Miss Loser is too enchanting

"Are you tired?" Zi Xiao looked at Dugu Qianye who had just snapped back to reality for a bit and then spaced out again, thinking about her unhealed injury, he said, "Let’s go back, once you’re healed, we can come out again."

From the tone of Zi Xiao’s voice, Dugu Qianye could feel his respect and affection for the Creator God. She didn’t know whether to tell him she was the reincarnation of the Creator God. She believed there shouldn’t be secrets between them, yet she didn’t want other emotions to complicate their relationship. She was uncertain how Zi Xiao would treat her after finding out, leaving her conflicted. When Zi Xiao suggested going back, she nodded in agreement. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Zi Xiao looked at Dugu Qianye, kissed her on the face, and said, "No matter what you look like, or who you are, I only like you, you and only you!"

Dugu Qianye didn’t know if Zi Xiao had already figured it out. She wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her head in his shoulder, saying, "Let’s go back."

"Okay," Zi Xiao said and then picked up Dugu Qianye, returning to the palace. While passing through a bamboo forest, they happened to run into Master Nian Hua. Master Nian Hua bowed to Zi Xiao, then looking at Dugu Qianye, he said, "So this is Miss Qianye? I have been hearing about you from Nian Hua all this time, and finally, I meet you today. How is your recovery from your injuries?"

"Many thanks to Master Nian Hua for your concern," Dugu Qianye nodded to Master Nian Hua and said, "With those good medicines from Master Nian Hua, it would be difficult not to recover."

"Haha, that’s good to hear!" Master Nian Hua laughed heartily, "Nian Hua doesn’t have many friends, and it’s rare for him to find someone he likes. He always tells me that you’re a friend regardless of age, and you’ve brought a lot of joy to him!"

"Master Nian Hua is a very good friend, talking with him is a pleasure for me as well," Dugu Qianye replied.

"Haha, that’s good, you are welcome to visit me anytime," Master Nian Hua said, "But I have some matters to attend to, so I must take my leave now. Your Highness, your servant will withdraw."

Zi Xiao nodded and Master Nian Hua left. Dugu Qianye kept watching his departing figure and said, "Master Nian Hua must have been very handsome when he was young, with many admirers!"

Earlier, she had observed Master Nian Hua closely and found that, just as Zi Xiao said, not only was his hair and beard white, but his face also bore many fine wrinkles, which were not common among spiritual masters!

Zi Xiao playfully nibbled on Dugu Qianye’s earlobe as a punishment, saying, "Was he as handsome as me? You couldn’t take your eyes off him!"

Dugu Qianye turned her head away from his assault, saying, "I was just looking out for Nian Hua! Judging by the way he talked just now, he hardly strayed from the topic of Nian Hua, he must also have feelings for Nian Hua."

Zi Xiao looked into her slightly narrowed eyes, smiled, and asked, "What mischievous idea are you thinking of now?"

"What mischievous idea!" Dugu Qianye nibbled on Zi Xiao’s face and said, "I never think of mischievous ideas, I only do naughty things!"

Zi Xiao’s heart tickled with her action, and when she moved away from his cheek, his lips captured hers, nibbling lightly. It was a while before he let go, seductively saying, "I’m waiting to see when you’ll come to do something naughty to me."

"Aren’t you afraid someone will see us!" Dugu Qianye glared at Zi Xiao and urged, "Let’s hurry back."

Zi Xiao laughed heartily and carried her to his bedchamber. Once in the courtyard, they saw Little Baiqiu and La Yun running around. Up close, Little Baiqiu was seen rolling the Fire Spirit Pearl on the ground, while La Yun chased after it, the once clean Fire Spirit Pearl was now covered in dirt.

Seeing Dugu Qianye, Little Baiqiu ran over with the Fire Spirit Pearl, saying, "Keke, when did you go out? Why didn’t you take me with you?"

"Now that you have La Yun, you hardly remember your owner!" Dugu Qianye said, burying her head in Zi Xiao’s shoulder, feigning heartache as she complained.

"I did not, I still love Keke the most! But a few days ago, La Yun took me to play in the Jiutian Xuanjie for a few days, and it was really fun!" Little Baiqiu said.

"See, see, going out to play without even telling me, I haven’t seen you for a few days and thought you had disappeared. Turns out you were on a date with a handsome guy. Ah, my heart is broken!" Dugu Qianye continued sorrowfully.

"Keke, stop pretending, I saw the corner of your mouth. It’s almost reaching your ears," Little Baiqiu patted the Fire Spirit Pearl on the ground, and said.

"Ugh—" Dugu Qianye suddenly looked up and said, "Qiuqiu, you’ve learned to be naughty!"

"I haven’t, I’m still the well-behaved Qiuqiu, Keke and La Yun’s favorite Qiuqiu!" After saying that, Little Baiqiu began to chase the Fire Spirit Pearl all over the yard again. The poor Fire Spirit Pearl, which had always been high and untouchable by anyone but the Creator God, was now being used as Qiuqiu’s toy.

Maybe it was the influence of the other Spiritual Pearls inside it, or maybe it was the thought of it being her bracelet in her past life, having accompanied her through many years. Even though it had hurt her so badly, seeing its current state, she couldn’t bear it anymore.

"Qiuqiu, give me the Fire Spirit Pearl," Dugu Qianye called out to Little Baiqiu.

Hearing Dugu Qianye’s voice while frolicking in the yard, Little Baiqiu looked at her, then at the Fire Spirit Pearl on the ground, and finally brought it to Dugu Qianye, tossing it onto her.

"Keke, get well soon. I haven’t eaten the food you make for so long," Little Baiqiu said, looking at Dugu Qianye with a craving expression.

"I’ll make it for you once I’m better," Dugu Qianye promised.

Back in the room, Zi Xiao laid Dugu Qianye back on the bed, and the Fire Spirit Pearl rolled off. Seeing the Fire Spirit Pearl, Dugu Qianye said, "You should unseal it."

Zi Xiao nodded and said, "This Fire Spirit Pearl, unless it chooses a master, can only be controlled by the Creator God. Be careful not to be hurt by it."

Dugu Qianye nodded, Zi Xiao picked up the Fire Spirit Pearl, dissipated the netting around it, and the layer of ice that was wrapping it melted in an instant. The Fire Spirit Pearl returned to its fiery red appearance, but Dugu Qianye could clearly feel that it was not in good spirits.

Two days later, Dugu Qianye had Master Nian Hua remove the gauze from her hand. As soon as her right hand was exposed, she heard the voice of the Vine Emperor.

"Oh my goodness, I can finally breathe!"

Master Nian Hua had always thought that the Vine Emperor on the back of Dugu Qianye’s hand was a tattoo. He never imagined it was a plant creature. Looking at its little flowers perking up, he said, "This plant creature must be of a high level, right? You’ve been through that environment, and yet it’s unharmed!"

Dugu Qianye moved her hands, looked at the palms that had recovered to their original state, smiled, and said, "I’ve never known its level, nor do I understand how the levels of these Spirit Transformations plants are determined."

After chatting for a while longer, Master Nian Hua stood up and left.

Dugu Qianye picked up the Fire Spirit Pearl Zi Xiao had left by the bed. This was her first time touching the Fire Spirit Pearl, feeling a vaguely familiar burning sensation.
