Chapter 149 You Must Live Well
The next day, when Mianmian woke up, Xiao Jingli had already left.

He spent the entire night on the footstool last night, and always wanted to run to the end of the bed to rest, but was pulled down by Mianmian again and again.

When the little girl was half asleep, she found that Xiao Jingli rested his chin on the bed, his tiger pupils flashing with light, staring at her without blinking.

That look was as if he was looking at his own baby and couldn't bear to look away.

Today, Xiao Jingli went to the palace to propose to the emperor his request to marry Mianmian.

Mianmian also planned to tell her family about her and Xiao Jingli.

The little girl first went to visit Ning Guanzhou who was recuperating from his injuries. Chen Qingyin was holding his hand, talking to him gently, and asking him to take medicine.

Ning Guanzhou leaned in his wife's arms, using the excuse that the medicine was bitter.

Mianmian saw this scene at the door, covered her mouth with her hands, laughed secretly, and quietly retreated.

It’s better not to disturb mom and dad’s sweet time for now. There’s still time to wait until dinner time.

Mianmian returned to the yard and suddenly felt that the entire yard was shrouded in a mist-like barrier.

She frowned immediately and looked around, and a figure fell from the sky.

The middle-aged man in front of him was thin and skinny, but his fox eyes looked particularly deep.

Mianmian was stunned: "High priest?"

The high priest stepped forward and bowed, "Qingfeng greets the little princess."

Mianmian suddenly became nervous: "Why are you here? Did something happen in Qingqiu?"

The high priest is the pillar of their tribe. If he comes here, it must be a sign that something big is going to happen.

Qing Feng shook his head: "I came here to remind the little princess that the White Tiger Fallen Angel you met has stolen the Yao Chi Immortal Grass, the most precious treasure of the Heavenly Palace, and now countless heavenly soldiers and generals are on their way."

"What?!" Mianmian was shocked.

Qing Feng nodded: "Little Princess, our Qingqiu Nine-tailed Fox clan's chance to get rid of the curse has finally come."

"As long as you can lure the White Tiger Fallen Angel out and let the heavenly soldiers and generals subdue him, we can make amends for our mistakes, and the heavens will also lift this curse that has lasted for tens of thousands of years for us."

Mianmian's brows were tightly furrowed, and there was an anxious look in her dark eyes.

"He stole the Yao Chi Immortal Grass just to help me lift the curse, but he didn't tell me that he would be captured by the heavenly soldiers..."

The high priest's eyes were deep: "Little princess, you should not know that when he stole the immortal grass, he injured four gods and countless heavenly soldiers, causing a great turmoil. How could the heavenly way just let him go?"

"Besides, before this, he was a white tiger suppressed under the pagoda. He was cast down to the mortal world by the Heavenly Court. He was a monster in himself."

Mianmian looked at him suddenly: "Don't say that about him."

Qingfeng was stunned and let out a long sigh.

"Little Princess, I know you have a good relationship with him, but this is related to Qingqiu and the fate of our two clans. Are you going to give up such a great opportunity?"

"Have you forgotten the hopes placed in you by tens of thousands of clansmen? Have you forgotten the pain of the old clan leader and his wife not being able to live for more than 500 years? Have you forgotten the sadness of the relatives around you passing away one after another?"

Every word nailed Mianmian into the frame of responsibility, leaving her unable to move.

Her eyes were slightly red and she was struggling mentally.

Qing Feng continued, "Before I came here, I had already dealt with the Heavenly Court. They promised that if you are willing to help subdue this white tiger, the Heavenly Court will cancel the curse that our Qingqiu Fox Clan carries."

"Little princess, Qingfeng begs you, the bloodline of our Qingqiu Nine-tailed Fox clan is getting smaller and smaller, precisely because of the curse that limits the lifespan to no more than 500 years."

Mianmian turned her back and choked up, "Don't say that! We have a better way. You said that as long as I help King Zhou reincarnate and create a prosperous era, we can lift the curse. Why do you want me to hurt the person who is most important to me now!" Qingfeng walked up to her and said, "Little princess, the truth is cruel. You may not accept it if I tell you."

"The reincarnation of King Zhou is not the current emperor, but the Ninth Prince. The real Ninth Prince died many years ago."

Mianmian was also aware of this matter.

But she had thought that helping the Ninth Prince, whether it was the original him or not, would work.

It turns out that fate had already set up a difficult problem.

Mianmian closed her eyes, tears streaming down her face, and she clenched and unclenched her fists at her side.

"Qingfeng, go back first. I know what to do about this."

The high priest cupped his hands and said in a deep voice: "I hope the little princess will consider the overall interests of our entire clan first."

After saying that, he turned around and disappeared, and the barriers around him disappeared in an instant.

Linlang walked into the yard and felt that Mianmian appeared suddenly. She was startled and immediately said with a smile: "Miss, I am looking for you everywhere. The palace has issued an order to grant you marriage. I want to give you..."

"Tell Xiao Jingli that I won't marry. I have one condition. Ask him to come and see me." Mianmian interrupted Linlang, turned around, wiped away her tears, and went into the house.

Soon, in the evening, Xiao Jingli hurried over.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Mianmian sitting in front of the mirror with her back to him.

"What's wrong? Do you have any other conditions?" Xiao Jingli walked over with steady steps, took out a golden hairpin from his arms and put it into Mianmian's hair.

He smiled and said, "My father was so sick that he was unconscious, but when he heard that I was getting married, he woke up with his dragon body. He said that this was the phoenix hairpin that he had prepared for the Crown Princess a long time ago, so I brought it to you in advance."

After Xiao Jingli said this, he realized that Mianmian hadn't spoken a word.

His smile gradually disappeared, and his expression became solemn. He bent down and turned Mianmian's body to face him.

"What's wrong? Why are you crying?"

Mianmian's eyes were red and she looked like she was about to cry, but she still tried hard to smile.

"Xiao Jingli, I almost forgot the most important thing."

"what's up?"

"My parents, my real parents, don't know I'm getting married yet."

As she spoke, she took out a brocade box and said, "When they died, I buried them in the most beautiful Peach Blossom Fantasy Sea outside the Three Realms. You can send this to their graves for me and tell them that from now on they don't have to worry because you will take good care of me."

Xiao Jingli took the box and asked, "What is this?"

Mianmian held his hand tightly.

"You have to go to their graves to open them."

Looking at her tearful eyes, Xiao Jingli bent down and kissed the corner of her lips, his sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes smiling brightly.

"It's not that difficult. I'll leave right away. Wait for me."

"it is good."

Mianmian watched him walk away quickly, tears rolling down her fair cheeks and dripping onto the pattern of her dress.

The Peach Blossom Fantasy Sea is outside the Three Realms and is not easy to find. It will take him at least a month to go back and forth, and by then everything will be settled.

Xiao Jingli, you must live well.
