Ji Fengyao chewed her fingernails so hard they made a "crunching" sound, secretly speculating:
What does this guy mean? Is he implying that her public diving today was unbecoming and made him lose face?
But didn't she have no better choice at the time?
She doesn't have any martial arts skills, so what's the point of him hinting at her?
It seems she needs to speed up the gathering of medicinal herbs and prepare the body-transforming medicine as soon as possible. Otherwise, with the capital city in turmoil and fraught with danger, relying on others for protection all the time isn't a sustainable solution.
midnight.
Hei Xiao, following Ji Fengyao's instructions during the day, came to see her dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, her face covered, and carrying a small backpack. He raised an eyebrow and smiled brightly, "What are you doing? Are you planning to elope with me?"
"Can't you hold back your complaints?" Ji Fengyao tightened her small backpack on her shoulder, stood on tiptoe with great enthusiasm, patted Hei Xiao's shoulder, and said, "Tonight, I'm taking you to do something of epoch-making significance. Maybe after tonight, this world will be changed forever."
Hei Xiao chuckled, unable to suppress his amusement: "Could it be that the Prince didn't stay at Hui Nuan Pavilion tonight, and you want me to take you to Mo Zhai to climb into his bed? If this gets out, it will definitely cause quite a stir in the capital tomorrow. However, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed, he's out of the manor and not at Mo Zhai."
You son of a bitch!
Why bring up something you shouldn't talk about!
Ji Fengyao roared, "Take me to the biggest pharmacy in the capital! If you mention sleeping with me again, I'll break off all ties with you!"
A gentle night breeze blows, the moon is bright, and the stars are few.
Black Owl led Ji Fengyao through the capital, leaping across rooftops and darting through streets and alleys like two nocturnal birds accustomed to roaming in the darkness.
Ji Fengyao lay on Hei Xiao's back, her clear phoenix eyes calm and clear. She was neither surprised nor afraid of Hei Xiao's speed. The night breeze gently lifted her soft, long hair. As it rose and fell, strands of hair inevitably fell onto Hei Xiao's shoulders, intertwining with his hair and carrying a sweet fragrance.
Black Owl glanced down at the two's intertwined hair several times, frowned slightly, and suppressed the strange feeling in his heart: "Aren't you curious about where the prince went last night again?"
"Went to a brothel again?" Ji Fengyao joked.
Black Owl: "..." He wanted to have a serious chat with her.
"Or are you trying to tell me that he actually has a lover and goes to meet his mistress in the middle of the night?" Ji Fengyao added another scathing remark.
Black Owl's lips twitched: "..."
"Hey? What's wrong with you today? Why are you suddenly concerned about your master? Are you unhappy that I teased him?" Ji Fengyao noticed Hei Xiao's strange behavior, curiously clung to his shoulder and snuggled up to look at his face.
The warm, fragrant body behind him and the hot breath wafting from his ear made Black Owl stumble and nearly fall off the roof.
"Don't move," he quickly warned in a stern voice.
Ji Fengyao thought she had hit the nail on the head, and clicked her tongue lightly, saying, "I know there are some things I shouldn't ask, but I'm really curious. Black Owl, what exactly is your relationship with the Prince? Why do you two seem to have such a strong bromance? Are you sure you're not just best buddies who love to fight each other?"
"What is a good buddy?" Black Owl asked, puzzled.
"It's roughly what you call homosexuality..."
Before Ji Fengyao could finish speaking, Hei Xiao suddenly stopped on the roof: "Do you think I'll kill you by falling?"
Ji Fengyao: "...Hehe, I was just joking, don't take it seriously!"
"How would you describe a normal man in your mind?" Black Owl asked seriously.
Ji Fengyao, a "straight man," answered.
