Divine Enchantress: Night Emperor’s Beloved Consort - Chapter 61

The next day, Jiang Ying Yue had lunch with Liu Weimin as promised.

In the middle of it, Jiang Ying Yue decided to tell him about her upcoming trip. Of course, she hoped that he would follow her but knowing that the trip was a dangerous one, she would understand if he didn’t want to follow her or his father not allowing him to do so.

Liu Weimin noticed that JIang Ying Yue had been staring at him and acting weirdly since a while ago. At first, he decided to ignore it and let her tell him whatever the matter was on her own but now, he could’t take it anymore.

Liu Weimin put his chopsticks down and looked at her with a flirty expression. “Watched enough? I know I know. I am so good looking that you can’t bear looking away but please young maiden, let this young master eat in peace alright?”

Jiang Ying Yue rolled her eyes. Yes yes you are good looking but not even as good looking as Long Xing okay? Hmph hmph.

“Yes young master, you are the most good looking one here that I can’t bear to look away. I am full just by looking at your magnificent face.” She said sarcastically.

Liu Weimin laughed loudly. Hahaha this girl. He noticed that Jiang Ying Yue had loosened herself slightly compared to before when she was with him and that was a good thing. She was not as guarded and as distant as before.

She was showing her real self more and more and it made him show his real side to her more too. He never knew that she was such a sarcastic woman before. He only knew that she was a sharp-tongued girl when he prank her when they first met.

He felt happy being her friend. Everytime he was with her, he could show his real self unlike when he was with his subordinates or family. He had to be a strict young master and responsible man as he was the only son of the first wife and had to show his strict facade in front of his step-siblings.

Liu Weimin decided to cut the chase. “Alright. Tell me what has been bothering you that you looked at me like that?”

Jiang Ying Yue sighed softly. “My master has decided to send me to Mount Trux to practice my cultivation and I want to ask you if you want t follow me there? But you need to think this through and ask your father first. This trip will be challenging. My master said that we will be there for a month.”

“What? Mount Trux?” Liu Weimin exlaimed loudly. Then, realizing that his voice a tad too loud, he lowered it down significantly. “Isn’t that the most dangerous in our continent? It’s the biggest mountain in the whole continent isn’t it?”

“Yea you are right. That’s why I want you to think about it carefully. You are the only son of the first wife. Your safety is the most important. Think carefully and discuss it with your father. If you agree, meet me at the entrance of Mount Caligo at dawn 6 days from now. If you are not there, I’ll take it as you are not going. Alright?” Jiang Ying Yue said.

“Alright.” Liu Weimin said.

They both went back home early that day as Jiang Ying Yue needed to prepare things for her journey and Liu Weimin needed to ask his father’s opinion about the trip.

……………….

-6 days later-

“Is everything prepared? Did you bring the pills that I have given you? Did you bring enough food?” An old man was seen asking a young girl anxiously in front of the manor’s gate.

“Yes master. I have prepared everything. Don’t worry.” Jiang Ying Yue answered. Her heart felt warm at his concern.

“Hmm alright then. Go and becareful then.” Yan Hua nodded.

The young girl in white then stepped into her carriage. The carriage then started moving leaving behind an old man who looked really sad that his precious-disciple was leaving him.

He did not know why but he felt that she was going to leave him for a long time instead of just a month. Yan Hua just dismissed that thought as something insignificant.

Jiang Ying Yue opened the carriage’s curtain and poked her small head out. She waved her hands. “Bye master. Take care and don’t miss me too much.” She said cheekily.

Yan Hua laughed. This girl- He did not know what to do with her.

The luxurious moved further and further away till only the sound could be heard and nothing else.

The carriage that Jiang Ying Yue used was precisely the personal carriage that Yan Hua had made specifically for her the other day.

Inside the carriage, Jiang Ying Yue wondered whether Liu Weimin would be there at the bottom of the mountain or not.

It did not take long before the white carriage arrived at the entrance.

Jiang Ying Yue had let the coachman know beforehand to stop at the mountain’s entrance so once they arrived there, he stopped the carriage immediately.

Jiang Ying Yue poked her head out of the window to look around. She saw a luxurious brown carriage parked quietly at the side with someone very familiar to her standing in front of it.

She smiled and got down her carriage.

The young man that had been standing in front of his carriage walked toward her. Today, Liu Weimin wore a dark green robe and somehow, he looked more good looking than usual.

Hmm why though?

In fact, she wasn’t wrong. After getting permission from his father, Liu Weimin had been preparing for the trip excitedly. And today, he woke up extra early to take a bath and wore his best robe. He was just really excited for the first trip with his best friend.

He even styled his hair a bit differently today.

Jiang Ying Yue talked first. “You came? Is it to send me off or to follow me?”

Liu Weimin faked a disappointed expression. “I.. I came to send you off. Sorry Yue Yue. This trip is too dangerous.” He lowered his head down.

Jiang Ying Yue had known that this guy was faking it so she decided to play along. She made a hurt expression with her brows furrowed and pouted her lips. “Is that so? It’s okay then, I understand. I wish you the best then. Who knows that this might be our last meeting?”

Liu Weimin heard what she said and immediately exploded. “Yue Yue what are you talking about? I was just kidding alright? I am following you. This won’t be our last meeting. I’ll protect you from any danger. Don’t joke about things like that!”

Jiang Ying Yue laughed heartily. “Hahaha I knew that you were playing with me. Your face when I first arrived didn’t look sad at all. In fact, you looked quite excited. So that already gave you away.”

Liu Weimin pouted his lips. This girl was just playing with me!

“Hmph how dare you play with this young master? Alright alright let’s go. I won’t be going with my carriage, I’ll follow in yours instead. Okay?”

Jiang Ying Yue nodded. She too agreed with the idea. “Alright. It’s better to go with one. My carriage can fit both of us anyways. Let’s go.”

They both then got onto the carriage it started moving.

The journey to Mount Tux would take 5 days even with the help of Ignium horses pulling the carriage.

They both talked and laughed in the carriage.

Liu Weimin told her that at first, he was scared that his father would disagree of him going to Mount Trux but he was wrong! Right after he told his father about it, his father immediately agreed to it.

Saying that it was a great opportunity for him to grow and practice. His father was happy that Liu Weimin finally had a good friend to hang out with. He had known who Jiang Ying Yue was and he wasn’t worried.

He just advised Liu Weimin to becareful and give him a protective talisman that could be used 3 times in case of danger.

With that, the duo chatted and even had lunch in the carriage. They both were excited for this trip not knowing the danger that would befall them.
