Morning Star

Chapter 282 I'll Wait for You

Chi Feng glanced at him with disdain: "Looking at your brain wrapped in a cerebellum, I know that you are ignorant of my Moltres clan. How can my flying speed be compared with your Demon Realm Pterosaur Flying Cavalry?"

"The brain wraps the cerebellum? What does that mean?" Fang Hao ignored the latter part of the sentence and asked about the former part.

Because these were the words Chujiu had used to scold Chifeng, and Chifeng later understood what they meant, so now it was just right to use them to scold Fang Hao.

Mo Xinglan naturally understood.

Seeing that he didn't understand, Chi Feng became proud and said, "With your little brain that's the size of your toes, you won't understand even if I tell you."

Fang Hao understood what he heard now, and glared at it angrily: "You stupid bird, how dare you scold me?"

"You are stupid. Your cerebellum is underdeveloped and your brain is completely underdeveloped." Chi Feng retorted, "I have a name. My name is Chi Feng."

After saying this, it hummed proudly.

Little Pomegranate had been paying attention to the conversation between Fang Hao and Chi Feng, and asked in confusion: "What does cerebellar hypoplasia mean? The brain is completely underdeveloped?"

"Uh..." Fang Hao didn't understand either, but he could tell it was a curse.

In the excitement, I forgot that I was holding a child in my arms.

He looked at Chi Feng with anger. It was all this stupid bird's fault.

Chi Feng had no awareness of this, but was just too lazy to answer.

Amid the quarrel between the man and the bird, several people came to the village meeting hall.

The great elder sent someone to call several important people in the village to the meeting hall.

The commotion was quite loud, and many onlookers followed behind them. The younger ones stood upright outside the meeting hall, and the children hid aside and watched with curiosity.

……

In the Demon Palace's bedroom, Chujiu woke up slowly and habitually used his hand to feel the temperature of the bed sheet beside him.

It's so cool that it doesn't look like anyone has slept here.

I sat down and walked towards the door without even putting on my shoes. As soon as I opened the door, I was shivering in the cold wind that blew in.

"Ay Ya I gi!"

After taking a deep breath, he quickly closed the door and ran back to the bed. He put on a thicker set of clothes and a thick cloak, with only his fair little face showing through the fur collar of the cloak. He put on his shoes and walked out of the room.

"Miss Chu." The maid standing by the door bowed slightly and said respectfully.

"Yeah." Chujiu looked at her and nodded. "What's your name?"

"Miss Chu, my name is Shi Yuan." Shi Yuan answered respectfully.

Chujiu nodded.

Shiyuan, ten yuan, why not call it a hundred yuan or a thousand yuan?

He glanced at the sky in confusion.

It was almost dark and snowflakes were still falling.

She was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that she slept so late. It was actually snowing.

This was the first time she saw snow since she came to this world.

The weather in Hualing is really punctual. When the season comes, we do what is in season.

Spring brings warmth and flowers, summer brings lush growth, autumn brings coolness and falling leaves, and winter brings cold and snow.

Suddenly she felt empty around her and asked Shi Yuan, "Where is your Lord? When did he leave?"

Shi Yuan recalled: "The Lord has been gone for almost two hours. He didn't say where he went, but just told me to guard here and not let anyone in. If you are hungry after you wake up, you can eat first, and you don't have to wait for him."

Chujiu paused and felt unhappy, but didn't say anything.

After waiting for a while, he felt really hungry, so he asked Shi Yuan to ask someone to bring the food to the dining hall in the bedroom.

After a moment, she sat at the dining table with a sullen face and lowered eyes. Looking at the dishes on the table in front of her, she suddenly lost her appetite.

She picked up the chopsticks and put them down again, pursed her lips, put her hands on her legs and stared blankly.

Shi Yuan saw Chu Jiu sitting there blankly without eating, thinking that maybe it was because the master was not there and was waiting for the master to come back. So he stepped forward and reminded her: "Miss Chu, the master told you to eat first, you don't have to wait for the master."

"..."

She remained motionless in a daze, as if she had heard nothing.

Seeing that persuasion was useless, Shi Yuan stopped talking and just stood aside silently.

Time passed slowly, the sky outside became darker and darker, and the snow gradually became heavier. The temperature in the dining hall was so low that it felt like being in a cold cave. It was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

An hour later Mo Xinglan came back. When he learned that Chujiu was in the dining hall, he went straight to the dining hall without thinking.

As soon as I entered the door, I noticed a cool breeze in the air.

He looked at Chujiu who was sitting motionless at the table, and then looked at the food on the table.

In winter, warm food will emit wisps of hot smoke, but at this time, no smoke was coming out of the food. I knew she must have been waiting for a long time.

He had a bad feeling in his heart.

He swallowed guiltily, walked slowly to Chujiu and whispered, "Didn't I tell you... to eat first?"

"Have you eaten?" She asked instead of answering. Her voice was calm and emotionless. The temperature in the air became even colder after she said these three words.

Shi Yuan shuddered secretly in his heart.

I really want to leave this troubled place as soon as possible.

Mo Xinglan raised his lips but didn't utter a word.

He had eaten. He didn't want to stay in Caolian Valley to eat, but those old guys insisted on dragging him, saying they had something to discuss with him. He remembered that he had told Shi Yuan to eat first after she woke up before leaving, so he agreed. But he didn't expect that he would make her angry now.

After not getting an answer for a long time, Chujiu's drooping eyelashes trembled slightly, and he raised his eyes and glanced at him lightly.

Just this one glance made his heart tremble. He clenched his hands hanging at his sides tightly and bit his lower lip.

He hesitated and said, "Didn't I tell Shi Yuan... that you don't have to wait for me?"

As he said this, he looked towards Shi Yan who was standing beside him with his head bowed.

When Shi Yuan heard her name being mentioned, her eyebrows jumped, and she immediately knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "Slave, slave..."

"It's me who wants to wait for you, you don't have to put the blame on her." Chujiu interrupted Shi Yuan.

Then he looked at Shi Yuan who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Who told you to kneel? Get up."

Without Mo Xinglan's order, Shi Yuan didn't dare to move. He just knelt there with his head down, feeling even more uneasy.

Chujiu finally understood, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a pair of eyes that seemed to want to eat people.

Mo Xinglan's heart trembled when he saw this. He glanced at Shi Yuan but ignored him. Instead, he refuted Chu Jiu's words unwillingly: "I didn't..."

Before he finished speaking, Chujiu stood up, walked around him and went out the door without looking back.

His expression froze, and he turned around to look at her back as she walked away: "Where are you going?"

"...sleep." She didn't want to answer him, but her heart suddenly softened.

After a while, the two returned to the bedroom one after the other.

Mo Xinglan closed the door after entering.

Chujiu took off his shoes and untied his cape and threw them on the ground. He didn't take off his coat, nor did he brush off the snowflakes on his head. He climbed onto the bed, pulled the quilt over himself, and lay on his side, leaving his back to him.
