People Walking Out of a Painting
After Di Beichen gave the coachman enough money, he returned with the carriage to the Qingxiao Kingdom.
“Hongzhuang, let’s go,” he said.
Baili Hongzhuang turned her head and saw the golden sunlight shining on Di Beichen’s tall and graceful figure. He appeared like a character stepping out of a painting, handsome and elegant.
Di Beichen walked up to Baili Hongzhuang, and his shadow enveloped her. His eyes, as bright as stars, were filled with a hint of laughter, warm as the breeze.
Naturally, his large hand held Baili Hongzhuang’s small hand, and they walked together towards the city.
Baili Hongzhuang held Di Beichen’s hand. His broad palm, hardened from years of wielding a sword, gave her an indescribable sense of security.
“This Qishui City has flying beasts. We’ll go there later,” Di Beichen said, looking at Baili Hongzhuang with a charming and sunny smile.
Baili Hongzhuang raised her head, displaying a bright and radiant smile. “Alright.”
Since she started following Di Beichen, he had already made all the arrangements.
In the past, when she was alone, she had to bear everything herself. But now, having a man who could warm her heart and take care of everything gave her an indescribable sense of happiness.
“We’ve been sitting in the carriage for so many days, and I’m sure you’re tired. Let’s go to a restaurant for lunch, then explore Qishui City. Let’s have a good rest tonight and set off tomorrow. How does that sound?” Di Beichen softly asked.
They had been sitting in the carriage for many days, and Baili Hongzhuang had been resting due to her broken rib. Walking would be good for her.
“I’ll follow your lead,” Baili Hongzhuang replied without hesitation, smiling.
She understood why Di Beichen had made this decision. However, he was right, as lying down for so many days had made her feel uncomfortable all over.
Now that her injuries were healed, she wanted to move around.
“Food, food, food!” Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai clapped their hands, their faces filled with excitement.
They didn’t care about anything else, only food interested them.
The lively shouts of vendors on both sides of the street reached Baili Hongzhuang’s and Di Beichen’s ears. They had been traveling through the forest, and it had been quiet everywhere. Hearing such lively sounds now lifted their spirits.
Baili Hongzhuang and Di Beichen casually entered a restaurant. As soon as they walked in, the rich aroma of food hit their noses, arousing their appetites.
The people who were eating looked astonished when they saw Baili Hongzhuang and Di Beichen.
“Wow, these two look like characters stepping out of a painting. I have never seen such good-looking people before.”
“Just by looking at them, you can tell they are not ordinary. They must be rich and noble. But they truly make a perfect couple.”
“We’ve never had such good-looking people in Qishui City before.”
Di Beichen asked the waiter for a private room and went upstairs with Baili Hongzhuang. Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai were already eager to eat and had no reservations about enjoying their food in the private room.
After spending this time together, Di Beichen had a clear understanding of the temperaments of these two contract beasts.
