Chapter 275: The Dogged Moon Goddess! The National Advisor Doesn’t Like Women with Little Bellies!
Although the guests of Feixue Pavilion had already dispersed, the atmosphere was unusually heavy.
All the disciples wore worried expressions.
They knew that the Snow Maiden might not be able to get through this challenge.
Now, in the Yan State, no one could balance out Lord Yan Chun’s power.
In the backyard, flowers were falling in profusion, and autumn had quietly arrived.
The fallen leaves under the trees seemed to announce the impending fate of Feixue Pavilion.
No matter if the Snow Maiden went or didn’t go this time, Feixue Pavilion was destined to reach its end.
If she didn’t go, Feixue Pavilion would no longer exist in the future.
Without her as a pillar, the Snow Maiden Pavilion would also decline.
“Snow Maiden Sister, are you getting married?”
Suddenly, a little girl with horn braids shook the Snow Maiden’s fair jade hand and asked in a crisp voice.
The Snow Maiden came to her senses and lowered her head to look at the youngest disciple of the Snow Maiden Pavilion.
“Get married? Who told you that?”
The little girl’s chubby face was filled with seriousness as she said, “The older sisters all say that someone will come to take you away in a few days, and then you won’t come back. Are you really going to get married?”
The Snow Maiden chuckled in silence, but her smile was filled with sorrow.
If it were truly a marriage, that would be fine, but she feared that once she left, she would only become someone else’s plaything.
Marriage should be mutual affection at the very least.
“Don’t listen to their nonsense, Sister won’t get married.”
“Really?”
The little girl blinked her bright, twinkling eyes, looking at her with anticipation.
The Snow Maiden bent down, her flowing skirt accentuating her alluring figure.
Curvy and graceful.
It looked very touchable.
She affectionately rubbed the little girl’s head.
Slightly squinting her beautiful eyes, she forced a smile and said, “Of course it’s true, Sister will never get married in this lifetime.”
After saying that, she straightened up.
She truly never had the thought of getting married and had never considered the matter.
For her, the Snow Maiden Pavilion was her home.
The disciples here were her family.
Before her master passed away, he entrusted the Snow Maiden Pavilion to her. If it fell into decline under her watch, what face would she have to face her master in the Nine Springs?
Moreover, even though she seldom went out, she had seen countless people.
In her eyes, all the men in the world were the same.
They only saw her body and just wanted to possess her.
Today, Lord Yan Chun threatened and tempted her in front of so many people, yet no one dared to stand up for her.
The Snow Maiden didn’t genuinely want someone to confront Lord Yan Chun for her.
Rather, from this alone, she could see that she was only a plaything in their hearts.
A plaything, how could she be worth their desperate rescue?
These people, even if they were to follow one of them in the future, would not be able to protect themselves.
In the absence of ability and background, having extreme beauty is not necessarily a good thing.
Although she is merely a dance maiden, her inner pride is unmatched by anyone.
It’s better to be oneself than to settle for less.
They can only see their own beauty, yet they have no idea what their hearts are truly like.
There are countless men in the world, but none compares to a blind man.
The Snow Maiden suddenly froze.
Then she revealed a self-deprecating smile.
How did he come to mind?
“Xue Er, let me take you away.”
Suddenly, a voice echoed behind the Snow Maiden.
A refined and handsome young man with a melancholic aura stood a short distance behind her.
“Leave? Where are we going?”
The Snow Maiden could tell who was speaking without turning around.
Gao Jianli clenched his fist tightly and said earnestly, “I will take you out of Yan State. The world is vast; there’s nowhere we can’t go!”
The Snow Maiden smiled gently.
A trace of desolation graced her stunning features.
She turned to face Gao Jianli.
Her gaze was unusually calm as she said, “Do you really think I could still leave this Yan Capital now?”
Gao Jianli fell silent, the anger and helplessness in his eyes intertwined.
Since Lord Yan Chun had said such things today, he naturally was not afraid that the Snow Maiden might choose to leave.
He didn’t even need to send people to guard outside the Feixue Pavilion.
The disciples here were her greatest vulnerability.
If she were to leave, these people’s lives would also come to an end.
Gao Jianli was just a qin master.
He was a qin master who knew a bit of swordplay and was proficient in music theory.
Other than that, he was no different from ordinary people.
Faced with the powerful and influential Lord Yan Chun, who had many underlings, Gao Jianli felt powerless.
The Snow Maiden knew of Gao Jianli’s feelings for her.
A beautiful dance must naturally be accompanied by beautiful music.
However, to the Snow Maiden, Gao Jianli was merely a good partner.
And nothing more!
The Snow Maiden knew her limits; aside from performances, she rarely interacted with Gao Jianli in private.
“Because she knows that the more they interact, the more hope he will feel.
This is a paranoid person.
The Snow Maiden doesn’t like this type.
“Have you ever thought about what would happen to them if I left?”
The Snow Maiden lowered her head and gently stroked the little girl’s head.
Gao Jianli glanced around.
In the corner of the courtyard, in the corridor, behind the archway, pairs of eyes were looking this way filled with trepidation.
They also understood what it would mean if the Snow Maiden left.
Gao Jianli felt as if a stone were lodged in his throat, unable to utter a word.
The Snow Maiden smiled slightly and said, “Little Gao, don’t worry about this matter.”
Gao Jianli’s gaze hardened, his voice a bit somber: “Don’t worry? Are you going to let me watch as he takes you away?”
The Snow Maiden stared at him unblinkingly: “What else can you do besides taking me away?”
“I…”
Gao Jianli was speechless!
He couldn’t do anything!
The Snow Maiden’s expression softened.
She didn’t mean to belittle or mock Gao Jianli, just wanted him to see the reality.
He couldn’t do anything, just like there was no possibility between them.
It was a predetermined situation!
“Listen to me, don’t worry about this, I have my own way.”
The Snow Maiden withdrew her gaze from his face, her jade-like fingers playing with the little girl’s braided hair.
As if suddenly realizing something, her mood became lighter.
“What method could you possibly have? If you really had a way, you wouldn’t have been forced to this extent. Are you really planning to go to Lord Yan Chun’s mansion and exchange yourself for everyone’s lives?”
Gao Jianli gradually lost his composure, tightly clenching his fists, filled with resentment as he questioned.
“Little Gao, I’ll remind you once again, this is my matter, you don’t need to worry about it.”
The Snow Maiden was also getting angry.
Gao Jianli was obstinate, and she was stubborn.
The two of them were like two sharp swords; when they came together, either one would hurt the other or they would hurt themselves.
How could such two swords fit into the same sheath?
“If it can’t fit, then don’t force it. Just eat until you’re seven or eight points full, it’s enough. If you don’t exercise at night, it’s easy to digest.”
“I’ve got a bit of a belly now.”
Today, Li Mo was in the mood and personally cooked a few dishes.
The Moon Goddess, with a submissive heart, seemed determined to finish all these dishes.
With her slim figure, she normally could get full after just a few bites, but now she was stuffed to the point that her little belly was poking out.
Li Mo knew she was just forcing herself.
“You and your senior sister can work off your meal later, what about you?”
Finally putting down her bowl and chopsticks, the Moon Goddess suppressed a burp that nearly escaped and said, “I’m full now.”
Fei Yan cast her a sideways glance, smiling without saying a word.
Except for Donghuang Taiyi’s orders, her junior sister had never been this obedient before.
“If you’re full, it’s better to take a stroll outside; sitting too long can lead to indigestion, and you’ll end up with a little belly.”
At these words, the Moon Goddess touched her slightly protruding belly.
Remembering how Li Mo would lean his face against her senior sister’s flat stomach while sitting in the carriage, a trace of worry arose in her heart.
He doesn’t like women with little bellies!
Just as she was about to stand up and go out, Li Mo called her back.
“Get another pair of utensils?”
Fei Yan and the Moon Goddess looked at him in confusion.
Li Mo took a bite of rice and said, “Someone who can help us finish this food has arrived.”
