Chapter 244: You Have Me in Everything, There is No Need to Worry
“All right, Little Chuxi, I’ll take my leave first. I really anticipate your performance during the fighting ring competition.” Huangfu Qingjue stretched out his hand to gently pat Ling Chuxi’s head as he smiled. “You have me in everything, so you don’t have to worry.”
“I’m not worried,” snorted Ling Chuxi. “I’ll deal with things as they come! If soldiers come, I’ll go on defense, if water rushes at me, I’ll use soil to cover it up.”
“True. Indeed, indeed. Little Chuxi is unrivalled. You must get first place in this time’s fighting ring competition. I will reward you if you get first place,” said Huangfu Qingjue with a smile upon hearing Ling Chuxi’s confident words.
“Oh? What reward?” Ling Chuxi’s eyes lit up as she asked excitedly.
“How about a kiss?” replied Huangfu Qingjue with a wicked smile.
“You might as well reward me with a roasted suckling pig,” said Ling Chuxi as she waved her hand in disdain.
The corner of Huangfu Qingjue’s lips twitched. He didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry. Could it be that he himself was not even as charming as a roasted sucking pig in her eyes? Forget it. This little thing only knew how to eat. Since he knew her, didn’t he already know this?
“There will be many elites gathering in the fighting ring competition this time. You have to be a bit more careful,” advised Huangfu Qingjue worriedly before he left. Although he was around and everything was not a problem, he could not help but caution her still.
“Yeah, don’t worry about me,” said Ling Chuxi as she waved her hand. “You yourself should be careful in the Deity Temple. The waters definitely run deep there.” Would the Deity Temple which had forces everywhere be a simple place to survive in? Ling Chuxi still felt a little worried about Huangfu Qingjue in the depths of her heart.
“Rest assured. Nobody can do anything to me.” A faint smile appeared on Huangfu Qingjue’s face as a strong self-confidence and domineering attitude could be seen between his brows. This was a natural kind of might that was revealed without a need to intentionally show it.
“How arrogant!” muttered Ling Chuxi, but she did not doubt Huangfu Qingjue’s words.
Huangfu Qingjue smiled and quietly disappeared again after bidding farewell to Ling Chuxi.
“Huangfu Qingjue, Huangfu Qingjue. Who exactly are you?” Ling Chuxi sprawled her arms out across the table as she asked this question aloud to herself. This question did not have an answer to it. Or at least for now, it didn’t.
Just then, a knock sounded at her door.
“Chuxi, Zhuoyi is here,” said Ling Yichen’s voice from behind the door.
“Eh? Ah? Zhuoyi! That guy is finally here!” exclaimed Ling Chuxi happily. She stood up and immediately went to open the door. “Where is he now?”
“At the academy. He will be coming over immediately once he’s finished there. I have sent someone to pick him up.” Ling Yichen smiled. “That’s right, how was it entering the palace today? Did the emperor and Consort Li make things difficult for you?”
“No. It was nothing to worry about. Consort Li is very nice,” said Ling Chuxi happily with a shake of her head. “Since Zhuoyi is here, let’s have a big meal tonight to celebrate.”
The main point was the latter part of her sentence. Eating was the main point. “All right, sure,” agreed Ling Yichen with a smile. His eyes were filled with the intention to pamper. Seeing Ling Chuxi so full of life, he also felt very happy in his heart. When that little fox disappeared, Ling Chuxi looked like she had lost her soul and that made him feel as though his own heart was being clenched. That version of Ling Chuxi was one that he really did not wish to see again.
That afternoon, Xia Zhuoyi arrived at the residence. Ling Chuxi was a little surprised once she met Xia Zhuoyi again. There was an additional determination etched into Xia Zhuoyi’s delicate and handsome face. His body remained a little skinny, but it looked sturdier than before and he looked more energetic. Furthermore, his cultivation level had improved, and he was currently already at Battle Qi Level 6 Pinnacle stage and was about to break through to Level 7. Xia Zhuoyi had also registered for the fighting ring competition this time.
