Chapter 621 - 0361 Watching Half-Demon (Two-in-One)_2

Though speechless for a moment, her face instinctively showed the same helpless expression as usual.

Beside her, Xu Chang’an wasn’t surprised.

The girls in the Flower Moon Building have always had great relationships.

But Yun Qian looked seriously at the girl who rushed out.

She seemed fifteen or sixteen, wearing a little yellow dress, adorned with colorful decorations, and even had rouge applied to her small face.

The outfit was bright, almost garish, yet Yun Qian found her to be a very delicate girl.

"What are you doing here? I know there’s a banquet tonight, I’ll be on my way soon." Miss Aqing felt Xu Chang’an and Yun Qian’s gaze from behind and sighed softly.

"I’m waiting for you, sister." The girl in yellow smiled.

"I’ve told you before, don’t be so reckless. If the young masters see you, where is the dignity?" Miss Aqing was quite helpless.

"Young master?" The girl in yellow blinked and suddenly saw Xu Chang’an behind Miss Aqing, and was startled.

"Xu, Xu, Xu..."

She seemed frightened but instead of letting go of Miss Aqing, she held on tighter.

"It’s Young Master Xu." Miss Aqing used force to pull the girl off herself, then pressed the girl’s head, and they both bowed.

"Excuse us for the laughter, Young Master."

"It’s nothing." Xu Chang’an smiled and shook his head.

How should one put it...

Seeing the brothel girls getting along so closely is indeed quite interesting.

"Hmm." Miss Aqing nodded.

The girl in yellow clung tightly to Miss Aqing’s clothes but was also curious, occasionally stealing glances at Xu Chang’an and the well-concealed Yun Qian.

After a while, she realized and whispered, "Sister Qing, the banquet tonight... is to entertain the young master. No wonder Steward Lu is so attentive."

"You... talk less." Miss Aqing bid farewell to Xu Chang’an and Yun Qian, then turned and walked toward the street.

"Sister, I..."

The girl in yellow wanted to say something but heard Miss Aqing’s helpless voice.

"If you utter nonsense again, I’ll let it bite you."

Along with Miss Aqing’s words, the Little Cyan Snake at her ankle cooperatively let out a frightening "hiss."

Indeed, the girl in yellow shrunk her neck, muttering.

"Sister Qing is good in everything except she likes to raise this creature. Even if it doesn’t bite, it’s still very scary."

"Afraid, then don’t cling so close to me." Miss Aqing walked a few steps forward, clearly feeling... Xu Chang’an and Yun Qian were still watching her.

How to describe this feeling...

In the future, if the young master truly learns of her identity, it would be considered complete black history.

But she really had no way with this little girl.

After all, who would dislike a girl who is mischievous at times but occasionally cooks good food for you?

So, this body of hers, is truly a girl from the Flower Moon Building, it’s something she can’t help.

The grand master of the Holy Teachings Profound Sect, being cuddled and nudged by a girl with no cultivation or striking looks... anyone knowing this would drop their jaw.

"Sister always says things that contradict her heart." The girl in yellow shook her head but then blinked: "However, Sister Qing is right, it’s not good to always cling to you. Auntie also said that to me... Well, I won’t wear yellow skirts from now on."

Miss Aqing: "?"

"Auntie said, you like Qingyi, I like Huangyi... Clinging to you always makes people feel that the Flower Moon Building will see a shortage." The yellow-dressed girl said earnestly.

"..."

Miss Aqing twitched at the words, then sighed: "Auntie is teasing you, can’t you tell?"

"Eh? Really?" The girl blinked, then smiled: "It’s not important."

"As you wish."

"Oh, by the way, Sister Qing, your Pear Blossom Umbrella is very pretty, where did you buy it? I’ll go get one too."

"It’s Pingniang’s, don’t even know if it’s mine yet."

"Oh."

This clearly shows she is a girl from the Flower Moon Building because they call her "Ms. Zhu" formally and "Pingniang" privately; all the women inside do this.

At this point, Miss Aqing had already walked a bit, yet she could still... feel the gaze from behind, suddenly bewildered.

Young Master?

What is this for?

Having already left, why don’t he and that Miss Yun immediately go see Zhu Pingniang and stand staring at her back...

?

If she didn’t know it was impossible, she might even think her identity was exposed and he’s amused by seeing her tangled with a maid.

Miss Aqing puzzled, quickened her pace.

Here, Yun Qian was also curious why Xu Chang’an was staring at her back.

Interested?

Thus Miss Yun asked, "What are you looking at?"

"Miss." Xu Chang’an said helplessly, "The seal on Miss Aqing has dissipated."

"Seal?" Yun Qian tilted her head, not quite understanding.

"Yes, it started to dissipate when I entered this area. I don’t know if it’s because of me or Senior Zhu’s arrangement... I’m unsure, so I watched a bit longer." Xu Chang’an was quite hesitant.

"What are you talking about? I don’t quite understand." Yun Qian was even more puzzled.

"Her eyes." Xu Chang’an spoke outright.

"Eyes?" Yun Qian blinked and suddenly understood.

Miss Aqing’s eyes... had turned light green.

Therefore, Xu Chang’an was worried that the girl’s half-demon identity was exposed but wasn’t sure if it was Zhu Pingniang’s arrangement, so he ended up staring, uncertain if he should intervene and temporarily cover it.

But, Xu Chang’an quickly gave up.

"Given Senior Zhu’s character, she’d definitely know the seal she set had dissipated. It must be her arrangement... I won’t interfere then." Xu Chang’an shook his head, thinking there was no need for him to meddle in the affairs of Zhu Pingniang’s girls.

This understanding is also derived from Xu Chang’an’s understanding of Zhu Pingniang.

She’s too detailed.

"Hmm."

Yun Qian responded, then saw Xu Chang’an staring into the distance.

"?"

"Miss..." Xu Chang’an’s tone carried a bit of an oddity.

"What’s wrong?"

"Miss Aqing was found out about her eye change."

"..."

——

Just then, the girl in yellow suddenly stopped, stepping back lightly, and stared in astonishment at Miss Aqing’s eyes.

"Sister, your eyes... how did they become green?" The girl seemed puzzled.

"Is that so?" Miss Aqing was not surprised.

She certainly noticed her eye seal had dissipated.

But she was clear; Zhu Pingniang actively dissipated this seal, though she is now just an ordinary girl and could only pretend not to know.

Sudden break from ignorance, all she could do was show her attitude.

"My eyes... turned green?" Miss Aqing chuckled lightly: "Why do you think that is?"

"Sister, Auntie said we’re not allowed to use those potions." The girl in yellow looked worriedly at Miss Aqing, "They look nice but are bad for the eyes."

"When have you ever seen me use those?" Miss Aqing touched her hair.

"True, sister you don’t like using rouge." The girl nodded, then said: "Then it must be Pingniang; she’s from the Immortal Sect, suddenly making you perform... Seriously, sister you are already beautiful, no need for such embellishment."

Miss Aqing lowered her head, staring blankly for a while at the girl in front not knowing whether to call her dumb or smart.

This girl’s definition of beauty, well, her aesthetics need improvement.

Suddenly Miss Aqing spoke.

"I’m a half-demon. Does saying this make it simpler?"

"Half-demon? Sister, don’t scare me, I’m most afraid of half-demons." The girl was startled, then turned pale.

Miss Aqing looked at her hand being tightly grasped and sighed helplessly: "If you’re scared, let me go."

"Sister wants to scare me, it’s not that easy."

"It’s true, being in the Flower Moon Building."

Really don’t know how Zhu Pingniang raised these girls of the Flower Moon Building like this.

Miss Aqing glanced back at Xu Chang’an, seeing that young master had a charming smile on his face... For a moment, her pretty face flushed, then she turned around and quickly left.

"Sister Qing, it must be Pingniang who gave you makeup. I’ll go and complain to Steward Lu that she bullied people when I return."

"...Stop talking."
