Pretty Fox: Misunderstood His Royal Highness

Chapter 24 How Do You Like Him? 1
Far, far away, a watchman passed by, and with a copper gong, he knocked three times, "Boom! Boom! Boom!"Then, a man's slightly hoarse but full of air voice came faintly in the wind:
"Sound the gong, close the doors and windows, and watch out for candles!"

Then, "Boom! Boom! Boom!" knocked three times, and the faint voice of the watchman sounded again: "Early to bed and early to rise, exercise!"

　The sound gradually faded away until it could not be heard.

　Ah, midnight.The night was getting deeper and deeper, and the air became colder.The moon outside the window was big and round, like a bright mirror, inlaid in the dark blue night sky, shining brightly in white.

　Ye Qiqi yawned, feeling sleepy.

　Before he knew it, Ye Qiqi's head fell on the back of the chair, and his eyelids began to fight, as if they weighed a thousand catties.The drowsiness became more and more drowsy, and the drowsiness finally tilted his head, and he went to Zhou Ding for a date.

　Ye Qiqi had a dream.

In the dream, Ye Qiqi saw her own soul, swimming out of her human body, drifting to the heights of the void, gliding in the endless space.While panicking, a dazzling and blurred white light flashed in front of her eyes.After the white light passed, she felt her soul drifting towards Langya Mountain.

Floating over the familiar hill, a large forest, the bamboo forest where he used to play, and the beautiful valley... Finally, Ye Qiqi saw the long-lost Langya Cave.

Ye Qiqi's soul lightly passed through the waterfall and walked into the cave.

Yu Xueji was in the deepest and darkest part of the cave, facing a night pearl as big as the mouth of a bowl, concentrating on cultivation.The pearl of the night is beautiful in color, crystal clear, translucent, and emits dazzling and colorful light in the dark.Yu Xueji was surrounded by dazzling and colorful lights, breathing in, inhaling, inhaling again, inhaling... Ye Mingzhu was under the control of her two palms, going up and down...

Ye Qiqi walked closer.

At this time, Yu Xueji stopped practicing, and Ye Mingzhu fell steadily into her palm.Yu Xueji took a piece of black cloth and wrapped Ye Mingzhu carefully, layer by layer.The dazzling and colorful light of the night pearl was shrouded in black cloth, and it could no longer be seen.

After putting Ye Mingzhu away, Yu Xueji turned her head and looked in the direction of Ye Qiqi.He said coldly, "Are you back?"

Ye Qiqi was surprised: "Mother, can you see me?"

Yu Xueji snorted: "Is my 1000 years of cultivation in vain?" She said again: "If I hadn't recruited you back, would you have come back like this?"

Ye Qiqi suddenly realized: "So it was your mother who recruited me back."

Yu Xueji said: "Yes."

Ye Qiqi was curious.Can't help but ask: "Mother, is that luminous pearl just now the unique and rare treasure that the snake demon Hu Qingmei said?"

Yu Xueji said: "Yes."

Ye Qiqi tilted his head, and asked again: "Why haven't I seen it before?"

Yu Xueji glanced at her: "You are an ordinary thing, even if Ye Mingzhu is placed in front of you, you will not recognize it."

Ye Qiqi was not convinced.I muttered to myself: "I just don't recognize it as a night pearl, but seeing the dazzling and colorful light, I know it's a treasure, right?"

Yu Xueji said: "This night pearl looks no different from ordinary stones on weekdays. It only absorbs the essence of moonlight on the night of the full fifteenth month of every month, and when it encounters true energy, it will emit strong light."
