Xu Mo and Ling Que came to one of the busiest streets in Kyoto City. It was getting late and there were no pedestrians on both sides of the street. They came to the river and sat down.

After having dinner just now, Xu Mo and Ling Que were already somewhat familiar with each other, but now they still seemed a little reserved when they were the only two people on the street.

"Miss Ling Que, did I hear Rong Ruo and they call you princess?" Xu Mo took the lead in breaking the silence and took the initiative to talk to Ling Que.

"Yes, I am the peacock princess in our mountain forest. You still don't know that my original form is a peacock, right?" Lingque's eyes slightly raised and she looked at Xu Mo.

"You have a very docile personality. By the way, how many years have you been practicing?" Xu Mo asked curiously.

"I am hundreds of years older than Rongruo." Ling Que looked at Xu Mo's stupid look and couldn't help but laugh.

"So long?" Xu Mo sighed in surprise.

"I heard that Mrs. Shangguan's fourth daughter is married to your Prince Mei, right?" Ling Que asked next.

"Yes, but my prince is not lucky enough to keep her." Xu Mo picked up a stone from the ground and threw it into the river.

"Can you tell me their story?" Lingque was very curious and wanted Xu Mo to tell her about Mei Xichen and Shangguan Qing, so she tugged on Xu Mo's arm and shook it left and right.

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you about it, but it's a long story." Xu Mo looked at the opposite bank and recalled what happened in the past.

I don't know how long it took for Lingque to fall asleep leaning on Xu Mo. In order not to wake her up, he never moved. It wasn't until the cockcrow in the early morning that Lingque woke up.

"I fell asleep last night, why didn't you call me?" Lingque looked at Xu Mo embarrassedly.

"I saw that you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't dare to disturb you." After saying this, Xu Mo smiled and looked at the ray of morning sun shining directly on Ling Que's face, which looked particularly beautiful.

"Should we go back?" Lingque reminded Xu Mo.

"Oh, yes, today I will take you to the place where we are setting up defenses. We may have to spend the next few days there."

"Okay, we'll go wherever you say." After saying this, Ling Que smiled at Xu Mo.

Ling Que's smile came unexpectedly, and Xu Mo's eyes seemed to light up. He didn't know what to say to Ling Que at this moment. He just felt that the princess in front of him was so cute and had no airs at all.

He really wanted to touch her head and kiss her on the forehead, but he just thought about it and didn't dare to act rashly.

Ling Que looked at Xu Mo who had been staring at her, as if she was in a trance. She also knew that Xu Mo liked her, which made Ling Que even happier. Although she had practiced in the mountains for nearly a thousand years, there were also some in her clan. Many tribesmen expressed their love to her, but she was never moved by it. It was this handsome young man in his early twenties that really moved her heart.

"Commander Xu, can we go?" Ling Que waved his hand in front of Xu Mo's eyes, which made Xu Mo calm down.

Xu Mo has been with Mei Xichen since he was a child. Although he has seen some women, his behavior is relatively capable and military. Xu Mo is not proficient at all when it comes to flirting.

But the more silly he is, the more he likes it.

The two came to the palace, packed their belongings, and Lingque followed Xu Mo to the late emperor's cemetery.

There are no heavy guards here. After all, the people we have to deal with are not mortals. It is useless to put so many soldiers here. There will be guards stationed when the emperor comes later.

Xu Mo simply arranged a few eyeliners here. Once the fake emperor appeared, he only needed to report it in advance.

There are also mausoleum keepers around the cemetery, and the room they live in just leaves a room for Xu Mo and Ling Que.

"Miss Lingque, the conditions here are simple, you can make do with it here." Xu Mo said while taking Lingque's belongings.

"What about you, Commander Xu?" Lingque asked quickly.

"I, I am a soldier, I don't care about these things, I... I just stand guard outside for you." Xu Mo was so nervous that he spoke intermittently.

"I think it's better to do this. This bed is quite spacious. If you don't mind, I can just put a curtain in the middle.

"As he said this, Lingque cast a spell to transform a curtain directly above the bed.

"This is not good. After all, men and women live in the same room, but we still have the same bed?" Xu Mo was a little shy.

"What's the point? We don't have so many rules there. I was just afraid that you would mind, so..."

"Okay, stop acting like a girl." Lingque said as he took Xu Mo's belongings and put them on the table.

The cemetery is extremely quiet at night. Ordinary people would be too scared to stay here, but for Xu Mo and Ling Que, the environment here couldn't be more comfortable.

Xu Mo never took the initiative to talk to Lingque because he was embarrassed. Lingque felt bored when Xu Mo ignored him, so he walked out of the room to relax.

When she came to the forest, Lingque suddenly felt very comfortable. She was walking in the forest and suddenly heard a "click" and Lingque sat on the ground.

"What's wrong with you? Are you okay?" Xu Mo ran out from behind and squatted on the ground to carefully observe Lingque's slender legs.

"Did you get caught in the leg by the trap set by Orion?" Xu Mo asked quickly.

"I think it might be, it hurts so much." Lingque groaned in pain.

Xu Mo quickly unhooked the clip, gently grabbed Lingque's calf with his hands, and took off her boots.

"I'll carry you." After saying that, he picked up Ling Que and walked towards their room.

In fact, how could Lingque's years of practice be trapped by the trap set by Orion? She saw that Xu Mo really didn't know how to chat, so she found a reason to make him care about her.

Lingque knew that Xu Mo had been following her from the moment she came out.

This clip was just a cover-up, but Xu Mo actually took it seriously. After all, he was a mortal, so how could he know that Lingque was teasing him?

Back in the room, Xu Mo put her on the bed, and a jade leg instantly appeared in front of Xu Mo's eyes.

"Miss Lingque, please wait a moment. I'll get some medicine and apply it on you." Xu Mo quickly ran over and took out a green bottle from his bag.

"I found it. This is medicine for bruises. Just be patient." At that time, Xu Mo was just worried and couldn't care about so many things to avoid suspicion.

Gently sprinkle the powder on Ling Que's ankle and knead it gently.

"It hurts so much." Lingque cried softly.

"Does it hurt? Just bear with it for now. It'll be fine soon." As he said this, Xu Mo was about to bandage Lingque.

After a while, Xu Mo just picked up the gauze. Ling Que covered his mouth and laughed: "No, no, Commander Xu, I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me."

"Then why are you laughing? The wound doesn't hurt anymore?" Xu Mo saw Lingque laughing and immediately realized that he had been fooled.
