Chapter 42 Throwing Himself into Her Arms
Chapter 42 Throwing Himself into Her Arms
Anping County —
Xia Mo ran for a short while and stopped outside Anping County.
She first took out a fine cotton cloth to cover her face, and then entered Anping County at a speed only slightly faster than a normal person.
There were also yamen runners standing guard at the gate of Anping County.
The two constables were sitting together drinking tea and chatting, completely oblivious to the people coming and going at the county gate.
With light steps, Xia Mo, guided by the information transmitted through her divine sense, walked ahead to the street that "Young Master Wei" and his subordinate Jiang Feng would inevitably pass by, and waited there.
"Young Master Wei the Third" and his subordinate Jiang Feng have arrived.
As summer drew to a close, she immediately adopted the adorable, bouncy demeanor of a little girl. She deliberately avoided looking at the people in front of her, instead focusing on the vendors on either side, as if her attention was being drawn to the stalls.
She wasn't looking where she was going and bumped into someone. Isn't that perfectly reasonable?
As for who it hits...
Xia Mo rushed towards "Young Master Wei" with a clear goal in mind.
Huangfu Qian, who was mistaken for "Young Master Wei San", noticed a little girl bumping into him and dodged her.
Huangfu Qian was confident in his own agility; as long as he didn't want the other person to bump into him, it was impossible for the other person to do so.
But Huangfu Qian did not expect that there was another special existence called Xia Mo.
Huangfu Qian dodged using his agile movements, but Xia Mo reacted even faster!
Xia Mo crashed precisely into Huangfu Qian's arms...
Huangfu Qian: "..."
Huangfu Qian was hit on the chest by Xia Mo's head. It didn't hurt, and it didn't seem like an assassination attempt. However, he decisively used his agile movements to retreat, and then...
Xia Mo was even faster; she had already grabbed Huangfu Qian's clothes, pretending to steady herself.
Huangfu Qian, who had been dodging from beginning to end but failed to dodge twice in a row, remained silent.
Huangfu Qian looked down at Xia Mo in his arms.
Huangfu Qian recognized Xia Mo at a glance.
Even now, in late summer, people are still wearing face masks!
A fleeting look of confusion crossed Huangfu Qian's sharp, eagle-like eyes, so quick it was almost impossible to catch.
Huangfu Qian simply stopped pushing her away, letting Xia Mo hold onto his clothes and snuggle in his arms.
He wanted to know what Xia Mo was up to this time.
In just a few breaths, passersby stopped to watch out of curiosity, and even the vendors on the side stopped doing business to stand up and watch.
Xia Mo pretended not to have recovered from the dizziness of bumping into someone and lingered on Huangfu Qianyi's clothes for a while longer.
Xia Mo was still looking down, but the cloth tied behind her head had come loose.
Xia Mo pretended to come to her senses from her dizziness and looked up.
She had designed this scene so that when she looked up, the face mask would slide down her beautiful facial lines, revealing her delicate features.
"Wow--"
The moment the face mask fell off at the end of summer, the onlookers and the vendors craning their necks to look all gasped in shock.
Xia Mo's face is flawless from every angle; she is breathtakingly beautiful from every perspective.
When Xia Mo looked up at Huangfu Qian, her eyes were filled with a soft, watery light. Her large, clear eyes, as if washed by water, had long eyelashes that fluttered. She was not only beautiful, but also had a touch of delicate fragility.
Looking directly at Xia Mo's exquisite and beautiful appearance, a flash of amazement crossed Huangfu Qian's eyes.
As Xia Mo stared into Huangfu Qian's eyes, she realized that there was no evil in them, only pure appreciation. She then realized that her plan to seduce him might be in vain.
As Xia Mo stepped back, realizing her face towel had slipped past, she quickly reached up to her neck and pulled it back.
"I'm sorry," Xia Mo said. Not only was she beautiful, but her voice was also sweet and pleasant, making those who heard it feel inexplicably happy.
Although the onlookers couldn't see Xia Mo's face anymore, they still enjoyed listening to her voice.
Xia Mo pretended to be a flustered little girl, and deliberately apologized with a nasal voice. She continued, "I will pay attention next time and won't not watch where I'm going. I'm really sorry for bumping into you. How about this, I'll treat you to tea as an apology, okay?"
Xia Mo stepped back, keeping an arm's length distance from Huangfu Qian. When she spoke to Huangfu Qian, she still had to tilt her head back.
Xia Mo stared straight at Huangfu Qian with her bright, clear eyes, her large eyes seeming to speak volumes, flashing with an obsidian-like light.
Jiang Feng, who was following Huangfu Qian, had anticipated that Huangfu Qian would refuse and was waiting for Huangfu Qian to refuse.
Huangfu Qian unexpectedly replied, "Okay."
Jiang Feng was so shocked he almost tripped and fell flat on his face.
His master doesn't seem like the type to casually accept invitations to tea from others!
Could it be that his master is possessed by an evil spirit?!
Jiang Feng curiously peeked at Xia Mo. He hadn't seen Xia Mo's face when her face mask fell off earlier, and even now, with the face mask still on, he still couldn't recognize her.
If Jiang Feng knew that Xia Mo was the Xia Mo his master had asked him to investigate, he might not be as shocked as he is now.
As summer drew to a close, her graceful steps, like lotus blossoms, led people to a nearby tea stall.
Some of the people who had just seen Xia Mo's appearance chose to leave, while others chose to follow behind her, eagerly waiting to see her face again.
It was expected that this would attract onlookers and those with malicious intentions, as was anticipated by the end of summer.
At the beginning of summer, she didn't immediately put on a temporary illusion spell on her face. She was worried that if "Young Master Wei" was someone who had evil intentions towards her appearance, wouldn't putting on an illusion spell on her face from the start be ineffective in seducing him?
Now...
Xia Mo was certain that "Young Master Wei the Third" wouldn't harbor any evil thoughts upon seeing her appearance, so she used her divine sense to temporarily cast an illusion on her face, ensuring that her face wouldn't appear bad in his eyes.
Xia Mo led Huangfu Qianluo to sit at the tea stall, and she took out two taels of silver and put it on the table.
Huangfu Qian awaited the next step at the end of summer.
Jiang Feng stared at his master in astonishment, finding it unbelievable.
This doesn't fit his master's personality at all!
"This two ounces is my apology to you. I'll go first and won't bother you any longer," Xia Mo waved her hand and said, "Drink up."
After Xia Mo finished speaking, she turned and left decisively, not at all like someone who wanted to pester her.
In fact, Xia Mo knew that her appearance had not stirred the heart of "Young Master Wei" since she discovered that there was no evil thought in his eyes when he saw her. If she continued to pursue him, she would only ruin the goodwill that her appearance had brought him.
As Xia Mo turned to walk away from Huangfu Qian, about three zhang away, she was stopped by someone.
A group of five people were captivated by Xia Mo's stunning appearance, and those with wicked intentions naturally seized the opportunity.
This was something Xia Mo had anticipated.
She wondered what Huangfu Qian's reaction would be.
A hero saves the damsel in distress?
still is……
