Chapter 523: Regent King the Keeper Wants a Kiss 54
"Your Highness, this way, please."
The guard at the side beckoned.
Xuanyuan Qing realized he had stopped in his tracks without knowing when.
He had been standing there, watching every move of that woman.
Now, having heard the guard, he came back to his senses.
He nodded his head, no longer looking in the direction of the woman, and followed the guiding guard forward.
The only woman who could be so carefree in the Prince’s Mansion was surely none other than Su Yan.
Su Yan was biting on Mu Dan petals.
Then she lowered her head, gazing at the damp earth beneath her.
There, a slender little snake lay coiled.
Its red and black patterns were the size of a thumb.
The scarlet forked tongue of the snake flicked in and out.
This little snake was naturally Little Red, who had been confined in a space for a long while.
Following that, one could hear Su Yan’s words.
"So-so."
Although she said this, her delicate hand continued to pick the petals one by one, never stopping eating them.
Little Red flicked its tail.
"Ssss ssss ssss~~"
Ah, butterflies taste better.
Su Yan thought for a moment, then shook her head.
"Too small, too lean, no meat on them," she said earnestly.
It seemed she really had contemplated the edibility of butterflies.
Eating a butterfly is not as satisfying as gnawing on a couple of chicken legs.
Most importantly, Su Yan, with her memories restored, examined food from the perspective of a human.
Those butterflies... they belong to the inedible category, right?
Little Red was ecstatic.
"Ssss ssss ssss~~"
I’ll catch some butterflies for you to eat tomorrow morning.
In Little Red’s view, the reason Su Yan would not eat them was that she had not tried them.
Once she tries them, she would surely join it in catching and eating butterflies.
Su Yan shook her head.
"No, I don’t want to; I don’t fancy eating them."
Little Red did not quite believe it.
Flicking its scarlet tongue.
"Ssss ssss ssss, ssss ssss ssss!!"
You’ve eaten Mu Dan flowers too, and even mice, you roasted them to eat!!
Little Red felt that Su Yan, in this world, was very similar to itself when it came to eating.
Therefore, she must like eating butterflies.
Even if Su Yan shook her head in refusal.
Little Red still believed it was because she had never tasted them, and once she had, she would definitely find them delicious.
The human and the snake argued over this in the garden for a long time.
Until much later, Little Red seemed to give in.
Because Su Yan refused to eat butterflies, the whole snake looked angry.
With a huff, it turned its head and slithered away down the path.
Stupid Su Yan, it didn’t want to talk to her anymore.
Su Yan didn’t stop it.
Because... she was still eating flowers.
Although, the taste was so-so.
But... eating them by the handful, it seemed okay.
There were nearly a hundred Mu Dan plants originally.
During her talk with Little Red, she had eaten more than a dozen.
Later, changing her way of consuming them, she watched as the patch of Mu Dan in the garden began to look very bare.
And then...
"Aaaaah! A snake! There’s a snake!!!"
Little Red had just made its way into the middle of the path, intending to stay in another part of the garden.
It planned to come up with a way to get Su Yan to taste a butterfly once; surely then she would like it.
Lost in thought, it wasn’t paying attention.
Plus, with the leisurely way it flicked the tip of its tail as it moved, it happened to bump into a maid carrying tea.
The maid got a fright, the tea cup shattered, and the hot tea spilled over Little Red.
"Ssss ssss ssss!!"
I’m scalded, I’m scalded!!
It glared angrily with wide eyes at the person.
"Ssss ssss ssss!!"
You scalded me!
Flicking its tongue, it aimed to bite the woman.
