Quick Wear Dream Qiqi

Chapter 362 Fairy Fox Legend 7

Meng Li's gaze was like a fine comb, carefully examining Meng Qiqi from head to toe.

She had a simple cloth tied in her hair, and her black and red clothes were washed pale, but her eyes and eyebrows revealed a gracefulness that did not belong to such coarse linen clothes.

This familiar feeling was like a thorn, causing her brows to slightly frown - she had clearly never seen this person before, so why did she feel that she had seen such a stubborn look somewhere?

"This sister looks very kind." Meng Li raised a gentle smile and raised his hand to gently gather the loose hair beside his ear. The jade hairpin in his hair reflected a cool halo in the sunlight. "Have you seen me somewhere before?"

Meng Qiqi's heart skipped a beat, and her fingertips unconsciously rubbed the fox wristband hidden in her sleeve.

She lowered her eyes and bowed, her voice soft and sweet: "Miss, you are too kind. I am just an ordinary citizen in this small town. I am afraid I have recognized the wrong person."

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Luo Jingrui move half a step towards him. The aura of the witch clan lingering around the young man became stronger and stronger, almost condensing into a physical barrier.

The human prince Chen Yu frowned and looked at Luo Jingrui's hand on Meng Qiqi's shoulder, and the sword at his waist made a humming sound.

"Your Excellency and this girl don't seem to have an ordinary brother-sister relationship." His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, falling on the pale but stubborn face of the young man.

Luo Jingrui raised the corners of his lips and gave a provocative smile.

He deliberately rested his chin on the top of Meng Qiqi's head and said frivolously, "Your Highness, are you mistaken?"

The palm of her hand tightened quietly, and she could feel Meng Qiqi's rapid heartbeat through the fabric. "Sis has loved me since I was a child. I would be jealous if others looked at me for a second longer."

The air solidified instantly.

The sword at Chen Yu's waist was unsheathed three inches, and the cold light made Meng Li's face turn pale.

Meng Qiqi secretly thought that this was not good. If a conflict arose here, it would probably completely disrupt the plot.

She suddenly chuckled and patted the back of Luo Jingrui's hand: "Arui is making trouble again. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a noble, don't be rude."

Turning to Meng Li and bowing, she took out a handkerchief embroidered with butterflies from her sleeve and said, "I found this the other day when I was picking herbs. It looks very suitable for you, young lady. If you don't mind..."

The fluorescent powder on the butterfly's wings appears faintly in the sunlight, which is the unique embroidery method of the fox tribe.

Meng Li took the handkerchief and felt the delicate stitches with her fingertips, which made her even more confused.

This embroidery technique is completely different from the one taught in the palace, but it inexplicably carries a familiar aura.

She was about to ask when Luo Jingrui suddenly pulled Meng Qiqi back half a step: "How can you give away your sister's things so casually?"

"Ari!" Meng Qiqi glared at him in feigned anger, then turned to Meng Li and smiled apologetically, "My brother has been spoiled by me, please don't be offended, young lady. In fact, this handkerchief is destined to be with you, and it would be a pity to leave it in my hands."

She cleverly changed the subject, "I heard that the young lady is here to explore the Qingluan Secret Realm?"

Meng Li was stunned and nodded subconsciously.

She did come here for the secret realm, but she didn't know how this seemingly ordinary woman in front of her knew about it.

Before she could speak, Luo Jingrui interrupted coldly, "The Qingluan Secret Realm is extremely dangerous. Since you know this, you should stay away from these people."

Meng Qiqi was afraid that he would say something wrong again, so she quickly said, "Arimo is talking nonsense.

The girl has a celestial spirit and will surely turn danger into safety. She took out a small porcelain bottle from her bosom and said, "This is a homemade pill that can cure all kinds of poisons. I hope the girl will accept it."

The surface of the porcelain bottle was engraved with tiny runes in women's script, which were the secret codes learned from ancient books when he was in the evil world.

Chen Yu stared at the porcelain bottle with sharp eyes: "Miss, this medicine..."

"It's just some folk remedies from the mountains." Meng Qiqi interrupted him with a smile before he could finish. "If Your Highness doesn't believe me, I can try it on you right here."

As he was about to pull out the cork, Luo Jingrui snatched it away.

"Sister, how could you risk yourself!" The young man's eyes turned red with anger, and his hand holding the porcelain vase trembled slightly. "If they want to take it, they can take it. Why humiliate yourself?"

Meng Li looked at this scene, and a soft spot in her heart was touched.

The interaction between the two people in front of her was very similar to the vague scene deep in her memory - on a rainy night, there was also a girl protecting her like this.

She raised her hand to stop Chen Yu and said softly, "Thank you for your kindness, young lady. We will accept it."

The atmosphere finally eased, and Meng Qiqi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Luo Jingrui, however, remained tense, like a furry little beast.

She squeezed the boy's palm imperceptibly, feeling him relax instantly. Then she turned and said with a smile, "It's getting late. If you don't mind, could you please stay at my humble abode?"

Chen Yu was about to refuse, but Meng Li nodded and agreed: "Sorry to bother you."

She looked at the cloth strips swaying in Meng Qiqi's hair when she turned around, and suddenly remembered the white fox she had seen in the fox clan's forbidden area when she was young. It also looked so lively.

At night, Meng Qiqi prepared supper in the kitchen.

Luo Jingrui leaned against the door frame, his silver hair gleaming coldly in the moonlight: "Why is my sister so nice to her?"

His voice was filled with subtle grievance, "The way she looks at you..."

"Don't let your imagination run wild." Meng Qiqi stirred the porridge in the pot without looking back. "She is a noble person, not the same as us."

Having said that, a thin layer of sweat broke out on her palms - Meng Li looked at her too intently, which always made her worry that the plot would deviate after her identity was exposed.

Luo Jingrui suddenly hugged her from behind, rubbing his chin against the top of her head: "Sister can only be mine."

Warm breath brushed past my ears, "No one can take it away."

Meng Qiqi's whole body was stiff, and the wooden spoon in her hand almost fell into the pot.

She was about to speak when she heard footsteps outside the yard.

Luo Jingrui quickly let go of his hand, and his expression returned to normal, but there was still a dark tide in his eyes.

Meng Li stood at the kitchen door, watching the stove fire make Meng Qiqi's cheeks blush, and in a trance he thought of his mother.

She subconsciously asked, "Miss, are you willing to go to the Qingluan Secret Realm with me?"

The air solidified instantly.

The wooden spoon in Meng Qiqi's hand fell into the pot with a clang, splashing the boiling porridge.

Luo Jingrui almost immediately stood in front of her, demonic energy surging around him: "She won't go!"

"Ari!" Meng Qiqi suppressed her shock and gave Meng Li an apologetic smile. "My brother is ignorant, I hope you won't blame me. But I am just an ordinary woman, and I would be a burden if I went."

Meng Li stared into her eyes, trying to find the answer from those clear pupils.

After a long moment, she sighed softly, "If you change your mind, you can always come find me."

As she turned to leave, the bell on the jade hairpin in her hair rang softly, startling the night owl perched under the eaves.

When Meng Li's figure disappeared into the night, Meng Qiqi's legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground.

Luo Jingrui quickly supported her, his voice filled with suppressed anger: "She clearly wants to snatch you away!"

"Stop it." Meng Qiqi leaned on the boy's shoulder, listening to his pounding heartbeat. "We are not on the same path as them."

She looked at the moon outside the window, thinking about how to take Luo Jingrui away from this place of trouble without affecting the plot.

At this moment, Meng Li was stroking the butterfly handkerchief repeatedly in the moonlight.

The fluorescence on the jade hairpin and the faint light on the handkerchief complemented each other, reminding her of the ancient legend of the fox tribe - it was said that only those with royal fox blood could embroider glowing butterflies.

She called her maid and said, "Go check if there is a fox girl named Meng in this town."

In the darkness, a pair of scarlet eyes were staring at the two people hugging each other in the yard.

Xie Yan clutched the jade pendant at his waist, his knuckles turning white from the force.

Since Meng Qiqi disappeared, he searched every corner of the Demonic Realm, but he didn't expect to see her being so intimate with another man here.

He raised his hand to summon the Shadow Guards, his voice cold enough to freeze ice: "Keep an eye on that Wu Clan kid. If he dares to harm her..."
