Chapter 13 Reading Together
When Mu Bai and Xiao Wu met again, they were both very happy! they looked at each other, and there were tears flashing in their eyes......
When the two first met, Mu Bai was already a beautiful young man, his appearance was like his Lingbo fairy's mother, his face was like a crown of jade, his skin was like condensed fat, and his demeanor was elegant and quiet.
Queen Ling Xuan's body is weak, Mu Bai's development is not good, and she has been riddled with diseases since birth, Mu Bai looks much thinner and smaller than her peers, in fact, Mu Bai is nine thousand years old.
The demon king has two sons, Cheng Lie and Mu Bai, and the one he values and loves the most is his sister-in-law Mu Bai, who is also a well-deserved future demon prince in his heart. On the one hand, because Mu Bai is intelligent, well-read, and broad-minded, and far-sighted, on the other hand, because Mu Bai is the only child of him and his beloved wife. Due to Mu Bai's poor health, the Demon Monarch didn't want him to work too early, so he didn't choose him as the prince for a long time, but his all-round cultivation has never been delayed.
The main thing that Xiao Wu accompanies to do is to accompany Mu Bai to study in Taixue Palace every day, where there will be masters and scholars personally selected by the Demon King, and Mu Bai will be taught according to the scheduled content, and the content of the coursework is all-encompassing, from the way of governing the world to the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, everything.
In addition to Xiao Wu, there are also people of the same age as Mu Bai, the second son of Mu Bai's second uncle, Mi Yin, and Lu Mang, the youngest son of King Ping of the Nine Palaces, who read for Mu Bai together.
Mu Bai rarely takes the initiative to intersect with people, he is cold and lonely, his expression of ignoring everything, and the alienation of rejecting people thousands of miles away, makes people dare not approach him. The two little princes who accompanied the little prince were always respectful in front of Mu Bai.
But Mu Bai is not like this to Xiao Wu at all, his gentle and affectionate eyes often linger on the little girl, and he speaks softly to her. For convenience, Mu Bai put on a boy's robe for Xiao Wu.
During class, Xiao Wu was arranged to sit with Mu Bai behind a long and large desk in the first row. In addition to listening to classes, Xiao Wu will polish ink for Mu Bai from time to time, take books and sort out bookcases.
Everyone also thinks that Xiao Wu is just a little scholar, and Mu Bai didn't introduce or explain, so naturally the teachers turned a blind eye to Xiao Wu's existence, and they didn't care about what they did to her, whether they listened to the lecture or not, and of course they wouldn't give her the constraints of schoolwork.
When she feels bored in class, Xiao Wu is often attracted by the birds outside the window, and even the colorful aurora flashing in the dark red sky.
Mu Bai is very serious in class, Xiao Wu is often attracted by Mu Bai who listens attentively to lectures, or argues and discusses problems, in addition to admiring his erudition, she mainly likes to see his beautiful face, she likes to see Mu Bai's face like jade like a flower and Yaru with gestures, no matter how you look at it, she can't get enough of it!
Once, Xiao Wu peeked at Mu Bai with a sideways head, and was caught by Mu Bai with doting eyes, he reached out and pinched Xiao Wu's red face, blinking and teasing Xiao Wu's nymphomaniac.
This small action did not escape Miyin's eyes, and he understood that this little dance was not as simple as a scholar in the eyes of the second prince Mu Bai.
Speaking of this, he is short and thin, with a pale face, a pair of slender eyes as sharp as eagle eyes, thin lips often pursed, often wearing dark robes, usually not talking much, and his face is always gloomy.
Every time Xiao Wu sees him, she always feels that he is mentally calculating and thinking about something?
Mi Yin is the second son of Xiao Teng, the second brother of the Demon King, Xiao Teng is now the president of the Demon Army, with strong martial arts and brave fighting. He knows that he lacks knowledge and strategy, because his eldest son is also a brave and wise person, so Xiao Teng has been cultivating his extremely smart second son since he was a child.
Mi Yinguo lived up to expectations, and at a young age, he was already better than his father in terms of strategy, tactics, formations, etc., and was often taken by his father to exercise and give advice.
Every noon, Mu Bai would be pushed by the personal guards Long Yin and Tiger Roar to the side hall specially designed for him next door to rest, where he would have some refreshments with Xiao Wu, and after that, Mu Bai would go to the couch to take a nap.
Xiao Wu was full of energy, and after asking Mu Bai, he would go outside the hall to play, and each time he would bring back some fruits and flowers.
One day, Xiao Wu did not follow Mu Bai to the side hall to rest as usual, she sat in front of the desk, playing with a transparent ball that can change colors in her hand, the ball flew up and down in Xiao Wu's hand, it was very beautiful!
Lu Mang looked at the freshness, stepped forward and snatched the ball, Xiao Wu was unwilling, and began to fight with him to grab it, and quarreled, "Why are you robbing my things and giving them back to me...... Give it to me".
Xiao Wu's shouts and fighting voices attracted Mu Bai in the side hall, seeing Lu Mang holding the ball he gave Xiao Wu, he was scolding Xiao Wu, "It's your honor that Xiao Ye can take a fancy to your things, dare to grab it again, be careful that Xiao Ye beats you...... Go, go over there and help the master grind some grinding, perform well, the master is happy, maybe consider returning it to you."
This Lu Mang is the youngest son of King Ping of the Ninth Hall of Hades among the ten halls of the Demon Realm, and the King of Equality has a son in his old age, so he is pampered and abnormal. Lu Mang is burly and strong, with a red face, big bell-like eyes, a wide mouth and a square nose, and his appearance is very domineering, but he has a simple brain, does not learn and has no skills, and is used to seeing the tragic situation in the big hell of Abi, and has developed a bullying, brutal and aggressive temperament.
Hearing that he let himself grind, Xiao Wu pursed her lips, frowned and pondered for a moment, glared at Lu Mang angrily, and really turned around and went to Lu Mang's case and began to grind the ink.
Lu Mang proudly took the ball, sat back in his seat, and played by himself.
Mu Bai saw Xiao Wu's big eyes turn a few times, aiming at the opportunity, using ink on the inkstone, and slashing in the direction of Lu Mang, a large pool of polished ink sprayed towards Lu Mang, making him all over his face, and he was immediately embarrassed.
Lu Mang was annoyed and embarrassed, and grabbed Xiao Wu from the case, only to see Xiao Wu flick his left hand, and several black objects fell on Lu Mang's cushion.
When Lu Mang caught Xiao Wu and raised his fist to fight, Mu Bai shouted angrily, "Presumptuous!"
Hearing the interruption, Lu Mang sat down on the seat in fright, only to hear a loud cry of "Ah!", Lu Mang touched his butt with his hand and jumped up from the mat, and pulled out a bloody thorn fruit with sharp thorns from his buttocks, looked at it and threw it to the ground angrily, his fire-breathing eyes glared at Xiao Wu, and pulled two bloody thorn fruits from his buttocks.
Lu Mangqi's fury was abnormal, and he pounced on Xiao Wu with his teeth and claws, shouting, "Damn minions......!
"Stop!", Mu Bai was pushed in and shouted at Lu Mang.
When Lu Mang heard the interruption, he had to stop raising his hand in the air, he stomped his feet angrily, "hummed" angrily, and his eyes almost dug Xiao Wu out of two blood holes.
Mu Bai's sharp eyes like knives looked around at Lu Mang, Mi Yin and the people waiting, for a long time, he pointed at Xiao Wu and said to everyone: "She is the little lord of the deer, and she is the companion of this prince, I hope you can respect her and love her as much as you do to this prince in the future...... If you dare to offend or disrespect, this prince will not be spared!".
"Uh?...... Yes, master!"
Everyone was stunned, and Mi Yin's eyes flickered, and he was thinking of his own little Jiujiu in his heart, and he was busy kneeling down and taking the lead, "Yes, Mi Yin obeys the prince's order." When everyone saw it, they all knelt down in unison, panicked, and secretly glad in their hearts that they hadn't offended before, this heroine who didn't know where it came from.
After Mu Baishen finished reprimanding, he motioned to Tiger Roar to take Lu Mang, who was bowing his head and losing his arrogance, out to check the wound. He took Xiao Wu's hand, sat back on the big case, looked at it gently, and patted his back to comfort him.
Mi Yin and everyone understood more thoroughly that the second prince was really extraordinarily good to this little deer master! not only did he not blame her for the mistakes she made, but he also clearly favored her.
Since then, no one dares to be disrespectful to Xiao Wu.
One afternoon after Lu Mang and Xiao Wu had a big fight, Lu Mang accidentally found Xiao Wu lying on a very thin branch, struggling to reach a big fruit at the top of the branch. Lu Mang is a warm-hearted person, with a bold personality, and he has always been able to afford to let go of things, when he saw Xiao Wu in distress, he didn't say a word, and he helped out.
If you don't fight, you can't make a deal, Xiao Wu and Lu Mang found that they were really like-minded and like-minded in playing, so they both abandoned their previous suspicions and became playmates. In addition, Mi Yin brought some fresh ideas and equipment to join from time to time, they caught fish and birds, and played heartily and happily every day between classes at noon, and naturally harvested more and more......
Later, during the lunch refreshment, Xiao Wu often only symbolically dealt with two mouthfuls, wrestling "I went out to play", and ran away without waiting for a reply. Mu Bai, who only left the words in his mouth, couldn't see the figure, and was embarrassed alone.
Long Yin and Tiger Roar couldn't look at it, and wanted to catch Xiao Wu back several times, but Mu Bai stopped with a wry smile, "Forget it, let her go."
The frolicking sounds of Xiao Wu and Lu Mang will float into Mu Bai's ears from time to time from the open window, thinking of Xiao Wu's crazy and having fun, the corners of Mu Bai's mouth will sway a faint smile.
Later, Xiao Wu's skills became bigger and bigger, going out earlier and earlier at noon, and coming back later and later, often bringing a body of dirt, and often returning with little birds, rabbits, foxes and even monkeys.
Mu Bai ordered people to set up a corner in the back garden of his Zhaode Hall to raise these birds and small animals brought back by Xiao Wu.
Many times, Xiao Wu often comes back with all kinds of scratches, bites, and even scalded injuries, Xiao Wu is solid and doesn't care, but Mu Bai will forcibly clean and bandage her. The heaviest time, Xiao Wu actually broke his arm, and Mu Baiqi punished the guards for not taking care of his master's responsibility.
The guards all felt aggrieved, they couldn't keep up, and they couldn't control it, and the guards were reluctant to be on an errand for Xiao Wu.
The guard's complaint gave Cui'er a headache, because of her words, Xiao Wu had already fallen on deaf ears. Without the queen's support behind her, Cui'er couldn't deter Xiao Wu, although she had the queen's instructions to control Xiao Wu, but she was just an attendant, pointing fingers at the master's affairs, and she couldn't pass the second prince Mu Bai. Before, Xiao Wu's mother beat her because she was too naughty, but she was still too playful and never changed. Alas, what can she do herself? Cui'er has a headache for Xiao Wu.
Mu Bai knew in his heart that Xiao Wu always seemed to have endless energy, and he was honest for a moment when he went up and down the tree, and he didn't listen to what he said, let alone those guards?
In the end, Mu Bai explained to Cui'er, Long Yin, and Tiger Roar, who were at a loss, "Forget it, let her go, she can do whatever she wants...... Fortunately, the little girl is solid, as long as she is cared for from major injuries, the rest will be tossed by her...... It's pitiful to leave home at such a young age!".
The guards were relieved when they received the second prince's forgiveness.
