Chapter 309 Extra Story—Jin Lin City of the Country of Mu Xia
Duanmu Gongyu was quiet for a while then said faintly, “Of course!”
Yun Muxi gently sat on the swing, pushing off the ground gently with her legs. The swing winded up slightly. The breeze flashed by her tender skin when the swing moved up and down. Yun Muxi closed her eyes and lifted her head slightly. Feeling the leisurely fun of swinging, she naturally had a smile on her face.
At this moment, a beam of sunshine pierced from the gaps of branches, rightly scattering on Yun Muxi’s body. Under the backlighting, she was covered by a misty beauty. For a moment, Duanmu Gongyu seemed to see his mother again. He recalled that his Empress Dowager also sat on the swing like this and said to him with a big smile, “Xiao Yu, come on. This swing is so beautiful. Join me.”
“Xiao Yu, this swing is so beautiful. I like it so much. Do you like it?”
…
Yun Muxi was so happy to sit on the swing, planning to say something when opening her eyes. But she found that Duanmu Gongyu was staring at her. He seemed to look at her, but might be looking far in the distance.
Yun Muxi stretched out her small hand to shake it in front of Yun Muxi, asking with confusion, “Hey! Duanmu Gongyu, what are you looking at?”

Duanmu Gongyu was awakened by Yun Muxi’s crisp voice, recovering his thought and saying to Yun Muxi, “Can we have a talk?”
“Of course!” Yun Muxi wore a smile and looked at Duanmu Gongyu.
Stepping close to her, Duanmu Gongyu started to help swaying the swing, asking peacefully, “First, could you please tell me what your name is? How old are you? And where do you come from?”
Yun Muxi answered faintly, “My name is Yun Muxi and you can call me Xiao Xi. I’m 18 years old. Actually, I just had my 18th birthday yesterday. Besides that, it was also the graduation day of high school…”
Yun Muxi continued talking with Duanmu Gongyu. At this moment, she had considered him as the only reliance in this era and totally trusted him. She could tell him everything.
At the moment when they were chatting happily, a crisp female voice came from the distance. “Brother Yu, Brother Yu… where are you?”
As the voice got closer, a small figure showed up in pink. A little girl at around 10 years old was looking for something and finally found Duanmu Gongyu, who was standing by the swing. When she saw Duanmu Gongyu, her watery eyes brightened with a deep smile.
“Hey, Brother Yu, here you are. Xiao Jing has been looking for you for a long while!” The little girl’s joyful voice was as crisp as a silver bell.
The little girl approached them, looking at Yun Muxi, who was sitting on the swing, with her eyes widely opened. She pointed at Yun Muxi and asked surprisedly, “Ah! Who are you? How can you sit on this swing? Brother Yu has decreed that no one is allowed to get on this swing. I have begged him many times, but he’s never agreed. Last time, Sister Xiaoya sneakily got on it, but is forbidden to step into Emperor Yu Mansion again. How can you sit on it? Get down or you’ll see how Brother Yu will punish you!”
Yun Muxi immediately became a little bit anxious and planned to get off the swing. At this moment, Duanmu Gongyu patted her shoulder gently, gesturing for her to ignore the question and continue to sit on it.
Duanmu Gongjing became shocked when seeing Duanmu Gongyu’s attitude and said at once with her lips pouting, “Brother Yu, you’re partial to her. Haven’t you decreed that no one should sit on the swing? Why do you allow this girl on it? You’re partial, brother.”
The coming person was Duanmu Gongjing, the half-blooded sister of Duanmu Gongyu, given birth by concubine Han, 10 years old younger than Duanmu Gongyu. Since she was young, she liked to play with Duanmu Gongyu, who had never shown any good attitude to her, but she did not mind and continued to follow behind Duanmu Gongyu.
She knew that Duanmu Gongyu always behaved indifferently and did not show a good attitude to anyone, so she simply thought that this was how Duanmu Gongyu should be. She guessed that no one could get Duanmu Gongyu’s attention! However, she saw a woman who was allowed to sit on the swing, so she felt jealous.
Duanmu Gongyu did not pay attention to Duanmu Gingjing’s question, but asked her in an extremely cold voice, “Why are you here? Why don’t you stay in the imperial palace but come here?”
Duanmu Gongjing was young and simple, so her thoughts were shifted by Duanmu Gongyu’s words. She answered happily, “Brother Yu, there is a public fair in the center street. Xiaojing wants Brother Yu go there with me. It’s been a long time for me to not go to a fair.”
Duanmu Gongyu answered in a cold voice, “No interest. I won’t go there! Go back to the imperial palace and don’t come to my place without something important.”
“No, no, Xiaojing wants you to go to the fair with me. Brother Yu, I beg you. Go with me!” Duanmu Gingjing said peevishly.
Duanmu Gongyu frowned slightly and said unhappily, “You don’t understand my words? Or should I ask someone to send you back?” His voice was indifferent, which meant he was showing her the door. This made Duanmu Gongjing feel aggrieved and her eyes immediately got wet.
Duanmu Gongyu became gloomy and impatient when seeing that Xiaojing was about to cry, giving her a piercing gaze and frightening her to shut up. She lowered down her head and turned to leave reluctantly. Xiaojing liked Duanmu Gongyu the most but she also was afraid of him the most. Perhaps, she was just a little girl, so just Duanmu Gongyu’s gaze could stop her and frightened her to do nothing. She dared to act coquettishly and naughtily, and would cry to anyone, but she could only choose to give up in front of Duanmu Gongyu.
During their conversation, Yun Muxi was looking over the little girl. It seemed that the two had a relationship, but Duanmu Gongyu treated the girl so indifferently. This made Yun Muxi confused about their relationship. She just found that the little girl liked Duanmu Gongyu so much but it was just her wishful thinking.
In fact, Yun Muxi liked this girl. She was not really pretty but looked cute and quirky. Her hair combed with two horn-like buns and pinned with two pink flowers, she looked tender with her two watery eyes. A smile was always on her face. She would naturally get people’s tender care. She also seemed to be spoiled and showed a piece of arrogance and arbitrariness. She had to be a troublesome Young Miss and no one would dare to bother her. It had to be messy if one offended this girl.
As Yun Muxi was thinking about this, she came across Duanmu Gongjing’s fierce eyesight. Yun Muxi was able to neither cry nor laugh. This Faerie hated her at first sight and seemed to have been offended by her. Was it just because Duanmu Gongyu allowed her to sit on this swing?
Yun Muxi felt that the little girl did not have good feelings for her. Seeing the girl leaving, she said embarrassedly, “She seems to not like me.”
Duanmu Gongyu replied softly, “Never mind!”
Yun Muxi still had some hesitation and asked, “Who is she…? It really doesn’t matter if I offend her?”
Duanmu Gongyu said calmly, “She’s named Duanmu Gongjing, given birth by Concubine Han. Normally, she is spoiled by Concubine Han. You have me, so you don’t have to be afraid of her. She dares not do anything to you.” Duanmu Gongyu knew that Duanmu Gongjing was just a spoiled girl and always behaved arrogantly. She just got shocked here, but would not hurt Yun Muxi.
Yun Muxi nodded and turned to asked, “She just said that there will be a fair today?”
“You are interested in it?”
“No, I just feel curious. I just came here, and know nothing about this place.”
“Then, I can show you around and buy you some necessities.”
“You said you’re not interested in the fair, right?”
“I have no interest in the fair with her, but you’re different.”
Duanmu Gongyu was stunned and surprised by his slipping words. Yun Muxi was embarrassed into lowering her head and blushing, while her heart was beating as fast as a running deer.
…
On the most prosperous central street of Jin Lin City, the monthly fair was held today. It was crowded and busy. People came and went, while the sellers were calling for customers. The goods were of all kinds.
Duanmu Gongyu took Yun Muxi on the streets of the fair. The latter was obviously excited, looking at this and touching that. She did not want to miss any stand. After all, it was the first time for her to go shopping in this world at such a busy fair. She was curious about everything. Duanmu Gongyu walked by her side, followed by two subordinates.
Noon came during their walk along the streets. Duanmu Gongyu took Yun Muxi to the best restaurant on this street—the Jinlin Royal Kitchen.
At this moment, Yun Muxi still kept her entire mind outside. Even if the dishes here were the best and most delicious, Yun Muxi still rushed to finish this meal and took Duanmu Gongyu to continue shopping.
“I will buy you whatever you like. By the way, don’t forget to buy some necessities,” Duanmu Gongyu said gently and gave her a bulging purse. This little woman just strolled along in the morning. She stopped by every stand, but bought nothing.
Yun Muxi returned him a sweet smile. “I don’t need anything, but I just feel novel. This… You should keep this. I don’t need money!” Then, Yun Muxi planned to return the purse to Duanmu Gongyu.
Duanmu Gongyu quickly pressed Yun Muxi’s hand and said, “Keep it. Just help me to keep it. If you like something, you can buy it.”
Yun Muxi felt that it was not appropriate for the two persons to wrangle with a purse on the street, so she put it away and considered returning it to him when going back home.
Yun Muxi was attracted by a special shop when lifting her head. All the shops she had gone in were entered because of curiosity, but this one was what she really liked.
The decoration of the shop was antique and special, but not that luxurious. The color was bold and eye-catching, while the details of the decoration were elegant and exquisite, showing a refined atmosphere and unique charm. On the door of the store, there were some words written in a fresh and elegant font: Hidden Treasure Pavilion.
