Xiao Yuqing rolled up his sleeves, bent down slightly, picked up the broken pieces of the bowl from the ground, and put them aside.
While he was picking up the pieces, he also reminded her carefully: "Miss Yu, be careful when you walk. Don't prick your feet. There may be small pieces of broken porcelain on the ground."
Yu Zhengzheng was stunned. She didn't hear a word he said, but just subconsciously looked towards his arm.
His arms were as white as jade and as smooth as freshly peeled eggs. When the golden sunlight shone down on them, his arms were so clean that not even a tiny hair could be seen, let alone any red moles.
It seems that she misunderstood him
Yu Zhengzheng felt a little guilty, but no matter what, she felt a little relieved.
Xiao Yuqing had helped her a lot, and after all, she didn't want him to have anything to do with An Ning.
Yu Zhengzheng squatted down and reached out to pick up a piece of broken porcelain: "Thank you, Brother Xiao."
These words came from the heart of gratitude.
Xiao Yuqing still smiled warmly, and his bony fingers gently placed on the back of her palm: "Girls shouldn't touch these. If you cut your fingers, it will leave scars, which is not good."
Yu Zhengzheng was almost melted by his words. He was simply like a warm and sunny big brother next door. His every move and behavior revealed gentleness and thoughtfulness.
Especially compared with the Ghost King, a man who always gave her the cold shoulder, grabbed her by the collar or pinched her neck, Xiao Yuqing was like an oasis in the desert, the sweet dew after a long drought.
The fingertips he placed on the back of her palm were warm. This action seemed ordinary, but on the gentle and polite Xiao Yuqing, it seemed to have a different meaning.
Yu Zhengzheng saw that his cheeks were a little red. Although she didn't know why he was blushing, she hesitated for a moment and decided to cooperate with him and act shy.
She did not withdraw her arm, but pretended to be reserved and slowly lowered her head, looking at him with a shy look.
Xiao Yuqing turned her head away somewhat embarrassedly, but forgot to take back the big palm covering her hand.
Yu Zhengzheng was just teasing him, and she wanted to stop while she was about to take her hand back, but her eyes inadvertently swept across the bruise on his elbow.
She was stunned.
The bruise looks quite large. How did he get it on his elbow
Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, Xiao Yuqing turned his head back. When he turned around, he saw that she looked a little dazed.
He followed her gaze to his elbow, and smiled warmly with a normal expression: "Maybe they kidnapped him when he was unconscious, and he bumped into something on the way. It's okay."
Yu Zhengzheng nodded: "Brother Xiao, you were hit hard, remember to apply some medicine, otherwise you will be in constant pain in two days."
After saying that, without waiting for Xiao Yuqing to say anything else, she stood up and walked back.
Her steps as she left were a little stiff, and the smile on her face disappeared.
The man who hid in the closet of An Ning's bamboo house that day escaped by using his elbow to break through the closet and the wall.
Moreover, the man used his right arm, and Xiao Yuqing's bruised elbow was also on his right arm.
Is this just a coincidence
No, Xiao Yuqing's actions just now were too abnormal.
He has always been calm and steady, so how could he not even be able to hold a bowl of water steadily
Even if he really failed, given his usually gentle and polite personality, he would certainly not do such a rude thing as rolling up his sleeves in front of a woman, exposing most of his arms.
It looked as if he was deliberately exposing his arms to prove his innocence.
Yu Zhengzheng sat back at the wooden table in despair, with a faint sneer ringing in her ears: "What a love story between a man and a woman, what a good show."
She raised her head in a daze and looked towards the source of the sound.
Although his lips were smiling, his eyes were icy cold, like the frost in December. There was no trace of a smile in his eyes.
Yu Zhengzheng took a while to digest the information before she realized that this 'love between a man and a woman' referred to her and Xiao Yuqing.
She subconsciously explained: "Don't get me wrong, he just gave me a bowl of water to rinse my mouth..."
Rong Shang sneered: "The hands that were delivering water were stacked together?"
Yu Zhengzheng: “…”
Why is he being so sarcastic
What's wrong with stacking them together
She looked at him in confusion: "How do you know we are stacked together?"
Rong Shang was stunned.
How did he know
Of course, I saw it with my eyes.
But he had clearly turned around, so when did he turn around and look at them
He doesn't remember.
He only remembered that when he looked over, he saw their hands folded together and her shy expression.
Rong Shang was silent for a moment, then he returned to his calm demeanor. He asked nonchalantly, "What are you guys talking about? You seem so happy."
Yu Zhengzheng said truthfully: "We didn't talk about anything."
Rong Shang raised an eyebrow: "Then why are you blushing?"
Yu Zhengzheng: “…”
When did she blush
She said patiently: "He just accidentally broke the bowl, and I picked up the broken pieces with him, but I didn't..." without blushing.
Before he finished speaking, Rong Shang placed his bony hand on the table thoughtfully.
He exerted a little force with his arms, and an invisible air wave spread out from his palms to the left and right. Only a layer of white light with a sharp force swept across, and the utensils exploded one after another.
None of the utensils on the entire long table were spared and were all affected by the air wave. Ceramic fragments mixed with human flesh fell to the ground.
The savages who were eating saw that their dinner was gone, and they all jumped up scratching their heads, looking around for the culprit.
But they didn't know, and couldn't figure out who did it.
The culprit was bending down, calmly picking up the broken porcelain pieces under Yu Zhengzheng's feet.
He picked up two pieces, and seeing that she was still not moving, he raised his eyes and asked, "Why don't you pick them up?"
Yu Zhengzheng: “…” I’m picking up your sister!
She looked speechlessly at the thin layer of frost that had condensed on the long wooden table. She could easily guess who had done it with her toes.
Rong Shang saw that she had a strange expression on her face and was a little confused.
Didn’t she say that she was blushing because the bowl was broken into pieces on the floor and they were picking up the broken pieces together
Which step did he make wrong
Rong Shang was in a daze. When Yu Zhengzheng looked up, he saw the savages slowly gathering towards them.
She was stunned for a moment, and then saw a handprint deeply embedded in the table in front of him.
Yu Zhengzheng realized that he had ruined the savages' dinner and they were looking for the murderer.
Looking at the mace in the savage's hand, she couldn't help but shiver, as if the sharp spikes had pierced her head.
She didn't care about anything else and quickly pulled his arm and ran into the woods.
Rong Shang was still holding a piece of broken porcelain in his hand. He subconsciously followed her footsteps, but his expression was a little dazed.
Even though there was a thin layer of cloth between us, I could clearly feel her body temperature where her fingertips touched.
That scorching temperature seems familiar.
He pursed his thin lips and lowered his eyes to follow her white fingertips closely.
Her fingers looked soft, I wondered if they felt as soft to the touch.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but stretch out his big, bony hand towards her, as if he wanted to touch her gently.
But when his fingertips accidentally touched the falling leaves, and the lush green leaves turned to ashes in the blink of an eye, he paused.
Rong Shang woke up.
He couldn't touch her with his hands, she would die.
God was born standing on the top of the mountain, but his life was destined to be lonely and desolate.
In order to touch the Third Prince of Donghuang, the goddess was willing to abdicate and stripped herself of her divine power.
What a stupid move.
He chuckled and waved away her little hand that was tapping on his arm.
Rong Shang stopped and said calmly, "Why are you running?"
Yu Zhengzheng was running out of breath. She bent down and pointed at the wild men outside the woods: "He, they are going to cause trouble for you..."
He looked in the direction she pointed, and saw the savages holding maces and axes in their hands, pointing at the table and gesturing at something with an angry look on their faces.
Rong Shang narrowed his eyes slightly: "So what?"
Yu Zhengzheng was stunned for a moment.
Yes, he was not afraid of them. Even if another group of savages came, they could not be his match.
Why did she drag him along
No, it should be said that she should just run away by herself. Whether he can defeat the savages has nothing to do with her, and whether there will be danger should not be within her consideration.
Yu Zhengzheng smiled at him and said, "I won't do that next time."
Obviously, he was the first to think that she was making a big deal out of nothing, but when he heard her words, his expression became a little unhappy: "Why not?"
Yu Zhengzheng didn't understand what he meant: "Because you don't need it."
Rong Shang: "How do you know I don't need it?"
Yu Zhengzheng: "But you just said..."
Rong Shang: "I didn't say anything."
Yu Zhengzheng: “…” Crazy!
She took a breath and forced a smile: "So what do you mean?"
Rong Shang: "I don't mean anything."
Yu Zhengzheng collapsed. What does it mean by "it's meaningless"
She used her last bit of patience and asked through gritted teeth: "So what should I do next time to satisfy you?"
Rong Shang was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Just do as you did just now. From now on, just do as usual."
A crack appeared in Yu Zhengzheng's smile. She felt that the man in front of her was like a rebellious teenager in puberty, speaking in an awkward and contradictory way.
She looked at him with the eyes of an old mother caring for a mentally retarded person, and nodded slowly and solemnly: "Okay, I'll do as you say."
The air was quiet for a moment, and she couldn't help but ask, "Can we go back now?"
After a while, it became dark.
This woods is full of pests and poisonous snakes. Since he is not afraid of those savages, it means he is completely confident. Then why are they still staying in the woods
Rong Shang saw that she was in a hurry to go back, and thought that she was anxious to see Xiao Yuqing. He said in a cold voice: "Do you like him so much?"
Yu Zhengzheng frowned: "Who do you like?"
Seeing that she was still pretending to be stupid, his tone became colder: "Xiao Yuqing."
She was slightly startled, looking a little surprised.
Why would the Ghost King think that she likes Xiao Yuqing
Although Xiao Yuqing did grow up to her aesthetic standards, what’s the use of just being good-looking
The eldest senior brother was also good-looking, but whenever she thought of him now, she wanted to skin him alive and take out his bones. It would be best if she could use Xiang Feng’s Chixiao sword to stab the eldest senior brother in the chest.
She was about to explain, but stopped when the words came to her lips.
Why should I explain to him
Just because she was nominally his spare cauldron
Yu Zhengzheng wanted to point at his nose and ask him in a stern voice, what the hell is it to you?!
But his sinister eyes fell on her, like a heavy weight hitting her head, forcing her to suppress the thought.
Yu Zhengzheng curled her lips: "I don't like him."
There was a hint of displeasure in her tone, which sounded reluctant to Rong Shang.
He sneered, "You don't like him? Then why did you want to peek at him changing clothes?"
It was just that he remembered that it was Xiao Yuqing who entered the screen first when changing clothes. Later, Xiao Yuqing said that her purse had fallen outside and asked them to go in and change first. Only then did he go behind the screen.
If Yu Zhengzheng was peeking, it was because she wanted to peek at Xiao Yuqing.
When he thought about how she almost peeked at Xiao Yuqing's body, he inexplicably wanted to crush Xiao Yuqing's head.
Yu Zhengzheng was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to explain.
She peeked at Xiao Yuqing to confirm whether there was a red mole on Xiao Yuqing's arm, and whether he was a puppet controlling An Ning.
If this is to be explained, it will certainly involve the fact that Dao An Ning is a puppet.
But if he asked her how she knew about this, would she tell him that she used the dream-entering technique to enter An Ning's dream and saw it
This sounds ridiculous.
Although this book is set in a fantasy setting, the art of entering dreams has never appeared in the original text. She has been here for more than ten years and has never heard of anyone in the six realms who can use the art of entering dreams.
Even if we leave this matter aside, she once used the dream-entering technique to enter his dreams. If he knew that she had this skill, he would probably notice something unusual.
The last time she appeared in his dream, she had looked at him for a few seconds while he was locked in an iron cage. Since he didn't know the art of entering dreams, he just thought he was seeing things.
But if he knew the art of entering dreams, and if he remembered what happened that day, wouldn’t she be headless
She didn't think that the Ghost King would be willing for others to sneak into his dreams and see his tragic past when he was unaware.
Dreaming is a very private matter. Not to mention the Ghost King, even if you put yourself in her shoes, if someone sneaked into her dream while she was sleeping, she would also want to kill that person.
The only difference between her and the Ghost King was that she only dared to sha're:n the thought, but he would directly sha're:n it.
Yu Zhengzheng took a breath and said seriously, "I don't like him, I really don't like him. That incident was an accident."
"If you really want an explanation, I'll tell you after tonight."
When she pierces An Ning's heart with the bi'sh0u stained with Xiao Yuqing's blood, she won't need to explain anymore, as he will understand everything.
Now that Xiao Yuqing has just proven his innocence, it seems like it's time to let down his guard.
Isn't there some warriors meeting tonight
If you draw your sword against someone, you will inevitably bleed.
Even if Xiao Yuqing was not injured, she would be able to find a way to get his blood.
There was just one small problem. The poison in her body would take effect at night, and she would be in excruciating pain, which would inevitably delay her work.
Yu Zhengzheng raised her head and looked at him. It was after he kissed her yesterday that she no longer felt the pain.
Just like a fox spirit would deliberately hook up with a scholar and absorb yang energy from his mouth in order to cultivate, she felt that there might be yang energy in his mouth as well.
But how could she kiss him
Just kiss him forcefully
Forget it, she was afraid that he would twist her head off in excitement.
How about discussing it with him
Yu Zhengzheng was nervous. She cautiously asked, "Can I absorb a breath of your Yang energy?"
Rong Shang was stunned, and raised his head in surprise: "What did you say?"
Yang Qi is the essence and blood of men. If she wants to absorb Yang Qi, she must... wait, he must have heard it wrong.
Yu Zhengzheng knew that her request was difficult to express. After all, she had just rejected his proposal of dual cultivation yesterday. But she had no choice. When the poison took effect, it was like hundreds of poisonous scorpions stinging her at the same time. The pain was so severe that she wished she died on the spot.
But if it was just a kiss, as a man, he wouldn't be at a disadvantage.
Besides, he has lived for more than 100,000 years and must have kissed many other women. The kiss she gave him yesterday was her first kiss, so he should be considered to have made a profit.
Thinking of this, she raised a finger sincerely: "Just one bite, I promise not to take advantage of you too much."
Rong Shang's body was a little stiff. He had lived for more than ten thousand years, but this was the first time he heard a woman dare to make such an impolite request to him.
He couldn't understand what she was trying to do. Even if she sucked him dry, she wouldn't get any benefit, let alone suck him dry.
Rong Shang raised his eyes and glanced at her: "If it's just to prove that you don't like him, there's no need to be so impulsive."
Yu Zhengzheng waved her hands quickly: "It has nothing to do with him. I am not impulsive. I have been thinking about this matter carefully for a whole day."
Rong Shang suddenly understood, no wonder she said that it was an accident just now.
It turned out that the person she was targeting was him, but she wanted to take the opportunity to do that to him, but failed.
His straightened back was slightly stiff. He had originally intended to refuse righteously, but when he said it, it somehow changed its meaning: "No, there are too many people outside."
Yu Zhengzheng glanced at the savages a few dozen meters away in the woods and was a little confused about why he was shy. It was just a kiss. Was he afraid of being seen
She thought for a moment, and pleaded in her voice: "Turn your back to them, they can't see you. Just this once, I'm really in a hurry..."
Now is a good opportunity to take advantage of Xiao Yuqing's laxity and press on. There is only one chance, and we can't let the poison ruin her good fortune.
Rong Shang was at a loss for words, her arrangements were clear and he couldn't seem to find any reason to refuse.
Her attitude was so sincere and he was not an unkind person.
Considering her kindness in pulling him to avoid the savages, he let her do it this time.
He pressed his thin lips into a straight line, his eyes still calm and indifferent, but his voice was trembling slightly, "This won't happen again."
Seeing that he agreed, Yu Zhengzheng nodded with a smile: "You are really a..." good person.
Before she finished her words, she saw him raise his hand to untie the jade belt around his waist, lift up his robe, revealing two white trouser legs: "Move yourself."
