The little princess was torn, and the demon emperor patched her up

Chapter 128 I will stare at the little princess forever
Shang Bingjiu watched the firefly fly away from his fingertips and looked at Xiao Baojing with a smile.

Xiao Baojing pursed her pale pink lips and subconsciously took a half step back. The layers of her skirt swayed in pale ripples before dawn.

"I'm hungry……"

The boy approached her, leaned down slightly, and buried his head in her neck like a big dog.

His breath was warm, with a scent like dew on grass and trees.

Xiao Baojing swallowed, sniffed his scent, suppressed his nervousness and fear, tentatively raised his hand, and gently stroked his head.

This subtle movement made Shang Bingjiu relax completely.

Xiao Baojing tried: "How about I make you a roast chicken?"

Stop eating random things.

The boy smiled in the crook of her neck and murmured "OK".

Xiao Baojing ran to the small kitchen and made a plump roast chicken.

When I walked back with the roast chicken, it was already bright.

She happened to pass by the room where Yue Niang lived. She remembered that she had been busy with the funeral these two days and had not had time to visit her, so she knocked on the door and said, "Yue Niang, are you up?"

The room was quiet.

Xiao Baojing felt uneasy and opened the door himself.

The pillows and bedding in the room were neatly folded, but the person who lived here was nowhere to be seen.

There was a basin of water on the floor, facing the direction where the moon was shining through the stained glass window.

Xiao Baojing's hands trembled.

The roast chicken on the plate fell to the ground in an instant.

Moon Lady is gone...

She returned to Gu Song again.

Is Gu Zhenliang so important to her?
Xiao Baojing couldn't tell what he felt, so he could only bend down to pick up the roast chicken and returned to the peddler's bedroom with a heavy heart.

Shang Bingjiu had washed up and was kneeling obediently beside the food table. He poured himself some hot tea and waited attentively for Xiao Baojing's roast chicken.

Xiao Baojing put down the roasted chicken listlessly: "Your chicken."

Shang Bingjiu stared at the dust on the roasted chicken: "It's dirty."

"You eat everything, even the palace, and you still care if the roast chicken is dirty? Just eat it, there's no need to make such a fuss."

Xiao Baojing waved his hands and lay down on the floor, just like a husband who didn't care about the family affairs.

Business disease wine: ...

He moved in front of Xiao Baojing, without saying a word, just knelt there with his hands in his pockets, looking at her with a warm smile through his fox eyes.

Xiao Baojing was annoyed and scared: "What are you doing?!"

Shang Bingjiu smiled: "I will keep watching the little princess forever."

Xiao Baojing: "..."

It was as if if she didn't clean the roast chicken for him, he really planned to keep staring at her until he got too hungry and ate her!

She was covered in hair and had to sit up reluctantly to clean the roast chicken for him.

Fortunately, the peddler was easy to satisfy and easy to deal with. She wiped the roast chicken carelessly with a handkerchief, and he happily began to eat it. Unlike the past when he would swallow the whole chicken, this time he at least spit out the bones.

Xiao Baojing sat beside him and watched him eat, muttering, "I didn't see you being particular before, but now you are... All I know is that you only know how to torment me..."

As he was talking, Lu Yu'an suddenly came over. He said in a gentle voice, "Miss Xiao, His Majesty invites you to the palace to talk."

Xiao Baojing didn't know what Xiao Nanjia wanted to say to her.

Among the monsters, she is most afraid of the peddler, and among the humans, she is most afraid of Xiao Nanjia.

These two are worthy of being the male and female protagonists in the original work!
Xiao Baojing took the sedan chair brought by Lu Yu'an and entered the palace awkwardly.

Xiao Nanjia met her in the Imperial Garden.

It is winter and all the flowers have withered. Only the holly, pine and cypress are still green, embedded in the garden like dark green jade. One look at them makes you marvel at their vigorous vitality.

Xiao Baojing looked up.

A young girl in a blue and gold waisted brocade robe stood in the pavilion with her back to her.

The hem of her robe was embroidered with coiled dragon patterns in gold thread, which were lifelike and intricate, and swayed in the biting cold wind, giving off an oppressive aura that made people submit.

With her straight spine and tall figure, she looks even more steady and powerful than an ordinary young man, which makes people wonder how much terrifying explosive power is hidden in her body as flexible as a willow branch.

Xiao Baojing sighed quietly in his heart.

She rolled up her skirt and resigned herself to the fate of walking up the stone steps to meet Xiao Nanjia.

Finally climbing up the stone steps, Xiao Baojing asked, panting, "What do you want from me?"

Xiao Nanjia turned around and looked at her, his brows knitted slightly. "You're just climbing a few steps, but you're out of breath like this? You're really useless."

Xiao Baojing: "..."

She is so unlucky!

She came to Xiao Nanjia to be scolded!

And it’s called “a few steps”, it’s obviously dozens of steps!

She said angrily: "If you are alright, I will leave first. I haven't settled the score with you for pushing me down from the restaurant last time! Don't bother me again in the future!"

She was about to leave angrily when she heard Xiao Nanjia speak softly behind her: "I want you to tell me what Chao Yuan's real purpose is - or rather, what the real purpose of the peddler next to you is."

Xiao Baojing stopped suddenly.

Xiao Nanjia stepped closer to her with his hands behind his back, lowering his eyes to look at the white velvet flower she had pinned next to her hair: "Chao Yuan, Shang Bingjiu... You have probably discovered that they are actually the same person, right?"

Xiao Baojing tightly grasped the shoulder bag, lowered his head and did not dare to look back at her expression, his eyelashes fluttering: "I... I don't understand what you are saying!"

"Thousands of years ago, the human race and the demon race were at war. Seeing that the human race was losing, the human emperor sent envoys to persuade the Golden Crows. The ten Golden Crows chose to stand on the side of the human race and appeared in the demon race's territory at the same time day and night until the rivers in that territory dried up and the land was barren for thousands of miles."

Xiao Nanjia knew that period of history very well, and he recounted it in detail: "At the critical moment, in order to save his millions of people, the Demon Emperor transformed himself into a giant heavenly dog and intended to devour the Golden Crow. He spent three days and three nights devouring nine suns one after another, until the tenth one, when he finally died of exhaustion, causing the smallest Golden Crow to escape - which is now the Sun."

"People thought that the battle between humans and demons had finally come to an end, but little did they know that the Demon Emperor had a younger brother." Xiao Nanjia walked to the side of the pavilion with his hands behind his back, overlooking the scenery of the Imperial Garden in the distance. "He behaves in an absurd and unpredictable manner, has a treacherous and violent temperament, and likes to deceive people and play with the world. He is more difficult to deal with than the Demon Emperor."

The north wind is chilly.

Xiao Baojing looked up at the sky.

The sun was hidden in the thick leaden clouds, and its face could not be seen.

Her fingertips felt cold, and she recalled what the peddler had said before:
——This is the magic my brother taught me.

——My brother is very capable.

——My brother is dead.

So, the peddler is the Demon Emperor’s younger brother?
Xiao Nanjia said quietly, "He hid very well. He took on many identities, walked between dynasties, provoked wars among nations, and ate the treasures of heaven and earth and human souls. He was not discovered until the Ji Le Temple case of the Gu Song Dynasty. The most powerful and upright Confucian scholars in the world sealed him together and sent him to the former territory of the demon race. They also used their own flesh and blood and bones as a banner to build a demon wall that stretched for thousands of miles to prevent him from coming back to the human world after waking up. But it is obvious that the human race failed."
