CHAPTER 827: CHAPTER 827: DECLINE OF BEAUTY AND LOVE (12)

"Pfft."

At that moment, a soft laugh came from the rooftop.

Both Bai Gongzi and Quan Jinbei looked up towards the beam.

There, a woman dressed in black night clothes was lying down. She wore a veil over her face, and the night clothes accentuated her slender waist, making her seem exceptionally beautiful.

"Little Young Master~" The woman on the beam spoke, her elongated tone carrying a hint of seduction, "The long night drags on and sleep evades me. How about we have a little chat?"

A scared Xiaosi, worried about being struck by lightning, ran back, only to meet the woman’s eyes on the beam.

Xiaosi: "!!!"

My goodness! Where did this monster come from?

Waaaah, this world is really too scary.

Danger is everywhere.

So terrifying.

Xiaosi was scared witless, trembling all over, looking extremely pitiful.

Shi Yaoguang gave him a sidelong glance, snorted lightly, "Do I really look that terrifying?"

She deliberately lowered her voice, making it sound slightly electric.

Xiaosi: "!!!"

And she says she’s not a demon!

This is definitely a demon!

Waaaah, too terrifying.

Watching Xiaosi scared out of his wits, Shi Yaoguang snorted again, and deftly leaped down from the beam.

The terror in Xiaosi’s eyes became even more apparent.

He looked at Shi Yaoguang as if she were a psychotic killer.

Shi Yaoguang was speechless, "I didn’t even do anything to you, do you really need to be this scared?"

She was genuinely confused.

Xiaosi whimpered in fear, "Are you...are you a demon?"

Shi Yaoguang’s eyes shifted, and she spoke again in a voice crackling with electricity, "I am a deity."

Xiaosi blinked, showing a stunned expression, "Re-really?"

"Nope."

Shi Yaoguang didn’t hesitate.

Xiaosi: "..."

What’s with this woman, is it real or not?

Bai Gongzi finally recovered from his initial shock, his gaze full of amazement, "Are you the legendary fairy?"

He looked at her with an infatuated expression, "At a glance, one can see you’re no ordinary fairy..."

Xiaosi was stunned.

Why is Bai Gongzi praising her so enthusiastically, what’s going on?

This is too thrilling!

Thinking this, Xiaosi’s gaze furtively glided over Shi Yaoguang again.

She was clearly not an ordinary person, for Bai Gongzi to praise her like that, he could only say, we mortal men are nothing in comparison.

As Xiaosi compared Bai Gongzi to the heroic Xu who could tame snakes, his young master’s gaze also fell on Shi Yaoguang.

Previously, when Quan Jinbei saw Princess Zhaoyang, he didn’t feel any sense of familiarity.

At that time, he didn’t suspect anything.

All the conditions pointed to Princess Zhaoyang being the person he was looking for.

However.

The woman in night clothes before him gave him a feeling of timelessness at first glance.

It had nothing to do with her appearance.

Just one look made him feel "she’s the one."

This feeling came abruptly and inexplicably.

But it made his heart feel more at ease.

Yes.

It must be her!

She is the one he’s been searching for!

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but look at Shi Yaoguang with fervent eyes.

Xiaosi finally noticed that Quan Jinbei’s gaze was off.

He felt a jolt in his heart, thinking his young master might be acting strange too?

This woman obviously looked very suspicious...

While Xiaosi was anxiously thinking about finding a way to deal with the fearsome woman in front of them, the woman spoke again.

This time, he clearly noticed that the gaze of the woman, who might be a deity or a demon, was fixed on him.

He heard her say, "My dear, you seem interesting. Why don’t... you become mine?"

Xiaosi: "????"

What did he do wrong?

Why does he have to bear such an unbearable burden?

He really didn’t have Xu Xian’s courage!

He didn’t want this kind of fortune at all!

Thinking of this, he blurted out, "I, I refuse!"

He said, pointing at Bai Gongzi, shifting the trouble, "Why don’t you go to him! I, I believe he would definitely be willing to follow you!"

Bai Gongzi’s mouth twitched, "Whether I’m willing is one thing. Shifting the trouble is another."

Xiaosi didn’t care if Bai Gongzi was willing or not, he insisted, "You just agreed! Now it’s too late to say anything else. If you’re not willing, I’ll tell the demon... fairy!"

Shi Yaoguang: "..."

She was somewhat helpless, "I can hear you."

Xiaosi: "..."

He had an expression of covering his ears, "I don’t know, I know nothing."

"Don’t think just because you said something, I’ll listen to you. I’ll tell you, I won’t listen, I won’t listen, I just won’t listen!"

Shi Yaoguang: "..."

Don’t look at how cowardly he is, he’s actually not scared at all when you look closely.

At this time, she heard Quan Jinbei’s sour voice.

"Xiaoye, why would you rather let Bai Gongzi have this great opportunity, but not let your young master have it?"

Xiaoye, or Xiaosi, looked very serious, he gazed at Quan Jinbei with a hurtful expression, "Young Master, women are nothing good, don’t be deceived by their appearance!"

Saying so, Xiaoye’s face stiffened.

Because he noticed...

Shi Yaoguang only showed her eyes.

There basically was no so-called "appearance."

She didn’t even use her beauty, and his young master was already falling.

The more Xiaoye thought about it, the more he felt it was a pity.

He also felt the young master’s judgment was clouded by emotions, he couldn’t help but say, "Young Master, don’t forget, you’re still living at the Princess Mansion!"

"Your sweetheart is Princess Zhaoyang!"

Quan Jinbei: "..."

At this moment, he had an urge to hit Xiaosi.

Xiaoye’s words continued, "Young Master, don’t change your view of Princess Zhaoyang because of one woman! Have you forgotten how much you liked Princess Zhaoyang before? Without her, how could you go on?"

Quan Jinbei’s brow twitched, "Xiaoye, when did I ever say I couldn’t live without Princess Zhaoyang?"

Xiaoye: "Previously, you clearly had the chance to leave the Princess Mansion, but you stayed for her, isn’t that enough proof?"

If it were him, he would have run away long ago with Quan Jinbei’s conditions.

Though staying by the princess’s side and becoming her man could also be advantageous.

But there’s this one saying.

As beauty fades, love wanes.

The young master is already not favored by the princess now, despite being so young and handsome.

In the future, when the young master gets older, the princess will like him even less.

At that point, it’d be too late for regrets.

"Young Master, stop being delusional. I always felt the princess didn’t favor you. Even if you stayed, you might not win her heart; it’s better to make a life for yourself outside."
