Chapter 109

Feng Jue's heart skipped a beat. She stared at the pink petals she had plucked and murmured, "What?" She raised her head, looked at 03, and asked hesitantly, "What?"

Miss her...?

What do you think?

All kinds of questions piled up in her mind, but Feng Jue was afraid that she was just making wishful thinking. Just when she was about to ask, 03 buried her with flowers.

"Feng Jue, this is a gift from me to you, do you like it?"

The heavy gift and the rich floral fragrance rushed towards her, making Feng Jue's face darken. She thought to herself that she shouldn't have any extra expectations for this stinky wood. She snorted coldly, "I like it."

03 Her eyes lit up, and she thought, could this be the right time to strike a fatal blow? She mustered up her courage and spoke through the bouquet, "Feng Jue, what do you like—"

“Master!”

Beside them, Qiu Shuangshuang, Siyi and others flew over excitedly, landed beside them, and congratulated Feng Jue with joy.

——Me?

03 He paused and his eyes fell on Qiu Shuangshuang's face.

"Master, you're finally back!" Qiu Shuangshuang said happily, "We've all been worried about you! Especially Palace Master Feng!"

oh.

03Look at Feng Jue.

Feng Jue, who was surrounded by the bouquet, gave a cold "huh". 03 thought for a moment and asked sincerely, "Feng Jue, could you please put the gift away first?"

"Why?" Feng Jue asked indifferently.

03 quickly said, "If you hold it, I won't be able to see you."

“…”

There was a moment of silence around, and Siyi was the first to look away, looking at the sun in the sky: Today is such a good day, I should have stopped Miss Qiu just now, what a pity.

Feng Jue put the bouquet into his storage ring without a word. In front of Qiu Shuangshuang's two pairs of bean-sized eyes, his ears turned red and he said, "I have broken through to the Nascent Soul stage."

"Great!" 03 clapped his hands happily and said, "Feng Jue is truly the most powerful cultivator in the world!"

snort.

Feng Jue's expression brightened, his eyes fixed on 03, and he said, "It's been hard for you to be away from home for so long. Do you want to report to your uncle? I'll change my clothes and go with you."

03 He curled up the corners of his mouth and used his spiritual power to condense a silver-white flower tray for Feng Jue to see.

Feng Jue is really good, I am attracted by you.

Siyi smiled and said, "The Palace Master has achieved a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage today, so he should relax. I will take the others back to Mianfeng Terrace and prepare a delicious meal for you when you return."

"Yes." Feng Jue nodded, stretched out his hand and patted 03, saying

, "Don't you have anything for Siyi?"

03's eyes sparkled as he took out a lot of food from his storage ring and handed it to Siyi, asking her to prepare it. Siyi couldn't help laughing and said, "It can be seen that you have returned with a lot of food."

"Not really," 03 said modestly. "There's still room for improvement."

“…”

No future.

Feng Jue's mouth twitched, he took out a piece of clothing from the storage ring and put it on, then pulled 03 to the dormitory.

Ah, it’s Feng Jue’s hand.

03 lowered her head and looked at the wrist that Feng Jue was holding, and the smile in her eyes deepened. Feng Jue kept looking at her out of the corner of his eye and said with a smile: "Why are you so happy?"

That’s it, happy!

03 turned around and looked around. Seeing that no one was around, he quickly opened his palm and formally held out a red flower to Feng Jue. Feng Jue chuckled and raised his hand to pat 03's palm. The moment his fingertips touched 03's palm, she suddenly grabbed it.

"Feng Jue, can I hold your hand?" 03 asked solemnly.

Feng Jue asked doubtfully, "What's wrong with you? Didn't you hold hands whenever you wanted before?"

Because it’s different now.

03 Smiling and thinking: I am your pursuer now, I cannot treat you lightly.

Stupid thing, all you know is a silly smile. Feng Jue's smile didn't fade until he arrived at the academy.

In the dormitory, Zhu Shiyu had already met Jingxing and ran into them as they were leaving. Seeing them approach, Jingxing smiled and said, "First of all, congratulations to Huang'er on his advancement to the Nascent Soul stage." He took out a jade box from his storage ring and handed it to Feng Jue, saying, "This is a gift from my uncle-master."

Feng Jue accepted it generously and said, "Thank you, uncle-master."

Jing Xingdao said: "The cultivators who went to the Five Continents have all returned, and the Green Jade Beads have also been left in the various sects. This inspection did not find any cultivators who had been possessed."

"Not only that, the demonic cultivators who caused chaos earlier seem to have vanished from the face of the earth, and the Five Continents have been peaceful these days."

"Strange, what does this demon cultivator want to do?" Feng Jue said in surprise, "Did we alert them and make them take precautions? Uncle Master, how are things in the Northern Frontier?"

Jing Xing shook his head and said, "Lan Zhi has been investigating the Northern Frontier for a year and has not found any unusual formations. The origins of the demon cultivators are unknown, and the Five Continents must not let down their guard. Huang'er, your advancement to the Nascent Soul stage is already a great help, so you must not slack off in the future."

"And Ling Ren." Jing Xing took out a key to the Wen Dao Secret Realm and handed it to 03, saying, "You and the others traveled to the Five Continents for a long time before, and it was very hard. This key will allow you to practice in the Wen Dao Secret Realm for a year. Take it."

"oh,

Okay, thank you." 03 took it and asked, "Can I give it to someone else?"

Jing Xing's eyes fell on Feng Jue. He smiled and said, "No."

Oh, okay.

03 put the key into the storage ring with a bit of disappointment. On the side, the smile on Feng Jue's face faded a little. After talking to Jingxing about some matters related to cultivation, he took 03 and Jingxing away.

Mianfengtai.

Siyi called all the cultivators from Lanyang Palace, and Qiu Shuangshuang also brought the senior sisters and brothers from Qiu Shui Pavilion. A group of people gathered together to eat and drink to celebrate Feng Jue's breakthrough.

Wendao Academy is a good place for cultivation, but the competition is still fierce. With so many geniuses gathered here, everyone just wants to focus on cultivation and rarely relax. It is a rare opportunity to get together, drink and chat.

By the time they dispersed, it was already the next day.

After everyone left, Feng Jue drank alone. 03 said strangely, "Feng Jue, I feel like you're unhappy."

Feng Jue raised an eyebrow, glanced at 03, and said jokingly: "Not bad, you can actually sense my thoughts?"

"Then take another look at what I'm thinking about now?" She supported her chin with one hand and held the wine glass with the other. Her focused gaze fell on 03's face and met her clear eyes.

03 Staring at Feng Jue.

I thought: Feng Jue is so beautiful!

She looked at it for a long time, and Feng Jue poked her with his index finger impatiently, "Have you thought of it?"

03 shook his head slowly.

Humph, I knew it, you stupid thing.

Feng Jue scoffed, picked up the wine jug and stood up, saying lazily, "Never mind, I'll tell you. I've been thinking about you not reading to me for a long time. Isn't today a good day for me? I'll order you to read to me all night. Once I'm satisfied, I'll let you go to the secret realm to practice."

03 quickly stood up, caught up with her and said, "Okay, Feng Jue."

If Feng Jue likes it, it’s okay to read it for two nights!

There was a library in the side building of Mianfengtai, with a thick carpet on the floor. Feng Jue walked over, piled up a few cushions under the window and fell down. His eyes swept over the vermilion beams and he said "tsk" softly: 03 We finally got married, why are we so rarely together now?

03 I don't know what she's thinking. She glanced at Feng Jue from time to time, deep in thought. She took out the storybooks from her storage ring and stacked them up. They were all gifts she bought for Feng Jue in the human world.

"Feng Jue, which book do you want to read?" 03 asked with a smile, "Or should I read them to you one by one?"

Feng Jue casually pulled out a book and handed it to 03, whispering, "This one."

"good."

03After turning the pages of the book, a cold and gentle voice was heard soon, telling stories about human life.

Feng Jue leaned on the cushion and looked at 03 sideways.

03, who was reading the story to her, had bubbles on her head and acted out the emotions of the character in the story vividly. She was both cute and serious. When the sun set, there was a pile of storybooks at 03's hand, all of which she had read before. But 03 did not show any impatience. Feng Jue took out a book and she read it one by one, her voice still soft and serious.

The girl in the story made an appointment with her lover after dusk, when the west building was full of flowers and the wind swayed the shadows of people.

It was also dusk at Mianfeng Terrace, the afterglow slanting through the glazed windows, falling on the two of them. The woman leaning against the cushions looked languid, her fingers gripping the wine cup, her eyes fixed on her fingers, not even noticing 03's pause in a trance, her face slightly flushed, her lips curled in a smile.

In the forest outside the house, a bird fluttered and flew up. It might be Lingshi pretending to be a snake to dig out the bird's nest.

In the room, a faint fragrance floated in the air, and golden light moved between the bookshelves, shining on the incense burner. The jade beads on the burner refracted the light. Feng Jue tilted his head to avoid this untimely interruption, and then came back to his senses from his thoughts.

"Why aren't you reading anymore?" a drunken voice asked in a low, annoyed tone. Feng Jue chuckled softly, raised his hand and grabbed 03's collar, asking her to lie down. Perhaps it was the weakness from the alcohol or some other reason, but Feng Jue gently tugged, and the person who had always followed her instructions didn't move at all, remaining seated straight.

The setting sun outlined a golden edge on her calm profile. Her silver-white hair shone like flowing golden water, and her eyelashes were also golden. The refracted light was reflected in her eyes, and her cold eyes were like a lit fire, shining brightly.

03 ah 03.

For a moment, Feng Jue could hardly suppress his emotions and wanted to kiss the corner of 03's mouth. Feng Jue thought: If Sunset can kiss him, why can't I?

The words came out of his mouth, but: "Are you tired? Lie down."

The sunlight was too bright, the aroma of the wine was too clear, and the affection in his eyes and the tender tone of his voice all had excuses to hide. Feng Jue stared into 03's eyes. 03 lowered his eyes, and his gaze returned from Feng Jue's face to the pages of the book. He slowly turned the pages and looked at the next page.

Feng Jue came closer and asked slowly, "And then?"

"Then they kissed under the west building." 03 concluded, "Tenderly."

The room fell silent. Feng Jue blushed and avoided 03's gaze, then returned after a moment. He thought with dissatisfaction: 03 had just entered the Wen Dao Secret Realm, and it had been another year since we last met. Why not take a closer look now?

One year.

It would be better to kiss him just now.

Feng Jue snorted lightly, threw away the wine cup, and hooked the wine pot with his index finger. The wine in the jade pot flowed and fell on her lips.

The aroma of wine in the air grew stronger. 03's fingers flipped through the papers, his thoughts drifting between the aroma of wine and the fragrance of Feng Jue's body.

A general rule in love: Be decisive when you need to.

A general rule about love: What is more regrettable than having it is giving up on it right at the beginning.

She won't give up.

Also want to get.

“Crash.”

As the paper flipped, 03's gaze shifted from the melancholy words on the storybook back to Feng Jue's face. He smiled and asked, "Feng Jue, in a story, after enough foreshadowing, we'll reach the mournful part. What do you think?"

Feng Jue raised her hand and took a sip of wine to suppress the emotions in her heart. All she could hear was 03's voice, her nose was filled with the smell of 03, and her eyes were filled with the golden color flowing on 03's body. She was full of thoughts and just made a random "hmm" sound.

It turns out Feng Jue also agreed.

If that's the case, "I'll try." 03 said softly, closing the storybook with his white fingers and putting it aside.

"Phoenix Secret." 03 shouted.

Feng Jue put down the wine jug and raised his eyes lazily, "Hmm?"

A pair of warm hands cupped her cheeks. She smiled softly and leaned forward shyly.

The slanting afterglow was cut off by the silhouette, and the person leaning over was covered with the smell of snow, suppressing the floating subtle fragrance and the clear aroma of wine, like the breeze meeting the bright moon, the mountains meeting the white snow, a gentle, calm, and irresistible kiss.

The fingers that were hooked on the wine jug loosened uncontrollably.

"clatter."

The wine jug fell to the ground, and the clear liquid scattered, covering the overlapping shadows.
