805 Big Order

Mo Kingdom capital, Guanlan City's Jade Hue Parlor.

Before evening fell, business was already flourishing considerably.

The courtesans were welcoming and sending off guests at the entrance. It was bustling, and the songs and dances performed were extolling the good times.

Only Zhao Qiran hid beside the gazebo in the backyard for some peace and quiet, swinging to and fro on a swing in deep thought.

"Miss Ran, Miss Ran." A maidservant hurried over, promptly giving a curtsy.

Zhao Qiran's eyes immediately brightened. "Is it the Qin Estate's Second Young Master that has come?"

However, the maidservant shook her head at her and said very carefully, "It's, it's the Duan Estate's Eldest Young Master and Third Young Master that have invited you over to sit with them. Mama Li wants you to make preparations."

Zhao Qiran's eyes dimmed bit by bit.

At the same time, inside a certain incomparably magnificent room on Jade Hue Parlor's third floor, a red-robed female was lying on the bed. Her fair and lithe thighs were revealed, and she was gently fanning herself with a round silk fan.

"Princess. The snake beauty is here."

"Let her come in." This princess had an inborn childish voice, so it gave people a ticklish feeling when hearing her speak, as if they were being scratched by a kitten.

"Snake Beauty greets Princess." The snake beauty swayed her hips as she entered, and she dramatically made a show of wanting to prostrate on the ground.

"Alright, alright, alright." The princess grumpily glared at her while fanning herself. "After the village was exterminated, where did you wander off to? You only know to come back now?"

"Now this really is a long story!" The snake beauty swayed her hips before blithely sitting down on a round stool beside the bed. Afterwards, she reached out to take a cup of hot tea and took a sip.

"Princess, this subordinate had nearly died, unable to come back to see you!" While saying this pitifully, the snake beauty pulled on her sleeve to dab at the corners of her eyes.

Subsequently, she embellished and exaggerated her recount of how Mo Lian and Qiao Mu had barged into the underground village. She also included how she had escaped out of there by the skin of her teeth, after which she had been trapped in the body of groundwater. Afterward, she elaborated how much effort she had spent in order to come back.

By the time she finally ended her rambling narration, an hour had already passed. However, the Raksha Princess was still intoxicated by her storytelling.

"Sigh, this princess should have gone to the underground village earlier, and we could have gone through this adventure together. You were able to experience so many bizarre and fantastic events, sigh." The Raksha Princess fanned herself with her slender, jade-like hand. "Snakie."

When the snake beauty heard this pet name, she couldn't help twitching her ears.

In reality, after Qiao Mu disdained even her cute little baldy disguise, she parted with her at Beilan City's city gate. She also took on a private gig midway before coming back to see the Raksha Princess.

However, she obviously wasn't going to tell the Raksha Princess this.

"Sigh." The Raksha Princess sighed rather sorrowfully. "Snakie, this princess has accepted an order lately, but without you beside me to give advice, this order isn't going all too smoothly."

The snake beauty revealed a smile that was comparable to a blossom. "Princess, what kind of big order have you accepted?"

"Someone has placed an order at our Raksha Ghost Sect, offering an astronomical price for taking Northern Mo's crown prince's life." While fanning herself, the Raksha Princess raised up her long, slender, and fair thigh. "For this, I even specially dispatched someone to request for the Thief Sage's assistance."

The snake beauty smiled like bright mountain flowers in full bloom. "Is that so? Then Princess must have succeeded!"

"As a matter of fact, no." The Raksha Princess sighed gently. "Even until now, my cuties haven't even been able to enter Beilan City's city gate."
