Chapter 424: I Won't Let Her Become a Widow

w what was happening to him. Images from the storybooks flashed through his mind. He wanted to hold her tightly, taste her red lips, he wanted...He violently shook his head, trying to drive those damn..."Qian Tingxuan, I really want you to live a good life." The longer they spent together, the stronger this feeling became in her heart. She even hesitated to think about what would happen if one day he suddenly disappeared. How could she bear to live without him

But she didn't think this was love. She told herself more than once that it was just because in this life, she had no relatives, and he happened to come along, giving her the warmth of a family member. He saved her time and time again, so she wanted to repay him, it wasn't because of love.

"Without orchids, I can still live a good life. Believe me!" Seeing the worry in her eyes, his eyes were filled with joy.

"No! There's no orchid, no lily of the valley, no gentian. You will truly die!" And what was that lingering pang of heartache

"There's a dragon pearl."

"What You, you found the Dragon's Pearl" Xiao Yuge was overjoyed at first hearing, but Qian Tingxuan's next words poured a bucket of cold water on her.

Qianting shook his head: "I didn't find it, but the Dragon Gall Bead did exist in the world, and it appeared in Chiyan Country. Later, it was secretly switched with something else and disappeared without a trace."

Xiao Yu Ge's face immediately fell: "That's the same as saying nothing at all."

"Different, before, we only thought that the Dragon Pearl was just a legend, but now at least we can be sure that the Dragon Pearl exists in reality. As long as it truly exists, we will definitely find it. If even Thunder Pavilion can't find something, it is estimated that it doesn't exist in this world."

“That’s right, as long as it truly exists, there's hope of finding it.” Xiao Yuge also rekindled hope: “These days, after my care, the Empress Dowager’s body has recovered a lot, and she is estimated to be able to hold on for longer. So, you should also speed up your search.”

"Well. Don't worry, I will stay with you until our grandchildren are numerous and we grow old together, so I will never let you be a widow!" Qian Tingxuan said as he lay beside her on the bed in his clothes.

"Hey, what are you doing sleeping in my bed Go back to your palace." Xiao Yuge wanted to pull him up, but unexpectedly he pulled her onto the bed instead. She panicked: "You, what are you going to do Let me go!"

“I don't want to do anything now, you’re exhausted from working all night. It’s still dark out, so why not take a nap” He half-sat up and looked at her blushing face, a wicked smile playing on his lips: “Or are you saying that little Gege doesn’t want to sleep and wants to do something else”

"Get lost! Seriously, just sleep!" Hmph! It's not like we haven't slept together before, is it I'm not afraid of him!

"Good girl," Qian Tingxuan watched her back, helplessly shook his head. She was still so resistant to him, guarded against him like she was guarding against a thief. Was he that scary But it didn't matter, he would be in her arms when she fell asleep later.

The next morning.

When Xiao Yuge woke up, the sun was already high in the sky. Waking up naturally felt so good!

After freshening up and eating the breakfast prepared by Qian Tingxuan, she suddenly had a hint of doubt. They had slept together last night, so when did he get up And when did he prepare all this breakfast How could she not have noticed at all

Logically speaking, her martial arts skills were now top-notch, and she shouldn't be this oblivious. What if an enemy appeared Wouldn't she have been cut to pieces by then

Yet, she didn't know that she trusted Qian Tingxuan so much, trusting him with her own life and death.

"Miss, the Princess of Tianzhu has arrived!" Qingluo reported at this time.

"Alright, I'll go out right away." Xiao Yu Ge addressed the mirror, tidying herself up, but suddenly noticed a red mark on her neck. She frowned involuntarily.

"Miss, what's wrong with you" Qingluo also noticed it at this time.

"It's not painful or itchy, maybe it was a mosquito bite last night." Xiao Yuge naturally didn't know, last night there was a big 'mosquito' that took a small bite on her neck.

Since the last incident where he almost lost control, Qian Tingxuan had only dared to give her shallow kisses to satisfy his urges. Besides hugging and cuddling, he hadn't done anything too excessive, so naturally, Xiao Yuge couldn't suspect him.

"So tonight, I brought some mosquito repellent." Qing Luo was even more confused by this. She naively thought it was really mosquitos that were biting her.

"Xiao Yu Ge!" Mu Huan saw Xiao Yu Ge and immediately rushed over, ignoring everything else. "Where have you been these past few days I couldn't find you every time I came."

"Of course..." Xiao Yuge intentionally paused, refusing to speak.

"I know, it must be that carefree King bothering you again, what a nuisance!" Mu Huan thought of Qian Tingxuan, and she imagined his terrifying face. In her opinion, someone with such an appearance had to have abnormal thoughts. She often worried about Xiao Yuge.

"Alright, go on, what's the matter you came to see me about" Xiao Yuge thought that she didn't have anything else to do today, so she might as well accompany her first. She would definitely go and check on Ye Ge later.

"Can't I come and see you if nothing is wrong" Mu Huan pouted, looking quite displeased: "Xiao Yuge, I only have you as a friend here. If you weren't here, I would be so bored."

"Well, that's perfect. The weather is lovely today. I'll take you for a stroll down the street. I heard that on West Street, people have been crafting many beautiful little trinkets. Let's go there and have a look, and buy you a few more. Then we can bring them back to Tianzhu."

"Great, then what are we waiting for, let's go!" Mu Huan grabbed Xiao Yuge and ran outside. She had grown up in the deep palace since she was a child and had always yearned for the world outside. As soon as she heard that they were going out for a stroll, her blood was boiling with excitement.

"Xiao Yu Ge, this is so beautiful!"

"Buy!"

"Xiao Yu's song, that one is pretty good looking too!"

"Buy!"

"I think both of these are nice, which one should I buy It's so hard to choose!"

"I'll buy both!"

"Xiao Yu Ge, you are so amazing!"

Muhuan's eyes widened at the sight of every novelty. She was clearly smitten with everything she saw, her whole expression screamed "I want it! I want it!". So, Muhuan took charge of looking while Xiao Yuge handled the purchasing. It was a pitiful sight for their several attendants trailing behind, each clutching bags of various sizes filled to the brim with goods.

Xiao Yu Ge seemed to see a familiar figure in the crowd. She subconsciously tiptoed and looked, but there were too many people, and it seemed to disappear in a blink of an eye.

"Princess, stay here for a while, don't leave! I'll go take a look over there and be right back!" Xiao Yuge finished speaking and hurried after them.

While Mu Huan chose among the pile of trinkets, she found nothing satisfactory. She was about to drag Xiao Yuge away when, turning back, she realized Xiao Yuge had vanished.nger apprentice would be difficult. He thought that perhaps that reckless fellow should be more careful. If he were discovered, how could he explain himself He wouldn't take the blame for this." 。"Sen...
