Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower



Nan Hua raised her head.

At this time, she could sense that Long Qian Xing's tone was low and dangerous. There was even a faint sense of oppression and displeasure from his face that was hard to detect for those who didn't know him much.

But Nan Hua's keen sense clearly sense it and knew that Long Qian Xing didn't seem to like Nan Si very much. Though, she herself was not clear of the main reason.

"He's one of my guards who had been helping to clean up the mess I left behind," Nan Hua replied calmly.

Nan Si could be said to be her shadow guard.

Whenever she did something, there was possibility that some traces would be left behind. Since she had no intention of linking those to herself, Nan Si or Fei Mao would be helping her to clean up and divert the attention to Dark Moon Organization, the organization behind her.

Or just clean it up so that there wouldn't be any traces left.

"I didn't expect your shadow guard to be so young," Long Qian Xing said slowly.

Nan Hua blinked her eyes.

She didn't pay much attention to this before, but she knew that Nan Si was around the same age as Long Qian Xing. It was just that this youth has always been very silent and didn't have much sense of presence.

He would just do his duties as her guard and then disappeared into the shadow once more.

Coupled with his somewhat thin and short stature, he looked relatively small for a man.

Even when compared with Nan Hua, Nan Si was only half a head taller than her.

In fact, Fei Mao himself was also fairly young when Nan Hua first met him, but he was already nearing his thirties by now. There were many young people around Nan Hua in Dark Moon Organization whom she knew.

"His full name is Nan Si," Nan Hua replied slowly. "Just like you taking people and have them bear your surname, I took him to have my family surname."

She was not too clear but she had the faint feeling that Long Qian Xing was feeling jealous right now. It was not like she didn't know feelings at all, but she couldn't associate this word with Long Qian Xing before.

As a person who would always work hard in order to achieve what he wanted, Long Qian Xing wouldn't usually feel envy or jealous of others. He would just smile on the front and silently worked on the back if there was anything that he wanted and wished to have.

Thus, when Nan Hua saw Long Qian Xing's reaction when he saw Nan Si, it took her brain some time to comprehend what Long Qian Xing might be feeling and wanted.

"I see." Long Qian Xing looked at Nan Hua and closed his eyes for a moment, suppressing the desire and emotion that was seeping to come out right now. He knew that if he didn't hold this back, he wouldn't be able to control himself well.

And that was not something he wanted.

Nan Hua watched Long Qian Xing saw his clear gaze again when he opened his eyes. Her black obsidian pupil flickered slightly and she took a step forward.

"Brother Long."

"Yes, Hua'er?" Long Qian Xing asked back, his tone and voice was still a bit low. Seeing Nan Hua so close to him, he wouldn't be a man if he had no desire at all. Her beautiful face was not far from him, looking at him from below with her clear gaze.

"What kind of girl do you like?" Nan Hua asked slowly.

Long Qian Xing was taken aback by Nan Hua's question. His eyes explored Nan Hua's gaze and knew that she was asking him seriously. It was as if she didn't know what kind of girl she herself is.

He took a deep breath. "You are more than enough, Hua'er."

Nan Hua's eyes were still watching Long Qian Xing carefully. She tilted her head. "I can act in different way if you want to."

For her it was easy. Acting as a different person was something that she had done for so many years in her past life. It was to the point that she herself was confused just what kind of person she was.

Those who interacted with her always felt amazed because she could change her behavior so perfectly and seamlessly as long as she was given the instruction. And Nan Hua never thought that it was something strange.

In this world, she just followed the original Nan Hua's personality.

And this kind of personality was also one that gave her some comfort after so many years acting as one. She couldn't even differentiate this personality from her original personality if she had one.

Long Qian Xing looked at Nan Hua and reached out his hand to pat her head. "There's no need. I like you for how you are. There's no need for you to act in a different way just to attract my attention. No matter how you acted, you'll always be the same Hua'er in my eyes."

Nan Hua blinked her eyes, feeling somewhat confused and yet also understand a bit of what Long Qian Xing was saying.

She lowered her head slightly and hummed, "Yes, Brother Long."

"Do you want me to change to a different personality yourself, Hua'er?" Long Qian Xing continued to play with Nan Hua's smooth and silky hair. His voice was low and hoarse. "Or you also prefer me for how I am?"

"Brother Long is good," Nan Hua replied almost immediately and seemed to understand what Long Qian Xing meant. The corner of her eyes bent slightly, showing faint joy and understanding.

Watching Nan Hua like this, Long Qian Xing really wanted to pick her up and then…

He took a deep breath. "Go to sleep."

"Mhm."

Long Qian Xing's gaze deepened as he watched Nan Hua returned to her bed and went to sleep.

He turned his gaze away and rubbed his forehead.

Nan Hua had a lack of understanding in terms of emotion, but he really didn't expect her to ask such a question to him.

At least, it meant she trusted him and wanted to stay with him.

But…

Long Qian Xing walked to his table and silently took out his brush. This would be a long and torturous night….
