Bai Qingge was being helped out of the pit by Fufente, when suddenly something soft and fleshy appeared under his feet.

"I... seem to have stepped on something." Thinking that this was his own grave, Bai Qingge's whole body stiffened, and he simultaneously imagined a 1000-word horror essay.

"Nothing, just dirt."

"Really, really?"

...This isn't the way you cheat, is it?

But is there a possibility that what I just stepped on was really just a small slope made of mud, and I felt it wrongly because of my current physical condition?

......tnnd, I can’t even fool myself with such an outrageous reason!

Fufente touched Bai Qingge's body, which was so stiff that she couldn't even walk. She didn't even notice that the corners of her mouth, which hadn't changed in hundreds of years, curled up slightly.

Humans seem to be quite timid.

Fufente changed the reason for comforting her, "It should be venison. I was planning to replenish my blood."

There was no need for Fufente to continue speaking, Bai Qingge started to imagine it himself.

Oh~ By the way, Fufente was suspected to be a vampire, and now it seems that she is.

You ask why the vampires would go to such great lengths to drag venison up this mountain in the middle of the night to replenish their blood?

That must be... you want to eat while appreciating the moon, right?

Hahaha, vampires are also quite poetic.

Or maybe you are afraid of getting tired from digging, so you replenish your energy?

That's right, don't think about it anymore, it must be like this.

At least this reason was much better than the previous one, and she could barely convince herself.

Although he thought this in his mind, he gripped Fufente even harder.

So much so that Fufente felt a little pain in her arm. She did not remind Bai Qingge to relax, but instead enjoyed the feeling of being dependent on him.

Physical pain can never surpass spiritual satisfaction and joy.

The journey down the mountain was faster. Not long after they started walking, they saw lights ahead.

Bai Qingge narrowed his eyes and said to Fufente: "Let's go around it."

After all, if a person who had been dead for seven days suddenly crawled out, he might be regarded as some kind of monster.

I'd better explain it to my father and mother first.

Fufente nodded, supported Bai Qingge and prepared to go around.

"Hey, hey, look, what is that?" The guard patted his companion's shoulder hard and said nervously.

His companion looked in the direction he pointed and said in a serious tone, "Intruder!" He quickly drew his sword and rushed over with a flashlight.

He also hesitated for a moment. Could humans really be at that height?

Damn it, my shift is about to change, why am I the one who has to run into all the bad luck tonight?

He gritted his teeth, drew the sword from his waist, and ran over with his companions.

"Who are you? Stop right there. This is the Duke's private territory. It's not a place for dirty thieves like you to run wild."

The two men paused, apparently having been discovered, and stopped walking as they couldn't get through anyway.

"what!"

Hearing a scream from his companion in front of him, he shuddered with fear and gripped the sword even tighter.

"Ward, you....Ah!!!"

There really is a problem. No, there is a big problem!

"Little, miss?"

"You, you, are you a human or a ghost?"

"Of course it's a human. Do I look so scary that I can make such a sound?" This reminded her of some bad experiences.

"No, no, no, sorry miss, but you are not..." he couldn't help but ask.

"Dead, right?" Bai Qingge said it without any hesitation.

"This matter is complicated. Anyway, I was never dead from the beginning. Where is my father? Take me to see him."

This confident and mature tone really sounds like that of a young lady.

The fear in his heart was also reduced by more than half. After all, how could a young lady with a whole guard team die at the hands of those stupid orcs?

Moreover, he had seen the captain of the guards not long ago and originally thought he was seeing things.

After all, if he didn't get executed for committing such a serious mistake, how could he stay in the Duke's Mansion?

If the young lady hadn't died, then everything would make sense.

Thinking of this, he had almost calmed down. Ghosts and the like were just tricks for children. He didn't believe them.

Deducing that the person in front of him was the real lady, he bowed respectfully.

"The Duke is going to welcome the envoys from the upper country tonight. He will probably stay in the palace to attend the banquet and will not be back until tomorrow morning."

"What about my mother?"

"Not long after the Duke left, he seemed to have followed him to the palace."

"Huh?" I heard something was wrong. The two of them didn't go out together.

It would have been fine if it was just an ordinary banquet, her mother was not a person who stuck to conventions.

But today a banquet is being held in the palace to entertain important guests, which means that it should be hosted by the king himself.

Going one after the other, leaving aside other things, isn't this disrespecting the king and being disrespectful in front of foreign envoys?

Mother shouldn’t be that stupid, right?

Emmm, Bai Qingge pondered for a moment.

It seems hard to say.

She is quite a natural person.

Bai Qingge shook his head and stopped thinking too much. He was just a child now and should eat well, sleep, rest and grow up.

Anyway, he will be back tomorrow, so I can just ask him in person then. It’s because I worry too much about reality that I haven’t grown to my ideal height and my health is in such poor condition.

It's not easy to get such a wonderful start. I would be letting myself down if I don't enjoy this wonderful childhood.

He asked the guard to take him back to the Duke's Mansion. Although he tried his best to avoid being seen by people, he still couldn't avoid being seen by the guards and maids on night duty.

I’m afraid we won’t have to wait until tomorrow, it will be widely circulated tonight. I hope the version is not too outrageous.

Fortunately, the church still exists in this world. Although she doesn't like the people in the church very much, with their existence, at least she won't be treated as a real monster and executed.

But I feel like there are too few guards tonight. Is it my illusion?

"Miss, the water is already heated. Do you need my help?"

The reason I asked this question is because the lady doesn't like to have anyone around her when she takes a bath.
