Chapter 292 A Boat Full of Sweet Dreams Pressing Down on the Milky Way
On Lanyue Lake, brightly lit flower boats glide slowly.
On the stage, the water sleeves fluttered, and the soft, melodious singing in the Wu dialect was accompanied by string and wind instruments.
Wen Jin and Hua Li sat in the best seats with the best view.
Compared to Huali's relish, he half-closed his eyes and leaned back in the wide chair covered with brocade.
The crowd was noisy, making him slightly irritated. Wen Jin raised his long, slender fingers and casually rested them on his temples.
A few strands of hair fell across his forehead with his movements.
Despite the change in appearance, the coldness and aloofness did not disappear. On the contrary, because of his extremely handsome appearance, he exuded an even more deadly and seductive tension.
The young ladies from prominent families around them, their faces flushed with embarrassment, whispered among themselves as they gazed at the pale figure, their voices filled with suppressed excitement and awe.
Wen Jin opened his eyes and looked at Hua Li.
"Feeling unwell?"
Huali, her face growing increasingly red, nodded and shook her head.
It's not exactly painful. It's like being drunk; nowhere hurts.
I wouldn't say I'm sad, but I feel a little empty inside...
At first, I was able to watch the performance with great interest, but gradually... it got hotter and hotter, and I also got thirsty.
Huali took the tea Wen Jin handed her, drank a cup, but it did not relieve her symptoms at all.
"Hmm..." She had just shaken her head when icy fingers were already pressed against her burning forehead.
Karin sighed, "I think I might have...drunk alcohol today."
This is too much! It's been a whole day, and it's only just starting to get going.
"I want to drink plum juice. The one you bought for me this afternoon."
Wen Jin nodded, "Okay." He once again probed Hua Li's meridians, body, and even her spiritual center with his spiritual energy.
"Oh, I'm fine." Karin shook her head. "And I'm not exactly feeling unwell... it's just... I can't quite put my finger on it."
"I want to drink it now, go buy it, I'll wait for you here."
Wen Jin: "......"
How could he possibly leave Karin here alone?
Wen Jin summoned a servant, but there were too many tourists on the boat, and the servants weaved through the crowd without anyone noticing.
With the young girl beside him waiting expectantly, Wen Jin had no choice but to get up and walk towards the nearest servant.
Once the refrigerator was gone, the heat inside Huali's body, no longer suppressed, began to stir again.
She immediately took out two of the Life-Giving Pills and swallowed them.
Whether it works or not, it can't hurt to eat it; it's just for peace of mind.
Just then—
"Sister? It really is you!"
A pleasantly surprised, clear young voice rang in Huali's ears.
Huali turned around and was met with a familiar, handsome face. "Ze...Nan?"
When Ze Nan saw that Hua Li remembered his name, he immediately showed his two little tiger teeth, "It's me! What are you doing here alone? Hey, sister, your face is so red."
Karin shook her head, "It's nothing..."
Are you having trouble adjusting to the new environment? What did you eat this afternoon?
Unaccustomed to the new environment? She hadn't considered that.
Huali looked at the locals in front of her and thought for a moment. Wen Jin had bought her every kind of food he could name. There were too many to remember, so she summed it up in six words: "All kinds of local specialties."
Ze Nan thought for a moment, "We still need to be careful when eating water chestnuts and water bamboo shoots this season..."
Could it really be food poisoning?
In her desperation, Huali instinctively moved closer to Ze Nan, asking, "Huh? What should we do then?"
Seeing that she was moving a little slowly, Ze Nan reached out to help her. "But it's nothing serious, you..."
Before he could finish speaking—BOOM!
An indescribable pressure, like an iceberg, crashed down on Ze Nan!
He had only spoken half a sentence when his legs gave way and he collapsed to his knees.
"court death."
Wen Jin, who had returned, had eyes that were chilling enough to freeze a person to death.
They coveted his treasure again and again... They were courting death.
The Demon Lord disdained to fight with mortals, but his mere gaze was enough to make Ze Nan tremble with fear.
“Wen Jin,” Hua Li quickly grabbed his hand, “I’m fine, Ze Nan meant no harm.”
Ze Nan immediately grasped at this straw, crying out, "Sister, save me!"
One sentence, and it was like water dripping into a hot oil pan!
Wen Jin tilted his head slightly, strands of dark hair falling to the corners of his eyes, the small mole under his eye turning crimson. "Sister... Sister?"
He slowly raised his hand, but was stopped by Huali halfway through. "What's wrong with being called 'sister'? It's just a title. Let's go, let's go back first."
Wen Jin: "..."
"Oh."
After a brief silence, a very soft sneer escaped from Wen Jin's throat.
"OK."
The next second, Wen Jin stepped forward, put his arm around Hua Li, and took the plum juice that the servant had bought.
"Sumeru Domain, open!"
The space distorted silently, and the figures on the flower boat froze in place.
Only after the two disappeared did Katon's singing resume.
*
Deep within Lanyue Lake, vast expanses of lotus flowers bloom on the rippling blue surface of the lake.
A small, slender boat with a black awning floats quietly in the center.
A dim lantern hung from the bow of the boat, swaying gently in the night breeze.
The next second, Wen Jin and Hua Li appeared on the ship at the same time.
The sudden change in environment intensified the heat within Huali's body.
"Hmm...so many stars are spinning." Huali sat at the bow of the boat, took off her shoes and socks, and put her feet into the lake to cool off.
While Wen Jin unscrewed the plum juice and placed it in Hua Li's palm, he took the opportunity to silently inject pure, chilling spiritual energy into Hua Li's body.
The cool liquid slid down her throat, and the heat was indeed relieved slightly. Huali turned to look at Wenjin.
The starlight fell on his moon-white robe, but it couldn't illuminate the deep, melancholy sea in his eyes.
Karin: "Are you angry?"
Wen Jin: "......"
Huali cupped his face in her hands, "If there's a problem, you should explain it clearly in time. If you don't, how will the other person know what you really think?"
“Ze Nan means us no harm. He’s just an ordinary person. It’s normal for someone a few years younger than me to call him ‘sister.’” Hua Li’s eyes were serious. “That’s my opinion. What about yours?”
The girl's palms were burning hot, and when they touched his cold skin, they brought a strange sensation.
Wen Jin's Adam's apple bobbed, and as he looked into Hua Li's eyes, the sea of jealousy that had been churning because of "sister" was swept away by an even larger torrent.
When he spoke, every word seemed to be ground from the depths of his soul, heavy yet clear.
What if I said... I want you to stay with me forever?
"Aren't I right here with you?"
The obsessive look in Wen Jin's eyes instantly mirrored the look he had when he was a little boy.
Huali smiled, her eyes crinkling, "If I had to say... you're the one I raised."
Although it's only been a few months, the small account has indeed been switched to the large account.
Yes, that makes sense.
"So what?" Wen Jin's voice was even lower.
"So?" Karin thought hard. "So, we're family."
Wen Jin remained silent for a moment... then suddenly chuckled softly, "Family? Raised? Ha..."
Emotions surged in the Demon Lord's eyes, turning into an unfathomable darkness.
Among Lian Zhuo, Luo Chuan, Shen Yu, merfolk, and everyone else, she chose him alone, simply because she considered him family.
Wen Jin's gaze was like a tangible chain, and he couldn't help but tilt his head back...
After a few breaths, he lowered his head.
His handsome, brooding face slowly magnified in Huali's hazy vision.
"At the clothing store... you said we were siblings? In your heart, I'm just your family?"
Karin sensed a hint of danger and instinctively leaned back. "...Is something wrong?"
“Heh…” Wen Jin nodded, “Yes, very true.”
"Then... sister..."
Do you know... what I... want to do right now?
As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Jin didn't wait for a reply! Nor did he hesitate any longer!
One hand wrapped around Huali's waist with an irresistible domineering touch, while the other hand supported the back of her neck—
Under the gentle gaze of a sky full of stars, in a small boat shimmering with starlight—
Without a doubt, they kissed!
