Taking Alicia Around Heaven Dou, Xue Qinghe

It was unknown how long had passed when, amid Alicia's teasing voice, a silvery-white thread stretched between the two of them. The low pressure around Mirror Flow had long since vanished, replaced by two rosy clouds on her cheeks and a hint of satisfaction in her eyes.

After enduring Huang Quan's torment, Lu Mingchuan had become more practiced, at least not nearly suffocating like last time. Looking at Mirror Flow across from him, he felt somewhat confused.

Huang Quan had spent so much time with him, so growing feelings over time could be explained. But Mirror Flow was different—he had only just summoned her. How had this happened? After thinking for a while without coming up with any possibility, he could only attribute it to his overwhelming charm.

He then cautiously glanced at Huang Quan and sighed in relief when he saw no reaction from her.

However, Lu Mingchuan soon began worrying about the sleeping arrangements. Back when there were fewer people, he slept with Huang Quan. But now that there were more people, it would not be right to sleep only with Huang Quan, while all sleeping together would seem a bit... like that.

The considerate Miss Alicia naturally saw through Lu Mingchuan's worries. She gathered the girls together and began a secret conversation between beautiful maidens.

"Let's discuss this. Huang Quan gets days one and three, Mirror Flow gets two and four, and I get five, six, and seven. How does that sound?" Alicia proposed to the two.

The two girls immediately shook their heads without hesitation. Seeing this, Alicia once again put on a pitiful little face. "Can you really bear to refuse such a cute Pink Fairy Miss?"

But she was destined to be wasting her effort. The experiences these two had suffered were each more terrifying than the other. Though cute Alicia made them waver for a moment, it was only for a moment.

Seeing that they would not agree to those terms, Alicia could only come up with another idea. "Then how about two days each?" The two girls considered it and felt that this was acceptable, at least better than before, so they agreed.

A sly glint appeared in Alicia's eyes. She had never said she could not take the initiative to harass Lu Mingchuan herself.

Afterward, she told Lu Mingchuan this good news. Listening to her claim credit, Lu Mingchuan could not help but laugh. As expected of Alicia—she had effortlessly accomplished something others could not.

After resolving the matter of sleeping at night, Alicia wanted to drag Lu Mingchuan out shopping. Being trapped inside the crystal while her consciousness was awake had truly stifled her, and he simply could not refuse the cute Pink Fairy Miss.

He could only let her pull him outside. Before leaving, he gave Huang Quan and Mirror Flow an apologetic look. Watching the group's receding backs, Huang Quan, who was usually a little airheaded, had no particular thoughts, while the bit of goodwill Mirror Flow had developed toward Alicia plummeted rapidly.

Heaven Dou City.

A cute pink-haired girl looked here and there along the streets, radiating an air of pure joy. The pedestrians and vendors by the roadside seemed to be infected by it.

Smiles unconsciously appeared on their faces, and their hands moved even faster.

"Ah, Ah Chuan, walk faster." To someone who had lived in the technologically advanced Previous Era, everything here felt wonderfully quaint and novel. Seeing Lu Mingchuan strolling leisurely behind her, she turned and waved at him.

He hurriedly took a couple of steps to reach Alicia's side. Alicia took his hand and led him onward. After wandering around for a while, her eyes lit up. "Ah Chuan, look! Don't candied hawthorns go perfectly with beautiful maidens?" She raised a finger and pointed at an old man selling candied hawthorns ahead.

Lu Mingchuan looked at her with a smile. "They certainly do. Would you like your Ah Chuan to buy you a skewer?"

"As expected of my good Ah Chuan. You saw right away that I wanted candied hawthorns." Alicia beamed at Lu Mingchuan.

"But eat less. Alicia seems to have gotten a little chubby." He said it while barely holding back his laughter. The smile on Alicia's face froze slightly when she heard that, and she looked at Lu Mingchuan resentfully.

"Where am I chubby? You can't joke about a beautiful maiden's weight." Hearing the resentful voice beside him, Lu Mingchuan grinned and chuckled before pulling Alicia over to the old man selling candied hawthorns.

"Please give me two skewers. How much are they?" Alicia shook her head at once.

"No, no, one is enough. We can share one, so we can save room for dinner. Yes, save room for dinner." She was initially somewhat lacking in confidence, but by the end, she seemed to have found a reason, and her confidence returned.

This showed that Lu Mingchuan calling her chubby had still affected her. Still, she did have a point.

The old man gestured for them to choose a skewer from the stick themselves. After picking for a while, Alicia took the one she thought was cutest. Once Lu Mingchuan had paid, he took Alicia to continue strolling down the street. Suddenly, a skewer of candied hawthorns was held up to his mouth.

"This one is very sweet. Have a taste too." Alicia held up the skewer and blinked at him. Lu Mingchuan could not help but laugh, opening his mouth to bite off one from the top. Sure enough, a sour flavor burst across his mouth.

"How is it? Is it good?"

Lu Mingchuan nodded. Seeing how certain he looked, a flash of confusion appeared in Alicia's eyes. She opened her mouth and ate one. "Bad Ah Chuan, you lied to me. It's obviously very sour." The sourness made her squeeze her eyes shut.

Seeing Alicia's adorable appearance, the smile on Lu Mingchuan's lips grew wider. "Clearly, it was you, you scoundrel Alicia, trying to trick me into eating sour candied hawthorns, and now you're blaming me first."

"Oh my, look at that person. What a beautiful maiden." Knowing she was in the wrong, Alicia tried to change the subject, widening her eyes as she pointed at someone.

Although he knew she was changing the subject, he still curiously followed her finger to look at the person she called a beautiful maiden. What entered his sight, however, was a blond man standing beside a carriage. In an instant, he thought of someone.

At this point in time, in Heaven Dou City, the only person Alicia would call beautiful while disguised as a man was Qian Renxue.

He grabbed Alicia, who wanted to go up and strike up a conversation. Contact with that person would bring a heap of trouble. There was no real danger, but it would be annoying. After explaining the reason to Alicia, the two left.

As they left, Alicia was still rather reluctant. To her, seeing a beautiful maiden but being unable to get close and affectionate with her could be considered torture.

"Young Master, a young man and woman around their teens over there have been watching you."

Just as Xue Qinghe was about to step into the carriage, Stingray Douluo's voice suddenly sounded by his ear.

"Can you sense their strength?"

"My apologies. I can only sense that the boy is around level forty-five. I cannot detect the girl's strength."

Hearing this, Xue Qinghe's slightly furrowed brows relaxed. "Then there is no need to pay attention to them."

After all, as the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, it was perfectly normal for people to watch him whenever he went out. Those two were weak; at that level, they would be of no use in an assassination attempt. As for seeing through his identity, that was even more impossible. He therefore assumed they were simply people visiting the Heaven Dou Empire for the first time and were curious upon seeing him.

You can come play in the group chat. It would be best if a rich lady came to support me. (^▽^)
