“Where is Nan Xian? He told me that he’s here. Where did he go?”
Feng Ruqing did not know how to respond to that.
Suyi could locate her. Did Nan Xian tell her that?
Did Nan Xian know that she was going to come to Tian Shen Manor?
Feng Ruqing’s face darkened then. “Oh, he might be fooling around with Qing Zhu right now.”
Suyi frowned. “I can tell that Qing Zhu is not a nice snake. It has even kidnapped Nan Xian. Qing’er, don’t worry about it. I’ll brew a snake soup when we meet them next time. It could be accompanied by phoenix soup. It can help to strengthen your body.”
***
Qing Zhu could not help but sneeze even though it was far away from Tian Shen Manor. It stretched its head. It seemed dazzled.
“Did somebody just speak evil about me? It must be that charming snake! Master, are you sure that the charming snake would not pursue me all the way here?”
Nan Xian scanned Qing Zhu calmly.
Qing Zhu soon shut its mouth and it did not say anything more.
Soon, Nan Xian saw a young man standing on the surface of the water with a white phoenix. He appeared calm.
“Didn’t a princess called Princess Water Snake like you before?”
If Qing Zhu were a cat, its fur would surely be standing on its end when it heard what Nan Xian had just said.
But, Qing Zhu was only a snake. It did not react like a cat. It just straightened its body and remained in a guarding position.
“Master, what do you want now?”
Qing Zhu’s voice was filled with a plea.
It was a snake who has its own pride and dignity. It would never trade its body for some kind of business. It would never go and seduce another snake.
“Yes. You go and seduce it. Let their people refuse to help it to find its way.”
Qing Zhu almost burst into tears. “Master, although Princess Water Snake is charming, it’s too ferocious. I’m scared…”
Nan Xian became quiet again.
“Master, why don’t you do it yourself? Why?” Qing Zhu’s voice was trembling. “You’re able to do it yourself. Why do you want to sacrifice my dignity? I don’t want to do that!”
Nan Xian remained calm. “We need someone to be blamed if Qing’er knows about this.”
The underlying message was that Qing Zhu would be the scapegoat.
If Feng Ruqing was angry with what they had done, he could blame it on Qing Zhu.
Qing Zhu was shocked. It stared at Nan Xian helplessly. It could not even bring itself to cry.
He was unwilling to allow his rival in love to go and meet the princess. So, he pushed the pitiful snake forward to prevent that from happening.
“The princess will surely kill me and brew a snake soup out of me. It’s real.”
“Yes.” Nan Xian remained cold. “Qing’er has always yearned for a snake soup. If that’s the case, let her have the snake soup to strengthen her body.”
Qing Zhu soon exploded with anger. Its master was no longer the master he knew since he had met the princess.
He had no limit now.
“Master, I was just joking. Really.” Qing Zhu curled itself on Nan Xian’s arm like an obedient dog. “You’re the most respected master I have ever had. I’ll go to seduce the princess if you ask me to. I’ll do whatever you want even if you asked me to seduce a worm.”
Nan Xian kept quiet and it appeared that he had fallen into deep thought.
The look in his eyes scared Qing Zhu. Qing Zhu could not help but tremble. It soon remembered that there was indeed a worm who wanted to seduce it before.
It could not be helped. It was the most charming snake among the snakes. Every spirit beast wanted to seduce it.
“Actually, I was just joking.”
Nan Xian replied calmly, “Noted. I’ll remember what you said.”
Qing Zhu cried sadly. ‘Master, don’t you remember things for less than seven seconds only? I’m begging you now. Please forget what I have just said. Just assume that I did not say anything. Is that okay?”
Nan Xian pulled Qing Zhu away from his arm. Then, he threw it aside expressionlessly.
