"Huxin, my beautiful lady, your temper seems to be getting worse... Is it because you haven't seen me all day and miss me?" Xuan Yuan Ling smirked with a mischievous smile, dodging the cups and plates thrown by Huxin that ended up sliding in front of her.
Seeing that there were no more cups or plates to throw, Huxin ignored Xuan Yuan Ling and lowered her head to grab a plate of snacks and started eating.
"Huxin?" Xuan Yuan Ling noticed Huxin wasn't speaking and immediately sat down beside her.
In front of Huxin, there were still four plates of snacks and a roasted chicken.
"Huxin Sister, you have quite an appetite," Xuan Yuan Ling said as he reached out to grab the roasted chicken.
"If you want to eat, go buy your own!" Huxin replied coldly, then tore off a chicken wing from the roasted chicken and took a big bite.
Watching her eat so freely left Xuan Yuan Ling dumbfounded.
This girl... actually has such a bold and special side.
"Girl, you can't finish this whole roasted chicken."
"Then wait until I’m done before you eat," Huxin retorted without backing down.
"Then I'll just order one for myself."
"This is my room; if you want to eat, go outside. Here, you can only watch me eat," Huxin said coldly, her face showing no extra expression.
Xuan Yuan Ling was left speechless, unable to leave or stay. Naturally, he couldn't bear to leave. If he couldn't eat, then he would just watch.
"Alright then, I'll wait until you're finished before I eat," Xuan Yuan Ling said, tilting his head with his chin resting on his hand, looking at Huxin with an adorable expression. His usual mischievous gaze now appeared quite innocent and cute.
Huxin quickly finished off a chicken wing and turned to look at the pitiful Xuan Yuan Ling. The corner of her mouth twitched as she pulled a chicken leg for him.
"Here, eat." After all, Xuan Yuan Ling had helped him in some way, so he deserved a chicken wing.
"Girl, I like chicken wings. Just like you, one for you and one for me; we make a perfect pair!" Xuan Yuan Ling was trying to take advantage of the situation.
"I'll give you one chance. Eat it or not? No picking and choosing!" Huxin said as she started to take the chicken leg back. Xuan Yuan Ling practically jumped up to grab the chicken leg, not even bothering to wipe his hands as he began to eat heartily.
"I'm eating! I'm eating! If you don't let me pick, I'll eat whatever you give me, even the chicken butt."
"Don't worry, I won't give you anything else. Once you're done with that chicken butt, you can leave!" Huxin said while eating and wiping off her facial disguise, revealing her originally delicate and clear face.
"Are you in a bad mood?" Xuan Yuan Ling glanced at Huxin, feeling that she seemed indifferent today, but her eyes were filled with a cold fierceness.
Her eyes were like Mo Tong's, shrouded in endless darkness, making them hard to read.
"Just eat your chicken leg; why so much nonsense!" Huxin snapped back, her hands greasy as she casually grabbed Xuan Yuan Ling's sleeve to wipe them off.
Xuan Yuan Ling stared blankly at her actions, his mouth and eyes twitching, but he showed no dissatisfaction and allowed her to wipe all the grease on his sleeve.
She had always been someone who kept others at a distance, especially women; anyone who wanted to get close to him was undoubtedly dreaming! No woman dared to have designs on him; they would all take a detour upon seeing him.
Looking at the yellow grease stain on his red sleeve, Xuan Yuan Ling felt a mix of amusement and exasperation.
"Alright, alright, I won't talk anymore." Xuan Yuan Ling could somewhat guess that the coldness in her eyes was due to the injured maid Qing Yan.
What is she doing here?
"Are you done eating?" Huxin wiped her hands clean and turned to give Xuan Yuan Ling a cold glance, showing an attitude of indifference towards him.
"No! I eat slowly." Xuan Yuan Ling shook the chicken leg in his hand, which only had bones left, with a nonchalant expression.
Even if he had eaten the bones, he wouldn't leave so early; it was a rare opportunity to be alone with Huxin.
Huxin felt a sense of speechlessness towards Xuan Yuan Ling.
Two bites to finish a chicken leg and he calls that eating slowly? Where's the slowness in that? If that were fast, would he have swallowed the whole roasted chicken in one bite?
Thinking this, Huxin quickly pulled the plate of roasted chicken closer to herself; she wasn't full yet and didn't want Xuan Yuan Ling to have any thoughts about it.
Seeing Huxin react this way made Xuan Yuan Ling feel both amused and helpless.
This girl... sometimes she seemed like a dark demon wandering in endless night, other times she was a mischievous girl acting spoiled, and sometimes she was simply so cute that he couldn't help but want to pull her into his arms.
However, Xuan Yuan Ling knew very well what the consequences would be if he held Huxin in his arms; it would be almost like having his limbs broken.
"Girl, can you tell me what you're doing here?" Xuan Yuan Ling squinted his eyes and looked seriously at Huxin.
Huxin's gaze darkened for a moment before she replied lightly, "Eating, drinking flower wine. Just wanted to experience the legendary brothel."
"You’re lying to me," Xuan Yuan Ling said with a tone of resignation.
"Yes! Knowing that you would deceive me and still asking so many questions, you deserve to be fooled!" Huxin spoke bluntly. Isn't this Xuan Yuan Ling the Rebellious Ancestor that everyone in the Vast Continent fears? How did he become an unshakeable piece of gum here?
"I like being deceived by you. I know why you are here! It is said that the backing of this brothel is the Ouyang Empress's family, you want..."
"Hah, does the Ouyang Family need me to take action? They are already falling apart and won't last a few more days." Huxin continued to eat meat heartily, her expression remaining calm and indifferent.
Xuan Yuan Ling's eyes flickered. He felt increasingly unable to see through Huxin; what exactly was this girl doing here?
While the two were sitting in the room, they suddenly heard a warm and elegant male voice from outside.
"Who occupied the rooms in Tianxiang Pavilion? How come there are people here earlier than this prince?" The warm voice fell, and without permission, the person pushed open the door to the room.
Jing Yushan, dressed in a royal blue long robe, caught sight of Huxin and Xuan Yuan Ling sitting inside. His eyes involuntarily flashed sharply for a moment, but the next second, he forced out a smile and stepped into the room.
His eyes maintained their usual gentle demeanor, but deep down, they were already turbulent.
"Huxin? What are you doing here? Do you know where this is? Coming here is simply reckless! Did he bring you here?"
Jing Yushan's expression was calm, feigning concern for Huxin, but that cool gaze could not escape Huxin's eyes.
She could see clearly who truly cared for her and who had ulterior motives. But even if someone was sincere towards her, so what? She Xia Huxin did not need it!
Huxin and Xuan Yuan Ling exchanged glances, both remaining silent. One lowered her head to gnaw on chicken wings while the other raised his head to chew on chicken bones, completely treating Jing Yushan as if he were transparent.
