The gray sky pressed down heavily, making it difficult for people to breathe. The thick clouds seemed to fall at any moment. The gentle sun hid behind the clouds, weakly sending light to the earth. The cold wind swept through the air, and the pedestrians on the street hurriedly tightened their clothes to prevent the cold wind from blowing away the warmth on their bodies.
The bustling Shengyang City seemed to have become much colder due to the cold weather. The hawkers who had set out early to do business had already been prepared for a long time. There were not many pedestrians passing by, but most of the stalls had not opened yet. The only ones with better business were probably the stalls selling hot steamed buns. It was freezing cold, and some commoners who were not from good families wore thin winter clothes and stood in the cold wind. It was a stark contrast to the hawkers who were sweating because of their busy business.
Another gust of cold wind swept past. The wind felt as if it had been cut by an ice blade. Then, it seemed that the heavens could not suppress it anymore. The snow that was as thick as goose feathers fell. After a while, the situation became more intense. The dense snowflakes formed countless white lines, blocking everyone's vision.
In the study room of King Jing's Imperial Residence, the fiery red charcoal fire made the room as warm as spring. It was a stark difference from the cold weather outside. Gu Moxi sat at the desk and checked the account book of the Imperial Residence. He was wearing a fine brocade winter coat, which was still as white as snow as he liked. The collar and chest were embroidered with exquisite feathers.
It was unknown whether he was not afraid of the cold or because the study room was warm, but Gu Moxi wore very little. The three thin pieces of clothing made Lan Xi look at him frequently. She was also wearing a black winter coat made of high-quality brocade, which was specially instructed by Gu Moxi. Before this, she refused to do so, but Gu Moxi had no choice. Who knew that when she woke up, she was already wearing it, and the damn buttons were very difficult to solve. If it wasn't because she didn't want to turn into a human, she wouldn't have wronged herself.
The days passed like flowing water. Lan Xi ate and slept every day, and went to the garden to cultivate at midnight. In the blink of an eye, it was already winter. The envoys of the two countries set off for home the day after the Mid-Autumn Festival. This seemingly peaceful but secretly turbulent diplomatic mission gradually faded from the people's mouths. However, Lan Xi did not pay much attention to how turbulent it was. In short, Gu Moxi was especially busy for a period of time.
Winter, when all living things were asleep, became Lan Xi's favorite time. This season was always pure white. If it was dyed red with blood, it would be even more beautiful. This saying was a little cruel, but it was undeniable that she was used to seeing it in the Demon Realm and killing. Now that she had been in this world for three months, she seemed to have not seen how the five living souls were doing.
From the corner of her eye, she looked at the man who was focused on her head. In the past three months, his love for her had reached the point where it was infuriating. When he was awake and she was asleep, he would hug her while she lay down, feed her while she ate, play with her while he accompanied her. He would take the initiative to give her what she liked, and he would order her to get rid of what she didn't like. However, there were no more intimate actions except for that kiss on her forehead.
Lan Xi was a little confused. She could clearly feel that he treated her differently, but she gradually got used to it. Occasionally, she would suddenly think of that kiss, but now she felt that he was far away again. This feeling of being close and far away confused her. For some reason, she felt a wave of disappointment in her heart, but she did not notice it.
Seemingly noticing that the black cat was looking at him, Gu Mo Xi, who was checking the account book, suddenly lowered her head and caught the end of the black cat's gaze on her lap. Her sexy thin lips curled up deeply and her warm palm landed on the black cat's back to gently stroke it. Her seductive phoenix eyes flashed with an imperceptible disappointment, but she didn't know who it was for.
Lan Xi stepped on her thigh with her chubby claws. She suddenly decided to abandon the confusion in her heart. She looked out of the window with her deep, sea-like cat eyes. The falling snow filled her vision. Winter was coming, and it was not far from the end of the year. Her mind once again surfaced with her clansmen in another time and space. Usually, everyone would spend the new year happily. She wondered how they would be like without her for the first time. He suddenly made a decision to leave.
In fact, the Spiritual Qi in the Imperial Residence of King Jing had almost been sucked dry by Lan Xi. She had to go somewhere else to cultivate, but she would stay here for a while before that. At least, she had to wait until her influence spread throughout the three kingdoms and investigate the situation in the Demon Realm. She believed that she could do whatever she wanted here, but she should not be so arrogant in the Demon Realm. Moreover, the Spiritual Qi here could not compare to the Demon Realm. She was a Demon, so she had to go there eventually.
With that in mind, she added a deadline to her decision and left tonight. Lan Xi had never seen how humans celebrated the New Year, but such a memorable day had to be spent with their own kind. The five living souls she brought back from the Prison Realm became the best choice. She could learn about the mission.
So after dinner, Gu Moxi had just stepped out of the door of Yiran Restaurant when the bed in the inner room flashed with a dazzling red light, which was particularly bright in the early darkness of the night. The secret guards guarding outside immediately caught up with Gu Moxi who had not gone far.
" Your Highness, the room suddenly emitted a red light, is it-" Before the secret guard could finish his words, he felt a gust of wind in front of him. Gu Moxi had already turned around and entered the room. That extremely fast speed made the secret guard's forehead full of black lines, thinking that the black cat was indeed favored.
When Gu Mo Xi returned to the inner room, the red light had already disappeared. He stood stiffly in front of the bed, his charming phoenix eyes staring straight at the woman in front of him. His eyes couldn't help but be amazed. His black hair was tied into a ponytail, his bangs were floating, his eyebrows were dark, his nose was small, and his cherry-like pink lips were slightly pursed, making people want to kiss him. There was a friendly but distant smile on his lips, and his palm-sized face was inlaid with a pair of deep black pearl-like cat eyes.
Her slender body leaned against the bed, her exquisite curves seductive. The strange service made her look especially seductive. Most of her exposed skin was like jade, and the fullness of her chest moved with her breathing. Her white wrist and waist were shining with an unknown brilliance, especially her exposed fair thighs. They fell on her feet along the lines, but the strange shoes could not block her small and exquisite feet.
Gu Mo Xi's breath tightened at the sight of those exquisite jade toes. Her face turned red and her nose itched. She quickly pinched them in shock and recovered from her infatuation. She immediately took off the cloak from the hanger and covered the woman's body, her mind once again in a trance.
The woman had a nice fragrance. As he had covered her with the cloak too much, Gu Mo Xi was now pressing on the woman. They were very close and could feel each other's breath. The woman in his arms was too soft, as if he would break her if he used a little force. He was driven by his mind and his warm right hand gradually touched the woman's cheek. Feeling the delicate skin under his hand, he smiled and called out softly as if he was calling his lover," Xi 'er, you're so beautiful."”
Lan Xi pulled back her divine sense and was surprised that Gu Mo Xi, who was obsessed with her, could recognize her. Her eyes showed doubt and she asked," How did you know it was me?"”
Gu Moxi lost his focus once again when the woman spoke. Her voice was like a silver bell and a yellow oriole, which was more crisp and pleasant than when she was with the black cat. The woman had a voice that made people jealous. The absent-mindedness was short-lived, and he only recovered a little bit in an instant. The words he said were a little hoarse, and coupled with the magnetic mellow, it made Lan Xixin's head itch." I know, I just know. No matter when, no matter what you become, I can see it at a glance."”
Lan Xi ignored his words. She pushed the man who was still on top of her with her hand under the cloak. Gu Moxi stood up with some reluctance but did not get up from the bed. Her eyes were still locked on the beautiful woman in front of her.
Once the pressure on her body was lifted, Lan Xi was about to get off the bed and stand up. Her cloak was thrown onto the bed, but she was pulled back just as she was about to take her first step. Then, her shoulders sank and the cloak was draped over her again. She turned around and looked at the man with displeasure.
Gu Moxi's face was flushed red. Her eyes flickered and she did not dare to look at Lan Xi. She said," Xi 'er, your clothes are too revealing. I'll ask the servant girl to get something else first. Also, although the room is warm enough, you can't wear so thin."”
Lan Xi looked Gu Moxi up and down before saying," You know I'm a demon. This temperature is nothing. And you don't have to prepare anything for me."”After saying that, he pulled out his right hand and walked towards the door. Although he said that, he did not take off his cloak.
"Xi 'er, where are you going? The garden?”Seeing that Lan Xi did not take off her cloak and walked out, Gu Moxi naturally followed behind and did not forget to ask, but he never expected to hear a reply that made him afraid.
" There's nothing useful for me here. Thank you for taking care of me during this period of time. I-" Before she could finish speaking, Lan Xi's foot that had just stepped out of the door was pulled back by a force from behind. Her body was also locked in a familiar embrace.
"No, don't think about leaving. Xi 'er, don't leave.”Half domineering and half pleading, the man forcefully restrained the woman in his arms. His strong body could not help but tremble because of fear. The strength in his hands increased uncontrollably, as if she would not leave.
Gu Moxi was so smart that Lan Xi understood what she meant with just the first sentence and refused to let her go. Lan Xi could only express her speechlessness. How could he stop her from leaving? He must have been very clear in his heart, but he still did so. For some reason, she said," I will live there in the West Lan Mansion."”
"Why? Is there anything bad about the Imperial Residence? Xi 'er, can you stay? If you need anything, I'll get someone to find it.”Gu Mo Xi's heart ached and the light in her phoenix eyes dimmed, but she still made a final request to stay.
This time, Lan Xi was silent. A complicated look appeared in her eyes. In the end, she pushed Gu Moxi away. She saw his dark expression and slightly furrowed brows. His pink lips were slightly pursed. The smile that hung on his lips all year round disappeared. It seemed like he was sighing and warning her. His soft words made Gu Moxi's body tremble and she could no longer make him stay.
Humans and demons had different paths. Yes, when humans died, demons were still alive. When demons became immortals, humans had already reincarnated for several generations. For demons, falling in love was crueler than passing the lightning tribulation.
The cloak fell in front of Gu Mo Xi's feet. The beauty was not there, so he stood there straight. His phoenix eyes flashed with the light of not giving up. His thin lips lightly spat out four words-West Lan Mansion.
At this moment, two women were standing behind a woman in a rich garden. Three figures were indistinct in the darkness.
