Thousand Face Demonic Concubine Chapter 123.1

Chapter 123.1 - She’s injured

Lou Qingwu and Xiahou Qing went to a Qingyi building (restaurant/leisure building) not too far away from the third prince’s residence.

They went to a private room on the second floor, near the window.

Outside was the largest Huai river in the capital and because it wasn’t night time yet, there were a few leisure boats floating on the river, floating with the wind in a picturesque way.

It couldn’t be doubted that even though Xiahou Qing had left the capital for a few years, he still had a pulse on everything that happened within the capital.

Just from how he was about to choose this Qingyi building meant that you could see his intentions.

His choice was definitely made to curry favour with a young girl.

Even those who were in foul moods would feel happier just seeing the beautiful and idyllic view outside.

Furthermore, the man opposite was handsome too, he was able to speak well and in just a few words, could bewitch a girl to the point where she couldn’t even remember her own name.

“Qingwu, try some of this store’s cakes and see which one you like?”

Xiahou Qingwu picked up a clean pair of wooden chopsticks and placed them in the tray in front of Lou Qingwu.

The cake was made of three colours, it smelled sweet, faintly of plum blossoms but on closer inspection, it also didn’t seem to be.

Lou Qingwu tried a bit, the moment she put it in her mouth, it melted.

Inside her mouth, the fragrance remained, it was definitely something of high quality.

She nodded and put down her chopsticks, smiling at him.

“It really is Qingyi building’s three coloured cake. To be able to capture the lotus seed’s lightness, the jujube’s exquisiteness and the wintersweet’s fragrance altogether, really made it something unforgettable.”

“Ha ha, as long as Qingwu likes it, it really wasn’t a waste of my time trying every single item on this restaurant’s menu.”

When Xiahou Qing spoke, he looked into Lou Qingwu’s eyes deeply.

His dark eyes were bright and reflected her, giving the feeling that he was truly only devoted to her and would only enchant her.

Lou Qingwu looked at him straightforwardly, her eyes gentle as she looked down when she heard him speak.

From Xiahou Qing’s angle, it was a young girl being bashful.

“How could the third prince have eaten everything here? Please don’t joke with Qingwu.”

Xiahou Qing’s eyes grew deeper and gentler, “Qingwu, how could I joke with you like that? I can sincerely promise that everything I say is from my heart, and only someone as beautiful as you, Qingwu, could compare to how proud the peach blossom is, to make someone ... “

-- Qingwu, you’re the best girl in this whole world, and only you, could help me so sincerely.

Xiahou Qing’s words were like a nightmare, drilling into Lou Qingwu’s ears.

Her lowered eyes hid a coldness, as if she’d turn into a demon in the next second to hatefully bite into the man opposite her, into his neck and suck all of his blood.

But Xiahou Qing continued, speaking as emotionally as he could.

It was only a pity that the girl opposite to him had her head down, her expression was unclear.

But he could see her hands on the table, as if she was anxious, were slightly shaking.

Xiahou Qing’s eyes flashed arrogance as he purposely lowered his voice, making his voice even more pleasing to hear …

Lou Qingwu’s chest started to heave up and down, she’d overestimated her ability to restrain herself.

Right now, just hearing his voice made her want to smash the three coloured cake that she’d only taken one bite of, onto his face.

But she knew she couldn’t …

Just when Lou Qingwu couldn’t hold it in and was just about to tell him to shut up, she suddenly heard a zither sound.

The cold and clear zither sound was like a clear fountain of water, washing away all of the impurities in her heart.

Lou Qingwu slowly calmed down.

When she raised her head up again, her small face was red as she quickly snuck a peek at Xiahou Qing before quickly turning away.

“How could I be so beautiful? Third prince is definitely joking.”

After she finished speaking, she seemed to have heard the zither sound again.

She quickly turned her head around to look outside the window, “Ah, it seems like someone’s playing the zither. It sounds beautiful, why don’t we go take a look?”
