Chapter 279.2: Mother Has Gone Missing
Qing Yu acted innocent as she blinked her eyes at him, and then went on to say slowly: “But, you seem to be weaker than I am, especially when you’re hurt, where anyone who can come along….. and do whatever they want with you!”
“Why do I seem to feel that you’re making fun of me?” Lou Jun Yao raised an eyebrow sharply, the expression on his face unreadable as he stared unblinkingly at the young lady, his voice devilishly seductive as he leaned in close to say: “In that case, the next time I get wounded, maybe we should see if I will be able to still gobble you right up!”
“Tsk!”
Qing Yu’s eyes were wide as she glared at him, looking a little embarra.s.sed as she said: “Can that mind of yours think of nicer thoughts instead? Wouldn’t I have to look after you when you’re hurt? So you’d better keep your mind on protecting yourself well. Do you hear me?”
Hearing that, Lou Jun Yao then thuggishly leaned his head onto the young lady’s little shoulder. “Then you must really take good care of me well won’t you? It will be best if you can develop a type of elixir that shrinks a person into a tiny small figure so that you’ll be able to bring me along wherever you go. Don’t you think that is a really good idea?”
“Can you be any more lazy than that? Then you won’t even have to trouble yourself to walk and just get carried around everywhere isn’t it?” Qing Yu scoffed.
This fella was really unbelievably lazy, always either leaning against something or sitting in a limp slouch like he had no bones in that body of his, but it was just impossible to find fault with this fella here.
It was as if he had been born perfect like that, where even such laziness was being elegantly portrayed by him.
“I’ve been discovered. How dull.” Lou Jun Yao’s voice came out in a low alluring laugh, and it carried a somewhat childish mischievous tint.
No matter how mature and steady a man was, when before their own beloved woman, they would come to act like a child, revealing their heart’s most childish side, and it could not be any more true here in this case.
“Little fox, there is something I don’t know whether I should tell you.” Lou Jun Yao was silent for a good while, before he suddenly opened his mouth to say.
“Hm?” Qing Yu looked at him a little puzzledly. “What is it that is making you look so serious?”
Lou Jun Yao narrowed his eyes and said slowly: “When I went to the Divine Healers Sect earlier, Aunt Lan told me that I must protect you and Qing Bei.”
Qing Yu raised an eyebrow. “Is there some kind of a problem?”
“I did not sense any problem with those words, but her tone back then made me feel like she was leaving me with her last words.” Lou Jun Yao said in a deep and thoughtful tone.
Qing Yu was taken aback. She knew that Lou Jun Yao would not say such things for no reason. He must surely know something and that was why he was telling her this.
The man was then heard continuing to say: “I thought it was a little strange and so I went to look into matters concerning Aunt Lan myself in private. I then discovered something that did not feel right.”
“What didn’t feel right?”
“Aunt Lan stayed in the Bright Moon Divine Temple from a very young age as she was the G.o.dly lord’s youngest daughter, and was also his most favourite. It was said that she was a wilful and unruly girl and her cultivation could only be considered to be average among the G.o.ddesses. I also found out that she had never studied Medicine before.”
