Le charme d'une femme puissante se répand à travers le monde - Chapitre 58
I grinned and clutched my stomach, laughing out loud. After laughing, I blinked a few times and said in a sweet, obedient voice, "Yes, Second Brother."
Erlinzi's face turned red again, as expected. Sigh, he's still the same as always. So funny, hehe.
"How did you end up on the battlefield? Are you out of your mind?" Erlinzi asked, his face flushed, seemingly both scolding and concerned. Ah, honest man, now that I've regained my female form, he just can't bring himself to call me "Third Brother."
But when have I ever been careless about my life? I cherish my life dearly. I rolled my eyes at him and said coolly, "Isn't Second Brother also on the battlefield? Besides, I have a group of experts protecting me, and I also have the Heavenly Silk Soft Armor you gave me!"
Oh dear, I've been traveling all day with the army, and I finally got a break before rushing off to see him. I forgot to take off my silk armor and return it to him. It seems like I've been a little excited ever since I saw Erlinzi. That's not normal.
"Marching and fighting is my duty, how is that any different from yours? And yet you came to the front lines!"
Huh, did the flies see me when the city gate broke down? Damn, that kid was even shooting arrows like he was cool, without even glancing at me. That's too much! I glared at him and pouted, "Even my older brother didn't stop me."
He looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated. Sigh, I softened. I hadn't seen him for so long, I couldn't let him suffocate when we met again: "Second Brother, just call me Qianqian."
Fox and Xilan both call me that, so there's no reason to treat Erlinzi differently. He's been the benefactor who has helped me out of trouble time and time again.
"Qianqian, your second brother will send someone to escort you home." He looked at me and said seriously. When the fox first called me Qianqian, it was a test; when Xilan first called me Qianqian, it was with doubt; but the person in front of me called me Qianqian for the first time, without testing or doubt, it was natural.
"No." I whine. It's so good to be a woman. I can be as coquettish and unreasonable as I want. "By the way, Second Brother, I'll come back to return the Tencel Soft Armor to you tomorrow morning. I'm still wearing it now. This soft armor is very useful. It will make you safer on the battlefield if you wear it."
"Are you going back to the Azure Sky Army camp?" A lazy voice came from outside the tent. I turned my head and saw that the person who leisurely walked in after lifting the tent flap was none other than Fox!
"Why is Big Brother here?" I touched my chin. Wasn't that fox at the Cold Star Army camp?
The fly, however, rose at the opportune moment and ushered the fox into the seat that had been his. The fox sat down calmly, without the slightest blush or embarrassment one would expect from someone taking another's seat. His two almond-shaped eyes half-closed as he looked at me, and then lazily said, "Didn't Qianqian say she would leave after meeting up with Qinglin?"
Uh? I think I did say that. But not now. I haven't even told Xilan yet. If I don't go back now, Xilan will definitely come looking for me. I can't let this cause a fight.
I swallowed hard and said rather cautiously, "But I haven't officially said goodbye to Xilan yet, and there's an enemy over there that I need to torture and deal with."
Honestly, why did I sound like a thief? I should be in the right. Xi Lan helped me so much, and I dragged her into this mess. Even if you've used someone and then discarded them, you shouldn't be so quick and heartless. People should be reasonable!
"A formal farewell? He'll be here soon, so you can say your formal farewell right here. As for that enemy, you don't need to do anything about him. Right now, wouldn't it be a waste not to make good use of him?" The fox had a smile on his face when he said this, but I couldn't tell there was something wrong with that smile, and the way he looked at me... well, it wasn't entirely innocent!
"Xi Lan is coming too?" A bad feeling crept over me, a very bad feeling. I frowned and thought for a moment, still wondering why Xi Lan would come. "He didn't say he was coming here."
"The three marshals will discuss the battle plan here later." Kind-hearted Qinglin helped me clear up my confusion at the right time.
"Oh, I see. Looks like I was overthinking it. Hehe, I'm relieved now." I smiled broadly at Mu Qinglin and said, "So Second Brother has something so important to say. It's really inconvenient for me to stay here. Let's talk about serious matters, so I'll excuse myself now. It wouldn't be good if someone saw us later. Big Brother, Second Brother, I'll be going now. Bye-bye!"
I waved to the two men, then turned and dashed out of the tent. Before I even reached the tent flap, I bumped into someone's arms. I looked up, and it was Fox! He looked at me with a mischievous grin, his eyes sparkling, and said coolly, "Big brother and Qianqian should leave. The marshal is discussing battle plans; I'm not the marshal, so I should also leave."
I turned my head and looked at Mu Qinglin with pleading eyes. I had only called out "Second Brother" when the fox forcibly dragged me out of the commander's camp.

Separation is a frequent occurrence (Part 2)
"Big brother, where are you taking me?"
"Oh, Erlinzi left me to die without helping, leaving me all alone now. He's so disloyal!" The fox didn't say anything, but pulled me onto a horse and galloped away from the camp.
Before me lay a lake, its surface bathed in moonlight, serene and tranquil. The winter night made me feel rather cold.
"Are you cold?" The fox picked me up and dismounted from the horse, letting the horse wander around nearby, and asked with feigned concern, blinking his bright black eyes.
I nodded hastily, thinking, "At least you have some conscience; you know how to care about people." That night was truly quite cold.
"I'm fine. It's all so quiet and deserted around here. If Qianqian really feels cold, why don't you hug the horse to warm up?" He stopped beside me, not even looking at me, speaking casually. After saying that, he even turned around to look, then suddenly his tone changed, sounding both helpless and regretful, "Oh dear, how did the horse run off? What should we do?"
I'm furious! That stinky fox not only didn't act all gentlemanly and considerate, taking off his own clothes and draping them over me, but he also made fun of me. Just because I haven't shown my teeth doesn't mean I'm some kind of Garfield.
I pouted, glanced at him, then looked up at the sky, my eyes and voice somewhat ethereal as I sighed, "My mother always told me that when looking for a lover, you should find someone romantic, and when looking for a husband, you should find someone considerate. Only you know the joys and sorrows of married life. If you find someone heartless, your life is ruined."
Having said that, I shook my head slightly and sighed deeply. You stinking fox, dreaming I'd throw myself at you!
Sure enough, as soon as the fox heard me say that, it hugged me from behind, blocking the chilly wind. I couldn't help but burst out laughing. Goodness, even foxes get their comeuppance sometimes! Hehe, that's so satisfying!
"Big brother, no, it tickles." Before I could finish laughing, the fox gently bit my earlobe, making it feel tingly and itchy. I shrank my neck but still couldn't avoid it.
"Then tell your older brother, when are you going home?" He stopped biting my earlobe and instead whispered in my ear, as if he could bewitch me. He held me tightly with one hand, while the other hand moved up rather restlessly, making me feel flustered and confused.
"Big brother." I tried to clear my mind, gripping the fox's restless hand tightly, my voice trembling slightly, "I am now Princess Xiyue of the Tianqing Kingdom. The Tianqing King has sent three people to monitor me. My sudden disappearance is impossible to explain. I need to discuss this with Xilan to avoid trouble."
"Is it just that I can't explain this to King Tianqing?" He suddenly turned me around, looked straight at me, and narrowed his eyes dangerously.
I followed his example, half-closing my eyes and remaining silent. Only when I saw the warm smile and tender affection in his eyes did I honestly confess, "Brother, Xi Lan is more than just a life-saving grace to me. How could I just leave like that? You know I can't do that, which is why you didn't stop me from going to war with the army, right?"
He sighed softly, pulled me into a tight embrace, and ultimately said nothing. I pressed my face against his chest, wrapped my arms around his waist, and felt a deep sense of gratitude: He, Fox, truly understands me!
After a long while, his gentle voice finally rang out from above: "Qianqian, you must get away as soon as possible."
I obediently nodded in his arms, but it felt like I brushed against something. I couldn't resist my curiosity and reached into his arms, but before my hand could touch it, the fox grabbed it.
I looked up at the fox in surprise, only to see his peach blossom eyes as deep as a pool, as if flames were dancing within them, and he said in a low, husky voice, "Qianqian, stay here tonight."
My face flushed instantly. Oh no! I seem to have a real talent for being a pervert. I actually took the initiative to undress a man. And what's more, as soon as I heard what the fox said, my little head immediately started thinking in a weird way. Oh no! It seems I'm becoming less and less pure. I can't forget that I'm a pure and beautiful eighteen-year-old girl right now.
"No...that's not good!" Just thinking about sleeping soundly in the fox's den made my face burn even hotter, and I started to stammer.
"Qianqian shares a tent with Tian Xilan every day, how come she doesn't find it a problem?" The fox's voice grew gentler, but I clearly sensed a dangerous aura. Jealous men are terrifying, especially one who is the ruler of a nation.
"Xi Lan and I are completely innocent and pure. Besides, the tents were divided in two at night, so nothing happened. Of course, I have nothing to worry about," I quickly explained. If the fox were convinced that I had cheated on him, with all the old and new grudges, my life would probably be over.
