His dragonâs horns had grown a little bit, but they still hurt a few times every day. Xi Ning took a look using a water mirror. There were two small bumps on his forehead, which were green in colour.
Xi Ning frowned and touched them. They were a bit hard. âSo ugly.â
Chu Yi dipped his fingertips in the ointment and touched the little dragonâs horns and the surrounding skin. Then he slowly circled and massaged. âItâs not ugly. Your Royal Highness is the best looking person in this immortal palace.â
Xi Ning was a little embarrassed when he heard these words. He lifted his hand and made the mirror disappear. âYou are just coaxing me.â
Xi Ning tilted his head to look at Chu Yi. He suddenly reached out his hands and touched Chu Yiâs face.
Chu Yi was caught off guard and almost couldnât control his force while massaging. âYour Royal Highness?â
Xi Ning also stretched out his other hand, carefully fumbling with Chu Yiâs face, from his eyebrows to his chin.
Was Chu Yi really disguising himself? Xi Ning had been waiting for an answer these two nights. Although the system said that they should leave him be for the time being, he had been thinking about it the whole time.
Chu Yi didnât turn away or move from his position, Xi Ning even pinched his face and he didnât notice the slightest abnormality at all, so he had to withdraw his hand.
âWhy did Your Royal Highness pinch my face?â Chu Yi couldnât help but approach Xi Ning, and boldly grab Xi Ningâs wrist. âDid I hurt Your Royal Highness just now?â
âIâm your master, whatâs wrong with pinching you a bit.â Xi Ning was righteous. He was leaning sideways on the couch, almost falling, Chu Yi stayed by his side so he could catch Xi Ning at any time if he fell. âAre you unwilling to let me pinch you?â
Chu Yi opened his mouth and was about to speak, but he sensed something and turned his head to look. Uncle Rong hurriedly walked over, followed by two people.
Xi Ning followed Chu Yiâs gaze and looked in that direction, and he was immediately in a bad mood.
It was Huo Xiu and in the black robe, following Huo Xiu, was the man that he saw at the banquet last time.
âYour Royal Highness, General Huo is here.â
Uncle Rong led the people to Xi Ning and then left. Xi Ning sat up reluctantly. âHow did General Huo have time to come to visit me today?â
Huo Xiu sat down on the stone bench in the middle of the pavilion, and said with a smile, âI came to see if Your Royal Highness is well or not.â
Anyone who entered his palace should inform him first, except for uninvited visitors like them. Xi Ning has always hated Huo Xiu. Huo Xiu was an eyesore to Xi Ning, and now Xi Ning also had a bad expression looking at him. âSorry, I am feeling unwell today, and it is inevitable that the hospitality will be inadequate. General Huo should go back sooner.â
Xi Ning directly gave an order for the guests to leave. But Huo Xiu sat still and didnât leave. He looked at Chu Yi. âHow can I blame Your Royal Highness for poor hospitality? You might as well take some servants from my place back with you, they are very obedient and understand etiquette wellâ¦â¦â
Seeing that Xi Ningâs expression got worse and he was about to get angry. Huo Xiu changed the topic and said, âItâs true that Iâve come to visit Your Royal Highness. Actually, I also wanted to discuss something with you.â
Huo Xiu has something to discuss with himself, what bullshit. Xi Ning said blandly, âGeneral Huo are you joking, Iâ¦â¦â
âYour Royal Highness did you not know that when the leaders of the spirit clan that came to the immortal palace to attend the banquet two days ago, their intention was to build relationships through marriage,â Huo Xiu said with a strange smile. âHave you heard of it?â
Xi Ning has already heard about it from the system, but now he pretends not to know. âReally? Itâs my fault that I left early that day, and I have to trouble General Huo to come and notify me in person.â
Huo Xiu didnât pay attention to Xi Ningâs sarcasm. He stood up and walked around the pavilion with his hands behind his back and said, âAs for the candidate for the marriage, the Immortal Emperor had a headache thinking about it, so I came here today to discuss this matter with Your Royal Highness.â
Huo Xiu was beating around the bush when talking about this matter. Xi Ning had a bad feeling the more he heard. Huo Xiu had already walked behind his couch. He put his hand on the edge of the couch, and bent slightly to get closer to Xi Ning. âBecause, of all the candidates that were selected for marriage, one of them is you, Your Royal Highness.â
Chu Yi stood silently beside Xi Ning, his head lowered, and his eyes narrowed when he heard the words.
