Chapter 48: Releasing Lanterns

ds it.” He placed the bone knife back into Xiao Yuge's hand, “Tomorrow is your coming-of-age ceremony. I can't show myself, so I'm giving you this gift a day early. I hope you like it!”"Like! I love i...Mingyang turned his face away, unable to bear the sight of the bloody and mangled mess.

"I still have some things to attend to, you should go back first." Qian Tingxuan's figure flickered and he soon vanished into the night.

Mingyang glanced at the pool of blood and flesh on the ground, shook his head, and then turned to leave.

Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night. Every lady who had gone to Lanshan Temple today and returned home, without exception, all found countless snakes in their homes. The startled dreamers were terrified, screaming and crying, creating chaos...

Xiao Yu Ge was woken up by a nightmare again, she couldn't fall asleep anymore, so she went to the courtyard, practicing her martial arts under the moonlight.

A gentle breeze rustled past, bringing with it the sound of fluttering garments. She let out a soft cry, "Who" Quickly fastening a poisoned dart in her hand, she whirled around, only to be met with surprise. "How could it be you"

"How can it not be me Does that little song think it's someone else" Qian Tingxuan pulled her over and checked her injured arm. "Have you applied medicine"

"It's just a minor scratch, no need for medicine." Xiao Yu Ge withdrew her hand: "The esteemed King of Freedom would break into this lady's boudoir at night, wouldn't you be afraid of damaging your reputation"

Here's the translation:

"Everyone says I'm a playboy with countless lovers and confidantes. My reputation is long gone. What Are you afraid" He leaned in close to her.

“Of course I’m scared, I’m getting married soon. If anyone saw this, ten mouths wouldn’t be enough to explain it.” This man clearly intended to ruin her.

"Marriage Little Ge'er, it seems you haven't taken my words from this morning to heart." Qian Tingxuan suddenly domineeringly pulled her into his embrace.

"What are you doing" Xiao Yuge was still frightened by his actions, wanting to push him away, but his hands were like locks.

"Don't worry, Your Highness doesn't want to do anything right now. All I want is to hold you like this. However, if you dare mention marriage again, I can't guarantee what I'll do next." Qian Tingxuan buried his face in her neck. Mmm, it was still the familiar scent from memory. This scent always calmed the turmoil in his heart.

"Are you insane Breaking into my room in the middle of the night is bad enough, but this... Do you even understand what it means to respect boundaries between men and women" Xiao Yuge was truly exasperated with this man. He just randomly hugged her and took advantage of her whenever he felt like it. The worst part was that she couldn't beat him! It was so frustrating.

"Men and women are different When Chu Tianqi hugged you today, you didn't say that." Qian Tingxuan's tone sounded sour.

"He's my brother!" Xiao Yu Ge frowned. This man couldn't have figured something out, could he The faint scent of dragon musk on him seemed to seep into her bones through her neck, making her inexplicably flustered.

"Fake! There's no blood relation." For some reason, he just felt that Chu Tianqi's gaze on her was off.

Xiao Yu Ge, upon hearing this, suddenly raised her eyes and landed them in his gaze, like a brilliant starry river. Her heart skipped a beat. This look...

This is a placeholder.

"Want to go out and play" His voice was full of a seductive tone.

Here's the translation:

"Under certain conditions..." He held her, and with a few leaps, they effortlessly arrived at the marketplace.

"Forget it!" Xiao Yuge knew he wouldn't agree easily. She pouted and walked towards the crowd on her own. This Zhongyuan Festival was really lively. Even this late, the streets were still bustling with people, though mostly in pairs.

"Why didn't you ask what my conditions were" Qiantingxuan followed after him.

"Anything good ever come from him You can't expect pearls from a pig, can you" Xiao Yuge knew he was no good, wouldn't fall for his tricks. But as soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and found him gone.

What, is he getting angry now And just left her all alone here

Anyway, since she's already here, she might as well take a look around before going back. As she strolled to the riverbank, just about to go down for a closer look, a man in white scholar's robes came up beside her.

"Miss, are you coming alone to release a lantern" The man was handsome and looked very polite. His eyes couldn't hide their admiration as he looked at Xiao Yuge.

"I..." Xiao Yuge was about to say something.

"She's not alone, she has me!" At this, Qian Tingxuan walked over and naturally embraced Xiao Yuge. His eyes and actions were telling the white-clothed scholar without a doubt that Xiao Yuge was his.

"Sorry to bother you!" The overwhelming sense of pressure that came with the words instantly filled the scholar in white with fear, making him too afraid to stay any longer.

"Where are you going" Xiao Yuge asked in a voice that was both soft and sharp, pushing his hand off her shoulder.

"I went and bought these," Qian Tingxuan said, as if by magic, pulling out two lanterns.

"What a beautiful lantern!" Xiao Yu Ge's eyes lit up instantly. In her past life, she also wanted to release lanterns with Qian Si Chen, but unfortunately, every year on the Zhongyuan Festival, Qian Si Chen would only secretly take Xiao Yu Fu out.

"There's no one over there, let's go there instead." Qianting Xuan pulled her to the other side of the floating bridge, saying as they walked, "I heard that if you make a wish facing the river lanterns, it will definitely come true. Xiaoge'er, what do you want to wish for"

Xiao Yu Ge sat on the stone bridge, bending down to put the river lantern into the river: "A distinguished king would actually believe such a market rumor, how naive!" Gazing at the gradually disappearing flower lanterns, she pondered: If it were really that effective, would her wish just now come true

"Some believe, some don't. Why don't you ask me what I wished for" Qian Tingxuan sat beside her, their figures intertwined in the reflection of the water. They looked so well-matched together.

"Then what wish did you make" Xiao Yuge asked casually.

Qianting Xuan tilted his head to look at her, his gaze warm and tender, just like the gentle and affectionate young man in a girl's heart: "My wish is that all your wishes come true."

Xiao Yu Ge was stunned and raised her eyes. Their gazes met, and for some reason, she suddenly felt that all the stars in the sky seemed to have fallen into his eyes, so dazzling and captivating.

"Touched" Qian Tingxuan smiled and ruffled her hair.

Xiao Yu's song came back to her senses, her face turning cold: "Don't use the way you coax those women outside on me."

"You're different from them." Qian Tingxuan lay on the floating bridge with his head in his hands: "You're the second woman to accompany me in releasing lanterns." her illness, she would actually guess it right.“Hmm.” Mu Cang nodded vigorously, his handsome face filled with gratitude: “After receiving your advice that time, I returned to Tianzhu and used your m...
