Chapter 149 The Heartbroken Shui Bing'e
By the time Qin Mu returned to the Shui family home, it was already midnight, and the night was deep and quiet.
Qin Mu skillfully swung across the rooftops, finally stopping on the roof of a relatively spacious courtyard house.
At this moment, a figure was sitting on the roof, holding a flask of wine in her hand, and continuously pouring it into her mouth.
"Sister Ling Yuan, you're still awake?"
"How can I sleep if you don't come back?"
Ling Yuan took another big gulp, wiped her mouth with a somewhat bold gesture, and looked at Qin Mu.
"By the way, you went to see Xue Qinghe, right? Did nothing happen to you?"
Since Ling Yuan was no outsider, Qin Mu naturally revealed Xue Qinghe's identity.
Upon hearing the news, Ling Yuan's eyes widened in shock, and she didn't even notice the wine jug in her hand fall to the ground.
"She's the Grand Elder's granddaughter? My God, I thought she was dead!"
Ling Yuan, having recovered her senses, clicked her tongue.
She joined the Spirit Hall before Qian Xunji's death. Although she hadn't met him many times, she must have known of Qian Renxue's existence.
Later, Qian Renxue mysteriously disappeared. Everyone asked Qian Daoliu about it, but Qian Daoliu didn't say much at the time, only that Qian Renxue had her own mission.
Qin Mu was not surprised by Ling Yuan's surprised reaction.
After all, who would have thought that the daughter of the current Pope could actually go to the Heaven Dou Empire to become an undercover agent? And even rise to the level of Crown Prince?
After a brief moment of surprise, Ling Yuan calmed down.
Now she only obeys Qin Mu, and nothing else matters to her except Qin Mu.
Even though she heard such explosive news from Qin Mu, she treated it all as mere gossip.
Ling Yuan picked up the wine jug again, wiped the dust off its surface, and continued to drink the wine.
"Now that I'm back, aren't you going back to sleep?"
Qin Mu looked at the spirit kite in front of him and shook his head helplessly.
With Ling Yuan's carefree personality, she naturally drinks quite often, though she is relatively restrained.
"We're admiring the moon; we'll go back later."
Ling Yuan pointed to the round jade plate in the sky. It was such an elegant thing, but in Ling Yuan's words, it sounded so vulgar.
"Alright then, you should go back to sleep early."
Qin Mu stopped arguing with her and, after finding out his room number, immediately jumped into the yard.
However, after Qin Mu jumped into the courtyard, Ling Yuan raised her hand.
Instantly, the spirit kite isolated everyone's aura in the entire courtyard, especially Qin Mu's room, where it completely blocked out the sound.
After finishing all this, Ling Yuan sat on the rooftop in a daze, looking up at the moon with a touch of loneliness, and finally let out a helpless sigh.
Qin Mu had no idea what Ling Yuan had done.
Pushing open his bedroom door and closing it behind him, Qin Mu stepped inside.
Qin Mu had stayed in this room for half a year before, and he specifically instructed that they should stay in the same room again this time, since they were more familiar with it.
At his current level, he doesn't need to rest often, but Qin Mu was exhausted after a long day, either traveling or spending time in meetings.
Too lazy to turn on the lights, Qin Mu was already used to the night. So, taking advantage of the moonlight streaming into the room through the window, he quickly washed up and then undressed and lay down on the bed.
At this moment, Qin Mu, lying on the bed, increasingly felt that something was wrong.
It's too quiet.
Just as Qin Mu was on high alert, suddenly, a slightly cold body pressed against him.
"Who goes there?!"
Qin Mu suddenly turned his head, thinking of releasing the Clear Sky Hammer, but was shocked to find that the person next to him was Shui Bing'er.
"Bing'er? Yes, I'm sorry! I thought this was my room!"
Upon seeing Shui Bing'er, Qin Mu immediately panicked, quickly shifting his body to the side and apologizing to her repeatedly.
Just as he was about to leave, Qin Mu glanced around the room one last time.
This familiar layout is definitely my room! How could this be...?
Before Qin Mu could continue to wonder, Shui Bing'er pressed herself against him again.
This time, Shui Bing'er pressed herself directly against Qin Mu's chest.
"Qin Mu, you've come to the right room. This is your room. I came here by myself."
"Bing'er, what's wrong with you...?"
Feeling the soft, tender body against his chest, Qin Mu suddenly felt his mouth go dry.
At this moment, Qin Mu had already taken off all his outer clothes, leaving only a garment worn close to his body.
Although Shui Bing'er was also covered by clothes, they were perhaps made of silk, a specialty of Northern City, and clung to Qin Mu's delicate body as if they were nothing.
His fingers inadvertently brushed against Shui Bing'er's outer garment, the cool and silky touch instantly igniting a burning passion in Qin Mu's heart.
"Qin Mu, do you think that in this world, if you're born without power or influence, you're really just at the mercy of others?"
"First it was the Elephant Armor Sect, and then it was the Heavenly Dou Royal Family."
"Twice I was almost caught in the crossfire of fate, but both times you came to my rescue."
"Without you, I might have already become someone else's political tool."
As Shui Bing'er spoke, she kept getting closer to Qin Mu.
"Bing'er, calm down! The matter is resolved! Let's move on!"
Qin Mu naturally couldn't just push Shui Bing'er away, but Shui Bing'er pressed herself against him forcefully, and for a moment, Qin Mu felt a chill on his face and neck.
"What if there's a next time? What if someone else comes next time, but you're not by my side?"
"Since they're all going to covet me anyway, I might as well let you have me first."
Even if I have no official title or status, at least I gave myself to you, and I did so willingly.
As she spoke, Shui Bing'er was about to take another step forward.
"Shui Bing'er!"
Qin Mu could no longer hold back. He pushed Shui Bing'er onto the bed, got up, and distanced himself from her.
"Bing'er! You're being too impulsive! I think you need to think this through carefully!"
Qin Mu was thinking of leaving when he noticed that Shui Bing'er's face was covered in tears.
Sobbing immediately filled the room.
"This..."
Any woman would feel hurt if she were so rudely rejected by a beautiful woman in her own bed.
Shui Bing'er was already feeling insecure and anxious, and he had hurt her pride so badly. If he left like this, it would probably leave a real shadow on her heart.
Realizing he had done something wrong, Qin Mu immediately sat back on the bed. After hesitating for a long time, he gently pulled Shui Bing'er into his arms with one arm.
"Bing'er, I acted impulsively just now, but I was also afraid of hurting you..."
"Qin Mu, I know I'm not good enough for you, but am I really that bad?"
"I don't seek fame or recognition, and you wouldn't even accept it if I gave it to you for free?"
Shui Bing'er gently broke free from Qin Mu's embrace, her aggrieved eyes filled with tears that fell like beads from a broken string.
"Qin Mu, I like you."
"I'll just ask you one question: Do you think I'm a terrible person?"
