Chapter 730: Habaek’s “Bride”
Two middle-aged men in Taoist robes were sitting around an alchemy furnace that hadn't even been lit. One of them was holding a fan in his hand, fanning the furnace quickly and waving it slowly, with a serious look on his face.
After a while, one of the men put down his fan and moved closer to the furnace to take a closer look.
"This furnace of elixirs should be of good quality. We can present it to His Majesty tomorrow."
"I think so too." The other man nodded in agreement, smiling.
"God bless my Lord. Your Majesty is destined by heaven and deserves to live a long and healthy life."
Shi Li, who was eavesdropping on the roof: ...
If she wasn't a demigod, she would have believed this nonsense. She is really good at fooling people.
[These two people would definitely be masters of telephone fraud if they were alive today~]
[Is their first lesson to brainwash themselves? I think they believe it themselves~]
[Stop talking, I’m alone at home, I’m scared T T]
Shi Li was a considerate girl. Seeing that the friends in the live broadcast room had started to get scared and had gotten tired of the fun, she left the same way she came.
But I didn’t expect that as soon as I walked out of the palace gate, I saw a shadowy figure standing in front of me.
The faint moonlight and starlight fell, making the figure look a little lonely and desolate.
Shi Li paused slightly, raised his hand to remove the small spell on his body, and revealed his figure.
At the same time, the man seemed to sense something and looked in her direction.
People look for him thousands of Baidu.
Suddenly looking back, the person was there, dimly lit.
For some reason, when Shi Li's eyes met Ling Heng's, they couldn't help but become moist, and her heart ached inexplicably.
It was as if she had lost someone very important to her and now met him again.
Ling Heng walked up to her, lowered his head and looked at her carefully. He seemed to notice that she was in a bad mood and frowned with concern.
"What's wrong? Someone bullied you?"
As soon as the word "bully" came out of his mouth, a fierce murderous aura even burst out from Ling Heng.
It seemed that as long as Shi Li nodded, even if there was a heavily guarded imperial palace ahead, it would not stop him from seeking justice for Shi Li.
"What are you thinking about? I'm just shocked by the exquisite deception skills of these two old liars."
Shi Li came back to her senses, grabbed his sleeve and shook it twice, her bright big eyes sparkling with watery light.
"If I watch them for a while longer, I'm afraid I'll believe they can really make an elixir of immortality."
As long as Shi Li was not wronged, other things were trivial in Ling Heng's eyes.
He slowly breathed a sigh of relief and stretched out his hands which had been behind his back.
"Where did you buy the cake?"
When Shi Li saw what was in his hand, her eyes lit up and she happily took it and took a bite.
It’s sweet and sticky, and really delicious.
Ling Heng tilted his head uncomfortably, and the hazy sky just blocked his red ears.
"I saw it when I came here."
He wouldn't say that he had been following Shi Li quietly since she left the house.
And because I was worried that she would feel hungry after this trip, I went out to buy her some sweet cakes.
In Ling Heng's heart, he never regarded Shi Li as a demigod, but just a little girl he liked.
That's it.
Shi Li bit the cake, looked at the sincere young man in front of her, and couldn't help but smile sweetly.
"Okay, let's go back. Xu is still hesitating, so let's wait a little longer. But we should still take care of those two old liars. No matter what, we can't destroy this rare era of peace and prosperity."
Shi Li held Ling Heng's sleeve with one hand and walked back slowly, talking to him.
Ling Heng listened patiently, looking down at her from time to time, and his usually firm and straight lips unconsciously raised a light arc.
Even if we don't say anything and do nothing, just walking side by side in the night, we will feel warm and happy.
When they were about to return to the imperial commissioner's residence, Shi Li finished the cake in his hand and suddenly knocked his head.
Oops, she also thought of herself as an ordinary girl.
As a demigod, he can still get a glimpse of the country's destiny.
If Emperor Yuanxu's dynasty was doomed to fall, even if she and Ling Heng exposed the tricks of the two old liars, this peaceful and prosperous era would not be preserved...
"What are you doing again?"
Her movements were so fast that Ling Heng didn't have time to react. When he finally did, he grabbed her wrist, fearing that she would hit him on the head again.
Then, he frowned and said sincerely, "If you must knock on the head, knock on mine."
Shi Li: ...
Although, she really wanted to laugh.
This little Taoist priest is so cute, could he have grown up eating cuteness?
"No more knocking, no more knocking. I can't bear to knock you."
Shi Li made a teasing remark without thinking, causing Ling Heng to turn his head away uncomfortably again.
Only a "shy" profile was left for her.
If we don't bully them at this time, it would be a real betrayal.
Taking advantage of the curfew, Shi Li got bolder and went straight over to kiss Ling Heng on the cheek.
Then, she got a little Taoist priest made of wood with red ears.
It’s really so cute, hahaha!
