"This building overlooking the moon certainly knows how to enjoy life."

Su Ning hid behind and watched this extravagant scene unfold.

Compared to that, Su Ning felt somewhat uncomfortable.

He started complaining about Xiaoqi again: "Look at the life she lives, and what kind of life am I living?"

Although being with the main characters isn't too bad, I wonder when I'll ever get to enjoy this kind of carefree life.

As for the Feather King from the original work, there isn't even a trace of him now.

Xiaoqi comforted her, "As long as you complete the tasks under the beauty's skirt, you can also live such a life."

"And there's another major advantage."

"What?" Su Ning asked.

"Although Lou Xianyue's life is very enjoyable, Su Su, you can have an even more enjoyable life than him in the future."

"Because you can change to a different man every day."

"Lou Xianyue can't do that."

Su Ning: "..."

Xiaoqi, you've changed. You're no longer that innocent system.

No matter what, now that he's here, Su Ning can't just let him go back empty-handed.

But then, a maid lifted a corner of the carriage curtain, and the first thing Su Ning saw was a dazzling red figure.

The man was wearing a bright red brocade robe with gold cloud patterns. Even from a distance, the fabric could still be seen to gleam with a dark gold sheen through the fire.

As the man slowly stepped off the carriage, Su Ning saw his full appearance.

He had slightly upturned phoenix eyes with pupils as black as ink, a high nose bridge, and a sharp but not fierce jawline. His black hair was tied up high with a red gold crown inlaid with red jewels, and a few strands of red silk ribbons were tied at the ends of his hair, which fluttered lightly in the wind, giving him a youthful spirit.

His lips were a natural crimson, and his skin was as white as snow. Against the backdrop of his bright red clothes, he appeared even more stunning.

gorgeous.

Su Ning described the man in front of her as handsome.

The person in front of him was clearly a young nobleman raised in a golden palace, exuding an air of nobility. Despite his handsome features and youthful appearance, he did not appear effeminate at all. Instead, the gold and silver made him look even more magnificent.

No wonder these prodigies in the original work looked down on the troublemakers of the martial arts world. Based on the few they've encountered so far, they certainly don't need to bow down to anyone.

Indeed, men are like clothes; out with the old, in with the new.

Su Ning couldn't wait to kiss this gorgeous, flowing robe.

Lou Xianyue leaned back on the soft couch, propping her head up with her chin, gazing at the bonfire in front of her, appearing somewhat indifferent.

"We should arrive in Lingzhou City tomorrow, right?"

His voice was languid, and although he was gazing at the bonfire in front of him, there was not a trace of emotion in his eyes.

Lou Xianyue needs to depart fifteen days in advance to attend the martial arts tournament in Lingzhou, since one of them is in the east and the other in the west.

This has happened before.

This year was a little different, though, as a piece of news that particularly annoyed him permeated the entire journey.

As a result, the young master of the Lou family was sickly throughout the entire journey and had no interest in anything.

The attendant beside him replied, "Yes, we will arrive in Lingzhou early tomorrow morning. Would the young master like to visit Master Tang first, or stay in Lingzhou City for the night?"

"Let's stay in the city first; there's no rush to visit," Lou Xianyue said calmly.

"Yes."

The attendant lowered his head. Although the lady had assigned him a task, Lou Xianyue was, after all, the young master, and everything was done according to his wishes.

Su Ning is currently making preparations; to get close to Lou Xianyue, she must be genuine.

He's grown up and seen all sorts of people; how many women have tried to curry favor with him? And yet he's all alone in the forest—it just looks so fake.

"Xiao Qi, do you feel sorry for me now?"

The once neat and tidy girl now had disheveled hair and her eyes were slightly red with moisture.

Her thin, plain dress was torn to shreds by the branches, revealing her slender, delicate forearms. Although her face was covered by a veil, her peach blossom eyes appeared even more misty and breathtakingly beautiful.

"Susu, you look so pitiful right now."

Xiaoqi has been reading storybooks lately and has learned a lot of words, which she is now using.

Lou Xianyue was about to close the tent curtain when she heard a rustling sound not far away.

"Kong Qing, go take a look."

Lou Xianyue frowned slightly. Their group was quite large, and if they failed to reach the town before nightfall, it was common for them to have to rest in the wilderness.

As a result, all sorts of people, from江湖草莽 (jianghu caomang, meaning outlaws and bandits) to plunging into the fray, even demons and monsters, have joined in.

He was already used to these things.

The attendant, having received his orders, drew his sword and headed toward the source of the commotion.

Before they even reached the source of the noise, they heard a soft voice, "Help."

The girl came running from the jungle, stumbling and falling like a frightened fawn.

Kong Qing quickly realized that the person in front of her was just an ordinary girl, not someone who practiced martial arts, and was about to stop her.

But then he saw the fair-skinned girl pass by him, bringing with her a fragrant breeze.

He paused for a moment, just about to grab the woman in front of him.

But somehow, the girl, who had no fighting skills, slipped right past him.

"Young Master!"

Kong Qing was caught off guard, and the girl was already within arm's reach of the tent.

Lou Xianyue heard the sound and turned around, only to be enveloped in a sweet fragrance.

The girl in his arms had a misty look of panic in her eyes, with the corners of her eyes slightly upturned, adding to her pitiful charm.

Her slender body bumped into his warm embrace, carrying the moonlight from the forest and her unique fragrance.

Her face was buried in the lapel of his bright red brocade robe, and she could clearly smell the cold, noble scent of agarwood on the fabric. Her arms unconsciously gripped the hem of his robe tightly, and her knuckles turned slightly white from the force.

Trembling slightly with fear, like a drowning person clutching the last piece of driftwood.

Lou Xianyue was momentarily confused by the fragrance and did not push the woman in his arms away immediately.

Until Kong Qing grabbed Su Ning's shoulder without any mercy and pulled him off the boy's arms.

The silver swords gleamed coldly and were stuck in the ground beside Su Ning. "Who are you, woman? Why are you acting so flustered at night?"

Kong Qing coldly stared at the woman who had fallen to the ground, slightly puzzled.

He could have caught her just now, how could he have let her get away?

Su Ning stood with her back to Lou Xianyue, her black hair cascading down to the ground like a waterfall. Stray hairs on her forehead obscured her long eyelashes, making it impossible to see the expression in her eyes.

If Su Ning knew the question in Kong Qing's heart, she would only smile. This is the benefit of riding the wind.
