Chapter 42: There’s a Snake in the Room?!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Liu Yuan squatted under the table and looked at the four legs in front of him.

Ning Xiangrong was barefooted under her soft white dress.

She was as flawless as the flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water. Her skin was as fair as snow, and her skin was so delicate that it could break at the slightest touch.

Even her feet were like this, a pair of beautiful bare feet like jade bamboo shoots, her toes were as exquisite as pearls, and her nails were neat with a pink color.

Compared to Fu Huan’s skinny feet, Ning Xiangrong’s lines were soft, beautiful, and full. Looking at her feet made him want to pinch them.

At this moment, Ning Xiangrong was a little stiff because of her nervousness. Her two feet were quietly placed on the ground. Liu Yuan had the sudden desire to tease her.

In comparison, Gu Siyin’s two little feet were very restless.

Her little feet, which were wearing cotton embroidered shoes, were twisted together and shaking. She looked very nervous.

Liu Yuan could imagine that the feet in this pair of small embroidered shoes must be as small and cute as Siyin’s.

Why did this scene feel a little familiar?

Gu Siyin looked at Ning Xiangrong nervously and tried to puff up her chest, appearing more confident. “Sister Ning, I want to talk to you about Brother Junxuan, but I don’t want him to know.”

… Brother Jun Xuan is right beside your legs.

Ning Xiangrong felt helpless and did not know whether to laugh or cry, but now that he was hiding, it would be embarrassing to let him out again, so she had to keep quiet for the time being.

“If you want to talk about our relationship,” She said softly, “you don’t have to urge me to come out just to find him. I’ll take him to see my father at Water Moon Dock tomorrow.”

‘If you didn’t come over today, I would be his.’ Ning Xiangrong thought, feeling a little bitter.

Gu Siyin was once again hit by a curve ball. Although she was already mentally prepared, she still pouted and tears welled up in her eyes. She lowered her head and looked at her feet and said in a muffled voice, “I… I know. I’m not here to be jealous or to be unreasonable. I just want to ask what kind of a past Brother Junxuan has.”

Ning Xiangrong saw the girl’s aggrieved appearance and actually felt some empathy in her heart. She did not know if this guy had seduced other women in the past three years.

Coupled with the emotions from being interrupted, Ning Xiangrong’s heart was filled with anger for a moment. She raised her leg under the table and gently kicked Liu Yuan.

She stretched out her hand and touched the young girl’s head, and said softly, “Actually, I’m not too sure either. He was in a daze at that time.”

The two of them began to talk.

Liu Yuan’s gaze fell on the bare foot in his hand that was trying to break free. Listening to Ning Xiangrong’s calm words, his expression was subtle.

Ning Xiangrong continued, “At that time, he suddenly appeared in front of me. I didn’t know who he was, how could he have such high cultivation to be able to escape all the guards and restrictions of the Water Moon Dock, and just came to the pool where I usually bathe.”

Gu Siyin blinked her eyes. “Bath?”

Ning Xiangrong’s face turned red, and she nodded. This was the first time she had mentioned this to someone else. “He stole my change of clothes and looked at me with a sneaky smile. I was very angry at that time, but my clothes were gone, so I didn’t dare to go up. I could only scold him for being shameless while being in the water.”

She emphasized the word ‘shameless’.

Gu Siyin was in a daze. She thought about that scene and her face turned red. “Brother Junxuan, he … Why is he like this?”

Ning Xiangrong thought she was jealous and explained, “He only stole the clothes and hid them. He didn’t do anything else, but chatted with me and talked about many interesting things. Day after day, I was only angry at first, but later I couldn’t help but be attracted to him. To be honest, he was the strangest person I had ever met at that time. He was completely different from the other people in Water Moon Dock, who only knew how to spend the day numbly. He was like a person from another world, full of different and rich colors. It made me feel like those dull and boring days were black and white, without any fun at all.”

When she reached the end of her sentence, it was more like she was mumbling to herself.

“I don’t know when it started, but I started looking forward to his arrival to tell me how vast and interesting this world is. It’s not just the flowers and trees in the small pond of Water Moon Dock. Those people who scheme against each other and chase after benefits are like busy ants, but they’re actually just building a small cage in the world.”

Ning Xiangrong restrained the light in her eyes and looked a little sad. “But one day, he never came again. I even thought that I had lost everything. I left Water Moon Dock and went outside to look for him. I wanted to see what the world he let me see was like.”

She lifted her head, sorted out her emotions, and smiled at Gu Siyin. “I’m not disappointed. I’ve been to the central, western, and northern parts of the Central Continent in the past three years. I’ve seen many people and things, but Liu junxuan has left a deeper and deeper impression in my heart.”

Gu Siyin was entranced and felt like she was looking at Liu Yuan from a completely different perspective. She asked curiously, “Sister Ning, in the past, you only stayed in Water Moon Dock and never went out?”

“Never. I was only thinking about cultivation at that time. What about you? Didn’t you also stay in Chiyu Villa?” Ning Xiangrong asked with a smile.

Gu Siyin puffed up her cheeks in envy and said, “I want to go out too, but my father always thinks that my skills are too shallow and my mind is not steady enough. I’m easy to be taken advantage of.”

“He kept you in the villa, but you were still kidnapped by some bastard.” Ning Xiangrong suddenly smiled.

The tips of her ears were a little red, and she was entranced by the long conversation. After it ended, she finally remembered that her foot was still in the hands of the bastard.

Ning Xiangrong moved her other foot, trying to pull it out.

Gu Siyin blushed. “What do you mean kidnapped? Brother Junxuan didn’t kidnap me. It’s… It’s me who likes Brother Junxuan. He takes care of me and is very considerate. No matter how willful I am, he’s always very good to me. He’s generous, reliable, and gentle like jade. He’s much more gentlemanly than those people who claim to be gentlemanly.”

“That’s why I can’t imagine brother Jun Xuan stealing Sister Ning’s clothes.” The little loli’s tone was somewhat inconceivable, and she said in distress, “Could a person change so much in three years?”

Ning Xiangrong thought of the change in Liu Yuan’s cultivation, sighed, and said, “I didn’t ask, but I know that his experiences in the past three years must be more amazing than mine!”

Gu Siyin saw that the smile on Ning Xiangrong’s face suddenly froze.

Then, she stood up and took two steps back. She looked at her feet.

Gu Siyin subconsciously followed her line of sight and saw a few red bite marks on her delicate, fair, bare feet.

“There’s a snake in the room?!”

Gu Siyin panicked and exclaimed. She quickly reached out and removed the tablecloth.
