Ling Mengxue approached the painting curiously.

When she saw Xue Ning's portrait, she was a little surprised and couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

"Wow, Lord Tenri, is this really you?"

Just like Xue Ning's initial voice made it impossible to tell whether she was a man or a woman, the gender of the person in the huge portrait hidden behind the curtain could not be determined at a glance.

The only thing that was certain was that the person in the painting was so beautiful that Ling Mengxue couldn't close her mouth.

With the smooth silver hair scattered on the ground, the blue-purple eyes, the gorgeous retro clothes, and the impeccable figure, Ling Mengxue suddenly felt that her current body was far inferior to that of the person in the painting.

"You are really beautiful. I really can't find the words to describe this beauty." Ling Mengxue felt that she was just at a loss for words in front of this picture.

[I have many appearances in the human world. The white fox statue in front is one of them, as is the body in this painting and your current body. When I descend to the mortal world, I occasionally appear in front of the world in the form of a human. This is my special favor to humans. Of course, in the past, there were only a handful of humans who could see me.]

Ling Mengxue could imagine Xue Ning rolling on the ground happily without looking down. The person in the painting was clearly serious and sacred, which really didn't match the frivolous cat...

But no matter what, a beauty is still a beauty, and what a beauty says is usually right, usually... Ling Mengxue comforted herself in this way in her heart.

"Oh, right. I want to ask you a question." Ling Mengxue suddenly remembered something. She rarely showed a serious expression and looked at the calico cat lying on the floor.

"Can I summon your true form?"

[No.] Xue Ning answered her quickly without even thinking.

"Why? Aren't you the most powerful god in Teyvat? Why can't you use my golden finger?!"

[You can't summon me. Even if I'm this weak now, you can't summon me with your current strength.]

"......" Ling Mengxue remained silent. Her own strength was not weak now, but what Xue Ning said might be reasonable. After all, she was once the highest-ranking god in Teyvat.

[If you try to summon my real body to fight for you, I might even drain your strength and kill you. Wouldn't that be a loss?]

Damn it, it turns out to be a golden finger that is completely useless!

The hope that Ling Mengxue had just risen up was slammed to the ground by Xue Ning, and she felt so depressed that she couldn't describe it.

Why is it so difficult to lie down?

Ling Mengxue sighed and looked at the huge portrait in front of her again, her eyes falling on the bottom of the portrait.

"That being said, I still hope you can be of some use!"

[Who removed the remaining black magic from you?!] Xue Ning felt that she should give her a decisive slap.

"It's you, our noble Lord of Justice." Ling Mengxue tried hard to force a smile.

[Stop talking nonsense and hide yourself first. ]

"Ah...? Didn't you say that no one except the Emperor knew about this place?"

"boom!"

Ling Mengxue, who didn't understand what was going on, asked Xue Ning. At this time, the door outside the temple was opened.

"What's going on? Damn it." Ling Mengxue secretly cried out inwardly, "Oh no!" Now she didn't even have a backpack with her. What should she do if she gets into a fight with others and doesn't even have sweet stuffed chicken to eat?

She was so frightened that she jumped up and hid behind the curtain.

Thumb, thump, thump—

The footsteps outside were getting closer and closer to her. Ling Mengxue signaled Xue Ning, who had transformed into a calico cat, to hide inside as well.

The footsteps approaching her were getting closer and faster. Ling Mengxue held her breath, stiffened her body and grabbed the curtain tightly.

[Hide your hair well and don't show it! ]

Xue Ning didn't seem nervous at all. The calico cat giggled and hummed a few times before closing its eyes and lying directly at Ling Mengxue's feet.

Ling Mengxue glared at Xue Ning who was teasing her and resisted the urge to grab this guy's arm and shake him.

Ling Mengxue's anxious heart was about to rise to her throat, but not long after...

".......ah"

What entered her nose was clearly that familiar scent.

This clean, refreshing body scent.

Ling Mengxue's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and before she was mentally prepared, the curtain was suddenly pulled open.

A low laugh came to my ears.

"How did you find a place like this, Snow White?"

Ling Mengxue looked up blankly at the man who suddenly appeared in front of her after pulling open the curtain. As expected, she was right.

Xiao, in this temple filled with Xue Ning's former divine power, the little fairy man with a unique body fragrance is looking at her tenderly at this moment.

Ling Mengxue said hesitantly.

"I didn't even bring my backpack out...how did you know...I was here?!"

"It seems that you really don't know that you stand out wherever you are."

Xiao had the same smile on his face as usual, and he reached out his hand and gently touched her face.

"Besides, you don't even know how to hide."

"..."

"You, look, you saw it..." Ling Mengxue smiled awkwardly.

I haven't seen him for several days, and this handsome face may look no different from usual.

However, Ling Mengxue discovered that the clothes he wore today were completely different from before. He changed into formal clothes that he had never worn before.

That handsome face, which was already so handsome that it made Ling Mengxue sigh, looked even more attractive today.

[Hey, you're drooling.] Xue Ning's disdainful voice entered her mind.

As his warm hands touched her face, Xiao whispered.

"Sure enough, it looks much better than before. That's great."

"That's what everyone who comes to see me says lately."

Ling Mengxue turned away awkwardly and answered. The moment she felt the man's body fragrance, her heart started beating wildly again. What should she do? Xiao looked too handsome today...

"What kind of deal did you make with Tianli without telling me?"

"Hehe, it really makes me sad if you say that." Ling Mengxue herself felt that the smile on her face must be very unnatural. She dodged Xiao, carefully observed her golden eyes, and turned her head away.

I wiped the corner of my mouth subconsciously, luckily, I didn't really drool.

Ling Mengxue decided to evade the topic by talking nonsense.

"Xiao, you know you look particularly handsome today!"

"is it?"

Xiao smiled faintly, and Ling Mengxue felt that Xiao with such a smile was too charming. She clearly felt that her ears were slightly red.

No. Don't be fooled, absolutely don't be mesmerized!

Finally she managed to ask some normal questions.

"Xiao, how did you find this place? From what I heard, this is not a place you can just barge in."

"Well..." Xiao glanced at the calico cat lying beside Ling Mengxue and said casually.

"you guess."
