C70

In front of Leng Qiyue was a gigantic white-furred fox … It was squinting its eyes and pouting as it was about to be kissed … Leng Qiyue's first reaction was to throw a punch right into the fox's left eye.

The fox jumped up with a howl. Its front paws were covering its eyes, and its hind legs were jumping around on the ground. It was quite comical.

Leng Qiyue snorted and said, "This is the result of you secretly kissing me."

The fox looked at Leng Qiyue with a wronged expression. "Then you can't slap your face. Haven't you heard that you can't hit your face?"

Leng Qiyue lightly replied, "I'm not hitting a person."

"Ugh." The fox was speechless.

"Xue Ling, when did you arrive? "How are the others?" Leng Qiyue was not in the mood to play around. She was very worried about Peony and the others.

So this fox was the Xue Ling that Leng Qiyue had saved before. That day, Dongfang Haotian had ordered that they be killed without mercy. Xue Ling was a fox spirit so she naturally had a way to escape. However, she didn't know what had happened to those people.

Xue Ling sat opposite Leng Qiyue. She pursed her ears and pitifully said, "They're all fine now. It's just that Dongfang Haotian sent some heavy soldiers to monitor their every move to prevent them from entering the palace."

Leng Qiyue relaxed and asked, "Didn't he say he would kill without mercy that day?"

Xue Ling waved her tail and asked, "Can he do it? Those soldiers were beaten to countless by us. In the end, that high-ranking official called Ada decided not to fight anymore and just followed behind us. Afterwards, Dongfang Haotian used your and Bai Lan's lives to threaten us. As long as we enter the palace and kill you, they wouldn't dare to act rashly. "

"What about you? When did you get here? "Since you're here, why don't you look for me?" Leng Qiyue sized up the little fox and discovered that his body was twice as big as before, just like an adult samo.

Xue Ling bitterly smiled and said, "I was here a long time ago, but I didn't expect the palace to have so many magical objects to repel evil. I didn't check them and suffered serious injuries." Afterwards, I escaped here to slowly recuperate. I don't have much mana right now, so I can't even change. "

Leng Qiyue patted Xue Ling's head and said, "You weren't this big before?"

Xue Ling chuckled and said, "This isn't me, I am just a dog." I just hid inside to cultivate, and only in its body can I not be hurt by divine tools. "

"Oh? Then, you're a fox falling for a dog? " Leng Qiyue made fun of him.

Xue Ling said helplessly, "I was injured that day. When I came here, I saw this dog die, so I got on its body. But it's not like I'm useless. I'll agree to a condition of his request. "

A dog still wants to talk terms? Leng Qiyue's interest was piqued and she asked, "What conditions?"

Xue Ling said, "He told me to give the box buried under the plum tree in the courtyard to Her Majesty."

A box? To the Empress Dowager? What do you mean?

"Did you dig the box? Where is it? Let me see. " Leng Qiyue was curious again.

Xue Ling yawned lazily. "No. When I came in, I knew that the empress dowager wasn't in the palace, so I didn't dig."

Leng Qiyue stood up and pinched Xue Ling's ear, roaring, "Hurry and dig!"

Xue Ling shuddered and quickly got up to run out. Leng Qiyue also followed him out. There was a plum tree in the yard, but it was already dead. Xue Ling sniffed like a dog and said, "Here it is."

Seeing that he wasn't moving, Leng Qiyue kicked him and said, "You're a dog now, so you're born with the ability to dig. Don't tell me you want me to dig?"

Xue Ling grumbled, "You evil woman." He then dug it up, and when he was about a foot deep, he found a lacquered wooden box.

Leng Qiyue took it out and wiped away the dirt. This box was made of Agarwood, and it was also painted. Although it was buried underground, it didn't decay at all.

The box was heavy, with a brass lock and patches of green rust. Judging from the rust on the lock, the box had been buried for many years.

Leng Qiyue carried the box back into the shop, and only then could she see the design on the lid. It was the Duo Dragon's Pearl, and with one glance she knew that it was an item from the Imperial Palace.

She took a copper taper from the lantern and inserted it into the lock. She picked a few taps and opened the lock, probably because the spring inside was broken. Opening the box, he saw that the items inside were somewhat disappointing. There were two identical figures, both female, wearing the same green floral dress. There were also two identical longevity locks. They were very small, only as big as a dollar coin. However, they were made of pure gold. One of them had the word "Moon" written on it, while the other one had the word "Bead" written on it. Together, they were pearls, and with the addition of the two cloth puppets, Leng Qiyue boldly assumed that they should belong to a pair of sisters. Was it the Empress Dowager's sister or sister? Other than these, there was also a piece of cloth at the bottom of the box. It was ice-cold to the touch, and seemed to be made of snow silk.

Opening the cloth, the embroidery of a pair of twin sisters could be seen. They looked exactly the same as the embroidery of a twin. However, their expressions were different. One was lively and cheerful while the other was reserved and deep. Beside the embroidery statue, there was a sentence, "The pearl reflects the bright moon, and the pearl covers the moonlight." It didn't seem like a poem, but she was unable to understand it. The literal meaning of the words was that the pearl and the moon were placed together, and the light of the pearl covered up the light of the moon.

There were only these items in the box and nothing else. Leng Qiyue resentfully said, "I thought there was some treasure, but it turns out to be only this much."

Xue Ling was at the side, yawning as she said, "Can you make me some fast food? Every day, I'm going to become a rabbit because I'm willing to be a carrot."

"Carrot? Are there any carrots here? " Leng Qiyue asked after putting the things back into the box.

"Yeah, there's also radishes, cabbages, and green melons." "I didn't know who used to live here. There was a vegetable patch behind the house, but there was no one to take care of it for many years. It was almost like a field."

"So it's like that. I live in a place with rice. I'll make some more dishes and go back to cook." You... Do you still live here? " Leng Qiyue did not know what Xue Ling planned to do.

Xue Ling said, "I'm not eating anymore. There's no food here. But I come here every day to clean and burn incense, unless I have something to do, because I made a wish that if I could see you, I would stay here to clean for a year. "

Leng Qiyue snorted. "Just cleaning for a year."

Xue Ling faintly said: "If I were to hear about your death in a year, I would definitely not live by myself. When that time comes, how would I be able to enter if I become a ghost?"

When Leng Qiyue heard this, she was somewhat moved. Holding back her tears, she intentionally cancelled, "Don't look for me when you're dead. I'm afraid of ghosts. "Haha …"

Xue Ling glanced at Leng Qiyue. Seeing her secretly wiping away her tears, she could not help but sigh. Ling Hu had only loved her once in his life, yet he had fallen in love with her. Furthermore, this woman had so many love debts, so it seemed that he would never be able to love her in his entire life.

Leng Qiyue held a lantern and found a carrot and a cabbage amidst the grass. She also picked two green melons and put them in a basket. She took the basket and wanted to return to the Cold Palace along the same path she had come from. As she climbed up the wall, Xue Ling laughed without restraint.

"Hahaha …" "The clumsy female monkey …"

Blue veins appeared on Leng Qiyue's forehead, and she was about to kick him, but Xue Ling stopped herself from laughing. "Come to my back. Although I don't have much mana, this wall won't be difficult for me."

Leng Qiyue was skeptical. She sat on the back of Xue Ling and hugged his neck tightly. Xue Ling's body crouched slightly. Then, she forcefully jumped up and stood on the wall. With a few jumps, she landed in the courtyard of the cold palace.

As Leng Qiyue got off Xue Ling's back, she complained, "You know I live here and yet you don't come to see me. You have no conscience."

Xue Ling yawned, climbed onto the Imperial Consort's chair in the courtyard and said, "I know you're here, but I can't get out. It's because you have the Demon Subduing Ring, so I can't leave the buddhist hall."

Leng Qiyue looked at the Demon Subduing Ring on her finger; it was still as black as before. She didn't think too much and went to wash the rice and make dinner.

Xue Ling ate a whole pot of rice. When Leng Qiyue finished her bowl of rice, she realized that there was no rice left in the pot. She lay on the chaise longue with her stomach facing up, licking her lips and rubbing her belly in satisfaction.

Leng Qiyue was extremely furious. She raised her leg to kick over the chair, but Xue Ling landed firmly on the ground. She solemnly said, "There's someone here."
