The Alluring Phoenix Dance of the World
"Have you found out where she is?" The man stood in front of the desk, and a woman in red was kneeling below him. Her head was buried low. The man looked at the portrait on the table, and his eyes became passionate. Even the woman below had noticed the change in her master. It seemed that her master had fallen in love with the woman in the portrait.
"Capital City of Lanqi Country. She's heading in the direction of Lanyue.”The woman reported truthfully, not daring to hide anything.
"Pack up and go to Lanyue." The man finally moved his eyes away from the portrait and looked at the kneeling woman in red.
"Yes." The woman in red left the room, jumped onto the roof, and disappeared from the courtyard.
After the woman in red left, the man revealed a rare smile. The corners of his mouth were just right, making his handsome face look beautiful.
"Cousin!" In the distance, a little girl about fifteen or sixteen years old hopped towards the study.
She wore a light-colored long gauze skirt and a rose-red brocade jacket with snow-white rabbit fur sewn at the corners. An orange-red belt was wrapped around her waist with a piece of top-quality Hetian jade inlaid in the middle. On the left side of the belt was a high-quality glazed jade pendant hanging on her waist. Her long, brocade-like hair was tied into a crescent hairpin with a red jade coral hairpin. Under the hair basket was a row of glazed curtains, making her look even more charming and graceful. Her elegant jade face was painted with light plum blossom makeup. If she was originally like a fairy with an outstanding charm that could topple a country, but now she was like a fairy who had accidentally fallen into the mortal world and was stained with a trace of mortal fate, the man would suddenly lose his soul. However, the most unforgettable thing was that pair of bright starlight eyes.
The man put away the portrait on the table and tidied his clothes before opening the door and leaving. This study was a forbidden area of the Di residence. No one was allowed to enter without his permission.
"What is it?" The man's strong and powerful facial features and slightly furrowed brows. That deep voice that tugged at one's heartstrings looked sternly at the person in front of him.
"I heard from my aunt that you're back, so I came to see you.”The woman winked playfully. She wanted to act coquettishly to her cousin, but when she saw his cold face, she held back in the end.
"You can go back now." The man flung his sleeves and walked past his cousin as he walked out of the courtyard. From the beginning, he had never liked his cousin. And his mother wanted him to marry a woman he didn't love. It was simply impossible. He would never compromise. She wanted him to marry her because she wanted his cousin to keep an eye on him. Why would he need to plant a spy by his side?
"Cousin, where are you going?" The girl caught up with the man and asked.
"It's none of your business." The man strode away with his sleeves.
The young girl was stunned on the spot, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes. Suddenly, another man appeared behind her and saw the hatred in her eyes.
"Miss." The man called out to the girl softly.
"Liu Yun, help me keep an eye on Cousin and see what he's going to do.”The girl's face was no longer as innocent as before. It was so gloomy that it distorted her beautiful face.
When Mo Shangqiu and Mu Chuxue arrived at Lanyue, it was already late and they found an inn to rest. Their rooms were right next to each other, so they could take care of each other if anything happened. Mo Shangqiu had just climbed onto the bed when a heavenly voice rang out from outside the door.
Sister Mo, are you asleep?" Mu Chuxue stood outside the door with a frown.
"What's the matter?" Mo Shangqiu sat on the bed and held her forehead with both hands, looking helpless. Saving people was indeed troublesome. It seemed that she shouldn't easily save strangers in the future. Why did Mu Chuxue come to find her in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?
"Can I come in?" Mu Chuxue struggled in her room for a long time before she mustered up the courage to look for Mo Shangqiu.
Mo Shangqiu got off the bed and opened the door, looking at Mu Chuxue in confusion. When Mu Chuxue saw Mo Shangqiu open the door and rush into the room, it was as if she was afraid that Mo Shangqiu wouldn't let her in. Mu Chuxue jumped onto the bed.
Mo Shangqiu was stunned for a moment before she asked," What are you doing?”
Mu Chuxue squinted at Mo Shangqiu. "Can I sleep with you? I'm afraid of the dark."
Mo Shangqiu felt like dying. She really had met a bad person. Mo Shangqiu lay back on the bed silently and extinguished the lights in the room with a wave of her hand.
After sleeping for a while, Mo Shangqiu seemed to recall something and turned to look at Mu Chuxue, whose eyes were tightly shut. "I don't like people touching my hand.”
Mu Chuxue's body stiffened when she heard that. She was still very nervous when she was lying next to Mo Shangqiu. Mu Chuxue hummed softly, not daring to open her eyes to look at Mo Shangqiu. She could feel that Mo Shangqiu was currently looking at her.
Mu Chuxue had been worried at night and had not been able to sleep well. Even though he had not followed Mo Shangqiu for a long time, he was still very clear about Mo Shangqiu's character. Perhaps it was because she was too tired, Mu Chuxue turned over and fell asleep.
Mo Shangqiu felt uncomfortable sleeping on the bed, causing her to have a sleepless night. The next day, she woke up early and went out to get some fresh air. Mu Chuxue was woken up by the noise downstairs. When she woke up, Mo Shangqiu was nowhere to be seen. Startled, she hurriedly got up and opened the door to look for Mo Shangqiu. The moment she opened the door, she saw a tired Mo Shangqiu.
Sister Mo, where did you go?" Mu Chuxue looked at her and felt her heart ache. What had happened to make her so tired?
"It's windy outside. I'll take a nap first. You wash up and go eat.”Mo Shangqiu fell onto the bed, burying her head in the pillow and letting out a muffled sound.
"Oh." Mu Chuxue didn't want to disturb her, so she naturally agreed to her suggestion. However, she felt a little guilty. It was probably because of her that she didn't sleep the entire night.
Mu Chuxue went out shopping after dinner. Mu Chuxue went to the jewelry store. He wanted to buy something for Mo Shangqiu.
Mu Chuxue entered the biggest jewelry store in town and was dazzled by the jewelry. Mu Chuxue strolled around slowly, carefully choosing. When they arrived at the cabinet filled with crystals, they couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. It was too beautiful. There were so many crystal accessories.
"Boss, let me see this.”Mu Chuxue excitedly called him boss twice.
"The one you mentioned." The boss was a man in his twenties with an ordinary appearance. However, his eyes were very shrewd.
"This." Mu Chuxue pointed at a black crystal.
"Here you are, miss. This is a pure black crystal ginseng silver hairpin." The boss took out the hairpin and handed it over with both hands.
Mu Chuxue held it in her hand and looked at it carefully. Her eyes became infatuated. "It looks very beautiful and suits Sister Mo very well.”Mu Chuxue laughed like a bell.
"Young Lady's hairpin is fifty taels, Young Lady still wants to see other accessories.”The boss narrowed his eyes.
Only then did Mu Chuxue carefully examine the other accessories. Suddenly, her eyes lit up as she pointed at a crystal pendant. It was a pure black crystal pendant that matched Mo Shangqiu's hairpin very well.
"Young Lady also wants this, a total of ninety taels.”The boss counted on the abacus and looked at Mu Chuxue without any ripples in his eyes. It was as if he felt that ninety taels of silver was like one tael of silver.
Mu Chuxue took out a hundred taels of silver from her pocket and gave it to the boss. The boss found some broken silver for Mu Chuxue. Mu Chuxue put the money into her purse and ran happily to the inn. Just as she left the door, a man followed her. He carefully followed Mu Chuxue.
Mu Chuxue pushed open the door and was so excited that she even forgot to knock. This sound caused Mo Shangqiu to sit up in fright. She looked at Mu Chuxue with a gloomy expression.
Only then did Mu Chuxue realize what she had just done and gulped. He stammered," Remember to knock next time."”
"What's wrong?" Mo Shangqiu asked lazily. She stretched lazily before getting out of bed to pour herself a glass of water.
Sister Mo, this is for you." Mu Chuxue carefully took out the hairpin from her bosom, afraid that she would accidentally break it.
When Mo Shangqiu saw the crystal hairpin in her hand, her expression became much better. This hairpin was not much worse than the silver hairpin on her head. It was also very exquisite.
"Thank you." Mo Shangqiu finally smiled.
"Then I'll do it for you." Mu Chuxue smiled brightly as she faced Mo Shangqiu without any schemes.
A man outside the door saw everything and smiled wickedly. Then, he disappeared outside the door.
