An Ethics Book
She smiled when she saw his face turn pale when he heard her words and comforted him: “Don’t be nervous, I am just saying it casually.”
“I, I don’t hahaha…. I won’t dare next time, hahahah…..”
Gray Wolf hastily expressed, even if he was beaten to death he would never dare to peep at them again. Fortunately the punishment was from My Lord today, if it was from the Ghost Doctor then it would be a tragedy. Moreover, he hadn’t known her to be one to speak casually either.
It was just that he hadn’t seen her for a long time and had forgotten his losses at her hand.
Feng Jiu was chatting to Gray Wolf for a while. Mostly, it was her doing the talking and Gray Wolf was laughing. When she figured Xuanyuan Mo Ze would have finished taking his bath, she stood up and said to Gray Wolf: “Alright, I won’t keep you company anymore, take your time laughing! But don’t laugh too scarily, it’s night time now, if you laugh sharply and hoa.r.s.ely, you will scare people.”
As soon as her voice fell, she waved her hand and walked towards the main courtyard in Gray Wolf’s unstoppable laughter.
When she had returned to the main courtyard, she saw a certain someone wearing his inner robes sitting on the bed. He was leant against the headboard reading a book when he saw her enter. He raised his eyes and cast her a glance: “You’re back? The bird’s nest is on the table, eat it while it’s hot!”
Feng Jiu looked over at the table and saw a stewing pot and a small bowl next to it. She asked: “Have you eaten?”
“I don’t really like this, you eat it!” He flipped through the book in his hand and replied without raising his head.
Upon seeing this, Feng Jiu sat down and scooped a bowl of bird’s nest and began eating. Compared to the ordinary bird’s nest, the blood bird’s nest was much more nutritious and nouris.h.i.+ng. The taste was also stronger and smoother.
Since Xuanyuan Mo Ze said he wasn’t eating then she would help herself. Bird’s nest had no effect when men consumed it anyway, this type of bird’s nest was only suitable for women.
“What book are you reading?” She glanced inside towards the book and asked. What book was he sitting on the bed reading? Why was he so fascinated?
When Xuanyuan Mo Ze heard this, the hand flipping the book paused and he glanced outwards. After he had made sure that she couldn’t see it, he cleared his throat and replied: “It’s my ethics book.” Lying openly, even he felt a little embarra.s.sed and he looked a bit uncomfortable.
When he thought that she was just about to finish eating, he closed the book. On the cover of the book, it did indeed read Ethics Book, as for whether the contents of the book was really ethics, only he himself knew.
She watched him close the book and put it under the pillow before he got up and walked out to the table to sit down. When he saw that she had finished the bird’s nest, he said: “Tomorrow night, I will tell the kitchen to boil cordyceps soup for you! Change it to something else!”
“If I eat like this everyday, what happens if I become fat?” She put down the bowl and asked with a smile.
He looked at her thoughtfully: “Apparently, it’s nicer to feel more flesh on a woman.”
Feng Jiu rolled her eyes. Indeed the thoughts of a man, his direction of thought was completely different from that of a woman.
“It’s getting late, I will go back first, see you tomorrow!” She stood up to leave. She had planned to go back to take a bath then have a good night’s sleep and think about what he had said earlier and how she could surprise him.
“Mmm, go back and go to sleep earlier.” He nodded his head and hadn’t asked her to stay because in that same courtyard, after he had seen her to the door, he would return to his bed.
However, he was unable to fall asleep as he lay in bed, his mind was swimming with thoughts of her. Maybe it was because he had read the book, some of the enchanting pictures had subconsciously creeped into his mind…..
