Chapter 3120 Shen Tianyu 520

Bai Ji failed to grasp the hidden meaning in Wu Ya Zi's words.

Sheng Po, however, understood.

He looked at Wuyazi, wanting to confirm.

Wuya Zi nodded.

Sheng Po said to Bai Ji, "I won't take your life, but I will save it if necessary."

Bai Ji was overjoyed. She twisted her hands on the white jade table, gently rested her right cheek on her hand, gazed at him, and winked playfully at him. "You're so good to me? I forced you to stay by threatening to release Jing Hong, and I forced you to marry me by threatening to use the dragon scales and phoenix feathers. Don't you hate me?"

Sheng Po lowered his long eyelashes slightly, "We each took what we needed, it was a fair exchange, there's no need to hate each other."

Bai Ji's smile widened.

She became increasingly infatuated with him.

He was so alluring, born with a captivating charm, yet he possessed a righteous wickedness.

He grew up in a cult, yet he is righteous in a wicked way.

He is both righteous and wicked.

She reached out and took his hand, her voice tender, "Once I get past my father's hurdle and my mother comes out of seclusion, and after we've met, we'll get married. After our wedding night, I'll persuade my mother to give you the dragon scales and phoenix feathers. But once you have them, you can't leave, okay?"

Sheng Po remained silent, reached out and picked up a ginseng fruit, took a bite, and used the opportunity to avoid her hand.

The sweet fruit melts in your mouth, leaving a lingering fragrance on your lips and teeth.

Sheng Po thought to himself that this princess had a shrewd appearance, but at times she was incredibly stupid.

He and Wuyazi had repeatedly reminded her.

She remained unsuspecting.

Well, who would be wary of their own father?

After finishing a ginseng fruit, Sheng Po stood up and said, "Be careful tonight. If possible, you can take me to see your mother beforehand."

"So concerned about me?" Bai Ji smiled. "Are you in such a hurry to see my mother because you can't wait to marry me?"

Shengpo remained silent.

But it can't be said outright.

If Ming said that he was an outsider, Bai Ji would definitely trust her biological father more.

Given her personality, she would naturally go to her father to question him, which would only backfire and completely dash her hopes of obtaining the dragon scales and phoenix feathers.

Bai Ji stood up.

She escorted Shengpo and Wuyazi to their room.

The room had been tidied up by maids early in the morning.

Leaning against the door, Bai Ji faced Sheng Po, her eyes smiling, "Don't you have any questions for me?"

Sheng Po said: "No."

Realizing he had been too perfunctory, Sheng Po changed his question: "What do you usually like to eat?"

Bai Ji smiled and looked him up and down. "If someone else asked me, I would list a whole bunch of dishes, but if you ask me, I will only answer with one word."

Sheng Po could guess without her answering.

That word is: you.

That is, him.

He was invincible in front of women, the only time he lost was at the Fu family in Taiwan, where Fu Yuqiu preferred Shen Tianyu and didn't fall for his tricks.

Not wanting to flirt with her, Sheng Po asked, "Did your mother keep those dragon scales and phoenix feathers with her during her seclusion for cultivation?"

Bai Ji crossed her arms and slightly raised her chin. "Of course. Our family's dragon scales and phoenix feathers come from the Wuji Dragon and Phoenix Palace in Kunlun Mountain. That was where Jiang Ziya cultivated and attained enlightenment. It's different from what ordinary people see; it's rich in spiritual energy and full of magical power. Not only dragon scales, but also dragon whiskers, dragon..."

Realizing she had let something slip, she covered her mouth with a charming smile and said, "My mother always says I'm too trusting. I'm quite wary of strangers, but I'm not so wary of you, young master."

Sheng Po nodded. "You have to be wary of everyone, including those close to you."

He called on her again.

Bai Ji raised her hand and gently touched the door frame, her wide and light gauze sleeves falling to her shoulders, revealing a fair and slender jade arm.

She wore a jade bracelet of creamy white Hetian jade that shone with a precious light on her wrist, making her wrist appear even more slender.

Sheng Po looked away.

He was thinking of Gu Chuchu.

That girl doesn't usually wear jewelry, yet she exudes an air of nobility, radiating beauty and possessing a sweet charm that touches the heart.

A slight smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

Realizing he shouldn't smile in front of Bai Ji, lest she misunderstand his intentions, he suppressed his upturned lips and said, "It's getting late, please go back to your room, young lady."

"Good night, young master. I'm going back to sleep now." Bai Ji gave him a flirtatious wink, turned gracefully, and left with light, lotus-like steps.

She's wearing a modernized version of a Ming-style gauze dress tonight.

She wore a long, light green dress that trailed on the ground, with a silk belt that cinched her slender waist, and her thick, black hair reached her waist.

When she deliberately sways, her figure is incredibly alluring and seductive.

Sheng Po closed the door.

I find this kind of deliberate seduction a bit cloying.

He preferred Gu Chuchu's type, who was pure, sweet, and innocent, but was spoiled by her family, making her impulsive, a bit reckless, and also somewhat spoiled and shrewish.

A smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

With a few clicks of his tongue, Wuya Zi sat in his chair cracking sunflower seeds, spitting out the shells as he teased him, "Laughing like that? In that case, you can stay here and be the prince consort. I'll find a way to kill her father and her cousin, but not now. When they rebel, her mother won't be able to hold on, and then you and I will go and help her. That way, we'll have saved her life. At that time, they will definitely be grateful to you and will naturally hand over the dragon scales and phoenix feathers, killing two birds with one stone."

Sheng Po glanced at him and said, "You should just enjoy your melon seeds."

Wuya Zi grabbed a handful of melon seeds, stood up, and leaned closer to him. "What's wrong? Still shy? Bai Ji is a good girl. Although her methods are a bit despicable, she's not a bad person. Young, beautiful, and skilled in cultivation, why not? Marrying Xiao Chuchu is a good idea, but there are too many family matters involved. Merchants like you care about face, status, position, and reputation. If you insist on marrying Xiao Chuchu, it will be too tiring."

Shengpo did not answer.

I turned around and went to the outside water room to brush my teeth and wash up.

I discovered that there was no toothpaste or toothbrush here; they used a special salt to clean the teeth.

They do have razors, but they are manual.

It's not entirely isolated from the world.

After washing up, Sheng Po was wide awake.

He stood in front of the building, looking up at the sky.

Wuya Zi said that Gu Chuchu has also come. I wonder what she is doing now?

Are you crying, or are you thinking about him?

That girl loves to laugh and cry, she's like a child, she never grows up.

Suddenly, fireworks burst forth in the distant sky, displaying a dazzling array of colors.

He was slightly surprised.

You can actually see fireworks here?

Isn't there a barrier?

He stared at the fireworks in a daze. He usually had no interest in such things, but today he kept staring at the fireworks for a long time.

Wuya Zi leaned closer and touched his arm with hers. "Little guy, are you homesick?"

Sheng Po replied in a low voice, "No."

His biological father was a stranger to him, and although he had regained his biological mother, he no longer felt close to her. What he missed most was his pale, delicate, and melancholic mother from his childhood memories. No matter how his current mother tried to make amends, she could never fill the void in his childhood heart.

As for home?

The home that truly gives him a sense of belonging is in the heart of the Miao region.

Not in Suzhou.

The dazzling fireworks continued to bloom, rising into the sky, and suddenly transformed into a huge butterfly.

It was a beautiful swallowtail butterfly with seven horizontal rows of white spots in the center of its hindwings. The surrounding white markings resembled the belt of an ancient official, and the outer edge of its wings had pale red crescent spots.

The Common Bluebottle butterfly is entirely black, making it difficult to see its shape in the dark night sky.

But the fireworks were cleverly presented using light and shadow.

The jade-banded swallowtail butterfly that Gu Chuchu took in was a keepsake he left for her by using some tricks before he was sent to Brunei, flying all the way to Kyoto.

It was a small token between him and Gu Chuchu.

Sheng Po's lips involuntarily curled up again.

That girl.

That girl is really mischievous.

As he laughed, his handsome, long eyes gradually turned deep and dark.

Miss her so much.
