Xiao Mian closed his eyes tightly and kissed Leng Mushi awkwardly and fiercely, as if he was venting some kind of loss of control.
Therefore he didn't see that Leng Mushi was smiling.
She smiled with her eyes curved, cunningly plotting against him, using such despicable means to plot against him, but she was very happy.
Because even though there was such a misunderstanding, Xiao Mian still walked towards her without hesitation, just like before.
When Xiao Mian finally woke up from his coma and the pungent smell of inferior medicine in the room, Leng Mushi had already pretended to be in tears, pursing her lips with a little bit of skin broken at the corners of her mouth, and complained: "Why did you come here!"
"You..." Leng Mushi hit him in anger. Xiao Mian grabbed her and asked her, "If I didn't come, who were you waiting for by lighting such a despicable incense?!"
Leng Mushi struggled, "I am such a despicable person. You have already rejected me and you look down on me. Why do you have to deliberately humiliate me!"
Xiao Mian was panting like an ox, staring at her fiercely, and was so angry at her self-righteousness that his head was dizzy, but he did not let her go. Instead, he pursed his bright red lips and said, "Li Nan has evil intentions. You will be harmed by him. How could you be so stupid to be deceived by him?"
"What's wrong with Senior Brother Li Nan? He is an outer sect disciple..." Leng Mushi acted hesitantly, "He said he has been in the outer sect for many years. He wouldn't lie to me, would he?"
Xiao Mian held Leng Mushi's wrist with one hand, looking at her foolishly after being deceived. He thought that she had grown so smart that she had used them crookedly, and he could see some naivety in her.
If Leng Mushi knew what he was thinking at the moment, she would definitely sigh and say that this is what people say: beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.
However, she had never tried to read Xiao Mian's mind, and she only saw that Xiao Mian's expression softened because of her words.
He closed his eyes, pursed his still numb lips, leaned against the door, and slowly pulled Leng Mushi and put her head in his arms.
His voice buzzed from his chest into Leng Mushi's ears, "Don't be fooled again, and don't use these despicable means again. Dress like this."
Leng Mushi didn't say anything. Xiao Mian patted her head and said in a low voice, "If you really go to the outer gate, don't be afraid... I will protect you."
Leng Mushi smiled sincerely and reached out to hug Xiao Mian tightly. She smiled so happily that Xiao Mian realized something was wrong.
He looked at Leng Mushi rubbing his chest affectionately and inexplicably felt that he had been deceived.
But he couldn't find any evidence. Leng Mushi had already put her arms around his waist, looking up and acting like a spoiled child. "You promised, so you can't go back on your word."
Xiao Mian uttered "hmm" with a complicated expression and was pulled to the window by Leng Mushi.
Leng Mushi pushed Xiao Mian to sit, but Xiao Mian was terrified and waved his hands around, "I said I'm protecting you, but I don't want to do this with you. This won't work. Don't... don't do this."
Leng Mushi looked at him with a stifled smile, and forced him to sit on the bed, then moved closer to him. When he closed his eyes tightly and grabbed the quilt, ready to jump up and run away at any time, she brushed his cheek and leaned her upper body on him, forcing him to bend over and lean back...
Then he took out some medicine and ointment from the cabinet beside the bed.
"What are you thinking about, brother." Leng Mushi said, "Do you miss it very much?"
Leng Mushi said, picking up her collar with her fingers, "If it's really urgent, we..."
Xiao Mian looked at the ointment in Leng Mushi's hand and realized that he had misunderstood. His face suddenly turned red.
He quickly held down her hand that was trying to pull at her collar, "I didn't think about it!"
Leng Mushi made a "tsk" sound and softly patted the back of his hand which was slightly red from being pinched, "Okay, okay, I am the lustful devil, it is me who wants it, you don't want to..."
After applying the cool ointment on his hands, Xiao Mian finally felt that his hands were indeed burning. Not only his hands, but also his face and heart were burning.
It's like when you're frozen to the bone in the coldest days of winter, and then a sip of strong, spicy, warm wine goes down your stomach, and then all your internal organs start to burn, and your exhaled breath becomes scalding hot.
Leng Mushi was just like a glass of strong liquor to him.
Leng Mushi felt Xiao Mian's gaze, which was the same as when he looked at her before, even hotter.
She couldn't help but want to show off her pride, she wanted to tell everyone in the world, she wanted to tell the demon that had been integrated into her inner elixir, look, no matter what she was like, Xiao Mian would like her.
But she had no one to talk to, so she could only hold down her curly little tail, raised her head and looked at Xiao Mian shyly and said, "If you keep looking at me like that, I'm really going to take off my clothes."
Xiao Mian was stunned for a moment after hearing what was said before he reacted and quickly turned his eyes away. His ears and neck were red and he couldn't suppress a smile even with his lips pursed.
Soon he turned back, looked at Leng Mushi and said, "Why are you so shameless?"
Leng Mushi half-knelt in front of Xiao Mian's knees, carefully wiping his red palms, and said, "No, I don't. I only do this to you."
Xiao Mian thought of what she had said about Senior Brother Li before she opened the door, and the smile in his eyes froze slightly, "But you are not my only choice, you are not..."
He didn't say anything else, but Leng Mushi raised her eyes and glanced at him with the corner of her eyes, full of charm.
"Then why don't you stay here tonight and wait to see if Senior Brother Li will come."
Xiao Mian reacted very quickly and understood what was happening. He pulled up the squatting Leng Mushi, put her on his legs, and held her in his arms face to face.
"So you plotted against me, why are you so cunning!" Xiao Mian wanted to bite her nose, "You are so mean..."
He hugged her tighter again, saying that she was extremely bad, but he couldn't suppress the joy that was erupting in his heart.
How annoyed he was before, how surprised he is now.
Leng Mushi was strangled by him and had difficulty breathing, but she did not struggle. Instead, she buried herself deeply in his arms and said to his chest, "Li Nan teamed up with a rich kid in the No. 4 courtyard to sell pills that blocked the test of spiritual roots. I was threatening him during the day."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Mian inquired carefully about the matter of the elixir. Leng Mushi betrayed Li Nan without mercy. It would be difficult for such a person with evil intentions to mend his ways if he didn't learn a lesson.
She told Xiao Mian everything she knew, and Xiao Mian said, "I will talk to the disciples in the Punishment Hall of the sect."
But as he embraced Leng Mushi and looked at her closely, he felt like he was trapped in a demonic barrier and couldn't get out. He was actually getting along with her like this...
But he had his arms around her waist and didn't want to let go. Xiao Mian couldn't help but play with her hair and whispered to her what to pay attention to in Feihe Courtyard.
"Don't take random medicines. There is no magic medicine that can deceive the elders and pass the spiritual root test."
"Don't leave Feiheyuan again. If... if you miss me, I'll come to see you every night after the evening class," Xiao Mian said a little embarrassedly, and changed his words, "Or come once every three days..."
"No, if you say every night, it means every night." Leng Mushi pinched his mouth, "Every night."
Xiao Mian nodded. His legs were a little numb, but he didn't want to let go of Leng Mushi. He shook her and saw that she hugged him tighter. He said, "You don't have to worry about being assigned to the outer sect. Although you have poor aptitude, as long as you practice hard, you can always enter the inner sect."
Xiao Mian said: "I will share my resources with you."
If Leng Mushi was really a disciple with mixed spiritual roots who had achieved his position on his own, she would probably kneel down and kowtow to Xiao Mian after hearing what he said.
The resources of the disciples in the sect are limited. No matter how good the relationship between cultivators is, they will not share them with others. Resources are the capital for cultivators to advance, and advancement means an increase in lifespan.
When Xiao Mian said he was protecting her, he didn't mean to protect her from being bullied by other outer disciples, but to protect her so that they could practice together...
Alas, how come I am still so stupid after several lifetimes
The two of them now think that the other is stupid. Leng Mushi pretended to be touched and dropped two gold beans. Xiao Mian then promised that he would never despise her for her poor qualifications.
Leng Mushi was simply addicted to teasing him, but as it was almost midnight, no matter how much she pestered him, Xiao Mian still left.
Leng Mushi slept soundly. The next morning, Fenlian poked her head out of the window and asked, "How's the progress? I told you to at least leave a good impression on people. Pretend to be pitiful and weak. Men all have the mentality of protecting the weak, and it will be easy. You said you had to lie to him, and use such a bad joke..."
"It's done." Leng Mushi looked at herself in the mirror and found that her complexion was rosy. She really looked like someone who could find a backer with her beauty.
"Success...success?!" Fen Lian was shocked.
"Is this possible? You awakened his memory?!" Fenlian asked.
"No, he just likes me," Leng Mushi said, "Isn't that okay?"
Fen Lian didn't believe it until Xiao Mian came to find Leng Mushi with a food box at night. She saw it in her room and then she had to believe it with her eyes wide open.
"He's really resourceful, worthy of being the Lord of Heaven..." Fenlian thought of Xiaomei, and wondered what the chances of success would be if she also forced herself on him, and finally gave up.
Xiao Mian brought several delicious foods, including some steamed dried meat of the Chenhuo beast.
Xiao Mian handed the cut pieces of dried meat to Leng Mushi and said, "You can eat some of this. I extracted some spiritual energy and processed it. It is within the range your body can accept. This is the dried meat of the Chenhuo beast. It is good for you."
He put the dried meat into Leng Mushi's bowl, and then picked up some vegetables to eat.
Leng Mushi looked down at the thickness of the cross-section of the dried meat and suddenly asked, "Did Zhu Rong give it to you?"
Xiao Mian choked suddenly and then started coughing violently.
Leng Mushi saw that no one in the world could make the dried meat so rough and thick, so it must be that little girl Zhu Rong.
Although Xiao Mian had dealt with it, Leng Mushi still recognized it.
Xiao Mian coughed for a while, controlled himself and drank some water, then asked Leng Mushi cautiously, "Are you angry?"
What he actually wanted to ask was, how do you know
But Xiao Mian felt guilty, after all, this was indeed a gift from Zhu Rong.
"I have many spies. If you dare to flirt with other female cultivators behind my back, I will never forgive you."
Leng Mushi said fiercely, stretching her fist in front of Xiao Mian. Xiao Mian grabbed her hand and smiled, "Don't be angry, I exchanged it with her for the Curse-Removing Pill, thinking that you could eat it."
Xiao Mian laughed, "I won't do anything with other female cultivators," he actually explained seriously, "Don't worry, I don't know many female cultivators."
Leng Mushi felt soft in her heart, she knew that for the low-level disciples of Taichu Mountain, low-level elixirs like the Curse-Removing Pill were both useful and difficult to obtain.
Hua Yanyue and Xuanzhu are probably busy refining other high-level elixirs or sticky things. Cangshengyuan only has one supply per month, so it is very precious.
Xiao Mian had just gotten along with her in an "unpleasant" way yesterday, and today he started to exchange the elixir for dried meat for her.
She felt very soft in her heart, but she couldn't show that she knew the effect of the curse-removing pill, so she could only smile and snuggle into Xiao Mian's arms.
I said sincerely and sweetly, "Brother, you are so good to me."
The author has something to say: Leng Mushi: Okay, you protect me.
