My Demon Queen

Chapter 200 Can I Hug You?

The middle-aged man asked cautiously, his eyes fixed on Ye An with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

"It's a middle-grade sword. Why, shopkeeper, you don't want to bargain, do you? You are a man with a discerning eye for gems! And look at you, you look so righteous, you are the perfect mate for young ladies, you are beautiful and rich. You don't want to embarrass a little friend like me, don't you, don't you?"

Ye An blinked his lively eyes, which were cunning, his mouth corners raised, his voice coquettish, and he instantly turned into a tea art master and began his performance.

That look, the shyness, the cunning and clever ghost, is simply unbearable to look at, and the only thing missing is to call me "brother~"

The middle-aged man had obviously never been praised like this before, and for a moment, he couldn't help feeling elated.

Especially when it came from the mouth of the handsome young man in front of him, it made him feel even more superior.

He almost waved his hand and offered a high price.

If I hadn't taken a closer look and realized that Ye An was a man, I would have almost lost control of myself.

Then, he coughed twice, calmed himself down, and carefully observed Ye An's expression. He found that he was indeed a little unclear about the value of the sword, and his eyes couldn't help but roll.

Ye An also noticed the middle-aged man's eyes rolling around, and thought to himself, "Oh, you still want to bargain, I'll see if I can't kill you with my twenty years of flattery skills."

Just before the middle-aged man opened his mouth, Ye An suddenly shouted at the top of his voice: "Brother~ You are so handsome and charming, you are not really going to give me the lowest price, are you?"

As he spoke, he looked cute and blinked his eyes non-stop. His expression was so exaggerated that it made people laugh.

"Fuck, I'm making myself sick. I'm not going too far, am I?"

Ye An secretly groaned in his heart, his brows furrowed, and his face was full of self-disdain.

Just as Ye An was madly complaining about himself in his heart, the middle-aged man also felt a chill, as if he had heard something he shouldn't have heard, and his ears were irritated and aching slightly.

Just when Ye An wanted to continue his "performance", the middle-aged man hurriedly said, "Stop, no need to say anything, I'll give you a price."

The middle-aged man was obviously afraid that Ye An would say something disgusting again, and Ye An was also afraid that he would say something even more disgusting, so both of them stopped tacitly, and Ye An waited for the boss's quotation with anticipation.

"I'll give you three hundred spirit coins for this sword." said the middle-aged man.

After hearing this, Ye An was stunned, his eyes widened and his mouth slightly opened.

"How is money in this world? Let me think... That fat guy said he wanted to beat me to death and gave the servant 100 yuan. This sword is worth 300 yuan? Fuck, am I not as valuable as a sword?"

Ye An cursed the fat guy madly in his heart, and at the same time looked at the remaining two swords with some disgust.

However, Ye An was so angry that he didn't even think about the fact that these three swords might be worth much more.

But Ye An still forced himself to calm down, and then said: "Boss, I still have two swords like this. I think you should know whether this sword is worth it. You can add some points. If it is suitable, I will give it to you."

The middle-aged man thought about it, and based on the principle of not losing money, he added another 200 spirit coins to Ye An's bet. This made Ye An very happy. A bright smile broke out on his face, his eyes narrowed into slits, and he ran away happily.

The middle-aged man was also afraid that Ye An would go back on his word, so he immediately closed the shop door, secretly rejoicing in his heart, "You must be kidding, a mid-grade spirit sword is worth five thousand spirit coins, five hundred spirit coins for one sword, it would make him laugh even in his dreams."

"One thousand five hundred spirit coins should be enough for us to splurge for a while."

Ye An thought happily as he held the bulging cloth bag in both hands and strode towards the inn with a smug look on his face.

"Tanghulu, freshly made Tanghulu~"

"Tanghulu? There are Tanghulu in this world?"

When Ye An heard the familiar hawking voice, he immediately looked in the direction of the sound and saw an old man surrounded by a group of children.

The old man held high a candied haws stick in his hand, which was filled with various colorful candied haws.

"Fuck, I didn't travel through time completely. No, I have to try it out. After all, I'm here now."

Thinking of this, Ye An quickly ran to the old man.

When he asked about the price, his jaw dropped and his eyes almost popped out. A string of candied haws and a silver coin.

Only then did Ye An realize that the highest currency unit in this world was spirit coins, followed by gold coins and silver coins.

Then Ye An waved his hand and took out a spiritual coin generously. Under the envious gaze of a group of children, he bought all the candied haws. He even held a string proudly in his mouth, looking like a naughty child.

Ye An looked at the children who were about to cry of greed and generously gave them a few candied haws. Then he carried the candied haws on his shoulder and walked back to the inn in a very arrogant manner.

His actions attracted the attention of the people around him. Several of them observed him secretly, and then disappeared into the crowd without making a sound.

"What are you..."

Mo Qingcheng looked at Ye An carrying such a big string of candied haws to her side with a look of surprise on her face.

"Come, try some candied haws."

Ye An then picked a bunch and handed it to Mo Qingcheng, his face full of anticipation.

Mo Qingcheng reached out to take the candied haws, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes. She gently opened her rosy lips and took a careful bite under Ye An's expectant gaze.

In an instant, a sweet and sour taste spread in Mo Qingcheng's mouth, which immediately made Mo Qingcheng's eyes light up slightly. She didn't expect that there would be such a novel and delicious food.

All the subtle changes in Mo Qingcheng were imprinted in Ye An's eyes. Ye An looked at Mo Qingcheng with a surprised expression as if she was eating new and exotic food for the first time. A hint of love appeared in his eyes and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

"It seems that I will have to stay out longer, my future wife..."

Ye An looked at Mo Qingcheng with a smile, thinking silently in his heart.

Ye An watched Mo Qingcheng eat a candied haws, then he took another candied haws made of another fruit and replaced the one in Mo Qingcheng's hand.

"Come, try this." Ye An said gently.

Mo Qingcheng looked at Ye An handing over something different, with a hint of anticipation in her eyes, and began to taste them one by one.

In this way, Ye An generously let Mo Qingcheng eat only one candied haws, and then changed a string. After trying them one by one, he found that Mo Qingcheng liked the candied haws made of hawthorn more.

Then Ye An distributed the remaining candied haws of other flavors to the children who were waiting eagerly at the door of the inn.

Mo Qingcheng ate the candied haws while watching Ye An and a group of children laughing and sharing the candied haws, and found that she understood Ye An a little better.

"Okay, my lady empress, are you hungry?" Ye An sat back in his original seat and looked at Mo Qingcheng with a smile, which contained a bit of flattery.

"In one day, you called me countless different names? What? There's none you like?" Mo Qingcheng asked Ye An while biting a candied haws.

Ye An smiled slightly. He found that since Mo Qingcheng's spiritual power disappeared, she became more like an ordinary person and had a more worldly air.

"Of course there are, for example, my little wife." Ye An said with a wicked smile, a mischievous gleam in his eyes.

"boring."

Mo Qingcheng said she was bored, but she couldn't help but smile into her eyes. She ate a candied haws and looked out the window, deliberately avoiding meeting Ye An's fiery gaze.

Ye An looked at Mo Qingcheng avoiding his gaze, and felt happy and a little satisfied.

"Mo Qingcheng, can I hug you?"

Ye An looked at Mo Qingcheng lovingly, his voice so gentle that it seemed water could drip out, and his eyes were full of desire.

Mo Qingcheng was a little slow to react for a moment, not understanding why Ye An would make this request out of the blue.

"Why?" Mo Qingcheng asked puzzledly.

"Yeah~ I just kind of want to hug you."

Ye An thought about it and said seriously with a hint of shyness on his face.

In fact, Ye An didn't know why he wanted to hug Mo Qingcheng, but since he had not recovered all his memories, the thought kept popping up in his mind. In addition to hugging Mo Qingcheng when he apologized in the wooden house, it seemed that he had hugged her once more.

Mo Qingcheng seemed to remember that when they were in the courtyard of the Demon Empress's mansion, Ye An suddenly hugged her in his arms. It was at that time that she began to call him a cowardly rat.

"You seem to have become braver?" Mo Qingcheng looked at Ye An with a smile and said.

Ye An thought Mo Qingcheng wouldn’t allow it, so he scratched his head awkwardly and said, “Then next time, hug me next time.”

"Heh, you cowardly rat." Mo Qingcheng snorted coldly, seeming a little dissatisfied, and continued to turn his head to look outside.

Ye An was confused by Mo Qingcheng's words, and for a moment he didn't know what went wrong.

"What do you mean? Do you want me to hug you or not? Also, why am I such a coward."

Ye An kept muttering to himself, full of doubts, his brows furrowed into a shape of a "川" (river) character.

As Ye An thought about this, his stubborn temper came up. He stood up and strode behind Mo Qingcheng under her puzzled gaze.

"I'll show you who is the coward."

Ye An said this with gritted teeth, and then, in front of Mo Qingcheng's slightly surprised gaze, he hugged her from behind without hesitation, with a stubborn and determined look on his face.

"I hugged her. I hugged Mo Qingcheng. Mom, I have made it. "

Ye An hugged Mo Qingcheng and shouted excitedly in his heart, but his body was very stiff while holding Mo Qingcheng, and the expression on his face was both excited and nervous.

Mo Qingcheng didn't expect Ye An to suddenly hug her. Unlike the previous two times, this time she didn't want to break free.

Maybe it was because she had no spiritual power, or maybe she accepted Ye An from the bottom of her heart.

This time, Mo Qingcheng rarely asked Ye An to let go. Instead, her body became a little stiff, feeling Ye An's equally stiff body.

Mo Qingcheng raised the corners of his mouth, but couldn't help but complain in his heart, "Since you hugged me, you still act like this, it's really..."

Although he complained, he thought that he was not much better, so he just stopped thinking about it and let Ye An do what he wanted.

"Smells so good, it turns out Mo Qingcheng smells good, why didn't I smell it carefully last time? Wait, I'm not a pervert, why should I smell it, but... it smells so good."

Ye An slowly relaxed, resting his chin lightly on Mo Qingcheng's shoulder, carefully smelling the charming scent emanating from Mo Qingcheng's body, with an intoxicated look on his face, and he couldn't help but indulge in it.

"Ye An, what are you doing?"
