Princess Xiangsi - Chapter 97
"Achoo!" Suddenly, Ziyi sneezed. After glancing at Qingyun's gritted teeth, she immediately understood why she had sneezed for no reason.
Ugh! That woman is yelling at him!
"Doesn't Madam enjoy writing books?" asked the woman in purple with a smile.
Qingyun shook her head and nodded slightly. "The result of writing a book is wonderful, but the process is painful. In the darkness, under the candlelight, you are all alone, writing a book. Looking at the increasing amount of ink on the paper, you feel satisfied but also a little bit of melancholy."
Zi Yi was taken aback, and a pang of sadness welled up in her heart.
“Madam, Ziyi will accompany you when you write books from now on.”
Qingyun moved her lips, about to speak, when suddenly a gentle breeze blew by, carrying a melodious zither tune. Each light note seemed like a sedative to lull one into a deep sleep.
Qingyun looked around. The carriage had stopped at some point. The woman in purple, who had just been smiling sweetly, was now lying on the soft couch, and the coachman was also lying to the side.
Qingyun alighted from the carriage.
The sound of the piano still rang out in the still air, still melodious and ethereal.
Volume Two: Fate Leads to a Good Marriage, Kidnapping 2
The wind stopped, the trees fell silent, and even the air seemed to cease its flow. Qingyun felt as if time itself had stood still, leaving only her and the sudden burst of zither music.
"Who goes there?!"
Qingyun frowned and asked in a loud voice.
The music stopped abruptly, followed by a series of crisp laughs that echoed endlessly through the empty valley. Though the laughter was as clear and melodious as the tinkling of bells, it sounded like the sinister laughter of a demon in the dark, sending chills down one's spine and filling one with dread.
Qingyun was secretly astonished; this person's martial arts skills were not to be underestimated. In such a large valley, the laughter was so clear, and she couldn't even tell which direction it came from.
Then, laughter and music resumed. This time, the music was not light and gentle, but rather carried a captivating timbre that resonated throughout the empty valley.
Qingyun's eyes suddenly became empty, and a deep silver light appeared in her pupils.
She walked blindly into the mountains, as if a thread was pulling her forward. After passing through a large grove of trees, Qingyun stopped in front of a pavilion.
At this moment, the music and laughter stopped, and Qingyun regained her senses, her eyes returning to normal.
Qingyun looked around and was immediately horrified.
The music she just heard had captivated her heart and soul!
Although Qingyun was greatly alarmed, her face remained calm and indifferent.
She looked towards the pavilion draped with white gauze, and through the thin veil, she saw a woman with a graceful figure inside.
"Who are you?" Qingyun asked calmly, her brows furrowing slightly, without the slightest hint of fear.
"hehe……"
The woman inside the pavilion chuckled softly, her laughter clear and crisp. As the laughter abruptly ceased, a purple shadow flashed before Qingyun's eyes, followed by a dark purple figure gracefully descending from the sky and gently landing in front of her. The dark purple woman bowed slightly to Qingyun.
"I am Mei Li, and I have been waiting for the Lord's wife for a long time."
Mei Li raised her eyes and smiled alluringly, her smile as beautiful as a blooming blood flower.
Inside the carriage.
The moment the music began, Zi Yi was immediately terrified, knowing that the music could cause unconsciousness or slumber. She immediately held her breath and focused her mind, ignoring the music. However, since it was her first time encountering such music, she was inevitably slightly injured. By the time she had completely resisted the notes that would induce sleep, Qing Yun had already disappeared into the woods.
Purple Robe rushed into the woods, but the woods were filled with white mist and were also protected by a formation.
Zi Yi frowned, suppressing her anxiety, and began to calmly break the formation.
With a light leap, the woman in purple flew to the treetop, using branches as swords, and moved swiftly through the woods.
A moment later, the woman in purple smiled slightly.
If this place is broken, this formation will be completely destroyed.
With a gentle smile, the branch transformed into a sharp arrow. Using the flowing mist in the air, the purple-clad figure invisibly transformed into a transparent bow, and swiftly shot the branch toward the point of attack.
With a loud bang, flames flashed, the white mist dissipated, and a white figure emerged from the mist.
That white figure was none other than Qingyun!
Qingyun's eyes were like a turbulent sea, with layers of waves carrying a multitude of complex emotions, as if bearing countless vicissitudes.
Upon seeing Ziyi, Qingyun was taken aback at first, then smiled sweetly, her eyes becoming clear and bright. "I got lost in the woods just now. Luckily, I found Ziyi, otherwise I might not have been able to get out tonight!"
Zi Yi naturally noticed the turbulent emotions in Qing Yun's eyes just now, and vaguely felt that Qing Yun's current feeling had changed, becoming indifferent and ruthless.
Those eyes were clearly clear and bright, shimmering with a soft light, yet they held an air of indifference and aloofness that kept people at a distance, just like…
The former Feng Xue.
The woman in purple's pupils suddenly contracted.
Could it be?
Upon closer inspection, Qingyun was all smiles, her previous indifference and aloofness completely gone.
The woman in purple smiled with relief. It was just an illusion.
"Hehe, Madam. Ziyi will take you out now."
