Princess In Prosperous Age

Zi Yan didn't hear the rest of his words clearly and returned to Qiao Liangjin's side. She carefully massaged Qiao Liangjin's calf and muttered, "Prince Ning also seems to be a strange person."

Qiao Liangjin seemed to have had a very long dream.

She dreamt that she had returned to that reinforced concrete city, expressionlessly shuttling back and forth in the crowd. Every time she received the order to assassinate someone, she would prepare herself a week ago, and as long as the money was in her account, she would skillfully send that fiery hot bullet into someone's chest or head.

However, somewhere in her heart was emptiness. A blurry figure always appeared in her mind. That person wore a red brocade robe, and his chest was partially exposed. He was leaning against a peach tree. His exquisite collarbone seemed to be tempting her … She could not see the man's face clearly, and could only hear the soft sigh of a baritone.

Every time she thought of that sigh when she woke up, Qiao Liangjin's heart would throb inexplicably. She wanted to find that person and see his face clearly. She wanted to ask why he sighed.

Milk, red wine, beef, the hustle and bustle of the city disturbed her thoughts. She was always lonely, as if she did not belong in this world of colorful paper and drunk lights.

Qiao Liangjin, who was riding a train from one city to another, looked at the scenery outside with a confused expression. She did not know what she was going to do, but she did not dare to stop.

She walked around the city constantly, trying to find the owner of that sigh. She wanted to stop him and ask why he was sighing.

Occasionally, when she woke up from her dream, she would call out some unfamiliar names. Whenever she saw a puppy, she would kneel down and ask, "Are you Yusheng?" Every time he thought about his strange reactions, Qiao Liangjin felt like going to see a psychiatrist.

After they walked to the ends of the world, Qiao Liangjin booked a room. He changed out of his T-shirt and shorts and put on a long Bohemian dress. His hair was loose and tied behind his head. Looking at himself in the mirror, Qiao Liangjin faintly smiled.

She was tired of living now, tired of killing people. If he couldn't find the sighing man, Qiao Liangjin decided to wash his hands and spend the rest of his life on this island.

The night was cold, and the sea breeze was not loud. Qiao Liangjin walked along the sea shore with his bare feet. The sea breeze blew past and messed up Qiao Liangjin's long hair. She simply stood against the wind and spread her arms, allowing the wind to penetrate her.

Without any precaution, a pair of arms grabbed Qiao Liangjin's waist from behind. Qiao Liangjin's heart skipped a beat and subconsciously grabbed the arm and with a shoulder throw, he threw the person behind him heavily onto the beach.

The moonlight was very bright. Borrowing the moonlight, Qiao Liangjin lowered his head to look at the man lying on the ground. His heartbeat suddenly accelerated. The man wore a snow-white shirt, exposing half of his chest. He raised an arm to support his head, and with an indifferent expression, he smiled and said, "Lady's temper is really big."

Qiao Liangjin's heartbeat sped up again. Why … why did this voice sound so familiar? She took a deep breath with all her might, trying to keep her heart pounding. She bent down slightly and asked softly, "Who are you?"

The man followed Qiao Liangjin's eyes and looked at her chin, neck, and then at her collar. Suddenly, a deep groove appeared in front of him.

At the next moment, the man coughed up a nosebleed.

He took out a tissue and covered his nose as he said somewhat embarrassedly, "I didn't expect this young lady's body to be so voluptuous. I really couldn't resist it. Sorry."

Qiao Liangjin suddenly felt slightly disappointed. He didn't know why, could it be that the man in his heart shouldn't be acting this way?

The man sitting on the ground seemed to have noticed Qiao Liangjin's disappointment. He stood up, wiped the blood off his nose and said, "It's very dangerous here. Are you not afraid by yourself this late at night?"

When he stood in front of Qiao Liangjin, she raised her head to look at his face, only to realize that he really was very tall. The person in her dreams seemed to be this tall as well …

The man stood in front of Qiao Liangjin and lowered his head to look at her smooth, jade-like face. He laughed softly and said, "You look so pretty."

Qiao Liangjin's heart seemed to be attracted by this small whisper, her slender fingers unconsciously climbed onto the man's face, and her eyes were a little lost as she asked: "Is the person in the dream you?" Why do you sigh? "

The man slightly frowned, he did not seem to understand the meaning behind Qiao Liangjin's words. The smile on his face disappeared, and his eyes that were as black as ink stared at Qiao Liangjin.

The sea breeze blew between the two of them, messing up Qiao Liangjin's long hair.

The man raised his head and tucked the hair on Qiao Liangjin's face behind his ear. He sighed softly.

At this moment, Qiao Liangjin's entire body trembled. She was so familiar with this movement, she had heard this voice countless times in her dreams. She, who was usually as cold as snow, actually impulsively hugged the man's waist.

"Clean it up, I miss you." She murmured softly.

Ning Ying, who was taking care of Qiao Liangjin, was originally dozing off by his side. Hearing Qiao Liangjin's words, he suddenly opened his eyes wide and stared straight at Qiao Liangjin, who was still sleeping.

She said it, she said it, what she cared about was clearing up.

Ning Ying's face suddenly turned pale, and a pain began throbbing from the depths of his heart.

He took out a silver needle and placed it on top of Qiao Liangjin's head. The light in his eyes deepened as if he was hesitating, and he lowered his head to look at Qiao Liangjin's lips which were as red as a cherry.

With a moan, Qiao Liangjin slowly opened his eyes. It took a long time for his gaze to focus together. Seeing the stamp of Ning, Qiao Liangjin smiled faintly. "It's you."

Ning Xi nodded with a faint smile and pulled out the silver needle from Qiao Liangjin's forehead. She gently asked, "How do you feel?"

With the help of Ning Ying, Qiao Liangjin sat up and stretched his body. Smiling, he said, "I slept very well. It's just that I kept dreaming. I really had a good rest."

Zi Yan pushed the door open and came in with dinner. Seeing Qiao Liangjin chatting with Ning Ying, she was elated and almost didn't know how to walk. She hurriedly put down the plate in her hands and said, "Thank you, Prince Ning, Miss, you're finally awake!"

Qiao Liangjin nodded with an apologetic smile and said, "It's been hard on you all. You have to work day and night for me. Oh right, where's Yu Sheng?"

Zi Yan heard that Qiao Lianjin was going to recruit Yu Sheng, so she immediately turned around and ran to the door. She stood there without a care and shouted loudly, "Yu Sheng, Hong Chen, Bai, Miss Kuan, you've awoken."

Not long later, a kid in a apron, holding a small leopard, rushed into the room. He placed the little leopard in his hand on Qiao Liangjin's leg and pinched Qiao Liangjin's face with his small hands.

Qiao Liangjin pointed at Yu Sheng's forehead and pushed him away, saying, "It's not like we haven't seen each other in a few hundred years. What do you look like?"

"Hmph. If you die, the contract between you and I will be dissolved. I really want you to die." Yu Sheng said venomously.

Qiao Liangjin made a face and said, "I'm lucky enough that I won't die."

Red Dust wobbled over to Qiao Liangjin's bedside, glanced at her and frowned, "I found something. You can take a shower later, it's so smelly."

Qiao Liangjin carelessly smelled the scent on his sleeve, stuck out his tongue, and laughed: "Yeah, I also smell the stench, it seems to be the smell of that python I killed that day …" At this point, Qiao Liangjin suddenly felt a headache. It was as if she had forgotten something and wanted to crawl out.

When Ning Ying saw Qiao Liangjin, she was startled. Suddenly, she lowered her head and looked like she had a headache. She hurriedly said to the people who came in, "Your young miss has just woken up. She might still need more rest. You guys can leave first."

Zi Yan looked at Qiao Liangjin with worry and could only leave the room with everyone.

Qiao Liangjin gently rubbed his temples and said depressingly, "It seems like something is going to come out of my head. Aiya, could it be the parasite from that snake?"

"What is a parasite?" Ning Ying asked.

Qiao Liangjin laughed and leaned against the pillow behind him. He snapped his fingers and said, "Parasites are creatures that can only survive by relying on others. Perhaps my brain has already drilled into it, otherwise why would my head be so painful?"

Ning Ying smiled lightly and passed a white jade bowl filled with thick medicinal liquid to Qiao Liangjin.

With a bitter face, Qiao Liangjin asked, "It looks like it's going to be tough. Can't you make me some pills to swallow?"

"No." Ning Ying's answer was also straightforward.

Qiao Liangjin drank all the juice in the white jade bowl as if he was eating poison. He wiped his lips with his sleeve and passed the bowl to Ning Ying, "Alright, I want to take a bath now. Call Ziyan in."

Ning Xi nodded and left the room.

The purple smoke neatly prepared Qiao Liangjin's bath water, then put something that looked like a pink crystal into the water.

Qiao Liangjin looked at the pink crystal and asked curiously: "What is that?"

Zi Yan shook her head and replied, "I don't know. Hong Chen went out to look for it. I heard it can completely remove the snake venom on your body."

Qiao Liangjin was overjoyed. After this illness, she discovered that her nose seemed to be abnormally sensitive. As she smelled the fishy smell coming from her body, she was on the verge of vomiting.

He unhesitatingly took off all his clothes and stepped into the bath barrel. The warm water made her entire body relax. The pink crystal-like object started to emit a faint fragrance.

Qiao Liangjin bent over beside the bath barrel, looking at the purple smoke that was busy preparing Qiao Liangjin's clothes, and said, "I have a very strange feeling, I feel like Ning Gun did something to my body."
