Chapter 26: The Tree's Shade Sways, the Moonlight Moves, and the Dragon Walks Alone

  Longjing Gongzi was happily playing cards with a child-like melon slice, holding some unknown melon seeds in his hand and throwing them everywhere. I quickly said: "Dragon God, that white young master is not right, he has been friends with Beiluo girl for several days, now she is dizzy and has fainted due to anger and blood loss. That white young master is still together with Yunque girl and Yuexi girl, in order to prevent him from harming people everywhere, please Dragon God hurry up and capture that demon!"

  Longjing Gongzi was only focused on playing cards, and when he drew a long three, he couldn't help but furrow his straight eyebrows. Guapian had originally seen the long three and was delighted, but unexpectedly, the starting hand was a stiff board, and in an instant, his face turned sour.

  Longjing Gongzi burst out laughing and snatched the thing wrapped in melon slices from his hand, swallowing it: "This is your fate, Yu Caihua. Eating this would be a waste for you, better to satisfy my craving."

  "What's Yuhua flower?" I asked curiously despite feeling anxious about Longjing's lazy and sloppy appearance.

  Melon seeds in her eyes welled up with tears: "The jade cicada flower is the interpreter of all things under heaven, eating it can understand the language of all things, the dragon god himself is well-versed in the language of all birds and beasts in the world, coming to the jade cicada flower is useless, just tasting the flavor is the greatest waste."

  "Hmph!" Longjing's nostrils faced upwards, pretending not to have heard, and only then did he glance at me, asking: "Foolish child, what's the hurry? Are you afraid that the pastries I sent will get cold? The Sichuan pepper buds, meat dices, fried sauce noodles, are all fresh seasonal vegetables, quickly bring them for me to eat."

  "I hastily said: 'Dragon God, please forgive me. Mei Cai didn't bring any pastries, it's because she discovered that the White Young Master is harming people! No wonder he doesn't eat anything, turns out he survives on human blood, and sucked away North Luo's blood, almost killing her! Now North Luo has been abandoned by him, and he's harming Yun Shu and Yu Xi! Dragon God, please hurry up and capture the demon, if we're late...'"

  "Drink blood?" Longjing tilted his head and scratched his chin: "This is strange..." As he spoke, his eyes rolled around and a sly smile emerged: "Hehehe, so that's how it is..."

  I took a look at Longjing's confident appearance and hastily asked: "Could it be that the Dragon God has seen through the monster's magic?"

  Longjing smiled and said, "Well, it's not easy to say now, but how can we not go see the excitement? Foolish child, you lead the way, Ben Shen will also go take a look." After another moment of hesitation, Ben Shen looked like this, which was quite eye-catching, but not very interesting, unlike... Longjing spun around in a circle and suddenly transformed into a beautiful woman with a slender figure, delicate features, and a waist as thin as a willow branch. Her face was like a peach blossom, and she smiled faintly, revealing bright eyes and white teeth. Her eyes sparkled, and she was indeed a rare beauty to behold.

  I couldn't help but gape, and the beautiful woman who had transformed from Longjing smiled sweetly: "Foolish mortal, are you going to show off your insect-like teeth for me to see?"

  I hastily covered my mouth, unable to help but praise incessantly: "Dragon God is so divine, unexpectedly able to transform into such a beautiful maiden! Compared to Dragon God, even the most exceptional sisters of the Smoke and Rain Pavilion would likely feel inferior."

  Longjing said with a pout: "Compared to those mediocre and ordinary people, I should be the one who's superior. Since I've mixed in with you at the Smoke and Rain Pavilion, don't go blabbing about my true identity to others."

  "That's natural, even if Mei Cai is foolish, she won't go around proclaiming the Dragon God's affairs everywhere." I hastily patted my chest and guaranteed. Second Master, please calm down.

  "It's great." The beauty smiled again, and her autumn water-like eyes stared at me, leaving me stunned. Guapian wiped away her tears and transformed into a parrot flying onto the beauty's shoulder.

  Inside the Smoke and Rain Pavilion, the sisters were all out with their maids to have some fun because business was slow. Some of them complained that this year's business wasn't going well and they had missed the chance to go boating.

  Yexiang Miss saw me and Longjing, and asked: "Is this the new sister? The business is so bleak, why bother to come and eat at this time, Mr. Mo won't see something like selling his body to bury his father and buy it cheaply?"

  I didn't know how to speak up, but Longjing said first: "The young woman has come to take her husband back home."

  "Bring your husband home?" Not only were my sisters stunned, but I was also stunned. Which play is this?

  Longjing covered her eyes with a handkerchief, sobbing, and said: "My family was originally a grain store in the Western Territory. A few years ago, because of that white young master's personal talent, my parents took him as a son-in-law. I am his legitimate wife. Who knew that this year, the Western Territory suffered a disaster and couldn't collect grains? Coincidentally, my parents also passed away one after another, and our family lost its support. He said business was good in the capital, so he sold all our stored grain for gold leaves and came to the capital to collect grain, hoping to make some money and open a branch here. But months have passed and he hasn't returned. After asking around, I finally found out that he's been lingering at the Smoke and Rain Pavilion. I had no choice but to come to the capital myself to bring him back home."

  "Yu Yu Yu......" Yu Xiang was stunned: "Could it be that you mean to say, you are actually a member of the White Prince's household?"

  Longjing nodded: "Husband is not making progress, it's really hard for the young woman. I heard that he came from Xizang all the way to Beijing, touring mountains and rivers, going in and out of brothels, spending all his gold leaves, and accumulating debts. He might even have to pawn the silver money of the noble land! Now I don't know where he is? Please ask the manager to settle our account, the young woman has pawned her family's belongings, she will definitely pay back every penny."

  "What?" A young servant heard this and quickly ran off to find Mr. Mo.

  Yu Xiang saw the pitiful state of Long Jing and hastily said: "White Lang has a wife like you, it can be seen that he still has good fortune. I only hope that this time White Lang will smoothly follow you back."

  "Thank you for your kind words." Longjing nodded and said, "I hope I can persuade the prodigal son to turn back, or else this young woman and our two children will be reduced to poverty by him, and we'll end up starving on the streets."

  Longjing's disguise was so convincing that if I hadn't seen his transformation with my own eyes, I would have thought he was just a poor woman searching for her husband thousands of miles away.

  A good-hearted sister came over and said, "Although we have fallen into the dust of the world, our conscience has not fallen. Let's take you to find that scoundrel White Young Master and get justice for you."

  The rest of the sisters also agreed, and they all went to watch the excitement without fear of getting burned, and they all followed Longjing upstairs to find the white gentleman.

  No need to look, that little boy is standing outside the door of a flower hall, and the fragrance of flowers is wafting out from inside, where the White Young Master must be.

  Longjing smiled slightly at the little boy, and the little boy was taken aback for a moment before his face turned pale with fear, his knees softened and he knelt down without daring to raise his head.
