Chapter 17: A World of One's Own

"It's strange, why did you disappear in the blink of an eye, even though you could still move forward just now?"

Qi Yanran followed the direction of the black shadow, chasing for about a hundred meters, just a second ago, the black shadow could be clearly seen, and after a second, there was no trace, she looked back and forth, but there was no trace at all.

"Isn't this speed a bit too exaggerated?"

Qi Yanran muttered incredulously.

"Host, the scene just now coincides with what you dreamed of before, so there are people in danger tonight......"

"Ahh Nine Princes ......"

Thinking of the previous dream, what happened in it was not only completely different from what was described in the original book, but also the person who was accused of being the mastermind in the original book became the target of the assassination in the dream.

Since it is possible to know the direction of the situation in advance, it is necessary to find Xiao Xuqing before the others, so that he will not be in danger.

"Huh? Host, you didn't think quite right. ”

"Huh? What's wrong? Ensuring the safety of the Nine Princes, shouldn't it be my concern? ”

Strange system, obviously reminded himself just now, if something happens to Xiao Xuqing, or if he can't help Xiao Xuqing achieve his wish, then he will really disappear, whether it is here or in the original world.

So what's wrong with her caring about Xiao Xuqing? Should she care or shouldn't she care?

"Host, what did you think about it before...... You think I don't know? It's all perfunctory, but if you think about the point you just cared about, and the state you were worried about just now, compared to the previous one, you may not be able to find it yourself, but the bystanders are clear. ”

"Well, what a mess, a lot of talking, what the hell are you trying to express?"

Qi Yanran frowned in disgust, this idiot system, how can he speak now, so able to go around the bend? What can you do to get to the point?

"Hehe, host, you can slowly experience it yourself, it's not interesting to spoil too early."

“……”

The mysterious ...... of the gods Forget it, don't waste time, Qi Yanran wants to find Xiao Xuqing as soon as possible.

So she went back the same way again and returned to the rockery just now, but unfortunately, it was already empty, Qi Yanran looked around, but found no trace of Xiao Xuqing.

"It's unreasonable, I didn't delay much time before and after, why is there no shadow of anyone?"

Qi Yanran was not familiar with the palace, and she suddenly felt that even if she wanted to try her best to avoid danger, she seemed to be powerless......

"What should I do?" Qi Yanran's eyes dimmed, and she turned her head to look at Shi Lu, "Is this really fate?" A life that can't be changed? ”

"Miss Qi is planning to become a humanoid statue in the palace?"

Yes...... Is this voice really another village? Just now, Qi Yanran was still complaining sullenly, and the next moment, the person who was looking forward to it appeared.

"Nine Princes, where did you just go?"

Qi Yanran's dim eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had been lost and regained, holding Xiao Xuqing's sleeves with both hands, and there was a smile on her face that Xiao Xuqing had never seen before.

Xiao Xuqing didn't answer Qi Yanran, slowly moved his gaze down, looking at Qi Yanran's hands holding his sleeves, for a while, the corners of his mouth pulled out a beautiful arc, which was not easy to notice.

"......Forehead" Qi Yanran saw that Xiao Xuqing didn't seem to notice what she had just said, but she lowered her head and fixed her attention on a certain place, and when she looked at his gaze, she found that she didn't know when she was holding Xiao Xuqing's sleeve, and it didn't seem that she wanted to let go, "I'm sorry Wang, Yanran was rude just now." "It's a little embarrassing, and I don't know how Xiao Xuqing will react.

Qi Yanran raised her hand and touched her cheek gently, the hot touch, she thought that if it was daytime, she would be able to see one or two, she suddenly felt very glad that it was night.

"I can understand it as...... Is Miss Qi worried about this king? ”

Qi Yanran wanted to dig a hole in the ground and drill into it directly, or run away without letting go? It's better than facing Xiao Xuqing awkwardly, right?

"Hehe, what do you say...... You may be Yanran's brother-in-law in the future, so naturally you have to care about it occasionally, hehe. Qi Yanran smiled very stiffly, "Besides, I haven't helped you catch up with your cousin, this task has not been completed, and I will still remember it in my heart." ”

Is it okay to break it so hard? Can you still go a little bit of care?

Xiao Xuqing still didn't speak at this time, but quietly. Approaching Qi Yanran little by little, Qi Yanran didn't notice it at first, but slowly realized that she began to retreat little by little.

She didn't dare to look at the man opposite, so she could only keep her head down and stare at the hem of her skirt, pinching the side of the long skirt with both hands, and kept rubbing it.

"Host, you're going back to the lake, huh?"

"Huh? Yes? ”

Qi Yanran was startled just now, although she knew that it was not far from the lake, but there was a fence by the lake as protection, so it should be safe.

It's just that Qi Yanran realized that if she wants to be absolutely safe, she must stay away from the lake, and on the other side of the lake, it looks like there are many people, is the banquet about to start?

"Can you be so half-hearted in front of this king?" I don't know when, Qi Yanran has retreated to the edge of the fence, and Xiao Xuqing's hands are placed on the fence on both sides of Qi Yanran, which is equivalent to encircling Qi Yanran, Qi Yanran looked at both sides in confusion, and before she could react, her chin was caught by Xiao Xuqing, "Miss Qi doesn't take this king in her eyes so much?" Well? ”

That last note made Qi Yanran feel a little chill in her back when she heard it, and she didn't dare to gasp, her brows were twisted into Sichuan characters, and there was a slight panic in her eyes, which was more puzzled.

She finally had a little understanding of the saying that a companion is like a tiger, why are kings in ancient times so ...... Casual? Shouldn't you be strict with yourself? One second it was like seeing poison, and the next second it would be light and light, does this face hurt?

"Nine, Nine Princes...... Why do you have to be so persistent? Qi Yanran was pinched and forced to raise her head to meet Xiao Xuqing's cold eyes, but ...... Today, for some reason, the usual coldness seems to be much less today, "Didn't you say yes to Yanran, and asked Yanran to help you create more opportunities to be with Pinyun?" Don't you need Yanran's help now? ”

"Look, not only do you not take this king in your eyes, but now you are threatening this king so openly." The conscience of heaven and earth, how dare Qi Yanran threaten, I can't wait to agree to all of Xiao Xuqing's requests, as long as he can stop troublesome himself, is it difficult for her to be an NPC quietly? "Miss Qi, it seems that this king is too good to you, so you have some inappropriate illusions, it seems that ...... This king needs to remind you in some proper way. ”

Illusion? What illusions can there be? The delusion should be the Narcissus Lord himself, right? It's okay to be indiscriminately incriminated, but he is still living in his own world, and he can't listen to Qi Yanran's cry at all...... What to do? Who can pull this daffodil out and throw it away?
