"What are you talking about? How could my master, a great god, use poor skills to talk to girls?" Bai Hu vented his dissatisfaction.
"God? You really think of yourself as a god." Xi Luo didn't want to be outdone and said back.
Bai Hu became even more angry. Seeing that she couldn't help him, he asked Yi Yao for help: "Master, look at her."
Yi Yao patted him on the shoulder: "Girl, we were the first to offend, please forgive me."
"Master, why are you apologizing to her?" Yi Yao secretly used the silence spell with his hand hidden under his clothes to prevent Bai Hu from continuing.
"I wonder what your name is, young lady?" Yi Yao performed his gentleness to the extreme.
"The surname is Shangguan, and the single name is Jing."
"Shangguan Jing..."
Yi Yao thought to herself over and over again, it seemed like she had settled down comfortably.
"I don't know your surname?"
"Girl, there's no need to be curious. You'll know when the time comes. I won't bother you anymore." Yi Yao led the white tiger and disappeared in the crowd.
Bai Hu looked curious and asked: "Master, why don't you tell him our identities."
"The secret must not be revealed. I have calculated that she will be doomed in three days, and we will meet again then."
"Isn't that the sixteenth birthday of Fairy Jinghan?"
Yi Yao hummed.
"What a baffling person."
"I knew the young master's name just now when he mentioned it. I think we will meet again."
"Miss, don't be deceived by strange people." Xi Luo said worriedly.
Shangguan Jing smiled: "Xi Luo, don't worry. We should go back, otherwise my parents will be worried."
"Yes, miss."
Inside Shangguan Mansion.
The housekeeper at the door saw that his lady had not returned yet and kept pacing back and forth.
Shangguan Jing and Xi Luo were talking and laughing when the housekeeper saw this and ran forward in a hurry: "Miss, you are back. The master and his wife have been waiting for a long time."
"Mom and dad should be anxious, so I'll go now." Shangguan Jing quickened his pace toward the main hall.
"Daddy, grandma." Shangguan Jing bowed.
Jian Ningzhi held her hand with a worried look on her face: "Ah Jing, why have you been gone for so long? I've made my mother so worried."
"Aniang, Xiluo and I went to the tailor shop to order some pieces of cloth for you to make new clothes."
"Ah Jing is interested." Jian Ningzhi smiled happily: "A Jing will be sixteen in a few days, and A Niang has prepared a gift for you."
She picked up the brocade box from the table and handed it to Shangguan Jing: "I won't open it until my birthday."
"Thank you, grandma."
On the day of his birthday, red lanterns were hung high on both sides of the red and vermilion-lacquered door of Shangguan Mansion.
"Miss, these are the clothes sent by the madam. Please take a look." Momo from the mansion led two maids to send the clothes and jewelry for the birthday.
"Leave it here, are you busy?"
After they left, Xi Luo couldn't wait to see what Shangguan Jing looked like in it: "Miss, please try it quickly."
"good."
After everything was put on, Shangguan Jing stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself.
"Xi Luo, what do you think?" She smiled.
She was seen wearing a light crimson gown, with lotus flowers outlined in silver on the cuffs. An agate brocade belt was tied around her waist, and a plain white gauze was draped over it, revealing the lines of her snow-white neck, shoulders and collarbones. Her figure is slimmer. She couldn't help but use a hairpin to pull her hair up into a bun, with two strands of black hair hanging down on both sides of her cheeks. She applied a little pink and red, and her red lips were not even red.
"Miss, you are so beautiful."
"Is it that exaggerated?" Shangguan Jing half-smiled.
There were knocks at the door, "Miss, are you dressed?"
"Not yet, it will be fine soon." Xi Luo replied.
"Miss, I'll comb your hair quickly, or it'll be too late."
Shangguan Jing nodded.
"Master, look at the sky in the distance." Bai Hu pointed to the sky not far away.
Yi Yao thought thoughtfully for a moment and said: "As Jinghan grows older, the immortal energy in her body becomes increasingly uncontrollable, and the demon clan is afraid that there may be something strange."
"Master, let's hurry up and rescue Fairy Jinghan."
There was still loud music and drums in the Shangguan Mansion, and ordinary people were not aware of anything strange happening.
"Master Shangguan, this is the gift I prepared for the young lady. I hope you will accept it as a small token of respect."
"Mr. Zhao is out of touch when he says this." Mr. Shangguan raised his wine glass.
"Auntie." Shangguan Jing quickly walked up to Jian Ningzhi and held her hand.
Jian Ningzhi said happily: "Our A-Jing has finally grown up." She touched Shangguan Jing's head.
Suddenly there was a terrifying thunder in the sky.
Shangguan Jing was startled and hid in Jian Ningzhi's arms. She comforted: "Don't be afraid, A-Jing, it will be fine once we enter the room."
At this time, a group of little monsters appeared outside the Shangguan Mansion, and the passers-by hid in the dark and did not dare to come out for fear of losing their lives.
"Boss, I can feel the immortal energy coming out of it." One of the little demons closed his eyes greedily and took a sip.
"As long as you catch her, His Highness the Demon King will be rewarded. Rush in for me."
