Princess Xiangsi - Chapter 58
The stars in the night sky have all come out, watching over Dustless Valley along with the moon. Tonight, Dustless Valley is destined to be exceptionally lively.
After stepping over the last pear tree, Qingyun stopped and stood high above the pear blossoms, looking down at the spirit bird on the ground.
A gentle night breeze caressed Qingyun's long, black hair, like satin, danced with the pear blossoms, white as snow and black as ink. From afar, it was a breathtakingly beautiful scene.
Qingyun raised an eyebrow. "You stinky bird, don't you recognize me?"
The spirit bird flapped its wings and flew to Qingyun's front. Its black eyes rolled around before it flapped its wings again.
After understanding its meaning, Qingyun's lips twitched slightly. "I didn't come to see you today, so I didn't bring anything for you to eat." Then she glared at it and waved her fist in front of it. "You stinky bird, if you don't let me pass, this is what you'll eat."
The spirit bird flapped its wings reluctantly before stepping aside and muttering, "Violent woman!"
Qingyun suppressed the bulging veins on her forehead, turned her head and glared fiercely at it before immediately using her lightness skill to fly into the house.
The room was empty; there wasn't a soul in sight.
The candlelight flickered dimly, and open medical books and crumpled papers were scattered around the table. Qingyun randomly picked up one; it was full of articles about Ye Lian. She unfolded a crumpled piece of paper; the handwriting inside was messy, completely unlike Li Ge's usual style.
Qingyun bit her lip slightly. She suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if a tiny needle was slowly piercing the tip of her heart, and the subtle pain was slowly seeping into her bone marrow with her blood.
Li Ge has been working tirelessly for her these past few months; it must have been very tiring for him!
Suddenly, a cheerful voice rang out behind her.
"Woman, you've become ugly."
As soon as he finished speaking, a palm strike followed.
Qingyun immediately turned around and neutralized Li Ge's sudden attack with an even more powerful palm strike. She then drew her sword from the table and launched a new offensive against Li Ge.
"Wow! Woman, you really don't hold back!" Li Ge retreated repeatedly, dodging her sword.
Qingyun pursed her lips and her sword movements became even faster, while Lige was not to be outdone. She drew another sword from the table and began to fight Qingyun in the room.
"Woman, go outside and fight. Don't damage my medical books."
"good."
Two white figures immediately flew out of the window and into the pear blossom grove.
Suddenly, the pear blossom grove was filled with the glint of swords and the fluttering of pear blossoms. Two cold, white lights shimmered incessantly under the moonlight. A snow-white bird perched high on a pear tree, its dark eyes darting about, seemingly admiring the scene. As Qingyun's fortunes declined, it flapped its wings vigorously, as if mocking Qingyun.
In short, it didn't seem worried about its two owners at all; it seemed more like it was watching a good show, as if this was an everyday occurrence.
"Woman, your martial arts skills have deteriorated."
"Stop arguing! Focus." Qingyun frowned and continued her offensive.
Li Ge shook his head helplessly and continued to defend against her attacks.
The sky seemed to be showering pear blossoms when a soft white light flashed across Qingyun's hand, and the sword in her hand fell to the ground with a clang.
That white light was none other than Li Ge's sword light.
"Woman, you've lost."
Qingyun curled her lip and said dismissively, "You taught me martial arts, so it's only natural that I lost to you."
Li Ge curled her lips into a smile, tossed aside her sword, and raised an eyebrow. "Woman, it's not like you to admit defeat so quickly."
"Then what would make me like?" A strange smile appeared on her lips. "Could this be what makes me like—" Her tone was drawn out. With lightning speed, Qingyun unleashed a palm strike, and all the pear blossom petals around her rushed towards Lige. As if they had a mind of their own, they turned into a white ribbon under Qingyun's palm strike and wrapped around Lige's neck.
Qingyun leaned forward, blinked her eyes, and said with a hint of triumph, "I won." After a pause, she added, "All's fair in war."
The bird on the pear tree flapped its wings, flew to Li Ge's head, circled once, and left two words—"Useless."—before flapping its wings again and flying away.
Li Ge sighed helplessly, "Woman, you're using this trick again."
"As long as we win." Qingyun smiled, released Lige, and all the pear blossoms fell to the ground.
Li Ge glanced at the pear blossoms on the ground, then tugged at Qing Yun, shook her head, and said, "My poor pear blossoms! Every time I accompany you, this woman, to vent your emotions, I have to waste a whole bunch of pear blossoms in my valley."
Qingyun blinked her eyes, looking a little aggrieved. "Am I not as good as those pear blossoms in Li Ge's heart?" She sniffed, looking pitiful.
Li Ge nodded seriously, "Pear blossoms can also be used for medicine, but as for you—besides your brain and hands being somewhat useful, you're really not that useful."

"You, you, you heartless miracle doctor! This is too much! You haven't sent a single letter in months, and the first thing you do when you see me is point a sword at me, and then you even look down on me! You've gone too far! Waaah, poor me!"
After listening, Li Ge yawned. "Woman, you're still as good at talking nonsense as ever. As good at acting as ever." He raised an eyebrow. "Woman, you seem to have forgotten something these past few months."
Qingyun's lips twitched. She took a few steps back and forced a smile. "Wh...what is it?"
"Write a book!" A flame flashed in his brown eyes. "Woman, you haven't written a book in months! Now it'll be hard to even get into Qingyun Pavilion; it's overflowing with letters!"
Qingyun bit her lip, and suddenly she seemed to remember something. Her expression turned somewhat sad. "Lige, too many things have happened lately. I really don't feel like writing."
Li Ge sighed, leaned forward and gently embraced Qingyun, resting her head on his shoulder. "Never mind, woman, write when you feel like it." She's really had a tough time lately.
Qingyun smiled gently, wrapped her arms around him, and pressed herself tightly against Lige, absorbing his unique warmth.
"Farewell Song, so beautiful."
