Chapter 80 Night

At night, Fanyintian specially held a banquet to welcome Xiao Yan.

But to her surprise, the surrendered official whom she regarded as a threat was nowhere to be seen.

"Why didn't the young man's friend come along..."

"She?" Xiao Yan frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "She has never been restrained. Saint Ji doesn't need to pay attention to her."

Fanyintian, who had specially arranged dancers, was stunned at first, but did not want to disturb the fun, so he ordered a group of dancers to dance in the hall. The dancers, who looked a little springy, had a subtle fragrance and graceful dancing, which, accompanied by the music, created a unique beauty.

Xiao Yan put down his wine glass and watched carefully.

Fan Yintian was sitting opposite him. Seeing this, he felt secretly proud. Then he looked up and turned to Ji Ruxue beside him and signaled with his eyes.

Ji Ruxue pursed her lips and uncomfortably lifted up her skirt that exposed her shoulders and neck, slightly covering her neck and chest. Fan Yintian then made a "tsk" sound and showed a look of disappointment.

If Miao Chengtian's two sisters hadn't said that Xiao Yan seemed close to Ji Ruxue, she would have gone into battle herself long ago.

At this time, she smiled and said, "I still remember that when we were in danger in Bianliang, it was Xiao Lang... it was Xiao Lang who intervened in time to save my life and the lives of Xue'er and other sisters. Xue'er was poisoned by corpses at the time, and it was Xiao Lang who saved her. Today, I am holding a banquet to welcome Xiao Lang and to thank him."

After she finished speaking, she drank a cup and then looked at Ji Ruxue: "Xue'er, you should go forward and thank Xiao Lang properly."

"No need to be so polite." Xiao Yan took a sip, put down the wine glass, and said, "Miss Xue'er and I are personal friends, so we don't care about these things."

Fan Yintian smiled and wanted to put more pressure on Ji Ruxue.

But the latter saw that the dancer's dancing was becoming more and more seductive, and although Xiao Yan looked indifferent while watching the dance, he seemed to be very interested. His fingers were tapping on the table from time to time. Then he drank a glass of wine, gritted his teeth, and got up and left.

"please."

In front of Xiao Yan's stunned gaze, she raised her hand and poured him a glass of wine. Then she knelt down beside him, blocking his view of the dance.

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, but only then he realized that the girl's seemingly thin body was actually well developed. He was half a head taller than her, and although he was sitting at this time, he could clearly see the shallow groove on the latter's neck and chest.

There was a gleam in Ji Ruxue's eyes, and her rather cold face was a little flushed from drinking a full glass of wine, but she also looked like a bright girl, not as cold as before.

She noticed Xiao Yan's subconscious gaze and her cheeks turned redder, but she did not hide.

She held the wine glass, thinking about the past few months, and then boldly met Xiao Yan's gaze and called out softly, "Xiao Lang, please."

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, then smiled calmly, held up the wine glass with both hands, and clinked glasses with her gently.

"Miss Xue'er, please."

The two drank it all in one gulp. Fanyintian couldn't help but be overjoyed and stood up and raised his glass.

"I'm going to Qi for Xiao Lang, and I won't return until I'm drunk tonight!"

Ji Ruxue pursed her lips, with a smile on her face, and looked up at Xiao Yan.

As expected, the latter no longer watched the dance. He relaxed from the high pressure of the previous period and drank from the full cup.

…………

Late at night, Xiao Yan was drunk and declined the maid's offer to undress him and wash him, and he washed himself.

In this way, he finally sobered up, but he seemed to have forgotten something. However, after being drunk, he didn't want to think about it anymore. He closed the window, turned off the lights, and fell into a deep sleep on the bed.

After a long time, he suddenly woke up and found that the curtains on the edge of the bed had been drawn by someone. In the darkness, there was something soft in his arms.

Under the quilt, this extra body felt a little cold, and a faint fragrance floated in the air. The woman in his arms just gently rested her head on his chest and breathed slowly and regularly.

He was particularly familiar with this fragrance.

Xiao Yan felt a little confused in his mind, but he was very calm. After realizing a soft arm was around his waist, he tried to get up slowly.

The girl in his arms, however, let out a soft drunken murmur at this moment.

Xiao Yan froze for a moment, sensing that the young man's rising emotions were suddenly aroused.

He didn't dare to move, and after hesitating for a moment, he gently embraced the woman in his arms and fell asleep again.

……

In the moonlight, the surrendered minister Shi Ran jumped down from the pavilion and saw several maids hurriedly retreating from Xiao Yan's room.

She raised her eyebrows, walked over from the corridor, and was about to push the door, but her hand stopped in the air.

After a moment, she snorted, turned around and left, feeling annoyed at being stood up.

------

As the night passed, the sky gradually brightened.

Xiao Yan opened his eyes and seemed to have had a long dream at night.

The drunkenness had long gone, but soon he smelled the fragrance in his arms.

Instantly, he was startled and looked up, only to see that there was no one on the couch. Instead, his clothes were neatly folded and placed beside the pillow.

"hiss……"

He had some confused memories, and only felt relieved when he thought that he just slept with someone in his arms.

Then, he yawned, pulled open the curtain and got out of bed, only to see a graceful figure with long hair sitting leisurely at the table in the room.

There was food on the table, including cheese, bread, rice porridge, etc., as well as a few side dishes, which was very complete.

But at this time, the surrendered minister had picked up the chopsticks and tasted it carefully for him.

Xiao Yan didn't care about these. While washing up, he asked, "So early in the morning, what does Corpse Ancestor want to talk to me about?"

The surrendered minister snorted and ignored him.

Xiao Yan frowned, then suddenly remembered something and slapped his forehead.

"But I forgot about the appointment with Corpse Ancestor to practice martial arts at night..."

The surrendered minister dropped his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with satisfaction, then stood up, supported himself on the table, raised his eyebrows and said, "I need to make three rules with you."

"Please speak, Corpse Ancestor."

"First, since you want me to replace someone's face, you have to follow my instructions during these days."

"can."

"Second, when you practice, I need to be there to observe you."

Xiao Yan pondered for a moment and nodded, "Okay."

"Third, you'd better not sleep with me for now." Jiang Chen stared at him without blinking, "For something like this, it's best to tell me in advance."

"..."

Xiao Yan rubbed his brows, sat down, and began to eat the remaining food on the table.

"I will."

"That would be better." Jiang Chen ruffled his long hair and snorted.

At this moment, a maid came to remind him that King Qi had returned to Fengxiang and summoned Xiao Yan to see him.

Finally, the maid carefully looked at the minister, looked a little surprised, bowed and walked out.

"No, they may have misunderstood our relationship."

Jiang Chen raised his eyebrow at Xiao Yan and said, "Do you need me to act with you, Xiao Lang?"

"Please stay away from me when you are free."

The latter put down his bowl and chopsticks and walked out.

"whispering sound."

The surrendered minister snorted indifferently, but followed him.

"Then King Qi, I would also like to meet him."
