Chapter 630 What I Want to Do
Yun Qingqing followed the signal sent by the black jade pendant and flew through layers of clouds on his sword. Finally, he found Xiao Changheng's trace in a valley more than ten miles away.
The valley is surrounded by mountains. On the distant hillside, a silvery-white waterfall cascades down like the Milky Way. The water hits the rocks, making a crisp and distant sound. The splashing mist refracts colorful light under the sun. The water of the waterfall finally flows into the bottom of the valley, forming a clear pool of water.
The water in the pond was icy cold, and there was a faint chill on the surface of the water, as if even the air was frozen.
The rocks by the pond were covered with a thin layer of frost, and the surrounding vegetation looked particularly cold - tiny ice crystals condensed on the needles of the tall pine trees, the edges of the leaves of the low bushes were frosted white, and even the weeds by the pond exuded a biting chill.
The whole valley seemed to be shrouded in an invisible chill, silent and solemn. Only the sound of the waterfall echoed in the empty valley, making it seem particularly lonely.
Yun Qingqing slowly landed at the edge of the cold pond, her eyes fixed on the figure in the pond.
Xiao Changheng was half immersed in the cold pond, the water covering his chest. His wet white robe clung to his body, outlining his strong and broad arms.
His black hair stuck to his forehead wetly, and water droplets slid down his cheeks, causing tiny ripples in the calm water.
The man's usually cold and jade-like face now had an unnatural crimson hue, a suppressed heat revealed between his brows, his thin lips were tightly pursed, and his deep black eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, as if something was being suppressed underneath like magma on the seabed, and it seemed that it would erupt at any time.
Yun Qingqing watched as Xiao Changheng's breathing became increasingly rapid, his chest rising and falling slightly, his fingers tightly clasped around the rocks by the pond, his knuckles turning white from the force. Her heart also tightened as a result, and she no longer cared about the slight resentment in her heart. She jumped directly into the cold pond, landed right in front of him, and reached out to grab his wrist.
Xiao Changheng's body trembled violently, and he felt the scorching heat on his skin, as if a fire was burning inside him. Lightning and thunder flashed in his mind, and he completely lost control of his consciousness in an instant.
Before Yun Qingqing could take the next step, the man pulled her into his arms, held the back of her head tightly, pressed his hot body against her, and pressed his scorching lips down on her.
Yun Qingqing's eyes widened, her mind went blank in an instant, everything around her became blurry, and all she could hear was her own frantic thoughts and the man's heavy breathing.
There was a voice deep in her consciousness that was screaming wildly, telling her that she shouldn't do this. Although this was the man she had always dreamed of, he was taking advantage of her and was under the control of the love spell and had no control over himself.
She shouldn't do this, it's not fair to him.
However, she only struggled subconsciously, and the man hugged her tighter, pressing her against the boulder. A violent kiss swept over her, sweeping away her rationality.
Never mind, let it be.
She listened to her inner voice, closed her eyes, let his breath envelop her, panted lightly and reached out to rip open his belt.
Xiao Changheng felt a chill on his waist and struggled to regain consciousness. He suddenly realized what he was doing and stopped all his movements.
Yun Qingqing opened her eyes and met his panicked gaze. Her heart tightened and she was about to speak, but she saw him take a deep breath, let go of her in panic, stood up and backed away, staggering and almost falling into the water.
Yun Qingqing quickly grabbed his wrist and brought him back into her arms. She looked up at him and spoke softly, her voice moist and hoarse:
"Don't be afraid, I'm here to help you break the love spell."
Xiao Changheng's chest rose and fell violently, his scarlet eyes staring at her intently, suppressing the restlessness in his body, his voice was hoarse:
"Who asked you to come? It's none of your business, just go away!"
When Xiao Changheng was in the military camp before, he was drugged by the enemy as part of a beauty trap. He relied on his inner strength and willpower to hold on, and pierced the poisonous beauty's heart with a sword and sent her back to the enemy. Therefore, he was confident in his endurance.
But it was completely different when Yun Qingqing was around. He was afraid that he would not be able to resist.
So as soon as he realized that something was wrong with him, he wanted to escape from Yun Qingqing, for he was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and reveal his feelings in this state, and she would find out.
But the more he endured, the softer and more painful Yun Qingqing's heart became. She raised her hand and gently stroked his cheek, her eyes full of water, and spoke softly:
"You are my husband, how can I ignore you?"
She didn't want to use her love to hold him hostage, but the title of husband and wife was always useful.
Xiao Changheng's expression became colder and colder, he almost gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words:
"have a finger in the pie!"
Without waiting for Yun Qingqing to say anything, Xiao Changheng used all his strength to shake off her hand, took a deep breath, and stumbled towards the depths of the cold pond.
His reaction was like a basin of ice water colder than the water in a cold pond being poured down, instantly extinguishing Yun Qingqing's throbbing and clearing her mind again.
A deep sense of self-mockery rose in her heart.
This man is unwilling to touch her even at this point. If I really ignore his true wishes and use that method to forcibly break the love spell, there will be no way out in the future, right?
Yun Qingqing bit her lip, took a deep breath, her eyes returned to being cold again, and she raised her hand and threw a talisman at Xiao Changheng.
The talisman was stuck on Xiao Changheng's back. He was shocked and suddenly found himself unable to move. He couldn't keep his balance and was about to fall, but a pair of small hands caught him in time.
"You!" Xiao Changheng was anxious and angry, "What are you doing! Yun Qingqing, don't go too far! I don't need your pity!"
Yun Qingqing held his shoulders and made him face her. She put a hand on his chest, lowered her eyes and spoke softly:
"Not pity."
Xiao Changheng could hardly hear what she said, and he gasped and shouted angrily:
"Let me go, what are you going to do..."
Halfway through his words, he suddenly realized that the heat in his body had subsided a little. He was slightly stunned when he heard Yun Qingqing's voice with a slight gasp:
"Don't make a fuss, it will be fine soon."
While she was talking, Xiao Changheng felt a lot more relaxed.
He finally realized that the love spell that Yun Qingqing mentioned was not what he thought.
But as the strangeness in his body gradually faded away, he found that Yun Qingqing's face was getting redder and redder, her breathing was getting heavier, her originally clear eyes became hazy, and her brows were tightly furrowed.
Xiao Changheng suddenly realized that she was not removing the curse at all, but was clearly transferring the love curse to herself!
"Yun Qingqing!" He gritted his teeth, "What the hell are you doing?"
Yun Qingqing withdrew her hand from his heart, gently rubbed her forehead, took a deep breath, and suddenly gave him a faint smile.
"you……"
Xiao Changheng looked at the tenderness in her eyes, and was stunned for a moment. Then she slapped him on the chest, and he flew backwards uncontrollably and landed on the shore.
"This is not pity, and you don't have to appreciate it."
Yun Qingqing said as she raised her hand to form a barrier around him and spoke softly.
“I’m just doing what I want to do, that’s all.”
