C41 Look down on Him

"I am not someone who has a long relationship with others, nor would I be devoted to just one person. Thus, there is no need for anyone to worry about me dominating Prince Jiong and not let go." Xin Cangqu lightly tapped Kunwu Jiongnuo's shoulder with her jade fan, as if telling him that she was only playing around with him.

Kunwu Jiongnuo seemed to have been awakened. Xin Cangqu was like this, and he was the same as well. None of them would feel affection for anyone, nor would they show affection for anyone, it was just that … Why was there a subtle fluctuation in his heart whenever he faced this person that he hated to the bones?

Lili saw the abnormality in his eyes and a ripple appeared in her heart. Could it be that this Evil Ghost saw something? Impossible, even Li had not seen through this woman in all these years of disguise, let alone him.

The crimson jade fan shook with force, creating a cold wind. It swept away all the thoughts in its head and said with a smile: "Prince Jiong wouldn't be... Did This King get the truth? "

"There are countless beauties in the world, and they may not be as beautiful as Lord Cang, but not all of them are unsightly to the eye." "Of the four beauties in the martial arts world, This King has only met Sofia, Miss Yingli of the 'Colored Jade Pavilion of Yingli', and Miss Shuiyue, who is known as the number one beauty in Xinzhou. This king has never met any of them, so how could I have fallen for her?"

"Hey, stop!" Xin Cangqu's jade fan suddenly stopped and pointed at Kunwu Jiongnuo. "These beauties have already been taken into consideration by you, Prince Jiong. Who else can this one be friendly with?"

"Heh …" Kunwu Jiongnuo laughed softly when he heard this. He also stopped following him and met eyes with him, "Lord Cang is really funny. This matter of Feng Yue is not something that can be decided with just the two of us. It still depends on who the beauty is willing to give her heart to."

"That's true." Xin Cangqu nodded. "But …" In this world, how many people are able to resist the charm of this novel? "

"Then does This King count as one?" A demonic light flashed across Kunwu Jiongnuo's icy eyes as he asked the jade fan playfully while shaking it.

"Ha, ha, ha …" Xin Cangqu laughed to her heart's content. She did not answer him as she continued to walk forward.

A sly smile also appeared on Kunwu Jiongnuo's face.

Su Jiu was walking back and forth on the spot, waiting anxiously. She wanted to return to the forest to look for the two men several times, but she was worried that she would get separated from them, or that she would be trapped in the forest again. Thus, she had no choice but to restrain her impulse to return to the bamboo forest and pray for them.

After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Su Jiu looked at the two figures walking out of the forest, one white and one red.

Xin Cangqu nodded slightly as a form of apology. "Yes, that's me. Being pestered by evil spirits in the forest was a good fight. It took me so long to worry Sister Su."

Kunwu Jiongnuo also said, "I wasn't able to care about the both of you. This King must have overlooked something."

The dangerous experiences they had just had were overshadowed with a single sentence from the two of them.

Su Jiu smiled. "As long as the two of you are alright, I'll be fine."

Kunwu Jiongnuo nodded slightly, then raised his fan and pointed at the bamboo tower in front of them. "This place is the resting place that This King mentioned to the two."

Xin Cangqu took a few steps forward and sized up the slightly old bamboo house in front of her. Looking behind her along the bamboo house, she could see a corner of the pavilion peeking out from the luxuriant foliage, and it was surrounded by trees and rocks. There was nothing wrong with it.

Xin Cangqu knew that since Kunwu Jiongnuo was determined to kill him, he wouldn't give up so easily.

Kunwu Jiongnuo also took two steps forward and looked at the bamboo building. He sighed lightly, "It's been a long time since anyone has lived here and there's no food stored. I'm afraid that I'll have to drink water to fill up my hunger tonight."

"It's good to have water. Can Sister Su cook?" Xin Cangqu turned around to look at Su Jiu. Placing her hands behind her back, she smiled.

"Yes, but …" "There's no food." Su Jiu nodded slightly with a puzzled look in her eyes.

Kunwu Jiongnuo was also surprised. Did he have a way?

"Leave the problem of the ingredients to Ben. Sister Su, go to the room and wait first. Prince Jiong, come along with the book for a while." Xin Cangqu shook off the jade fan with one hand and took a few steps forward before turning back to explain, "That's right, Sister Su should boil some hot water first."

"Alright." Su Jiu nodded, but still couldn't think of what he wanted to do. He watched as the red and white figures disappeared into the bamboo forest before walking towards the bamboo house.

Kunwu Jiongnuo, who was in the bamboo forest, vigilantly followed behind Xin Cangqu. He didn't know what Xin Cangqu was up to, nor did he know if Xin Cangqu would take the opportunity to take revenge on him.

Xin Cangqu's footsteps were light and slow as she looked for something with lowered eyes. She completely ignored Kunwu Jiongnuo, who was keeping a safe distance behind her.

"What is Lord Cang looking for?" Kunwu Jiongnuo asked curiously, but he was still on guard as if he was afraid that Ye Zichen would plot against him.

Xin Cangqu glanced back at him and asked with a smile, "Does Prince Jiong want to help as well?"

"Lord Cang, you can talk about it. If I can help, naturally, I won't stand idly by the side and watch." At this moment, Kunwu Jiongnuo was surprisingly kind.

Xin Cangqu's gaze did not hide her contempt for him, "Forget it, even if I told you so, it would be useless. Prince Jiong has always lived like a prince since he was young. When did he ever do such rough work?"

What? Did I hear wrong? He actually looked down on him?! This Fire Demon actually looked down on Prince Jiong of Kunwu, who was incomparably wise, peerless in martial arts, suave and handsome, and had a graceful bearing?! He actually looked down on Evil Lord, the man and woman of this world, who was always bashful and adored by both men and women?!

Xin Cangqu ignored Kunwu Jiongnuo, who was choked by his words, and continued to search forward.

Kunwu Jiongnuo's hands subconsciously clenched into fists. The jade fan in his right hand let out a few soft sounds, but he still didn't relax. He stayed still for a while before chasing after it.

Xin Cangqu slowly pushed away the bamboo leaves on the ground and bent down to look at the wet ground. A delicate yet enchanting smile broke out on her face.

Kunwu Jiongnuo followed behind him, but he didn't know what Ye Zichen was looking at, nor did he know what Ye Zichen was laughing at.

Xin Cangqu looked around, then stood up and walked forward two steps. When she saw the bamboo shoot at the side, the jade fan spun around and closed the circle in her hands, then laughed happily: "Found it!"

Kunwu Jiongnuo looked at Xin Cangqu who was walking to the side. Then, his gaze shifted to the item he found. He asked uncertainly, "Could this be a bamboo shoot?"
