Chapter 115 This guy is actually drooling on his leg...

If Yu Qingzhou might indeed have something to hide...

It must also be related to Shen Yingxue in front of him.

But that's why Yu Qingzhou can't say it.

He dared not voice the strange, vague feeling he had in his heart, nor did he dare let the other person notice it in the slightest.

She was afraid that her unfounded suspicions might create a rift between them.

But they forgot the saying, "Suspicion breeds ghosts."

“The moonlight is so beautiful tonight,” Shen Yingxue suddenly said.

Yu Qingzhou paused for a moment before recalling that night when she wanted to say something but couldn't.

At that time, the girl's still somewhat immature face overlapped with the person in front of her.

He thought to himself, "So my senior sister remembers everything."

But have I ever truly been honest with myself?

He also looked up at the sky, just like Shen Yingxue had done that night.

The moon wasn't obscured by clouds; on the contrary, it hung there brightly, large and full, radiating a faint crimson light, like...like...

The one-eyed giant monster.

Yu Qingzhou was startled by the fleeting thought in her mind.

I almost forgot, this is the Asura Domain.

Because of the pervasive poisonous miasma, thick fog rises into the air at night.

After being cleansed by the mist, the moonlight turned a pale red, and even the moon itself was shrouded in an eerie blood-red hue.

The moon in the Asura Realm is called the Blood Moon.

It is said that if a person is in the midst of this and gazes at the blood moon overhead for a long time, they will inevitably be drawn into it and even experience delirious hallucinations.

Even the native inhabitants of the Asura Domain were not spared.

Thinking of this, Yu Qingzhou hurriedly looked away.

But the senior sister seemed to have forgotten this rule, and still looked up at the red full moon hanging in the distance with great interest.

"Senior sister." In her anxiety, Yu Qingzhou couldn't help but tug at the sleeve of the woman beside her.

Shen Yingxue slowly withdrew her gaze, then casually turned to the young man and asked in a normal tone, "Junior Brother, what's wrong?"

Yu Qingzhou was almost at a loss for words, as he actually asked her what was wrong...

"That's a blood moon."

"Oh, so what if it's a blood moon?"

Shen Yingxue remained nonchalant: "Isn't this moonlight beautiful?"

Yu Qingzhou was completely speechless. It was unclear whether Shen Yingxue was drunk or had become delirious from gazing at the moon for too long.

He knew that if things got out of hand, there were probably very few people present, let alone himself, who could subdue Shen Yingxue. Besides, he couldn't bear to see his senior sister get hurt right under his nose.

So I had to soften my voice and coax her softly, "It's beautiful. It really is beautiful. But you can't look at something too much, otherwise... otherwise you won't be able to sleep."

"Can't you sleep...?"

Yu Qingzhou heard the woman murmur softly and thought he had already persuaded her.

But before he could really get happy, he heard his senior sister chuckle.

Then half of his body sank down, and a body exuding a faint fragrance leaned against his shoulder. His elbow was also pulled over and wrapped around the other's arm.

Now Yu Qingzhou dared not move at all, afraid of accidentally touching something he shouldn't.

"But I just want to see you, junior brother, looking sleepy but unable to sleep."

"..."

"It's mean, isn't it? But... what can I do? That's just how I feel. It doesn't matter to others, but junior brother, junior brother, you absolutely mustn't be afraid of me, you mustn't... stay away from me..."

Shen Yingxue murmured softly, tilted her head, and leaned on Yu Qingzhou's shoulder, quickly emitting even breathing sounds.

—And just like that, I fell asleep.

Fortunately, it was already late at night, and apart from the people on night watch, there were hardly any people wandering around the camp.

The other disciples who came with Yu Qingzhou seemed to have made a pact to avoid the two of them, leaving them a private space.

Otherwise, Yu Qingzhou would only be in an even more awkward situation.

Listening to the woman's even, deep breathing beside her, Yu Qingzhou suddenly realized that she might really be tired.

He had no idea what his senior sister had encountered in the Asura Domain during those days.

But it's unlikely to be an easy or pleasant experience.

But now, all of that is in the past.

Yu Qingzhou didn't dwell on Shen Yingxue's slightly unusual behavior earlier.

Instead, she gradually relaxed her body as she listened to the other person's breathing.

Then a feeling of weariness began to creep in.

He thought that perhaps he should also get some rest and sleep.

In a daze, he sensed a distant gaze, followed by the approaching presence of someone.

...But he was too sleepy and too tired.

Since the other party's approach did not seem to trigger any instinctive danger signals, he did not pay much attention to it.

However, Yu Qingzhou did not sleep soundly.

He dreamt that he was walking in a narrow, endless alley, with high walls on both sides, blocking out the sky and trapping him in the middle.

The further you go in, the more cramped it becomes.

When Yu Qingzhou finally remembered to turn back, she found that there was no way to turn around.

He was trapped in a narrow space.

And the gap seemed to be closing in, as if it were going to flatten him out and brick him into the wall.

When Yu Qingzhou woke up, the shoulder that her senior sister had been leaning on was now empty.

Instead, a heavy weight came from the other side, pressing not only on the arms but also on the knees.

Yu Qingzhou looked down and saw Li Xiao's fluffy gray-white head resting on her lap, the exposed half of his face showing a peaceful expression, as if he were immersed in some beautiful dream.

He would smack his lips every now and then.

With that face there, it was originally a pleasing scene to look at.

After Yu Qingzhou discovered the suspicious mark on Li Xiao's lips, he instantly shattered into pieces.

This guy was actually drooling on his leg...

When Li Xiao was suddenly jolted awake by a flick on the forehead, he was completely dazed.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch! That damn blind bastard—"

Just as the boy was about to unleash a torrent of curses and expose the bastard who had taken advantage of the situation, he turned around and saw Yu Qingzhou's calm face.

I don't know why I suddenly felt guilty.

"Why are you staring at me like that?"

Yu Qingzhou said calmly, "Because I am the one you said is blind."

Li Xiao was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then touched his reddened forehead and muttered awkwardly in a low voice, "It's okay to talk, but it's not good to get handsy so early in the morning."

"..."

Yu Qingzhou suddenly felt a strong urge to do as the other party wished and stomp hard on that incredibly beautiful face.

Perhaps sensing Yu Qingzhou's undisguised gaze, Li Xiao suddenly exclaimed in horror, "No, Yu Qingzhou, you're not thinking of attacking me, are you?!"

As he spoke, he quickly shifted his position to the side, arms crossed, and stared warily at the impassive young man: "Let me tell you, even a rabbit will bite when cornered, let alone me, who is never someone to be trifled with!"

Yu Qingzhou looked at the other party's bluffing and agitated appearance.

My mood has calmed down a bit.

He looked at the other man with amusement and then asked, "So, may I ask this formidable young master, what delicious food did you dream about that made you drool so much on someone else's lap?"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiao suddenly fell silent.

One eye darted nervously back and forth, finally settling on the damp fabric on Yu Qingzhou's lap, and a rather suspicious blush suddenly appeared on her face.

Seeing that Yu Qingzhou was still staring at him with a half-smile, he suddenly looked a little unhappy.

"This... what's it to you if it's my business?" the boy retorted stubbornly.

“It really has nothing to do with me.” Yu Qingzhou continued slowly and deliberately, “If your drool hadn’t gotten on my clothes, I really wouldn’t have minded so much.”

"It's just a little saliva, why are you being so petty? At worst..."

Li Xiao paused for a moment, originally wanting to say that he would just buy her another one, but then suddenly remembered that the clothes he was wearing were given to him by the other party.

After much thought, I was determined not to let the other party look down on me to my face.

A thought suddenly flashed through Li Xiao's mind, and he seemed to finally realize something. He then looked at Yu Qingzhou opposite him with understanding: "Hmph, I see. I didn't expect you to be so petty."

Yu Qingzhou was completely baffled by this strange, nonsensical statement.

Before I could figure it out, I heard Li Xiao continue, "So what if I didn't pay attention to my strength that night and made you bleed? But I licked your wound for you, I didn't actually bite you, why are you being so petty?"

These outrageous remarks nearly made Yu Qingzhou faint on the spot.

"What...what nonsense are you talking about?!" Yu Qingzhou said in a deep voice.

He meant for the other person to shut up. But unfortunately, Li Xiao wasn't the type to understand human speech.

"I'm not making this up. I'm just telling the truth. Yu Qingzhou, do you dare say that if I hadn't carried you back that night, you would have died out there? You were the one pointing a sword at me, and now you're the one making things difficult for me over such a trivial matter!"

Li Xiao seemed to have been holding it in for a long time, and finally poured out all her thoughts. The more she spoke, the more indignant and sorrowful she became.

Suddenly, mist welled up in those emerald eyes, and tears seemed about to fall.

He wasn't always this sentimental.

Perhaps because he had been badly beaten by Yu Qingzhou a few days ago, and had lost all his demonic power, becoming half a cripple, he had too much grievance in his heart to contain.

Especially after that Senior Sister Shen arrived, Yu Qingzhou wouldn't even spare her a glance. Why?!

If Yu Qingzhou hadn't recklessly barged into his territory, he would still be comfortably the boss there, instead of having to put up with this nonsense.

I can't take it anymore. Let whoever wants to take it, take it. I'm not going to put up with it anymore!

"At worst... at worst I'll let you bite me back right now!"

As soon as he uttered those words, a deathly silence fell over the surroundings.

Yesterday, the fellow disciple who jokingly asked Yu Qingzhou if she was afraid Shen Yingxue would be jealous had just woken up from a lazy sleep when she stumbled upon such a shocking scene. She was so stunned that she couldn't shut her mouth for a long time.

"This...this..."

The outgoing disciple was somewhat apprehensive; he had only said it casually, never expecting it to come true.

What to do? What to do? What to do?!

After returning, he should either ask to leave the mountain again, or he doesn't want to be hunted down by Senior Brother Yu.

Just as he was about to slip away, he turned his head and saw Shen Yingxue, who had appeared out of nowhere.

And so, the anxious heart finally found complete peace.

It seems there's no need to think about it too much. Given Senior Sister Shen's ruthlessness, they probably won't even live to see the day they return to the sect.

Yes, they...

The naturally outgoing junior brother silently lit a candle in his heart for himself and his senior brother Yu.

He prayed in his heart: Hang in there, Senior Brother Yu. Although you have only made a mistake that all men in the world would make, if it is not handled properly, it will cost the precious lives of all the fellow disciples present!
