The soft rays of the morning sun shone through the cracks in the window and gently hit the white bed curtains. The beautiful woman in the curtains curled up under the brocade quilt. Her pink lips were smiling faintly, her dark eyebrows were like the moon, and her small nose trembled with her breathing. She closed her bottomless cat eyes, and her long eyelashes that were like butterfly wings cast a shadow. Her skin was fair and red, making people unable to help but want to take a bite. Her silk-like long hair was scattered behind her head, reflecting the snow-white bedsheets, giving off a hint of temptation.
The day was planned in the morning. However, Lan Xi, who was used to sleeping during the day and coming out at night, was now sleeping. The courtyard she was in was very quiet. Mei Sheng and Yuanyuan were guarding the courtyard. One was embroidering while the other was feeding the rabbit. This scene looked very warm and happy. The servants in the residence would not approach the courtyard for nothing. If there was something, they would stop in front of the courtyard door.
Yuan Yuan seemed to have recalled something funny. She looked at the rabbit biting the carrot and laughed softly. Her voice was very soft. She tried her best to suppress her laughter and looked back at the tightly shut door. It seemed that she did not want to wake the woman in the room. After a while, she finally suppressed the vibration in her chest and looked at Mei Sheng with a smile.
There was a slight reproach in her eyes, but more of it was helplessness and indulgence. Mei Sheng shook her head lightly and focused on the embroidery in her hand again. She saw a silk handkerchief wrapped tightly in bamboo, and a lifelike plum blossom vaguely formed between the needle thread, attracting Yuanyuan's curious inquiry.
"Mei Sheng, what are you embroidering?"
Mei Sheng replied softly as she embroidered. The needle and thread passed through her hands agilely." If you have nothing to do, embroider a handkerchief for Miss. When I'm done with the plum blossoms, I'll embroider the word Xi here."”As she spoke, her slender index finger pointed at an empty space." By the way, what were you laughing at just now?”
"Isn't it just thinking about what happened last night? I think Tao Yao is quite angry, hehe ~" After she finished speaking, she laughed again, but her eyes were fixed on the embroidery in Mei Sheng's hands, secretly thinking if she should also give something to Miss.
Mei Sheng rolled her eyes at Yuanyuan in annoyance. Seeing that she was lost in thought again, she did not say anything else.
Last night, Tao Yao couldn't hold back her anger. Before Gu Moxi could react, she quickly separated him from Lan Xi and stood between the two of them. Her black hair fluttered in the wind and her hands were ready to move. Her long and sharp nails seemed to tear Gu Moxi apart in the next second. She gritted her teeth and her peach eyes shot out sharp blades. The cold air around her quickly froze in the three of them.
The man who had turned from a peach blossom spirit to a demon, Gu Moxi did not look timid. Instead of stepping back, she took a small step forward. The tenderness she had for Lan Xi turned into a distant and cold one when she faced Tao Yao. Her phoenix eyes were calm, as if she was not surprised by the unusual scene in front of her. She was obviously at a disadvantage but did not feel nervous.
"Gu Mo Xi, is Master someone you can touch? Get out!" The voice seemed to have come from the dark hell, and it carried a shocking power that was engraved into the bottom of his heart. At this moment, Tao Yao had already turned into a ghost, and his anger was surging. If he did not remember the principles of the Ghost Dao, he would have torn the other party apart. A weak human actually dared to be rude to his master and even have infatuation in his heart. How ridiculous!!!
Gu Moxi didn't care about Tao Yao's anger at all. He was originally cold and his only passion was now completely given to Lan Xi. Only she could ignite it. Although he didn't show it on his face, only he knew the shock, surprise, fear and other fluctuations in his heart. His eyes seemed to want to see Lan Xi behind Tao Yao.
Before he met Lan Xi, he had never thought that there would be monsters in this world. When the black cat appeared three months ago, when the black cat spoke that night, and when the black cat left with the divine dragon, Gu Moxi was shocked to realize that monsters were not just a fantasy described in books. They might really exist in places that people did not know about. Just because they had not seen them did not mean that they did not exist. Then, could there be other monsters and monsters?
He did not know when and how the black cat had entered his heart. Perhaps this was the so-called fate, but ever since he knew that it was a demon and could turn into a human, he had already decided to occupy it. Even he was surprised by this feeling, and when he saw her, he could no longer waver. His feelings were so deep that he could not help it.
The confrontation between Tao Yao and Gu Moxi ended when Mei Sheng and Yuanyuan arrived. They were a little surprised when they saw Tao Yao but did not ask anything. They only said that dinner was ready. Lan Xi then got up and put her hand on Tao Yao's shoulder. Tao Yao, who was full of Yin Qi, immediately turned back into a peach blossom spirit. She glared at Gu Moxi and pulled Lan Xi to the dining room. However, when she heard Lan Xi asking Gu Moxi to eat dinner, she stopped in her tracks and her face turned cold. Naturally, she did not feel comfortable eating.
It had been snowing non-stop for the past two days. Today, it was rare for the clouds to disperse. The warm sunlight sprinkled on the courtyard and it was very comfortable. Mei Sheng and Yuanyuan hid under the shade of the tree. Although they had obtained Lan Xi's help to transform into human form, they were still souls that were afraid of light and fire. Now that they could live in the light like humans, they were still not afraid of heat. Especially when the sun was the strongest, even if it was not as fierce as summer, they still had to be careful. Two silk umbrellas were erected beside the tree trunk in case of need.
The needle guided the thread through the silk handkerchief, and the word 'Xi' was completed. After tying the knot and cutting off the excess thread, Mei Sheng removed the bamboo hoop and admired the completed embroidery. She sighed in her heart that the embroidery was not as good as when she was alive, but she heard Yuanyuan exclaim in praise," Mei Sheng, your embroidery is so good. Miss will definitely like it."”
"Is that so? Miss will like it?" Mei Sheng was also delighted. Which one of the five ghosts was not grateful to Lan Xi? She had given them everything they wanted so that they could make up for the regrets or unwillingness they had when they were alive. She was their master and their benefactor. Naturally, she would repay her wholeheartedly. From then on, they would be together for good or bad.
Which of the five of them didn't have a noble status when they were alive? They lived in a complicated environment. Some of them were framed, some were assassinated, and some died with grievances. In order to take revenge and rest in peace, they would do anything. Of course, loyalty to their master was the first, cultivating the ability to take revenge was the second, and finding their enemies was the third. Moreover, on the day they came to the human world, their master had said that if they had any concerns in the human world, they could go and settle them, provided that they didn't cause her trouble.
As he was thinking, he saw a servant girl standing at the courtyard's gate. Mei Sheng stuffed a handkerchief into his clothes and walked over with an umbrella. The servant girl reported expressionlessly," King Jing barged in with a backpack and a sword. It seems like he wants to stay. Our people have already gone to deal with it. Should we tell Master and ask her to make a decision?"”
The servant girl did not say everything, but Mei Sheng had already thought that King Jing was a member of the imperial court. If he was injured or lost his life in the manor, Miss would definitely be in trouble. Although they could move out of this place, it was not easy to have a decent home. Besides, King Jing had raised Miss for three months. It seemed that it was better to tell Miss about this matter.
Thinking of this, the Charming Demon ordered," Tell them to be careful. I'll inform the Young Lady now."”After saying that, she turned around and entered the room. The servant girl who came to deliver the news went to the front courtyard to pass on the message.
Yuanyuan saw Mei Sheng enter the room and ran in as well. She walked around the screen and saw Mei Sheng trying to wake Lan Xi up. She was a little afraid. She did not know if Miss would be angry when she woke up.
Lan Xi felt as if she had just fallen asleep when she was woken up. Although she knew that Mei Sheng would not be so rude to disturb her for no reason, it was inevitable that she would be angry when she was woken up. She turned over and her eyelashes fluttered, but she still did not open her eyes. She only asked sleepily," What's the matter?"”
His voice was heavy with sleepiness, but Mei Sheng could still hear a trace of displeasure. He quickly reported the matter and then carefully looked at the situation in the bed. After a while, he heard Lan Xi's order from inside," Hot water."”
Hearing this, Lan Xi had decided to get up. Yuanyuan immediately ran out of the room to get hot water. Her fair arms opened the bed curtains. Lan Xi sat up drowsily and stepped on the soles of her feet. Her snow-white skin shocked Mei Sheng's vision. She lowered her body and helped her put on her shoes. Her small feet were exquisite and perfect. Her cheeks could not help but blush. She was shouting in her heart that she was making people commit crimes.
When Yuanyuan came back with the hot water, Mei Sheng was combing Lan Xi's hair, who was sitting in front of the dressing table. One could vaguely see the faint pink color on her cheeks. Yuanyuan gave a puzzled look when she handed over the hot towel.
In the front courtyard, King Jing Gu Moxi had changed into a set of white clothes. He was carrying a bag and standing with a long sword in his hand. There was a distant and gentle smile on his lips. His phoenix eyes were sharp as he looked at the men surrounding him. They held their swords and faced each other. Each of them emitted a strong murderous and bloody aura. They were indeed not ordinary servants. This kind of aura was probably only possessed by killers. Moreover, in the previous exchange, their attacks were simple and unadorned. They were all aimed at his lifeline. It was even more certain that they were killers.
Gu Mo Xi once again looked around. Since the servant girl had returned, they had stopped to confront him. Someone must have come. Perhaps it was the three men and two women from yesterday, or perhaps…it was her! He waited anxiously, the hand holding the sword unconsciously tightening, and a layer of sweat appeared on his palm.
In the cold atmosphere, Lan Xi arrived late with Mei Sheng and Yuan Yuan. The woman in front was obviously not awake. When she got close to Gu Moxi, she suddenly kicked his calf. Her pink lips pouted like a dissatisfied child. She waved her hand to dismiss the servant. As if she was not satisfied, she stepped on his foot and turned to leave.
Mei Sheng and Yuan Yuan looked at Gu Moxi sympathetically and followed behind Lan Xi with a smirk. Gu Moxi was the only one left in the huge front yard, hugging one leg and jumping around.
What was the meaning of this? Gu Moxi finally landed on the ground and looked at the courtyard where only she was confused. After a while, she suddenly smiled and picked up the sword on the ground and ran in the direction where Lan Xi had left.
At dinner time, Tao Yao's face turned sour when she saw Gu Moxi at the dining table. When she heard that he had chosen a courtyard to stay in, she almost jumped up and challenged him to a duel. She glared at Gu Moxi, who had boundless glory. If her gaze could materialize, he would have turned into a porcupine. Hmph, just wait, he wouldn't let him off. As for Gu Mo Xi, she ignored the other party's intense gaze and served dishes for Lan Xi, just like when she was in the Prince's mansion.
It was late at night. Unless necessary, everyone went to bed early. Xi Garden was Lan Xi's residence. At this time, she was lying on the chaise longue reading a book. From time to time, she looked up at Gu Moxi who was sitting at the table dealing with official documents, secretly thinking that he really didn't know what politeness was.
Suddenly, the night wind blew open the closed window and messed up the documents on the table. Gu Moxi got up and closed the window against the strong wind. She saw Lan Xi get down from the chaise lounge and asked," What's wrong?"”
Lan Xi didn't answer but went out of the room. She closed the door before Gu Moxi came out and walked into the courtyard with a wave of her hand. She didn't care about the man who was knocking on the door and looked at the black fog not far away.
"What is it?" The black mist was the " he " that Lan Xi had summoned when she first arrived in the other world.
A piece of paper flew out from the black fog. Lan Xi heard " his " request." Lord Ghost, please."”After saying that, the wind stopped and the fog dispersed. The night returned to peace.
