Xiao Mian felt that he was being played by a hooligan. He finally broke free from her and cautiously held his sword across his body, fearing that she would pounce on him again.
As a result, the hooligan looked at Xiao Mian with tears in his eyes and asked heartbrokenly: "Do you really hate me? Don't you like me at all?"
As she spoke, she shook her head and retreated backwards. She estimated that she was almost at the edge of the cliff, so she pretended to slip and fell towards the edge. Xiao Mian urged his spiritual power under his feet and quickly grabbed Leng Mushi who was falling down the mountain. At this moment, the panic and fear in his heart was beyond Xiao Mian's expectation.
He had never felt such strong emotions before, ever.
When Xiao Mian pulled Leng Mushi up from the cliff, Leng Mushi threw herself into his arms. Xiao Mian's hand still uncontrollably held Leng Mushi's arm tightly without letting go.
Two people were lying on the edge of the cliff, with stars twinkling in the sky. Leng Mushi looked into Xiao Mian's eyes, which were filled with stars and confused because of her own overly strong fear. For a moment, she couldn't control her emotions and bit Xiao Mian's lips.
She went back several lifetimes in order to make up for and repair, suppress and strip away.
But this life is not like that. In this life, she really hopes that everyone can make a new choice.
The memories between her and Xiao Mian were actually very few and mostly bitter. Even the only time they were intimate was part of her plans and calculations at the time.
Only at this moment, she kissed him just because she wanted to kiss him.
When their lips touched, Leng Mushi's heart beat fast. In front of Xiao Mian's stunned gaze, she covered his eyes with her hands, and then deepened her passion.
She even sensed Xiao Mian's struggle and wanted to use her own abilities to imprison him. She wanted to awaken his memory and have a pure love affair with him.
But she didn't do it in the end. She was pushed aside by Xiao Mian who had come back to his senses. She watched Xiao Mian stand up and run away.
Leng Mushi sat cross-legged on the ground, touching her lips and smiling.
She was still worried, worried whether Xiao Mian would fall in love with her again in this life.
She has seen all the joys and sorrows in the world. Human emotions are the richest, but also the most fickle.
But just now, she was very sure that no matter how many times she did it, she didn't have to worry about Xiao Mian not liking her.
When you are close to someone, your body will react before your brain.
He hugged her and responded to her, and even though he was at a loss, he did not reject or resist her.
Leng Mushi licked her lips with the tip of her tongue, savoring the extremely sweet kiss just now. Xiao Mian was a little awkward, but because of this awkwardness, it made him seem even more delicious.
Leng Mushi just sat there without moving. Just as she expected, Xiao Mian came back after a while.
The dishevelled look and clothes he had worn earlier were no longer visible. He looked at Leng Mushi solemnly, his voice as clear as broken jade, "Come with me back to Feihe Courtyard now and tell me who let you out, and I won't report you."
"Why did you report me?" Leng Mushi turned her head to look at Xiao Mian and deliberately licked her lips. "You kissed me. If you report me, I will report you too. I will say... you forced me!"
She looked at his reaction with malicious intent, and Xiao Mian was really angry, "You!"
He exhaled heavily, "Why are you so..."
"So vicious?" Leng Mushi took over the conversation for him, stood up and walked towards Xiao Mian.
Xiao Mian stood there with a timid look on his face, but his fingers were tightly gripping the hilt of the sword.
Leng Mushi smiled and said, "You and I have kissed before. Even if we go to the Punishment Hall now, the elders can easily see what you and I have done."
Xiao Mian frowned slightly and looked at Leng Mushi. Leng Mushi rolled her eyes and said, "I like you, but it's not easy to get into the inner gate. I have to find a backer."
"Brother Xiao, please protect me," Leng Mushi leaned close to him and said in a sticky voice, "I'll do whatever you want. Do you think it's okay?"
She deliberately spoke in a very sinister way and smeared her own image. She just wanted to see if he would still like her if she was a woman who would do anything to achieve her goals, even sacrificing herself.
"What are you talking about!" The veins on the back of Xiao Mian's hand bulged as he grasped the sword, "You..."
"That's who I am," Leng Mushi said frankly, "You were also enjoying the kiss just now."
As she spoke, she hooked the white jade pendant on her neck with her fingertips, and then followed the pendant down towards the mountains.
"Brother Xiao, please think about it. Do you really not like me?" Leng Mushi said, "I can tell you who let me out of Feihe Courtyard, but you have to kiss me like I kissed you just now."
Xiao Mian was almost driven crazy by Leng Mushi. In the end, he grabbed her by the back of the collar and threw her back to Feihe Courtyard without saying a word to her.
Leng Mushi didn't feel how heartless he was because he protected her.
He did not report her, and even when he found her on the stone steps again the next day, he followed her to the edge of the cliff in silence.
Xiao Mian did not rest last night. He stood on the edge of the cliff and did not sit down to eat the food brought by Leng Mushi. Instead, he asked in a cold voice: "What on earth are you going to do? I can report you now."
Yes, they didn't kiss today, and the breath they exchanged must have been washed away by his spiritual power overnight, so Leng Mushi no longer had any bargaining chips to threaten him.
So Leng Mushi started to act pitiful again, "Brother Xiao, are you really so cruel? I just like you very much."
Leng Mushi said: "There are so many high-ranking male disciples in the sect, I didn't look for anyone else, I looked for you specifically, you are not easy to talk to, I just ask you for protection, if you don't want to..."
Leng Mushi closed the lunch box, put away her smile, turned around and left without any reluctance.
Xiao Mian didn't sleep all night again.
No, it should be said that he didn't sleep for the next few days.
He couldn't sleep, and in the end he couldn't even meditate to calm his mind. He didn't report Leng Mushi, but he never again deliberately left himself alone at night and saw her jump out with a smile and pull him to a secluded place.
Then, after ten days, something happened in the disciple courtyard. Two disciples had a dispute over a house.
This matter was originally supposed to be mediated by a disciple from the Punishment Hall, but Xiao Mian also went along with him on an excuse.
He saw Leng Mushi in the yard. She was chatting and laughing with Li Nan, a disciple who was in charge of Feihe Academy and had just climbed into the inner gate from the outer gate.
She smiled beautifully, with her eyes curved, exactly the same as when she smiled at herself.
Xiao Mian couldn't tell what he was feeling. He had been feeling uneasy for days, and now seeing Leng Mushi fawning on others, he looked very gloomy.
Leng Mushi asked Fenlian to pay attention to Xiao Mian's expression and then report to her.
She was indeed talking to Li Nan with a smile on her face, but she was not flirting with him. She was threatening him, "Don't think that no one knows what you did with that rich young man from Courtyard No. 4. You'd better take back all the medicine you sold, without leaving a single one. Otherwise, I will report you."
Li Nan's smile froze on his face, and a dark flash appeared in his eyes, but he had worked hard to climb to his current position, and he also had a face that could show whether he was happy or angry.
"Junior sister, what do you want?" Li Nan said, "I have a bad temper, but I am always gentle to junior sisters."
"I know that my junior sister's spiritual roots are very mixed, and she will enter the outer sect in the future," Li Nan said, "I have been there for several years after all."
This sentence is both a threat and an inducement.
As luck would have it, these words were heard by Xiao Mian who was closer. Xiao Mian's blood suddenly boiled. He really thought that Leng Mushi had abandoned him and tried to depend on someone else, so he turned away and ran away on the spot.
Seeing him run away, Leng Mushi said, "Then you don't have to worry about it. If you don't want me to report you, you should behave yourself in the future. Get me some strong aphrodisiac that a cultivator can smell is wrong, and give me a separate room."
Li Nan raised his eyebrows in surprise, and Leng Mushi smiled at him, "I like an immortal king in the inner sect, and I can't wait to stimulate him. Just get him, I promise that the young master will go down the mountain, and you will be fine. It's not easy to enter the inner sect, so take care of yourself, brother."
It was not difficult for Li Nan to make medicine that the monks could not detect as unusual. He had been in the outer sect for several years and in the inner sect for one year. He was extremely good at scheming and was familiar with everyone. That was why he dared to be so bold. Who would have expected that he would be caught by a little girl.
But it was too easy for Li Nan to get inferior medicine.
So Leng Mushi got the medicine at night, lit it in her new room, and began to wait.
The Xiao Miantu she was waiting for was struggling desperately, his internal breath was in chaos, and his mind was full of Leng Mushi's cunning and smiling face with curved eyebrows.
He now thought that Leng Mushi was an unscrupulous woman, a sinister person, and... someone he felt he could never like.
But it just keeps lingering.
She was as intense as the cinnabar red in an ink painting, dripping there glaringly, and nothing else could be seen.
Xiao Mian finally entered the Cangsheng Courtyard quietly. He violated the prohibition of Taichu Mountain. He even touched the door of Leng Mushi's new room and stood there for a full quarter of an hour. He wanted to leave several times, but he stared at the eternal light leaking from the door and could not move.
Finally he knocked on the door.
Leng Mushi responded in a tender voice, and before opening the door, she asked, "Is this Senior Brother Li?"
The door opened, and Xiao Mian's gloomy face met her eyes. She pretended to be startled and was about to close the door. She was only wearing a thin gauze dress.
Xiao Mian felt his brain was boiling with anger, and other things that he couldn't tell at all.
Because he smelled the extremely low-quality medicine in the room, he knew Leng Mushi's purpose and gritted his teeth.
She is so bad.
Too unself-respecting!
How could she be that kind of person!
Xiao Mian simply couldn't believe it. Such despicable means and evil desires were something a cultivator must not be tainted with at all. Xiao Mian knew he should leave.
But anger and other things were mixed together, and he reached out to grab the door that Leng Mushi had slammed shut. He didn't even feel the pain when his palm was pinched.
He walked into the house, grabbed Leng Mushi's wrist, pressed her against the door, then pinched her frightened little face and blocked her lips.
With... your own lips.
The author has something to say: Xiao Mian: I can’t… resist.
