L'hibiscus comme peinture

Chapitre 11

"Not in the military."

"Then..." If you don't want to join the army, then why do you want to go to the military camp?

"I need to see Ouyang Jinxuan." Whether or not we can get that thing done depends mainly on him.

"You want to see the Prince? What's the matter?" She actually addressed the Prince by his name. Was she really from Mo Family Village? Could she be a spy from Cang Liao? Wei Ziqi began to have some doubts about Mo Jun's identity, but her clear and innocent eyes made him immediately dismiss his suspicions.

"Let's talk about it when I see him! Do you agree?"

"This..." As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, and at this sensitive time, how could the prince meet with her so casually?

"You won't agree? Do you suspect I have ill intentions?" She could tell from his expression, and she also knew that Ouyang Jinxuan wasn't someone she could easily meet.

"No, no... Alright then! You all come back to the military camp with me first. As for seeing the prince, I need to report to him first." He had a feeling that this person was definitely not a bad person.

"Hmm." Ao Jun nodded slightly, then turned to Yue Ying and said, "Yueying, would you like to come to the military camp with me?" After all, the military camp is different from other places, and I don't know if she can handle it.

"Yes, I'm willing to follow you for the rest of my life." Yueying's face turned so red it looked like it could bleed.

"Then let's bury our parents first! General, thank you for your trouble."

"Hmm." At this moment, Wei Ziqi was troubled about how to report this matter to the prince. Bringing a stranger into the military camp, and with a woman along, was something the prince was unaware of...

"Ding ding..." It sounded like water. Ao Jun snapped out of her reverie. Why would there be water sounds near the military camp? Out of curiosity, Ao Jun followed the sound.

Wow! The water is so clear! It's crystal clear; I never imagined there would be such a pond near the military camp. Thinking about how she hadn't showered for two days and felt really uncomfortable, and in a place like a military camp, she wondered if there were fleas—she was a bit of a germaphobe, and the thought terrified her. But it was so dark, and there was nobody around, so why not…

As the saying goes, action speaks louder than words. In no time, she stripped off her clothes and leaped into the clear pool. Wow! So refreshing! She hadn't felt this relaxed since arriving at the Dragon Dynasty. She swam with absolute gusto! One moment she was doing breaststroke, the next butterfly… And let me tell you, swimming is her forte. Back in school, the school team tried everything to get her to join! But, being lazy, she turned them all down.

After swimming for a while, she got a little tired and simply leaned against a large rock by the pool, letting the moonlight shine on her face. Mmm! So comfortable! The water in ancient times was so clear, without any impurities, and the moon was even brighter than in modern times. Gazing at the sky, she seemed to see her father, uncles and aunts, Yuqing, and the uncles and aunts who loved her, all reflected in the moonlight… Everything from the 21st century flashed before her eyes like a revolving lantern. It felt like something from a past life. Could she really never go back? Ao Jun suddenly felt a pang of sadness, and her eyes welled up with tears.

Such a night does indeed bring back many memories. Just now, back in the military camp, I couldn't sleep because I missed everything in the 21st century, so I came out for a walk and unexpectedly discovered this pond. It seems that everything in the world is preordained.

Lost in thought, Ao Jun leaned against the large rock and fell asleep. The moonlight continued to shine quietly on her, creating such a beautiful scene!

A figure emerged from beneath the calm surface of the pool, shattering the tranquility of the night. With a flick of his jet-black hair, he revealed a cold, handsome face; this person was none other than Ouyang Jinxuan.

He discovered this pool by chance; the clear water always relaxed his weary body and mind. This was his secret base. These past few days, the heavy military duties had left him physically and mentally exhausted, especially the matter of Mo Family Village. Yelü Ying had dared to wipe out the entire village—how cruel! He often felt guilty, knowing that Yelü Ying's actions were directed at him, but he couldn't understand what he had done to offend him.

There's something different about this place! As a top-tier expert, his keen senses honed through years of training allowed him to quickly sense that someone else was there besides him. His relaxed nerves immediately tensed up: Who could be here in such a secluded place?

The scene before him made even the usually rational and composed man hold his breath: Under the dim starlight, the girl's jet-black hair was smooth and soft, lying flat against the stone like satin. She was like a sweet, quiet child, leaning against the stone, so carefree and so languid. The bright moonlight scattered on her face, creating a mysterious, hazy beauty, and the slight smile on her lips was so captivating. This moment, this image, would forever be etched in the deepest part of his heart.

Ouyang Jinxuan swam over without even realizing it.

Ao Jun, who was half-asleep, keenly sensed an unusual presence slowly approaching her from behind. This jolted her awake, and as she turned to look, a large hand suddenly encircled her waist. A masculine scent brushed against her ear, instantly freezing her in place, her heart pounding uncontrollably. She had never been so close to a man before, and she knew they were both naked. Her usually expressionless face flushed crimson. Thankfully, no one could see; otherwise, how could she possibly save face!

"Who are you? The Fairy of the Moon?" A magnetic yet gentle voice rang in her ears, and a string in her heart snapped, stirring her usually calm mind, and the unease lingered for a long time.

“You must be a fairy who has mistakenly entered the mortal realm.” Seeing that the other party did not answer, Ouyang Jinxuan murmured to himself.

Looking at her up close, her graceful neck was smooth and delicate, her collarbones were beautiful, her body was crystal clear, the soft touch on his hands, and the faint yet pleasant fragrance emanating from her body stimulated every cell in his body. A male desire slowly rose from his lower abdomen, and the hand holding her waist tightened even more, while the other hand slowly reached out.

"Ugh!" The pain in her waist made Ao Jun groan, bringing her back to her senses. The chest against her back seemed to be getting warmer, making her blood feel like it was boiling. It must be this man's fault. No, she had to get away from him quickly, but he was holding her so tightly, so forcefully.

The muffled moans of the woman in his arms brought Jin Xuan back to his senses instantly. His outstretched hand froze in mid-air, and he frowned in annoyance: What was wrong with him? How could he, who had always been indifferent to women, be so reckless? Just now, he was like a man possessed, completely out of his control, holding the person in his arms like this, and even... The thought that he had such thoughts about her, whom he had never even met, made him want to beat himself up. He slowly loosened his grip, but he didn't want to let go of the person in his arms so easily, so his hand was still on her waist, only much looser.

Seeing the man slowly loosen his grip on her waist, but still not letting go, Ao Jun felt she couldn't miss the chance. She bumped backward and then slid down like an eel, escaping the man's embrace. If she didn't leave, she wondered if she would die of heat.

Jin Xuan didn't expect that the person in his arms would break free from him at this moment. He was caught off guard and let her slip out of his arms. Without thinking, he grabbed her wrist with lightning speed and pulled her around. He just wanted to see her face clearly.

"Want to see me? Not so easy!" Just as Jin Xuan was about to see her, Ao Jun splashed water from the pool with her other hand, heading straight for Jin Xuan. A splash of water immediately rose between them. Jin Xuan instinctively closed his eyes and turned his head away, but his grip on Ao Jun's hand didn't loosen at all, though this distracted him. Ao Jun's gripped hand nimbly twisted a few times, then with all her might, she pushed him away, not only freeing herself from Jin Xuan's grasp but also shoving him into the pool. The movement was swift and clean. Seeing his disheveled state, Ao Jun couldn't help but laugh out loud. Then, she leaped up, flew to the edge of the pool, grabbed her clothes, hastily put them on, and quickly disappeared. (By the way, she hadn't actually practiced her lightness skill yet; she had only remembered seeing how to circulate her energy in a manual and tried to imitate it. Surprisingly, in this 'critical' moment, she didn't make a mistake!) Her flustered appearance was even more disheveled than Jin Xuan's, but he was completely oblivious; otherwise, he wouldn't have laughed at her.

Jinxuan surfaced from the pool, shaking the water droplets from his face. Looking around, he saw no trace of the 'fairy'. He was filled with regret; how could he have been so careless? He had almost seen her, how could he have let her disappear before his eyes? The 'fairy's' faint fragrance still lingered on her, so pleasant. And there was her clear, cheerful laughter as she left—so beautiful, so captivating. He knew he would never forget that voice, nor would he forget this 'fairy,' this 'fairy' who had unexpectedly entered his life. When would he see her again? Would she come tomorrow night? Or had she been frightened away and wouldn't come back?…

A series of questions kept swirling in his mind. Apart from Yuqing, she was the first person to so deeply move him, the first woman to make him so impulsive, so unable to control himself, so irresistible. He missed her…

Lost and dejected, Jin Xuan stood blankly in the pool for a long, long time. It wasn't until dawn was approaching that he finished dressing in a daze. Just as he was about to leave, his attention was drawn to something that was shining.

He picked it up and examined it. What was this thing? Its shape was so strange, it was a bit heavy, and it didn't seem like silver. He didn't know what it was made of; it was silvery-white, small and exquisite, quite adorable. Even someone as knowledgeable as him had never heard of or seen anything like it before. It didn't seem like something from this world. Could it have been accidentally dropped by that 'fairy'? He carefully tucked it into his robes, glanced at the empty pond, and then turned back to the military camp.

Military Advisor and Princess: Battlefield Chapter 11 - Military Advisor Mo

"Huh? Where did it go?" As soon as Wei Ziqi entered the tent, he saw Ao Jun, who was usually indifferent, anxiously rummaging through things, muttering to himself.

"Young Master Mo." Seeing that the person who had been inside for so long was still oblivious to her frantic search, Wei Ziqi could only call out. But Ao Jun seemed not to hear him, still burying her head in her work, rummaging through things she had already rummaged through countless times.

"General Wei, you've arrived?" Yueying suddenly asked from the side.

"Uh? You... Miss Mo, what is Young Master Mo looking for?" There was another person inside the tent! He hadn't noticed at all; he only saw Mo Jun, dressed in pure white. (His eyes were only on him.)

"Oh, Yueying doesn't know either. My brother has been anxiously searching for it since this morning. I wanted to help, but he wouldn't tell me what he was looking for. So Yueying can only stand here." Yueying glanced at the busy Aojun and sighed, "Seeing how anxious my brother is, that thing must be very important to him. But Yueying is really useless and can't help at all."

"Miss Mo..." Wei Ziqi was about to say something when he saw the busy person suddenly raise his head and mutter to himself, "Could it have fallen there?" He then started to walk out.

"What are you doing here?" Turning around, she realized that two people had entered her tent and were staring at her with puzzled expressions.

"Brother, I've been here for ages!" Yueying pouted, dissatisfied. She'd been here so long, and even asked him what he was looking for? He hadn't even noticed she'd come. The feeling of being ignored made her incredibly sad.

"Oh, I wasn't paying attention for a moment." He said indifferently, and was about to leave without looking at Yueying, so of course he couldn't have noticed the sadness and love in her eyes.

"Young Master Mo, have you lost something? Let me help you look for it! You should rest in your tent!" Wei Ziqi stopped her. He hadn't reported to the Prince yet, and few people in the military camp knew of their existence. He couldn't be allowed to leave like this, otherwise he might be mistaken for a spy and killed.

"It's nothing, just something insignificant." She turned back into the camp, her expression calm and unwavering, as if it truly was something unimportant. She understood why Wei Ziqi wouldn't let her leave; she'd just wait and sneak out later. So she didn't intend to make things difficult for him.

But only she knew in her heart that it was her most important possession—the only thing she had left herself—a finely crafted pistol. She woke up in the morning to find it missing, and panicked, not knowing what to do. She searched the entire tent but couldn't find it, then wondered if she might have dropped it by the pond last night. Recalling the events of the previous night, a suspicious blush appeared on Ao Jun's fair face.

"Brother, are you alright? Why is your face so red?" Yueying exclaimed in surprise and quickly placed her small hand on Aojun's forehead.
