The two were very close, and Xie Shiyi naturally noticed Yan Qing's tears. His body stiffened slightly, and he was a little at a loss in the darkness, and gently ended the kiss. The lips separated, and this kiss that started out aggressively ended in tenderness.
Yan Qing was now having difficulty breathing. He clutched Xie Shiyi's shoulders tightly with both hands and slowly calmed his breathing.
After a while, he suddenly laughed out loud.
Xie Shiyi lowered his eyes and gently wiped his tears with his fingertips. He was not a reserved person, but because of Liuli Xin, he seldom cared about anything since he was a child. In the past hundred years of ruling the Immortal Alliance, he had seen blood, tears, and separation. It was the first time he experienced love in the world, and he knew what it felt like to be heartbroken.
Yan Qing cried.
Xie Shiyi's hand, which was placed on his neck, moved down and slowly stroked his back. He didn't know what Yan Qing had been through, but he might have some pent-up emotions that needed to be vented.
Yan Qing's face was still a little flushed, and her eyes were also bright after being washed by tears. She looked up and asked with a smile: "Xie Shiyi, when did you know that I like you?"
Xie Shiyi said: "Today."
This? Yan Qing was completely confused: "Huh?"
I just found out today
Xie Shiyi said: "Jinghong guessed it 15 years ago, but later he felt that he guessed wrong, so he didn't dare to guess again."
After listening to his words, Yan Qing finally understood Xie Shiyi's "no mistake" in Tinglan Secret Realm. He felt both amused and sighed. So Xie Shiyi saw everything, but didn't dare to deduce the correct answer
Bingxue Liulixin could actually be so hesitant? No wonder every flirtation was so ambiguous, and every attempt was always stopped at the right time.
Yan Qing grasped his shoulders with his fingers, tilted his head and laughed quietly for a long time. The depression and fear in his heart disappeared. He turned around and a strong light emerged in his peach blossom eyes. He took advantage of Xie Shiyi's unpreparedness, imitated his previous action, twisted his shoulders, leaned over and kissed Xie Shiyi on the lips.
A kiss moves the whole body.
Xie Shiyi was stunned for a moment, his black hair falling on the sides of his snow-white face, his eyelashes trembling, and for the first time a look of shock appeared in his eyes.
Yan Qing thought he was amusing, so she stood up and kissed him again, then called out his name with a smile: "Yaoyao."
In fact, he liked to tease Xie Shiyi when he was a child, but he rarely succeeded. The final result was either that he was irritated to the point of gnashing his teeth, or that the two of them would taunt each other.
Want to see? It's almost impossible for Xie Shiyi to lose his composure? Because Xie Shiyi's personality is cold, but it has nothing to do with innocence and dullness. On the contrary, Xie Shiyi understands love and insight into the world, but he is cold on the outside and even colder on the inside, and he is not affected by wind and snow.
Xie Shiyi only does things that make sense and follows his own plans. He doesn't have the slightest curiosity about people or things outside of his plans.
Unexpectedly, the things that I couldn’t do no matter how hard I tried when I was a child, can now be done easily.
Yan Qing looked at Xie Shiyi's dazed expression in the icy blue light of the butterfly. His back was as straight as a bamboo in the snow, and his expression was less distant and cold. Because of his outstanding appearance, he really looked like a pure and innocent "young lady" from a famous family.
Yan Qing was even more delighted, and kissed her again, saying, "Yaoyao." After thinking for a moment, he changed his name and said, "Madam."
"Yes." Yan Qing held back his smile and stretched out his hand to lift up a strand of Xie Shiyi's hair. The cool black hair fell between his fingers, and he said, "I suddenly remembered that back in Shifang City, you were already kept in my golden house as my concubine and named the wife of the young city lord."
"Seventh Eunuch is the matchmaker, and the Lord of Baicheng is the guest. You also drank my wedding wine. Yaoyao, you can't deny it."
Now thinking back to their reunion in Shifang City, I realize there was a undercurrent between them, but they were both unaware of it at that time.
In front of the city gate, Xie Shiyi walked towards him through the cloud of green smoke; the lights were dim, and in the room full of jackals, he smiled and handed the wine cup to him.
The sound of the bones creaking in the Red Lotus Pavilion was like a fifteen-year-old bell under the eaves.
It turned out that the right eye twitching that morning really meant good marriage.
Yan Qing felt clear-headed and laughed, "Well, Madam, I still owe you a wedding."
Xie Shiyi looked at her hair that he was playing with in his hands, but she didn't pull it out. She just said calmly: "You owe me more than this."
Yan Qing: “Hmm?”
Xie Shiyi raised his eyes. His eyes, which were like falling snow and jade, were now filled with passion and desire. He said calmly, "After the wedding wine, it will be the wedding night, my husband."
Wedding night
Why did Xie Shiyi call him husband, and he was the one who felt embarrassed??!
Yan Qing only felt a surge of heat rising rapidly from his cheeks and burning quickly to his ears. He swallowed the teasing stuck in his throat.
"I..." After being stuck for a long time, Yan Qing could only smile awkwardly and change the subject in order to avoid embarrassment: "I don't think this can be rushed. I'm not ready yet. And you're seriously injured now, I can't bear to let you go."
Xie Shiyi looked at him strangely, turned his head and said nothing.
The current under the bamboo raft was getting faster and faster. We must have reached the exit of the Black Water Marsh Cave. The number of butterflies gradually decreased, and only two or three were circling the moss-covered rocks. Yan Qing saw the familiar scene and smiled, recalling: "I remember that in order to get the Ganoderma Lucidum, I had to approach the demon. I pretended to be a bride and you pretended to be a wedding guard. But before we got inside, we quarreled and fought on the boat."
Xie Shiyi: “Yeah.”
Yan Qing: "I asked you if you were sure, and you said no. But when you killed that evil Taoist, you did it without any hesitation. I think you are very sure." Yan Qing thought about the past, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there were many clues to be found.
"In the end, you even dug out the demon Taoist's eyeballs! Yaoyao," Yan Qing asked jokingly, "You were jealous at the time, jealous that I was pretending to be the demon Taoist's bride, so you said out of spite that you were not sure."
Xie Shiyi didn't look at him and said calmly, "Yeah."
Yan Qing couldn't believe this reply: "Just a hum?! I told you that you're jealous and you replied with a hum?!"
You were so awkward at that time, don't you feel the slightest bit of shame for having your secret exposed?!
The bamboo raft reached the cave entrance. Daylight shone in from outside. Xie Shiyi was seriously injured, his clothes were blood red, and he frowned as he looked at the dense water plants outside the cave.
Yan Qing gritted his teeth and held his breath, leaning closer: "No, you have a glass heart that can see through everything at once, but I have been deceived by you for so long. This is not fair." Yan Qing was very interested: "Yaoyao, tell me about your two hundred years of secret love."
Xie Shiyi pursed his lips and turned around suddenly. The lust aroused by Yan Qing's repeated kisses was still deep in his blood, rubbing against his rationality.
Xie Shiyi's eyes were deep. He pressed his fingers against Yan Qing's lips, while also keeping him away from getting any closer.
Yan Qing: “Hmm?”
Xie Shiyi's voice was low and hoarse: "Yan Qing, if you are not ready, don't provoke me."
"Otherwise you'll regret it."
The bright sunlight streamed across his brows. Xie Shiyi suddenly smiled softly, his pale face made his lips and eyes look even more gorgeous, the ice and snow melted, and the spring scenery was endless.
Xie Shiyi said calmly: "I hope that when you are completely honest with me, you can still chatter like you do now."
After saying this, he seemed to be really afraid of losing control, so he stood up and walked out of the cave. The red robe swept across the bamboo raft and the black water, and his back seemed to be outlined by a circle of clear light against the backlight.
Yan Qing: “…”
Yan Qing: “?”
Xie Shiyi, this is how you talk to your husband!
When Yan Qing hadn't resolved her own knot, she hesitated and couldn't let go because she was unhappy. Now that she has confirmed her feelings with Xie Shiyi, her childhood interest has rekindled.
He really likes to find out Xie Shiyi's bottom line.
"Is your secret love story so shameful?" Yan Qing also stood up and used provocation: "Xie Shiyi, do you have a special room just to collect my portraits and my things? No way, is it true?"
The bamboo raft was blocked by dense water plants. When Yan Qing stood up, he found that his legs were numb after squatting for too long. In addition, he was a little too proud of himself, so he walked and talked without paying attention, and was tripped by a floating vine on the water. He rushed forward, and Xie Shiyi stood outside the cave, stunned, and quickly came over to catch him. The moment he fell into Xie Shiyi's arms, the overwhelming light outside the tunnel fell, and all kinds of tiny and dense insects and butterflies flew out from the water plants.
Yan Qing couldn't stop laughing as he smelled the cold and refreshing scent. He moved closer and asked in a dragging, lowered voice, like a spoiled child: "Yaoyao, tell me what you did during your one hundred years of seclusion."
Xie Shiyi: “…”
Xie Shiyi slowly closed his eyes and took a deep and shallow breath. In the end, there was no other way. He took his hand and led him out of the Black Water Marsh. His voice was as light as snow: "Do you really want to know that much?"
Yan Qing: “Yeah, that’s right.”
Xie Shiyi had been in seclusion for a hundred years since he came back from Shifang City, and that was when he had just taken over the Immortal Alliance. The entire Upper Heaven was speculating on the reason, and he was actually curious too.
Xie Shiyi said: "After you died, the ruthless way was broken."
Yan Qing already knew it, but her heart still trembled, and she held his hand back.
Xie Shiyi pursed his lips. Actually, for him, talking about the past was nonsense. But since Yan Qing wanted to hear it, he didn't mind telling it all.
"Since I came out of Shifang City, I have no spiritual energy at all. I can only start from the beginning of Qi training in my body during seclusion. I got the inheritance from Nandou Temple. Even if I don't practice the Ruthless Dao, I can practice very quickly. The Unregrettable Sword can strengthen my essence. I initially gave myself 60 years."
Yan Qing was puzzled: "Sixty? Years?!"
Xie Shiyi lowered his eyes and said, "Well, I will come out of seclusion in sixty years, and then go to the Cangwang Sea to find the Demon God."
Yan Qing's pupils shrank: "Why are you looking for the devil?"
Xie Shiyi said calmly, "I thought you were a nightmare at that time. The source of nightmare is the devil. I thought maybe he could find a way to revive you."
Yan Qing: "Then you secluded yourself for a hundred years..."
"Yes." Xie Shiyi nodded and said lightly, "There was a problem when the baby was formed."
Yan Qing fell silent again, thinking of Yuqing Peak Xie Shiyi's extreme caution towards his baby-making.
He once thought that Xie Shiyi's experience in rebuilding the broken path came from the ancient books hidden in the Wangqing Sect. Unexpectedly, he personally experienced every step and every level.
Because she was worried about him giving birth to a baby, she was even willing to pretend to accompany him down the mountain and do the most basic task of exorcising nightmares as the leader of the Immortal Alliance.
Yan Qing asked in a hoarse voice: "What did you see when you formed your baby?"
Xie Shiyi was silent for a while, then said, "When I was forming my infant, I saw the Red Lotus Pavilion and you told me to take a nap first."
—Take a nap first, Xie Shiyi. When you wake up, everything will be over.
Xie Shiyi smiled without any smile in his eyes, and did not elaborate on the forty years of being stuck in the Nascent Soul stage and repeatedly breaking the elixir to cultivate again and again. He only said: "After I went into seclusion, I thought about starting from Zijinzhou. At that time, Zixiao's death involved Fuhua Sect and the Qin family, so I went to Huichun Sect."
Yan Qing closed his eyes and opened them again. The things he had always been reluctant to say could no longer be concealed.
He murmured, "Xie Shiyi, luckily I followed you to Nanzezhou."
"You shouldn't go looking for the devil." Yan Qing smiled and said softly, "If anyone is going to look for someone, I should go. What was parasitic on me at the bottom of the sea was not a nightmare, but... a devil."
