Chapter 75: Drinking and mingling
The female beasts in the upper city were also very pretty, just as Brother Feng Zhi had described, with smiles on their faces and graceful looks. They danced in the center of the main hall, with occasional two or three unique chirping sounds of the bird tribe, which were melodious and very pleasant to the ear.
Le Zhi couldn't concentrate on looking at the juicy fruits on the table. She had always been greedy, but now she had no appetite. She just wanted to leave the upper city as soon as possible and have a good sleep.
But the high priest who was sitting not far away had a sticky look in his eyes, which would always glance at her inadvertently, making Le Zhi feel uncomfortable.
The girl looked sideways and saw that the food on the tables of her three brothers was also untouched. No one in the family gave the priest the honor of having a bite.
Le Zhi sighed, lazily lying on the table in a daze, just hoping that the torturous time would end quickly.
When she was half asleep, she saw with her own eyes that her elder brother walked up to Yan Qiu, and the two of them opened and closed their mouths. Le Zhi was too tired to hear clearly what they said...
Feng Zhi's deal was to kill a criminal for Winged Beast City in exchange for the imperial edict from Priest Yan Qiu.
It lasts for half a year, which is plenty of time.
But the matter itself is much more complicated. This criminal in Winged Beast City has a great background. He was a minion sent by the Temple to monitor Yan Qiu. If it weren't for the protection of Le Zhi's identity, the Monster Brothers would not have touched anything related to the Temple.
When Le Zhi woke up again, he was already lying on a bed with white gauze curtains, and the feeling of uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger.
The three brothers around her suddenly disappeared, which made her feel annoyed.
Le Zhi has never left the care of the three male beasts since she was a child. Now that the affection between them and the young bird is deeply rooted, it is normal for her to feel afraid.
The footsteps outside the curtain came slowly from far away, and Le Zhi was not familiar with them.
Yan Qiu comforted him, "I have made a contract with Feng Zhi. You will enjoy the best life in Shangcheng in the next six months. You can leave only after your elder brother finishes his work and comes back."
Le Zhi suddenly sat up straight, ripped off the gorgeous curtain made of white gauze, and said angrily: "Impossible, brother will not leave me here alone! You are lying to me!"
Yan Qiu was now standing right beside the girl's bed, his elegant figure looking down from above, greedily gazing at the girl's stunning face.
He explained slowly, "How could I bear to lie to you? My flawless little princess, the reason they want to form an alliance with me is because of you..."
Le Zhi understood that her existence should not be known to the outside world, and her brothers in the family had always kept her hidden out of their instinct to protect her.
The girl wanted to bite her teeth to pieces, hoping that she could be an ordinary little orc so as not to cause trouble to her family.
Yan Qiu's actions were firm, and his warm fingers pressed against the girl's chin, forcing her to look up and look into his eyes.
"Are you sad, little princess? Do you need me to help you with anything?"
Le Zhi was unwilling, but since the day she became conscious, she had never been submissive to anyone. How could she possibly make a fool of herself in front of this disgusting priest!
The inky black curls were agitated and the seaweed-like hair was trembling like electric shock. Le Zhi was furious.
The girl didn't care that she was still wearing a long skirt, and kicked sideways, kicking the big hand away in an unladylike manner.
Le Zhi's voice was cold, without a trace of warmth.
"You don't need to pretend to care about me. Get out of here."
Yan Qiu liked the little princess even more when he looked at her.
In the priest's eyes, the girl's aggressive and unrestrained look was the source of his heartbeat.
Yan Qiu sighed secretly: "Little Princess, it's so perfect..."
Le Zhi was too lazy to pretend to be polite to the disgusting priest in front of her. She raised her hand to put the loose hair on her forehead behind her head with a look of disgust.
Do you feel good about being scolded by this shameless person?
isn't it?
This male beast is so disgusting!
Le Zhi glared at the disgusting high priest, but dared not look around, for fear that this shameless man would touch him again if he was not careful.
The two of them stared at each other for a long time. Le Zhi was the first to lose his patience and urged, "Priest, if you have nothing to do, please leave quickly. I don't like dealing with people. I like to play with dead people." Yan Qiu closed his eyelids to prevent Le Zhi from seeing his strange eyes.
The priest looked miserable, like a harmless little lamb.
He said word by word: "Little Princess, this is my bedroom. The curtain you just tore was mine. I came here to take you to your new residence. I have no other intentions..."
The corner of Le Zhi's mouth twitched, and his expression turned bad, as gaudy and cute as if a paint tray had been overturned.
The girl finally took the time to glance at the white gauze in her hand. The material was delicate and soft, and seemed quite precious.
"At worst, I'll give you a new one."
Yan Qiu smiled and shook his head. "It's just a small matter. I can be of use to you in the future. Little princess, don't be polite. Just make your request."
Yan Qiu really took Le Zhi to the new residence in person, which was also in the main priest hall. The furnishings were exactly the same as the disgusting priest's bedroom, with no difference at all.
Le Zhi didn’t know if men had some special fetishes, but all the rooms looked the same, wasn’t that strange?
What a bad taste.
The priest also thoughtfully sent two little servants to Le Zhi, but she ruthlessly rejected them, saying that she didn't like living people and was not used to having strange breath around her.
Yan Qiu was even shameless enough to dine with Le Zhi, but she resisted the urge to beat up the disgusting priest because of the fact that Jin Gui Curtain did not have to pay for the damage.
The two people were eating face to face, and the scene was indescribably awkward and weird.
Le Zhi's eating manners were average. He would finish a large fruit in four or five bites, and swallow a small apricot whole, and soon spit out a core. He hadn't eaten anything during the day, so he was starving. How could he care about his image?
Priest Yan Qiu teased the water stains on the girl's lips. Although he had no appetite, he picked up a red fruit and took a bite.
He looked at Le Zhi's pink lips shamelessly, his eyes gloomy.
The man only felt that the fruit flesh in his mouth became moist and delicious, just like the tempting lips he saw in his eyes.
Le Zhi is born with prejudice against external things, and she is good at discovering and perceiving things that are harmful to her.
Just like now, the hairs on the back of the girl's hands trembled, and the sticky and greedy gaze made her unable to control her body.
I can't eat this meal anymore...
Le Zhi thought so.
The girl took out her clean handkerchief, wiped her face, stood up and left. Her movements were nimble and quick, as if she was running away.
Not even a trace of his back was left behind...
After she left, Yan Qiu picked up the leftover food from Le Zhi and started to eat it with relish. The corners of the man's mouth were cracked, revealing sharp teeth.
If the priest looked elegant and refined when they first met, with an androgynous appearance, now he looked more like a demon that was even worse than a monster.
The sweet fruit juice splashed on the man's face. A hoarse laugh came out of his throat. Yan Qiu swept away everything on the table, and his greedy long tongue dropped to his collarbone.
The priest's current appearance was too hideous, and it was impossible to tell what expression was on that scary face.
It looks absurd, ugly and despicable.
Crazy, and a little disgusting...
