I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse-Chapter 1930 - 1932: Miss, Won’t This Man Freeze to Death?

You really couldn’t listen anymore, inwardly thinking this was probably another scatological play, and you clearly had no interest in dealing with it. Slowly standing up from the branch, just as you were about to leave, he noticed that the window of the small building, from where the sound of the guqin had come, slowly opened. Then a young woman quietly climbed down from the second floor using a rope. What caught your attention was that after the woman landed, a maid upstairs slowly passed down a guqin. After obtaining the guqin, the woman and the maid who had jumped from the second floor together secretly fled through the back door of the small courtyard.

"What are they playing at?" you shrugged helplessly, then leapt onto the wall by the moonlight, landing on a distant rooftop before the guards on the perimeter noticed.

Although it was difficult to discern your location in the courtyard at night, by taking advantage of the height and circling for ten minutes, you finally returned to your own courtyard.

You like peace, so the original servants in the courtyard were all dismissed. You didn’t even bother to summon a cook, as you thought wherever you wanted to eat would suffice, and you didn’t need an idle person in the courtyard who could also disrupt your actions.

"Ha—I’m sleepy, so sleepy." You yawned as you pushed open the main door, entered the courtyard, and headed to your bedroom.

As you passed through the main hall, a faint voice suddenly came from the darkened hall: "Is it, Son of Wang?"

You initially thought you were imagining things, but after taking a few more steps, that pleasant yet pleading voice came again: "Son of Wang, please wait."

As she spoke, two petite figures walked out of the hall. At this moment, the bright moon emerged from the clouds, and the moonlight poured down, allowing you to see their faces clearly.

The leading woman was not only beautiful but also possessed a very unique temperament that would evoke a strong impulse in people to protect her. However, listening to her words, you realized she had found the wrong person.

"Miss, you’ve got the wrong person, I’m not Wang Can." You yawned, not actually tired, but doing so to indicate that you were going back to rest.

In the moonlight, the woman naturally saw your face, and upon seeing it, she realized she had mistaken you. She then gracefully bowed to you: "This lady is Cai Yan, greetings to you, sir. May I ask if this is the residence of Young Master Wang Can?"

Waving your hand, you casually pointed in the direction of the noble district of Jingzhou City and said, "This can only be considered a secondary residence. Wang Can is getting married tonight, so I’m afraid he can’t entertain you two. Currently, I’m temporarily staying here. If you’re looking for Wang Can, upon exiting, take a left and go thirty meters, then turn right, walk about five streets, and you should reach it. When you leave, please close the door for me. Thank you." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

You yawned and went back inside.

Cai Yan looked at your tall figure, wanting to speak but hesitating.

"Miss, what should we do?" The maid, though not as beautiful as Cai Yan, was at least a budding beauty. In modern times, with a bit of makeup, she could still be a campus beauty.

Cai Yan frowned, her pretty eyebrows furrowing with indecision.

"Miss, I think we might as well stay here temporarily. Anyway, Liu Qi wouldn’t expect us to be here."

Although tempted, Cai Yan still hesitated, as there was already a strange man residing in the courtyard.

The maid had been with Cai Yan since childhood and could read her mind with just a glance. She laughed and said, "I think this gentleman is just staying temporarily. He’s not the owner, and with Miss’s relationship with Young Master Wang, he wouldn’t refuse Miss’s request. Besides, with Young Master Wang newlywed, it would be inappropriate to disturb him. It would be better to hide here for a while."

"It seems that’s our only option," Cai Yan sighed softly.

Somewhat familiar with this residence, Cai Yan’s maid chose a room farthest from your bedroom for Cai Yan, and the two of them settled in.

Just as dawn was breaking, the maid assisted Cai Yan in rising, and when they stepped out of their room, they found a man in the courtyard, bare-chested, sitting in the biting cold wind.

"Miss, what is he doing?"

Cai Yan shook her head. Though a lady from a noble family, after leaving Chang’an, she roamed from place to place, yet she had never had much contact with strangers, especially bare-chested men.

At this moment, you slowly opened your eyes, and upon seeing Cai Yan and her maid, you frowned slightly and said, "Why haven’t you left yet?"

"Hey, this residence isn’t yours. Why drive us away?" The loyal maid immediately retorted to you.

You suddenly grinned, your face instantly turning cold, looking at the maid with a frightening expression: "Little girl, on any other day, I would have already pierced your head, hung you on a pole, and sliced off the tender flesh from your body bit by bit to feed my man-eating hounds."

The maid was struck with fear, immediately retreating behind Cai Yan, not daring to peek at you again.

"Sir, please calm down. My sister meant no disrespect. It’s just that the two of us have nowhere else to stay for the moment. Kindly grant us this favor," Cai Yan naturally didn’t take you seriously, and she bowed to you, appearing calm and composed.

Looking at Cai Yan, you couldn’t get angry. This woman’s appearance was outstanding, educated and well-mannered, leaving little to criticize.

"Hey, I was just kidding with you. I’m just staying temporarily like you. If you two ladies don’t mind the presence of a crude fellow like myself, I have no objections."

"Sir, you jest," Cai Yan said, clearly recognizing from her form of address that you were not a reckless martial artist, and at least a learned individual.

"My name is Mu Yang. Miss Cai, feel free to do as you wish, just pretend I’m not here." Saying this, you closed your eyes again, not caring even a bit about the biting cold wind.

At that moment, the originally overcast sky began to gently scatter white flakes, and before long, some of them landed on your shoulders. The moment they touched you, they turned into strands of vapor, leaving Cai Yan in silent awe.

"Oh, Miss, it’s snowing!"

Cai Yan looked up at the sky full of snowflakes, her beautiful, delicate face blooming like a splendid flower, incredibly radiant.

When they noticed you remained unresponsive, Cai Yan and her maid entered the room, as outside was still too cold for them.

"Miss, won’t he freeze to death?"

With nothing else to do, the maid stuck by the window, peeking at you sitting silently in the courtyard. By now, it had been snowing for about four hours, and with the snow gradually increasing, soon a thin blanket covered the grass and trees around you. In your view, everything except you was draped in a layer of white.
