Volume 1: Phoenix Nirvana, Reborn from the Flames Chapter 36: Kind of Like

  The moon's face and hand gestures converged, exchanging a glance with the flower-like appearance. A soft hum escaped her lips as she swiftly retreated back to Qian Ye's side, no longer making any movements.

  Qin Yanlian and others immediately paid their respects, "Your humble servants pay homage to Your Majesty."

  The one wearing dark blue casual attire was indeed the Emperor of Dayong, Yu Tianling. Two men in gray clothes followed behind him. Yu Tianling's face was dignified and his eyes were bright and spirited. As soon as he entered, he glanced around at everything in the courtyard with a hint of surprise. The large courtyard was filled with peonies scattered all over the ground. When he saw Qianye Li standing in the courtyard, his face showed a look of astonishment. He ordered others to bow down and walked forward with big strides, saying loudly: "Night King has come to Dayong, how could you not notify me? It seems that Dayong is ignorant of etiquette!"

  Qian Ye Li raised his fan and said, "I, the king, have come to your country to attend the grand banquet at the behest of Dong Lei. I've heard that Dayong Mountain River is beautiful and has talented people, so I rushed over in a hurry. When I arrived at General Mu's residence... just then, you, the ruler of Dayong, arrived."

  With a loud laugh, Ling Tian's eyes sparkled with a deep light, "I wonder how the Night King appreciates this?"

  "It's okay, I guess!" Qian Ye Li smiled faintly and her eyes inadvertently drifted to where Qing Ge was sitting. She saw that Qing Ge was only staring at the ring on the armrest of the wicker chair, seemingly oblivious to everything else around her. She hadn't even greeted anyone earlier, her breath was steady, and she had completely isolated herself from everyone else.

  She was immersed in the sunlight, with a warm halo surrounding her body, but it couldn't stain her at all. Her profile was indifferent and cold, and there was no expression in her eyes under her eyelashes.

  He suddenly became a little curious and wondered what this girl saw in her icy eyes.

  "That's good, since we've met the Night King here, why don't you come with me to the imperial palace? I'll have a grand feast prepared and entertain you properly." Yu Ling Tian said slowly, his tone gentle.

  Others stood by, bowing their heads respectfully.

  Qian Ye smiled faintly and said, "I was thinking of asking Your Majesty for a moment of your time, may I?"

  "Night King, please proceed." Yu Ling Tian nodded and said, with a hint of doubt in his eyes. This Eastern Lightning Night King was the most unpredictable in his actions, and today's encounter proved it to be true. He wondered what he wanted to do in this brief moment.

  Under the gaze of many, Qian Ye Lide Zuo Ran fluttered and walked towards the gate of the imperial court. As he passed by a young girl's side, his footsteps stopped, and he slightly bent down to ask softly behind Qing Ge: "Hmmm... You're called Mu Qing Ge, right?"

  A faint scent of fragrance came from behind the man, as elusive as a person, faintly seeming to exist and yet not. Qing Ge furrowed her brow and said, "Why ask such an unnecessary question." Everyone on the rooftop had been listening for so long, how could they not know her name?

  "Don't be so cold, if we don't save this girl soon, it'll be too late." Qian Ye Li didn't get angry, his eyes shining with a hint of smile, looking at Ping Er who was pale as paper on the rattan chair, he let out a soft sigh, seemingly regretful.

  "Can you save her?" His tone was clear and unmistakable. He stood up, turned around, and said to Qianye Lixiang: "If you can save her, hurry up!"

  Hua Rong's face was once again filled with discontent. Which family's daughter, upon seeing the prince, wouldn't be infatuated and have a flattering expression? But this one in front of her, had an icy cold face, no matter how good-looking she was, what use was it? Could anyone be more handsome than their master? She opened her mouth to defend her master: "You, woman, how dare you speak to our prince like that!"

  "I'm talking to your king, do you think it's your turn to interrupt?" Qing Ge's cold gaze swept across, and suddenly Hua Rong felt a chill run down his spine, that kind of stern and murderous aura gradually began to envelop him, making his whole body involuntarily tense up in vigilance.

  Looking at the girl in front of him, whose face was filled with a cool aura, his dark eyes gleamed with a hint of coldness. Qian Ye's eyes moved slightly as he raised his left hand and swung it backwards, striking Hua Rong's head, "Master, I'm talking to you, go away."

  Her face puffed up, still wanting to say more, Moon's appearance pulled him back, gently shaking her head. This girl isn't someone you can easily provoke. He could feel a palpable murderous aura emanating from her, and his skills were probably, no, absolutely surpassed by hers. The master must have seen this too, which is why he chased Huā Róng away.

  "I can save, but I won't save for free, I don't do business at a loss." Qian Ye's tone was neither rushed nor slow, she shook her slender fingers, with a faint smile on her face, and her enchanting eyes sparkled like crystal, enough to make other women dizzy.

  But the person in front of her was Qing Ge, and no matter how beautiful she looked on the outside, to her, it was just a good-looking face. She remained calm and composed, gazing past him as if he were invisible, slightly raising an eyebrow, and said in a clear voice: "Conditions, quickly!"

  "Alright, on one condition... come a bit closer, don't let others hear..." Qian Ye Li slowly moved closer to Qing Ge, the smile in her eyes growing thicker.

  The warm breeze blew by, blowing up the girl's hair, her slender body fragrance mixed with the warmth of the air, seemingly warm and gentle, but when it seeped into my heart, it hid a hint of coolness like a snowy night, icy and pure, a very special scent. For a thousand nights, my soul was entranced, and in my eyes, an unusual glow flowed like spring water. A beautiful voice whispered softly: "The fragrance is like the person, beautiful but cold..."

  Suddenly, her eyes paused abruptly, and the light in her glass-like pupils stopped for a moment.

  The dagger in the girl's hand was pressed against his lower ribs, the chill of the steel seeping through the peacock-blue robe and clinging to his skin.

  A thousand nights, a chill in her heart, when did she make her move? He didn't even notice, was it the moment he smelled the fragrance? Her sharp judgment, in that brief instant, she grasped it, few people in the world can do this, and she actually succeeded!

  He became even more curious about her...

  "I don't have time to waste words with you, are you going to save her or not?" The soft and tender voice unique to girls whispered in his ear, the tone was light but without a hint of warmth. If it weren't for seeing that he could save Ping'er, she would have been rude to him long ago.

  "Hehe, Qing Ge, I think I've taken a liking to you...". Qian Ye's wrist moved slightly, and the golden fan seemed to weigh two thousand catties, but in reality it was full of internal energy, blocking Qing Ge's dagger.

  "Get out if you can't save!" Qing Ge spat coldly, her wrist twisting as a small whirlwind sent the dagger dancing towards his chest.

  At such a rapid speed, the man was shocked in his heart, but still smiled on his face. The golden fan wrapped around like a snake, blocking the sharp blade of the dagger. With a hint of grievance, he said: "I didn't say I wouldn't save you, just now I got the condition, so... Moon Face, it's yours!"

  "Yes." Yue Miao nodded slightly and walked over to examine Ping'er's pulse on the rattan chair. Hua Rong was beside her, pouting so much that it seemed like she was about to touch the sky. She squatted next to her brother, propping up her cheek with her hand, and asked: "Brother, Master is really strange. The more Qing Ge ignores him, the more he wants to go see her. Those women are clinging to him, but he doesn't even bother to acknowledge them. Why is that?"

  After feeling the pulse, she took out a pale yellow porcelain jade bottle from her bosom and poured out a light yellow pill to feed Ping'er. She glanced at Qianye Li standing in front of the girl with a smile, and replied with her eyes cast down: "Ask Master."

  Three words, one cannot be less, one cannot be more, extremely concise.

  "You'll die if you say one more word!" Hua Rong glared at Yue Mao with a puffed up face, rolling her eyes. They were twins, so why did her brother act like his life was in danger whenever he spoke?

  Qing Ge and Qian Ye were extremely close, their hands moving in and out under the clothes, attacking and defending each other without anyone noticing. Even Ling Tian and Mu Zong Pei didn't see it, but they saw them with harmonious expressions, a picture of perfect harmony.

  Mu Zongpei's eyes became increasingly complex, with an inexplicable gaze that was hard to decipher, staring at Qingge. The corner of his eye caught Yuling Tian's gaze also fixed on Qingge, his face changing several times, with a hint of chilliness emerging.
