The Fourth Lady

Chapter 85 A Tiger's Roar, a Wolf's Howl III

When Murong Jingxuan felt a scent of blood hit his nose, he immediately lifted Qingyan's arm and

found that her arm was bleeding, "Yan'er, what did you do?"

Qingyan looked to her arm and then to her nails, "Perhaps it was by accident, I didn't feel anything..."

He lightly flicked her on the forehead, "You really know how to make one worry."

"Murong Jingxuan, if I were to uproot the entire Jingguo Marquis manor, what do you think will happen

to Ning Siyao?"

"Yan'er, Ning Siyao is already married to Su Ming, even if something were to happen to the Jingguo

Marquis manor, it shouldn't affect Ning Siyao." Murong Jingxuan explained as he brought out an

ointment and applied it on to where it was bleeding.

Qingyan looked to him and shook her head, "But that way, Ning Siyao will be alone without support."

"Yan'er how do you plan on taking care of the Jingguo Marquis manor?" He looked to Qingyan smiling,

"However, regarding that matter with Jingguo Marquis Manor, there isn't much information that the

Fourth Prince was able to dig up. Even the information our Seven Star Hall received isn't a lot. If were

to forcibly get rid of them, there's a possibility of endangering the Su manor as well."

Qingyan coldly snorted again, "That's because you all simply don't know that Ning Changze is

someone from Nanchen. Or rather, it should be said, Ning Changze is the descendent of the Ning

family of Nanchen."

Murong Jingxuan was taken aback by this sudden news, "How do you know Jingguo Marquis is

Nanchen's spy?"

When Qingyan looked towards Murong Jingxuan, she had raised the corner of her mouth, lightly

parting her red lips, "Because I was once the Xianyi Empress!"

Seeing Qingyan like that, Murong Jingxuan couldn't help but to tightly hold her hand. How deeply that

dream had affected her, he would never know, but he knew very well in his heart that the young girl

before him wasn't Qilian Qingyan. She wasn't the Xianyi Empress, who'd fallen from the high clouds

into the bottom of an abyss; she was just the Su manor's fourth miss.

"Jingxuan, I'm fine." Feeling his hand tightening around hers, she lifted her head up with a gentle smile.

"I'm not bearing all the burdens alone by myself, I have you here with me."

Hearing those words, Murong Jingxuan instinctively let out a smile in the dark. On the tiger's back,

Qingyan wore a purple outfit, and that outfit rustled in the sound of the wind. This kind of Qingyan made

him want to watch over for a lifetime.

Before they even drew near, they could already feel the chilliness of the cold forest air, and that cold

light faintly cradled in the darkness. Qingyan just knew they'd already arrived in the wolves' territory.

At first, Murong Jingxuan wanted to hold on to Qingyan's hand, but Qingyan gently smiled to him from

the tigers back, saying to him, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."

For some reason, seeing Qingyan like that, Murong Jingxuan chose to let go of her hand. Perhaps it

was because of trust, or perhaps it was because he felt she was reliable.

The feeling Qingyan had always given him was very reliable. And even without him, his Yan'er can still

continue to live on in this world. Although it was a bit sad thinking about it, they were both carrying

different life's calling on their backs after all.

The white tiger carried Qingyan to the center of the wolf pack. The white tiger and the leader of the

wolves were acquaintances. When it saw the white tiger, the head wolf staggered up before the white

tiger, and even amicably patted it with its paw.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

"Master, this is the leader of the wolves." The white tiger glanced to the girl on its back and growled,

and as if they were responding, the wolves also began to howl.

"I'm called Qingyan and is the white tiger's master." Qingyan stretched her hand out to the wolf king.

The wolf king paced around her for a moment, before suddenly bowing down to Qingyan.

Once the wolf king bowed, the pack behind him all quickly followed suit. That sincere appearance

looked as if they were bowing to some religion.

Being suddenly bowed to by the wolf king like this made Qingyan a bit lost for what to do. In her past

life, although she'd seen many animals and also had the heart to want to subdue a wolf king, Nanchen

didn't raise these kinds of things as pets. So seeing such a scene still made her a bit lost.

"Master, rest assure, this is the wolf king acknowledging you." The white tiger rubbed against her arm,

letting out a long grunt.

Before Qingyan could figure out what was happening, she felt something else soft touching her. That

was the wolf king licking her wrist with its tongue. The intimate manner warmed Qingyan's heart, and

she slowly reached her hand out towards the wolf king.

It seemed to be very happy to have received Qingyan's response. Afterwards, it let out a howl, and the

pack behind it all began to howl as well.

And in that howl, seems to mix in a certain kind of unknown sentiment.

"From now on, you are my master." The wolf king intimately nuzzled against Qingyan's arm.

When Qingyan heard the wolf king say that, she delightfully smiled. Afterwards, she hopped off the

tiger's back and gave the wolf king an intimate hug. Qingyan touched her forehead with its forehead,

"In the future, you can still live here. Wolves are social animals, although you heed my command, you

are still the wolf king."

The wolf king understood Qingyan's words and rubbed its head on her clothes, "What has master come

here for today?"

"My parents are heading back to the capital at the moment. I'm afraid they will meet danger on the way,

so I have specially come to ask you to protect my parents."

"What do you mean by that? Could it be that your parents need to pass through that Forest of Buried

Souls?" The wolf king looked to Qingyan with its glossy round eyes, still gently nuzzling against her

arm.

"It is as such. Unless you assist them, I'm afraid it'll be difficult for them to escape danger." Qingyan

patted it on the head as she said this, "It's not convenient for a girl like me to leave the city. That's why

I've specially come to ask for your helping hand."

The wolf king howled for a moment, and after a while, it rubbed against her arm again, "Master, don't

worry, we will definitely go to protect your parents."

Qingyan looked to the wolf king, and couldn't help but to pull it into her embrace, "Thank you very

much."

Even if Qingyan had thousands of words in her heart, she didn't know how to express it. After all, some

things were still inherently different for humans and animals, especially under circumstances like these.

After discussing the matter with the wolf king, the white tiger once again brought Qingyan back to the

place where she separated from Murong Jingxuan earlier. When Murong Jingxuan saw her, he just

knew she'd already succeeded.

"Seeing you like that, I just know you've succeeded." Murong Jingxuan walked up next to her and

smiled.

Qingyan faced him and nodded, "That's right. Plus, the wolf king treated me very well."

"Natural born fate of the Phoenix, the thousand beasts worship the phoenix. How could it not treat you

well." Murong Jingxuan replied, still with a smile. "But regarding that matter from before with the

Jingguo Marquis, you know far more than what we do."

Qingyan smirked, "The Thousand Beast Pavilion is also an organization that collects information. In

addition, its headquarters is established in Nanchen. That's why they certainly know more than you all."

Naturally, Murong Jingxuan understood very well what Qingyan was implying with her words. He

looked to her, furrowing his brows, "Then how did you find out Jingguo Marquis is from Nanchen?"
