Miss Loser is too enchanting

"Okay."

"Okay."

The others also expressed their agreement. With so many of them, if they happened upon some treasure, problems were sure to arise. It was better for everyone to search on their own; how much they found would be a matter of personal fate.

"However, I suggest that after we all leave, we should go to the Spiritual Master Association to thank Qianye. After all, our lives, and perhaps even the fate of this world, were saved by her and her friend," Lian Feng said.

"Right. Miss Qianye left just like that, we can’t simply forget about her," a disciple from an aristocratic family said.

The others also said that once they left, they would go to the Spiritual Master Association to find Dugu Qianye and offer a modest gift as a token of thanks. Then everyone mounted their individual mounts and left in all directions.

Here, Zi Xiao’s group continued to fly westward. After a while, they landed on a mountaintop. As Zi Xiao was holding Dugu Qianye and Ci Hun was holding Baili Ruyan, only Qie Yue and Hei Zi were left to set up the tent. Soon the tent was erected. Since none of them were accustomed to carrying a bed, except for Qie Yue who had a large bed, Zi Xiao and Ci Hun had to place Dugu Qianye and Baili Ruyan together.

Looking at the two of them lying side by side, those who had grown up seeing Zi Xiao’s enchanting face couldn’t help but marvel at the outstanding beauty of the pair.

"What beauties!" Qie Yue clucked appreciatively.

"Indeed," Hei Zi agreed.

Ci Hun, who usually had an eye for beauties, remained unusually quiet this time. When Qie Yue and the others looked over, they saw him staring at Baili Ruyan with a conflicted expression.

"Whoa, Ci Hun, what’s the matter? It’s rare to see you so silent," Qie Yue asked as he came over to Hei Zi.

If it had been before, Ci Hun would have joked about being mesmerized by the beauty, but this time he did not speak. He glanced at Qie Yue and then walked out of the tent.

Feeling awkward under Ci Hun’s gaze, Qie Yue asked, "What’s up with him?"

Hei Zi patted Qie Yue and said, "Baili Ruyan saved him, he’s wrestling with his feelings inside."

"Wrestling with what?"

Hei Zi gave Qie Yue a knock on the head and said, "What Divine Beast is Ci Hun?"

Qie Yue still didn’t catch on and replied, "A Kylin! But what does that have to do with anything?"

"How did I never notice how slow-witted you were before?" Hei Zi desisted from hitting Qie Yue this time and smacked his own forehead, saying, "The Kylin is a rare and auspicious creature, and Baili Ruyan and that night demon are of the same race. Ci Hun has always felt an instinctive aversion to her. Now that he’s been saved by Baili Ruyan, don’t you think he’s torn inside? Idiot! Let’s go out and check on him!"

After speaking, Hei Zi pulled Qie Yue with him and left, Zi Xiao remained alone inside the tent.

Zi Xiao took out water and a towel, intending to clean Dugu Qianye’s face and hands. As the towel swept across her face, he looked at her pale appearance and slightly parted sensual lips. After a long while, he said, "What should I do with you? I want you to live under my wings, but I don’t want you to be unhappy. You have your ideas and pursuits. I love your uninhibited style, but I worry that you won’t handle your troubles well. So I have no choice but to follow you always. You have to believe that I will make you love me as much as I love you."

Having said that, he leaned down and pressed his lips to hers, the soft sensation nearly making him lose control!

Suddenly, he felt someone approaching. He stood up, took the towel, and continued to wipe Dugu Qianye’s hands.

A figure appeared inside the tent.

Zi Xiao turned around and looked at Dingdong.

Indeed, the person who had come was Dingdong. Mang Qianjun, sensing that Baili Ruyan was injured, had specially sent Dingdong to take her back.

Seeing Zi Xiao wiping Dugu Qianye, Dingdong exclaimed in surprise, "Lord Xiao, how could it be you?" Why is it you doing these things? He swallowed the rest of his question just in time.

Then he looked at the neatly cleaned Dugu Qianye and the dirt-covered Baili Ruyan lying there, his mouth twitching. Although you’re not interested in women, is it necessary to differentiate between them to such an extent?

"I didn’t expect it to be you; I thought he would come himself," Zi Xiao said.

Dingdong went to Baili Ruyan’s side and said, "The king was held up with matters and couldn’t leave, so he sent me to take the princess back."

Zi Xiao nodded, indicating that he understood.

Then Dingdong took out a box and said, "This is from the king for her. Inside is the Communication Stone for contacting the princess. I would like to ask Lord Xiao to pass it on for me."

Zi Xiao took the box and said, "Okay." He was aware of the feelings between Dugu Qianye and Baili Ruyan, and he also knew the rules there, so he readily accepted the task of delivering the gift.

After Dingdong finished speaking, he bent down and picked up Baili Ruyan in a princess carry, which happened to be seen by Ci Hun who entered at that moment. Seeing Baili Ruyan in Dingdong’s arms, he suddenly felt it was an eyesore, quite displeasing, even more annoying than his aversion towards Baili Ruyan!

Dingdong gave a nod to Ci Hun, who had just entered, as a greeting. Then he said to Zi Xiao, "Then I’ll take the princess back now. Lord Xiao, the king asked me to tell you to come over when you have time."

Zi Xiao replied, "Okay. Tell him I’ll definitely visit when I have the time."

Dingdong nodded, then disappeared into the air with Baili Ruyan.

"She saved you, and it seems you haven’t thanked her yet," Zi Xiao said. "Don’t you want to do the ’my life was saved by you, and I can only repay you with my body’ thing?"

Upon hearing Zi Xiao’s words, Ci Hun suddenly jumped up and bellowed, "You want me to pledge myself to someone from that filthy race? I am a Kylin, a Divine Kylin. What I detest the most are those types, all right?"

Zi Xiao cleaned out his ears and said, "I’m going to change Little Yeye’s clothes; outsiders should step back."

"You’re the outsider!" Ci Hun continued to roar, "Do you believe she would slap you away the moment she wakes up?"

"I belong to Little Yeye, so it’s normal for me to change her clothes. Why should she slap me away? Maybe you want to do it instead?" Zi Xiao said. "If you don’t leave now, I’ll put you in the Spiritual Beast Space!

When Dugu Qianye woke up, it was already the third day since Baili Ruyan had left. She dreamed again about fighting alongside Baili Ruyan, and then being a burden on her, coming to this world where she was often bullied by others.

She sat up, rubbed her forehead, and just as she was about to get out of bed, she saw Zi Xiao walk in.

You’re awake? Come drink some porridge." Zi Xiao came in with a bowl of porridge, sitting down beside the bed.

Seeing the bowl of porridge, Dugu Qianye was reminded of the meal he made for her back in the Mo Family at Pu City, which also featured a bowl of porridge.

She took the bowl but did not drink, instead looking up at Zi Xiao to ask, "Where’s Ruyan?"

"She was picked up by people from her side." Zi Xiao replied, taking out the box Dingdong had left behind. "This was left by Dingdong. He said it’s a communication device for you and Baili Ruyan."
