Divine Enchantress: Night Emperor’s Beloved Consort - Chapter 120

Two figures were now sitting across other just like before. They were both currently eating an array of food on the table.

“Hey Shao Qing, how do you feel?” Jiang Ying Yue asked. She wanted to know the result of her sacrifice ah! This was the first time she used her skill as a healer to treat someone and he was a ‘big client’ at that!

Mu Shao Qing took her question as her caring about him. Warm on the gaze, he answered her. “I’m feeling good. Thank you for your help the other day.”

He didn’t expect that the person he liked turned out to be the one who saved him but he felt quite good too. This woman was truly magnificent!

Jiang Ying Yue nodded her head. “It’s good then. For now, your condition won’t act up again, but always remember to not use too much of your Spiritual Qi and deplete it, lest it goes rampant again.”

“Yes, Madam.” Mu Shao Qing answered like a gentleman.

“Pft. Who’s your madam? I am still young alright? Hey Shao Qing, should I call you grandpa? If not maybe ancestor?” Jiang Ying Yue tried hard to stifle her laugh.

Jiang Ying Yue took a good look at this guy’s face. Smooth and flawless skin, sharp nose, thick eyelashes, thin cherry red lips, and eh? Seemed like he had restored his fake appearance. The golden diamond shape on his forehead was now back to blue three petals lotus.

‘Hmm he doesn’t look old at all ah! How unfair!’ Jiang Ying Yue lamented in her heart.

At first, Mu Shao Qing was quite puzzled at her question, hence the confused look. But after thinking and knowing what she meant, his face darkened instantly!

How dare this woman called him old! What, grandpa? It should be handsome, or husband instead! What grandpa?

“Are you calling me old, YING YUE?” He called her name through gritted teeth.

Jiang Ying Yue stopped smiling instantly. ‘Oh oh seems like this guy is sensitive about his age. I have poked his sore spot!’

She smiled sheepishly. “Hehe I am not calling you old. No no. How can you be old? You are already more than 10 000 years old, surely more than that but look at your skin, wah so good. Just like a young man ah!”

It was fine if she didn’t say that but now Mu Shao Qing’s face was dyed in a darker shade of black that even ink could be squeeze out from it.

According to her words, she didn’t even hide her thoughts at all. It was obvious that Jiang Ying Yue was messing with him by calling him older in a roundabout way!

Jiang Ying Yue was having fun teasing Mu Shao Qing. She didn’t know why, she felt at ease whenever she was with him and more carefree than usual, hence the teasing.

Suddenly, the man in front of her stopped eating, put down his chopsticks and prop down both of his elbows on the table while crossing his fingers together.

Then, with an evil smirk, he landed his chin onto the intertwined fingers very elegantly.

Jiang Ying Yue smelled danger.

This man! As if his good looks wasn’t enough, he had to be sexier by acting this way, but this kinda looked dangerous.

Sure enough, her prediction was right.

Mu Shao Qing, still maintaining that evil smirk on his face, opened his sexy lips slowly, uttering: “Whether I am old or not, do you want to check my stamina first in bed? I’ll make sure you are very satisfied and admit that I am not old at all! How about that? Shall we try it, my lady?”

Ha? What?

Jiang Ying Yue almost chocked on her food. This man! Truly shameless!

“No no, it’s okay.” She waved her hand in front of her face. “Hey evildoer, you are young indeed. No need to check anymore.”

How could this man say that? Hmph! Truly a pervert!

Mu Shao Qing raised his eyebrow. “Are you sure you don’t want to? And why is your face red? What are you thinking about? Oh, someone is being naughty.”

Jiang Ying Yue rolled her eyes. “Of course I don’t want to. You are being naughty! Your whole family is being naughty! Talking about ehem that in broad daylight! Hmph shameless evildoer.”

Mu Shao Qing made a confused face. “But I was talking about you as a healer checking my body and see whether my stamina is like a young man or not and you’ll be satisfied knowing that my body is young despite my age. Why is your direction of thinking so wrong?”

Alright, Jiang Ying Yue had to give it to this guy. He was so petty! She just teased him a bit and now he was already taking his revenge. As if she didn’t know he was talking about ‘that thing’!

Truly impressive ability to lie with a straight face!

“Fine fine. I was wrong. Evildoer, you are very young with a good body alright?” Jiang Ying Yue gave up.

The man nodded and resumed eating. “That’s more like it. Speaking of which, why not you call me brother Shao, or brother Qing, other than evildoer hmm?”

That guy Liu Weimin got the nickname Minmin, and he got evildoer? ‘No won’t do!’

“Why the sudden request? Brother Shao? Brother Qing? No no.” Jiang Ying Yue disagreed immediately.

Although calling the other person big brother or brother showed closeness, somehow she felt quite vexed on calling him that. Like, she could only regard him as a big brother and not more than that.

But why did she feel this way?

Mu Shao Qing of course didn’t know what she was thinking about. In his head, he thought that Jiang Ying Yue was unwilling because he didn’t deserve it.

To people here, calling someone brother or big brother showed closeness and their relationship could be special as more than brother or sister too.

“Why are you unwilling?” He asked, tone slightly cold.

“Because I can only regard you as my big brother for the rest of my life once I call you big brother.” She blurted out. After realizing her mistake, she hurriedly corrected it. “I- I mean, a nickname evildoer is better as friends other than big brother alright?”

Jiang Ying Yue turned red in the face.

Mu Shao Qing was a smart man. He understood her meaning at once. ‘So, she doesn’t want our relationship to go as just brother and sister? Great, this news is great!’

Mu Shao Qing was happy in heart, but his face was still slightly cold.

“Alright then, evildoer it is.” He made a reluctant expression. At least, he had a unique nickname to himself. That nickname somehow sounded romantic and sweet to his ears, didn’t sound like it’s real meaning at all!

It sounded intimate. Ah he liked it very much!

They both chatted a bit more Jiang Ying Yue was sent back home by Mu Shao Qing.

Of course, she scolded him for lying to her about the carriage, since she already found out that this manor had carriage that could send her home but that guy told her that he could only send her himself.

Mu Shao Qing just brushed her off by saying, “I want to send you home myself, in my arms for your safety. Plus, a carriage would be to flashy and your master would know about you not being in your manor.”

She couldn’t refute to that as he was right so she just kept mum.

As per usual, Jiang Ying Yue was princess carried in his strong embrace and was sent home like that.

She had found out from Mu Shao Qing that her master was away for a bit of time so she didn’t need to worry about him knowing her disappearance.

How did he know that? Of course he sent someone that night he fell sick to cover up for Jiang Ying Yue’s disappearance.

Reaching her courtyard, Mu Shao Qing suddenly hugged her tight. “Ying Yue, I will be gone for a long time this time to settle my things. Please wait for me and don’t forget me alright? Never take the necklace off.”

At first, Jiang Ying Yue wanted to push him away, but after hearing what he said, she paused.

He was going away? No wonder he looked a bit weird previously!

She knew best to not ask why but why did it look like they were a lover separating from each other?

“Why would I forget you? It’s not like I have amnesia right? Plus, why would I care? Hmph!”

Despite her saying that, her tone sounded a bit sad and her heart felt sour.

Mu Shao Qing hugged her tighter, then he let her go before planting a long and gentle kiss on her forehead.

“Ying Yue, remember, you are my, Mu Shao Qing’s woman. Don’t be naughty and take care of yourself alright?”

He was reluctant but really couldn’t afford to delay his matters anymore. At first, he thought that he could delay it a bit, but this morning, Du San informed that they had to leave tomorrow.

Jiang Ying Yue somehow accepted his kiss on her forehead calmly. She wasn’t dumb, she could feel all the insecurity, love and gentleness pouring into that one gentle forehead kiss.

This guy’s feelings was real but.. she wasn’t ready.

“Shao Qing, I am not ready and I don’t even know whether I like you or not.” She wanted to be honest.

“It’s okay. As long as I like you, that’s enough. I will make you like me back, as long as you do not forget about me. Ready or not, I’ll always wait for you, my woman.”

Jiang Ying Yue felt warm. “En.”

“I’ll miss you.” Mu Shao Qing gave her one last hug before his silhouette disappeared.
