Lost & Found (246)

bit cool.“What are you doing” he pushed my forehead back with two fingers, “This isn’t your room. What do you think you’re doing”He chuckled softly, lowering his head slightly. His voice held a hint o...Jiang Qiyun sat on the window sill, her long fingers fiddling with the Kongming lock.

"What is this" I asked, leaning closer.

"...This was made from peachwood of Taoshi Mountain, a place known as the Gate of Ten Thousand Ghosts. This peachwood wards off evil spirits and possesses powerful mystical energy that can seal ghostly qi. It was crafted into the Kongming Lock, used to conceal objects from the underworld so they cannot be found...such as that missing badge."

Jiang Qiyun methodically started to take apart the Kong Ming lock.

The prototype of the Kongming lock is the ancient Luban lock. Its principle is based on the mortise and tenon structure of ancient building techniques. There are thirteen common styles of Kongming locks, and while a 24-sided Kongming lock appears complex, it can be disassembled step by step as long as you understand the principle and have patience.

I watched his nimble fingers moving, a little envious in my heart. Such beautiful hands, wouldn't it be easy to pinch the seals Unlike my short little hands, complex seals are so tiring to pinch.

He looked up at me: “….Mu Xiaoqiao, are you bored”

"...How Can't even take a look"

He raised his hand and lightly tapped my forehead with his finger: "If you're so free, go take a shower. Who kept me waiting all night before Don't you intend to settle the score, with interest"

Well, my bold invitation seems to have gone down the drain. Could he still be holding a grudge

He seemed to not want me to disturb him, waving his hand for me to leave.

I quietly got up and took my nightgown off to take a shower. This guy is really demanding, used to being called upon and dismissed at will

After I finished washing and drying my hair, I glanced at him. He was still intently fiddling with the lock.

He was so focused, his eyes completely oblivious to the fact that I was watching him.

Never mind… Seeing him like this, I'd better just sleep by myself.

My small bed is no match for the carved moon cave bed in Yijingtian Palace. Ancient people believed that bedrooms should be designed to gather qi and shelter from wind, paying attention to ventilation and sunlight while also ensuring shade and protection from gusts.

That's why moon-shaped beds all have bed curtains. When the curtains are pulled down, that bed becomes a private world for just two people.

The wisdom of our ancestors was extraordinary; their science, viewed by some descendants as feudal superstition, was actually the most cutting-edge science of its time in the world.

For example, the size of a bedroom. The emperor controlled vast lands and his palace was magnificent and grand, but the bedrooms within were still only so small. Why is that

Humans have an aura, and a too large bedroom can cause the body's aura to disperse. It is said that the average aura range of a person is about thirteen square meters. If a couple lives together in one room, a bedroom size below thirty square meters is more suitable.

Also, because the room is too big, people's spirits can be easily affected, feeling empty or hearing strange noises. At night, sleep may also be disturbed.

Let me see, this small room of mine is sixteen square meters without the bathroom. It's a bit cramped for two people.

Actually, there's a large bedroom of about 20 square meters on this floor, corresponding to my dad's room downstairs. But my dad said that a girl living alone shouldn't live in a too big room, so I left it empty for now. Maybe I can change it into a children's room later It just happens that there are two babies, and two sets of children's furniture would fit perfectly.

I was getting sleepy and started to doze off. I tried to glance back, but Jiang Qiyun was still fiddling with that Kongming Lock. Whatever, I won't bother him.

The bed behind him sank slightly, a clear voice ringing in his ear, tinged with displeasure: "…Why didn't you call me"

"Look, you're busy..." I was already half asleep. What time is it now Has he figured out that combination lock yet

He pressed his forehead against mine, sighing softly, "...Not holding you all night, my palms feel so empty...Xiao Qiao, I even doubt you're a demon in my heart."

Heart demons

"...That should be me bullying you, why have I been bullied by you all the time."

Jiang Qiyun looked up, his eyes piercing in the night. They were like a mesmerizing fire, beckoning one step by step towards a sacrificial altar in the abyss, possessing both an alluring charm and a fatal attraction.

He stared at me, his eyes domineering and provocative: "... So what if I bully you"
