Chapter 58: I Feel So Blissful

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The full moon hung high in the sky.

There were green trees and artificial mountains in the garden.

Beside a pool of clear water sat an elegant pavilion with cornices and flowing corners, red pillars, and green tiles.

In the pavilion, First Young Miss Qin was in a white dress. She had fair skin and gorgeous looks, looking like a divine being who had descended to the mortal world. She was sitting there quietly, looking at the moon in a daze.

Outside the pavilion, under the plum blossom tree.

A cold girl in a green dress was holding a sword. As she practiced the sword, her dress fluttered in the breeze, along with her thick black hair. This time, the sword seemed to be much gentler than last time.

Luo Qingzhou took a look.

Then, he looked straight ahead and walked to the pavilion. He cupped his hands and lowered his head at the dazed girl inside. “First Young Miss.” The girl came back to her senses and looked at him with cold eyes.

After staring at him for a long time, she nodded slightly.

After getting a response from her, Luo Qingzhou turned to leave.

Just as he turned around and took a few steps, the sword under the plum blossom tree suddenly became sharp again.

Petals fell like rain, and sword light filled the garden.

Traces of cold air assaulted him along with the night wind, bringing with it a whiff of fragrance.

“Sir, do you think that Chanchan’s sword dance is ugly, that’s why you are in such a hurry to leave?”

Bai Ling’s provocative voice sounded.

Luo Qingzhou ignored her, but he stopped walking. He looked at the girl brandishing her sword under the plum blossoms tree.

The eyes of the girl under the tree reflected the chill glitter of the stars overhead. The sword she was holding reflected the moon. Her figure was beautiful, but both the sword light and her face were cold as ice.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Luo Qingzhou felt that the sword seemed to have transformed into an infinite number of swords, filling the entire garden. A single point of sharpness transformed into thousands of sword lights. They were like stars that flew all over the place. It was absolutely breathtaking!

Of course, it was also extremely terrifying.

If he was targeted by such a sword, his entire body would probably be riddled with holes in an instant.

“Chanchan seems to be angry, Sir.”

Just as Luo Qingzhou was staring intently, he heard Bai Ling speak. She was trying to stir up trouble again. Luo Qingzhou could feel her breath against his ear as she spoke in a hushed voice.

It felt itchy and numb.

Luo Qingzhou took a few steps back and did not look at her.

Bai Ling leaned closer to him again and said aggrievedly, “Sir, you weren’t like this when we were outside just now. You pressed me against the door and almost kissed me.”

The sword light converged, and petals flew everywhere.

The girl under the tree stood still. She sheathed her sword and looked over coldly.

Bai Ling immediately said coquettishly, “Sir, just now, when you were outside, you leaned against my body and sniffed me. You said that I gave off a soft, sweet-smelling fragrance. Were you telling the truth?”

Luo Qingzhou glanced at her and did not answer. He walked toward the round door.

Bai Ling hurriedly shouted, “Sir, have you forgotten something?”

Luo Qingzhou didn’t even turn around. “No.”

Bai Ling reminded him, “But when you were outside just now, you told me that you have something to say to Miss.”

Luo Qingzhou stopped at the round door and turned to look at Bai Ling.

He recalled Xiao Die’s reminder.

“Young Master, since she said that, it means… it means that Miss wants to sleep with you. You must take the initiative to say it.”

Luo Qingzhou glanced at the snow-white figure in the pavilion before retracting his gaze. He looked at the delicate girl who was looking at him with a meaningful gaze.

He recalled the familiar fragrance of a young girl at the door just now and the girl’s alluring bashfulness under the moonlight.

The garden was silent for a moment.

He said, “There’s nothing much I want to say. I just wanted to pay my respects to First Young Miss.”

With that, he cupped his hands and left. Soon, he disappeared around the corner in the dark.

Bai Ling stared blankly in his direction for a while before turning around. She looked at the figure in the pavilion and then at the figure standing under the plum blossom tree with a sword in her hand. She was as cold as ice. Bai Ling shrugged and muttered, “I can’t believe that someone would actually reject

that…’

No one responded.

Silence returned to the garden.

When Luo Qingzhou returned to the small courtyard, Xiao Die was sitting in the courtyard with a wooden basin in front of her.

The girl held a kitchen knife in her hand, and she had a torn expression on her face.

When she saw Luo Qingzhou return, she hurriedly stood up and said with a bitter expression, “Young Master, I still don’t dare to kill…”

Luo Qingzhou could not help but laugh. He went over and took the kitchen knife from her. “Go and light the stove.”

“Okay.”

Xiao Die hurriedly ran into the kitchen.

Luo Qingzhou sat down and raised his knife. He skillfully gutted the fish, scrapping off the gills and gut, and removing the blood and black membrane thoroughly.

Very soon, he was finished with it.

After washing the fish a few times with clear water, he went into the kitchen and placed the fish in a clean basin. He smeared the ingredients on it and marinated it.

Then, he helped Xiao Die start a fire.

Not long after, the fragrance of grilled fish wafted into the courtyard.

Originally, Xiao Die was not hungry.

She even said, “Young Master, the fish is so pitiful. I won’t eat it.”

However, the aroma wafting from the grilled fish made her drool a little. She rubbed her tummy and said, “Young Master, the fish is so big. You’ll be overstuffed if you eat this fish all by yourself. I’ll help you to eat it later.”

Luo Qingzhou deliberately said, “I can finish it alone. Go back to your room and embroider.”

The little girl pouted and pretended not to hear him. She continued to stand at the side and swallow her saliva continuously, drooling over the fish.

The fish was quickly cooked.

Luo Qingzhou took it off the fire and cooled it for a while. Then, he washed his hands and tore off the tender meat from the fish’s stomach on both sides with his hands. He placed it in the bowl that the little girl had already brought over and said, “Let’s eat.”

With that, he held the fish that had lost its stomach with both hands and ate it with relish.

Xiao Die held the bowl and said with reddened eyes, “Young Master…” Luo Qingzhou looked up at her and asked, “What?”

Xiao Die raised her hand to wipe her tears that were about to overflow and shook her head. “No, it’s nothing. I just feel so happy and blissful.”

Luo Qingzhou smiled and lowered his head to continue eating the fish. “It’s good that you’re happy and feeling blissful. The purpose of life is happiness.”

Xiao Die made a sound of acknowledgment.

She held back her tears as best she could and lowered her head to eat.

She took a bite and glanced at him. She vowed mentally, “For Young Master’s sake, I must become more capable. I must learn from Xiao Tao… learn all the abilities that she has to teach me.”

Under the moonlight, the man looked like an elegant and highly refined gentleman.

She thought in a daze, “Tonight… I will serve Young Master tonight. He is so good to me, and I have nothing to repay him with, I can only use what Xiao Tao taught me to… to make him happy. Come on, Xiao Die, you can do it!” The night breeze blew gently, rustling the leaves.

In the backyard of the Chengguo Residence, in the long corridor.

First Madam—Madam Wang—carried a lantern and came out of Luo Yannian’s study. She stopped at the vermilion railing in the middle of the long corridor and looked ahead.

The bushes beside her moved slightly.

The Second Butler—Wang Cheng—appeared and said in a low voice, “Those men have been guarding there. Other than the last time he went to the bookstore, he hasn’t come out again. The one-month deadline is up, so it will probably be done during these two days.”

Madam Wang looked elsewhere with a dark expression. “How many people?”

Wang Cheng said respectfully, “There are five of them. They’re all outlaws, and one of them is a martial artist. It’s more than enough to deal with that kid.”

“What about Wang Pu?”

“He’ll follow from afar. He’ll personally verify the body afterward. He’s seen the kid in the residence and knows what he looks like, ” Wang Cheng replied.

Madam Wang lowered her head and looked at the flickering flame in the lantern in her hand. She said in a low voice, “You know that Yu’er is preparing for the exam. Dragon Academy greatly values their students’ characters…”

Wang Cheng lowered his head and said, “Madam, don’t worry. If anything goes wrong, Wang Pu will bear the responsibility alone. I can guarantee this with my life.”

Madam Wang did not say anything else and left with the lantern.

After taking a few steps, she looked ahead and said, “I heard that he has a sister. After this ends, you can get his sister to enter the residence. When the time comes, she can accompany Yu’er to the capital.”

When Wang Cheng heard this, he was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked her.

“Thank you, Madam!”

Madam Wang’s expression was calm as she slowly walked away..
