Chapter 22
Fifteen Dragons (1)
Mu Wanwan didnt know that her act of eating regular rice out of frugality would cause such a severe psychological impact on Mister Long. She was exhausted by the events of the day. After boiling water to wash herself and Mister Long up briefly, she counted all her and Mister Longs possessions and poked Mister Longs arm, a little troubled. Mister Long, listen, Im not going to place any low-grade spirit stones for you tonight.
Her voice was soft and light, burrowing into Mister Longs eardrums.
Even though youre unconscious now, it must be very troubling if the spiritual energy is suddenly cut off. Mu Wanwan continued Were really poor now. Im planning to go out tomorrow to buy some burning grass seeds. When I make money, Ill place spirit stones for you then. Ill place many, many of them, and buy very good tonics too
As Mu Wanwan spoke, she couldnt help laughing. She looked at Mr Long whose expression had suddenly become a little scary again at some point unbeknownst to her, and felt a twinge of sympathy. Mister Long, your brow is always wrinkled, is it hurting a lot?
She looked at his furrowed slanted brows and couldnt refrain herself from reaching out to smooth it out. She stroked them gently before suddenly realizing what she was doing, and retracted her hand, crimson faced.
Mu Wanwan felt that her fingertips were a little hot. She felt that she was really shameless; what she was doing now was taking advantage of Mister Long, prodding his face all the time while he was unconscious. This wasnt good, it wasnt good at all.
Im sorry, Mister Long, I didnt mean to touch you.
Mu Wanwan apologized in a low voice, but Mister Long did not respond, so she became bold again. She tucked him in, blew out the light, and said, Good night, Mister Long.
Mu Wanwan fell asleep very quickly, completely unaware that her actions and words had made a certain dragon feel guilty and agonized. She had an exceptionally beautiful dream in which she earned many, many spirit stones. She piled all the crystal-clear spirit stones next to Mister Long, and watched as the spirit stones slowly transformed into spiritual energy and floated into Mister Longs body. Then, Mister Long became bigger and bigger and bigger
Then, she woke up.
Mu Wanwan rubbed her head, thinking that she must have exhausted herself the past few days. Next to her, Mister Long was breathing calmly, looking no different from last night. Outside, the sky was just starting to get light.
She had something on her mind and got up in a hurry. Thinking that she should set off early for her first trip out, she didnt prepare any breakfast. After giving both of them a brief washing up, she took that half packet of seeds and a stalk of burning grass from the courtyard in addition to nearly all of their valuables, then headed out.
The tyrants manor was huge and rectangular. The tyrants bedchamber was located in the deepest part of the manor, and further back was a high mountain, which was also where the forbidden grounds were. Perhaps it was because she was kept under constant surveillance that soon after Mu Wanwan walked out of the bedchamber, someone stepped into her path.
The person was a familiar face she had met onceit was that little maid who had given Bai Shuiyao a ruthless slap the other day. She beamed at Mu Wanwan and curtsied rather properly, Where are you going so early, Madam?
Mu Wanwan also smiled back at her, I want to go to the market. You
The little maid could see her embarrassment, Madam, just call me Hong Ye.
Hong Ye. Mu Wanwan had a pretty favourable impression of this little maid, but when she heard her name was Hong Ye, she felt a little awkward. It seems like Hong Ye was probably Qing Yes little sister. Earlier, when she saw how much this maid hated Bai Shuiyao, she had thought that this maid fancied Qing Ye
If Madam wants to go today, the next outing will have to be ten days later. Does Madam really want to go out today? Hong Ye asked.
Mm. Mu Wanwan nodded.
