Chapter 2612: Mysterious and Secretive

Long Yi and Zi Xia looked baffled. Weren’t the Prince and Princess Consort furious and ignoring each other?

Why does it sound like they had planned all this in advance?

Long Yi and Zi Xia exchanged glances, obviously still not catching on, unable to hear Long Rui’s shout.

Long Rui walked out of the room, turned his head to see Long Yi not following, and got angry: "Long Yi, are you deaf?"

Long Yi looked up, bewildered: "Huh?"

Long Rui’s expression instantly turned cold: "If you keep being so absent-minded, don’t come out with me anymore."

Long Yi: "Prince, I was wrong, I’ll be right there."

Long Rui huffed coldly and turned to leave.

Long Yi trailed behind, feet barely touching the ground.

Xuexue stood up and said, "Let’s go check it out too."

Xiao Jiu shouted excitedly, "Great, awesome, let’s go watch the ugly creature do shameless things!"

Xuexue and Zi Xia immediately stopped in their tracks, giving it a strange look.

Xiao Jiu, standing on the table, kept retreating with its claws, screeching, "Why... why are you looking at me?"

"You’re too perverted," the two said in unison.

Xiao Jiu: "What... what does it have to do with me, I’m just going... to observe."

Zi Xia, never quite sure if this little bird was male or female, asked, "Xiao Jiu, are you male or female?"

Xiao Jiu screeched, "Not telling you, just not telling you."

Xuexue: "Zi Xia, don’t ask it anymore. Just look at its lecherous demeanor; it’s definitely a male."

Xiao Jiu was shocked and couldn’t help blurting out, "Master, how did you know?"

After speaking, it realized it had leaked a secret and immediately covered its beak with its wings.

After all this time, it turned out there was a male creature lurking around them, which was dangerous. Although it was a bird, it was unlike any other; it was a lewd bird.

Zi Xia suddenly seemed to remember something and turned to Xuexue, saying, "Miss, from now on when you bathe, I’ll guard the door, windows, and rafters to prevent this lewd bird from peeping."

Xuexue squinted her eyes dangerously, looking at Xiao Jiu, coldly asking, "Have you ever peeped at me?"

Xiao Jiu shivered all over and immediately shook its head intelligently: "No, no, don’t listen to this tigress’s nonsense, never happened, absolutely not."

It was a joke; even if it had happened, it could never admit it. If the big villain found out, its little bird life would surely be in danger. Plus, with the master’s grudge-holding nature, there’d be no good fruit to eat in the future. Not saying, not saying, can’t say.

Xuexue still had the matter of Gu Lingqiao on her mind, so she didn’t have much time to interrogate and took Zi Xia to the room on the east side.

............

Although Gu Lingqiao was dressed in men’s clothing, it was obvious her face was made up with makeup, appearing eccentric, neither male nor female, and her front was noticeably bulging; anyone with eyes could see she was a girl.

Gu Lingqiao sat in the room, absent-minded, looking around, and inadvertently noticed a small piece of glass on the door, through which her shadow could be reflected. She then walked over with steps as graceful as Lianhua and pursed her red lips at the reflection, oh, the reflection in the mirror was so beautiful, surely Brother Kong would love it when he saw it.

Just as Gu Lingqiao was indulging in self-admiration, something unexpected happened.

The door was suddenly pushed open forcefully from the outside...

"Bam...!"

Gu Lingqiao was pitifully hit, her pursed red lips flattened at once, and she was in such pain she couldn’t speak.

Entering was a man seven feet tall, dressed in a dark blue robe. Curiously, although it was obviously deep into the night, this person still wore a conical hat on his head, appearing mysteriously.
