deadly mantra

Chapter 148 Am I actually a beast in your heart? !
The lively room returned to silence as Ji Qianying and others left.

Mu Chanyi helped the weak Bao Simu lie down.

Bao Simu closed his eyes, feeling disappointed.

After a while, she opened her eyes, looked at the busy figure beside her, and asked in a hoarse voice:

"What's your name?"

Mu Chanyi was writing down a medicine list when she heard the voice, raised her plain face, and answered:

"My dear, Mu Chanyi is the doctor brought by the Queen of Chixia Kingdom to diagnose and treat the girl."

Bao Simu was slightly stunned, very surprised.

Is your aunt here too?
In the past few days, she had been in a daze and didn't know what was happening around her. She asked weakly:
"Are you brought here by your aunt?"

Mu Chanyi put down her brush, walked towards the bed, and said:

"The poison of the cold syndrome in the girl has just been cured, so it is not advisable to waste much time and energy. You still need to rest more."

"poison?"

Bao Simu slept for too long and his brain couldn't turn around. He only subconsciously listened to Mu Chanyi's words and nodded:
"Um...Okay, that...Twilight...Twilight?"

Mu Chanyi reminded softly:
"Muchanyi."

"Oh, Mu Chanyi, thank you for saving me."

Mu Chanyi stopped in front of the bed, slowly bent over, and carefully tucked the corners of the quilt to prevent Bao Simu from getting cold again, and answered casually:

"Girl, there is no need to thank me. Since I have received the bounty, I will take care of the girl with all my heart until she recovers. Furthermore, if it weren't for the Jiuqu Tianyin that the young master just used as medicine, I alone would not be able to cure the girl. The cold poison on the body.”

"The... Young Master just now?" Bao Simu was stunned for a while: "Who are you referring to?"

Mu Chanyi said slowly:
"It seems that he is a friend of Young Master Feng."

"Master Feng...?" Bao Simu hesitated for a moment, suddenly remembered, stretched out his hand from under the soft quilt, grabbed Mu Chanyi's thin wrist, and asked hurriedly: "Is it Feng Xiaoyao? You said that Mr. Feng is Feng Xiaoyao?"

"Yes." Mu Chanyi replied.

Bao Simu lay back on the bed in despair, looking at the bed curtain with dull eyes, muttering to himself:
"Feng Xiaoyao's friend...could it be...could it be Mr. Shui? It was Mr. Shui who saved me? Is it him? Is it really him?"

Joy, accompanied by emotion, impacted Bao Simu's heart.

Mu Chanyi raised her eyes and glanced at her. When she saw that she didn't ask any more questions, she turned and walked towards the door.

Bao Simu stared at the ceiling of the tent, a silly smile appeared on his pale face:

"It's him, it's really him, it's true in the dream, it's him who saved me, it's him who saved me... it's him."

That night.

The water-washed moonlight fell on the silent Liushuang Pavilion.

In Feng Xiaoyao's room, there was a different kind of excitement.

Candles are lit on an elegant lotus candle holder.

In order to create an atmosphere, Givenchy specially put out more than a dozen fist-sized night pearls, illuminating the room as brightly as daytime.

Feng Xiaoyao took the medicine and fell asleep for a day. By evening, her body was as hot as boiling water.

Concubine Luo Zi and Ling Qiao took turns wiping the soles of Feng Xiaoyao's feet and palms with a hot towel. They continued wiping for half an hour. Feng Xiaoyao's high fever finally subsided.

Shui Qingchen was worried about leaving Concubine Luo Zi to watch the night alone, and Ji Fanyin didn't want to go upstairs to sleep alone. After some discussion, the three simply took out the chessboard and decided to stay up all night together.

Ji Fanyin moved a stool and sat obediently next to Shui Qingchen, not caring that Concubine Luo was there. She rested her little head on Shui Qingchen's arm and stared at the chess game with her big, watery eyes.

Concubine Luo Zi held a sunspot in her hands like white bamboo shoots. Liu Yemei frowned slightly because of the current predicament, and her charming face was full of composure.

Shui Qingchen held a white chess piece in his hand, sitting elegantly with a faint smile on his brows, waiting patiently.

"Yes." Luo Zifei's eyes lit up and she placed the chess piece.

Before she could take a breath, the chess piece in Shui Qingchen's hand dropped, and she fell into a trapped situation again.Ji Fanyin held back her laughter and almost laughed out loud. Her clear eyes turned intelligently, with a hint of mischief and teasing, as she looked at Shui Qingchen and then at Concubine Luo Zi, whose brows were getting more and more frowned.

It is said that a chess game is like a battlefield, and watching the chess game reflects one’s character.

After the seventh or eighth round, Ji Fanyin discovered a very interesting place.

Concubine Luo Zi is well-read in poetry and books, and her speech and behavior are not to be praised. What is even more rare is that she is neither arrogant nor impatient. She plays chess in a steady and steady way and has her own ideas.

Shui Qingchen, as for Shui Qingchen, was in complete control of the whole game. He saw through Luo Zifei's thinking in playing chess, but he didn't tell the truth. Although he could win at the beginning, he kept Luo Zifei's heart in mind and gave Luo Zifei every chess game. The concubine set up a game and led her out of that game.

It's not like he's playing chess, it's more like... well... he's training an opponent?
Ji Fanyin thought she was wrong at first, but after a few games, even she became serious without realizing it.

She originally thought that Chen Chen was a just and awe-inspiring man, and that his nature in playing chess should be the same, abiding by the rules and winning steadily, but in fact, his tactics were ever-changing and unpredictable.

This reminded her of someone inexplicably...

One is a person who regards human life as a plaything and life as a game.

"I lost." Luo Zifei said, interrupting Ji Fanyin Feiyuan's thoughts.

Ji Fanyin asked with a smile:

"Are you still going?"

Concubine Luo Zi was exhausted. She had never known that playing chess could make people so tired.

Concubine Luo was deeply impressed by Shui Qingchen's erudition and extraordinary foresight.

However, I am impressed and admired.

Concubine Luo Zi did not intend to continue with this godly man, so she took the opportunity to say:

"No more, I'll go to the kitchen to make some midnight snacks."

Ji Fanyin hugged Shui Qingchen's arm and smiled brightly:
"Sister Luo can't beat my family Chenchen, so I have to use the 36 strategy to move~"

Concubine Luo Zi's cheeks turned red and she glanced at Ji Fanyin.

It's a pity that she is gentle and modest by nature, so her pretended anger lacks the essence and makes her appear rather delicate and cute:

"Who just complained that they were hungry and wanted some noodles. Besides, I don't want to run away. Mr. Shui, please wait a moment. I'll be back soon. Let's get on."

Shui Qingchen raised and retracted his arms and took Ji Fanyin, who was trying his best to suppress his laughter, into his arms. He nodded towards Concubine Luo Zi and said warmly:

"Okay, here's Miss Lauro."

After Concubine Luo Zi left, Shui Qingchen let go of Ji Fanyin and wanted to teach her a few words, but he couldn't help but laugh:
"Miss Luo is thin-skinned, don't make fun of her."

"Pfft hahaha... I know, I know, but I can't help it. Hahaha, the more I look at her, the more I find Luo Zifei very interesting."

Shui Qingchen glanced at her helplessly, his eyes filled with indulgent doting:

"Miss Luo is a blessed person. It's easy to be smart, but it's hard not to fight for victory. She can keep her heart steady and can withstand pressure. The most rare thing is that she also has a delicate heart."

Ji Fanyin blinked her big eyes and asked:
"What about me~ Do you think I am a lucky person?"

"you……"

Shui Qingchen paused deliberately for a moment, unable to help but want to tease her:

"You look like a naive and innocent rabbit, but you are as alert as a cheetah. Your habits are more like a little fox. You are smart and cunning, suspicious and cautious. The most rare thing is that you have the power of the four beasts of the jackal, tiger and leopard."

Ji Fanyin was stunned for a long time before she realized what she was doing and shouted:

"You use such nice words to praise Sister Luo. Why is it that when it's my turn, it's all birds and beasts? Okay, okay, I'm actually a beast/animal in your heart?!"

Shui Qingchen smiled and was about to speak. Suddenly, a lazy laughter carrying a strong inner force came from the yard into the house——

"Little wolf cub, little wolf cub~ is not just a beast. The young master's metaphor is unexpectedly apt."
