A sweet story about traveling into the world of beasts, killing the heroine and becoming the next in

Bian Zhao said with a fake smile: "Okay."

In just a cup of tea, the table was filled with delicious food.

Lan Ning's eyes lit up when she saw the delicious food. She pointed at the dish of braised fish and grabbed Xuan Heng's sleeve with one hand, "I want that."

She had always loved eating fish, and now that she was a cat-clan orc, her love for fish had increased even more. In order to please her, the chef at the Regent's Palace cooked fish for her in various ways.

The puppet maid placed the plate of braised fish in front of Lan Ning, and then the noble Regent beside her rolled up his sleeves skillfully and used his beautiful hands to remove the fish bones for her.

Bian Zhao: “???” It would be a lie to say I wasn’t shocked. Someone as noble and unruly as Xuan Heng would actually serve others?

Bian Zhao was destined to have a boring meal. He watched Xuan Heng gently taking care of Lan Ning while she was eating, picking out fish bones and adding more dishes and rice, as if Lan Ning was the master at the table.

What surprised him even more was Lan Ning's appetite. It was all thanks to her that the food on the table was not wasted.

Bian Zhao should have been happy that his baby was well taken care of, but he felt distressed when he saw that Lan Ning was obedient and not picky.

It has been a month since Lan Ning escaped from the palace. He has been pampered every day in the Regent's Palace, but his body is still so thin that he can be blown down by the wind. How many disasters has he suffered before this?

He would never let that father and daughter go. Why should they live a life of luxury in the palace while stepping on the corpses of their children?

"Seeing that he treats you well, father is relieved." Before leaving the Regent's Palace, Bian Zhao secretly pulled Lan Ning aside to talk in private, "But you must also remember that there are differences between men and women. Don't be alone with him."

Lan Ning smiled and nodded, "Okay."

Her obedience undoubtedly made Bian Zhao feel even more distressed. What a good child, why did she have to suffer such unnecessary misfortunes?

Not long after Bian Zhao left, Lan Ning's system began to buzz with notification sounds indicating an increase in favorability.

[Important NPC impression +10, total impression: 40. ]

Lan Ning was taking a nap on the beauty couch, and seeing this, he started chatting with Perfect Little Six, "Sure enough, he has to be my biological father."

That day in Fengluan Palace, the two groups had actually already lined up. Those noble lords whose sons were killed by Furou chose to stand on her side because of her words. Although they were busy with state affairs these days, they also asked Bian Zhao to bring some things over, but their favorability did not increase much.

Fortunately, Bian Zhao, his biological father, is always thinking about him, so even if Lan Ning doesn't show up, he can still increase his favorability regularly.

So Lan Ning planned to give something to his old father to express his gratitude.

It's a pity that due to her special status, she can't leave the Regent's Palace for the time being. She can only think of a solution based on the things on hand. By chance, she saw the sachet on the puppet palace maid, and Lan Ning had an idea and planned to make a handicraft.

-

Various rare and beautiful flowers were planted in the garden of the Regent's Palace. Under the scorching sun, Lan Ning sat in the corridor holding a copy of Baicao Collection and reading it carefully. She carefully selected the flowers in the garden according to the illustrations in the book and ordered the puppet maids to spread out the flowers to dry.

She asked the housekeeper for some cloth, and after working for a while she finally made a decent-looking fish sachet modeled after the colorful koi in the small pond. She put it on the table and was about to pick up another piece of cloth to continue cutting when she smelt a faint scent of bamboo leaves.

This is the spice that Xuan Heng usually uses, it has a refreshing and cool fragrance.

Xuan Heng originally planned to go to the study, but when he passed by the garden, he saw Lan Ning sitting in the corridor busy, so he came over to take a look.

There were many things placed on the round table, and the most eye-catching one was the small fish scent bag. Xuan Heng smelled the familiar strong bamboo scent, which was similar to the one he used. He couldn't help but lower his eyes to look at Lan Ning who was busy and serious, and asked curiously: "Is it for me?"

Lan Ning's cat ears twitched, and she raised the half-finished product she was working on, "This is for you."

Xuan Heng sat down and watched her busying herself. After a while, the pair of cat ears trembled, which looked very beautiful.

Soon, Lan Ning handed the finished sachet to Xuan Heng. She must be very talented in this area, and it looked much better than the first one.

"How is it? Do you like it?" Lan Ning blinked and waited for Xuan Heng's evaluation. She didn't know any complicated craftsmanship. She just pieced together cloths of different colors, replaced the fish eyes with pearls, and had long tassels hanging down from the belly of the fish. It looked quite realistic.

Xuan Heng took it and looked at it carefully. There were many such things sold by street vendors. They were more exquisite and beautiful than what Lan Ning made, but none of them were as pleasing to the eye as this one. He stared straight into her clear eyes and stuffed the sachet into her hand. "It looks good. Help me put it on?"

Lan Ning smiled and said, "Okay!"

Xuan Heng stood up. He was much taller than Lan Ning. He could completely block her by standing in front of her. His golden eyes looked tenderly at the cat-eared girl in his arms. Her figure was slender and seemed like she could be crushed by a single palm.

He was a little confused. Lan Ning had been taken care of with the best things during this period. The ugly scars had faded day by day, but her small body refused to grow flesh. And the fatal wound on her neck was so deep that it was difficult to heal due to the bone, which was enough to show the cruelty of the person who had done it.

If it wasn't him who appeared near the palace that day, would Lan Ning get into another man's carriage?

When Xuan Heng thought about her standing so obediently in front of other men, he felt inexplicably upset.

"It's tied." Lan Ning's charming voice brought Xuan Heng back to his trance. She raised her eyes as if offering a treasure, "Take a look, what do you think?"

Xuan Heng looked down at the little fish hanging around her waist, as if it was her marked property.

"I'll give you a gift as well." Xuan Heng took out a scale from his sleeve. It was as beautiful as obsidian and covered with a layer of colorful light. The scale was strung with a red rope, and Xuan Heng put it around Lan Ning's neck.

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the rare item, the Snake King's Reverse Scale. ]

Lan Ning has become accustomed to the sudden pop-up messages from the system, but she did not expect that this beautiful scale that looked like a work of art was actually a rare prop. The snake's reverse scale...what is its use?

A pop-up explanation appeared on the perfect little six, "The Snake King's token, there is only one in the world, it will only be given to the person who cherishes it the most. The owner can command all the snakes in Qingcheng."

Commanding all the snake tribes in Qingcheng? This is incredible.

Lan Ning didn't expect to get such a big treasure in exchange for an ordinary sachet. She couldn't hide her joy. She gently stroked the scale with her fingers, "This is very beautiful. I like it very much."

Xuan Heng was happy to see her treasured scales, "As long as you like it."

[Xuan Heng's favorability +10, total favorability: 50. ]

He stretched out his hand and rubbed the cat's ears. Lan Ning's inner elixir was severely damaged. Currently, he could only maintain a half-beast, half-human appearance. It would take some time to recover. Since the inner elixir was incomplete, he did not dare to teach Lan Ning magic. However, the person who had caused Lan Ning to such a state...

"There is one more thing." Xuan Heng pulled Lan Ning to sit down. He poured Lan Ning a cup of tea and said with regret, "Furou is pregnant. In order to take care of her, the empress lifted her house arrest."

Lan Ning: “…”

She is indeed the heroine! She was able to get pregnant in this situation and escape danger. The people of Wanjing attach great importance to offspring. Now that the news of Furou's pregnancy has spread, most of the voices criticizing her have stopped!

Xuan Heng continued, "Furou is the eldest princess of Wanjing. Her pregnancy is a happy event for the whole Wanjing. The empress has ordered that a 'hair-stroking banquet' be held on the fifteenth day of next month with Ruilu Terrace. At that time, envoys from neighboring countries will come to Wanjing City to congratulate her."
