C31 Sleepless Night

When Murong Chen came out of the restaurant, he really wanted to slap himself. He clearly wanted to get close to Baili Ange, but he had somehow offended her and even embarrassed himself in front of her, thinking that he wouldn't be able to regain the dignity and poise of a direct son of the Murong Family.

After the incident, Baili Ange ordered the waiter to serve some signature dishes. Based on the original owner's memory, she often visited this restaurant, and the braised lion head here was indeed very delicious.

After tasting the lion heads in the private room, the group of people went to the street to watch some acrobatics. This was Baili Ange's first time shopping since the ancient era, so he was naturally excited and experienced all kinds of strange things.

She and Qing Er were so happy when they went shopping. Qing Qi and Xiaoliu had to suffer so much. They never knew their eldest daughter could buy things like this.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Baili Ange and the others returned to Baili’s Mansion. The kitchen had already prepared dinner, and although Baili Ange had lived in Baili’s Mansion for a while, she still wasn't used to sleeping under the setting sun. She could only play with the little rabbit Qing Er brought.

Qing Er looked at Baili Ange and played with him for a while. However, the child couldn't bear the running and jumping around in the daytime and was soon tired. Baili Chenyang had already arranged the guest room, so Wen Qi took Qing Er to sleep.

The people of Anyang City had all fallen asleep, the chickens, dogs and beasts had also entered into a state of slumber. The ancients could not go out at night, so the streets were very quiet.

It was the night of the full moon, and the moonlight enveloped the entire luxurious mansion. Other than a few servants who were standing guard at night, logically speaking, everyone in Baili’s Mansion should have already entered the land of dreams.

However, there were always one or two people who were preoccupied with their own matters, tossing and turning, unable to sleep at night.

The door creaked open softly. In the yard of "Guayuan Courtyard", a man's tall figure was pulled even more slender by the moonlight. He leaned against a stone bench and just stood there, staring blankly into the night sky.

Looking at the bright moon hanging in the night sky, the man was filled with worry. He thought back to what the mountain people had said, that the man who sent him up the mountain had mentioned that the blood colored Butterfly Pendant would be abnormal on the full moon night. The reason he had hurried over with Qing Er's gratitude in his heart was mainly because he wanted to look for the jade pendant on the full moon night.

When there was still one more moment, the man guessed that those with Baili’s Mansion should have already gone to sleep. He quietly observed his surroundings in order to discover something abnormal.

He then relied on his superior Qing Gong to stand on the roof of the "Guajia Garden". This house was a two-story building that overlooked the entire Baili’s Mansion.

Everything was so quiet that even the bird flying above his head, he could feel it. Although he did not have the confidence to find the jade pendant tonight, it would be good if he could confirm that it was in Baili’s Mansion. He carefully observed the Baili’s Mansion, even sweeping a glance through the corners.

Suddenly, a red ray of light flashed from a window fifty meters away. If it wasn't for the man's extraordinary eyesight, he really wouldn't have been able to see it.

The man held his breath and observed for a while. Then, that light source flashed and appeared again. If he remembered correctly, that house was Baili Ange's residence. He was saved by Baili Ange when he hid there last time.

The man slowly approached the house.

Baili Ange was not used to going to bed early. Plus, with the arrival of Wen Qi and Qing Er, he could not calm down for a long time. She laid on the bed with her eyes wide open, staring at the bed in a daze.

After extinguishing the lights in the room, he did not accompany the girl at night. Qing Qi and Liu Tie were also sent to bed early by him. Tonight, everyone was drinking happily, so Baili Ange remembered a lot of things in the modern world.

She thought about many things that had happened in the past, and a tear appeared in the corner of her eye. While she was looking for a handkerchief to wipe away her tears, she suddenly felt a bright light flash past her body.

This jade pendant belonged to the original owner. When Baili Ange first saw it, other than feeling that the color and shape of the jade pendant was a little strange, he did not think too much about it. However, he did not expect that it would emit light, and of course, he did not know that the jade pendant would only emit light at midnight on the full moon.

The faint flickering light looked really good. Baili Ange temporarily forgot his homesickness as he held the jade pendant and looked at it carefully.

Suddenly, Baili Ange heard the sound of tiles shaking on the roof. If he wasn't awake, he definitely wouldn't have noticed it.

Baili Ange, who was very alert, immediately got up from the bed and couldn't sit still. No matter how hard he tried to protect himself, she would turn the blanket into the shape of a person. She wanted to see what kind of show it would be later.

Just when he wanted to hide behind the curtain to observe, Baili Ange noticed that the Butterfly Pendant was still shining, so wouldn't he be easily discovered by others? She tried to hide the jade pendant in her pajamas, but she could still see the light.

As soon as Baili Ange hid behind the curtain, he heard the sound of the door latch being opened. Under the moonlight, Baili Ange saw a black figure tiptoeing into his room. It was a man.

[Who dares to barge into Miss Baili's room?]

Baili Ange held his breath as he quietly observed. He saw that person walking towards his bed. It couldn't be a pervert, could it?! It seems like the ancients had a reason to have someone to stand guard at night in Miss's room. However, Qing Qi and Xiaoliu aren't here right now, so if he were to be discovered later, he would have to rely on the System.

That person walked to his bedside and stood there without moving. He stared at the glowing object for a long time. It seemed that he was also curious about this glowing jade pendant. Could it be that he was here to steal something?

Baili Ange guessed it right. He saw that person put the jade pendant in his arms, but she didn't expect that person to not only steal things, he also killed him. Baili Ange raised a shiny knife and stabbed towards Baili Ange's bed.

Baili Ange was so shocked that his mouth was wide open. If he wasn't awake, he would have become a scoundrel under the blade of a thief.
