Chapter 25 - Adherence

"Picked it up?"

Xiao Qingqian scoffed, this dagger was clearly from the Southern Kingdom's Imperial Family, and only that person had it!

However, how did she obtain this dagger?

As Xiao Qingqian was guessing, Wei Qing's thoughts also quickly spun.

From the looks of it, Xiao Qingqian should be able to recognize this dagger. Furthermore, looking at the graceful temperament that the man from that day had, he should not be an ordinary person.

Perhaps, he could learn the man's identity from Xiao Qingqian!

Just as this thought floated into his mind, it was quickly rejected by Wei Qing.

Previously, she said with such certainty that she had picked up the dagger herself, and now that she asked Xiao Qingqian about it, she was unsure what Xiao Qingqian would think of her.

If she gave him another random accusation, he would really make her complain!

"Hey, you're a man, don't you have to be so stingy?" Wei Qing yelled at him, hoping to enrage him and then pull herself up.

Xiao Qingqian raised his eyebrows. "Is this how a wangfei begs people?"

Wei Qing almost vomited blood due to his anger.

Your sister!

If I could get up there, I wouldn't bother begging you!

Since I'm begging you, you should hurry up and drag me up!

However, Wei Qing only dared to say a few words in her heart. If she said them out loud, she was really afraid that Xiao Qingqian would turn around and leave.

Those assassins didn't know whether or not they would be there to wait for them. She wasn't stupid, and cherished this small life of hers very much!

Xiao Qingqian did not wait for Wei Qing to speak for a long time. Having lost all patience, he turned around and was about to leave.

His footsteps came to a halt as he turned his head. "This King doesn't call you Hey!"

The heck, the heck, the heck!

"Your Highness, please bring me along!"

As he said this, even Wei Qing himself felt so disgusted that he wanted to vomit.

The corner of Xiao Qingqian's mouth raised slightly.

He thought that Wei Qing wasn't afraid of anything, but it turns out that there was a time when she was afraid as well.

"This King will ask you again, where did you get this dagger from?" Xiao Qingqian once again came to the side of the trap and glared at Wei Qing fiercely.

Shattered rocks constantly rolled down, and Wei Qing coincidentally raised her face, blinded, and rubbed her eyes in pain.

"What are you crying for?" Xiao Qingqian rubbed his forehead speechlessly.

He only asked her where she got the dagger from, and didn't say that he was determined to ignore her!

Wei Qing huffed and puffed and said: "Even if it's picked up, do you f * cking believe it!?"

Hearing that, the temperature around Xiao Qingqian immediately dropped to the freezing point.

This damned stubborn woman!

Since she said that with all her heart, Xiao Qingqian couldn't really just turn around and leave.

"Also, I'm not crying. I'm confused!"

Seeing such a stubborn girl like her, Xiao Qingqian somehow felt that it was funny, but in reality, he had actually let out a happy laugh.

Wei Qing was furious, she had fallen into a trap, what was so funny about being blinded?

Xiao Qingqian cleared his throat and said, "Step back."

Wei Qing replied with an "Oh" and retreated a little further away. Then, she jumped into the trap.

This trap belonged to the inverted triangle; its upper and lower widths were narrow. After Xiao Qingqian jumped down, the two of them were extremely close, as if they could close in with just a slight pant.

Wei Qing inexplicably felt nervous, she wanted to retreat further, but this place was only this big, so if she retreated any further, she would only be able to do so in the dirt or rocks.

Xiao Qingqian looked at her flushed face that looked like it could drip blood, and suddenly became interested.

He raised his hand and Wei Qing stared at him warily.

The wicked look in Xiao Qingqian's eyes became more and more intense as he raised his hand and placed it on the stone behind her.

Wei Qing's breath almost stopped as she tightly pursed her lips and clenched her fists, which were somewhat at a loss for what to do.

"Where did that dagger come from?" Xiao Qingqian leaned forward slightly, and the fragrance of the bamboo leaves permeated into his lungs, causing his heart to beat faster, "I already said it, so I picked it up!"

Xiao Qingqian raised his eyebrows, and caressed her cheeks with his finger, finally stopping at her lips.

Only such a very casual action caused Wei Qing to break out in a cold sweat. It was as if she had been given a Body Securing Curse, and she didn't dare to move at all.

Xiao Qingqian gave a light harrumph, "Wangfei is really sharp-tongued!"

Wei Qing glared at him, "I don't know if those assassins have left yet, but it's best if we don't waste any more time.

These words once again made Xiao Qingqian laugh, his hand suddenly grabbed onto her slender waist, and used a bit of strength.

Wei Qing struck his firm chest and stuck closely to him. The distance between them was so close that she could clearly count his eyelashes. As long as he was willing, and pouted slightly, he could place his lips onto hers.

"Your Highness, how about …"

Without waiting for her to finish speaking, Xiao Qingqian pushed off with his feet and flew out of the trap with her.

Wei Qing blinked in shock, then turned her head to look at the deep trap, and her eyes filled with amazement!

F * ck!

It was good to have inner strength!

It was a pity that this little weak chicken was so weak.

In Xiao Qingqian's eyes, the amazement in her eyes was exactly the same as admiration.

For some reason, Xiao Qingqian felt that he was nothing special about being admired by Tian Sisi. He felt bored about being admired by the previous Wei Qing but he felt a special sense of satisfaction being admired by the current Wei Qing.

She was like a wild horse that had escaped its reins, or a cunning fox. It made him subconsciously want to approach her and investigate.

Feeling the light in his eyes, Wei Qing hurriedly pushed him away, "It's not good to stay here for long!"

Xiao Qingqian retracted his gaze from her face and prepared to leave.

He had previously suffered internal injuries, and just now he used his internal energy to bring Wei Qing flying out of the trap, causing the blood in Xiao Qingqian's chest to churn violently.

He raised his hand, trying to suppress the discomfort. However, it was to no avail. With a "pu" sound, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

The stench of blood suddenly rose into Wei Qing's lungs along with her breathing, causing her to be stunned.

She lifted the hem of her skirt to chase up to Xiao Qingqian, but didn't pay attention to her feet.

Your sister!

She had been injured ever since she wore it. This time, it was no exception to her beautiful injuries!

Couldn't God have pitied her a little?

"Why are you so troublesome?" Xiao Qingqian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, staring at Wei Qing who was holding onto his ankle fiercely with his eyes.

Wei Qing glared at him with his red eyes, gritting his teeth: If I wasn't f * cking worried about you, how could I not have noticed?

She was worried about him?!

Xiao Qingqian was originally very angry, but a large portion of his indescribable anger disappeared.

He walked towards Wei Qing, squatted down, and then lifted up her skirt without saying anything.

Wei Qing's expression panicked, and shouted out: "What are you doing?!"
