The night was getting darker. Although the smell of barbecue and wine was fragrant, and the laughter of the people was lively, it could not wash away the chill of the desert at night.
Ji Bingyan had a blanket on her body as she sat under the shadow of a tree beside the pool, looking at the stars in the sky that were dense and gradually sparse.
He just sat there without moving, as if he could sit until the end of the world. It was as if he would never feel lonely or tired.
Suddenly, a wine bottle was thrown at him. It was about to hit Ye's head. He didn't move at all, but the wine bottle was already in his hand.
Chu Liuxiang walked over and looked up at the sky, sighing,""It's so cold here…"
He suddenly realized that Ji Bingyan's hair was already covered in ice shards. He frowned and said,"You're drinking, but you don't stand up and walk around. You're just sitting there, aren't you afraid of freezing to death?”
"It won't kill me from the cold." Ji Bingyan smiled faintly and said.”
He finally uncorked the bottle and took a sip of wine before slowly continuing,"I can only see if there are outsiders if I sit here without moving. If I walk around randomly, I won't be able to take care of everything.”
Chu Liuxiang looked at him and sighed,""In this world, who can tell that you would starve and freeze for your friends?”
Ji Bingyan's face sank and she said coldly,"I only do what I'm willing to do. What does it have to do with me what other people think of me?"”
Chu Liuxiang smiled and didn't say anything. He knew that when Ji Bingyan put on a stern face, no matter what you said to him, you would inevitably be rejected.
After a long while, Ji Bingyan said again,"Where's Little Hu?"
"They've entered the bridal chamber," Chu Liuxiang said.
"Carried in?" Ji Bingyan asked.
Chu Liuxiang laughed." It's like a roasted camel. It's just short of stuffing a sheep in its stomach."”
Ji Bingyan couldn't help but laugh as well, muttering,"A person who can get drunk at any time is quite lucky.”
Chu Liuxiang took the bottle and took a sip."Is there any movement outside?"
Ji Bingyan said," The person who left the note must have left long ago. This person is really capable to stick the note on a roasted camel in public. Even I want to meet him."”
"When did you become so emotional?" Chu Liuxiang laughed. This is rare."
"Do you think I'm dead?" Ji Bingyan raised her eyes.”
"No matter what, this person is mine. You can't fight him." Chu Liuxiang said.”
"Are you afraid that I'll be killed by him?" Ji Bingyan sneered.”
Chu Liuxiang smiled and said," I'm also afraid that you'll kill him. It would be a pity if such a person died."”
"Hmph!" Ji Bingyan said.
He grabbed the bottle and took two sips. Suddenly, he asked,"Where's the egg?"
Chu Liuxiang flicked her sleeves and the egg was in her palm. It was immediately frozen like a stone by the cold wind. Chu Liuxiang said,
"The silver knife has already been inserted into the egg for more than half an inch, but only the tip of the knife has turned black. From this, it seems that the egg white is not poisonous, and the poison is only in the egg yolk.”
Ji Bingyan took a closer look at the egg and took out a small silver knife that looked like a hairpin. She cut the egg layer by layer and was surprised to find that there were small needles like roots in the yolk.
He used the tip of the blade to gently lift it, and the entire silver blade immediately turned black.
Chu Liuxiang let out a long sigh and smiled,"There is a sheep in the camel's stomach, a chicken in the sheep's stomach, an egg in the chicken's stomach, and the yolk in the egg white. He actually poisoned the yolk.”
"He poisoned this place and you even discovered it. Aren't you even more powerful than him?!" Ji Bingyan smiled.”
His expression suddenly darkened again, and he said,""This egg was personally picked up by the Qiuci King for you, right?”
"Not bad," Chu Liuxiang said.
"Other than himself, I'm afraid no one knew who he was going to give this egg to. The one who poisoned it…could it be the Qiuci King?"”
"If the Qiuci King poisoned himself, why would he use a silver knife to pick the eggs?" Chu Liuxiang said.”
He pondered for a moment and said,"If we're talking about the chances of poisoning the eggs, only the chef has more chances."”
"It's not that chef," Ji Bingyan said.”
"You've already asked?" Chu Liuxiang asked.”
"En!" Ji Bingyan said.
"How do you know he's not lying?" Chu Liuxiang asked.”
Ji Bingyan simply replied,"I know."
Chu Liuxiang didn't ask any further. He knew that since Ji Bingyan was so sure, she definitely wouldn't have any more questions. Although his answer was simple now, when he asked, it would definitely be very detailed. Moreover, he must have used some method to make people have no choice but to tell the truth. No matter how much effort some people put in, they wouldn't keep it to themselves.
Chu Liuxiang naturally understood Ji Bingyan's temper very well.
After a long while, Ji Bingyan said," To poison this egg, it is not necessarily a chef who has the chance. Anyone can take advantage of the fact that someone is not paying attention and shoot the poison needle into the egg. However, this person must be someone very close to the Qiuci King and has already calculated that he will pick the egg for you.”
He glared at Chu Liuxiang and said,"Who do you think this person is?"”
Chu Liuxiang was silent for a long time, then smiled and said,"Anyway, I can't think of it now. It's better for you to sleep for a while."”
"You…" Ji Bingyan said.
Chu Liuxiang said,"You've been on guard for the first half of the night, so it's naturally my turn for the second half."”
The second half of the night was much colder than the first half.
Chu Liuxiang also sat for a long time without moving. Ji Bingyan sitting like this wasn't considered strange, but Chu Liuxiang also sitting without moving, it was truly somewhat unexpected.
It was dark here, and the lights in the tent seemed to be very far away. No one could see him, but he could clearly see everyone.
Now, the voices in the tent had gradually quieted down. People in twos and threes supported each other as they walked out. Some of them were still singing.
The song finally quieted down, but the wind blowing in the desert turned into the most desolate and majestic song of resentment, making people feel depressed.
In the boundless sky, the stars had already set. In the boundless desert, Chu Liuxiang seemed to be the only one left.
He gradually thought of many people and many things.
Where were Su Rongrong, Li Hongxiu, and Song Tian 'er? Until now, Chu Liuxiang still hadn't received any news from them.
However, his enemies were increasing. That mysterious and terrifying Shi Guanyin, that elusive assassin whose martial arts were unfathomable, was he really going to be buried in this ruthless desert? Chu Liuxiang took a big gulp of wine and thought of Hu Tiehua. She couldn't help but smile."This kid's luck is pretty good.”
He suddenly noticed someone walking toward him. He was wearing a thick, large goose feather quilt that looked like a small tent moving.
"Who?" Chu Liuxiang asked.
The man didn't say anything, but he burst out laughing.
This person was actually Princess Pipa. The 'bride' had actually slipped out of the bridal chamber.
The last trace of smile on Chu Liuxiang's face froze as she cried out,""What are you doing here?"
Princess Pipa dragged her goose feather quilt over and giggled.""You can come here, but I can't?”
"This is not a place you should be!" Chu Liuxiang said.”
"Why?" Princess Pipa blinked.”
Chu Liuxiang said with a straight face,""If you don't return to the bridal chamber immediately, I will…"
Before he could finish, Princess Pipa's laughter interrupted him.
"You…you want me to…to the bridal chamber for what?" she giggled.”
Chu Liuxiang said loudly: " To the bridal chamber is naturally…naturally is…" He really couldn't continue the rest of the words, so he could only rub his nose forcefully.
Princess Pipa glanced at him and smiled.”
Chu Liuxiang didn't know what to do. He had never met such a girl in his life. Princess Pipa smiled and said,"If I really went to the bridal chamber, it would be strange if I wasn't beaten out by the bride!”
This time, Chu Liuxiang was really stunned. She stuttered,""Bride? You…aren't you?"
"Who said I'm the bride?" Princess Pipa laughed.”
"But, but clearly…" Chu Liuxiang said.
Princess Pipa said,"I'm not the only princess of the Qiuci Kingdom. The one who's going to marry Hu Tiehua is my sister!" Idiot…"
"Your sister…why didn't you say so earlier?" Chu Liuxiang cried out involuntarily.”
Princess Pipa's eyes lit up like stars. She bit her lips and smiled." Why did I say so earlier? I just wanted you to be angry and anxious…"
She smiled sweetly like a silver bell, and the blanket also made a " ding ding dang dang " sound. She stretched out her hand from the blanket, and it turned out that she was holding two wine bottles in her hand.
She shook the bottle and smiled." Dummy, come and take my bottle. If you keep rubbing your nose, your nose will break."”
Chu Liuxiang looked at her and said slowly,"You're really a naughty and cunning little bad guy."”
As he spoke, he stood up and stretched out his hand.
Princess Pipa giggled.”
Chu Liuxiang stared at him and said,"Guess."”
Princess Pipa smiled." I'm not afraid of you. I'm not afraid of you. I'm not…"
She seemed to want to retreat, but she didn't. Suddenly, Chu Liuxiang grabbed her hand and threw her body into Chu Liuxiang's arms.
The bright red goose feather blanket seemed to be sliding down her shoulders, revealing her smooth, satin-like skin.
The blanket slid down again, revealing her tender and soft chest.
She was naked.
She was still sliding down…
Chu Liuxiang was stunned again, and she didn't dare to move her hand.
"Idiot, are you trying to freeze me to death?" Princess Pipa asked in a trembling voice.”
She spread her hands and opened the blanket.
Chu Liuxiang only saw a perfect body, a perfect chest, a perfect waist, and perfect legs. Then, she couldn't see anything else.
His entire body was wrapped in the goose feather quilt.
Both of them fell down on the blanket he was sitting on. The bright red goose feather blanket turned into a small tent again, the smallest tent in the world.
The tent was moving, but then it stopped.
Princess Pipa's laughter rang out again."I'm not afraid of you, but you're afraid of me?”
Chu Liuxiang sighed and said,""You're really a bad guy."
"Have you ever seen such a beautiful little rascal like me in this world?" Princess Pipa asked.”
Chu Liuxiang sighed again and said,"No."”
Princess Pipa giggled." I've never seen a lovelier fool than you in this world…Fool…Fool…"
Her voice became softer and softer until it was finally out of earshot.
After a while, an empty bottle was thrown out.
Then, he threw out another bottle, but there was still half a bottle left.
After a while, a slender and exquisite foot that seemed to be carved out of white jade stretched out from the quilt while trembling, but it quickly retracted.
Were they very cold? Why were they trembling?
The sun finally rose.
The newborn sunlight was as gentle as a baby's breath. There was a sound from the quilt again.
Chu Liuxiang said,"The sky seems to have brightened."”
Princess Pipa said," No, no…It doesn't matter even if it's dawn. Everyone here drank until they were lying down last night. How can they get up now?"”
Her voice sounded like she was moaning.
Chu Liuxiang didn't say anything, as if she didn't object to her staying.
"Do you know why I'm treating you like this?" Princess Pipa suddenly asked.”
Chu Liuxiang smiled and said," Although I'm not a narcissistic man, I really can't figure out why a girl would do this. Other than liking that man, what other reason could there be?"”
" Of course I like you," Princess Pipa said faintly." But if there's no other reason, I wouldn't…wouldn't be like this."”
"What else do you want?" Chu Liuxiang asked.”
Princess Pipa was silent for a while before she slowly said,""Because I can't marry you."
"Oh?" Chu Liuxiang asked.
Princess Pipa said,"Not only can I not marry you, but in the future…I'm afraid we won't have many chances to meet in the future."”
"Oh…" Chu Liuxiang said.
Princess Pipa suddenly shouted,""Oh, oh, oh…Don't tell me you only know how to say 'oh'? Don't tell me you don't have anything else to say?”
"What do you want me to say?" Chu Liuxiang asked.”
"You…you…you should at least ask me why I can't marry you," Princess Pipa said.”
"I'm asking you, will you tell me?" Chu Liuxiang asked.”
Princess Pipa seemed to be stunned for a long time before she sighed and said,""I can't say."
"I knew you couldn't tell me, so I didn't ask."”
Princess Pipa said," You…Don't you feel uncomfortable at all? Even if you don't feel uncomfortable, you should at least say something."”
Chu Liuxiang smiled and interrupted,"I told you before, I won't lie."”
"You…you scoundrel, you really don't feel uncomfortable?" Princess Pipa said in a trembling voice.”
Chu Liuxiang also sighed and said,"To be honest, even if you must marry me, whether I will marry you is still a problem!"”
Suddenly, a round of applause sounded.
A person jumped out of the quilt. It seemed to be Chu Liuxiang…Eh! How could Chu Liuxiang have such long hair? Could this be Princess Pipa? Why would Princess Pipa wear Chu Liuxiang's clothes?
She ran out as fast as she could and kept cursing,"You bastard, you scoundrel, you…you old bug, even if all the men in the world die, I won't marry you…"
It was quiet all around. As expected, no one had gotten up yet.
Chu Liuxiang had a bright red goose feather quilt on her body. She sneaked back to her tent like a thief. Fortunately, Ji Bingyan was still sleeping soundly.
He was curled up in the quilt from head to toe, and even breathing seemed to be very difficult. Chu Liuxiang found clothes and put them on, but he was still sleeping like a dead person, not moving at all.
Chu Liuxiang suddenly smiled and said," I know you've been awake for a long time. You don't have to pretend to be asleep. Anyway, I'm not going to hide what I did from you. Anyway, it's not something shameful."”
Ji Bingyan covered her head and did not make a sound.
"A very normal man and a very normal woman, on a cold and lonely night…" Chu Liuxiang smiled bitterly.
Tell me, what's wrong with that?"
He didn't know if he was explaining to others or himself.
Ji Bingyan still ignored him.
Chu Liuxiang buttoned up her shirt and sighed again."After all the calculations, it's hard on Little Hu again this time…This is simply like a marriage scam. That bride actually didn't dare to show her face from the beginning to the end. It would be strange if she wasn't ugly.”
Suddenly, a person walked in. It was Hu Tiehua.
Chu Liuxiang originally thought that even if he wasn't angry to death, his face would be ashen. Who knew that Hu Tiehua was actually beaming with joy. Not only was he not angry, but he was also very happy.
Chu Liuxiang was stunned.
Hu Tiehua sat down opposite him and looked at him with a smile, as if he had just picked up a big ingot on the ground.
