Empress Running Away With The Ball

ch. 129-130

Chapter 129: Immortal coming down to earth

He had spent a lot of time to dress himself up in that kind of appearance. He had even scared himself when he looked in the mirror.

He never would have thought that not only did he not scare her, he had been scared by her.

"It's not that I'm not scared of ghosts, it's just your ghost disguise was too fake. Next time, let me give you a few pointers." Chen Ning smiled and said.

"I'm not playing anymore, it's not fun at all!" The ghost broke free of her grip. His body flashed and he jumped out the window.

After the initial fright, Xiao Ru stood up from the ground, but she was still trembling.

She saw the red tongue and messy hair on the ground and suddenly realized something.

"Young miss, that ghost was fake?"

"Of course it was fake. With this kind of skill, one could only fool a child. Only a stinky little brat that hasn't grown up yet would think that it is fun to play this kind of trick on someone."

Chen Ning pursed her lips and said.

"Try and call me stinky little brat one more time!"

Chu Shao Bai's voice suddenly came from the door. The voice was very low and filled with anger.

The moonlight shined in through the window and seemed to create a glow on his flawless face. His delicate eyebrows were bathed in the moonlight and the night wind gently blew across his robes. He was dressed in a long robe that did not have a single imperfection, making him seem like a deity descending from the heavens.

"Young miss, look quickly. It's an immortal descending upon the earth!" Xiao Ru was shocked as she took in a cold breath. She clutched Chen Ning's sleeve as she excitedly shouted.

"Puchi!"

Chen Ning couldn't help laughing and Chu Shao Bai's lips couldn't help twitching.

He looked over at Xiao Ru with his glittering peach blossom eyes and he saw Xiao Ru's face reveal a stunned expression. Her heart ran like a deer and she thought in her heart: God, there is actually someone this beautiful in this world!

Although she didn't say anything, once Chen Ning looked at her, she could guess what she was thinking from her expression. She couldn't help biting her lips.

"Xiao Bai, my maid has shallow eyelids. If you keep smiling at her, I cannot guarantee what will happen later." She revealed a faint smile.

Chu Shao Bai was prepared to tease Xiao Ru, but a chill appeared in his heart. The smile on his face immediately disappeared and he revealed a serious expression.

"Little girl, it's better if you obediently go to sleep."

He pointed to the right and a wisp of wind sounded out. He pressed down right on Xiao Ru's sleeping point.

Xiao Ru's eyes closed and she fell backwards.

Chu Shao Bai flicked his white sleeve and Xiao Ru seemed like she had been picked up by something. She was then delivered right onto the bed.

"Good martial arts!" Chen Ning couldn't help giving him a thumbs up.

Chu Shao Bai rolled his eyes and disdainfully said, "This isn't martial arts, this is just a little trick. Do you want to see some real martial arts? Then you should beg me. If you beg me to do it, I'll show you a single trick."

Chen Ning revealed a smile, "Then I won't see it."

"Humph!" Chu Shao Bai gave a cold snort and then raised his head to look around the drafty wooden hut. He clicked his tongue twice, "Little hedgehog, aren't the quills on your body very powerful? How did you end up in a place where rabbits won't even go to poop? Has my third brother been mistreating you these past few days? Has he been hitting you and insulting you? You can tell me and I'll help you vent your anger!"

His eyes sparkled as he looked at Chen Ning. A trace of concern appeared in his eyes, but it only lasted a second. It was so fast that Chen Ning couldn't see it clearly.

"No need." Chen Ning shook her head.

"Why?" Chu Shao Bai knit his brows together. He wasn't used to his goodwill being rejected.

"Because this is a grudge between him and me, so I don't want anyone to interfere. No matter what he does to me, I will remember it all without forgetting a single thing. Everything that he has given me, I will take back and I will even add on interest." Chen Ning raised her brows.

Chapter 130: You were thinking of me

Her face was very calm, just like she was saying something very normal.

But Chu Shao Bai knew that she was serious about every word she said.

He clapped as he smiled and said, "Good! Good! Then I will just wait and see. I'll wait for that day when my third brother is under your hand."

Seeing his face full of schadenfreude, Chen Ning was surprised.

"I want to go against your third brother, but you're not worried about him at all, rather you seem to be anticipating his bad luck. Is he even your blood related brother?"

"He has wronged you so many times, of course I'll stand on your side. Do you think I'm one of those fools who can't differentiate between right and wrong and only help people close to me?" Chu Shao Bai stuck out his chest.

Chen Ning couldn't help smiling as she casually said, "Where did you go these past few days? Why did you not show up once?"

She wanted to know if this fellow had figured it all out. She had laid out the fish net traps for several days and he hadn't been caught in it once.

She also never thought that as soon as she moved to the wooden hut, he would actually appear all of a sudden.

Chu Shao Bai's eyes lit up and he suddenly jumped forward. He landed right in front of Chen Ning and his strong chest almost hit her nose.

"Were you thinking of me?" He giggled.

"What nonsense." Chen Ning smiled and said.

Of course she wouldn't admit it, but she couldn't deny that in the few days he didn't appear, she had been thinking about him.

She was not used to being so close to him, so her upper body began to move back, but he grabbed onto her waist, not letting her get away.

He really was tall, especially being face to face with him. She had to look up just to see his face.

He looked down at her and suddenly his head came down. His delicate and flawless face was right beside her face.

Chen Ning's heart froze and she completely stopped breathing.

At this distance, she couldn't even see his face. She could only see his enlarged eyes and the light shining in them, glittering like countless stars.

"You were thinking of me." He proudly asserted.

Although she refused to admit it, her expression did not escape his eyes.

The moonlight shined down like a veil enveloping her body. Her face looking up was completely clean, without any makeup on. The long black hair fell down like a waterfall, making her tender and delicate face seem even more white. It seemed like squeezing her face could make water appear.

He almost did not dare to look in her eyes. Her eyes that looked like spring water and the autumn moon was especially moving. As long as he looked at her eyes, he wouldn't be able to suppress the wild beating of his heart.

Just the way they were now made his heart beat so fast that it almost jumped out of his chest.


His hands held onto her soft and slender waist, as if he could break off a piece by gripping too hard. He did not dare to use any strength out of fear that she would begin struggling.

Chen Ning saw his white jade face suddenly begin to blush and his eyes turning away, not daring to look at her.

This brat is actually being shy!

She couldn't help letting out a soft laugh.

Seeing how he was acting like a playboy and trying to have his way with her, she never thought he would become shy at the last moment. He really was a simple and pure young man.

"Xiao Bai, did you forget my status? Are you not going to let me go?" She had a faint smile on her face as she looked at him.

In this era, a man and a woman who were not in love were continuously embracing one another. Was he not afraid that she would ruin his reputation?

Chu Shao Bai's face turned red and he was not willing to let go, but after thinking about it for a bit, he transferred his hand from her waist to her wrist.

"I'm not letting go!"

"I am your third brother's princess and your third sister in law." Chen Ning casually reminded him.
