Obsessively Raised by My Doll 180

Chapter 180

Lu Dieqing and Zheng Xuening stood side by side, outside the illusion formation, and watched the performance of the few people in the illusion formation.

Lu Ran and Lu Yu, the twins, seemed to have a clearer mind because they were the youngest. Even after entering the illusion formation, they did not encounter any inner demons.

Their expressions were, on the contrary, more happy and curious, as if they had seen something interesting, full of a child’s heart.

In contrast, on Lu Rushuang’s side, it seemed that she had encountered some trouble. Her face was very serious, and she showed a bit of a struggle.

Looking at Lu Ruyi’s side, her whole person’s expression was actually a little crazy, as if she were crying and laughing, her body trembling, as if she were trapped in a certain nightmare.

Lu Dieqing said “huh” with a sound.

“Will the illusion formation be dangerous?”

Lu Ruyi’s reaction was too big, which made her a little worried.

Faced with her little rabbit’s worry, Zheng Xuening held her in her arms, her hand on the other’s slender waist, and her chin also resting on the top of the girl’s head.

“It’s nothing. It’s just an illusion formation. It’s just truthfully presenting what’s on their minds.”

From Zheng Xuening’s point of view, if a person were to so easily hate others, then in terms of character, they would already be inferior.

Besides, every time Lu Ruyi looked at her Qingqing, the jealousy hidden in her eyes was too obvious.

Others would ignore it, but Zheng Xuening, who had been immersed in power and schemes since she was a child, would absolutely not miss these clues.

Even if the other’s cultivation talent was outstanding, with such a state of mind, it would be difficult to achieve great things.

Not to mention that she was just a four-spiritual root, barely able to start cultivating and sense spiritual energy.

Having received Zheng Xuening’s comfort, Lu Dieqing nodded her little head. Seeing that there was no one around, she simply leaned her head into the other’s embrace, very much like a little bird.

“Ningning, how long will we be staying in the Shan Kingdom?”

She asked in a small voice. In fact, in her heart, she was a little reluctant to part with her parents.

Seeing that the day of parting was right in front of her, her heart felt as if it were being pulled by something, and it was quite uncomfortable.

But these emotions, she did not want to show in front of her parents, otherwise it would just add to the sadness.

Only in front of Ningning could she show her feelings without reservation, and it felt as if her heart had a support.

Zheng Xuening knew that she was asking this because she actually wanted to have time to talk to her relatives.

She stroked the girl’s cheek, her tone gentle.

“Go and talk to Auntie. I’ll be here. It’s a rare opportunity. Who knows when we’ll be able to gather like this again?”

Lu Dieqing glanced at the four people in the illusion formation, and then looked up at Zheng Xuening.

It was clear that she felt that for her to leave like this was really a bit of a slacker, and to have Ningning do all the work alone, she also felt sorry in her heart.

She didn’t even have to open her mouth, nor did she have to use her mind to transmit her thoughts, and Zheng Xuening had understood what she was thinking in her heart.

The two of them had also experienced many things along the way. But there was one thing that had not changed, and that was the unique tacit understanding and trust between the two of them.

“You and I, are we still so clearly divided? If I had the time, I would also like to go and visit Auntie and have a good talk. It’s just that now I’m really spread thin and can’t get away to do other things.”

“If you can find the time to do this, it will be the same as me doing it, and I will also be happy.”

A well-reasoned Zheng Xuening was really rare.

Especially her usually sharp eyes, now softened, were full of gentleness and a smile. When she looked at Lu Dieqing, she was almost like water that had completely melted.

Lu Dieqing was looked at by such a gentle gaze, and her heart also relaxed, and she just wanted to hide in Ningning’s embrace and act cute.

She felt that she was going to be spoiled.

If not for the wrong environment, she would have wanted to push Ningning down at this moment, lie on Ningning’s body and nuzzle her, and kiss the other.

The girl’s reluctant and clinging look was so charming it was beyond words.

The latter’s heartstrings were slightly moved. She pulled Lu Dieqing over, and while the four people in the illusion were closing their eyes and not paying attention, she stole a kiss from the girl.

“Aiya,” Lu Dieqing’s red lips were kissed, and she was very embarrassed, so shy she covered her lips with her small hand and subconsciously looked around, wanting to see if she would be seen by others.

It wasn’t as if she didn’t care about others’ opinions at all.

This kind of intimate gesture, if seen by others, would make her so shy she would want to dig a hole in the ground and hide.

“Hurry up and go. I’ll wait for you to come back,” Zheng Xuening said, pinching the girl’s earlobe again and instructing her softly.

This illusion formation could be maintained for half a day, which was more than enough.

Half a day was enough for these four people to see their own hearts inside.

In fact, there was no need for an illusion formation. Zheng Xuening herself could see who among these four was suitable for cultivation and who was not.

But if there was not a fair statement, it would inevitably be criticized and seem unfair.

Therefore, she and Lu Dieqing had set up this illusion formation together.

“Then I’ll go and talk to my parents,” Lu Dieqing said, standing on her tiptoes, wrapping her arms around Zheng Xuening’s neck, and pressing her cheek against hers to express her intimacy.

These few days, the two of them had been inseparable, not even for a moment. Perhaps because they were used to being inseparable, now that they were only going to be separated for a short half-day, for some reason, an inexplicable reluctance arose in their hearts.

Zheng Xuening looked at the girl’s flower-like smile, and subconsciously raised her fingertips, wanting to pull the person into her arms and enclose her.

This kind of instinctive action made her herself shake her head and laugh.

—She was really so domineering.

Forcing herself to suppress this bit of possessiveness, Zheng Xuening encouraged the girl to hurry up and find her relatives.

“Go on.”

Lu Dieqing looked back every three steps, very much like a little chick that had just hatched. Her eyes were full of reluctance.

This look directly made Zheng Xuening grit her back teeth. She caught up in two steps and held the person in her arms again.

“So reluctant? Then don’t go.”

Her one hand held Lu Dieqing’s wrist, showing an unconcealable domineering air.

Lu Dieqing snorted and pecked her on the back of her hand with her lips.

“I’m going, I’m going. I’m going now.”

Only then did Zheng Xuening release her hand, and the girl in her arms was like a little kitten that had finally gotten its freedom, her soft and fluffy body twisting as she ran far away.

When she had run far away, she did not forget to look back again and wave at her.

“Sister.”

The two words were called out by her with a taste of lingering tenderness.

Zheng Xuening felt that her Dao heart was not stable and was about to collapse.

Whose little precious was so good at playing with fire?

She slightly turned her face away, but her peripheral vision was still on the girl’s smiling face and her retreating figure.

Seeing her turn her body and no longer look at her, Lu Dieqing chuckled softly, and her mood became joyful.

Ningning was so cute.

Others all thought that Ningning had a cold personality, and seemed to always be unapproachable and cold, but only she knew how charming Ningning’s proud, gentle, and even childish side was.

Lu He had not expected her daughter to find time to look for her.

She and Bai Ming were with the palace staff, tidying up the garden where they were staying. The imperial edict of reward had already been delivered, and at this time they were in a state of indescribable complex emotion.

“This garden has changed a lot. It’s not the same as before.”

Lu He pulled her daughter to look at the garden.

This was the residence she had owned before she had gone to the Shan Kingdom.

Outside, a palace servant was carefully hanging up a plaque with the words “Third Princess’s Residence” on the main gate.

This place had returned to its original owner, but so many years had passed.

The servants in the princess’s residence had changed several times, and she could not even find the old people she had been familiar with in the past.

“Qingqing, look. These few trees were planted by your mother and father back then.”

Lu He was like a little girl who had returned to her teens. It was rare for her to be so chattering, pulling Lu Dieqing to ramble on about the past.

“There was originally a pond here. I also raised some goldfish in it back then. In the summer, when the lotus flowers bloomed, it was very beautiful.”

“In a few days, I’ll have someone dig out this pond again. The old way is better.”

Having returned to the old place, Lu He became more talkative.

Lu Dieqing liked to see her mother like this, so she also followed by Lu He’s side, pointing around and saying her own thoughts.

“If we put a bamboo forest here, it would be very comfortable to cool off in the summer.”

“Mother, if you and Father get tired of living here in the future, you can move to another garden. Hehe, you can also live in my part.”

Lu Dieqing was very interested in the four gardens that the Empress had bestowed on her. She knew that there were also two of her own gardens inside. Although she couldn’t live in them, she was still happy in her heart.

Lu He patted Lu Dieqing’s palm. “Do you think your father and I are that dragon, to want to live in such a big place? To have just this one garden is already very good. Think of the small courtyard we lived in in the Chaoying court. Now that we can come back, and the garden is so spacious, and we have everything, your father and I are already very satisfied.”

Lu He was also very content.

Before, when she had not come back, she had had a certain complexity about her homeland, a bit of shyness about returning. But now that she was really standing on this land, she was also glad that she could come back while she was still young.

It was just that…

Her feelings of sentimentality only lasted for a moment, and then she thought of her daughter and couldn’t help but worry.

“You and Xuening, you two… if you really have to leave, should your mother help you with the wedding?”
