Chapter 207 - A Unique Pet

On this side, Chidian and Xiaobai found the way home by relying on Chidian’s sharp nose.

On the road, they walked while one was walking ahead and the other one was following behind. Chidian was gloomy to the extreme at the bottom of its heart. How could its owner know that they were able to find the way back?

Wasn’t she afraid that they would leave? It was really so sad.

Chidian didn’t know that Bai Aoxue was crystal clear about all the habits and characteristics of wolves.

Just as Chidian was very bored, the innate alertness of wolves told it that it had already been targeted by someone!

This kind of cognition enraged Chidian. The inborn pride made it yield to nobody except its fearful and brutal owner!

Just now, when its master found them, the smell of blood all over her body made it tremble all over its body!

Casting away all the distracting thoughts, Chidian had already been prepared to fight!

Its sharp buckteeth had already been exposed. In the pitch-dark night, its eyes glittered with dim lights!

“Howl!” Chidian shouted so that it could strike first to gain the initiative. In this silent night sky, the roar, which belonged to King of the Prairie, appeared to be so majestic and fearful!

But Xiaobai released its four feet and ran towards the enemy!

Seeing this, Chidian withdrew its fierce eyes instantly, only feeling that Xiaobai was the spy that was sent here by the enemy!

But it then thought in the mind that if Xiaobai was hurt, Bai Aoxue might be sad. Thinking in this way, it dashed forward in disregard of anything.

Shouting and swooping, Chidian was about to stop Xiaobai, only to see that Xiaobai happily circled around that aggressive man!

Chidian focused its eyes to have a look at the man in front of its eyes. It just discovered that the person in front of its eyes was the man who conquered it in Mobei Dynasty!

Jun Yeyan looked at Chidian which was so alert, and he was also full of admiration at the bottom of his heart. How powerful Xue was! She had tamed Chidian so excellently.

Pulling the rein of Xiaobai, at a bound, Jun Yeyan jumped on the back of the horse leisurely and rakishly.

“Take me to find Xue.” Jun Yeyan looked at Chidian and said lightly.

There was a specific command, not the meaning of suggestion in his words.

Chidian was very angry at the bottom of its heart, but there was nothing that it could do. It could not defeat this man! In the future, it would require its owner to train it very well so that it could revenge itself!

Chidian thought in this way secretly at the bottom of its heart, but it turned around obediently and went back the way it came.

“All of you, go back first. I’m going to look for Xue.” After saying this, Jun Yeyan raised the rein in his hand and rode Xiaobai to leave quickly.

Seeing that Jun Yeyan was leaving, Zhao and these several other people were a little concerned and wanted to follow him secretly.

“You can go back first. It’s enough for me to follow him. After all, I want to make acquaintance with our Princess.” Ju Xiao stopped Zhao and these several other people and said lightly.

Seeing this, Zhao didn’t say more as well, nor did he have the intention to move forward.

“Be respectful to Princess. Don’t be rude.” Ju Xiao left, together with Zhao’s cold words.

After he heard this, he showed a smile, which was rarely seen, on his cold face.

While on this side, led by Chidian, Jun Yeyan was approaching Bai Aoxue step by step.

She was looking at the streets where people were hurrying to and fro and the shops where pedestrians came and went constantly, which were bustled with noise and excitement.

Standing in the middle of the road where people came and went, Bai Aoxue somewhat didn’t know where to go. It was the first time that she had truly integrated into this dynasty officially.

From her traversing to rebirth, it had been such a long period of time since she came to this fabled dynasty. But she had never truly hung out in this dynasty and got acquainted with the living style of the ancient people and various kinds of customs and cultures.

Looking at the innocent children who were chasing after each other and the hawkers who raised sugar-coated haws on a stick by the road, as well as different kinds of clay figures and lantern riddles, there were some tender feelings in her eyes, which had always been so cold.

Jun Yeyan entered Yangzhou. Led by Chidian, he found Bai Aoxue.

She was standing in the middle of the crowd. Although she wore a bamboo hat over her head and the snow-white clothes which she didn’t wear at ordinary times, Jun Yeyan still recognized her at a glance. She was the person who he deeply loved at the bottom of his heart.

Although she wore the bamboo hat, and her appearance couldn’t be seen, Jun Yeyan still saw the softness which flashed and disappeared in a second in her eyes from that misty gauze.

Raising the corner of his clothes, he turned over and went down from the horse. Jun Yeyan patted Xiaobai on the head and strode into the crowd.

His slim and tall figure made him stand out in the crowd. His black fine clothes, which were embedded with golden lines, set off his cold momentum. His mysterious appearance was covered by a black-jade mask, making people lost in wild and fanciful thoughts.

Bai Aoxue didn’t realize that Jun Yeyan had found him. She was just looking at the streets where pedestrians went to and fro in constant streams, sighing with emotion at the bottom of his heart.

She had always thought that the things that happened on the television were fake, but now it seemed that the life of ancient people was somewhat similar to that on the television. There was no hurry, but only a peaceful mind.

She had always been expecting such a kind of life, yet it also could not come true.

“Qian, we are allowed to float the river lanterns tonight. Let us go to the riverside and float the river lanterns after a little while.” There came a tender voice of a girl. Bai Aoxue looked in the direction, from which the voice came.

She just saw a beautiful woman who wore pink clothes. This girl shyly looked at the tall man by her side and said so, with some desire and persistence in her eyes.

The man timely raised his hand and rubbed the woman’s hair. He said, “Silly girl… As for things like floating the river lanterns, even if you hadn’t said, I would also take you to do it!”

After the woman heard this, she looked at the man with her bent eyebrows and eyes. There were endless smiles and softness in her eyes.

The man picked a peach blossom and cautiously put it into the woman’s hair. The woman looked at the man carefully and happily.

After doing the whole thing, the man took the initiative to hold the woman’s hand and walked towards their future with her step by step.

Bai Aoxue showed a smile with the corners of her mouth upward, with incredible softness at the bottom of her heart.

People who were deeply attracted and attached to each other were just like this.

Thinking about this, she strode and was about to leave.

“Today is the Falling Flower Festival. Xue, don’t you want to float the river lanterns?” There came a familiar low and deep male voice, with attachment and love in it, which could not be expressed by words.

Bai Aoxue stopped her step and turned around unbelievably to look at the man with a smile in his eyes, who appeared behind her.

“How did you find me?” Bai Aoxue lightly tilted her head. She looked at Jun Yeyan and asked.

Jun Yeyan didn’t deny it. He curled the corners of his mouth and said, “I can find you among thousands of people at a glance.”

After Jun Yeyan heard what Jun Yeyan had said, she smiled in a low voice and said, “You are really not shy at all…” She said in this way, but she was inconceivably happy in her heart.

Such feelings which were beyond expression were usually called satisfaction or happiness by people.

“Let’s go… Since you want to float the river lanterns, I will go there with you.” She slightly nodded and slightly raised her head, with her overwhelming pride. But in Jun Yeyan’s eyes, she was arrogant to the extreme, but he still liked her so much.

She was such an awkward woman who didn’t know how to express her feelings. She only knew how to prove by actions, which was silly, yet she still made him love her so much that he could not bear to part with her. He just wanted to put her in his palms and spoiled her deeply.

Paying no attention to Bai Aoxue’s resistance, Jun Yeyan directly held Bai Aoxue’s hand.

“The night fair of Falling Flower Festival in Yangzhou will be very lively. Then could my little Princess please accompany me to hang out for some time?” Jun Yeyan said with a light smile. The smile at the corners of his mouth made Bai Aoxue blush.

“Humph!” Bai Aoxue hummed coldly, and after taking one quick step ahead, she pulled Jun Yeyan to go forward.

Jun Yeyan looked at their hands which were still interlocked with each other. He smiled more happily and slightly pursed his lips. Then he caught up with Bai Aoxue. These two people shoulder by shoulder now didn’t realize how compatible their figures were at this moment.

Their clothes fluttered with the wind and were interlocked with each other. The clash between black and white stunned people’s hearts in an instant.

“Do you know why people float the river lanterns on the Falling Flower Festival?” Jun Yeyan held Bai Aoxue’s hand and asked lightly.

Bai Aoxue raised her eyebrows and said, “I don’t know.”

Seeing that Bai Aoxue was so honest, Jun Yeyan couldn’t react for some time. He lowered his head. Then he had a look at her and said lightly, “Only those men and women who love each other can float the river lanterns on the Falling Flower Festival to ask God of River to bless them and to enable them to stay with each other forever.”

After Bai Aoxue heard what Jun Yeyan had said, she smiled and said, “It just gives them a dose of tranquilizer. As long as they love each other, how should they be afraid of parting with each other?”

Jun Yeyan nodded slightly and agreed with what Bai Aoxue had said.

“It’s hard for us to come to Yangzhou, and we also come across the Falling Flower Festival. Let us go to float once. After a little while, the whole March River will be full of river lanterns. It is very beautiful.” Jun Yeyan said lightly. As for what he was thinking about in his mind, perhaps only he knew that.

Bai Aoxue didn’t say a word, nor did she disagree.

“Jun Yeyan… I want to play that.” Bai Aoxue looked at the light that gradually rose to the sky and stretched out her hand to point at it shyly. She felt lucky at the bottom of her heart that she had the veil to cover her appearance. Otherwise, Jun Yeyan could see her blushed face.

“Let’s go then. We go to let off the sky lanterns first.” Jun Yeyan looked at the light that rose gradually in the sky and said softly.

His eyes which were looking at Bai Aoxue were full of softness.

Anyone who knew Jun Yeyan well was probably clear that the only softness throughout Jun Yeyan’s whole life was given to this woman in his eyes.

He took Bai Aoxue to the booth where river lanterns were sold. The person who sold the river lanterns was an old man. He looked at Bai Aoxue and Jun Yeyan, who held each other and went towards him, with kindness in his eyes.

“Young people, what kind of sky lanterns do you want?”

“White.”

“Give us a white one.”

They said simultaneously, and suddenly, they looked at each other in the eyes.

The old man smiled lightly and said, “Today there are so many couples buying the sky lanterns, but there isn’t one couple as tacit as you. Let me, an old man, send you one sky lantern. I hope that you can help each other until time doesn’t matter to you.”

After saying this, the old man wobbly stood up and put the sky lantern in Bai Aoxue’s hands.

Bai Aoxue took the sky lantern and said lightly and slowly, “Thank you.”

While Jun Yeyan also timely held the old man to sit down and put a small ingot of silver into the old man’s pocket before this old man could discover it.

“Thank you.” His voice was muffled with hoarse and exquisite magnetism as well as some shyness.

The old man had a look at Jun Yeyan. He smiled but uttered no word.

While Jun Yeyan had already walked to the side of Bai Aoxue. They smiled at the old man and went far slowly.

Of course, Bai Aoxue heard that Jun Yeyan said thank you, and she was a little surprised in her heart. To her surprise, Jun Yeyan could say thank you to others. She believed that nobody would believe her if she told what happened today to others.

Walking to the open ground, Bai Aoxue took off her bamboo hat. Jun Yeyan took out the firestone and gave it to Bai Aoxue, while he himself was holding the sky lantern.

He gently lighted the lamp wick of the sky lantern. Bai Aoxue withdrew to one side, looking at Jun Yeyan letting go of the sky lantern. The sky lantern was gradually rising, and the lights came into her eyes.

“Jun Yeyan… Thank you.” She said in a soft tone, with some heart-striking palpitation.

There was a shock in Jun Yeyan’s chest. Looking at Bai Aoxue who was shone by the lights, with starry lights glittering in her eyes, he thought that perhaps this was the so-called unsurpassed beauty of a generation.

Jun Yeyan raised his hand and touched Bai Aoxue’s hair. It was the most loving way that he liked best, as well as his only way to express his exclusive love.

“Silly girl.”

He sighed slightly, but with unparalleled and exclusive love.
