She watched Tong Li coldly as she put on a bright red dress, with a tall bun adorned with a multi-coloured long earring and gold toe ring, and a few petals of flowers on her forehead, which looked gentle and lovely. When she turned around, her eyes seemed to flow, and her dress fluttered about – it turned out that men could also be incredibly beautiful.
Jun Xu lowered her eyes, took a sip of tea, and here she was, as if watching a TV drama, without any enthusiasm, her whole body lazy, not even wanting to speak.
Caihuan is not by her side, and it is always empty around her. Closing her eyes, she listens to the noise of the world, and Junxu feels a little hatred towards Tongluo, who made her leave Caihuan. Caihuan will be waiting for her to go back, right? He must be very anxious after waiting for so long.
‘Your Highness, is this alright?’
Junxu waved impatiently, not bothering to ask.
Tongluo lightly frowned
‘Your Highness, the risks are great, so be very careful!‘
Jun Xu retorted ironically
’If it’s so dangerous, I’d rather not go.‘
The beautiful Tong Li turned around suddenly, her eyes wide with anger, and swept the teacup in front of Jun Xu away with a wave of her sleeve
’If it weren’t for your status, do you think we would be looking for a useless…
‘ “Tong Li, shut up!!!”
Jun Xu laughed
’Useless, right?’
slowly picked up the teapot, filled his cup with tea, and watched the candle light shakily reflected in the teacup without saying a word. Jun Xu let out a long sigh and leaned back on the couch
‘The King of Hell will not let you live until morning, so I won’t keep you up tonight. I’m not busy, so I’ll tell you a story to pass the time.’
Without waiting for the two men to respond, Jun Xu spoke
‘A long time ago, there was a big tree in the mountains that was several hundred people’s combined width. Its trunk was so swollen that it didn’t follow the rules, and its branches were so curled that they didn’t follow the norms. No matter where it was planted, no one would bother to work on it. So, it lived a long life and was spared the disaster of being cut down.‘
