1094: Nan Xian’s Whereabouts I

Nan Xian’s Whereabouts I

Why did she have a sudden urge to eat snake soup?1

"Then why did I see you trying to escape?" Feng Ruqing put her arms around her chest. She smiled and looked down at the little azure snake on the ground.

Qing Zhu stiffened and hesitated for a moment. "Hmm, because I remember that I haven't bathed for almost a year and I was afraid that the stink would blow your head off. So after I saw you, I planned to take a bath first, then I will come back to see you again."

"Is it true?" Feng Ruqing narrowed her eyes teasingly.

Qing Zhu almost cried, but it was still wearing a smile on its face.

Imagine the smile of a snake, how weird that would be.

"Princess, I swear, my heart is only for you."

"Okay, I'll pass all these words to the state preceptor."

Qing Zhu wanted to cry out this time and it felt that it could no longer escape the fate of being snake soup.

"It's okay." Feng Ruqing had stopped teasing it when she saw that Qing Zhu was on the verge of crying. She smiled and asked, "How did you get here? Did the state preceptor send you to me? Where did he go again?"

Qing Zhu froze and it suddenly burst out crying as it had remembered the purpose it had come for Feng Ruqing.

"Princess, the state preceptor and I went to a mausoleum where the master of that mausoleum was called the Ninth Emperor or something. I don't know why the state preceptor had suddenly passed out just after he opened the gate.

"I dragged my master out of the mausoleum with all that I have. But, before I had time to take him away, he was picked up by some humans.

"I hid when I saw those humans, that's why I didn't get caught. I have been wandering around for more than half a year to save my master before I finally met you. Princess, will those people turn my master into a human meat bun? Sob, I feel like I'll never see my master again..."

Qing Zhu cried out loudly as if it had suffered a lot.

It also wanted to talk about how hard it had been these days, but before it could speak, Feng Ruqing had picked up its tail and dragged it out like a dead snake.

"I don't know whether the state preceptor will be a human meat bun or not. But… you will be a bowl of snake soup soon."

The young girl's voice was cold and expressionless. Her eyes darkened.

'Why… why...' Qing Zhu cried pitifully. 'It is not easy for a snake like me wandering alone in this strange world. Don't you know what I've been through these days? A female snake had molested me. A human took me away and had almost turned me into snake soup.'

It had suffered so much, but the princess did not even care for it!

Feng Ruqing's footsteps did not stop as she said, "You should have told me earlier about the state preceptor. Ah Wang, you will stay here. Gu Yiyi and the second uncle need someone to protect them. I will leave with the other spirit beasts. Snake Soup, where is the state preceptor?"

Qing Zhu was so scared that it had turned even greener before it said in fear, "Princess, my name is Qing Zhu. It's the same name you have chosen for me, and I really love it..."

"Where's the state preceptor? Snake Soup, don't make me ask for the third time."

Qing Zhu stiffened again. "Haitian Kingdom. Princess, I still prefer you to call me Qing Zhu, I'm no Snake Soup."
