Ye Xiaoman is a famously honest person in the cultivation world. She is loyal and reliable, dedicated to her work, and always shows concern for every handsome young man.
After her undercover ...
Chapter 790 The Elder's Bed
At this moment, a roar came from the sky: "He ran away, chase him!"
Ye Xiaoman was helpless and furious. She didn't know whether to say that Tuoba Yuling was destined to die at the hands of Xiao Chujing, or to point fingers at so many people for failing to catch the devil.
Shi Zaixing saw Ye Xiaoman standing in front of him with her head down, her face full of grievance and her eyes moist as if she was about to cry. He felt that his action of pushing her away just now was a bit ruthless, and he was a little soft-hearted, so he raised his sleeves to invite her and give her another chance to rely on him.
"I'm a little weak. Can you help me back to the elders' dormitory?"
Unexpectedly, Ye Xiaoman curled her lips and said, "Aren't you standing well?"
After saying that, he turned around and left, leaving Shi Yaxing there.
After Ye Xiaoman came to her senses, she panicked a little. She felt that Tuoba Yuling had not run far away and was hiding somewhere watching her. She wanted to find a safe place to calm down first.
Shi Zaixing was left there, watching Ye Xiaoman's back as she walked away in surprise.
What on earth had he said to offend her?
Because of Ye Xiaoman's moody attitude, Shi Zaixing kept having these questions in his mind for the rest of the day, until the evening when Ye Xiaoman came to the dormitory to find him again.
"Come in." Shi Zaixing said. There was a pile of divination grass and tortoise shells on the table in front of him. At the request of the sect leaders, he helped calculate Tuoba Yuling's hiding place. The answer had already been sent out, and he was feeling exhausted.
The next moment, the door was gently kicked open by a foot.
Shi Zaixing looked up and saw Ye Xiaoman, who had disappeared for half a day, sitting in a wheelchair, looking at him with a smile.
She lightly pressed the mechanism on the handle, and the wheelchair flew up, crossed the threshold, landed inside the house, and drove towards Shi Zaixing.
Shi Zaixing discovered that her wheelchair was the one he lost on the battlefield during the day. He then asked the disciples of Tianjimen to look for it, but they couldn't find it. Unexpectedly, it was taken away by Ye Xiaoman.
Ye Xiaoman drove the wheelchair with high spirits, and only stopped when the wheel turned to Shi Zaixing's side. She asked him for credit, "Elder Tianyao, I found your magic weapon."
"It was buried under the rubble. I found it by digging through thick leaves."
Shi Zai Xing thanked her.
Ye Xiaoman stood up from the wheelchair, raised her hand wearing five gold bracelets, and touched the heavy gem necklace around her neck.
There is no way. When facing a materialistic man, sometimes you also need to shake your wallet to make him hear it.
Shi Zaixing also discovered that Ye Xiaoman had changed into high-grade robes and brought many gorgeous magic weapons. She circled in front of him a few times, stopped in front of the Boguge in the room, and picked up the treasures on it to play with.
The two chatted for a while about Tuoba Yuling's whereabouts, and soon Ye Xiaoman diverted her attention, strolled to the corner, and touched the human-height vase in the room.
After some insignificant conversations, it was finally dark and the glass lamps outside were lit one after another.
The disciple came in and asked Shi Zaixing if he wanted to have a meal.
Shi Zai Xing only took the Bigu Pill and a cup of blood for each meal. In order to avoid spreading bad rumors, he never drank blood in front of people outside the Tianji Sect, so he said, "I won't eat tonight."
After the disciple left, Shi Zaixing looked at Ye Xiaoman who was twisting and turning in front of the big mirror. She clearly had nothing important to talk to him about, but she refused to leave.
Shi Zaixing was particularly exhausted today and was already very weak, so he ordered them to leave.
"Junior Brother Ye, if you have nothing else to do, please go back first."
After hearing this, Ye Xiaoman felt angry and irritated.
It's already evening, why don't you ask her to sleep together?
Haven't you already demonstrated your financial strength to him? Why are you still playing hard to get, you pretentious guy? Hurry up and get into the honey trap!
Ye Xiaoman opened the window and looked at the sea of lights outside. The glass lamps looked like glowing jellyfish floating in the black ocean, which was particularly dreamy.
She heard the muffled rumble of thunder behind the clouds in the sky, "Elder, it's going to rain."
She said, trying to make her voice sound like crying.
"Actually, I was very scared. I was always worried that Tuoba Yuling would attack me again, so I didn't dare go back."
"The place where I live is very remote. My senior sisters and brothers plus I can't defeat the big devil."
Shi Zaixing kindly told Ye Xiaoman, "I have already calculated the hiding place of Xuanyou Demon Ancestor. He is not inside the Tianji Sect. The ancestors have gone to surround and suppress him. You don't have to be afraid."
At the same time, he was a little disappointed. Ye Xiaoman was too cowardly and probably could not shoulder the responsibility of saving the world.
"Then I feel relieved."
Ye Xiaoman walked back to Shi Zaixing, and under his gaze, she picked up a clean cup on the table and poured herself a glass of water.
After she finished drinking the water, Shi Zaixing thought she should leave, but she walked around his chair, went behind the bead curtain, and stopped in front of his bed.
"What's your quilt made of? Oh my god, it shimmers."
Shi Zaixing looked through the beaded curtain and saw Ye Xiaoman bending over and touching his bed.
Her voice rose in surprise, as if she had discovered some treasure. He couldn't help but be curious. In fact, his heart was as calm as an ancient well, and he was rarely curious about anything.
When he came to his senses, his tired body had traveled a long distance and was standing beside her, attracted by her to look at the quilt.
Just to enhance the viewing experience, the embroidery pattern on the quilt cover is inlaid with some rice-sized luminous pearls.
Ye Xiaoman said naturally, "The fabric feels very comfortable. I wonder what it feels like to sleep on it?"
After she finished speaking, she fell onto the bed in front of him.
When she fell, her hands were hooked around Shi Zaixing's belt, and Shi Zaixing was pulled down beside her.
Shi Zaixing didn't know why, but in the end, the two of them ended up lying side by side on the bed and chatting.
Ye Xiaoman twirled the gold bracelet on her arm boredly, "Elder Tianyao, where are you from?"
Shi Zaixing looked at the ceiling of the tent, where a picture of the sky was embroidered with glowing spiritual thread, and the stars in the sky were twinkling in the lights.
He said, “I don’t know.”
Ye Xiaoman stopped and thought, no way, no way, even talking about the trauma of the original family and opening up the heart is not possible.
"How could you not know?"
Shi Zai Xing said, "Shortly after I was born, the previous sect leader calculated that I had a connection with the Tianji Sect, so he found my parents and adopted me."
"I grew up in Kunlun Heavenly Palace. The disciples around me, like me, were born unaware of their parents' existence. If the people around us didn't tell us, we wouldn't know we were different from others."
"By the time I traveled around the world and learned the truth, the old master had already passed away."
Ye Xiaoman stopped fiddling with her bracelet, and Shi Zaixing turned to look at her. He had thought she would say some insincere words of comfort like everyone else, but she didn't expect her eyes to widen as she said disapprovingly:
"Aren't you all good at calculating? Can't you find your relatives by calculating for yourself?"
Shi Zai Xing smiled, "Those who are good at fortune-telling don't use divination. We calculate our own affairs, so it can't be wrong."
"Stupid," Ye Xiaoman said, "You can just switch and calculate."
She finished, feeling proud of her cleverness and blowing her bangs.
Obsessed with narcissism, he has no time to mourn the fate of others.
