Chapter 633: Conscience

When Xiao Changheng regained consciousness, he found himself lying on a soft bed.

The candlelight flickered through the red gauze curtain, as if it was already late at night.

He was dazed for a moment, then suddenly sat up, pulled open the gauze curtain and wanted to get out of bed, but he was stunned at first.

Just now, he subconsciously thought that this should be a room in the Secret Beast Valley Palace. When he lifted the gauze curtain, he found that this was actually a cave.

The cave is not big, and the stalactites hanging upside down on the ceiling reflect a soft halo, making the entire space warm and quiet.

A light red gauze curtain hung around the bed, swaying gently with the weak air flow in the cave. In a corner of the cave stood a rustic wooden table with a pair of red candles burning on it. The flickering candlelight illuminated the exquisite jade pot and two green jade cups beside it.

There is a faint aroma of wine in the air, intertwined with the fresh scent of grass and trees in the cave, making people feel peaceful.

There was the sound of a waterfall coming from afar, the sound of gurgling water was like a distant piece of music.

Xiao Changheng's gaze fell on the entrance of the cave. He looked at the slender figure standing with her back to him and her hands behind her back. He was speechless for a moment, feeling confused and dazed.

The figure and temperament from behind were so familiar to him, yet a little strange. She was no longer wearing the snow-white dress she usually wore, but a red gauze skirt that danced with the breeze, adding a touch of mystery and elegance in the night and candlelight.

Xiao Changheng suddenly lowered his head and finally realized that his clothes had also been changed into a red robe.

A strange emotion surged in his heart, and he slowly stood up and walked towards the cave entrance.

When they were only three steps away, Yun Qingqing slowly turned around to look at him, pursed her lips, and the emotions surging in her black jade eyes made his heart beat faster.

"...You're awake." Yun Qingqing said softly.

Xiao Changheng looked at her quietly for a moment, lowered his eyes slightly to hide the expression in his eyes, his jaw taut and he said nothing.

The memory of her casting a sleeping spell on him was still fresh in his mind. He felt a tightness in his stomach and didn't want to talk to her.

But what she had said before made it difficult for him to ignore, and he couldn't help but want to find out the truth.

After hesitating, Yun Qingqing suddenly raised her hand and gently stroked his face.

"Husband...are you still angry with me?"

Xiao Changheng's breathing stagnated. He couldn't believe that she was coaxing him so softly. He suddenly frowned, took a step back to avoid her hand, and looked at her seriously.

"If this is what you call giving me an explanation, then there's no need for that."

There was a deep sense of grievance suppressed in Xiao Changheng's eyes, but his expression had returned to its usual coldness, and his tone was calm and stiff.

Yun Qingqing was not surprised by his reaction. She pursed her lips slightly, took a step forward and took his hand.

Xiao Changheng's fingertips trembled slightly, and he was about to withdraw his hand, but she held it tightly.

"I like you." The girl raised her eyes and looked at him with her black jade eyes. Her slightly curved eyebrows reflected the candlelight, with a bit of warmth.

It was as if thunder had exploded in Xiao Changheng's mind. He didn't expect that she would say such words so bluntly. He couldn't help feeling sad in his heart, and his tone became even colder.

"Yun Qingqing, do you think everyone else is a fool?" He grabbed her wrist with his backhand and pulled her away. There was a murmur of storm in his eyes. Although his tone was calm, there was something pressing down deep, ready to explode at any moment.

"I don't need your so-called compensation." He took a deep breath, his tone becoming calmer. "Since the curse has been lifted, let's go back. There's no need to mention this matter anymore."

Xiao Changheng shook off Yun Qingqing's hand, brushed past her and walked out.

Yun Qingqing held him back, not angry at his angry words:

"You still don't believe it?"

Xiao Changheng paused, and before he could ask, he saw Yun Qingqing pinching her fingers and stomping her feet lightly.

A formation suddenly expanded from under her feet, surrounding the two of them in the center.

Xiao Changheng was stunned for a moment, his eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at Yun Qingqing in disbelief.

The girl's eyes seemed to be gleaming with stars. She looked at him seriously and spoke word by word:

"I use this inquiry as evidence to say that I, Yun Qingqing, love Xiao Changheng. If there is even a hint of falsehood, heaven and earth will not tolerate it."
