Xiao Jingyue's face was cold, he did not reply, and his gaze still stayed on Qu Ling's body.

She seemed to sense something and turned around to look.

Facing Xiao Jingyue's cold gaze, she was stunned for a moment. She slowly stood up, tilted her head, and asked: "Why are you here?"

The other party did not reply. With a gloomy face, the waves of chilliness emitted from his body not only scared the owner of the inn, but even Xiao Yi and Xiao Er couldn't help but retreat ten meters away as they were afraid of encountering bad luck.

Murong Yan glanced at Qu Ling, and explained gently: "Madam, you don't have enough alcohol, I'm afraid you're already drunk."

Xiao Jingyue held her horizontally in his arms, and said without turning his head: "Even this general has fooled Young Master Murong when he acted out such a good show."

Murong Yan knew in his heart that Xiao Jingyue was referring to the matter of him and Qu Ling pretending not to know each other.

Xiao Jingyue rode a horse over, with a fierce expression and vicious movements, he gently carried Qu Ling onto the back of the horse, and with a flip of his body, he placed the man back into his embrace.

All along the way, the girls in his arms were all very restless. The two most restless hands touched here and there for a while, and felt that not only was Xiao Jingyue's heart burning, the fire all over his body was also very strong.

Once he returned to the General Mansion, he carried her down and headed straight for the study room without pause.

There was a pillow and a quilt on the soft bed in the study, Xiao Jingyue threw him onto the bed and looked down at her condescendingly.

Qu Ling's head was in a daze from the fall, he managed to recover it with much difficulty, when he heard a cold voice from above: "What is your relationship with Murong Yan?"

She raised her head in a daze and said, "He's my little buddy."

Xiao Jingyue, "..."

He was so angry that he started laughing. He restrained his anger that he did not know where it came from and asked with a sneer, "Is that all?"

Qu Ling acted as if he was honest and nodded, "Yes, that's right."

Xiao Jingyue frowned, he stared at her for a good long while, and finally noticed that something was amiss.

He whispered, "Drunk?"

"I'm not drunk. It's just that my brain and eyes aren't very clear."

"…"

He took a deep breath, lifted his clothes and sat down by the edge of the canyon. He met her misty eyes and asked softly, "Why do you want to drink?"

"Murong told me to live a good life with you, so I got annoyed just in time to see a restaurant nearby."

"…"

Xiao Jingyue really wanted to knock her out. He stared at her and grinded his teeth as he asked: "Do you really not want to live with this general?"

Qu Ling tilted his head and said with an innocent face, "What else? How can I live with someone who only has a short lifespan? I simply can't live with someone who has a short lifespan! "

Xiao Jingyue's face instantly turned green, his chest heaving up and down violently.

He finally understood that she was indeed drunk.

Normally, this coward wouldn't dare to speak such words out loud.

Now, even though he knew she was telling the truth, his heart still throbbed.

Since when did he start paying attention to what this woman said?

Xiao Jingyue looked at the lady in front of him with a complicated expression for a while. He still wanted to ask, but suddenly, he leaned back and covered his head with the blanket, then said softly through the blanket: "It's night time, I want to sleep, do not disturb me."

Xiao Jingyue, "..."

She fell asleep as soon as she said she was going to sleep. Before long, her steady breathing could be heard from under the blanket.

Xiao Jingyue took off the blanket that was covering her head, completely forgetting that he still had not eaten dinner, and laid down beside her.

He gently pulled her into his embrace and sniffed the fragrance in her hair. After staring at the darkness for a long time, he suddenly opened his mouth. "If I don't have a short life, you …"

When she said this, the latter half of the sentence was gone. She placed a kiss on the top of her head and slowly closed her eyes.

Outside the study room, Xiao Yi and Xiao Er looked at each other. Xiao Yi revealed a sad expression and silently walked into the courtyard.

Xiao Er walked in front of him and kicked him.

Xiao Yi listlessly raised his head and unhappily asked, "What are you doing?"

The Xiao Er scoffed, "I should be the one asking what you are doing."

"I'm feeling sorry for my master."

"…"

Xiao Yi sighed, "Madam is actually doing quite well."

Even though she was eccentric, she wasn't perverted at all. She stayed as an easygoing servant and had no requirements for her master. To be able to remove the Gu in her master's body, she was truly a good woman.

Xiao Er glanced at him but did not reply.

It didn't matter whether they were fine or not. They were just servants, and had no right to ask about the matters of their masters.

The next day, just as dawn broke, Qu Ling was awoken by his hunger.

The moment he opened his eyes and met with a pair of deep eyes, he was immediately shocked. In an instant, he became clear-headed.

"You, you, you!" Qu Ling, you took a long time but still couldn't say a complete sentence.

Xiao Jingyue calmly sat up, tidying up the clothes on his body, "The time is still early, Madame can continue sleeping."

"Why are you here!" Qu Ling finally said a complete sentence, and his face looked as though he had accidentally swallowed a fly.

Xiao Jingyue did not reply, and did not even glance at her once. He walked past the screen, opened the door of the study, and walked out in large strides.

Qu Ling, who was left in the study room, was stupefied for a good while. Only then did he realise that this was not her room.

With a bitter face, she quietly got off the bed and escaped from Xiao Jingyue's study like a thief.

The Aunt Tao that was left to guard the Pure Wind House had long since woken up and was sweeping the courtyard floor. When he saw Qu Ling returning, he immediately went to welcome him and asked, "Miss, where did you go last night?"

"He didn't go anywhere. He's in the study." Qu Ling waved his hands, and then went into his own room.

After the door was closed, she quickly tore off her clothes to inspect them.

He heaved a sigh of relief when he realized that there was nothing on his body that he shouldn't have.

She didn't expect that pervert to have a little conscience and didn't do anything worse than to her when she was unconscious.

She should have been drinking with Murong Yan in the inn last night, why did she come back to the General Mansion? Was it Murong Yan who brought her back?

Also, why did she lie on the same bed as Xiao Jingyue?

The more Qu Ling thought about it, the more upset he felt. He knew that drinking wine was a mistake, but he never thought that it would actually affect Xiao Jingyue's bed.

Although she and him had already done that kind of thing, it wouldn't be any different if they did it again, but she didn't want to, okay?

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. After drinking three big bowls of porridge for breakfast and feeling her stomach ache, she finally felt better.

The two people from Miao Boundary were already dead, and the matter of the Gu Worm was once again cut off. Qu Ling left the front courtyard, and just as he was about to return to his room to cultivate and remove the parasite from Huo Xinyi's body, Xiao Yi suddenly appeared in front of her and blocked her.

Xiao Yi had a strange expression on his face as he stuttered, "A guest has arrived in the manor."

Qu Ling frowned, "Looking for me?"

Xiao paused for a moment, then said: "It's from Murong Villa … "Miss Mu Rong is here."

She responded with an 'oh', and said with an expressionless face: "Look for Xiao Jingyue, let him entertain himself."
