Although Shengge greatly admired Situ Jingyan, she remained indifferent to him.
"Mo'er, why are you running so fast?" Situ Jingyan chased after her for quite a while before catching up with Shen Qianmo. He grabbed her sleeve, smiled, and asked.
"I, I want to go back to the manor! Why are you still following me!" Shen Qianmo glanced at Situ Jingyan, revealing an unreasonable look.
Situ Jingyan looked at Shen Qianmo's expression and found it extremely adorable. Even with such an ordinary appearance, she was still so charming.
“In five days, Mo’er will be returning to Tianmo with me. Let’s take one last look at the Prime Minister’s residence,” Situ Jingyan said thoughtfully, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.
Shen Qianmo gave a slightly cold smile. She hadn't expected time to pass so quickly. In five days, she would leave Qi Yue as a daughter sent for a political marriage. And five days later, it would also mark three months since she returned to Qi Yue.
Five days later, she will regain her appearance and her identity as the Demon Palace Master. The Prime Minister's legitimate daughter, Shen Qianmo, has been married off to Tianmo Kingdom, and she, the Demon Palace Master, will personally destroy those who have hurt her.
Shen Qianxin. Su Luoyan. Shen Lingyun. Shangguan Che. She won't let any of them go. She will repay them a hundredfold for the pain they inflicted on her. She will make them taste the pain of losing everything, the pain of falling from the clouds!
Cherish these last five days. After five days, everything in Qi Yue's life will no longer be peaceful. She, the Palace Mistress of the Demon Palace and the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's family, will stir up a storm in Qi Yue's world.
"Are you really going back to Tianmo in five days?" Shen Qianmo suddenly asked. It was inevitable that she would stay, but what about Situ Jingyan? Would he still stay in Qiyue? After all, he was the ruler of a country. Wouldn't he worry about something happening if he left Tianmo for so long?
Situ Jingyan looked at Shen Qianmo and smiled indulgently, "Wherever Mo'er is, that's where I am."
Chapter Forty-Four: Teasing Men?
"Master, Miss Qianmo was harassing someone in the street." Inside the Enchanting Blood Pavilion, with the doors and windows tightly closed and everything shrouded in a dim light, Qingsong respectfully reported to Situ Jingyan.
Situ Jingyan raised his eyes slightly displeased, but his expression was indifferent. He lazily said, "So what if she's teasing me? It's not like it's the first time she's dressed up as a woman and acted like this."
"This time, Miss is dressed in women's clothing." Qing Song was somewhat embarrassed, but he could only report it anyway, since protecting Shen Qianmo and reporting her whereabouts were orders given to him by his master. He, the number one assassin of the Enchanting Blood Tower, had actually been reduced to being a woman's follower.
Situ Jingyan's displeasure deepened. He put down the book in his hand, seemingly recalling Shen Qianmo's adorable antics when teasing those young ladies from prominent families. A smile appeared on his lips as he asked, "So what? Which young lady did you flirt with?"
“This time it’s not a young lady. It’s a young master,” Qingsong said somewhat awkwardly.
In the blink of an eye, Situ Jingyan had vanished. Qingsong watched his master's figure disappear like the wind, a hint of disbelief flashing in his eyes.
Is this still my master? Is he still that charming and domineering master?
"Young master is so handsome." Shen Qianmo was on the street at the moment, her innocent eyes hiding a hint of coldness. She smiled innocently as she looked at the man in front of her.
Her skin was as delicate as white porcelain. Her doll-like face was framed by eyes that sparkled like jewels, with long, thick eyelashes, and a high, straight nose beneath a mouth that held an innocent smile. She looked utterly adorable and harmless.
Shen Qianmo wore the same harmless smile. In her heart, however, she sneered. The Crown Prince of Linwei, Yan Xiuling, was indeed cunning. If she hadn't known his identity beforehand, she might have been deceived by his innocent appearance.
"Does Sister really think so?" Yan Xiuling's smile deepened as she spoke to Shen Qianmo like a child, but inwardly she thought with amusement that although this woman seemed innocent and harmless, she was actually very wary of her. It seemed that Shen Qianmo was indeed extraordinary; no wonder Situ Jingyan wanted to marry her.
"Mo'er." Just as Shen Qianmo was about to continue speaking, she suddenly felt someone wrap their arms around her waist. A familiar feeling rushed to her nose, and without turning around, she knew who it was.
"Let me go!" Shen Qianmo said.
She looked up at Situ Jingyan, who was still dressed in red. His eyes held a hint of jealousy, and his expression toward Yan Xiuling carried a warning.
Yan Xiuling couldn't help but laugh when she saw Situ Jingyan's expression.
He and Situ Jingyan did not know each other on the surface, but in fact, they had known each other for five years when they were both traveling in the martial arts world. They had a very good personal relationship and even made a pact to take Qi Yue as their prize.
Situ Jingyan had always been a free-spirited and charming figure, so when had I ever seen him so nervous? I couldn't help but have the idea of teasing Situ Jingyan.
"Young master, why are you holding onto my sister? Don't you know that men and women shouldn't touch each other?" Yan Xiuling pretended to be angry and pulled away Situ Jingyan's hand from Shen Qianmo's.
Although it seemed like a childish, casual pull, it actually involved a bit of skill. Situ Jingyan wasn't angry when Yan Xiuling removed his hand. Instead, he raised an eyebrow at Yan Xiuling and smiled, "She's my future wife! Am I right, Mo'er?"
“No.” Shen Qianmo replied without hesitation, her eyes even carrying a hint of mockery and admiration as she looked at Yan Xiuling. It seemed that Yan Xiuling had no ill intentions, and she was quite happy to see Situ Jingyan’s adorable, frantic state.
"See? The older sister already said, 'Young master, how can you force her like this?'" Yan Xiuling blinked her adorable eyes, grabbed Shen Qianmo's sleeve, and said, "Sister, don't be afraid, I'll protect you."
"Yan Xiuling!" Situ Jingyan shouted angrily when he saw Yan Xiuling's hand reaching for Shen Qianmo's. He pulled Shen Qianmo behind him and glared at Yan Xiuling. "Are you asking for a beating?!"
"Jingyan, how many times have I told you, don't call me by my name, call me Gongzi Xiu!" Yan Xiuling saw Situ Jingyan pull Shen Qianmo behind him and look indifferent. He smiled nonchalantly and said to Situ Jingyan.
Shen Qianmo was not surprised to see this scene. She had long guessed that Situ Jingyan and Yan Xiuling had a relationship. Now it seemed that the two had a very good personal relationship. This was good, as it saved her the trouble of dealing with Yan Xiuling.
However, the fact that Yan Xiuling is actually Gongzi Xiu remains a secret.
Gongzi Xiu is the young master of the Xiu family's shops, which are located in various countries. Gongzi Xiu, the young master of the Xiu family's shops, can be said to be richer than a country. But who would know that this person is actually Prince Yan Xiuling of Linwei?
With the Blood Demon Tower, the Xiu Family Shop, and the combined forces of Linwei and Tianmo, it's impossible for Qi Yue to survive.
"So the Crown Prince of Linwei is actually Gongzi Xiu. That's quite an interesting thing." Shen Qianmo smiled slightly and looked at Yan Xiuling with great interest.
"Jingyan, you even told the Prime Minister's daughter about my identity? That's so unfair! You really value romance over friendship!" Yan Xiuling said to Situ Jingyan with some dissatisfaction after hearing Shen Qianmo's words.
"So what if I prioritize romance over friendship!" Situ Jingyan actually admitted it frankly, taking Shen Qianmo's hand and saying with a smile, "In my eyes, you're not even as good as one of Mo'er's fingers."
"Pfft," Shen Qianmo was amused by Situ Jingyan. Although she knew that Situ Jingyan was joking on purpose to annoy Yan Xiuling, she still felt warm inside.
"I'm rather curious, what's so special about this young lady from the Prime Minister's residence?" Yan Xiuling scrutinized Shen Qianmo more closely.
He knew that Situ Jingyan was joking just now, but Situ Jingyan's concern for Shen Qianmo was genuine. In the past, when he joked with Situ Jingyan, Situ Jingyan would always ignore him with a wicked look, but today, he was actually worried about a woman.
The woman before me, though plain in appearance, possessed an indescribable air of nobility; though she looked innocent, her eyes were filled with wisdom.
According to his intelligence, the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's family, Shen Qianmo, grew up in the mountains since childhood. How could such an extraordinary woman emerge from the mountains?
"Don't even think about it!" Situ Jingyan said smugly, as if Shen Qianmo was his precious treasure. "My woman is naturally special. For example, she's the one who found out your identity, and I didn't say a word about it."
Shen Qianmo looked at Situ Jingyan's proud expression and couldn't help but smile. Why could Situ Jingyan love her like a child? And she, too, had fallen in love with him in such a childlike way.
