Moonlit Calamity: The Dragon Girl's Life of Idleness is Broken

When she got back, she found that dragon scales had begun to appear on her body, and she realized that this might be a bit tricky.

No, I can't stay here any longer tonight. I might lose control and reveal my true form. I need to find a secluded place to stay.

She hesitated for a moment, then grabbed a black cloak and hurried downstairs.

She first went to the pharmacy to get a few pre-packaged doses of medicine, then called Ziguang in.

He told her to take it to Qingying and the others, and to tell them to brew it for Xiao Han to drink at 5 PM. He added that if Xiao Han felt unwell at night, they could brew another packet. Zi Guang nodded in agreement.

She also told Ziguang that she was going out for a while and wouldn't be back tonight, so there was no need to look for her. Then she left in a hurry.

Zi Guang was a little puzzled when she heard that she wouldn't be back that night. She noticed that Zi Guang looked unwell and wanted to ask her if she was feeling unwell, but she didn't have time to ask. She also saw Zi Guang trip and almost fall when she left the hospital.

Holding several packets of medicine, her face full of worry, she murmured, "Is everything really alright?"

Long Chuqing, wrapped in a cloak, hurriedly arrived at the stables and saw Uncle Chen, the coachman who had taken them out of the manor last time. She then asked him to lead out a horse.

The coachman knew she was a distinguished guest in the mansion, so he didn't dare to neglect her and went to help her bring out a horse.

Long Chuqing mounted her horse and rode off. Uncle Chen scratched his head and asked, "Miss Long, where are you going in such a hurry?"

She mounted her horse and headed straight for the city gate. The sky was overcast, perhaps indicating that it was going to rain again, and the wind picked up. It was also much colder, and there were fewer pedestrians on the roads in the residential area.

It was nearly evening when we arrived at the city gate, and there was a possibility of rain, so a long queue of people were forming to leave the city.

Long Chuqing dismounted and led the horse, pulling up the hood of his cloak and adjusting the collar, before joining the ranks at the back of the procession.

She only realized she needed to be checked when she got closer, but she didn't have one. What should she do?

She was in a dilemma. She could only stay in the city, but the risk of being discovered was too great. She glanced at the city wall and thought, "No, I can climb over the wall, but my horse can't get out. If all else fails, I'll have to break out."

Just as she was struggling with her decision, the curtain of the carriage next to her was lifted, revealing Prince Jin, Xiao Yue, sitting inside. He had intended to check the situation, but upon lifting the curtain, he saw Long Chuqing below the carriage.

His heart skipped a beat. "It's her!"

After they met at the restaurant, he had sent people to search for her for a long time without any news. He thought he would never see her again, but now he saw her here.

Just as Long Chuqing was about to give up on breaking through the checkpoint and turn back to the city, Xiao Yue jumped off the carriage and called out to her: "Miss..."

"girl……"

Long Chuqing looked in the direction of the voice and saw someone walking towards him. He wondered if someone was calling her.

Long Chuqing didn't recognize him and wasn't feeling well, so she coldly replied, "Are you calling me?"

Xiao Yue walked up to her and spoke gently and politely: "We met before at Juhonglou. You were almost pushed down by a drunkard, do you remember?"

Xiao Yue felt a little uneasy, wondering if she still remembered him.

Long Chuqing recalled for a moment and nodded: "I remember, you paid for the meal that day, right? I haven't thanked you yet. Thank you."

Xiao Yue was delighted to hear that she still remembered him. "No need to be so polite, it's just a meal." He quickly explained after a moment's thought, "That's not what I meant. By the way, are you leaving the city?"

Long Chuqing replied weakly, "Yes, but I forgot to bring my luggage, so I can't get out. I was just about to go back."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yue pondered for a moment and cautiously said, "If you don't mind, you can ride in the same carriage as me, and I'll see you off. However, it won't be convenient for you to return."

Long Chu was delighted upon hearing this and smiled, "You really can take me out? To be honest, I do have some urgent business to attend to outside the city. I'll have a way to get back."

Well, the solution is to simply climb over the city wall on a dark and windy night when you come back.

Seeing that she was willing to go out with him, Xiao Yue smiled and said, "Sure, you can come out with me in the carriage. They won't dare to check."

Long Chuqing felt a little relieved upon hearing this: "Thank you, then here's my horse." She glanced at the horse behind her.

"That's easy," Xiao Yue called out as he turned around. "Blue Rain."

Xiao Yue called over a guard to help lead the horse, and she followed him into the carriage. The carriage was very spacious, and the two sat facing each other.

Xiao Yue was happy to see Long Chuqing again. Ever since he saw her in front of the restaurant, he had never forgotten her. Now that he saw her again, he wanted to look at her but didn't dare to stare at her for too long. However, she was sitting right across from him, so he still looked at her carefully.

Long Chuqing felt unwell and didn't want to talk, so she just quietly rested by the carriage.

Seeing that she seemed listless, Xiao Yue quickly asked with concern, "Miss, you don't look well. Are you feeling unwell?"

Long Chuqing forced a smile: "I'm fine, maybe it's because I didn't sleep well!"

Xiao Yue wanted to talk to her, but he didn't know what to say. He was annoyed that he wasn't usually so tongue-tied, so why did he mess up this time?

"It's getting dark soon, and it looks like it might rain. I wonder where you're going."

Long Chuqing looked at him without saying anything.

Xiao Yue noticed her staring at him and thought he had been abrupt, so he quickly added, "I'm not trying to find out where you're going. I just think it'll get dark soon and it might rain. There are many mountain roads outside the city, and it's not safe for a young lady like you to go out alone. If you don't have anything urgent to do, it would be better to go another day."

Long Chuqing was just thinking about what excuse to give: "Thank you for your concern. I'm just going to take care of some things nearby. I'll be there before dark, it's alright."

Before long, they left the city gate and stopped in an open area outside the city. Long Chuqing led her horse and said goodbye to him: "Thank you for your help today."

Xiao Yue instructed, "Please be careful on your journey, young lady."

Long Chuqing nodded his thanks, mounted his horse, and hurriedly left.

Xiao Yue watched her departing figure until she was out of sight, then turned and got into the carriage.

When he sat down in the carriage, he realized that he had forgotten to ask her name. He was annoyed. Why did his mind go blank and he couldn't speak when he saw her? He wondered if he would ever see her again.

Long Chuqing rode her horse swiftly along the official road. The sky gradually darkened and rain began to fall, the wind whipping against her face, icy and biting.

There were no other pedestrians in sight on the road, and the road was lined with dense trees on both sides. Suddenly, a fork in the road appeared ahead.

Fei Feng: "Qingqing, go to the left. I sense a lake in the mountains over there."

Long Chuqing gently pulled on the reins, turning the horse towards the left fork in the road. After running for a while, another fork appeared. "Chuqing, left."

Following Fei Feng's guidance, she rode swiftly all the way.

Because of the rain, it got dark, and visibility was poor, so the horses slowed down.

Long Chuqing was soaked to the bone, and dragon scales appeared on her neck. She felt exhausted, but she still struggled to hold on.

The rain grew heavier and heavier, and it got dark. She rode her horse into a mountain stream. When she was still some distance from the lake, the horse stopped and came to rest on an open lawn.
