Ahhhhh!
Leng Mushi turned her head away from Xiao Mian, squatted on the ground and hugged her head.
My mind was in a mess, like bubbling hot oil.
—What should I do? What should I do? What should I do? !
Xiao Mian squatted down opposite Leng Mushi and reached out to touch her fingertips. Leng Mushi suddenly retracted her fingers and pressed them under her arm, her mind racing as she tried to think of a countermeasure.
What's wrong with Xiao Mian? He looks serious, but how come he is so good at being a hooligan?!
Leng Mushi curled herself up into a ball, a posture to protect her vital parts. She was not shy at all as Xiao Mian thought, but was "protecting herself".
She never thought that things would turn out like this, that Xiao Mian would like her and press her so hard.
She had never considered Xiao Mian as a man. To Leng Mushi, he was a medicine man, a person who helped her escape her fate, and someone else's reserved property. She had never thought of having anything to do with Xiao Mian.
She had seen the breakup between her mother and father. She was not a woman like her mother who lived for love, and she had no desire for love at all from the bottom of her heart.
She just felt that Xiao Mian was easy to use.
She just wanted to become stronger quickly, learn how to make pills, and escape her predetermined fate.
But now that things have turned out like this, no one can point her in a specific direction. The rules are as silent as if dead. Leng Mushi...
After much thought, she decided to tell the truth and stop being a human being.
Leng Mushi took a deep breath and stood up. Xiao Mian also stood up with her, looking at her with tenderness in his eyes.
"I am willing to give myself to you." Xiao Mian said first, "I can't repay you for saving my life, so why not use me as compensation."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Leng Mushi with a smile. He was really good-looking. When he looked at people like this, he was handsome and his smile was as bright as the clear wind and the moon.
He opened his arms, waiting for Leng Mushi to jump into his arms happily.
"My cultivation is low now, so I can't promise to give you a lot in the future," Xiao Mian said, "but I will try my best to cultivate, and I am willing to help you cultivate pills, be your medicine man, or help you slowly cleanse your spirit veins with spiritual power. There is always a way."
Xiao Mian said: "Come, I really want to hug you now."
He spoke frankly and sincerely. Anyone else would have thrown themselves into the arms of Xiao Xianjun without hesitation, given his dignified appearance.
But Leng Mushi took a step back and leaned against the formation. Her expression was no longer helpless, but serious and resolute.
The law of the side waist is still colder than death.
Leng Mushi lowered her head for a moment and had to solve the problem herself.
She took two steps forward, but did not throw herself into his arms as Xiao Mian had expected. Instead, she raised her hands to hold down Xiao Mian's arms, not daring to look at him.
She tilted her head and said quickly, "I don't need you to repay me. You gave me the Rejuvenating Pill and my face has healed without a single scar. You don't need to remember my life-saving grace anymore."
The smile on Xiao Mian's lips froze, and his intuition told him that it would be best to shut the person in front of him up.
But he just curled his fingers, afraid to scare her, and dared not move again.
Leng Mushi got things going much more smoothly once she got started. As she spoke, she thought that since it had come to this, she might as well just solve it all at once!
So she turned her head and looked directly at Xiao Mian: "I have cleansed my spiritual roots now, and I am much better now. I don't need to bother others to test the medicine for me anymore, so we don't need to meet every three nights, Brother Xiao."
Leng Mushi said: "It is difficult to practice the way of elixirs, but cultivation is always the path you have to take. Thank you for helping me during this period of time. If you need any elixirs in the future, Brother Xiao, just come to me. As long as the Cangsheng Academy has them, I will try to get them for you."
"You..." Xiao Mian's smile had completely disappeared. He raised his hand to grab Leng Mushi, but missed. Leng Mushi avoided him and retreated against the formation.
"Brother Xiao, I won't hold it against you for offending me many times before," Leng Mushi turned his face away, "but please respect yourself in the future."
She felt shameless for saying this, but when she was pestering Xiao Mian before, she would never have thought that her actions would cause such an effect.
So she gritted her teeth and continued under Xiao Mian's cracked expression: "I said I liked you before..."
"It's all..."
"Leng Nianci!" Xiao Mian suddenly stopped her, walked forward and grabbed her arm without saying a word.
Leng Mushi thought he was going to hit her. She was traumatized by Hua Yanyue's beatings, so she closed her eyes and shrunk her shoulders and said quickly: "Initially, I wanted to trick you into helping me get started, and later I wanted to trick you into helping me test the medicine. It was all fake!"
There was a suffocating silence, and the formation seemed to block out even the sound of the wind. The only sounds in the space were the rapid heartbeats of the two people.
One was because of guilty fear, the other was because of shock and anger.
"Stop it... This is not funny." Xiao Mian said stiffly after a while, but his hand holding Leng Mushi was trembling and getting tighter and tighter, betraying his collapse at the moment.
There was absolutely no way Leng Mushi would be involved with Xiao Mian. She even thought that the soul-burning pain of the law was not enough to do anything to her, so why didn't she try to get rid of the plot completely
So she simply said, "I'm not making a fuss. Is it true or not? Senior Brother Xiao, do you really not feel anything at all? Every time I achieve my goal, do you really not feel my indifference? Or do you like to deceive yourself, Senior Brother Xiao? I never liked you, I just used you."
Leng Mushi said: "I am now a disciple of the Dan Dao Elder, and I don't need to use you anymore. I wanted to part ways amicably, but you actually like me..."
She sneered deliberately, "Brother Xiao, being sentimental is a disease that needs to be cured."
"If Senior Brother Xiao really can't forget, I'll go to Master and ask for a pill for you," Leng Mushi said, "After you eat it, you will..."
"I'm hurt," Xiao Mian said suddenly.
Leng Mushi: "...I don't like you whether you are hurt or not."
"I went to look for you a month ago, and my meridians were shattered by the barrier of Cangshengyuan."
"Ah?" Leng Mushi instantly thought of Hua Yanyue. She knew her master too well. She should have thought that Hua Yanyue had always been simple and rough and scary. She said she didn't want Xiao Mian, so it was normal for her to hit people.
"I have spider silk here," Leng Mushi quickly broke away from Xiao Mian and subconsciously went to look through her storage bag, taking out the magic spider silk and giving it to Xiao Mian, "It can reconnect the meridians..."
Xiao Mian, with a stern expression, grabbed her hand holding the magic spider silk again, as if he was afraid that she would disappear out of thin air. He looked down at the spider silk, knowing how precious it was, his eyes couldn't help but flicker for a moment.
But soon he spoke in a low voice, staring at Leng Mushi's eyes without missing a beat, and asked her: "The day I was injured... did you know I went to find you?"
Leng Mushi subconsciously wanted to shake her head. She really didn't know, but Xiao Mian's stare made her sober. She wanted to cut off all ties with the plot, Xiao Mian, and even Leng Tianyin, so she had to do it thoroughly.
So she bit the tip of her tongue, nodded and smiled: "I know."
Leng Mushi said, "I was right next to Master. Master was too harsh. Senior Brother Xiao, don't take it personally. As long as you don't come to Cangshengyuan to find me, Master will naturally not do it again. This spider silk is my apology. I will reconnect your meridians. From now on, we are even."
Xiao Mian used so much force on his hands that Leng Mushi frowned in pain, "We owe each other nothing..."
Xiao Mian repeated this sentence slowly, his expression was cold enough to freeze someone to death, but his tone was low and almost humble: "But you have said many times that you like me and took the initiative to get close to me. We obviously get along very well. Do you really not have any sincerity at all?"
Leng Mushi felt a little suffocated by his questioning. In fact, putting aside the plot and Leng Tianyin, Xiao Mian is indeed a very good person. Although he is not humorous, he is good at listening and does not make people uncomfortable to get along with. He has a kind of naivety that is inconsistent with his appearance, which makes people not be on guard.
But when she thought about the subsequent plot, he and Leng Tianyin's love was so earth-shattering and vigorous that it shook the three realms, and it was impossible for them to even be friends, Leng Mushi just wanted to stay away from him.
So she showed her signature evil smile: "Brother Xiao, I'm telling the truth and not lying to you because I thought you were willing to give me the Rejuvenating Pill. In fact, I don't like your type."
Xiao Mian should have left. He had really lost all his dignity and face. He had never been humiliated like this before. After all, he was a favored child in the Taichu Sect and he should not have put himself in such an embarrassing situation.
It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter, it’s just that you are blind, just leave.
Just pretend nothing happened.
But before he turned around, he couldn't help but ask in a faint voice: "So what kind of..."
Leng Mushi was almost unable to breathe. Xiao Mian was too stubborn. Why didn't he leave despite her humiliation? How could he be so...
Leng Mushi didn't believe in any deep and profound love. They had only known each other for three months. Even if he was moved, it was just like a stone falling into water, without a sound. It should be easy for him to withdraw.
Her parents made a solemn vow of love and a binding commitment to each other in marriage, but they still ended up not wanting to see each other again. Xiao Mian was just embarrassed at best, but that was okay.
It's fine.
Leng Mushi was convinced that love in the world was as thin as clouds, and continued: "As for me..."
She searched quickly in her mind, but there really was no ideal type she had ever admired, and... she couldn't hurt anyone else.
The image of Hua Yanyue suddenly flashed through Leng Mushi's mind, and she suddenly said, "I like someone like Senior Brother Xuanzhu!"
Xiao Mian's hand that was holding her wrist couldn't help but tremble, and the next moment he chuckled slightly, but quickly restrained it.
He let go of Leng Mushi's hand, lowered his head for a moment, took three steps back, and kept a normal distance from Leng Mushi.
In just a few moments, he had returned to his normal state. He straightened his back, circulated his spiritual power in a decent and polite manner, and moved the center of the formation back to its original position.
The exit of the formation behind Leng Mushi suddenly opened. She was leaning against it, but suddenly she staggered backwards.
After she stood still, Xiao Mian bowed slightly to her and said, "I'm sorry, it's me, Meng Lang, who offended Junior Sister. I promise that from now on..."
Xiao Mian raised his head and looked at Leng Mushi, his eyes were covered with ice, no more tenderness, "I will never harass you again, as you said, we owe nothing to each other."
That's right.
Leng Mushi breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao Mian was much more normal now. She nodded and said dryly, "Okay."
Xiao Mian had already walked towards the entrance of the formation.
Leng Mushi slightly moved sideways to avoid the exit, but when she looked down and saw the magic spider silk in her hand, she thought of what Xiao Mian said about his meridians being torn by Hua Yanyue.
So she stretched out her hand to stop it, and handed the spider silk to Xiao Mian: "Brother Xiao, the meridians must be connected, you don't have to...ah!"
Xiao Mian didn't even stop for a moment, and directly used the hilt of the Shuiyun Sword at his waist to push away Leng Mushi's wrist holding the spider silk.
This blow was not light. Leng Mushi felt his coldness and ruthlessness, and the spider silk in her hand was directly knocked away.
…Okay, being as cold as winter to the vicious female supporting character is the normal behavior of the male protagonist.
She naturally didn't know that Xiao Mian seemed to have recovered as before, but her nose was so sore that if he hesitated for a moment longer, he would have burst into tears in front of her in embarrassment.
The author has something to say: Xuan Zhu: My reputation has been damaged... Junior sister, I hope you won’t harm me.
