Chapter 21: Dating, Listening to Songs, Eating Candy Figurines

Candy Figurines

"Killing him?" Leng Wuyan shook her head. "If I want to kill him, it only needs a thought, so why should you act?"

Li Ran said, "But this is a boyfriend's responsibility."

Leng Wuyan smiled. "Alright, that's enough."

"It’s not enough. He has to die." Li Ran was really intent on killing Young Master Wang.

He had not only insulted the Sect Master of Youluo Temple but his girlfriend!

Leng Wuyan stood up and pulled him back to his seat. She said, "Actually, he said something right. There are a lot of people talking behind my back around the world. Can you actually kill them all?"

Li Ran gritted his teeth and said, "If I meet one, I’ll kill one. If there are two, I’ll kill them both! Let’s see who else will dare to talk nonsense!"

Leng Wuyan was stunned. Looking at the stubborn boy in front of her, a trace of warmth flashed through her eyes.

"Compared to the Emperor-level, they are all ants. Do you think I care about what ants think?"

"In that case, am I an ant?" Li Ran raised his eyebrows.

Leng Wuyan pouted and rolled her eyes at him. "That’s not what I meant, my lord boyfriend!"

"That's more like it." Li Ran raised his eyebrows and exhaled.

The two looked at each other and smiled. The atmosphere gradually eased.

Li Ran couldn't help but sigh when he heard the clamor next door. "Ugh… I really want to kill him!"

"Alright, today is our first date. Don't let others spoil it." Leng Wuyan comforted him.

Looking at her calm expression, Li Ran's heart was a little confused.

What had she experienced in the past hundreds of years for her to be indifferent to such criticism?

She is a demon, an Emperor-level expert, but at the same time, she is also a woman! When he thought of this, his heart ached.

"Who’s old and ugly? There's no better looking woman in this world than my Master!”

"The reason why Master has been alone for hundreds of years is that those mortals do not deserve to stand by your side!”

"He's just an idiot!" Li Ran was indignant.

Leng Wuyan was a little shy. "I'm not as good as you said…"

"Of course not! Master is the cutest, most beautiful, and most gentle girl I've ever seen. Even the nicest words can not describe you," Li Ran swore.

Even though she had heard Li Ran’s flowery words many times, Leng Wuyan still couldn't resist such a blatant confession.

She lowered her head and buried her cheeks into the fur collar of her robe. She stammered, "I know, I know. You need not speak so loudly."

The gloom in her heart quietly faded, and her eyes seemed to be flowing with stars.

No matter what the world is like. As long as someone liked you in this way, it would be enough.

With something like this happening, they naturally didn’t have any mood to keep listening to the concert.

The two walked out of the Moon Watching Pavillion and slowly walked along the street.

The air during winter nights was exceptionally fresh. The soles of their shoes making slight crackling noises with every step they took inside the snow

The fiery lanterns on the side of the road and the shouts of vendors, matched with the steaming heat, had the ability to calm one's heart and soul.

The ruckus in the mortal world was the most comforting. At this moment, Li Ran saw a certain stall and his eyes lit up.

"Master, wait for me." After saying that, he trotted over.

"Huh?" Leng Wuyan was stunned.

Not long after, Li Ran returned with an amber candy figurine. (note, Candy figurine, Similar to a gingerbread man, but made of candy)

"Take it!"

Leng Wuyan reached out and took it.

This was a fairy-shaped candy figurine. Although its face was not as clear, its clothes fluttered in the air and gave it a kind of immortal-like romantic charm.

Li Ran smiled and said, "When I was a kid, I would eat a candy figurine every time I went out to play. I always choose to eat a hero. I thought that if I ate it, I would be able to become a hero too."

Pfft~

Leng Wuyan couldn't help but laugh. "Then after eating this, will I become a fairy?"

"You already are one."

"You and your sweet mouth."

"Hehe."

Leng Wuyan opened her cherry lips and took a bite.

"Is it delicious?" Li Ran asked.

Looking at his curious expression, Leng Wuyan looked over and said, "You'll know if you taste it."

Li Ran looked at the bright red lip print on it and was stunned.

"Ah!" Only then did Leng Wuyan come to her senses and hurriedly try to put the candy figurine out of Li Ran’s reach.

However, Li Ran's movements were so quick that he had already taken a big bite before she could take the figurine back.

He bit the part stained with red and said ambiguously, "How sweet!"

Leng Wuyan turned her head as her face flushed red. "This is a candy figurine. It would be weird if it was not sweet."

"It's different. This time, it's not only sweet, it also has the fragrance of rouge." Li Ran smiled wickedly.

"So cheeky! I don’t want to talk with you anymore!" Leng Wuyan stamped her feet in embarrassment and walked forward.

Li Ran quickly followed. "Master, please give me another bite."

"No, this is mine!"

"Just one bite."

"No! You've already bitten off the fairy's head!"

The bright moon reflected the two of them, and their figures in the snow grew longer and longer, gradually melding together.
