Thinking of what would happen on Heaven Dou Lake a month from now.
A blush rose to Xue Qinghe's pretty face.
An event like this concerned the next generation of the Heavenly Dou Empire.
The entire royal family attached great importance to it. To ensure the event proceeded smoothly, the imperial household and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would even send specialists to maintain order at the venue.
The date of the event had also been carefully selected. That day would naturally be bright and sunny, with clear skies stretching for miles. There would absolutely be no wind or rain to disrupt the event.
To prevent participants from oversleeping, the royal family would even arrange for guards to remind them at their homes on time.
With so many safeguards in place, it could be said that as long as someone registered, no accidents would happen!
"Qingkong should come, right?"
Xue Qinghe could not quite figure out what Wu Qingkong was thinking.
After all, that man was truly as dense as wood.
Dugu Yan practically wore her feelings on her face, yet he still could not tell. What an idiot!
"But that's fine... That way, he'll belong to me alone..."
Before he knew it, night had grown deep.
The evening breeze blew through the window lattice, its faint chill clearing Xue Qinghe's mind considerably.
The invitation against his chest had gradually grown hot from being held there for so long.
Feeling the warmth from his chest, Xue Qinghe silently made a decision.
He had to personally deliver this invitation to Wu Qingkong. As long as Qian Qinghe invited him, Wu Qingkong would definitely not refuse!
Xue Qinghe turned back and glanced toward the corner behind him.
"She Long, I'm going out. Put something in Xue Ye's medicine and make him sleep a little longer..."
"Yes."
As soon as the words fell, She Long's figure flashed and vanished from the spot.
"Sorry, Xue Ye."
"For Qingkong and me, I can only let you suffer this grievance."
She Long was very fast.
Before long, the imperial palace once again descended into turmoil.
Taking advantage of the disturbance.
Golden light flashed around Xue Qinghe.
When the light faded, Xue Qinghe had already transformed into Qian Qinghe and flew out of the palace.
Qian Qinghe flew quickly, and before long.
She arrived at the entrance of the Wu Qingkong Restaurant.
Outside the restaurant.
The courtyard gate was tightly secured with a large lock.
But that could not stump Qian Qinghe.
Given her relationship with Wu Qingkong, she naturally had a spare key to the place.
Qian Qinghe reached into her pocket and quickly took out a key, engraved with a tiny character for "Qian."
Wu Qingkong had specially made it for her back then!
She inserted the key into the lock and gave it a gentle twist.
The door opened.
Ever since Wu Qingkong left, no one had come to this place again.
In just a few days, a fair amount of dust had gathered.
A choking smell of dust rushed into her face.
Qian Qinghe picked up the broom in the corner and began cleaning the little restaurant for Wu Qingkong.
As the dust rose, in just a short while, the little restaurant became spotless.
After cleaning up, she noticed something on the table constantly giving off an icy blue glow.
Xue Qinghe leaned closer and saw that it was actually a food box.
A small note was stuck to the box.
"Brother Qinghe."
"I knew you'd sneak over here. You little glutton, you've probably eaten nearly everything I left for you, right?"
"I hid this away in secret."
"If you're craving snacks, eat these first to satisfy yourself. But don't eat too much, okay? Food with lots of sugar and oil will make you gain weight if you eat too much!"
"From Qingkong."
Seeing the familiar handwriting, a faint smile appeared on Qian Qinghe's lips.
"That fool may be a little dense, but he's actually quite thoughtful..."
When she lifted the lid, an icy chill rushed toward her.
Beneath the ice were all sorts of food, all of them Qian Qinghe's favorites.
Qinghe reached out, pinched up a small piece of roasted meat, and popped it into her mouth.
Her eyes curved into crescents as she chuckled.
"I never expected you to prepare such a surprise for me."
"But Qingkong, do you know?"
"I prepared a surprise for you too..."
In the outskirts.
As Wu Qingkong sped onward, the familiar wooden house in the distance gradually grew larger and larger in his vision.
He could not help letting out a long breath.
"I'm finally home."
Now that he had called off the engagement and regained his freedom, Wu Qingkong could not help feeling expectant.
"Xiao He, you'd better not be fooling me!"
"If you lied to me, I'll really be unhappy."
As he drew closer, he noticed light shining out from his house.
A smug smile appeared on Wu Qingkong's lips.
"You little glutton, do you think I don't know you?"
"What could you possibly hide from me? I knew you'd sneak food, so I deliberately left something for you."
Wu Qingkong suddenly accelerated, racing toward the wooden house at full speed.
Very soon, he reached the door and pushed it open.
"Xiao He, I knew you were sneaking food. Caught you, didn't I?!"
At that moment, Qian Qinghe was slowly chewing the roasted meat in her mouth.
Grease glistened at the corners of her lips.
Hearing that familiar voice, Qian Qinghe immediately turned around.
"Qingkong, you're back?!"
As soon as she spoke, she immediately pounced toward Wu Qingkong.
Seeing Qian Qinghe's greasy little mouth, Wu Qingkong pushed her away in disgust.
"Wipe the grease off your mouth. Don't get my clothes dirty."
"No!"
With that, Qian Qinghe rushed toward Wu Qingkong again.
Though Wu Qingkong said that, when he saw Qian Qinghe flying into his arms, he ultimately did not push her away.
He let her hold him.
After Qian Qinghe burrowed into his arms, Wu Qingkong was somewhat puzzled.
What had been going on with Xiao He these past few years?
Why was she getting softer and softer, and why did she smell so good?
At that moment, he silently muttered to himself, Brother, you smell so good...
Qian Qinghe hugged Wu Qingkong.
"Qingkong, you're finally back. That's wonderful!"
"What? Did you miss me?!"
Qian Qinghe pushed Wu Qingkong away and huffed, "Who missed you?!"
"You narcissist! I didn't!"
"I came here because there's something I want to tell you!"
"Huh?"
Wu Qingkong looked confused. "What is it?!"
Thinking of what she was about to do, Qian Qinghe unexpectedly revealed a shy expression.
She lowered her head.
A blush spread from her cheeks all the way to the tips of her ears.
Seeing his good brother like this, Wu Qingkong could not help feeling puzzled.
"What's wrong, Xiao He? Are you feeling unwell?!"
As he spoke, he placed a hand against Qian Qinghe's forehead.
Seeing Wu Qingkong's action, Qian Qinghe was both angry and annoyed, but it was not as though she had only just met him.
"This blockhead... If I could beat him, I'd really like to give him a beating!"
Qian Qinghe took a deep breath.
She took an invitation from her chest and handed it over.
Wu Qingkong reached out and accepted it.
When he opened it, a line of large gilded words entered his sight.
"A Heaven Dou Match by Heaven Dou Lake, Three Lifetimes Bound by Heaven Dou Lake"
