Chapter 5: 005: The Woman Who Fell From the Sky [5]

Meanwhile, the servants of the ancient castle were all stunned to the point of dropping their jaws!

When had their noble Highness ever been so close to a person, let alone a woman? And the key point was that His Highness was carrying her himself!

"Clean out the bedroom on the third floor."

"Yes." Two maids responded respectfully and immediately set to work.

The others felt as if something was wrong with their ears. His Highness actually wanted them to clean a room on the third floor?

There were only two bedrooms and one study on the third floor.

One of the bedrooms was where His Highness stayed, and as for the other—did His Highness intend for this woman he brought back to live in it?

This was truly the most incredible thing in history.

Watching the back of their noble Highness as he stepped onto the stairs, they suddenly had the illusion that His Highness had developed worldly desires.

Perhaps, it was not an illusion.

On the path at dusk, orange light scattered sporadically through the leaves, covering the trail.

Suddenly, a blue light flashed ahead. She shielded her eyes, and when she moved her hand away, only the remaining light of the setting sun remained.

She walked a few steps closer to where the light had flashed, only to find a tiny... snake lying on the ground.

It was a pale blue, almost transparent.

"What a beautiful snake..." Jian Xizhu carefully picked it up and curled it in her palm.

The little blue snake moved slightly, as if it had lifted its eyes to look at Jian Xizhu, before falling into a deep sleep.

Jian Xizhu touched the snake's body with concern. "Are you hurt somewhere? You poor thing, I'll take you home."

The girl carefully protected the little blue snake, walking home in the light of the setting sun.

The light of dusk had an inexplicable warmth.

Han Mohen stood before the bed, gazing at the sleeping woman. He still could not understand why he had brought her home.

This behavior, which was not controlled by his own reason, displeased him.

"Ugh..." The woman on the bed groaned softly, and the man narrowed his eyes.

Feng Liyue struggled to open her eyes a slit. She blinked a few times, and in her hazy state, she seemed to see some unfamiliar things, as well as a stranger.

Han Mohen had never seen such eyes. The sliver that opened seemed to let light seep out, as if filled with the most brilliant things in the world. He couldn't help but wonder what kind of radiance would be revealed when they were fully opened.

Feng Liyue fell back into a deep sleep. Han Mohen stood by the bed for a while longer before turning to leave.

When Feng Liyue woke up, it was already the morning of the third day. The sunlight was blocked outside by the curtains, and she quickly adjusted to the light.

Feng Liyue sat up from the bed and touched the quilt covering her. The texture was soft, more comfortable than anything she had ever seen.

She looked around at the tidy and unfamiliar surroundings. Feng Liyue was a bit confused about the situation. Why was she here?

What place was this?

She patted her head, but her mind was a blur. She couldn't remember how she had gotten here.

Where were her father and mother? Where was A-Long?

The more Feng Liyue tried to think, the more her head throbbed with pain.

What on earth had happened to her?

Many, many questions swirled in her mind, and even her memories were unclear!

She only remembered her parents, her uncle and aunt, and A-Long. But who else?

When she was asleep, she seemed to have seen a face. Who was that?

Moreover, it seemed she had been sent away by her parents, but where was she going? Why did they send her away?

She couldn't remember a single one of these questions!

She hated this unclear situation. She wanted to remember something, but her head only became more and more chaotic.
