Chapter 540: Chapter 539: From Now On, I’ll Take Care of You

Ye Qingying found it somewhat amusing.

Girls who encountered him always just felt frightened and avoided him; who would ever like him?

Yet, fighting over him?

His mood became inexplicably complicated.

"You’re just a little girl, what do you know about fighting over someone?"

When her face was unblemished, it looked quite young, sixteen or seventeen, seeming only fifteen or sixteen years old.

Now, with the essence drawn from her face, she appeared even younger.

She looked just like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old.

When Ye Qingying walked with her in public, his tall frame and masked face led most to assume they were father and daughter.

He only ever saw her as a little girl.

A maiden?

No, just a child.

"What time is it now? How long have I slept?"

"It’s noon, you’ve slept for two days and two nights."

"Two days and two nights!" Ye Qingying was stunned, his body tensing up.

In two days and two nights, Yu Linglong would have nearly reached the border of Beiming.

"What’s the rush? Are you in a hurry to hit the road again? What’s driving the master to the Imperial City in such urgency? Is it to meet a certain girl?"

Xiaoyao stared at him full of resentment.

Ye Qingying didn’t deny it, he indeed had a girl to meet.

Not that he was in a rush to see her, but a promise was a promise, and he needed to fulfill it.

His own life had been saved by Yu Linglong; for years, he had been working his life away for her.

Before Xiaoyao came along, there were many things he didn’t want to think about.

But now it was different.

"Master, were you off to kill someone before?" Xiaoyao suddenly asked.

Ye Qingying’s fingertips tensed, inexplicably feeling uneasy.

And somewhat, burdened.

"Master, are you really an assassin?" Xiaoyao pressed.

In the master’s money pouch, there was now much more gold.

She had known for some time that the master was running out of money, but she had some, a lot of it.

She could support the master.

Unexpectedly, after the master left for one night and returned injured and stained with blood, he also brought back a bag full of gold.

The money was quite substantial, enough for her to live extravagantly for a long time.

The person he killed must have been formidable.

"Do you despise me?" Ye Qingying deliberately kept a stern expression, in truth feeling insecure.

The little girl must hate his hands, stained with fresh blood.

Before, he never thought there was anything wrong with his way of living, but now, in the presence of such a clean and innocent Xiaoyao, he suddenly felt himself to be... very filthy!

Xiaoyao glanced at him, still somewhat resentful, "I don’t despise you, I just don’t want to see you kill again. Even if you choose only the most wicked and sinful, killing is still killing for money. Too much bloodshed is never good."

"Moreover, the more you kill, the more likely you’ll end up being killed. I don’t want to see you take that risk."

She stood up, looked down at him, and for once, there was no hint of her usual playful smile.

She was serious, "Master, from today on, don’t be an assassin anymore. From now on, I will earn money to support you."

...

Ever since the Empress of Longteng Country sent a formal letter of marriage proposal to Beiming, seven days had already passed in the blink of an eye.

It was after these seven days that Long Xinghe informed Feng Wuya.

"I didn’t mean to keep it from you, I just wanted you to get better before we started the journey."

Long Xinghe knew that some people couldn’t be kept.

His heart was not here.

"Wuya, I’ll let you depart tomorrow. I will send you back to meet her, alright?"

Tie Xin’s face suddenly went through a series of odd expressions.

Was the Dragon Maiden really giving up just like that?

He had thought that there was still unresolved business between the Dragon Maiden and their prince.

How could she so readily give up the prince to someone else?

Did the Dragon Maiden not find their prince worthy of another fight?
