Chapter 186: Sweet Honey Ashes Like Frost 7
On this day, Ling Xi was playing with the Nightmare Beast in the backyard of Xuanji Palace.
Yes, that little deer is called Nightmare Beast. It feeds on people’s dreams. It is a very cute little beast, and its adorable appearance makes Ling Xi like it very much.
When Ling Xi knew there was such a little beast, it was an eye-opener.
It turns out that there are little beasts in this world that eat dreams. She really didn't know this.
At this moment, Ling Xi saw Runyu who had just returned from his shift. He was dressed in white, gentle and elegant, but his face looked a little tired.
"Your Highness." Ling Xi spoke and bowed.
Runyu noticed that she was bowing to him, and also noticed that her fairy spirit was more obvious than before, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
It seems that she is an ambitious little fairy.
This is good. In this heavenly palace, only if you become strong can you protect yourself.
Ling Xi asked worriedly, "Does Your Highness want to eat?"
Runyu shook his head gently, "No, I'm not hungry. You can play with the Nightmare Beast. I'll go and rest for a while."
Ling Xi: “Yes.”
After saying that, she was dragged aside by the nightmare beast.
The Nightmare Beast got a new playmate in Ling Xi, and this new playmate also supplied it with spiritual power that made it feel very comfortable, so how could it still think of its old master?
Runyu looked at the nightmare beast that was holding Ling Xi tightly and found it interesting. He smiled gently.
The Nightmare Beast rarely clings to people like this. It seems that the new fairy is very much to the Nightmare Beast's liking.
When Ling Xi was touching the nightmare beast, he saw Runyu's back as he walked into the room. His loose clothes made his figure look particularly thin and frail.
Ling Xi held his chin, wondering if the prince was too thin and looked a little weak.
It seems that she has to find a way to nourish him well, otherwise it would not be good for her to eat for free in Xuanji Palace and use the share that belongs to Xuanji Palace.
Oh, speaking of eating, Ling Xi also remembered another thing. The meals delivered from the Heavenly Palace kitchen during this period were all radishes, cabbages and the like, as if there was not a single piece of meat or good food in them. Not only did the meals contain only a little bit of spiritual power, but the taste was also bland.
This prince is a Yinglong. Dragons eat meat. How can a dragon of that size eat cabbage and radish every day? Is this raising a dragon? This is definitely abuse. No wonder his body is so graceful and can be blown away by the wind.
I don’t know whether it was the kitchen’s own decision or someone gave the order.
I just feel sorry for Runyu. I wonder how long he has been living like this.
The next morning, Runyu did not go out. After waking up, he read in the hall.
Ling Xi knew that Runyu liked reading. When she was cleaning Xuanji Palace, she passed by the study and saw that the bookshelves there were full of books, many of which had signs of being read. Since then, Ling Xi added another label to Runyu: a good baby who loves reading and learning.
Ling Xi ran over to Runyu who was reading a book, and did nothing but hold her face in her hands and look at him, her eyes focused and not moving away for a moment.
When Runyu was thirsty, she poured him water; when he was tired, she fanned him. In short, her service was meticulous.
Runyu was holding a book and seemed to be reading, but in fact his attention was attracted by Ling Xi.
Seeing how attentive she was, Runyu's eyes flashed with a smile, wondering what this little fairy wanted to do. After being stared at by Ling Xi's focused and hot eyes for a long time, Runyu's heart was beating up and down, and he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
He put down the book, looked up at the person who had been staring at him, and asked in a gentle voice: "Ling Xi, why are you staring at me? Is there something wrong? Or do you want something?"
Or maybe he wanted to leave, but Runyu didn't say this last sentence.
Ling Xi looked at him expectantly, his eyes burning like the stars that Runyu placed on the Star Platform every day, incomparably dazzling.
Ling Xi said with a smile: "Your Highness, look at how empty our Xuanji Palace is. It's not good to be too deserted. Can I plant some flowers, trees, and raise some small animals in our Xuanji Palace? Is that possible? This way, it will feel a bit like being at home."
Looking at Ling Xi's eyes that were brighter than the stars, Runyu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he was reluctant to say no.
He had lived in the Xuanji Palace for a thousand years and had long been accustomed to its desolation and quietness. This was the first time that someone had asked him to decorate the Xuanji Palace to make it more lively.
Runyu gave Ling Xi a sincere smile, his voice gentle and low, "It's up to you. There are only two of us in Xuanji Palace, and I'm not good at decorating in the past. If you want, decorate it according to your ideas."
Ling Xi was overjoyed. Thank you very much, Your Highness. Don't worry, I will make our Xuanji Palace beautiful. "
Runyu smiled slightly.
He didn't want to plant flowers or trees anymore. Flowers hadn't bloomed in the Heavenly Palace for a long time. The flower world had a grudge against their fairy world and wouldn't bloom a single flower for their Heavenly Palace.
So, these flowers and trees will probably be bare.
With Runyu's permission, Ling Xi began to "build a large scale" in Xuanji Palace. Fortunately, Xuanji Palace was located in a remote area and no one noticed it.
During the past few days since Ling Xi entered Xuanji Palace, she has not been idle except for practicing every day. She has displayed a shameless spirit and has established good relationships with some fairies in the palace. She has also almost figured out the terrain of the entire Heavenly Palace.
Therefore, she found two familiar fairies and asked for some seeds and saplings. She also went to someone who raised spirit beasts and asked for a number of cubs.
It was fluffy and very cute, making Ling Xi happy when she saw it.
So, when Runyu walked into Xuanji Palace again, he found that his Xuanji Palace had completely changed.
You can't see anything from the outside, but once you go inside, what catches your eye are clusters of colorful flowers. Each cluster is small, but they are connected to each other, forming a cluster of flowers.
In addition to the flowers, there is a big tree at every distance, and the trees are also covered with colorful flowers, magnolia, crabapple, pear blossoms, and the flowers on each tree are blooming extremely lush.
When you walk to the backyard, it becomes unrecognizable.
I saw that the originally desolate and empty backyard was divided into several areas, and the arrangements were very clear: emerald green bamboo grew with vines entwined around it, forming a natural fence that enclosed a large area, where many fluffy yellow balls were raised, pecking at food on the lawn.
There was a similar fence on the other side, but the grass on the enclosed lawn was gone. The neatly turned land was shiny and black, and had become a large vegetable field. All kinds of fruits and vegetables were growing actively against the wind. The green vegetables and cucumbers were lush and green, and the red, round, and cute fruits that I didn't recognize were hidden behind the leaves. There were also a few unfamiliar fruit trees with fruits hanging on them standing at the end, full of vitality.
In a corner of the wall, a grape trellis was built, with grape vines winding on it.
There are a few more wisteria trees in the backyard, with strings of purple flowers hanging down from the vines, as beautiful as a waterfall in the sea of flowers.
Under the wisteria tree, thick vines are intertwined with yellow flowers, and two swings hang down, looking leisurely and comfortable.
His originally deserted Xuanji Palace seemed to be suddenly infused with vitality and filled with the breath of life.
