Chapter 247: Master’s Arrival(5)_1
Cai Wei purses her lips and asks Nangong Yi, "Hey, have you prepared the black powder I asked for?"
Nangong Yi raises his hand, a guard steps forward, presenting a delicate little box with both hands.
The tiny box is made of sandalwood and intricately carved with flowers. The faint scent of sandalwood does little to suppress the strong smell of gunpowder within. She opens the box, looks at the black powder inside, nods satisfied and sincerely thanks Nangong Yi, "Thank you, I wouldn’t be able to gather all these on my own for who knows how long!"
Nangong Yi laughs, "If Wei’er is thanking me, will you have me over for a New Year’s meal at your house?"
Looking at his devilishly handsome face with a radiant smile, Cai Wei suddenly remembers Cai Ping’s infatuation with him. Surely, if Cai Ping saw him, she would be overjoyed, hilariously embarrassing herself. Thinking of this, she smiles mischievously and cheerfully agrees, "Sure, but we celebrate the New Year with the main family in our household. If you don’t mind, you can join us."
Seeing her mysterious and cunning little fox-like smile, Nangong Yi assumes she must have some sort of cunning idea in mind. However, he doesn’t mind and warmly says, "In that case, I thank Wei’er in advance."
Manager Li immediately chimes in, "I want to go too. Why should you all have a fun-filled New Year’s celebration while I’m alone with a room full of icy faces!"
Cai Wei replies, "Sure, let’s go together!"
And so, a beautiful scene unfolded on the village road of the Mu Family Village.
A divine young man and woman strolled down the road leisurely. The man, unparallel in beauty, seemed like a banished immortal from the celestial altar. He wore a black robe with golden unicorn patterns embroidered on the narrow sleeves, a black mink cloak over it. His hair was neatly bundled inside a purple-gold crown, a jade tiger head ornament decorated it. A deep purple gem in the center of the crown clearly reflected the woman’s face.
