Arc 2 Chapter 20: The Queen in the Deep Sea 2

ED: Anna

[Host, the remaining life of the body this time is fifty years, please enjoy it.]

Thank you, I will cherish this life.

When Su Xin remembered Qu Xingchen, who had her heart in her mind in the last world, she could not wait to go back. 

Su Xin’s fishtail swayed and she swam a little towards the pool because the person sleeping on the big bed in the bedroom moved. 

Li Yunxi woke up, yawned, stepped on her slippers, and walked towards Su Xin. 

She leaned on the transparent glass of the pool and looked at Su Xin who was locked inside, with a smile.

“Good morning, Miss Mermaid.”

Su Xin gave her a cold look and turned her back to her.

The pool is surrounded by three and a half sides, using special material, because, in the beginning, the glass was directly broken by the original owner. The second princess wanted to touch her but was almost scratched.

The original owner showed great attack power. The glass of the rebuilt pool was the thickest glass of the latest research, and the semi-enclosed shape will not allow the original owner to escape.

To be honest, Su Xin couldn’t believe that the girl who was just lying on her glass was the fierce and scary God of War in the legendary center. The princess showed mildness and harmlessness, revealing a soft and cute feeling. Most importantly, she had a loli face.

The face of someone who was mixed race, with deep and delicate facial features, like a doll with baby fat. It was a person who you can’t help but exclaim ‘cute’ at first glance.

She had black hair and dark eyes. As she was rubbing her eyes, her sleepy look made people can’t help wanting to hug her.

But such a person was the God of war, and her title made Su Xin feel that she was very dangerous.

Li Yunxi touched her nose. Today’s Miss Mermaid was still unhappy and didn’t even look at her properly.

But it is also impossible to give her a good look. After all, she was now trying to attack the sea, and humans and mermaids have become enemies.

Li Yunxi was also very fascinated. She hadn’t known that the scarred beauty she picked up from the beach was a mermaid in the sea, but since it fell into her hands, it was not so easy to get out.

After washing, Li Yunxi ate breakfast at a place close to Su Xin.

Su Xin faced the wall, her hands clinging to artificially planted aquatic weeds.

There was a sound behind it, something was thrown into the water.

A freshwater grass carp was thrown in, spreading joy in the water, Su Xin looked at the fish swimming in the water disgustingly, grabbed it, and threw it out.

Not surprisingly, this fish should be her breakfast. The owner of this body has been on a hunger strike for three days since she was brought here.

Mermaids feed on fish from the sea, and humans cannot enter the sea with mermaids, but they still have many lakes inland and can be farmed artificially, so there is no shortage of seafood.

The reason why the original owner, Wei Er’ya, did not eat this kind of diet was because of the dignity of the race, and Su Xin did not eat this kind of food because she was disgusted.

Although mermaids do eat raw food, after all, how could there be cooked food in the sea?

The way they eat is primitive and rude, just holding the tadpoles directly, so this beautiful creature is not beautiful at all when eating.

If Su Xin wants to eat this fish, she doesn’t need to clean the fish scales and can bite it directly, but if you do that, the inevitable result is that the original clean pool would be contaminated by the grass carp’s blood. Su Xin would also have a mouthful of scales, so she couldn’t bear to eat it even if Su Xin told herself to treat the thing as sashimi.

Su Xin still found this eating method unacceptable, like ancient savages drinking blood, although she was now hungry.

Wei Er’ya had a large appetite, and Su Xin, who inherited the body, felt the same way.

Su Xin shook her blue fishtail and sank to the bottom of the water, sitting in a small nest that Li Yunxi specially made for her in the shape of a clam.

Li Yunxi saw the bouncing fish at her feet and made people come to clean it up.

“Miss Mermaid, do you want to starve to death in my fish tank? But it would not be so bad, I will just send you to the science lab for them to dissect your genetic structure when you starve to death. Weapons specifically for your mermaids, and perhaps the emergence of artificial mermaids will be made. “

Li Yunxi said so in a leisurely manner, but what she spit out was full of cruel words.

Never underestimate humans, because you never know what incredible and cruel things are hidden in their brains.

They are the weakest and also the strongest.

Wei Er’ya may not believe this threat. However, Su Xin believed that the scientific research development of human beings has reached a very amazing level. This was after all the future.

Humans can build robots and can study genetics. For those who are crazy about scientific research, Su Xin does not doubt the authenticity of the words of the second princess, so she moved her body gently.

“I only like living pets, do you understand, Miss Mermaid, a dead pet is not attractive to me.”

Li Yunxi knocked on the glass of the pool and said with a smile.

“I’m not a pet.”

Su Xin swam from the bottom of the water, crawling near the glass wall, a pair of eyes with the same color as the ocean stared at Li Yunxi, with undisguised anger.

Li Yunxi was amazed by the fierce eyes that seemed to contain the ocean and touched Su Xin’s face with her fingertips across the glass.

“It turns out that you can talk. I thought mermaids were animals, and that they didn’t communicate with people at all.”

Su Xin shook her tail and ignored her.

The mermaid was a really beautiful creature that lived up to the legend, Li Yunxi thought.

The swaying fishtail is not ugly, it is like a gift carefully carved by nature. The fine scales disappeared on the abdomen, and the lovely belly button can be seen from the front.

Blond hair should not belong to the ocean but the color of the sun. She shook in the water. Li Yunxi felt that if this mermaid was in the ocean, it would be more beautiful, just like the goddess of the ocean.

“Miss Mermaid, since you have spoken to me, how about we have a chat?”

Su Xin turned her back to Li Yunxi, pretending that she couldn’t hear what she was talking about.

The situation was very bad now. Su Xin could be fearless in the water, but she was just like a useless fish when she went ashore. She was imprisoned in this big pool, even if she could break the glass that prevented her from leaving. She could not drag the tail away, even if it could become legs, her legs had no strength at all, and she would die if she stayed away from the water for too long.

Without anyone’s help, Su Xin couldn’t escape from here, let alone return to the deep sea and become a queen.

Seeing Su Xin ignore her, Li Yunxi continued her harassment with enthusiasm and engaged with Su Xin.

“I heard that mermaids are very fierce. After all, you did destroy a lot of our things, but I think you are very good. Why did you get hurt on the coast that day, didn’t you say that you are the ruler of the ocean? How could something attack you? “

Li Yunxi was really interested in finding out about this.

Su Xin was hungry, very, very hungry, and had no physical energy to escape, so she felt that she wanted a piece of food that she could eat.

“I’m hungry.”

Su Xin’s upper body floated on the water, and she asked Li Yunxi. As for Li Yunxi’s question, does it have anything to do with her? Does she have to answer?

“Didn’t I just give you, you didn’t want to eat it.”

Li Yunxi crossed her arms and sat in a chair.

Does the mermaid not eat fish? But in the sea, what else can you eat but fish?

“Something else.”

Su Xin, facing Li Yunxi, was quite stubborn.

“Has anyone taught you that as a prisoner, you shouldn’t talk to your enemies like this?”

“Never mind.”

Su Xin’s eyebrows were full of irritability. Anyway, she was not human now, no matter what Li Yunxi said, she can still pretend to be confused.

“What are you thinking about?”

“What you ate.”

Her Royal Highness the second princess recalled her breakfast, delicious seafood porridge, and delicious vegetable pancakes. Do mermaids want to eat that?

“Do you eat cooked food?”

Li Yunxi’s expression was quite weird.

Su Xin Nodded.

“Don’t lie to me, just cause I read less. From where would you get cooked food in the sea.”

Her Royal Highness Princess expressed doubts about this. Does the mermaid seem to believe she was dumb? How can there be cooked food under the sea? She was not stupid.

“Never mind.”

Su Xin stubbornly gave the same answer.

“I’ll ask someone to prepare it for you. I can’t keep my mermaid hungry, right?”

Li Yunxi stepped out of the door and Su Xin nodded with satisfaction.

Li Yunxi personally brought seafood porridge and vegetable pancakes for Su Xin. When she pressed the button by the pool, the glass was lowered by one layer, and Su Xin’s chest could be exposed to the air.

“Here you go, eat.”

Su Xin gave a very vividly interpreted image for the second princess of what is considered eating like a savage, she took a big mouthful of seafood porridge, then her face suddenly changed.

When did the mermaid eat cooked food, let alone know what hot is? Although this bowl of seafood porridge was not at a boiling temperature, it was warm and humans could eat directly, but for the tongue of a mermaid, it was no different from heat torture.

Su Xin’s hot tears flowed out, but she resisted vomiting, stuffed the porridge into Li Yunxi’s hand, and immediately dived into the bottom of the water.

She could breathe in the water, not just relying on her nose, Su Xin stuck out her tongue to let the cold water cool her.

Su Xin, with teary eyes, murmured that she was not afraid of it being hot, because the porridge was warm when she touched her hand.

[Do you think that whatever you think is always right? ]

Fourteen lightly asked.

Su Xin wiped away the tears in the corner of her eyes, saying that the mermaid’s tears would not turn into pearls.

[Host, let me remind you that you are just a future mermaid, not the ancient mermaid and colorful Mary Su.]

Oh.

Li Yunxi held the bowl thoughtfully, Miss Mermaid was looking awkward.

Arc 2 Chapter 19: The Queen in the Deep Sea 1

Get Ready for Arc 2!!
[Note: “Chapter 19” is the total Novel Chaps no. and the “1” is for the chap no. in the arc]

TL: Vaishu
ED: Anna

[In order to ensure that the host is in a good state in the real world and to facilitate the normal operation of the next world mission, Fourteen will help the host to blur the memories. Goodbye]

Goodbye

After washing her face, Su Xin lay in bed and fell asleep faintly. It was noon the next day when she woke up.

After washing, she opened the door and knocked on the door of Qiu Qingqing’s room.

Qiu Qingqing gently opened the door and rubbed Su Xin’s untreated hair.

“I’m so hungry, let’s go cook something.”

“I know, the rice is already cooked, the vegetables are ready, and it’s enough to fry. Or else you can drink a bowl of stewed soup, to cushion your stomach?”

“What soup?”

  “Tofu and Pork Ribs Soup”

   “I want it.”

Su Xin obediently waited for her soup, Qiu Qingqing gently served her a bowl, and started to fry the vegetables.

There was fried pork liver, tomato and egg, chicken wings, tofu and pork ribs soup.

With three dishes and one soup, Qiu Qingqing gently put the rice cooker on the dining table, and the two began to enjoy lunch.

After Su Xin got up and walked around after eating, Qiu Qingqing gently washed the dishes.

Su Xin did not have the feeling of living as a coddled person in front of Qiu Qingqing.

In fact, Su Xin can endure hardships, but she doesn’t need to in front of Qiu Qingqing. Qiu Qingqing will help her get everything done. She just needs to sit at the table and eat. Infront of Qiu Qingqing, she doesn’t have to do anything. Because Qiu Qingqing will help her do it well.

Su Xin was in a daze when she touched the phone, but it was only for a moment.

After she sat on the sofa and played two games, Qiu Qingqing gently took the phone and sat next to her.

After a while, Qiu Qingqing’s mobile phone rang, and she frowned slightly.

“What’s wrong?”

“There is a mission.”

“Aren’t you on vacation?”

Su Xin leaned over, pressed her body on Qiu Qingqing gently, and looked at her mobile phone screen.

Sure enough, it was a task issued by the organization, let Qiu Qingqing decide on her own.

“The organization said it was a little difficult to handle. Three failed, two died and one was seriously injured.”

So they had to let Qui Qingqing take action even though she was still on vacation.

“But if you succeed, you will have a lot of money, and you can extend your vacation.”

Qiu Qingqing gently considered whether it was a good deal.

“Be safe and good luck.”

Su Xin leaned over and kissed Qiu Qingqing gently on the forehead, Qiu Qingqing gently rubbed her hair and nodded.

Qiu Qingqing went out gently, Su Xin was alone in her house, ordering takeaway or instant noodles.

After five days, Qiu Qingqing came back softly, with a bloody smell that couldn’t be hidden. Fortunately, no one noticed at night.

Qiu Qingqing was different from the blatant dark feeling that people can’t help but notice when Su Xin doesn’t hide it. Qiu Qingqing’s temperament was considered gentle, at least no one would think she was an assassin. The dangerous person who wandered on the edge of darkness, in Su Xin’s words, looked like a good woman.

Qiu Qingqing didn’t talk much, and her voice was very gentle. She showed a sense of unhurried elegance in everything she did, even her shots were absolutely neat and tidy.

By the time Qiu Qingqing’s current ability could make her hurt badly, there was not much time.

“It seemed really difficult to get around, has it succeeded?”

Su Xin took the medicine box and began to gently treat Qiu Qingqing’s wound.

Qiu Qingqing nodded slightly, closed her eyes and fell asleep. Su Xin moved for a while and gently carried Qiu Qingqing upstairs, took off the blood coat, and cleaned her wounds.

After everything was set up, Su Xin gently put Qiu Qingqing on the bed. She was afraid of what would happen to her in the middle of the night, so she slept on Qiu Qingqing’s bed.

When Su Xin got up the next day, Qiu Qingqing was looking at her with a rather pitiful expression.

“Xin Xin, I was seriously injured this time, so sleep with me at night”

Su Xin was a little surprised, but did not think about it too seriously.

Qiu Qingqing gently smiled at Su Xin, but sighed silently where Su Xin could not see.

Su Xin doesn’t like to go out. She finds her career exciting enough. When she is fine, she likes to stay at home and do nothing.

After a few months, Su Xin heard fourteen mechanical voice again.

[Hello host, now there is a request from the future plane, do you accept it?]

Su Xin looked at the wonderful spring weather outside and walked upstairs in slippers.

“Qui Qingqing, I’ll take a nap”

After closing the door, Su Xin lay on the bed and chose to accept.

[The request is accepted successfully, in contact with the client, the real world is sleeping.]

Su Xin appeared in a white system space and saw a creature she had never seen before, like a legendary mermaid.

She was floating in the air, her blue fish tail swayed, her breasts adorned with shells, her face was small, her appearance was exquisite, her long golden hair was slightly curly behind her, and her expression made her feel melancholy.

Su Xin was a little dumbfounded, this was a beauty that surpassed the race, and people couldn’t help but fall over.

“Hello, are you the entrusted person of my wish?”

The mermaid greeted her.

“Yes, Hello”

“My wish is to return to the deep sea and become the queen of the clan. That is my mission, please.”

The mermaid’s tail swayed lightly, and there was some unbearable anger and sadness.

“Okay.”

To be a queen, this wish feels so powerful.

The mermaid swam away with her tail wagging, Su Xin looked at her back and closed her eyes.

When she opened her eyes again, Su Xin found herself in the water.

Her appearance was reflected on the water, her face was so pitiful, her ears were pointed, and her fingers were not like human’s, with transparent things like webbeds.

Su Xin looked at the environment where she was. It was a large pool, semi-circular, and she was kept in it, like a pet. In fact, her identity was true.

Not far from the pool was a huge bed. The side of the bed near the window was a desk, and the other side near the door was a wardrobe. It was hard to believe that this was a bedroom, but it was indeed a large area. The wide bedroom belonged to the most favored Princess of the Empire.

Su Xin was receiving the body information, and felt a little headache.

This is the plane of the future, human civilization was already very developed, and the land and sea were now at war with each other.

After expanding all the terrestrial territory, humans wanted to move towards the sea. After all, the sea also has rich resources, but they were rejected by the Rulers of the deep sea, the Mermaids.

Mermaids were a very rare race, but their lethality cannot be underestimated. After seeing the beauty of mermaids, human beings have strengthened their belief in attacking the sea, but they were in a stalemate after repeated attacks.

The original owner, Wei Er’ya, was a very unlucky mermaid. She was an adult and had chosen her own gender. According to the level of the mermaid dynasty, Wei Er’ya should be the fifth child of the queen, that is, the fifth heir.

The rules of the sea were that whoever was the strongest was the boss. On the day of adulthood, Wei Er’ya challenged a giant deep-sea shark. Although she got scarred by the giant shark, she also successfully seriously injured the giant shark.

After she killed the giant shark and was about to return with her victory, the sea swelled, and she was hit by the huge tide to the shore, and since she was out of the water her fish tail turned into legs.

When Wei Er’ya was about to climb back into the sea and turn into a mermaid form and hurry away, she was seen by the second imperial princess, who was walking by the sea, and was taken back to the palace by the second princess. She saw the wound on Wei Er’ya’s body and thought she was attacked by a piranha and treated her.

Wei Er’ya was too weak to maintain a human state, not to mention that she was seriously injured, and she was dying without water.

After talking to the second princess Niu Tau, and hoping that she didn’t have a blabber mouth, Wei Er’ya chose the latter between dying or revealing her identity, and asked the second princess to take her to the bathroom, revealing her fishtail in the bathtub, and they both glanced at each other, and then promptly Wei Er’ya passed out into a coma.

After waking up, she was already in this huge pool, and Wei Er’ya was found by the system and quickly issued a request for entrustment.

Wei Er’ya knew that falling into the hands of humans would not end well, let alone those humans coveting their mermaid beauty, after all they are still in a stalemate.

Humans have been attacking the bottom of the sea for a long time to no avail, and mermaids often let ferocious fish attack ships on the sea, so that the humans cannot touch the sea.

Human beings were greedy for the resources, so the mermaids were naturally very hostile towards them, and they have even reached a point where they can not share the same world.

The second princess took the original owner as a pet and raised her in captivity. As a cherished race of mermaids, she would naturally not kill her.

What made Su Xin feel that the situation was not so serious was that the second princess had not yet planned to send her to any scientific research institute for anatomy, or observation.

After all, human beings are very curious about the structure of mermaids.

Su Xin had no doubt that with the degree of human madness, seeing a female mermaid like her, someone would try to mate with her to see if she could produce anything.

For humans, mermaids were always creatures at the bottom of the sea, but they were something more advanced than those livestock, and still not so different from animals.

Although a mermaid can think and has a force value, it is far from enough to use a mermaid to compare with human intelligence.

Mermaids always acted by instinct, and were relatively straightforward, not very good at conspiring and playing tricks.

This was the reason human beings initially wanted to engage in peace talks and deceive them by the way of negotiation, but the mermaids were not so foolish, while mermaids did not want to kill them, as long as humans appeared on the sea, they would all be killed.

Only a few people knew that the second princess had a mermaid here, and some people wanted to let the second princess treat the original host as a hostage to negotiate, but the original host resisted. She was unwilling to call out and lead her companions here.

The original owner was fine now because the second princess had saved her, and the second princess said that none of her pets were allowed to be held as hostages.

In fact, the title of the most beloved princess obviously wouldn’t hold down many people, but this title was coupled with ‘God of War’.

That’s right, the second princess, who was the most beloved of the empire, was also the famous God of War who fought in the North and South. This time she came to take charge of the sea floor.

We've began a new chapter in Su Xin's life...
Join us on this new adventure!!

{The Movie Queen’s Little Fortune Butterfly} Chapter 9 (1)

The alarm clock rang at 5 am waking Jian Yixin up; even the stars were still drowsy at this time.

Through the glass, you could hear the patter of the autumn drizzle.

Jian Yixin got out of the quilt, still drowsy. She then proceeded to check her phone for any unread messages.

In order to keep up with the original host’s life, Xiao Jiu had been maintaining her social network over the internet for her. On rare occasions, when something caught her interest, Jian Yixin would reply personally.

Except, Jian Yixin didn’t let Xiao Jiu handle the greetings between Song Pianxian’s family. She did them personally every morning and evening.

After sending her morning greeting, Jian Yixin got out of her bed, and saw a Weibo page on her phone.

She had probably clicked it by mistake.

Since it was open, Jian Yixin browsed the original’s Weibo as she brushed her teeth.

As she was originally living abroad, there wasn’t much on this account. Her homepage was full of Shen Yu, his fan clubs, and his starry-eyed fangirls.

Jian Yixin quickly unfollowed Shen Yu and his fanclubs and fangirls easily. This would make it easier for her to get the task target.

It was too early for the clubhouse buffet to be opened, so a separate breakfast was made and delivered to her room. 

Liu Lele was the one who managed her artist’s Weibo account daily, and in passing, looked at the followers list. Seeing an ID “Mu Pianqian” reminded her of Song Pianxian, her lil sis.

When she clicked it, she actually saw a picture of Song Pianxian and her friend.

Ah, it’s Song Pianxian.

What a resourceful little lady I am.

“Good morning sister, see what I found, I caught her on the spot! [Weibo screenshot]”

Lin Qinglu ate the grass while casually opening the messages from Liu Lele.

When she saw the screenshot, her hand shook as she clicked, and half of the cherry tomatoes on the fork fell back into the salad bowl.

“Don’t play with your mobile phone during mealtime.”

Movie Queen Lin strictly educated her assistant and was the first to put the phone back on the table with the screen face down, taking the lead.

Really now, people can’t even have their breakfast quietly.

Isn’t it just that she followed my Weibo, is that a big deal?

Lin Qinglu ate sweet salad grass intermittently.

She should have followed me much earlier.

The studio was about an hour’s drive from City N. In the early morning, there were fewer people, and the speed was faster.

The rain had stopped and the air was still wet and cold.

As soon as they got off the bus, Director Zhao called Liu Lele:

“Lele, have you come back?”

“Yes, we are heading back towards the crew to reapply makeup right now.”

“Yes, they’ve already arrived.” Director Zhao seemed to be discussing with someone, and after a long time, he came back and said, “The morning schedule has been changed, and I planned to let you spend more time in N City. Since you are back, let Qinglu have a good rest in the morning.”

“Why did you change it?” Liu Lele asked after understanding the implication behind Lin Qinglu’s gaze.

“Oh, Zixuan asked for leave.” After a pause, Director Zhao’s voice became very low, “Mr. Ji from Xing Yao is here.”

When Ji Jing appeared in the studio, Ye Zixuan was undoubtedly the one who was surprised the most.

She seemed like Cinderella who saw the prince’s sudden appearance, with a look of surprise and admiration. Ji Jing liked her reaction a lot. He handed the rose that his secretary was holding to Ye Zixuan with a mellow voice:

“I came to visit the crew, you are working hard.”

Ye Zixuan took it with a blush on her face, her eyes sparkling: “Thank you, President.”

Xing Yao was one of the investors. The president personally came to visit the crew, the crew must entertain them, but Yu Bo was impatient with this and wandered away before eating breakfast.

Director Zhao couldn’t help but bring a few people in charge of the crew to greet Ji Jing, as a show of courtesy and to give him enough face.

Ye Zixuan followed Ji Jing’s side, like the moon held by stars, her face radiant and triumphant.

She hugged a large bouquet of roses and looked around, only to find that everyone seemed to be lacking in interest.

Why?

It was not like that when that man appeared yesterday.

Ji Jing is the president of Xing Yao! Do they understand?

Ye Zixuan was like a punctured balloon, a little discouraged, she couldn’t tell whether it was for Ji Jing or because of her own anger.

Her gaze continued to wander, and she saw Shen Yu standing next to the camera.

Shen Yu was lonely, but his eyes were still so gentle.

Ye Zixuan pretended not to know and smiled brightly at him.

Shen Yu was stunned, facing the woman he dreamed of and the unmatched Ji Jing, he couldn’t do anything but only show a reluctant smile.

The girl next to her mumbled:

“This president Ji? Why doesn’t he look more handsome than yesterday’s brother?” The camera crew whispered.

“The face seems a little bit worse than him, and the body ratio is also not good.” Strict comment from the clothing group.

Ji Jing had the face of a male protagonist after all, with sword-like eyebrows and star eyes. Unfortunately, the crew got picky after seeing Song Zhe yesterday.

Moreover, Ye Zixuan was petite and fresh, and yesterday’s Song Pianxian was more noble and mature, the visual impact of the couple felt different.

After shipping the high-standard couple, looking at the low version, it was no surprise.

Shipping them felt totally unworthy, but they could still gossip

An ambiguous story about a second-tier actress and the president of Xing Yao visiting the crew, wasn’t it something worth talking about? After all, he just came to see Ye Zixuan.

Everyone knew this clearly, so when Ye Zixuan left with Ji Jing, they were not very surprised.

Ye Zixuan left the crew and followed Ji Jing without even looking back, asking for a day off.

Shen Yu had to stay behind to shoot a separate scene while in the afternoon there was a rivalry scene with Lin Qinglu.

Lin Qinglu also took a half-day vacation for no reason but didn’t know what to do.

一one as an autumn rain and the other cold yet refreshing, made people feel sleepless.

The studio was not open to the public, so the shops were also very lazy. Except for breakfast delivery and takeaway, they all opened after 9 o’clock.

Standing at the entrance of the street, movie queen Lin would rarely display a dazed expression.

Jian Yixin couldn’t help but curl her lips as she shook her phone, and said, “It’s rare to have free time. Would you like to visit my friend’s West Point House?”

“Does it open so early?” Liu Lele headed out and asked.

“Yeah.” Jian Yixin said warmly. The boss had called, dare they not open the door?

When they stepped on the scattered leaves and walked to the street of West Point House, Lin Qinglu inhaled the faint butter fragrance, which was especially gentle after the bleak autumn rain.

When the pastry chef in the shop looked up, he saw his boss and… Lin Qinglu???

The cake clip in his hand fell onto the plate with a squeak, and the tiramisu fell swaying, splashing a lot of sweet crumbs.

“Lin…Lin–” The young pastry chef stammered, not knowing whether he was anxious or shy, his face blushed little by little.

“It’s Lin Qinglu.” Liu Lele grinned and completed the sentence for him.

“Yes, yes.” The West Point Master nodded hurriedly.

He was not Lin Qinglu’s loyal fan, but this seemed like when you suddenly look up in a certain morning and see a beauty that could only be seen in a movie.

This was not a matter of being a fan or not, every normal person would be so excited!

The pastry chef blushed and his heart beat for quite a while, and when Jian Yixin started to choose cakes with a pastry tray, he remembered his boss.

“Let me do it.” He hurriedly greeted him.

“I’ll do it myself, you can continue with your work.” Jian Yixin smiled and glanced at him, and the pastry chef’s face turned red again.

No way, the boss was also very good-looking.

But then he woke up and remembered what the boss had told him, saying that they were only friends.

Although he didn’t know why, he still had things to do with his salary. Thus the pastry chef stepped back a bit and continued to return to the back of the counter to set the plate casually.

Jian Yixin simply picked some cakes and took Lin Qinglu along with the others up to the second floor to the audio-visual room.

“Are you familiar with this place?” Lin Qinglu said, glancing at the pastry plate, there was no butterfly pastry on it.

“I have been here only once or twice.” Jian Yixin said generously.

The second floor was bought only for Jian Yixin. In addition to the bedroom, there was also a self-contained audio-visual room, which seemed to work well, so Jian Yixin didn’t let it change.

She won’t be staying here very long anyway thus it was not necessary.

Unexpectedly, it came in handy today.

“It hasn’t officially opened yet, maybe the day after tomorrow.” Jian Yixin explained.

In fact, after they came in, West Point House put up a small wooden sign to suspend business again.

Liu Lele went out to answer the phone, and Jian Yixin began to pick a movie.

There were many discs left by the old master in the audio-visual room. Jian Yixin looked around, and her eyes settled on “The Worship”.

“The Worship” was Lin Qinglu’s debut film and the one which helped her win an award.

 A number of people predicted that it would be difficult for Lin Qinglu to reach the same height of fame as she did at her debut.

Lin Qinglu later proved herself with facts, but from another perspective, this was also a high affirmation of this film.

“Let’s watch this?” Jian Yixin took the video disc and shook it towards Lin Qinglu.

The original body had never seen this movie so she wanted to see it.

Lin Qinglu saw that it was her own movie, she grabbed a pillow and hugged it while speaking with a light tone:

“If you have nothing else you want to see, just look at this one.”

She raised her chin proudly, hiding behind the pillow with the cat’s tail raised quietly.

“Okay.” Jian Yixin put the disc in neatly, then turned off the light and the room darkened.

The movie began, and the screen on the projection cloth shone shadowy light in the room.

Jian Yixin watched it seriously.

This movie tells the story of a little girl who lost her family for some reason and was taken care of by her father’s friend as a daughter. The father’s friend also had a slightly older daughter who was considered to be her sister.

The story revolves around that girl in high school. As for this “worship” theme, according to Jian Yixin’s understanding, it should be the girl’s pursuit and worship towards her sister.

Because of this adoration, she followed the footsteps of her excellent sister, overcame contradictions, no longer got confused and became a better person.

Lin Qinglu watched for a while and became distracted, turning to see Song Pianxian.

But Song Pianxian watched the movie too seriously, she never looked away.

Lin Qinglu looked at herself on the screen and couldn’t help but compare secretly. Could it be that her previous self looked better?

Was she getting ugly when growing older?

{The Movie Queen’s Little Fortune Butterfly} Chapter 8 (3)

Song Zhe couldn’t stand his sister’s cute eyes, and immediately expressed his position; righteously saying, “Participating in the candidate selection would just dirty my hands.”

Beside him, Li Hua didn’t dare say anything. He was asked carefully, and even among the HY executives, there were disagreements on which Chinese actress to sign.

The conservative ones thought it was better to sign with Ye Zixuan due to her favorable impression with the boss.

Others insisted on signing with Lin Qinglu.

The higher ups who negotiated with Li Hua was Lin Pai, yelling, they said, “Lin Qinglu is here, do you dare to gloss over her for a second rate actress? Are you crazy?” 

Presently, Song Zhe had the final word.

Right now, Ye Zixuan’s relationship with Ji Jing  could possibly affect the endorsement deal.

Jian Yixin gave a small smile, as though she was relieved, “That’s good.”

“Gege is busy with business, and even now, he’s still thinking of business.” Jian Yixin picked a bowl of fruit for Song Zhe after the meal and handed it to him. With clear eyes and a sweet voice she said, “You’ve worked hard brother.”

“What are you being so polite with your brother for?” Song Zhe accepted the fruit, and smiled so hard, the corners of his mouth seemed to be fixed up high on his face. His sister was so good to him

Li Hua, who was beside him, shook her head in her heart. The President had signed hundreds of millions of projects indifferently, but in front of this young lady, he became a cheerful brother in seconds.

As Lin Qinglu opened the door and rejoined them, she saw Song Zhe smile at Song Pianzhen.

She squeezed the handle tightly and moved to sit with them.

“Ms. Lin” Jian Yixin called out when she saw Lin Qinglu back.

“Ms. Lin is back.” Song Zhe followed his sister and showed kindness towards his sister’s potential friend.

“It’s late. I heard Pianzhen say that you’re going back to the crew tonight, so there’s no need to worry. I already booked a room for you at the hotel. You can take a rest, and let them arrange a car to send you off in the morning.”

Lin Qinglu stood up straight and nodded. “Thank you, but there’s no need. The crew has a tight filming schedule.”

“It’s better to get up early. Right now, it’s pretty late.” Song Zhe smiled, “I would’ve asked Xiao Dong to take you back, but I’m going to M city tomorrow, and Xiao Dong is accompanying me there. Fortunately, the club doesn’t disclose info easily. Otherwise, I would’ve stayed for a while longer to avoid reporters.”

In all fairness, although Lin Qinglu couldn’t figure out why, she found Song Zhe to be an eyesore. But she couldn’t deny that Song Zhe was a cultured, charming person, with good knowledge and character. It wouldn’t be good to reject his courteous invitation anymore.

Of course, the main reason was because Song Zhe would be leaving tonight.

So, Lin Qinglu felt quite at ease.

Sure enough, hers and Song Zhe’s aura didn’t match up.

Although Lin Qinglu insisted on paying the bill for the three of them, the hotel had refused to accept at first, but accepted it in the end.

Liu Lele was very good at saving artist’s money. She looked at the shocking price and advised, “ Sister, you take a room for yourself. Book a standard one for me and Pianzhen.”

Lin Qinglu firmly refuted. “One person per room.”

Moved, Liu Lele praised, “ Sister, you’re so kind.”

Lin Qinglu casually responded, turned around, and gave Song Pianzhen a room card.

“Here, take it.”

“Thank you Ms. Lin.” Jian Yixin took it with a smile, but found that Lin Qinglu wasn’t letting go.”

She looked at her suspiciously.

The room card was black gold. Pianzhen put her long white fingers onto the room card, and the other end was in her hand.

Looking at this scene, Lin Qinglu didn’t know why, but her heart began to pulsate.

She regained her senses, and facing Song Pianzhen’s gaze, immediately released her room card as if she had been burned.

“What’s this?”

Sorry for the long wait! Pianxian is back, and you can look forward to regular weekly releases for this novel ❦

Arc 1 Chapter 18: The Courtesan’s Daily Life

TL: Vaishu
ED: Anna

How long has it been that in these fourteen years Su Xin can understand the meaning of all of Qu Feiqing’s expressions, it’s been quite some time so they are very familiar with each other.

When Su Xin and Qu Feiqing met, Su Xin was sixteen, young and tender, and inexperienced, Qu Feiqing, who was twenty-three, was in her prime, exuding vigorous vitality and unstoppable momentum.

As time passed slowly, Qu Feiqing began to grow old, and she also began to panic.

No one can beat time, no one can stay young forever.

She and her lover are seven years apart. When she was in the mature period of a woman, she was charming and lovely, and her lover was youthful, but when Su Xin grows into a charming flower, she would already be old.

But this kind of faint worry was not worth mentioning in the face of the great change that was about to happen. Qu Feiqing stayed by Su Xin’s bed in a panic, her face pale.

[Host, you are going to be out of luck. Judging by the severity of the serious injury, you will die in ten minutes.]

Fourteen issued a verdict in Su Xin’s mind.

Shu Quan cried, her eyes filled with tears at the foot of the bed, but she dared not make a sound for fear that it would disturb Su Xin.

It had happened suddenly, but it was indeed a murder that was planned for sometime.

“I should have killed him a long time ago. I shouldn’t have kept him and let him take over my position in the future. I didn’t expect him to be so capable.”

Qu Feiqing gritted her teeth, her tone full of hatred

Qu Feiqing did not expect that Qu Xingchen would stab her back, and the stab was so hard and deep, it was in the middle of her weakness, and she didn’t even have a chance to recover.

Qu Xingchen has changed from being an immature child to a handsome young boy. He acted very well. After his father died, he was sad for a while. After the sorrow passed, it seemed as though nothing had happened at all. In front of his aunt, he dismissed his father’s death and dismissed his father as a cowardly character.

At that time, Qu Feiqing only regarded this child to have a ruthless temperament and that he could take on a heavy responsibility.

Unexpectedly, he hid his hatred so deeply. It can be said that he has endured humiliation and planned this for 14 years.

“Qu Feiqing, I also want you to know the taste of losing your loved ones.”

Qu Xingchen prepared with two hands. One hand is the front court and the other is the harem. The front court failed, but it’s okay. The plan with Su Xin succeeded.

Qu Xingchen has been close to Su Xin. More than ten years have passed. Even if Su Xin had doubts at the time, she did not expect that he would suddenly make a move now.

The weapon pierced the heart, and she could no longer be saved.

“You will be fine.”

Qu Feiqing held Su Xin’s hand.

“Heal her for me.”

Qu Feiqing’s expression was terrifying, as she looked at the imperial doctor, who was holding the medicinal box.

“Your Majesty, my apologies, this doctor is really helpless.”

The imperial physician bowed his waist and shivered, and said in a trembling tone.

“Get out, get out all of you!”

Qu Feiqing knew this fact,  and yet she was still suppressing her emotions.

Shu Quan knelt and refused to leave, and Qu Feiqing didn’t bother to care about her.

“It will be fine.”

Qu Feiqing sent internal force into Su Xin’s body, trying to warm Su Xin’s cold hands that she was holding.

“It’s not fine, I’m leaving you.”

“Shut up.”

Qu Feiqing was a little out of control, she even looked at Su Xin pleadingly.

“Don’t go okay.”

“I’m sorry.”

Su Xin rarely said sorry, but this time she meant it, sincerely

“You said you would stay with me forever, you can’t lie to me.”

“I really have to go.”

Su Xin was already struggling to speak, and her voice was very low.

“It’s not alright, I’m so cold, and it hurts”

“I’m really sorry.”

I’m really sorry for not being able to stay with you forever.

According to her estimate, Su Xin could’ve stayed with Qu Feiqing for another ten years

Ten years, a very long time, very long

Su Xin didn’t speak any more, Qu Feiqing hugged her

“Didn’t you really want to go out before? After you get better this time, how about I take you out?”

“I will take you to see one of the most beautiful places in Quliu Country.”

“I’m sorry…”

Su Xin said her last words and closed her eyes.

Qu Feiqing’s expression froze, trembling, she put her finger under Su Xin’s nose.

Su Xin was dead.

She really left and won’t come back again.

A depressing roar sounded throughout the palace, and the listeners were flustered and heart-stricken, feeling a lot of sadness.

Su Xin lost consciousness for a moment, and when she opened her eyes again, she appeared in the white space.

Fourteen, she must be very sad.

[The host mission is completed, after deducting all consumption, the real world life span is ten months, the freezing sleep spell is lifted, and you will now return to the real world.]

Su Xin opened her eyes and was at Qiu Qingqing’s house.

Su Xin got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash her face and looked at her reflection in the bathroom mirror.

The mirror surface was smooth, it was a modern glass mirror, unlike the brass mirror, in the ancient times, that was not very clear.

The face that belonged to me, was supposed to be feel familiar, but now it has 

become a little strange.

After all, she had traveled through the past fifteen years and had known that person for fourteen years, that was a very long time.

[Please enjoy your time, the host will be notified when there is a task.]

Okay.

{Extra- The world after leaving}

Su Xin’s body lost its temperature little by little in Qu Feiqing’s arms.

Qu Feiqing held Su Xin silently, lowered her head and buried it in Su Xin’s arms.

Shu Quan stumbled and crawled over, trying to touch Su Xin, but was pushed away by Qu Feiqing.

“Get lost.”

Qu Feiqing stood up, carried Su Xin bridal-style, and walked out.

Shu Quan covered her face and cried, they were no different now.

Although one is an emperor above ten thousand people and the other is a humble maidservant, Shu Quan does not feel that Qu Feiqing is any better than her. She was just as pitiful because of the death of one person.

Qu Feiqing carried Su Xin to the dungeon, where Qu Xingchen was imprisoned.

Qu Xingchen was tied to the torture frame. Someone brought a chair for Qu Feiqing, and Qu Feiqing helped Su Xin to sit on it.

“Goodbye, I’ll punish him for you.”

Qu Feiqing kissed Su Xin’s lips with a gentle expression.

The guards in the prison kept their heads down, afraid to watch the scene.

Your Majesty must have gone crazy.

Qu Xingchen smiled triumphantly at Qu Feiqing, even though he was now scarred.

“Aunt, what you gave to me, I gave it back to you”

Qu Feiqing looked at the torture instruments next to her, and the gentleness at the corner of her mouth turned into a gloomy cold frown.

The screams were endless, and it was tormenting everyone in the prison, and it couldn’t help but numb one’s scalp.

Qu Feiqing was torturing Qu Xingchen, but she refused to let him die. Once she finished, she called the imperial physician to treat Qu Xingchen with medicine.

Qu Feiqing sat on the chair holding Su Xin and stroked her hair.

“She is dead.”

    瞿星辰的脸已经被毁了,他抬起头吐出这句话,笑的像个恶鬼。

Even though Qu Xingchen’s face had been ruined, he raised his head and spit out those words, smiling like an evil ghost.

“I do not want to hear his voice”

The imperial doctor understood, and made Qu Xingchen mute.

 I, this Emperor, is a person in utter desolation. 

Qu Xingchen’s death was inevitable, and he died later by Qu Feiqing’s hands.

During the execution of the sentence, the ministers were all present, and some people yelled at Qu Feiqing that it was not proper for the Empress to be so inhumane. She would be condemned by God if she harmed his body so much.

Qu Feiqing looked at the man coldly, there was a nasty smell with what he said.

“Since you think so, then you can go to hell with him.”

Not proper for the Empress? Qu Xingchen harmed Su Xin, and it was not enough to let him die ten thousand times, and even a thousand swords could not solve the hatred in his heart.

Cruel to the bones? Since she came to the throne, she killed her father and brother, why would she be afraid of killing her nephew?

Wrath of the heavens? Qu Feiqing did not believe in fate, but when she met Su Xin, she began to believe again.

Was it God’s arrangement that she met Su Xin?

Was she too cruel, so God made her suffer this kind of pain?

On the day Su Xin was buried, Qu Feiqing changed her clothes. Regardless of everyone’s opposition, she let Su Xin be buried in the imperial tomb and wrote Su Xin’s name on the royal family tree.

From the perspective of others, Qu Feiqing and Su Xin were both strange women.

Qu Feiqing came out of Lenggong and ascended the throne as a young woman. With brutal methods, she killed her father, killed her brother and forced her other brother to death. She was a tyrant who disregarded human relations.

Su Xin climbed from an unnamed brothel to the bed of the Empress of another country, and finally entered the ancestral temple of another country, where she was listed on the family tree.

He Yunshu learned about Su Xin’s death, and she shed a tear in the capital far away from Li Su Xin.

They have met three times in the past fourteen years. He Yunshu knew that Su Xin was doing well, so she felt relieved, ignored the weird sore feeling in her heart, smiled and blessed Su Xin, and she also had her own man by her side.

But now that Su Xin was dead, He Yunshu felt a little empty in her heart

“Why are you crying?”

The man gently wiped her tears away.

He Yunshu shook her head and said:

“I just thought of the past.”

When I look at the streets, the beautiful girl I met in the past as a young girl myself in a new world is unforgettable.

Qu Feiqing buried Su Xin, and Shu Juan guarded the imperial tomb.

All the brothers and sisters died, and the one who got married and was still close was Qu Feiyun.

The woman, who always laughed, was so matured by that time that she was already the mother of several children.

Qu Feiqing asked for the oldest son from Qu Feiyun’s children and began to teach him carefully.

She taught that child the art of imperialism, the way of the Emperor.

Qu Xiling felt that his aunt was a good Emperor, although many people thought she was cruel and violent.

Qu Xiling also felt that his aunt was alive now, but on the inside she seemed to be dead.

“As an emperor, I’m telling you that you must be decisive, not benevolent.”

“As your aunt, I must tell you that you must hold the things you like, or you will regret it”

“The lesson I’m gonna teach you today is: cut the grass to get rid of the roots.”

If she was not reluctant to kill Qu Xingchen, perhaps Su Xin would not leave her.

She doesn’t have to be what she is now, she has great rivers and mountains, and enjoys boundless loneliness.

When Qu Feiqing began to teach Qu Xiling, she also began to slowly give up on nostalgia.

That person is very wild. If I don’t stay by her side, I’m afraid she will forget me.

I am most afraid that she will forget me.

Arc 1 Chapter 17: The Courtesan’s Daily Life

TL: Vaishu
ED: Anna
QC: Crazyformyself

Qu Feiqing had organized a funeral for her younger brother, with a delicate face that was very indifferent, no sorrow could be seen.

For Qu Feiqing, unimportant people held no value in her life to make her feel sad.

Su Xin looked from far away now and frowned as she watched Qu Xingchen wearing mourning clothes and filial piety for his father.

The prince had committed suicide. While he was not well known, rumours surrounding his death were spread out. Qu Feiqing had no time to think of such things. For her, he was just her younger brother who was held under house arrest, where he would eat, drink and sometimes take his son out to train. She didn’t know why he would die this way.

Qu Xingchen’s face was thin, and his eyes were red. He was only eleven or twelve years old, and right now, he seemed more mature than before. He knelt beside the coffin, his whole body looked like he was shrouded in a dark shadow.

Qu Feiqing’s eyes swept across his body with a thoughtful expression on her face.

In the third year of Su Xin’s stay, Qu Feiyun got married.

Qu Feiyun was not too young anymore, but Qu Feiqing didn’t force her to do anything. Qu Feiyun did as she pleased.

Qu Feiyun was asked to marry the general’s second son, a brave young man. 

When she was about to get married, Qu Feiyun came to look for Su Xin, looking like a young girl in spring, waiting to get married.

“I understand now, it turns out that the way my Empress sister looks at you is really like looking at her wife.”

After realizing it, Qu Feiyun said excitedly that the second son of the general’s family looked at her in the same way, and she couldn’t help but be moved.

“Is this the kind of relationship that exists between you and my Empress sister?”

Qu Feiyun had never thought about that, but now that she thought about it, it was quite strange.

“Yes.”

Su Xin nodded lazily.

Qu Feiyun was about to marry, and there was now one less person in this palace who could speak with her.

“Then you and my Empress sister have a good time, don’t you run.”

Qu Feiyun patted Su Xin on the shoulder.

“You go marry your man. You had to remind me that you snitched on me to her years ago, didn’t you?” 

Su Xin rolled her eyes.

When Qu Feiyun got married, it was so lively. Qu Feiqing gave a huge dowry, and the General’s wedding gift was also not bad.

“Do you also want to?”

Qu Feiqing stood with her hands intertwined in Su Xin’s hands, tilting her head to look at Su Xin.

Su Xin was taken aback and shook her head.

Their love was in all forms, and it was enough to just stay together.

It was really hard to tell the world about their relationship status.

Qu Feiqing’s position was not one that was peaceful at all. Su Xin didn’t know how many people were scheming behind their backs, and Su Xin didn’t want to have more troubles.

Su Xin was not used to the quiet of the palace since there no longer was a princess in the palace who was always smiling and laughing at everything, and no one was screaming like a sparrow.

A few days later, when Su Xin opened her eyes, she saw Shu Juan standing by her bed with a sad expression.

After seeing that Su Xin opened her eyes, Shu Quan hurriedly covered up her expression, looking indifferent and stiff.

“Shu Quan, what’s wrong?”

Su Xin sat up with the support of her elbows and rubbed her eyes sleepily.

Shu Quan shook her head, biting her lip as if she was about to cry.

“Did anyone bully you?”

Su Xin was a little nervous seeing Shu Quan looking like this.

“Will Miss marry in the future?”

Shu Quan asked quietly after staying silent for a while.

“Huh? Didn’t you know that I’m with Her Majesty?”

Su Xin wondered why Shu Quan asked such a question, and suddenly remembered that Shu Quan was not too young. She had reached the age of marriage and probably couldn’t wait with her in this palace for a lifetime.

“Shu Quan, do you want to leave, or do you have someone you like?”

Shu Quan paled, and her expression dimmed.

“Shu Quan should also think of…”

Shu Quan murmured to herself. The Empress had been so obvious to her feelings towards Su Xin and still the girl hadn’t realised, let alone her.

“Miss has been asked to wash up, so you should go take a shower and change clothes.”

Shu Quan bent down and sighed inwardly.

Su Xin was a little confused, and went to the bath to wash, oblivious to what would come after she finished washing.

After taking a bath, Su Xin put on her clothes and walked out with wet hair.

Shu Quan went up to dry her hair, and shortly after breakfast, Su Xin’s hair was almost dry under the warm sun in the courtyard.

When Su Xin asked Shu Quan to tie her hair, Shu Quan did not move, so she changed her clothes first.

“Miss should change her clothes first, then Shu Quan will help you get ready.”

The clothes on the tray were bright red, so colorful; they were wedding clothes.

“Qu Feiqing…”

Su Xin easily guessed as she picked up the clothes, regardless of the fabric or the style, they were all obviously superior in taste.

Su Xin had clearly said that she didn’t need it. She curled her lips and put on a wedding gown. She had never experienced something like this before.

Shu Quan quietly looked at Su Xin, who was wearing the wedding dress, and blinked slowly. This kind of destiny was clearly not meant for her, nor could the dress ever be worn for her. She had realised this a long time ago.

In fact, Shu Quan never expected Su Xin to look at her in that way. More than once, she had thought about what the girl’s future would be like. Or, it was kind of like, when Su Xin met a person that she liked, Shu Quan wanted to stay by the girl’s side, no matter what the girl’s ending would be.

But still, Shu Quan had never expected this kind of outcome. Su Xin was far away from her country, away from the original town, and came to the Palace of another country. She even had an unclear relationship with Her Majesty, the Queen.

Girls can accept each other and end up together, but Shu Quan knew that even then she still had no chance.

Perhaps, for Su Xin, Shu Quan was just a very loyal servant. She had always been aware of her identity and did not dare to expect anything.

But on this day, she couldn’t even lick her wounds alone if she wanted to escape. She had to put on beautiful makeup for her Miss, then watch Su Xin with her own eyes, walk towards another person.

Su Xin saw Shu Quan’s dumbfounded expression and thought about Shu Juan’s reaction.

Fourteen, Shu Quan couldn’t have liked the original owner, right?

[Seems like it.]

It seemed what Shu Quan liked was the Xue Yao who rescued her from the suffering, not Su Xin.

Su Xin had a good memory. She remembered that when she first came through to this place, Shu Quan had said that she seemed a little different.

But most people obviously wouldn’t think of rebirth and crossing and things like that, and it was even more impossible for ancient people. After all, this kind of thing was far too strange.

Has the original owner completely disappeared?

[Yes.]

Su Xin waited for Shu Quan to put her makeup on. Many people and many things did not work out like what people wanted. Su Xin really couldn’t help Shu Quan in this case.

The person Shu Quan liked was dead now, and now living in this body was Su Xin who was trying to play the role of the original owner to help her fulfill her wish. Su Xin didn’t like Shu Quan that way, but simply thought she was a very cute girl, nothing else. Nothing.

Since there were no such feelings, there was no need to say anything more. Su Xin and Qu Feiqing were treating each other well now. They had recognized each other’s status and confirmed their relationship.

Shu Quan carefully helped Su Xin put her makeup on, and when she was done, she put her hair in a bun.

It was still daytime, by the time everything was done.

When it was auspicious, Shu Quan covered Su Xin with a red veil.

Su Xin got on the soft sedan chair and was carried to a place.

Su Xin felt that the sedan chair stopped for some time. She lowered her head, and a thin white hand appeared in her sight.

She got along with the owner of the hand and spent day and night together, so naturally she knew who it was.

Su Xin was carefully led off the sedan chair by Qu Feiqing, because she couldn’t see the road, so she could only move in Qu Feiqing’s direction.

“If you marry me, then you have no chance to ever go back.”

“I know.”

Only one tablet was placed in the position of Gaotang, which belonged to Qu Feiqing’s concubine mother.

(TN: Gaotang means elder/parent. Usually the parent(s) stand in this position to offer their blessings)

First, they had to worship heaven and earth.

Second, they had to worship the Gaotang. 

The couple finished worshipping.

And they were sent into the bridal chamber.

When they were worshipping, Su Xin’s forehead collided with Qu Feiqing, and they knew that they would be together for a long time in the future. Life would inevitably be bumpy, so it was good to be happy.

Su Xin’s memory that night was exceptionally clear, the swaying red candles, the symbols and characters posted on the walls, and Qu Feiqing with frowning eyebrows.

The flamboyant red colours had filled up the entire space, and the tangled kisses went from the corners of the eyes to the lips.

They took part in tying each other’s hair and rejoicing together.

Su Xin’s life was like a sweet sentimental drama, but it would come to an abrupt end one day.

On that day, they would have known each other for fourteen years.

Arc 1 Chapter 16: The Courtesan’s Daily Life

TL: Vaishu
ED: Anna
QC: Crazyformyself

Qu Feiqing sighed lightly, laid out a sheet of rice paper, and started to sketch.

She thought that she was obvious enough, so why did Su Xin still look completely unaware.

Did she really not know, or was she pretending to be ignorant?

Qu Feiqing’s mouth pressed into a thin line. It didn’t matter which it was, but if someone provoked her, they shouldn’t even think about running away.

Su Xin had willingly delivered herself to her door, and she was welcomed.

Qu Feiqing painted until late at night, and the candle in the lampshade had already burned to one-third. She blinked her tired eyes and looked at the painting.

The painting depicted a beautiful woman smiling in between the flowers.

Letting the paint dry, Qu Feiqing picked up her brush again and thought of signing an inscription on it. However, after a moment, she gave up.

Qu Feiqing lay on her bed after taking a bath. She was used to holding Su Xin to sleep from time to time, but now she felt a bit lonely and couldn’t sleep.

Qu Feiqing was a very selfish person. She didn’t want to give more love than the other person, wanting to be the sober one, but now she found out that it was so difficult to reduce her love even by just one point.

Feelings were not as light as people say. It would take a while to let them go.

On the other side, Su Xin was still very depressed, sitting on the bed with her eyes open and not sleepy.

“Miss, is there something on your mind?”

Shu Quan asked softly, with drooping eyes.

Shu Quan had grown more respectful and humble. She was now standing there, with a somewhat indifferent stance. Even the smile on her face was less bright, and she no longer shed tears in front of Su Xin.

“Nothing much. Shu Quan don’t you feel flustered in this palace, being locked up here for such a long time?”

“Miss feels bored in the palace?”

Instead of answering Su Xin’s question, Shu Quan asked one of her own.

“A little.”

Su Xin fiddled with the jade bead on her wrist, which was given to her by Qu Feiqing. She felt that it was a very precious thing.

“Can Miss bear to leave Her Majesty?”

Shu Quan tentatively asked. Su Xin’s movements stopped, and she looked up at Shu Quan.

Su Xin’s eyes were sharp like a needle, and this pricked Shu Quan’s heart.

“You knew my plans?”

“Miss never wanted to hide anything from Shu Quan, did she?”

Shu Quan smiled bitterly, she was Su Xin’s personal servant girl, she would follow Su Xin wherever she went, but she wasn’t blind, it was clear that Su Xin did not want her to follow, but rather wanted to run in the opposite direction to her Majesty.

“Why did you ask me if I was willing to leave her?”

Su Xin was curious about this. What did she show that gave Shu Quan the impression that she couldn’t live without Qu Feiqing?

“Doesn’t Miss like Her Majesty?”

Shu Quan clenched her fists, her heart was filled with sorrow.

“Huh? What? I don’t like her.”

Su Xin was at a loss. She had said there that she liked Qu Feiqing, but it was only affection for physical intimacy. It seemed like Qu Feiqing genuinely liked her.

Shu Quan looked at Su Xin blankly, without any expression on her face, and her voice was very soft.

“Miss you’re so cruel.”

[Host, you are such a scumbag.]

Fourteen couldn’t help but speak out.

“Uh?”

Su Xin was very innocent. She was also curious to understand why she was suddenly a scumbag.

Looking at Su Xin’s ignorant expression, Shu Quan sighed inwardly, not knowing whether to gloat or pity her.

“If Miss doesn’t like Her Majesty, why are you so obsessed with Her Majesty, looking for her every day.”

Since you don’t like a person, why do you give her the illusion that you like her?

She only remembered chatting about sexual affection, not talking about love! She thought she and Qu Feiqing had reached a consensus. Didn’t it happen?

Su Xin waved away Shu Quan, quietly thinking about life on the bed.

Fourteen, does everyone think I like Qu Feiqing?

[Seems like there isn’t anyone who doesn’t know.]

Su Xin sighed. In fact, she liked Qu Feiqing a lot. She liked Qu Feiqing’s character,  her face, and she liked to play with Qu Feiqing, but there was still something wrong.

[Will the host be angry if you see the Queen be with someone else?]

Regardless of whether I like her, why should I be angry, if she’s happy.

Su Xin was fond of Qu Feiqing because she liked being friends with benefits.

Fourteen could no longer speak, it didn’t understand this kind of thing, it just watched it. As long as the situation doesn’t get out of control, the host can do whatever she wants.

On the second day, Su Xin began to keep a distance from Qu Feiqing.

“Are you hiding from me?”

Qu Feiqing caught Su Xin, who was enjoying the flowers in the palace, instead of running away.

“No, I want to apologize to you.”

Su Xin said, as she shook her head.

“Oh? What did you do wrong?”

Hope rose in Qu Feiqing’s heart.

“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have made you think that I liked you…”

“It’s okay.”

Qu Feiqing didn’t wait for Su Xin to finish, and interrupted her, the coldness echoing in her chest, pumping pain.

“Do you hate me?”

“No, I think you are very nice, have a  good face, good personality, but…”

Su Xin looked at the ground and sighed.

[Host, you two are fools, can you shut up?]

Fourteen really didn’t want Su Xin to worry about this anymore.

“Needless to say.”

Qu Feiqing didn’t walk away, but took Su Xin’s hand and made a clear smile.

“Yesterday, the Imperial Cook developed a new pastry. I think it was not bad. You should try it.”

Qu Feiqing pulled Su Xin away, and Su Xin followed her in a daze.

Fourteen, this reaction was different from what I thought.

Fourteen did not want to speak, it was tired and did not want to make a scene.

Su Xin stared blankly at Qu Feiqing, who was feeding her pastries one by one, with a very confused expression.

Qu Feiqing looked at Su Xin’s perplexed and obedient look, with a smile on her face, the gloominess in her heart continued to increase.

If Su Xin could be very decisive, she might not adopt this kind of tenderness policy, but she always showed a feeling of dependence on her, which made Qu Feiqing sink deeper and deeper.

Su Xin looked soft and weak on the outside, and while it was not an exaggeration, she also had a very strong heart, just like a sharp sword.

Someone so strong would easily break. Qu Feiqing didn’t want to force her, but she didn’t want to let her go just like that.

Wasn’t this a good look now? Su Xin looked so good and so docile.

Why did Su Xin have to run away from her? Su Xin felt bored, so she was leaving. When she left, she would leave her here alone.

Su Xin broke into her heart and approached her first, so how could she just run away like this.

It was too selfish.

Qu Feiqing discovered that Su Xin had the kind of personality that was strong when she met a  strong character and weak when she met a weak character.

If you had a fight with Su Xin, it might also inspire Su Xin’s ambition. Qu Feiqing can see that Su Xin would definitely not be a person who was willing to resign.

But if it was that kind of particularly soft personality, like a knife wrapped in cotton wool, Su Xin would not know it. This was her weakness in character.

Qu Feiqing wiped off the cake residue from Su Xin’s lips, put it in her mouth and licked it off.

This action was very sensual, but also very natural.

Su Xin leaned in and exchanged a kiss with Qu Feiqing. It was greasy and done crookedly.

The two went back to the room and started doing it again. Su Xin, afterwards, felt extremely tired and fell asleep with her eyes closed.

Su Xin and Qu Feiqing seemed to have gone back to the past. Qu Feiqing was more caring for Su Xin, which made Su Xin feel a little weird, and she felt that she was not the only one.

Qu Feiyun and Su Xin got together again and gossiped. After all, Su Xin was too bored, and Qu Feiyun was also very leisurely. Two very leisurely people gathered together, drinking tea, chatting, reading, and talking about Qu Feiqing. .

“It seems that the Empress really likes you.”

Qu Feiyun propped her face, resting her elbows on the stone table.

“Um.”

Su Xin understood and nodded.

“But I always feel that something is wrong. How do I feel that the Empress petting you is the same as petting her little wife?”

Qu Feiyun changed her posture, supporting her face with her hands, and looking up and down Su Xin’s body.

Su Xin smiled and said nothing.

The whole palace knew that the Empress had a luthier who was kept in the harem and was extremely precious.

When Su Xin got up one day, she was about to get out of bed but found that her legs were numb and she almost couldn’t feel anything.

Su Xin didn’t feel that she was overdoing it. She was helped by Shu Juan onto the bed and asked Shu Quan to call for a doctor.

The imperial doctor came and couldn’t see anything. He prescribed a few patches of tonic and nourishing qi medicine and left.

Su Xin knew what was going on and sighed while sitting on the bed.

Qu Feiqing came, standing silently beside Su Xin’s bed, and reached out to touch Su Xin’s leg.

“I’ve already said that I won’t leave. Why don’t you believe it.”

Su Xin looked at Qu Feiqing, knowing that it was Qu Feiqing who did some tricks on her legs.

“You never said that.”

Qu Feiqing pursed her lips. This person has been looking for opportunities; maybe when she feels completely bored, or feels that the outside world was safe, she would want to leave again.

“I’m talking about it now.”

Su Xin curled her lips.

“I don’t like this, I’m going to be angry.”

Su Xin looked at Qu Feiqing with black and white eyes, speaking seriously.

“I won’t lie to you, I will stay with you forever”

Su Xin didn’t say anything when he saw that Qu Feiqing didn’t move, and poked Qu Feiqing’s hand.

Qu Feiqing was shocked, and she looked at Su Xin with disbelief.

She thought Su Xin was a wild horse that would never miss her chance to leave, but it seemed that this was not the case.

“Really?”

Qu Feiqing’s voice was a little hoarse. She looked down at Su Xin, still full of suspicion.

“Un.”

Su Xin nodded

She was very bored, yes, but her profession was constantly adventurous anyway, and when she was in a quiet and free place, she preferred to stay still.

Qu Feiqing was too kind to her, and that feeling eroded her desire to leave little by little.

As Qu Feiyun said, Qu Feiqing spoiled her very much, just like her wife.

Su Xin was soft-hearted. She still didn’t know the feeling of jealousy, and she couldn’t imagine that Qu Feiqing would be together with others.

Qu Feiqing was a capable lover. She would never give her the chance to be jealous.

“If you lie to me…”

Qu Feiqing’s hand gently stroked Su Xin’s knee. This time, it was a real promise. If she lied to her, then these legs were really unnecessary.

“I will not.”

Su Xin pressed against Qu Feiqing’s forehead and closed her eyes.

This life was so short, what do you do when you meet a good person.

In the second year after Su Xin came to the palace, something relatively important had happened. Qu Feiqing’s brother, Qu Xingchen’s father died, he had committed suicide.

Chapter 5- Good Student

TL: Zenith
ED: Arya
QC: Crazyformyself

Since being forced to sit at the same table, Mu Qi’s homework was always being completed punctually every day. Although it was copied, the teachers seemed to have reached a consensus to open one eye and close the other. They didn’t need to bicker about the details.

One month had passed since the first semester of high school. In this month, Su Yanxi gradually became acquainted with the students in the class. So when the class was over, many students would come to ask her questions. On her way home, people would also enthusiastically greet her.

As for Su Yanxi’s tablemate, everyone unanimously ignored each other.

Mu Qi would lie down on the desk and wanted to rest every day. But she found that she couldn’t even rest peacefully as there was too much chattering reaching her ears. She tried enduring it once or twice, but, at last, she lost her temper and flared up. However, to her dismay, not only were they not afraid of her, but they stared at her with contempt. So she could only curse irritably under her breath.

She stepped on the stool, then flipped over from the table behind, put her hands in her pockets and walked away.

The silhouette from the back looked very dashing, but at the same time it was also intimidating, and the people passing by would unconsciously move away.

Su Yanxi looked at the proud back, bit her lips, then smiled and rejected everyone’s questions. Lifting her heels, she walked out.

“Qi-Ge, where are you going?”

As soon as Su Yanxi walked out of the back door, she saw Hu Ying holding Mu Qi’s shoulders, and she was so frightened that she quickly hid in the corner and watched secretly.

“Find a place to sleep.” Mu Qi looked sleepy, looking like she couldn’t get enough sleep.

“Huh?” Hu Ying glanced back at the classroom suspiciously and said: “Don’t you usually sleep in the classroom?” With this glance, she just saw a person hiding behind the back door, and that person’s feet were exposed.

The person seemed to be shocked and quickly retracted their foot.

Hu Ying: “…”

Mu Qi didn’t notice this, so she waved her hand and replied, “Go to the class, I will go straight back and ask for a leave for myself.”

“No… Qi-ge, how would you find any reason to leave?” When Hu Ying heard she was looking for a reason to ask for leave, she felt a headache. She even had hemorrhoids and appendixes for Qi-ge, although she came out fine in school the next day. This kind of symptom did not accord with the patient’s appendix, and it lasted for a few days. As such, she had to face her class teacher’s suspicious gaze the whole time .

“Whatever.” Mu Qi didn’t need to worry about the rest of the matter, and she naturally doesn’t want to use her brain to think about it.  

Only Hu Ying was left alone, crying without tears.

She finally arrived at her old place. Climbing over the wall, Mu Qi walked towards home empty-handed. However, when she was approaching home, she turned around and ran towards the alley next to the community. There was an internet cafe here, with usually very few people.

Unexpectedly, when she arrived there, she found Qi Wei, the boss of their neighbouring high school.

At the same time, Qi Wei also saw her and immediately exploded. Jumping up from the seat, she glared at her angrily. “Why the hell are you here?” 

She didn’t want to see Mu Qi again, so she ran into this small Internet cafe. Unexpectedly, this Mu Qi was vicious, and she had also actually followed her all the way here.

Mu Qi was also a little surprised. She smiled and walked over. Placing her ass beside her, she glanced at the computer screen. Qi Wei wanted to turn the computer over before it was too late.

“Oh, it’s another non-mainstream gang vying for war.” Her tone was a little lazy as she said leisurely.

Qi Wei stared at her, then she also sat down and took a sip of the Coke beside her. After suppressing her anger, she asked: “Are you following me? Why are you here again, where I am?”

Mu Qi raised her eyebrows. As she puffed her cigarette she said, “I have a crush on you.”

Hearing that, Qi Wei choked on her coke.  

Mu Qi squinted at her, as her lazy gaze, under the smoke, appeared even more lazy, and her voice was low and as she questioned, “I haven’t asked you yet, why did you come here? Your home is in the north of the city.”  

“As long as I’m happy, I’ll come as I wish,” Qi Wei said shamelessly.

“Oh.” Mu Qi withdrew his gaze flatly and focused on the computer screen, obviously not interested in why the other party came here.  

Qi Wei: “…” Fuck, she couldn’t get angry when she saw this terribly silly face.

Tilting her head to see that the other party was watching a movie, she snorted and said,” you come back to the Internet cafe, just to watch a movie, What’s the point of it.”  

Mu Qi hooked her lips and laughed, saying, “Don’t your non-mainstream gangs also play with relish?”

Qi Wei was left speechless and didn’t wish to talk anymore.

so, one is watching a movie, and the other is playing a game, which is also quiet.

At night, there was more traffic in the Internet cafes, and more takeaways would be ordered.  

“Get up, let’s go together.” Mu Qi patted the shoulder of the person next to her.

“What?” Qi Wei was still doing her daily tasks and did not hear her clearly. Pulling down the earphones, she looked confusedly at her.  

“Wanna grab a drink, yes or no?” Mu Qi had already stood up at this moment. She was 1.73 meters tall, taller than most of the boys in school.  

“Let’s go!” Qi Wei told the gang members without pretense. Then she shut down the computer screen and left together.  

The duo went out of the Internet cafe one after the other.  

As soon as My Qi walked out of the Internet cafe, she was overwhelmed by the breeze of cold air.  

“Hey, this old lady is going to die in this cold!” Qi Wei exclaimed in exaggeration with her eyes wide-opened.  

Mu Qi glanced at her up and down, tugging the corner of her mouth and leaving.  

Qi Wei was puzzled by her look, but she didn’t rush to settle the scores and quietly followed her.  

The duo found a roadside barbecue stall, ordered a bunch of things, a few bottles of beer, and started eating.  

Mu Qi didn’t speak. She just wanted to find someone to accompany her to drink.  

Qi Wei saw that she was not interested in talking, so she also stopped looking for a topic.  

When Su Yanxi and Hu Ying passed through there for their evening study, they saw Mu Qi who was supposed to find a place to rest, here drinking and chatting with the boss of Linan Middle School. How could this scene not make Hu Ying angry, as she immediately ran over to them?  

Su Yanxi also clutched the schoolbag behind her and followed.  

“Qi-ge, what’s going on, why are you here with this stinky mushroom?” Hu Ying pointed at Qi Wei angrily, and looked at Mu Qi.

Mu Qi hadn’t spoken yet, and Qi Wei immediately exploded. This dull silence while drinking with Mu Qi had already irritated her, and she already could not hold back. There was finally a chance to speak now, so how could she miss it?

She patted the table and stood up, saying, “Who are you talking about? Believe it or not, I’m still the same as last time. I will make you cry!”  

When she remembered the shame about being beaten on the nose last time, Hu Ying stopped talking, and threw down her school bag shouting, “Come on, let’s see who beats whom to cry.”  

As soon as Mu Qi looked up, he noticed Su Yanxi standing two meters away. She said to the two people who had already gone crazy and grabbed each other’s hair, “Be careful, don’t hurt good students.”

This was obviously a reminder, but Su Yanxi inexplicably felt that the other party was ridiculing her. She pouted and walked over angrily, holding her school bag. Sitting next to Mu Qi, she took the wine glass, closed her eyes and drank the whole cup.  

After drinking, her face immediately flushed red, and she bent over while coughing.

This series of actions happened so fast that Mu Qi had no time to react, and the two people who had already grabbed each other’s clothes were dumbfounded.

“I’m drinking. I’m not a good student.” Su Yanxi’s eyes were moist, her cheeks ruddy, as she stared at Mu Qi sternly, and accused the other party of what she had just said.

Mu Qi couldn’t help but laugh, resting her elbow on the table and holding her forehead with her other hand. She laughed in a low voice, to the point where she couldn’t control it anymore.

Hu Ying and Qi Wei also stopped fighting and laughed while clutching their stomachs.

The people at the other tables heard the movement and looked over, but the three of them continued to laugh, regardless. Su Yanxi blushed all over, and even the roots of her ears turned red.

And after saying, ‘I’m drinking. I’m not a good student’, she completely broke into the small group of Mu Qi and the others.

The late autumn morning was still freezing, and the ground was covered with a thin layer of frost.

Mu Qi came out of the community and met Su Yanxi unexpectedly at the entrance. But when she saw a layer of water droplets on her hair, she knew she had been waiting there for a long time.  

Su Yanxi didn’t know that the tip of her nose was red right now, and the dew on her hair revealed that she had been waiting here for a long time.

“Qi-ge, you got up so early today.” Hu Ying hurried over with her schoolbag, only to find that Little Cutie was there, and immediately said, “Xiao Xixi, you are also very early.”

Su Yanxi blinked her eyes and said without batting an eye, “I just came here when I met Mu Qi.”

Mu Qi, who had seen through her lie, didn’t expose her. As she raised her foot and walked forward, she wondered, ‘Why does this girl come across here over and over again?’  

Hu Ying didn’t think so much. Instead, she felt that she could meet her here every day. This was simply fate. The more she thought about it, the happier she became. She patted Su Yanxi on the shoulder and said, “Xiao Xixi, you have fate with us.”

Mu Qi listened to their conversation while walking in front, and the corners of her mouth twitched, feeling a slight headache for her innocent friend.  

Su Yanxi heard it and smiled happily, nodding in agreement as she replied, “I think so too.”

Mu Qi massaged her forehead and quickened her pace.

Arc 1 Chapter 15: The Courtesan’s Daily Life

TL: Vaishu

QC: Crazyformyself

“What? Go away?”

Qu Feiyun was frightened and felt that the thought itself was quite unfathomable.

“No way.”

Qu Feiyun shook her head firmly.

“You cannot leave.”

“Why?”

Su Xin wondered why Qu Feiyun’s reaction was so big.

Qu Feiqing and Qu Feiyun did not have any familial relationship with each other. Both of them barely even engaged with each other.

When Qu Feiqing set off the bloody storm, Qu Feiyun was still a child. Qu Feiyun’s mother, who was also a concubine, was the type to protect themselves. She cleverly took Qu Feiyun away to avoid these messy things, blending into the background and not drawing too much attention to herself.

Qu Feiyun grew up without danger, but she was still very afraid of her sister, who became the Empress, and at the same time, she admired Qu Feiqing’s courage very much.

Qu Feiyun felt that there would be no woman as strange as her emperor sister in the world.

Regardless of her opinion, Qu Feiyun hoped that Qu Feiqing would be happier. She had realised that if Qu Feiqing was happy, then their lives would be better.

Qu Feiyun knew that after Su Xin arrived, the Empress sister’s mood was much better than before, and the previous aura of lifeless and fearful cold air was no longer there.

If Su Xin left like this, then the Empress would definitely become more frightening than before.

“Is this palace not good, why are you leaving?”

Qu Feiyun asked inexplicably, how many people wanted to enter the palace but didn’t have a chance to, however, this person wanted to leave.

“Is the royal sister treating you badly? If someone else spoke to her like you do, they would have died many times.” 

Qu Feiyun had seen Su Xin and Qu Feiqing together countless times. Yet, every time she saw them, she would sweat for Su Xin, afraid her sister would suddenly take out her blade and kill her. Even when Su Xin offended the Empress, she would not be angry but be happy instead. Even though Qu Feiyun didn’t understand, she knew that Su Xin occupied a large place in Qu Feiqing’s heart.

“Although the palace is beautiful, it is too boring here. I want to go out and explore. Also Princess, I’ve been meaning to ask- Why do you laugh so easily?”

Su Xin couldn’t help but add the question to the last bit of her sentence. She had always wondered why Qu Feiyun would laugh at everything, even if it was something so boring.

“You don’t like laughing, so are you telling me you just want to cry?”

Qu Feiyun shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly. She may seem crazy to others, but what about it? She lives her own life and others can’t control it.

“Even if it’s boring… it’s tolerable.”

Qu Feiyun was used to the way of the palace, but she didn’t think there was anything she could do about it.

Once the conversation ended, Qu Feiyun turned around and went to give a brief report to Qu Feiqing.

She tried to tell the conversation in verbatim right that moment, but instantly turned still once she accidentally caught sight of Qu Feiqing’s face.

Qu Feiqing stood on the other side of the room with an indecipherable mask and cold aura.

“You may leave.”

Qu Feiyun withdrew from the inner temple. Qu Feiqing brushed her hands on the small table in front of her.

Qu Feiqing knew this was not betrayal from Su Xin. After all, nothing was ever promised between the both of them.

Su Xin did not say the same scarring words as last time, but what she was about to do now didn’t make Qu Feiqing any happier.

Qu Feiqing let out a sneer, and she broke off a corner of the small table abruptly.

Did she want to just leave this all behind? It won’t be that easy.

When did her palace become a casual place where one could venture in and out freely?

What did Su Xin take her for? She treated Su Xin differently and was kind to her, but this was what she got in return.

Impossible, she would not allow it.

From the moment she had begun her plans for seizing the throne, she knew what she wanted—she had to hold tightly in her hands. Otherwise, she would escape or be taken away from her.

As per her usual habit, Qu Feiqing later went to Su Xin’s quarter for an evening dinner together.

After dinner, Qu Feiqing walked with Su Xin as usual. They walked a few laps in the palace, digested the food, and chatted along the way.

Qu Feiqing did not say anything, so Su Xin spoke first.

“I presume you must have known about it. Qu Feiyun must have told you.”

Su Xin stopped and stood on the small path, looking at Qu Feiqing.

It was evening, and the sun was emitting the last light of the day, dyeing half of the sky red.

It was getting dark.

“You wish to leave?”

Qu Feiqing looked at Su Xin’s eyes. She walked two steps closer and leaned close to Su Xin.

“Well… not really… It’s just that there’s nothing to do here. But if I have you, I will stay.”

Su Xin thought hard for a moment. In fact, she was not tired of the palace yet. In fact, it would be nice if she could go with Qu Feiqing, but that was impossible. She knew that Qu Feiqing couldn’t leave the palace to come with her.

Qu Feiqing was sitting in an extremely dangerous position as Empress. If Qu Feiqin came with her, Su Xin figured that she would just be putting Qu Feiqin’s life in constant jeopardy for her selfish desires. Besides, Su Xin thought she wasn’t someone important for Qu Feiqing to go through such lengths.

[Host… I don’t know whether to praise you for being smart or stupid…]

Fourteen was a system, so it doesn’t understand emotions, but at any rate, it has seen a lot of things from other hosts. It was not stupid and sweet. Anyway, in Fourteen’s opinion, Su Xin’s EQ was absolutely one of the lowest.

Qu Feiqing was at a loss, it’s only been 2 months. How was Su Xin already bored?

Qu Feiqing sighed inwardly, looking at Su Xin’s serious look, she didn’t know what to say.

Qu Feiqing didn’t know whether to say if Su Xin was really ruthless or just dense.

“Then… are you willing to follow me wherever I go?”

Qu Feiqing has dropped her usual title of referring to herself as ‘this emperor’ in front of Su Xin. She felt that the title didn’t represent who she was on the inside.

“Ah… this… not necessarily… after all, there’s nothing between us.”

“Nothing between us?”

Those four words, Qu Feiqing, almost seemed to pop out from between the teeth. They were extremely heavy. Her face was so cold that she caught Su Xin’s wrist.

“Are you saying you have nothing to do with me?”

Qu Feiqing was furious and laughed. Her expression was terrifying, but her voice was smiling, and she said it very lightly.

“Well, we aren’t family but more like friends.”

More like friends with benefits.

Su Xin felt bewildered. Why was Qu Feiqing so angry? It felt like Qu Feiqing couldn’t wait to swallow her alive.

Fourteen, did I do something wrong?

Since Su Xin wasn’t able to work it out, she decided to ask the system for help.

[Host, can’t you really feel that the Queen likes you?]

Huh? What the hell?

“You like me?”

Su Xin asked in surprise.

Qu Feiqing’s face changed. She let go of Su Xin’s hand and took a step back.

“What a joke. How could this dignified emperor like you?”

Qu Feiqing straightened up and gave a cordial smile.

Qu Feiqing felt that in this way, it seemed that she was the only one who had feelings, and she was like a fool, but the other person didn’t care at all.

That would be far too absurd.

Qu Feiqing obviously wanted to hold Su Xin in her palm, but in the face of such a straightforward inquiry, she couldn’t lose her pride.

“Oh, that’s a relief.”

  Su Xin breathed a sigh of relief, for her relationships always felt so solemn.

‘That’s a relief.

Those three words painfully pounded like a hammer repeatedly in Qu Feiqing’s heart.

“Then can I leave the palace?”

Su Xin immediately asked.

Fourteen wanted to cover its face, and couldn’t look at Qu Fei Qing at all. It felt that the host was no longer sprinkling salt on the human wound. Since the sprinkling of salt was over, she stepped on it with her feet, which was also not enough, and then she stabbed it again.

Su Xin was truly an ignorant person and was easily confused regarding matters of the heart. It made third-wheelers watching want to pull out their hair in frustration while at the same time feeling mournful.

“You can not.”

“Why?”

“You will die.”

“If you leave me, you will die.”

Qu Feiqing glanced over at Su Xin and said seriously.

“Huh?”

Su Xin raised her eyebrows.

“You are already bound to this Empress. You have been here long enough for the people in the imperial palace to recognize you as my person. This Emperor is unknowledgeable of the number of enemies she has. If you went out by yourself, this Empress won’t be able to guarantee your safety from the people who will target you because of me.”

Qu Feiqing’s heart was unchangeable. She didn’t want to threaten Su Xin. She was just stating the facts, but she felt very depressed about whether or not Su Xin would choose to stay.

Su Xin had wanted to say that she was not afraid, then she received a reminder from Fourteen.

[Host, let me remind you that the strength and agility of your body differ from your original body, and the value is much different. This era does not have the cold weapons that you are used to, and the humans in this world have a lot of internal strength.]

 It was better for weak and unarmed people without any ability in martial arts to remain quiet in the corner like chickens, they would not be given the opportunity to defend themselves in close combat.

Su Xin thought silently, contemplating the options.

While doing missions, she always fought alone. She was fast and accurate, always going away with a headshot. However, there was no gun here, and there was no internal force. Now some of her handy cold weapons are only daggers. Would the dagger help in a fight with people? If those people have internal strength, she probably won’t be able to get close enough to win.

“All right… I’ll stay. When will you be completely safe?”

Qu Feiqing shook her head, crestfallen. If she knew despite what was said, Su Xin would still want to leave, then she wouldn’t even have bothered to speak anymore.

Qu Feiqing walked back to Su Xin’s room silently, without uttering a word to Su Xin, then returning to her quarters afterwards. 

“Guess we’re not doing it tonight…”

Su Xin muttered to herself quietly.

Fourteen was praying silently for positivity, patience and for the heavens to shine a light on this dumb host. It felt immense sympathy for the Empress. The host was too dumb in these affairs that it was actually scary. Her ability to wield knives was truly first-class. It was already clear the other person has already suffered a lot of damage, yet it seems like they still have to suffer a little bit more under her knife .

Qu Feiqing returned to her bedroom and stood at the desk, upset.

Su Xin had asked her if she liked her.

How can this Empress like her?

Actually, she likes her a little bit.

Actually, it seems like more.

Actually, a lot.

Qu Feiqing unexpectedly wished she hadn’t become the Empress.

Su Xin made her happy.

You You looked around, and her eyes flickered as they swept past Mu Qing Xue, who had been watching their interactions.

In a lightbulb moment, You-You ran over to Mu Qing-Xue, her tone, expression, and attitude appearing very affectionate.

“Student Qing-Xue, did you also come here to play? It must be fate that we met here, so how about we stay together hmm?”

The girl in her arms was looking very beautiful, and as always, had an effect on her. However, this time it was different. Indeed quite different.

With calm eyes, Mu Qing-Xue looked closely into You-You’s clear and bright eyes, however, her expression was a bit distant. It was as though she was looking through You-You.

Mu Qing-Xue agreed softly, and her lips hooked up into a smile. Even her eyes shone a little.

“Mmm.”

Without noticing the change in Qing-Xue, You-You nodded and quickly turned to Ji Lin and Wei Yang with a smile, “Thank you for hanging out with me today, but I’ll be with Classmate Qing-Xue now, so…”

You guys should hurry up and leave now!

Everyone except Mu Qing-Xue understood the girl’s underlying meaning, and Ji Lin pursed his lips. However, Wei Yang stopped him from saying what he wanted to say.

“Hey Ji Lin, if we don’t leave, won’t we be late?!”

Ji Lin: …….

“I got it.”

With a slight sigh, Ji Lin looked at You-You, then at Mu Qing-Xue, then his gaze shifted back to You-You again.

—— “Don’t play games that are too exciting, don’t eat things that are too spicy or sour, and you’re not allowed to play past nine o’clock in the evening without going back home, you also can’t…”

A long list of things she wasn’t allowed to do was narrated to You-You, who bitterly buried her head in Mu Qing-Xue’s shoulder, reminding herself that she hadn’t heard anything, and that this was only an illusion. Damn fake rascal.

After waiting for the silence, You-You secretly glanced up, and pleasantly found that Ji Lin and Wei Yang were no longer there.

“Classmate Qing-Xue, shall we go back into the haunted house?”

After saying that, without waiting for Mu Qing-Xue;s reply, You-You dragged her over to the stall to buy tickets, coaxing: “The haunted house is really fun, Classmate Qing-Xue, you’ll really like it.” As for Ji Lin, You-You thought to herself that Bai Qu and Ji Lin might…

Hehe, she doesn’t know oh~

Looking at her wrist that was tightly gripped in the girl’s hand, Mu Qing-Xue’s gaze softened for a moment before it became cold and hard.

The haunted house was very familiar to Mu Qing-Xue who had been working in the amusement park for several months. She had even played some of the fake ghosts who You-You was praising several times.

So, when she discovered that You-You’s attention was on the unsightly, bloody, and gory props that were inferior to her, she couldn’t stand it. Walking over to a secluded corner with You-You, she kissed You-You into silence.

Why?!

Why can’t she focus all her attention on me?!

Honestly, why can’t you just look at me?!

Why do you still want to seduce and attract others so unscrupulously?!

Why must you make me angry?!

The kiss was filled with boundless anger, and their lips and teeth intertwined. However, after a while, a faint taste of blood came from You-You’s mouth and wafted into Mu Qing-Xue’s, permeating her tongue.

After tasting You-You, Mu Qing-Xue exerted more force and broke through her tongue. The taste of blood got even stronger.

“Wu Wu… ” 

You-You was very surprised. She had been caught off guard.

At first, she blinked blankly. However, when she came back to her senses, she struggled hard, while asking XI Xi for help.

‘Xi Xi, what’s wrong with Mu Qing-Xue? I don’t like this.’

[Host, the task target is currently emotionally unstable, so comfort her, go along with her, and try not to resist her.]

Seeing that the blackening bar had gone down a little, Xixi spoke more sincerely.

[Seriously host, you must not irritate the task target anymore.]

Irritate? When did she irritate her?

Puzzled, You-You sucked in a deep breath and turned pale. Her tongue had been bitten, and she broke out into a cold sweat.

Seriously, it’s too painful, wifey~

Because Xixi told her to stop struggling, You-You stilled and timidly hugged Mu Qing-Xue’s waist, trying to recall the white lotus appearance in her mind so that she could use it. But at that same time, You-You was already tearing up.

It seemed like she would shed tears at any moment.

It was just a pity that You-You’s docile behavior didn’t restrain Mu Qing-Xue.

She. Was. Addicted. To. This. Girl. And. Her. Beautiful Taste. Unable to extricate herself from her, her reason gradually lost in the fight with lust and desire.

A hand trailed down to the girl’s waist and reached within. You-You was startled, and hot teardrops started streaming down her cheeks.

Some also got dropped on Mu Qing-Xue’s face.

The tears awakened Mu Qing-Xue, and she pulled away from You-You’s face, wiping her tears and asking coldly: “Why are you crying?”
