Chapter 9 : I Can’t Wait to Take You Into My Room

Xue Qingyin had fulfilled her wish and brought the giant snake to the outskirts of the city.

To the south of the city outskirts, there was a wide riverbank, almost without any trees, making it an ideal place for flying kites.

By the time Xue Qingyin arrived, many carriages were already parked nearby.

It seemed that many young masters and young ladies had come out to play.

The young ladies mostly held butterflies or birds in their hands, each in different colors.

The young masters, on the other hand, were more likely to hold kites shaped like eagles, swallows, or goldfish.

None of them had a kite as large as hers!

And hers was definitely the most impressive!

Xue Qingyin grabbed the head of the kite and jumped off the carriage, not forgetting to turn back and tell He Songning, “Big Brother, hold the tail for me.”

He Songning felt a faint regret rise in his heart.

But unfortunately, he wasn’t the kind of person to walk back on his decision.

He kept a straight face, holding the tail of the kite, and got off the carriage as well.

And then…

This bizarre scene immediately caught the attention of everyone around.

“Is that…?”

“That’s Xue Qingyin.”

“What? It’s her? It’s been a while since we’ve seen her, but… she looks different.”

“Yes, it’s definitely her. That’s her older brother, Xue Ning.”

“Has she gone crazy? Bringing such a large and ugly kite?”

“Why is Xue Gongzi her older brother?”

Nearby, some familiar girls were whispering to each other.

They all seemed to dislike Xue Qingyin very much.

As for He Songning, they liked him much more!

Xue Qingyin, however, didn’t care what others thought. She cheerfully ran around, preparing to fly her kite.

“Big Brother, if I say let go, you let go!” she called.

He Songning didn’t want to say anything.

Soon, He Songning realized that he had overestimated Xue Qingyin.

It wasn’t just a problem of waiting for the King of Wei to arrive and seeing her releasing a giant snake. The real issue was that Xue Qingyin couldn’t get the kite to fly at all.

She was both clumsy and playful.

So, He Songning had no choice but to accompany her in running around.

They ran around again and again.

He was utterly embarrassed, and after a while, He Songning didn’t want to speak anymore.

Luckily, Xue Qingyin’s stamina didn’t allow her to keep up this act. Panting lightly, she sat down on the ground. “I… can’t run anymore…”

He Songning: “Then rest.”

Xue Qingyin shook her head. “If I don’t see it take off, how can I feel at ease?”

So?

He Songning suddenly had a bad premonition.

Xue Qingyin’s eyes sparkled, her sweat making her face even more radiant, highlighting her beauty.

With a light blink, it even seemed as though her lashes were curled.

She looked at him. “Big Brother, you do it. You’re so capable, there’s nothing you can’t do.”

He Songning: “…”

“Big Brother, can’t you do it either?” Xue Qingyin gave him a pitiful look.

He Songning turned around and took the kite again.

Xue Qingyin settled comfortably on the ground, ordering her maid to bring some water and the snacks she had bought from the stalls earlier.

And she began eating.

He Songning, being quite skilled, eventually managed to launch the kite. He swiftly ran with it.

Sigh, flying a kite himself was fine, but watching someone else struggle to launch it was more fun.

Xue Qingyin munched on the snack, making crisp, tiny sounds.

It was delicious.

Meanwhile, the King of Xuan arrived at the outskirts of the city.

His deputy looked up and said excitedly, “This is interesting. This year, someone is even flying a giant snake as a kite.”

In the eyes of these warriors, butterflies, flowers, birds, and fish were too trivial.

Every year, they saw the same things, and it was getting boring.

But a giant snake? This was the first time they’d seen that!

Looking up at it, it was indeed impressive!

“We don’t even have a kite, should we just sit and watch?” another person asked.

The deputy quickly turned to King Xuan. “Your Highness, may we borrow that snake to play with?”

“Go on,” the King replied.

“Understood.”

When they arrived at the grassy bank by the river, the young ladies and masters fell silent one by one.

“Who’s here?”

“Such a strong killing intent.”

“It’s… it’s King Xuan!”

Everyone stopped playing and hurriedly went to greet him.

The deputy made his way to the giant snake while grabbing a noble young man and asking, “Who brought this person?”

“It’s Xue Shilang’s son.”

“Oh, so the snake is his.”

“Actually… it’s his sister who brought it.”

The deputy was stunned. “Huh? A girl brought it?”

“Yes. She’s sitting over there…”

The deputy looked over.

The girl was sitting on the ground, her pomegranate-red skirt spread out like a blooming flower.

From just the side of her face, she was already an extraordinary beauty, one that could not easily be found in the world.

The deputy hesitated. In the past, on the battlefield, he had been so majestic, but today, he didn’t even dare to take another step forward.

After hesitating for a long time, he eventually walked away in embarrassment.

The people around King Xuan were dismissed.

When the others saw the deputy returning, they quickly asked, “Why did you come back?”

“That kite was brought by a girl, how could I borrow it?” The deputy’s face turned red as he spoke.

“A girl? What girl? Why is your face so red? Oh, it must be a beauty!” someone teased.

“Don’t joke about her,” the deputy retorted. “That’s Xue Shilang’s daughter. Don’t judge me, there are hardly any women in the military camp—only two, and they’re the ones who cook. If it were you all, would you have the guts to borrow it? Wouldn’t you be embarrassed?”

King Xuan, who had been indifferent, suddenly spoke: “Is she the daughter of the Xue family?”

“Yes, Your Highness. It’s Xue Shilang’s daughter.”

Only then did King Xuan shift his gaze over.

It was indeed her.

Today, she had changed into a new outfit, and now she looked even more like the flower pinned in her hair.

But soon, more people gathered around her.

The King of Wei arrived.

At first, the King of Wei noticed the kite, then He Songning, and of course, Xue Qingyin too.

He saw only her back.

Even just her back was enough to outline a graceful figure.

The King of Wei walked straight over. “Miss Xue?”

Xue Qingyin turned around…

She knew it! Why had she even bothered bringing a kite here?

“King Wei?” Xue Qingyin spoke first, then slowly stood up to offer her greeting.

The King of Wei quickly said, “No need for formalities, just stay seated.”

Xue Qingyin casually sat back down, not intending to salute anyway.

But her maid and attendants were not the same. They quickly changed their expressions and hurried to bow.

Why was King Wei suddenly standing in front of their young mistress?

At this moment, the King of Wei couldn’t tear his eyes away from Xue Qingyin’s face. He was almost entranced.

Finally, he had seen her!

Finally!

The King of Wei’s mother was a beloved concubine in the palace. When she was young, she had been a stunning beauty. Having grown up with his mother, the King of Wei had become quite picky, especially with the beautiful women in his own palace.

But this… was different. So different!

The young girl before him had an enchanting beauty that was unlike anything he had ever seen.

To others, her beauty might not be so apparent, but he could tell—her alluring appearance was a natural gift.

If only he could take her into his room right away!

Xue Qingyin, however, was left stunned.

Why wasn’t he saying anything?

She met his gaze.

My goodness, what a pervert!
