Ling Shan Jun - 3.1

When Qing Shi Jiui woke up, he felt something was not right; as if he was resting on something.

He quietly opened one eye and before his eye was a fuzzy flesh-colored skin.

“…”

As expected, something was not right.

Qing Shi Jiu gently lifted his arm and jaw resting on Ling Shan Jun’s body. He slowly moved backwards with his hands and feet until he reached the wall. This bed was not big, so no matter how he moved, the gap between the two people was not that much.

Ling Shan Jun eyes were closed, his sleeping posture was extremely steady like a mountain blocking the edge of the bed. It was impossible for Qing Shi Jiu to stand up but he was definitely wide awake. He stared at LIng Shan Jun with his eyes wide open.

Even his side profile was so good-looking.

Qing Shi Jiu had mixed feelings in his heart. For a moment, he thought of how the rumor about “Ling Shan Jun was an old man” got circulated and in another moment, he wondered how was it that Ling Shan Jun was blind but was no different than any other ordinary person. Heard that the clay baby dolls said that there were books in the house, did Ling Shan Jun read books often? He was blind, how did he read books?

He wondered endlessly going off on tangents, and then Ling Shan Jun suddenly moved. Qing Shi Jiu hurriedly closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

As Ling Shan Jun got up, the clay children entered the room a little bit noisily, and he softly scolded: “Don’t be noisy, Madam is still sleeping.”

The tips of the pretending-to-be-asleep Qing Shi Jiu’s ears turned red.

After that, the sound of the doors closing could be heard and all movements in the room had ceased.

Qing Shi Jiu speculated that he should lay in bed for a while, and then he got up, too.

Outside the room, Ling Shan Jun was sitting cross-legged at the table. He was holding a knife in one hand and holding a shiny yellow fruit in the other, when he moved, the fruit peel would fall.

Qing Shi Jiu clearly remembered that Ling Shan Jun was blind, and when he saw this scene he became inevitably nervous: “Let me do it.”

Ling Shan Jun welcomed him with a smile: “No need, this is the last one.”

As he said this, he patted the small bowl next to his leg, and as expected, inside contained three peeled fruits.

“Today, there’s guests coming. They’re my friends. They heard that I got married and wanted to come see my wife.” Ling Shan Jun said, “According to the rules of the Ling Qin Clan, a small happy box needs to be prepared. What things do you put in the small happy box, tell me about it.”

He was going to meet Ling Shan Jun’s friends.

This situation had made Qing Shi Jiu nervous again. When he was done chatting with Ling Shan Jun about the small happy box, he rushed back into the room to get the mirror. He carefully looked at his face and raised his hand to pinch his skin.

Kong Ling said that the Disguising Appearance Pill would last up to ten days. He settled down a little bit, lowered the mirror, and scoffed at himself. Sure enough, he was not suitable for doing big things; a little wind blew past the grass and he immediately reacted like it was a big enemy.

Ling Shan Jun was so generous, from Xiao Yu’s pond, he dredged up some Mermaid’s Tears to substitute for the golden beans in the red envelopes.

In total, there were three small happy boxes, which means that there were three people visiting.

In the afternoon, Ling Shan Jun urged Qing Shi Jiu to go take a nap. For him, this was a very new novelty. As a long-time servant from morning to night, he had to be alert at all times and waited to be summoned. When he was still young, he had opportunities to take a nap for a few years. Now Ling Shan Jun was urging him to take a nap, his heart actually experienced some hard-to-explain feelings.

He rolled around for a long time before he was able to sleep. When he woke up, the sky was already dark.

The door of the room was closed and everything was extremely quiet.

Qing Shi Jiu was startled and he hurriedly got up to get dressed. He did not know whether the guests had arrived or not.

He pushed open the door and came face-to-face with someone that was not too far away.

That person wore a red robe and between his eyebrows there was a symbol. He squinted his long, narrow eyes to evaluate Qing Shi Jiu. His expression was somewhat indifferent.

He opened his mouth, his voice was cold and cheerless: “Kong Ling of Peacock Residence?”

Qing Shi Jiu immediately knew the identity of the person in front of him. He was surprisingly calm and remembered accordingly the style that Kong Ling usually used to greet the Peacock Lord. Therefore, he followed the existing pattern without modification and greeted the other person: “Your Royal Highness Phoenix.”

Phoenix turned around and shouted: “Ling Shan, your wife is awake.”

Ling Shan Jun’s voice came through: “If he’s awake, then let’s eat.”
