Yu Qiu didn't expect the door to open just like that, and immediately wanted to look away. After all, in his mind, Xiao Chunmian's room is the girl's boudoir, how can the girl's boudoir be looked at casually!
But in the blink of an eye, he had already seen what he should see. Xiao Chunmian's room was quite clean. There was a teapot and a few cups on the round table in the middle, a few books in the bookcase next to it were neatly arranged, and there was a desk and a bed, and there were no other sundries.
And Xiao Chunmian was in the room, sitting on the head of the bed, concentrating on practicing Qi. It was almost sunset at this time, and the orange light came in from the window, reflecting on Xiao Chunmian's face seemed quite warm.
In the end, Yu Qiu couldn't look away, but kept staring at Xiao Chunmian's face, as if trying to count those long eyelashes.
I just stared like this for an indeterminate amount of time, those long eyelashes trembled slightly, and lifted up, revealing the clear eyes like autumn water underneath. Looking at each other, Yu Qiu panicked, feeling particularly guilty for some reason.
"Xiaoqiu," Xiao Chunmian was very happy, and didn't care about his abruptness at all, "Why are you here?"
Hearing this, Yu Qiu blushed a little. Yeah, what is he here for? It was nothing more than getting something and wanting to give it to the other party, and then came over like offering a treasure... Now that I think about it, he is obviously the one who gave things, why did he seem more eager than the one on the other side who was waiting to receive things? It's really over the top.
After thinking about it, Yu Qiu still passed the flying sword in his hand.
It is said to be a flying sword, but it looks like an ordinary sword at first glance. But if you look closely, you can find a little blue light on the surface, and a blue groove is engraved on the blade, which is cold to the touch. Looking at the light again, there are some delicate lines on it.
Xiao Chunmian stretched out her hand and stroked the sword carefully, "This is..."
"I bought it for you!" Yu Qiu said, "Didn't your previous sword break? Put it away."
Xiao Chunmian turned the sword over and over and stroked it several times, then shook her head lightly, "This sword is too precious..."
Yu Qiu didn't expect that the other party would refuse, so he quickly cut off the conversation and said, "Why is it so expensive? How do you know it's so expensive? Don't guess, I will give it to you and keep it." Although it is indeed quite expensive... Thinking of the more than two hundred low-grade spirits Shi, Yu Qiu's heart is still hurting.
Xiao Chunmian looked up at him with a half-smile, "Do you think I don't see value?"
Yu Qiu was blocked for a while, and didn't know how to explain it, so he just played a rogue, "In short, I bought it for you specially, you have to take it if you take it, or you have to take it if you don't take it. If you are really determined If you don't take it, the sword will be useless, so I just take it back and smash it into pieces."
"Don't!" Xiao Chunmian obviously also loves swords, and he became anxious when he heard this.
He lowered his head and touched the sword again. After a while, he came back to his senses, "You bought it for me?"
Yu Qiu coughed, "Yes."
Xiao Chunmian couldn't tell whether it was surprise or joy, and turned the sword over and over several times, "Why did you buy it for me?"
"There's no reason!" Yu Qiu said, "You are mine, and if your sword is broken, of course I should buy you a new one!" After the words were out of his mouth, Yu Qiu realized that there seemed to be something strange about these words of.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Xiao Chunmian's originally surprised face was now filled with horror.
"I, I mean... you were led into the path of cultivation by me." Yu Qiu quickly explained, "I have to be responsible for you... no, I, I mean, I have to cover you..."
This passage was turned upside down by him, no matter how you look at it, it seems to be getting darker and darker. Yu Qiu thought to himself: Piansheng Xiao Chunmian is a girl again, what if this is really a misunderstanding
Thinking about it this way, Yu Qiu also became anxious, "Anyway, that's what happened, you can take it if you want it, and return it to me if you don't want it!"
As he said that, he stretched out his hand, grabbed the sword and wanted to snatch it back.
"Don't! I'll take it, I'll take it!" Xiao Chunmian quickly reached out to grab the sword.
The hilt was so long that Xiao Chunmian held it directly on the back of Yu Qiu's hand.
Yu Qiu was stunned, his hand was empty, Xiao Chunmian pulled the hilt out of his hand with the other hand, but the remaining hand was still tightly holding the back of Yu Qiu's hand.
"Since Xiao Qiu specially bought it for me, of course I have to accept it." After successfully snatching back the sword, Xiao Chunmian raised her eyes with a smile, but found that Yu Qiu's expression became very subtle.
Yu Qiu's heart was churning with turbulent waves.
He was held by a girl! This girl's hands are quite big, and she can carry her whole hand in her back... No, that's not the point! The point is that he was held by a girl!
You must know that although Yu Qiu has lived for hundreds of years in two lifetimes, he has been focusing on talismans. In addition, Xu Hong took care of everything in his previous life. Yu Qiu will not talk to others easily, let alone talk to girls. I shook hands. This is something that has never happened before, the first time in real life.
No, thinking about it carefully, it's actually not the first time. He had touched Xiao Chunmian's hand before, when they met for the first time in Yulian County. Following this memory, it seems that he not only shook Xiao Chunmian's hand, but also touched Xiao Chunmian's face!
Immediately, the soft and tender feeling at the beginning lingered in Yu Qiu's heart again.
Yu Qiu, a poor hundred-year-old virgin, slowly blushed from this seemingly normal handshake, all the way to the back of his ears.
"Xiao Qiu?" Xiao Chunmian was extremely surprised.
Only then did Xiao Chunmian remember that Yu Qiu seemed to have lost his sleeve.
He hastily let go of Yuqiu's hand and kept apologizing, "Xiaoqiu, I'm sorry, I was too abrupt."
Yu Qiu shook his head lightly.
Feeling the lingering warmth on the back of his hand, Yu Qiu felt a little lost in his heart.
Isn't Xiao Chunmian just reminiscing about the remaining warmth in his heart? Normally, he wouldn't have cared about the temperature, but now seeing Yu Qiu like this, he actually felt that the remaining temperature was getting hot.
"You should keep this sword well. Now you are only on the second level of Qi refining, and you can't control it yet, but you can still use some sword moves like Fantie. When you reach the fourth level of Qi refining, you will learn how to control the sword." Yu Qiu explained again, and then said goodbye with a little disappointment.
Xiao Chunmian kept watching his back until Yu Qiu turned a corner and was blocked by the wall.
After a while, Xiao Chunmian raised her hand and looked at her palm quietly.
"Duanxiu...?" Xiao Chunmian suddenly chuckled. With Yu Qiu's reaction just now, Xiao Chunmian could naturally tell that it was intriguing, and she was intriguing herself. But... being tempted by a man, this feeling is unexpectedly not annoying.
Xiao Chunmian narrowed her eyes slightly.
"By the way," Yu Qiu suddenly turned back from the door, and put the jade slips on the table, "This is the sword formula I found before, and I almost forgot to give it to you. You..."
Looking up while speaking, Yu Qiu found that Xiao Chunmian was putting a hand to his lips, apparently... licking the palm of his hand? Wait, this seems to be the hand that held me just now? what's the situation!
Xiao Chunmian met his eyes, extremely indifferent, "Thank you Xiaoqiu."
He was so calm, Yu Qiu was too embarrassed to be calm, so he nodded, thinking that his eyes must have been dazzled, and walked out of the room again.
No one mentioned this day's episode afterward.
After getting the new Flying Sword and the New Sword Art, Xiao Chunmian practiced the sword with high spirits every day. It was several times more diligent than before, and the daily qi refining did not fall behind. Within a few days, he broke through to Refining the third level of Qi, and then advancing all the way to the third level of perfection.
Yu Qiu did not go so smoothly. On the second day after Xiao Chunmian broke through to the third level of Qi refining, he had already reached the third level of consummation, but after that he couldn't make any progress, and was stuck there as he expected.
The breakthrough of the small realm is not difficult to say, simple is not easy to say, it always needs an opportunity. Yu Qiu is not in a hurry, anyway, there are still three months before Xuanjianzong's entry trial, if he has not broken through after a month, it is not too late.
Then Xiao Chunmian seemed to have found a new activity. He went out early and returned late every day. Instead of practicing swords all day long, his swordsmanship and cultivation seemed to be improving faster.
Yu Qiu still draws talismans every day and refines his energy. After he was able to afford white deer paper, he stopped using new painting methods in large quantities, but finished painting regularly, and then sold them in the market. But within a few days, everyone in Fangshan's collection knew about Yu Qiu's little Fuxiu's name.
After the talismans were sold, Yu Qiu would take a stroll in the market. He wanted to buy a pen. After all, he used a mortal pen to deal with it all day long. It would not be a problem to draw a talisman without using a pen.
But things like pens are hard to find in Fangshan Collection. You must know that the Fangshan collection is full of a group of Qi refining period, one lacks talisman cultivators who need pens, and the other lacks sufficient skill refiners, so although Yu Qiu searches for it every day, he still finds nothing.
Until one day, Yu Qiu found something at the same stall where he bought a sword for Xiao Chunmian last time.
"What is this?" Yu Qiu asked.
The seller let out a smoke ring lazily, "Pen."
"...just the pen holder?"
The seller took a drag on his cigarette, "It's not finished yet."
"Why don't you finish it?" Yu Qiu couldn't help asking after finally seeing hope.
"Lack of materials."
"What?"
"hair."
"..."
"I thought about it, and the black tiger's mane is the most suitable." The seller lazily turned sideways on the chair, "It's a pity that no one has hunted it recently, and it may have to wait a few days, but I guess It's coming soon."
Yu Qiu thought for a while, and then glanced at him, "If I can hunt it down, I'll give you a 50% discount on this pen, how about it?"
The seller shook his head, "No, this pen is custom-made by someone else, so it's not for sale."
Someone made it to order? This answer really surprised Yu Qiu. It's not that he hasn't thought of custom-made before, but the cost of custom-made is half more than normal, and Yu Qiu is not very willing to pay the money when the mortal pen can handle it. And there are very few talisman repairers in Fangshan Collection. Besides him, who else would need a custom-made pen
"He's a pretty boy." The seller said, and gave him a surprised look, "Why, don't you know?"
Yu Qiu was at a loss, "Why should I know?"
"But the person who ordered this pen..." said the seller, "the sword that you bought from me that day is hanging on his waist."
