Murong Xingchens clinic was still open, but there were fewer patients than before. With the stormy weather, there werent many people around.
This was because the construction of houses had already provided a significant degree of protection for the poor, and most of the people used to co for treatnt because they were freezing. Now, they have a warm shelter, so naturally, there are fewer people around.
Qi Bei braved the snow and arrived outside the clinic. As he looked up, he saw Murong Xingchen standing at the window on the second floor, looking at him.
Qi Bei smiled at her, and in a flash, he appeared at the second floor window and knocked on the windowpane.
Murong Xingchen approached and opened the window as Qi Bei jumped in, carrying a cold breeze with him.
Xingchen, havent seen you in two days, Ive missed you, Qi Bei said, grabbing her silky hand wearing black gloves.
Mourong Xingchen pulled back her hand and said lightly, If youre not going to talk seriously, please leave Jump out from here.
Jump out?
Qi Bei laughed happily, as if he had heard sothing very funny.
What are you laughing at? Murong Xingchens eyes showed a hint of annoyance.
Qi Bei stopped laughing, bent down and looked deeply into her beautiful eyes.
As Qi Beis intense gaze locked onto her, Murong Xingchens eyes contracted in response, as though they had been seared by a scorching heat. Her wheelchair moved back slightly, her eyes glistening, as if she wanted to avoid Qi Beis gaze, but she seed to be stuck in it.
Hehe, Xingchen, youre shy, really shy Qi Bei laughed again, as if he had discovered sothing incredible.
Murong Xingchen beca angry with embarrassnt and used a small spatial distortion spell to play a trick on Qi Bei. The sound of his laughter was distorted, as if a magnetic tape recorder suddenly broke.
Qi Bei held his face with both hands and rubbed it vigorously. This girl is a genius. She can use space magic to ss with people like this.
Murong Xingchen, youve angered , Qi Bei said, approaching her with a grin. She flashed out of the way and teleported away.
Can you escape from the palm of Buddhas hand? Qi Bei moved to the side and picked up Murong Xingchen, who had just appeared beside him, from her wheelchair.
She scread and said in anger, Let go!
Nope. Qi Bei was shaless and carried Murong Xingchen back to the wheelchair.
However, as soon as Qi Beis butt touched the wheelchair, it imdiately rolled back, and he fell to the ground.
The sound of silver bell-like laughter echoed, and Murong Xingchen couldnt help but laugh out loud. Her beautiful eyes curved like a silver moon.
Youre laughing Qi Bei held onto the wall as he stood up from the ground, staring at her in a daze.
Murong Xingchens laughter abruptly stopped, as if she was a bit surprised that she had actually laughed out loud just now.
I wasnt talking about you, you can keep laughing, Qi Bei hurriedly said. He felt that making this detached woman laugh was already a great achievent for him.
Murong Xingchen stared at Qi Bei, no longer laughing, but tears welled up in her beautiful eyes.
Whats going on? Why is she crying again when she was just so happy?
Even though Qi Bei had a lot of experience and didnt consider himself a beginner anymore, wons thoughts were sotis really hard to understand.
Dont cry, its my fault Qi Bei was a bit flustered. He had made her cry on their first eting, and this ti he was trying to make her laugh, and while she did laugh, she still ended up crying?
Murong Xingchen didnt let the tears fall, but held them back. She asked, What did you do wrong?
I I shouldnt have made you laugh, Qi Bei replied innocently.
With a gentle tap of her small hand, Murong Xingchen playfully punched Qi Beis chest before resting her face, still veiled, against his torso in a cat-like manner.
Qi Beis broad chest rose and fell with each steady heartbeat, bringing her a sense of serenity and security that she had never known was possible.
Soone who could make her cry, make her laugh, and a steady embrace for her to lean in, this seed to be a scene that had appeared in her dreams before.
Tell , what do you want from ? After a long while, Murong Xingchen opened her eyes, as if she had just woken up from a beautiful dream.
Cant I co to see you if theres nothing I want? Qi Bei said a bit guiltily.
Murong Xingchen got up from Qi Beis arms and sat back in her wheelchair. She didnt speak, just looked at him.
Qi Bei shrugged and said, Okay, although I do have sothing I want to ask for your help with, I also really just wanted to see you.
Speak, Murong Xingchen said calmly.
Seeing that she had once again protected herself with thick disguises, Qi Bei felt a bit helpless.
I want to borrow a few strands of your hair, Qi Bei said.
Murong Xingchen appeared slightly surprised, then reached up and took off her headscarf, revealing a cascade of silver hair.
A spatial blade flashed, and a small clump of silver hair fell from her head. She caught it with her hand, put it in a bottle, and threw it to Qi Bei.
If you have nothing else to do, you can leave. I want to rest for a bit, Murong Xingchen said calmly with her back to Qi Bei.
Qi Bei opened his mouth to say sothing, but then closed it again. He vanished from the window with a flash and the window slamd shut with a bang. The curtains were then drawn up.
Qi Bei stood outside the small building, staring at the window for a while before turning and disappearing into the wind and snow.
Just after he turned around, a corner of the curtain was lifted, and a pair of star-like eyes watched his back for a long, long ti
When Qi Bei returned to the City Lords mansion, he found that the three elf girls, Yan Ling, Ru Feng, and Piao Xue, had also arrived.
I heard that youre planning a surprise attack on the city of Dragon-n Tribe. Take us with you, Yan Ling said.
You should stay here and take care of your Star Master. She cant do without you, Qi Bei replied.
Okay, how about Ru Feng and Piao Xue stay here, and Ill go with you, Yan Ling insisted.
After thinking about it for a mont, Qi Bei nodded in agreent.
Lei Ming said you just went to ask the Star Master for help. What did you need? Ru Feng asked.
Qi Bei took out a bottle given to him by Murong Xingchen. The bottle was transparent, and inside was a lock of silver hair.
Is this the Star Masters hair?
The faces of the three elf girls beca sowhat strange.
Your Star Masters hair is also extrely poisonous. Ill mix it with water to make poison, and then pour it on the supply of food and forage for the Orc army, Qi Bei smiled wickedly. Not only would it destroy their supplies, but if they ingested it, he could easily wipe out the entire army without exerting any effort.
Good idea but do you know what it ans for an elf girl to cut her hair and give it to a man? Yan Ling asked.
Huh? Does it have a special aning? Qi Bei asked.
It ans she is entrusting her soul to this man. Even in the elf tribe, when two people fall in love, it is rare for an elf girl to cut her hair for her lover, Yan Ling said, one word at a ti.
Qi Bei was dumbfounded. When he ca back to his senses, he quickly put the bottle containing Murong Xingchens hair into his spatial ring.
Well, when it cos to poisoning, what poison is hard to find? Why bother with overkill? He made up his mind that he would keep these strands of hair safe all his life.
