Two days later, as night fell, the familiar outline of Spirit City finally appeared on the horizon.
The tall and towering city walls exude a solemn atmosphere.
The carriage did not stop in the city and drove directly to the Spirit Hall.
When the carriage stopped steadily at the door of Lin Ye's palace, Zhu Zhuqing jumped out of the carriage almost impatiently.
"Phew... finally back!"
She breathed a long sigh of relief. After days of traveling and traveling, even with her Soul Ancestor constitution, she felt a little tired.
Lin Ye looked at her look, shook his head with a smile, stepped forward to hold her hand, and walked into the palace where he had been away for many days.
Familiar room, familiar layout, everything is exactly the same as when I left.
"Bang!"
Zhu Zhuqing As soon as he entered the house, he didn't even have time to take off his shoes, so he threw himself directly onto the soft and spacious bed.
She buried her face deeply into the soft quilt and let out a sigh of contentment.
"Wow... the bed is still the most comfortable!"
The girl's voice came muffledly from the quilt,
"A carriage is still a carriage, no matter how luxurious it is, it is not as comfortable as lying on a bed!"
Like a lazy cat, she rolled around on the bed twice, then stretched her limbs and relaxed completely.
Lin Ye Looking at her defenseless and cute look, the smile in her eyes became even stronger.
He walked to the bed and sat down, reaching out to rub her long, silky black hair.
"Okay, since you're so tired, let's wash up quickly and get some rest early."
"Well..."
Zhu Zhuqing responded lazily, but showed no intention of moving. Instead, he pulled the quilt up and wrapped himself tighter.
Lin Ye smiled helplessly upon seeing this, and without urging her, he got up and went to prepare hot water.
When he came out of the bathroom, he found that the Big Cat on the bed had almost merged with the quilt, and only a pair of beautiful eyes were exposed, spinning around.
"The water is ready, go and wash it quickly." Lin Ye patted the bulge on the quilt.
"Oh~"
Zhu Zhuqing then reluctantly got out of bed and walked slowly to the bathroom.
Soon, the sound of rushing water came from the bathroom.
Lin Ye Lying on the bed, pillowing his arms, quietly listening to the sound of water, his heart felt peaceful.
The experience at Heaven Dou City these past few days, although exciting, was also full of killing and bloodshed.
Destroying Tang San, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, and fighting Flender, all of this put the murderous intent and fighting spirit in his body into an extremely excited state.
And now, back to this private space that only belongs to him and Zhu Zhuqing,
Listen to the sound of your loved one washing up in the bathroom
The restless and murderous spirit gradually subsided, replaced by an unprecedented sense of stability and satisfaction.
Not long after, the bathroom door was opened.
I saw Zhu Zhuqing walking out in a loose silk nightgown. Her skin that had just been bathed was white and rosy, exuding a light fragrance.
The wet long hair is spread casually on the shoulders, adding a bit of lazy charm.
When she saw Lin Ye already lying on the bed, her pretty face blushed slightly, but she still pretended to be calm and walked to the other side of the bed, lifted the quilt and lay down in it.
The room fell into silence for a while.
Lin Ye didn't say anything, he just turned sideways and stretched out his long arms, skillfully pulling the girl who just lay down into his arms.
"Yeah!"
Zhu Zhuqing exclaimed, obviously not responding.
"Don't move."
Lin Ye put his chin on the top of her head, feeling the soft body in his arms, and said softly.
"Let me hold you for a while."
Hearing his voice that was full of fatigue and nostalgia, Zhu Zhuqing's body, which had been preparing to struggle, slowly relaxed.
She found a comfortable position and pressed her face against his solid chest.
"The big bad guy..."
After a while, Zhu Zhuqing in his arms suddenly moved, and a muffled voice came from the quilt, with a hint of worry in it.
"Lin Ye, we came back so early this time, tomorrow... how should we explain to the teacher?"
She remembered clearly that Bibi Dong gave them a month, but they came back before they even stayed for seven days.
Moreover, Lin Ye caused such a big mess in Heaven Dou City.
Although they did the right thing, she was still worried that Bibi Dong would be punished for it.
"Haha." Lin Ye's deep laughter vibrated in his chest,
"Go to sleep, little fool."
He tightened his arms and held her tighter.
"If the sky falls, I will hold it up."
"Just leave it to me tomorrow."
Lin Ye's voice is full of confidence and dominance, as if nothing in the world can stop him.
Zhu Zhuqing After listening to his words, the last trace of worry in my heart disappeared.
Yes, with Lin Ye here, what do you have to worry about?
She closed her eyes with peace of mind, and a sweet smile appeared on her lips.
However, just when Lin Ye thought she was about to fall asleep, the girl in her arms suddenly moved dishonestly.
"Big bad guy, but I can't sleep..."
"Huh?"
Lin Ye opened his eyes and looked down at the dishonest little head in his arms.
"What's wrong? What are you thinking about again?"
Zhu Zhuqing raised his head from his arms, his bright eyes blinked with a hint of cunning and coquettishness.
"I... I also want to eat candied haws."
"Pfft..."
Lin Ye almost choked on his own saliva.
He couldn't help but pinch the tip of the girl's nose, his tone full of doting and helplessness.
"My greedy cat! Are you serious?"
"When you were at Heaven Dou City, didn't you already eat all the dozens of bunches of candied haws I bought for you?"
Lin Ye's voice was full of ridicule,
"In the past two days on the carriage back, you almost ate candied haws as a meal. After eating so much, it's not enough?"
He deliberately kept a straight face and looked serious.
"If you keep eating like this, will you lose your teeth? Then you will turn into a toothless little old lady. It depends on what you do!"
"Hmph! I don't know how!"
Zhu Zhuqing blushed at what he said and lightly punched his chest in dissatisfaction.
Of course she knew how much she had eaten in the past two days, but... she just suddenly wanted to eat!
Especially in this man's arms, the thought of acting like a baby can't help but come out.
"Okay, okay, I'll take you to the night market tomorrow and let you eat it all again, okay." Lin Ye said with a doting look on his face.
"Huh, this is what you said, so I'll let you go today!"
Zhu Zhuqing lay in his arms again, with a smile in his voice.
This time, she didn't make any fuss.
Maybe it was because he was tired, or maybe because he no longer had any worries in his heart, but not long after, the sound of even and steady breathing came from his arms.
Lin Ye looked down and saw that the girl had fallen into a deep sleep. Her long eyelashes cast a small shadow under her eyelids. There was a smile on her lips, as if she was having a sweet dream.
"Oh, what a silly girl."
Lin Ye's eyes became extremely soft, and he gently pressed a kiss on her smooth forehead.
Who would have thought that in the eyes of outsiders, the cold goddess who is as cold as an iceberg and rejects people thousands of miles away, in private, turns out to be this little girl who loves to act coquettishly.
But...
He likes Zhu Zhuqing like this.
The way it only belongs to him.
Lin Ye tightened his arms, hugged the treasure in his arms tighter, and slowly closed his eyes.
