Chapter 951: Because There Were So Many Mosquitoes
Ning Shu didn’t really want to protect Shangguan Qingrou, but with her status, she didn’t have the right to say no. She was a death soldier without any personal opinions.
If she revealed any trace of unwillingness, then she could just wait for death. There were still ten people ranked above Ning Shu by strength. She wouldn’t be able to beat them, or at least, she wouldn’t be able to as she was now.
Ning Shu had already figured out how she should carry out this task. There was no need for her to meddle with Xuan Hongyu—she didn’t have the ability to anyhow. When the time came that Xuan Hongyu was defeated, she’d go save him. Things would be fine as long as he was still alive.
There was no need to worry about other things.
Ning Shu started practicing the Unsurpassable Martial Arts.
Once it got dark, she snuck into the kitchen to find food before returning to the branch to cultivate. However, there were seriously a lot of mosquitoes.
Ning Shu abruptly slapped her face and killed a mosquito. She scratched some of the bites, then recalled Xuan Hongyu’s meaningful gaze from earlier. Should she take a trip back to the prince’s residence?
Ning Shu jumped over the wall again to head back to the prince’s residence and saw that Xuan Hongyu’s study was still lit up.
After a moment of hesitation, Ning Shu still knocked on the door. Xuan Hongyu’s cold voice came from inside. “Come in.”
Ning Shu pushed open the door and walked in. She found that Xuan Hongyu was currently writing something. As the lantern lights illuminated him, it gave him a hazy glow.
“Master.” Ning Shu knelt on one knee.
Xuan Hongyu was expressionless. In front of Ning Shu, he was extremely cold and dignified, giving off an oppressing aura.
He looked up and glanced at Ning Shu who was kneeling on the ground, then dipped his brush in the ink as he said, “You came later than I expected, but at least you did come.”
Ning Shu: …
So that long meaningful glance was telling her to come back.
How the hell was she supposed to figure out anything from a glance? The only reason she came back was random luck and because there were a lot of mosquitoes on the tree!
Ning Shu maintained an expressionless face and didn’t say anything.
Xuan Hongyu started drawing something on the paper. The more he drew, the faster he drew. Finally, he slammed the brush down, causing black ink to splash on the paper.
Xuan Hongyu frowned, then crushed the paper into a ball and tossed it.
Ning Shu: …
Could he let her stop kneeling first?
Xuan Hongyu looked towards Ning Shu and said, “Do you know what your mission is this time?”
“This subordinate knows, don’t worry, Master. This subordinate will definitely protect Miss Shangguan properly and make sure that she doesn’t encounter any danger,” said Ning Shu in a vow-like manner.
Xuan Hongyu didn’t react at all to Ning Shu’s impassioned words and just kept looking at her indifferently. Ning Shu felt like her awkwardness cancer was about to flare up.
“Besides guaranteeing Shangguan Qingrou’s safety, you have a different mission. This prince wishes to know what Shangguan Qingrou does each day and what people she meets. Everything, regardless of its importance.” Xuan Hongyu looked towards Ning Shu. “Can you do it?”
Ning Shu’s eyes whirled as she considered Xuan Hongyu’s words. “Master, everything regardless of its importance includes what?”
“Anything,” replied Xuan Hongyu.
And what does anything include? Ning Shu asked, “So what she wears, what she eats, what she says to other people, all of this must be reported?”
“Yes.” Xuan Hongyu nodded.
Ning Shu: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
The f*ck? This perverted!? It felt like she was going to become a peeking stalker.
This extreme possessiveness wasn’t just on a normal level of scary.
He wanted to know everything, including when Shangguan Qingrou woke up, when she ate, when she went to the toilet, whether it was the big one or small one, and when her period came.
Ning Shu’s face was extremely unperturbed and expressionless, but she was completely falling apart on the inside.
