The Husky and His White Cat Shizun - Chap 152
The Lady Boss had just loosened the door latch. She yawned and stretched lazily, preparing to do business. She was sleepy when she suddenly saw a tall and handsome man standing in front of her shop under the bright morning light. He had an imposing appearance and a tall and straight posture. He should be accompanied by a sword and a saber, walking coldly through the market, ignoring everyone.
But this handsome man was smiling. The dimples on his cheeks were faint, and his eyelashes were thick and gentle.
In his arms, he was holding a bamboo basket. The basket was not filled with spirit stones, spiritual materials, or spell scrolls. Instead, it was filled with fresh fruits and vegetables. The apples were bright red, the radishes were white and fat, and the lettuce was lush and verdant. The dew on the leaves was crystal clear.
It was set off by his handsome face.
The Lady Boss froze in the middle of her yawn. She stared blankly at the scene in front of her that was both iron-blooded and tender. She blinked and couldn’t come back to her senses for a long time.
“Lady Boss?”
“Hey, what do you want?”
“Just this.” Mo Ran picked up a pair of light red crystal pendants. “How much are you selling them?”
“You have good taste, Young Master. This pair of pendants is made of the best Dragon Blood Crystal. They were carved by the craftsmen of the Kunlun Palace. Although the material is not expensive, the pendants themselves are very special. You must know about Dragon Blood Crystal. It will turn red as the wearer’s body temperature rises …”
At this point, the Lady Boss smiled. “Since the Immortal Monarch has taken a fancy to a pair, then you should want to share one with your Dao Companion, right? Aiyo, I wonder which fairy is so lucky to be able to get acquainted with you. If you buy the pendants, you won’t lose anything. When you go back and wear them, it will be quite interesting to see them when you Dao partner. ”
Mo Ran originally bought the pendants because he thought that Dragon Blood Crystal was the best product to warm the cold body. Chu Wanning was afraid of the cold in winter, so it was best to wear it to ward off the cold.
But when he heard the Lady Boss say this, his heart couldn’t help but be moved. He thought of the pendant hanging around Chu Wanning’s neck. Because of its owner’s high body temperature, the pendant was bright red and dripping, like a trembling drop of blood on the tip of a knife.
He coughed lightly and said, “I’ll take this one. Wrap it up for me.”
In order to not let Chu Wanning feel strange, Mo Ran also bought a gift for Xue Meng, Xue Zhengyong, and Madam Wang. After returning to the inn, he put down the miscellaneous things and took out the small paper bag that contained the dragon blood crystal. The teardrop-shaped pendants inside had already turned crimson because of his body temperature. He picked one and hung the other one around his neck …
When he was done, he adjusted his clothes to ensure that the pendant would not be exposed. Then, he picked up the remaining pendant and wrapped it up again.
He touched his collar and felt that his heart was beating a little faster. He had experienced all kinds of absurd things in his previous life. Now, he was actually panicking because of this little secret hidden under his clothes. He couldn’t help but feel surprised at himself.
“For me?”
During the meal, Xue Meng held the sword tassel that Mo Ran had given him and looked as if he had seen a ghost.
“Why are you giving me this? Don’t tell me that you want to apologize to me because of what happened yesterday? ”
When it came to what happened last night, Mo Ran did not know that Chu Wanning was awake at the time, so he was quite calm and did not make a sound.
However, Chu Wanning could not bear it and picked up the teacup in front of him. His throat moved, and he drank a few mouthfuls of herbal tea to hide his emotions. Only then did he adjust his expression.
Mo Ran smiled at Xue Meng and said, “What are you thinking about? You were the one who provoked me first. I thought this was pretty, so I bought it for you to wear. ”
He paused and said, “It’s rare for us to come out together, so we should buy some things. I also bought things for Shizun, Uncle, and Auntie. They’re all small trinkets that are not worth much. ”
“We also got something?” Madam Wang was very surprised.
“Auntie got a sandalwood powder box, Uncle got a folding fan pendant.” As Mo Ran spoke, he presented the gifts and finally gave the dragon blood crystal to Chu Wanning. “And this, it’s for Shizun.”
“… What is it?”
“A pendant.” Mo Ran’s palm was warm and sweaty. “The dragon blood crystal can drive away the cold. Linyi produces this kind of stone, so I bought it for Shizun to warm his body.”
Chu Wanning took it. This type of stone was not expensive, but it was very useful. He said, “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome. Shizun, why don’t you put it on and take a look?”
Chu Wanning glanced at Mo Ran, but did not see through Mo Ran’s intimate and intimate intentions, so he naturally put it on his neck. The light red crystal shone brightly. Xue Meng looked and could not help but say, “It looks good. This is not bad, better than my sword tassel. Where did you buy it? I also want to get one to wear. ”
Mo Ran said, “No, this is the only one in the entire stall. I also want one, but I can’t buy one.”
Xue Meng was disappointed. He picked up his own sword tassel and looked at it, then turned his head to look at the dragon blood crystal on Chu Wanning’s neck. He muttered, “… I don’t believe it. In any case, there are many of these things in Linyi. When we get to Confucian Wind Sect, I’ll go ask Nangong Si. He’ll definitely have a lot, piled up like a mountain …”
Mo Ran ignored him and looked at Chu Wanning. He saw that after Chu Wanning put on the pendant, he did not put it in his body, but hung it outside his lapel. He could not help but feel anxious. After a while, he could not hold back and said, “Shizun, this pendant is not to be hung outside.”
“Hm?”
“It has to be put inside you.” As he said this, he leaned over to help Chu Wanning put the pendant in. He was suddenly too close, and while speaking, his breath burned Chu Wanning’s ear. Chu Wanning pushed him away.
Chu Wanning lowered his eyes, his expression looking very cold. However, Mo Ran looked carefully this time. He saw that Chu Wanning’s ear was suffused with a layer of crimson begonia flowers. It was both pitiful and cute, making people want to kiss it and suck on those trembling petals.
Mo Ran was a little surprised. He was thinking, why did Chu Wanning’s face turn red?
He did not seem to have done anything excessive. If it was to help him play with the pendant, then it was not that big of a deal …
After thinking about it carefully, he remembered what he had just said.
“It has to be put inside you.”
Mo Ran stared blankly for a moment, then his face suddenly turned red. If his skin was not so much darker than Chu Wanning’s, he was afraid that his face would look even redder than Chu Wanning’s.
He swore that when he said those words, he really did not mean to make a pun …
He immediately felt astonished. He thought to himself that if he did not think wrongly, how could such a righteous person like Chu Wanning think wrongly?
Mo Ran pondered, but could not figure it out. Until Chu Wanning’s ears were red, his face was dark, and he silently stuffed the pendant into his lapel, he still could not figure out the reason.
The previous night, because of a wooden wall that was three fingers wide, the Celestial Treading Monarch had missed too many exciting moments. He had missed the spring and the inexperience. He had also missed Chu Wanning who had fallen into the swamp of lust. He did not know anything about what happened on the bed next to the wall, so of course he would not understand. At this moment, Chu Wanning was still wrapped in the mire of yesterday. He was throbbing because of lust, ashamed because of lust, and sensitive because of lust.
Because of that dream, because of the words on the bed in the dream, because of the thoughts that he did not want others to find out, he acted out of character and misunderstood this simple sentence.
Chu Wanning looked up at him and felt a little warm in his heart. Yesterday’s evil fire had not completely subsided. He reached out his hand —
The teapot’s handle was held by Mo Ran.
“Drink less. This tea is cold, it’s bad for the stomach.”
“…” Chu Wanning did not make a sound. He looked at him, his hand still extended, indicating that he wanted to drink the herbal tea.
“I’ll go get you a hot cup.”
“No need …”
But Mo Ran had already gone to find the shopkeeper. After a while, he came back with a pot of freshly boiled hot tea and poured a cup for Chu Wanning. “Shizun, drink this.”
“Yes, Yuheng, drink hot tea. It’s not good to drink cold tea. It really hurts.”
Chu Wanning had no choice but to take the cup of hot tea. He blew on it, but did not drink it. He put it by his hand.
His heart was already very hot.
If it continued to heat up, he was afraid that the last layer of thin ice in his eyes would melt. When that time came, the endless spring water would overflow. When he looked up and stared, he would no longer be able to hide those shameful thoughts.
Then where would he put his face as the Immortal of Northern Dipper?
The group finished early. When they were preparing to leave the inn, a group of people came in.
The leader was wearing a thick, light blue cloak with curly grass patterns. His face was covered, and he seemed to be very low-key. He wouldn’t be noticed in a crowd, but when he entered the inn and saw Xue Zhengyong, he took the initiative to walk over and bowed politely.
“Hello, Uncle Xue.”
“You are …”
That person took off his cloak and hat. When Xue Meng saw him, he let out an “ah” and took a large step back. Xue Zhengyong laughed. “Aiya, isn’t this Hanxue?”
Mei Hanxue raised his face. He was born with white skin, a high nose, distinct eyebrows, and deep eyes. There was a kind of heroic handsomeness that was clearly different from the others. Moreover, this person’s skin was extremely good. Even though the room was dim, it still emitted a faint light. Perhaps it was because he grew up in the extremely cold snowy lands of Kunlun, but his face was soaked in a frosty aura, appearing both pure and aloof.
In short, just by looking at his temperament, no one would believe that he was that world-famous romantic seed, Mei Hanxue.
“Something happened in the palace. This one only came to Linyi today. I did not expect to meet Uncle Xue here.” Mei Hanxue’s appearance was too cold. Although he smiled politely, his eyes were clear and indifferent, respectfully carrying a chill. “This little nephew has come to pay respects to Uncle and Auntie.”
“Very good, very good. Aiya, if only Meng ‘er was as polite as you are.”
Unexpectedly, when Xue Meng heard this, he was not happy. From behind, he continuously shot small poisonous arrows at Mei Hanxue, each one more vicious than the last.
He thought to himself, this grandson Mei Hanxue! One set in front of people and one set behind them! He was clearly a stinking hooligan who ate both men and women. Back in the Peach Blossom Spring, he even reached out to touch his waist. Now, standing in front of his elders, he was serious and cut off all feelings like an eminent monk. This guy really can act!
Mei Hanxue did not even look at his childhood playmate. He only lowered his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes. Even the width of his lips was not large. He was extremely well-behaved. “Uncle is joking. Young Master Xue is a proud son of heaven. He is the number one champion of the Spirit Mountain Conference. Naturally, he has his outstanding points.”
“That’s right, father. This guy is my defeated opponent.”
“Meng ‘er …” Madam Wang was quite embarrassed. She reached out to pull Xue Meng. This irritable Feng’ er finally hummed and did not utter a word. However, flames were still coming out of his nostrils.
Mei Hanxue said, “Uncle, are you going to Confucian Wind Sect?”
“It’s about time. It doesn’t matter if we go earlier. In any case, Nangong Liu is not lacking rooms. Didn’t he say that in the month before and after the wedding, Confucian Wind Sect will empty an entire immortal city for guests to stay in?” Xue Zhengyong said with a smile. “Let’s go take a look first. It’s also good to let the younger generation have more contact with each other.”
As he spoke, he glanced at Xue Meng. The implication was that he wanted to find a wife for Xue Meng.
Xue Meng, “…”
“Hanxue, you’re not going directly to Confucian Wind Sect?”
“Asgard Master gave me some instructions. He wants to buy a lot of spirit stones, so I’ll stay in the vicinity of Dai City for a few more days. I’ll go the day before the wedding. It’s not too late.”
Xue Meng whispered, “You’re obviously afraid that if you go early, those girls from the famous righteous sects who were disappointed by you will chase after you and beat you into a dog.”
Mo Ran’s ears were sharp. He smiled and said, “Meng ‘meng, what did you say? What dog? ”
“…”
Xue Meng snorted and crossed his arms. “It’s nothing. Where’s the Incantation Method?”
“Pfft, I’m afraid you’re reciting the Plum Breaking Incantation.”
“You’re talking nonsense again!”
Mei Hanxue listened to them and finally glanced at them. Xue Meng’s gaze met his and suddenly he was slightly startled.
He felt that something was wrong. This Mei Hanxue was strange. The last time he saw him in the Peach Blossom Spring, that grandson’s eyes were filled with peach blossoms. Those eyes seemed to be smiling when they were angry.
But this person in front of him, not to mention peach blossoms, there was not even a ripple in his eyes. His entire body was cold, neat, and restrained. Those eyes seemed to be angry when they were smiling.
Xue Meng blinked and paused for a moment. He thought about how Mei Hanxue led the disciples of the Treading Snow Palace to help during the Heaven-Splitting War. In front of everyone, he was also acting like a dog. He could not help but become angry. How could this guy be so good at acting? How could he be so pretentious? He was really a beast in human face! Refined scum!
“Hey, Meng ‘er, where are you going?”
“It’s too stuffy in the house! I’ll wait for you outside. Come out after you’re done talking! ” Xue Meng said and strode to the door. He lifted the curtain and angrily walked out. This proud son of heaven was really wronged.
He was puzzled. The house was full of scum. How come no one other than him could see it?
So angry!
