The scene froze for a while.
Feng Qi stabilized the bamboo basket, which was almost overturned by his own kick, and raised his eyes to look at Ji Chaoyun.
Ji Chaoyun seemed to have spent his entire life in concentration to barely maintain his facial expression. He had a calm demeanor and even looked at Feng Qi calmly, as if what he said was just an ordinary fact.
"Pfft—" Feng Qi didn't hold back when he saw his appearance, and burst out laughing.
There was a crack in the seamless expression on Ji Chaoyun's face.
In the awkward atmosphere, only the girl was still asking: "Really? But aren't you guys, men can get married too?"
"This… "
Ji Chaoyun didn't know how to explain.
Immortals don't care about the difference between men and women, and they can even freely incarnate male and female, and naturally they can get married. But this is not the case in the human world. Although there are people in the world who are masculine, no matter the moral concept or the laws and regulations, marriage is not allowed.
Feng Qi held back a smile, stepped forward three or two steps, and pulled Ji Chaoyun into his arms: "In our hometown, men can also get married, right?"
Ji Chaoyun's body was stiff, and he forced the corners of his mouth: "...Yes."
"What should you call me?"
Ji Chaoyun glared at him, gritted his teeth, and said fiercely between his teeth: "Yes, husband."
Feng Qi was satisfied: "This is good."
The girl looked at Feng Qi and then at Ji Chaoyun, the corners of her mouth twitched, as if she wanted to hold back: "Wu-"
The girl covered her face and ran away, and Xu San came out of the house at this moment and asked blankly, "What happened to that girl?"
"It's alright." Feng Qi retracted his gaze and said as if nothing had happened, "Then according to what we said earlier, we will send someone to pick up the goods when I go back."
"Yes, make sure to prepare things for Young Master Feng." Xu San replied.
Ji Chaoyun was a little surprised: "Is this settled?"
They previously planned to let the guide take them to search several villages here in the name of purchasing goods.
Feng Qi's attitude now shows that there is really a problem in this Linhai Village
Feng Qi tilted his head and smiled lightly at him, and said, "Second brother Xu is a straightforward person, and things are of the best quality, so it's settled naturally."
With a smile on Xu San's face, he said, "Second Young Master Feng has a unique vision and can be described as a hero among people. He has done such things at a young age, and he will definitely become a great master in the future."
"Young age..." Feng Qi smiled and shook his head, but did not refute.
He paused, then said to Ji Chaoyun, "I just discussed with Third Brother Xu. It's getting late today, so we'll stay here for a night, and we'll be on our way tomorrow, okay?"
He still hugged Ji Chaoyun without letting go, lowered his head and whispered in the ear of the other party, his gesture was natural and intimate.
Ji Chaoyun's ears were hot, and he wanted to hide unconsciously, but he held back: "All, all listen to you."
Xu San said: "The two come with me."
The two followed Xu San into the backyard, and Ji Chaoyun suddenly asked, "There are two older brothers in Xu Sange's house, right?"
Xu San paused slightly and said with a smile, "Yes, the two brothers went out to fish and haven't returned yet."
"How long have you been away?"
Xu San pondered for a moment, then replied, "Let's talk about more than ten days."
Ji Chaoyun narrowed his eyes: "To catch a fish, you need to be away for so many days? Doesn't third brother Xu find it strange?"
"What's so strange about this?" Xu San explained, "Young master doesn't know something. Those of us who depend on the sea for food can't come back after ten days and a half months. It's normal."
Ji Chaoyun frowned, and before he could say anything, Feng Qi asked again: "By the way, I heard that there is an altar temple dedicated to the Sea Dragon King in Linhai Village. We want to go and worship, I wonder if Third Brother Xu can lead us?"
Hearing him mention this, Xu San's expression seemed to sink, but he quickly returned to normal: "You said the Dragon King Temple, it's not very convenient these days."
"Why is it inconvenient?"
Xu San said with a smile: "It's nothing, but the high tide of the sea a few days ago collapsed the outer wall of the temple. The village is being repaired these days, so it's not convenient to go there. The flood washed the Dragon King Temple, son. Are you saying it's fun or not?"
He said, pushing open the door of a side room: "The two of you will live here today, the humble house is simple, don't take it as a surprise."
Ji Chaoyun frowned: "One room?"
Xu San wondered, "Aren't the two of you already married, shouldn't you live in one room?"
"..."
Feng Qi nodded with a smile: "Yes, it's time to live in a room, we'll live here, thank you very much."
Xu San closed the door and left, Ji Chaoyun leaned against the wall and wanted to slip away, but Feng Qi grabbed him by the collar: "Where are you going, husband, man?"
"..." Ji Chaoyun calmed himself down and looked back at him coldly, "What are you yelling at?"
Feng Qi didn't want to eat his suit, dragged the person to the table and sat down, chuckling: "I didn't know which little liar was talking nonsense just now, and said that he and I have worshipped heaven and earth and become husband and wife."
"That's because—" Ji Chaoyun's ears were hot, and he didn't know how to explain it.
Feng Qi said leisurely: "Because you see other girls fall in love with me, you are not happy."
Ji Chaoyun's breath stagnated.
"You're so domineering, Xiaolong." Feng Qi leaned slightly and got closer, "People just look at me one more time and ask for some news about me, so you are so unhappy?"
Feng Qi raised his jaw, those handsome smiling eyes slammed into Ji Chaoyun's eyes: "Tell me, who am I?"
who are you
You are the person he has waited for hundreds of years, missed for hundreds of years, and cared for hundreds of years.
Even if you lose all your memories, you still maintain him everywhere, take care of him, and love him.
"I..." Ji Chaoyun felt dry in his throat and couldn't say a word.
Feng Qi was right, the impact of those three hundred years on him was too deep and far, far beyond Ji Chaoyun's own cognition.
After three hundred years of isolation and exile, he almost lost all ability to express himself. He shrunk himself into a shell full of spikes, and it was so long that he even forgot what he was supposed to be like.
Ji Chaoyun fixedly looked at those eyes, his heartbeat was slowly accelerating.
When Feng Qi looked at others like this, there was always an invisible sense of oppression in his eyes. In the past, Ji Chaoyun didn't know where the oppression came from, but he didn't understand until now that it was the deterrent force that was fused in the blood of the ancient gods.
It was the young Phoenix who didn't know how to restrain the sharp edge.
This edge is too dazzling for the current Ji Chaoyun, it seems that if you get closer, it will be burned to ashes.
Ji Chaoyun's breathing gradually became rapid, and the two stood at a stalemate for a moment, and Feng Qi took the lead in letting go: "I won't tease you."
The lingering oppressive feeling finally dissipated, and Ji Chaoyun breathed a sigh of relief.
Feng Qi asked, "Just now I asked you to go outside to investigate, but what did you find out?"
"No." Ji Chaoyun lowered his eyes and whispered, "There is no trace of demonic aura in the village, but..."
"what?"
Ji Chaoyun: "I asked the girl Xu just now, and she said that her two brothers went out to fish half a month ago and have not returned yet. It was the time when we were attacked on Mount Sumeru."
"I thought it was weird when I first entered the village, but I didn't think about the abnormality. I didn't understand it until just now."
Ji Chaoyun paused for a while, and then said: "Linhai Village is rich in products, but we went all the way, and most of the people we met were old people and women who were nearly half a hundred years old, but we didn't see a young adult. Until the village chief tried to drive us away. , the fisherman surnamed Xu suddenly appeared."
"That's right, it's really too coincidental." Feng Qi nodded, "Also, the guide said that the village made profits from outside production, but every household's goods were piled up into mountains, and there was no export at all. This means that at least for the past month, there has been no Any merchant picks up and leaves from here, or…”
Ji Chaoyun frowned slightly: "Or, none of the merchants who came here were able to leave alive."
The two were silent for a moment, and Ji Chaoyun said, "But these are just guesses. If we can't find out the devil's breath, we can't make a conclusion."
"When Yaoguang-Jun was possessed, we couldn't find out the devil's breath?" Feng Qi supported his chin and smiled lightly, "Also, Lingyuanhai would let the rising tide collapse his own Dragon King Temple. , how is this possible? Could it be that your unfortunate brother finally couldn't hold back and was about to usurp the throne?"
Ji Chaoyun ignored his sloppy mouth and asked, "What should we do now?"
"Wait." Feng Qi said leisurely, "If there is really a problem here, they must have plans to stay with us."
The night fell quickly, it was getting late, Ji Chaoyun sat in front of the window and looked into the courtyard.
The courtyard was silent, the lights in several bedrooms had been turned off, and only the lights in their houses were still beating.
Feng Qi made the bed, tilted her head and asked, "What have you been looking at there?"
Ji Chaoyun didn't look back: "Didn't you say they would do it at night?"
"Even if I want to do it, I won't pick when you and I are still awake." Feng Qi walked up to him, "The bed is ready, go to sleep. You are a fairy, and you are afraid that a few mortals will fail?"
"But..." Ji Chaoyun murmured and whispered the truth, "It's just one bed."
"Why, are you afraid that I will take advantage of you?" Feng Qi chuckled and pushed him to the side of the bed, "Don't worry, I won't sleep, you lie down quickly."
"But..." Ji Chaoyun wanted to say more, but Feng Qi forced him to lie down on the bed.
Seeing that he was still trying to struggle, Feng Qi whispered, "I forgot what you promised before going out? You have to listen to me."
Ji Chaoyun stopped moving suddenly, and Feng Qi still pulled the quilt to wrap him up, and said, "Your body hasn't been well recuperated for many years. You've been running around and tired for the past few days. You don't know what will happen at night. sleep tight?"
Ji Chaoyun whispered, "I see."
"Good." Feng Qi squeezed his face lightly, got up and wanted to leave, but was held back.
Ji Chaoyun loosened his fingers like lightning and asked in a low voice, "What about you?"
Feng Qi glanced at the other party's face and said, "I'll go to the window to watch, you should rest."
"But..." Ji Chaoyun's eyes were dodging and fluttering, but he didn't dare to look at him, and said quickly, "But we are pretending to be husband and wife now. If someone sees us like this from outside, we will definitely be suspicious."
"Oh, so you're worried about this." Feng Qi's eyes showed a smile, and he explained, "I can use illusions to cover my eyes, but they can't see it."
Ji Chaoyun: "What if the devil comes?"
"The devil is not afraid. If he casts a spell to break my illusion, can't I detect his existence?"
"..."
Ji Chaoyun was completely speechless, he said in a low voice, "Let's do it with you", turning over and pulling the quilt to cover most of his face.
Feng Qi looked at the half hairy head that was exposed outside, only to feel soft and itchy in her heart, and she was about to go crazy.
He clearly wanted him to accompany him, but he just didn't tell the truth.
This little dragon...
Feng Qi gritted his teeth lightly, and walked to the table casually to turn off the light.
The room was plunged into silence and darkness, and even each other's breathing was barely noticeable. Ji Chaoyun stared at the white wall in front of him, finally couldn't help it, and turned his head gently—
Then he met those eyes that were half-smile but not smiling.
"...Aren't you going to watch by the window?"
Feng Qi was kneeling beside the bed and looked at him with a smile: "I changed my mind."
He untied the buttons of his robe one by one, took it off and hung it aside: "I thought about it again, it's just a few mortals, why should you be so cautious, and what kind of tricks you need to spend on cultivation. Are you right?"
"..."
Ji Chaoyun watched his movements, moved calmly to the inside of the bed, and moved again. He was about to get close to the cold wall, but was pulled back by Feng Qi, who was lying down.
Feng Qi wrapped the man in his arms, and his hot breath was in Ji Chaoyun's ear: "What are you running, do a full set of acting, don't let others see the flaws."
Ji Chaoyun pressed his back against the opponent's chest, his eyelashes fluttered, he didn't know what to think, and his ears instantly turned red.

Xiaolong: All... a full set? ?
