After crossing over, the demon king rolled in my arms and acted like a spoiled child

"Why, you don't want to?" Ming Yuan raised his eyebrows meaningfully.

"I had a younger brother named Ayuan." Bai Jiyue pursed her lips and said, "Because it sounds very similar to your name, I think calling him that is a bit..."

Mingyuan curled his lips, spat out the grass in his mouth, and slowly jumped down from the tree.

Bai Jiyue looked up at the young man with fluttering robes, descending from the sky like a god, and felt that his charm was unprecedented.

After she traveled to this ancient world, she had seen many young people. Some were as elegant and refined as her elder brother, some were as handsome and simple as Ma Qiao, and some were as cheerful and intelligent as Zhu Yuan, but she had never met anyone like the young man in front of her.

Although he doesn't make people feel indifferent and distant, he has a kind of coldness that comes from the bones, which makes people feel that it is difficult to get close to him.

Although he looks at you seriously, you always feel that he is lazy and careless in his bones, making people feel that he doesn't seem to care about anything.

He is handsome and elegant, yet he also has a hint of wickedness and elegance, making him hard to figure out.

However, such a boy seems to be magnetic, making you involuntarily cast your eyes on him, wanting to explore him, wanting to get close to him!

Bai Jiyue was a little dazed for a moment and stood there in a daze.

Ming Yuan noticed her subtle expression and felt a little sweet in his heart.

You silly girl, are you stunned by a man as handsome as me?

He walked slowly to Bai Jiyue and was a head taller than her.

He bent down and said softly, "I don't want to be your brother anymore."

Bai Jiyue only felt a breath blowing on his head, which was warm and numb, and his cheeks turned red.

She took two steps back and looked up at him, smiling unnaturally: "Mr. Ming is really a joker. You must be older than me, so how can you be my brother?"

Ming Yuan curled his lips and smiled: "Of course I am older than you."

Much bigger!

"Otherwise, you can call me brother."

Well... add one more word - good brother!

Bai Jiyue looked at his charming smile, her heart was moved for a moment, and then she came to her senses.

This man came to talk to her out of nowhere and asked her to call him brother. What did he mean? Was he trying to tease her?

Her smile faded, and she said in a light voice: "Mr. Ming, we are not close enough for me to call you brother, right?"

Why aren't you familiar?

I slept in your arms for several months!

Ming Yuan said this in his heart, but he couldn't say it out loud.

He is so angry!

"Ahem, um..." He wanted to find a reason for her to call him "brother", but he really couldn't find one for the time being.

Bai Jiyue's expression became colder and colder: "Mr. Ming, I have something to do with the governor's wife, so I'll stay with you for a while."

After saying that, she turned and left, no longer wanting to ask him the questions she had wanted to ask him before.

Ming Yuan opened his mouth to call her, but no sound came out.

He smiled slowly, folded his arms and watched her back as she walked away.

This is his girl. She would stay away from strange men cautiously.

This way, even if he is not by her side in the future, she won’t have to worry too much!

As for my closeness to her, we will have more time to spend together in the future, so there is no need to rush.

One day, he would make her unable to leave him!

Bai Jiyue walked a long way in one breath before slowing down and looking back.

The boy was no longer under the tree. He must have left.

Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.

I didn't expect that the boy looked serious and didn't want strangers to come near him, but he was actually very good at flirting with girls!

Fortunately, I have good self-control, otherwise I would have been seduced by him!

She patted her chest as if to cheer herself up, calmed herself down, and then continued walking forward.

When she arrived at the courtyard where the prefect's wife lived, she explained her purpose.

The wife of the prefect was naturally unwilling to accept it, but Bai Jiyue was firm in her attitude. After several polite refusal, she finally put down the money.

For the next day, Bai Jiyue did not leave the house and did not see Ming Yuan again.

The night before going to Beijing, Yan Niang called Bai Jiyue into the room alone and stuffed a porcelain bottle into her hand.

"What is this, mother?" Bai Jiyue asked in surprise.

“This is the medicine that will make you beautiful.”

"what?"

Yan Niang stroked Bai Jiyue's hand and said, "Didn't you always ask me why you had so many freckles? You also said that you were much uglier than when you were in the capital."

Bai Jiyue nodded: "You said at the time that you were having problems with the local climate and water."

This part is in the original owner's memory.

Yan Niang smiled and said, "That was just a lie. In fact, I used a chronic poison on you. This poison is harmless to the body, but it will cause freckles to grow all over your face."

"Why are you doing this!" Bai Jiyue asked in surprise.

"Because you are so beautiful, I am afraid that you will be targeted by bad guys in places like Dark Stone Wasteland and suffer. Sometimes, if you are too beautiful, it is better to be ugly. You will know it by looking at me."

"Then why didn't you use this poison yourself?" Bai Jiyue asked curiously.

"This poison is only effective for virgins."

Bai Jiyue nodded and continued to be curious: "Then why did mother take out the antidote now?"

"Because you are going to Beijing. There are many opportunities in Beijing. It is easier to get things done if a girl is pretty than ugly. Maybe you will be noticed by a young master from a noble family when you go to Beijing, and you can easily leave Dark Stone Wasteland."

Bai Jiyue waved her hand: "My daughter has never thought of relying on men. Even if I have to leave the Dark Stone Wasteland, I will rely on my own abilities to take my family away!"

As she spoke, she stuffed the porcelain bottle back into her mother's arms.

Yan Niang pushed it out again: "Take it, you can use it when you want to, and don't use it when you don't want to."

Bai Jiyue thought about it and decided to accept it.

The next day, she and Bai Ji got up early and gathered at the gate of the prefectural mansion with their luggage.

Some people had gathered at the door. Zhu Yuan and Ma Qiao had already arrived, but Xie Ping had not yet come. In addition, Cen Changqing's eldest son Cen Yanhuai was also there, and next to him stood a young man in black, who was Ming Yuan.

Bai Jiyue raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Cen Yanhuai saw what Bai Jiyue was thinking and explained with a smile: "Brother Ming has a high level of cultivation. He asked Dad to let him go to the capital with him, and Dad agreed."

Bai Jiyue didn't say anything.

She had no say in who the governor would take with him and who not, so she decided to go along if they wanted to. It wasn't just her and Ming Yuan anyway.

After a while, Xie Ping came.

He saw Bai Jiyue from a distance and nodded to her.

Bai Jiyue also nodded.

After what happened with Zhang Suya, the two of them didn't feel awkward when they met again, which was not easy.

Soon the governor came out, and all the gifts to be sent to the capital were loaded onto carts, about ten in number.

"The journey to the capital is long and the road is not safe, so everyone should be extra careful to avoid robbers!" said the prefect, looking at everyone.

Everyone responded, assigned their own tasks, and rode on horseback to guard both sides of the ceremonial carriage, heading towards the capital...
