“Let me explain!”
Feng Qing’an was ready to justify his sudden departure yesterday.
“Go ahead, if you can’t make that clear, I’m not going back with you!” The young girl, hands on her hips, glared at Feng Qing’an, with no trace of decorum.
“Actually, I managed to enter the underworld yesterday because of a random chance. I still don’t understand how I got there. When I opened my eyes, I was in the underworld. After I got there, I heard your singing. I followed the voice and saw a girl as beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal singing there!” Feng Qing’an narrated the truth, with sincere tone and clear eyes.
“And today…”
The girl’s fierce aura started to soften.
“Today, I’ve been looking for a way to enter the underworld again, to meet you again!”
Feng Qing’an pointed in the direction of the departing Black Mountain, “If you hadn’t suddenly shown up, I would have ridden my mount over to you!”
“So that’s how it was.”
Upon hearing Feng Qing’an’s explanation, the girl’s fierce aura vanished completely. Her formerly fierce eyes became gentle and looked like tranquil moonlit water rippling gently.
“So, do you forgive me?”
Seizing the opportunity, Feng Qing’an grabbed the girl’s white, slender wrist.
“Hmm!”
The girl hesitated for a moment, then nodded. “So you’re not angry with me anymore?” Feng Qing’an seems to be quite nervous. “Not anymore!”
The girl shook her head hastily. “Let’s go back home with me, then!”
“Okay!”
The girl agreed without any hesitation.
She didn’t think there was anything wrong with entering a man’s house late at night because she had no concept related to it, she did not belong to the human world.
“Let’s go!”
Excitedly Feng Qingan pulled the girl towards his home, Meanwhile, by the roadside, under a short bush, an old face full of wrinkles poked out, staring at the matching young man and woman ahead, his wrinkled old face full of distress and helplessness.
“Sigh!”
Ordinarily, he should be stepping out right now, stopping the obviously non-human girl from entering the village.
However, the earth-god glanced in the direction of the departing Night Travelling God and very understandingly retracted his head back into the earth,
“When will my transfer order finally come?”
A sigh of despair dissipated with the wind. The already unnoticeable godly aura completely vanished.
At this moment, in front of the Feng family’s residence, the girl looked up at the grandeur of the closed gate, her eyes sparkling. She couldn’t help but exclaim,
“It’s so beautiful!”
Obviously, the girl could also see the impressive righteous energy. Just as Feng Qing’an had expected, she disregarded it, simply thinking that the magnificent golden light was pleasing to the eye.
“Beautiful, isn’t it?”
At this moment, Feng Qing’an, watching the girl, heaved a sigh of relief and with a smile extended another invitation,
“This light is flowing from my room. It’s even better inside!” “Really?”
“Of course! I wouldn’t lie to you. Come on, let’s go inside!”
Then, Feng Qing’an, being the gentleman, demonstrated how to get in — his body agile like a monkey, without any running start, he easily leaped over the courtyard wall.
He couldn’t possibly open the main gate to welcome the girl in this late at night. That kind of commotion would be too noisy, his parents might be awakened. And if they saw the girl, how would he explain?
“Dad, mom… I’ve brought your daughter-in-law home?”
Just thinking about this scenario, Feng Qing’an felt a headache. Who brings home their maiden in the middle of the night? She could only be someone questionable if she was brought home.
However, he couldn’t roam around the village with the girl in the middle of the night either, bringing her back to his room seemed to be a good choice. The girl obviously didn’t care about the many customs and peculiarities of the human world. She knew nothing about these, and seeing Feng Qing’an jump over the wall into the courtyard, she imitated him. Her body was light as a swallow. With a light step, she cleared the tall wall.
Once she was in the yard and started to curiously inspect everything around her, she found this unfamiliar place quite interesting, much more so than the deadly silent Soul Cleansing Spring.
Cluck, cluck!
The vibrantly feathered rooster was still wandering around the courtyard, looking dim-witted. Seeing Feng Qing’an hopping the wall into the house in the middle of the night didn’t seem to instigate a reaction.
However, when the girl floated in from the outside, the magnificent rooster’s body clearly jerked, and then it resumed pecking around on the ground like nothing had happened.
What’s it got to do with it!
It’s just a bug-pecking chicken!
It didn’t see anything!
It didn’t know anything!
While the girl was hopping over the wall into the courtyard, she felt a gaze on her. However, when she looked over, all she saw was a silly-looking chicken. She didn’t observe it for long, and Feng Qing’an quickly pulled her into the room.
Then, she saw the source of the golden light — the books that Feng Qing’an had placed on the bookshelf. These books, which appeared of poor quality to ordinary people’s eyes, were completely different in the girl’s eyes.
“What is this?”
The girl picked up one book. But when she opened it, she looked at Feng Qing’an with a puzzled expression.
“You can’t understand? You can’t read?”
Feng Qing’an immediately came to this realization. But very quickly, his face lit up with excitement and his eyes were eager.
“I can teach you!”
“What is ‘reading’?”
Despite the answer, the girl was still confused. She didn’t understand what those squarish things on the paper, emanating light, were. She had never come across anything like that in the underworld.
“What you see right now is it.”
Feng Qing’an, smiling, responded. After all, he did not want to cause a ruckus in his own room.
Originally, he was pondering on what to do to get a little closer to the girl, but now it seemed that he finally found something meaningful to do.
“Reading!”
The girl stroked the page of the book with her slender jade fingertip,
“Can you teach me?”
“Yes!”
Feng Qing’an nodded. Suddenly, he remembered,
“We’ve gotten so familiar with each other, and you still haven’t told me your name!”
“My name?”
“You asked my name, and I answered. So, you should also tell me your name!”
Feng Qing’an stared at the girl.
“My sister calls me Nange. Feng Qing’an, you can also call me that!”
“Nange, such a lovely name!”
Feng Qing’an praised, but his heart slightly sank with a sense of impending crisis.
“Sister! ”
It was the second time the girl standing in front of him had mentioned that.
If Nange, who was the younger sister, had such potential, then what kind of existence would the sister she unintentionally revealed affectionate and close ties with be?
Feng Qing’an thought that this sister’s potential might not be like Nange’s. Maybe her potential was already fully realized.
If that was the case, then she would be a being equivalent to the Mountain god of the Green Python Mountain. Thinking about this, Feng Qing’an couldn’t help but feel chills running down his spine..
