Quick Wear Dream Qiqi

Chapter 171: Demons and Monsters 15

Under the influence of mental power, the leaves began to emit a faint blue light. A hint of surprise flashed in Meng Qiqi's eyes, and she knew that she had found it.

This Izumo heavy lotus is indeed a very yin thing, and this leaf will be the key for her to refine the Fire Spirit Pearl.

Meng Qiqi placed the leaf under the moonlight and carefully observed its changes.

She ran her fingers lightly across the leaves, feeling a hint of coolness, and the answer came to her mind.

Sure enough, under the moonlight, the leaves gradually became transparent and eventually disappeared.

The corners of Meng Qiqi's mouth rose slightly, and a shrewd look flashed in her eyes.

Meng Qiqi began to recall her previous interactions with Gong Yuanzheng, trying to find a way that would not arouse his suspicion.

She decided to take advantage of Gong Yuanzheng's trust in her and create a suitable opportunity for him to take the initiative to hand over the seeds of Izumo Juren to her.

After a few days, Meng Qiqi recovered well and followed Gong Yuanzheng all day long.

Gong Yuanzheng took Meng Qiqi with him no matter what he did, even when he was pouring medicine for Yun Chonglian, he did not avoid Meng Qiqi.

Meng Qiqi took the opportunity to express her curiosity about the Izumo heavy lotus seeds.

Gong Yuanzheng skillfully expressed the magical effects of Izumo Juren and emphasized that only Gong Zheng had the seeds of Izumo Juren.

"Wow, that's really amazing! Brother Zheng, can you give me a seed of Izumo Lotus?" Meng Qiqi looked at Gong Yuanzheng expectantly.

Gong Yuanzheng hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed to Meng Qiqi's request.

Gong Yuanzheng scratched his head, thought for a moment, and then said, "This Izumo Lotus seed is very precious, and I only have a few. However, if you really want it, I can give you one."

After hearing this, Meng Qiqi jumped up excitedly: "Great! Thank you, Brother Zheng!"

After all, although Izumo Juumelian is rare, it still needs to be cultivated.

He took out the seeds of Izumo Juren and handed them to her.

Meng Qiqi took the seeds and held them carefully in her palm, as if she was holding an extremely precious treasure.

However, Meng Qiqi was secretly delighted in her heart. She finally got the seed of the Izumo Heavy Lotus and was one step closer to refining the Fire Spirit Pearl.

But she still pretended to be ecstatic on the surface and treated Gong Yuanzheng as usual.

Gong Yuanzheng looked at Meng Qiqi quietly. Her beauty was like a flower blooming in spring, which was very touching.

His eyes involuntarily fell on her face, feeling her every frown and smile, and his heartbeat gradually quickened.

He tried to calm himself, but Meng Qiqi's presence was like an irresistible magic that made him more and more confused.

When she thanked him with a smile, his throat was dry and his voice was slightly hoarse as he responded, "You're welcome. As long as you like it."

Together, they poured the decoction gently into the soil, watching as the roots of the Izumo Lotus slowly absorbed the decoction and its leaves gradually became noticeably brighter.

Gong Yuanzheng's eyes were filled with anticipation and joy for the Izumo Juren. He believed that he would soon be able to see the Izumo Juren in full bloom.

As time went on, the atmosphere between the two became more ambiguous.

Gong Yuanzheng realized that his feelings for Meng Qiqi were changing, but he was not sure if it was just a momentary impulse.

However, whenever he saw Meng Qiqi's smile, the emotion in his heart became stronger.

"Last time I asked you if you were willing to stay at the palace gate for me, did you have an answer?"

After Gong Yuanzheng finished speaking, he looked at Meng Qiqi expectantly, asking her how she felt about him. Meng Qiqi pursed her lips slightly, with a hint of confusion in her eyes, and slowly said, "Master Zheng, your question is too profound. Qiqi is dull and cannot answer it immediately."

When Gong Yuanzheng heard this vague answer, the joy in his heart was immediately replaced by doubt. He thought that his sincerity was not enough.

His heart sank as he tried to find the answer from Meng Qiqi's expression, but he only saw a weak and innocent look.

Meng Qiqi's attitude made him confused. He didn't know how to break her defenses and get into her heart.

Gong Yuanzheng took a deep breath, looked into Meng Qiqi's eyes seriously, and said softly: "Qiqi, I've always wanted to tell you that I like you."

Meng Qiqi opened her red lips slightly, her voice like dew dripping on lotus leaves: "Master Zheng, Qiqi is just an ignorant girl, how dare she seek your kindness."

There was a hint of confusion in her words, as if she was wondering what she had done to deserve Gong Yuanzheng's affection.

However, Meng Qiqi's gentle tone planted a deeper affection in his heart.

Gong Yuanzheng looked at her gentle face, and the loss in his heart surged like a tide, but he didn't know what to do.

Then he asked if I would like to enjoy the moon with him tonight.

A hint of unnaturalness flashed across Meng Qiqi's eyes, and she whispered softly, "Although the moonlight is beautiful tonight, I'm a little tired. I'm afraid I can't enjoy it."

There was a hint of weakness in her voice, yet there seemed to be an imperceptible sense of distance.

When Gong Yuanzheng heard this, he felt an inexplicable sense of loss in his heart. He knew that this was Meng Qiqi's tactful rejection.

He looked at her silently, the light in his eyes gradually dimmed, and he turned and left, leaving Meng Qiqi alone in the moonlight, with no ripples in her heart.

Meng Qiqi looked at Gong Yuanzheng's departing back, her eyes sparkling, but she never revealed a single bit of her true feelings.

She knows how to charm others with her delicate demeanor, but her heart is as cold as ice and cannot be warmed.

Even in the face of Gong Yuanzheng's daily courtesy, she just smiled slightly, and she ignored all his kindness to her.

Whenever Gong Yuanzheng tried to doubt her, she always cleverly avoided him, using her weak appearance to hide her true thoughts.

When necessary, just give him a little sweet hope so that he won't continue to doubt that she is a person without a front.

Although, every time she saw Gong Yuanzheng, she always had a calm smile on her face.

Her concern for him was always just right, neither cold nor excessive, and it was carefully calculated by her.

She would listen to his troubles and give thoughtful advice, but the door of her heart remained closed and she never really let him in.

In her world, Gong Yuanzheng was just a chess piece that could be used, and she had never truly invested her emotions in him.

But Gong Yuanzheng wanted to get an accurate answer from her.

Deep down in her heart, she didn't want to be influenced by anyone, including Gong Yuanzheng.

After Meng Qiqi slowly returned to the room, she asked the two maids to leave.

Sitting alone in front of the window on this quiet night, the turmoil in my heart contrasts sharply with the tranquility of the outside world.

Her gaze passed over the stars outside the window and fell on the palace where Gong Yuanzheng lived in the distance, but her heart was filled with indifference.

Gong Yuanzheng's deep affection for her is just a protective card for her in the palace, and she will never let this card affect her plans.

A faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, which was an exploitation of Gong Yuanzheng and a ruthless mockery of herself.

I'm just a chess piece on the chessboard, and I don't even want to get her true heart.

A sly glint flashed in Meng Qiqi's eyes. She gently stroked the strings of the piano under the moonlight, and the melody was mixed with a hint of joy.
