Chapter: 010.2
“Ah! Prince, where is Dong Xi?” The girl in his embrace looked left and right and everywhere else. Duan Yu’s face had three black lines. (T/N: It means he speechless and he can’t believe what he’s hearing.) They had already ridden the horse for a long time. Now, she thinks about her servant girl?
“I had Xing Si accompany her. They’re drinking tea.”
Silence.
“Eh?” And, then there was another screech that frightened the heavens and earth enough to cause the spirits to cry.
“What’s wrong?” Duan Yu lowered his head.
“That… that…” QingQiao twisted her sleeves and raised her head. Her face was flushed and her eyes were teary.
“What’s wrong? Why are you so upset?” Duan Yu’s heart was racing. Without his conscious thought, his voice lowered and there was a lingering, hinted appeal.
“Since warrior Xing isn’t here… and you can’t rein the horse… we… would it better to return? Just in case we get attacked by assassins…”
Silence.
Wu wu. What a scary gaze. She quickly stopped talking.

Zuo Qing seemed as if he felt the man’s anger. He spread his four hoofs and ran at a lightening speed. His entire mane flew up. Suddenly, Zuo Qing heard a strange, low voice singing. The voice seemed as if it was intoxicated.
“Freely following the wind,
Chasing after the thunder and lightning’s power, and
Placing the vast ocean into my chest.
Even the smallest boat can sail distant sea voyages,
Oh ~~
Following the wind,
Using dreams as wings,
Daring to love, daring to do, and
Bravely tempering through battling hardships.”
Silence.
Burst ~ The devilish sound burrowed into Zuo Qing’s brain.
Before he could vomit blood, Duan Yu covered the demon’s mouth. The world regained its peace.
A long time later.
QingQiao said in a quiet and delicate voice, “Prince…” Her voice was gently and cautious.
“What?!” He was already past the point of impatience.
“Umm… this doesn’t look like the direction to Gu Estate. Are you sure you’re not lost? Or… are you taking Little Xiao somewhere else? Hey! Hey! Where we going?”
“To. Eat. Meat.” This time, Prince Duan Yu couldn’t stop himself from flying into a terrible rage. He whipped the horse.

Elderly crows perched on withered trees and aged vines.
There was an inn at the horizon. A man with the last name of Qian owned it. He was born with a plain uncle-like face, but his standard for looks was very high. He was still single at thirty.
This translation belongs to fuyuneko. Meow.
Today, Qian ZhangGui was at the front desk fiddling with an abacus. His heart suddenly had a strange feeling, so he raised his head to look at the nearby road. He carefully considered closing the inn early today.
All of a sudden, he saw a golden cloud tangled up with black mist hurtling to the front of his inn.
Clatter of a horse’s hooves. The golden cloud came closer and closer. Qian ZhangGui was finally able to see that it was a galloping horse. On the horse, there was a couple that was closely embraced together. The man had a heroic and compelling presence. The young woman was delicate and sweet. It was a rare sight of a happy couple… but why were their faces so unpleasant?
Before Qian ZhangGui could figure it out, the precious horse had stopped at the front of the inn. The beautiful man vaulted off the horse.
With both hands behind his back, he said to the young girl, “Come down!” His face was ashen and his voice was stark.
“So high… I’m scared…” The young girl shook her head. She shrunk back. Her eyebrows were knitted in distress and her cherry lips pouted. She seemed embarrassed and awkward.
The beautiful man only coldly, “humph.” He wasn’t moved by her actions.
Oh! It seemed as if they weren’t a happy couple. Could they be siblings?
Qian ZhangGui looked at the lovely, embarrassed girl on the horse. His heart was unexpectedly happy.
“Will someone come help me?” The young girl looked around. She pitifully said, “Just lend me one hand please…”
Qian ZhangGui quickly walked forward a few steps. He couldn’t stop his heart from heating up. He saw the beautiful girl extend her hand.
“Go back!” The beautiful man shouted and stared at him with a stern face. He had an overflowing, majestic aura.
Qian ZhangGui could only gloomily retreat and hide himself.
“No one can help you! Figure out a way on your own. You must come down the horse even if it means falling to your death!” After the beautiful man flung down these words, he shook his sleeves and turned around to leave as if he didn’t care about the other’s feeling at all.
This little brother, you’re too cruel! Even if you’re handsome, you can’t act this way. Look at the young girl on the horse that’s trembling in fear. She should be tenderly loved. Oh, little darling, be careful. Uncle will come help you.
Qian ZhangGui’s eyes was full of heart-shaped bubbles.
“… Prince…” The young girl had become panicky. She quickly stammered with a tearful voice, “I didn’t expect that today… merely because of a song… the prince would abandon little Qiao… wu wu… those transmigration novels were liars… originally, I thought the prince would like me.”
Before she could finish saying, “The song I sang”, the beautiful man had dashed back to the horse at the speed of light. With the suddenness of a thunderbolt, he had steadily brought the young girl off the horse. (T/N: How bad could is her singing?)
“Don’t cry. Of course, I like you,” He kissed the young girl’s eyes as he persuaded her. His eyes were full of joy. The entire sky was full of floating pink bubbles.
Bang!
The pink bubbles popped the heart-shaped bubbles. Qian ZhangGui’s pure crystal glass heart was broken.
