Minglong

Chapter 419 If you don’t do it, you won’t stop.

As dawn broke, the warm spring sun shone on the windowsill.

Jiang Xian was sleeping soundly on the bed. In her hazy state, she suddenly felt a cold wind brush against her face, as if she were in a frozen wasteland. She pulled the blankets up to wrap herself in, but it still couldn't ward off the biting cold. She couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Is it snowing?"

I opened my eyes and looked out the window, only to see a hundred flowers blooming in vibrant colors, but there was no sign of snow.

A large, jet-black lump of coal was perched on the dressing table by the bedside, raising its wings and flapping them vigorously, creating a breeze that carried a chilling cold.

When he realized she was awake, Coal Ball stopped shaking his head and showing off:
"Gujiguji~"

"Hey? How did you do that?"

Jiang Xian was clearly unaware of why the coal ball had suddenly evolved from a fan into an air conditioner. She sat up, picked it up, and looked it over from side to side.

Coal Ball did this to show that he had learned what he was taught and to ask for a reward. He found that the White-Haired Old Demon was pretending not to know, and his eyes showed a look of confusion. However, it did not stop him from begging for food. He started shaking his head and acting cute to ask for breakfast.

Jiang Xian glanced at the sky and realized it was getting late. She was also a little hungry, so she got up and prepared to go out.

But while I was folding the blankets, I suddenly noticed a large black stripe on the fantasy novel I was reading halfway through last night.

Jiang Xian frowned, picked it up and examined it closely, only to find that all the scenes involving the female lead's interactions had been crossed out with black stripes. Scenes with inappropriate themes, such as "killing for health" or "if I kill you, your things will still be mine," had also been heavily censored. It seemed that about a third of the entire book had been cut…

"what?!"

Jiang Xian was a complete bookworm, so addicted to reading that just reading wasn't enough for him. He actually went to cultivate immortality and saw this scene. He was struck dumb and quickly flipped through the book from beginning to end, only to find that there wasn't a single piece left. He was completely devastated!
After all, she brought this book from the interior of China. She was busy running around on the grasslands all day, and could only read a couple of pages before going to bed. Now that it had just reached its climax, she had it cut down to this bland and tasteless state. Wasn't this going to kill her?!
Moreover, it's one thing to cut out serious scenes and miss a segment, but to specifically remove the parts she likes to watch and leave only the grand principles that make her want to fall asleep.

Who in their right mind would read this stuff in a miscellaneous book?

What's the difference between this and re-enacting sex scenes in official history?

Who on earth could have done this?!

Absolutely outrageous...

Jiang Xian, holding the book, was furious. Her gaze shifted to the coal ball beside her, which was tilting its head and examining it closely.

"Who did this?!"

"Goo?"

The coal ball spread its wings, looking quite innocent.

Jiang Xian had already guessed what was going on, so she took out Xian'er's Diary to check. However, there was no explanation; instead, it warned her not to praise Xie Jinhuan's handsomeness and to be more reserved…

OK OK...

You're getting more and more involved, aren't you?
Do you really think I'm some kind of emotionless clay idol?
You just wait...

Jiang Xian put the book away, turned around and walked out. Mei Qiu quickly followed behind her...
-
The other side.

Wine sets were laid out in the garden, but the women around had already gone to the second round.

The doors and windows of the house next door were tightly closed. The floor inside was covered with a white cashmere carpet, on which were scattered several dresses and empty bottles of lotion.

Xie Jinhuan stood in front of the dressing mirror, carefully adjusting her clothes and hair, her eyes showing a hint of weariness at not wanting to go to work.

After all, we got back late last night and drank together. Tuotuo, Yuehua, Ling'er, and Naigua were all there. Da Momo and Wanyi also came over to take over in the middle of the night. After a round of drinking, it was almost dawn.

They quickly moved on to the second round. Naigua and Momo hadn't gotten on the bus yet, so they didn't participate, but Ling'er Tuotuo and the master and apprentice from Queyue Manor took care of every guest. Before they knew it, it was already broad daylight. It felt a bit rushed, with them using both their hands and mouths...

But the turmoil on the grasslands had not yet subsided, and a small gathering was not an option for a grand affair. Xie Jinhuan's immediate priority was to send Yang Huaxian, Shang Mingzhen, and the others to see the Blood God as soon as possible, then return to the Marquis's residence to recuperate for half a year. He also planned to visit the academy to find skilled craftsmen and have everything in the Golden Tent of Chaochitai replicated...

Wahahaha...

Lost in these thoughts, Xie Jinhuan straightened his robes, looked up and saw that the three guests in the curtained room were fast asleep. He didn't disturb them, but quietly picked up the clothes that were scattered around.

But as I picked up one of the dresses, I heard a sound from beneath my feet:
wow-

The sound of jade beads falling to the ground.

Looking down, one could see an object slip out from under the dress and fall onto the cashmere carpet.

The object is shaped like nine stars in a row, and is made entirely of white jade. It is extremely beautiful and looks like a unique magical artifact...

uh-huh?!
Xie Jinhuan was taken aback, squatted down to examine it closely, and could see that the jade beads were very new, obviously handmade, and then she looked at the plain white dress that Mo Mo wore...

Isn't this just a bunch of lumps of clothing?

No wonder you were hiding your hands behind your back yesterday...

Why didn't you take it out if you brought it... Xie Jinhuan had already calmed down, but Tuotuo had prepared such a nice gift, so she couldn't not express her gratitude. Therefore, she stood up again and walked to the curtain.

Inside the bed curtains, Sister Bu lay on the innermost side, her black-rimmed glasses on the bedside table, a spring quilt draped under her armpits, but her plump, snowy skin could still be seen below her collarbone. She had been playing with the ice block for a long time and was now exhausted, fast asleep.

Knowing that the two seniors would start fighting if they got together, Ling'er naturally stepped in the middle to prevent the situation from escalating. Her round face, tinged with a slight blush, lost its domineering aura as an imperial princess after falling asleep, leaving only the delicate and lively charm of a sixteen-year-old girl.

Meanwhile, the ice-cold figure, whose body moved with dramatic ups and downs, lay on its side on the outermost side. Sister Bu snatched the blanket, revealing her snow-white back and waist. Below that was a large, white figure, like a full moon, with plum blossoms nestled among the snow...

Because there were elders on both sides, Ling'er was lying in the middle, and she looked a bit like her best friend's aunt with her eldest daughter...

Xie Jinhuan, who had been lying on the outermost side, leaned against Tuotuo's back again and patted him on the back.

clap~
Half-asleep, Nangong Ye was regretting her inability to resist meddling in the situation when she realized she was being harassed. Her cold, beautiful face turned slightly cold as she quietly turned to look, only to see that the brat was holding...

what? !

Nangong Ye was startled and tried to snatch it back, but Xie Jinhuan dodged him, so he could only explain:

"I found this, I don't know what it's for..."

"is it?"

Xie Jinhuan didn't believe it at all. She leaned close to Tuotuo's ear, whose face had turned pale, and gestured to the inside. Her eyes seemed to say, "Even Fairy Nangong doesn't want Sister Bu to see this, does she?"

? !
Nangong Ye was genuinely afraid that the demoness would see this cryptic message and laugh at it, but this brat dared to threaten her—it was utterly against the natural order! His eyes turned cold, and he made a gesture that said, 'You dare try something reckless!'
Xie Jinhuan didn't do anything reckless; he simply raised an eyebrow and asked for a reward.

Nangong Ye wanted to remind Xie Jinhuan to take care of his business first, but he knew that saying that wouldn't get rid of the brat. So he could only obediently step forward and give him a good morning kiss, then coax and pester him to take the things back, indicating that he didn't have time today and would talk to him next time when no one was around, thus pushing Xie Jinhuan out.

Xie Jinhuan was satisfied with the promise, turned her head to let Tuotuo kiss her on both sides, and then gave them both good morning kisses on the forehead before helping to cover them with the blanket and leaving the room...

……

Since the ghost got into the car, although it was always by his side, Xie Jinhuan hadn't spoken to it for several days and still felt uneasy. So after leaving the house, he went to the courtyard where Nai Gua was staying. On the way, he found Mei Qiu squatting on the top of the courtyard wall, shaking his head and waving at him.

Upon seeing this, he approached and saw a little girl with braided hair dressed as a female knight, standing with her hands on her hips, angrily searching around. Just by looking at her back, he could feel the murderous aura of 'unforgivable enmity' and 'gritting her teeth'.

Xie Jinhuan's gaze sharpened upon seeing this, thinking something serious had happened, and he quickly stepped forward:
"Miss Jiang? You... eh?"

Before he could finish speaking, he noticed that the pretty and charming Xiao Biao girl had turned to look at him, her cheeks puffed out, looking very angry and a little aggrieved.

Then, with murderous intent, he ran up to her, grabbed her collar, stood on tiptoe, and leaned forward!
Bobo~
They took two bites right at my cheek!
ha? !

Xie Jinhuan thought Xiao Biao was going to beat him up, but this sudden move startled him. He stared blankly at the little girl with braids so close to him, thinking to himself:

What happened?
Why did they force a kiss?

Back in the room, white steamed buns were piled high; outside, Little Biao threw himself into her arms. Even the most joyful ancestor had never been so delighted…

Although she couldn't understand it at all, Xie Jinhuan, out of habit, still subconsciously hooked her arm around his waist...

Jiang Xian was so angry she felt like her chest was about to explode. She just wanted to piss off that invisible hand that was taking advantage of her!
You won't let me hug or cuddle you, huh?
I didn't just hug you, I kissed you! Do I, Jiang Xian, need you to tell me what to do?!
However, when Xie Jinhuan actually kissed her, he didn't dodge and even tried to hug her. Jiang Xian's mind immediately cleared up a bit, her eyes shifting from anger to helplessness, and she backed away slightly.

"Uh...I..."

Xie Jinhuan was a little puzzled by this, and asked in a gentle tone:

"Xian'er, what's wrong? Did someone bully you? Was it that old man Lü Yan? I'll go beat him up for you..."

"..."

Jiang Xian didn't want to talk about the invisible force that angered her, but since she was already prepared, she braced herself and said:
"It's nothing, I just had a nightmare and woke up scared, so I wanted to hug you..."

Then, mustering her courage, she hugged Xie Jinhuan's waist, buried her face in her chest, and pretended to be scared, emphasizing a rebellious attitude!
? ?
Xie Jinhuan was flattered, but something felt off!

But since the girl was being so direct, he couldn't just push her away, so he gently patted her back.
"It's nothing, it's just a nightmare. You're Master Xiao Biao, how could you be scared like that..."

Then he looked at the large lump of coal beside him, which was filled with shock:
"Weren't you with Miss Jiang? Did you make a noise at night and scare her?"

"Guji?!"

Coal Ball was bewildered; her eyes seemed to say—she was acting crazy by herself at night, and it was a miracle she didn't scare the birds…

Perhaps provoked by this womanizer, Coal Ball took flight and unleashed a flurry of blows on Xie Jinhuan.

Crackling...
