125: Chapter 124 Moonlight!
(Revised Chapter) 125: Chapter 124 Moonlight!
(Revised Chapter) Atop the treetops in the dark night stood a tall and slender figure.
The master of this silhouette was none other than Li Chen!
Jade Golden Toad, Nine Heart Ice Lotus…
It seems that Yutan Lake really does hold plenty of treasures.
But these people from Lingnan treat human lives like grass, speaking so righteously while doing such things; their behavior is no different from that of the Evil Path.
No, they are even more despicable than the Evil Path.
At least those on the Evil Path openly admit to their wrongdoings and don’t co up with such hypocritical excuses.
Well then, since they want to seize treasures, I’ll just play along.
They’re like mantises stalking a cicada, unaware of the oriole behind; let’s see who will outwit whom.
Having made up his mind, Li Chen quietly retreated.
At this mont, a familiar figure in the distant ravine entered his field of vision.
Is that Ning Qian’er?
What’s she doing here all by herself late at night without sleeping?
Surely she’s not here to admire the moon?
With that thought, Li Chen subconsciously glanced at the moonlight hanging on the willow branches.
Tonight’s moonlight is indeed quite beautiful!
However, this is a wild, desolate place, with wolves appearing from ti to ti.
Isn’t she, a girl, afraid?
Ning Qian’er was sitting on a protruding large rock, her hand supporting her fragrant cheek, quietly gazing at the bright moon at the horizon.
But at this mont, she displayed little leisure or inclination to enjoy the moon.
On the contrary, her pretty face was full of sorrow.
Especially those clear and bright eyes, which at the mont held a tinge of sadness.
Unconsciously, she felt that she had fallen for Li Chen.
And fell hard, at that.
However, Li Chen was the boyfriend of her best sister, Ye Chuxue.
Whether from the perspective of friendship or conventional norms, Ning Qian’er could never cross the line to steal her best sister’s boyfriend.
She had tried to forget Li Chen.
Unfortunately, she had failed!
Whether her eyes were open or closed, her mind was full of his ethereal, celestial-like figure.
She felt like Li Chen was the bright moon in the sky.
Always visible to her, yet forever out of reach, unlike Ye Chuxue, who could embrace it in her arms.
Alas, what should she do?
Just as Ning Qian’er felt mired in a deep quagmire, unable to extricate herself, she suddenly felt a tap on her shoulder.
Turning around, Ning Qian’er received quite a shock.
“Li Chen, what are you doing here?”
Li Chen smiled slightly and said, “You’re not sleeping at this late hour and instead feeding mosquitoes?”
Ning Qian’er pouted and replied, “You’re the one feeding mosquitoes.
I’m here to admire the moon!”
“Look, how beautiful the moon is tonight!”
Li Chen glanced at the moonlight and said, “From a distance, the moonlight is indeed beautiful.
But you would not feel the sa if you looked up close!”
After hearing Li Chen’s words, Ning Qian’er’s bright eyes started to twinkle.
Obviously, she didn’t grasp the hidden aning in Li Chen’s words.
Seeing the puzzled expression on Ning Qian’er’s face, Li Chen did not explain but casually waved his sleeve.
Suddenly, the moonlight was imnsely magnified.
Now, Ning Qian’er felt as if she was right there, her already wide eyes almost popping out.
She could clearly see the Circular Mountains on the moon, as well as the pitted teorite craters.
Up close, the moon indeed could not be called beautiful.
It could even be described with the word ‘ugly’.
Li Chen waved his sleeve again, and everything returned to normal.
“Now that you’ve had a closer look, do you still think the moonlight is beautiful?”
Hearing Li Chen’s words, Ning Qian’er was silent for a long ti, lost in thought.
At that mont, Li Chen suddenly made a “shushing” gesture to Ning Qian’er.
“Shush, don’t talk, soone’s coming!”
Following the direction of Li Chen’s gesture, Ning Qian’er saw two figures crouching and sneaking forward.
She recognized the owners of these silhouettes: Zhang Yingjun and Qu Gang’s girlfriend Ma Xiaorong!
Zhang Yingjun was frustrated that he couldn’t have a taste of Ning Qian’er, Ye Chuxue, and i Ruohua of Lingnan, the three beauties in front of his eyes, which made him itch with desire.
Luckily, Qu Gang’s new girlfriend Ma Xiaorong was impressed by his heroic act of killing a wolf with his bare hands.
The two shared mutual affection and exchanged flirtatious glances, subtly getting involved.
But such things are always a bit inappropriate.
So they decided to sneak out for a tryst while everyone else was sound asleep.
…
Suddenly!
Li Chen’s ears twitched slightly, and from the corner of his eye, he glanced towards the stream subconsciously.
It was Xin Ying and i Ruohua returning.
They seed to have noticed the commotion here too, and i Ruohua, who was always on edge, mistook it for an ergency and bellowed out.
“Who’s there skulking about?
Co out at once!”
Ma Xiaorong and Zhang Yingjun were startled, hurriedly putting on their clothes in a panic.
At this ti, the others were also awakened and flocked to the scene.
Seeing his newly acquired girlfriend and his best buddy Zhang Yingjun together, Qu Gang felt confused.
He rubbed his drowsy eyes, his face full of astonishnt, and asked, “Little Rong, Yingjun bro, what are you doing out here in the wilderness in the middle of the night?”
