A Kiss While My Father Is Away

"Alright then!" Henry Tuoba said coolly. "Soon, the Blue Moon Spirit Alliance and the Vermilion Bird Spirit Alliance will be the same."

Grace's heart skipped a beat. "The same?"

Henry Tuoba nodded.

"Ahem, well... right." Grace said, "Your Majesty, when you talk about the Divine Race, do you mean a dragon?"

"Yes. He is of the Dragon Clan," Henry Tuoba replied.

Only a member of the House Drake could help her awaken her spirit root.

The one who helped her awaken her spirit root was a member of the Divine Race.

So when Henry Tuoba asked him who he was back in the Blue Moon Kingdom, he figured it out...

"I've seen that dragon," Grace whispered. "He's connected to Evan Xiao. So, now that Evan Xiao is here, you can relax and not worry about him."

Henry Tuoba looked at her but said nothing.

She seemed unaware of Evan Xiao's true identity.

But since Evan Xiao was keeping it secret, he couldn't say anything either.

The secret of the Divine Race was not his to reveal.

...

Grace chatted with Henry Tuoba for a while, then Henry asked her to call Minister Zhuo and Evan Xiao in.

Then it lasted for more than half an hour before it finally ended.

No one knew what they talked about. When Henry Tuoba left, Minister Zhuo was unusually excited.

He told Grace and Evan Xiao that he was going to visit a friend and asked them to wait at the inn, then left them behind.

Grace craned her neck to watch her father's figure disappear, then turned to size up Evan Xiao.

"What are you looking at?" Evan Xiao's tall figure loomed over her, asking coldly.

Why are you so generous today? You actually said I could talk to him alone?

Evan Xiao stared at her with a blank expression, then suddenly grabbed her wrist: "How did you two meet? When did you meet?"

Uh...

Alright, she was wrong.

Bored in the room for a while, she decided to go visit someone.

"Still don't want to tell me?" His gaze grew even colder.

Grace sniffled, "If I told you we met in a past life, would you believe me?"

The moment she finished speaking, his grip on her wrist tightened. "Past... life?"

Uh! Just kidding, just messing around, haha! Grace felt it was safer not to say anything more. He used to come to Blue Moon Kingdom in disguise and that's how we met. We're just pure friends. Nothing else! Really!

Pure? Nothing else?

Grace: "..."

She felt like she was making it more suspicious.

She squeezed herself into his arms, "Didn't I tell you? In my heart, there's only you. I love only you, no matter what happens, forever and ever, my general!"

Evan Xiao didn't move, nor did he reply.

Don't be like this! Come on, while my dad's not here, give me a kiss." Grace puckered her lips.

Evan Xiao turned away, annoyed, and pushed her aside. "Stay here. I'm going out for a bit."

"Where are you going?"

"Didn't you say you wanted to find Celestial Spirit Jade?"

"Let me go with you! It's so boring here at the inn by myself!"

"You can't come." Evan Xiao's tone left no room for negotiation.

Grace pouted, looking thoroughly displeased.

Evan Xiao opened the door to leave, then turned back and said coldly, "Stay put. Don't run off."

Grace shot him a frosty look and slammed the door shut with a loud "bang!"

He was the one who wanted them to talk alone, but now he's mad... Totally unreasonable!

After staring blankly around the room for a while, she decided to go visit someone.
