Chapter 294 Drunk and unaware of the sky reflected in the water
Wen Jin did not wait for Hua Li's reply.
I didn't even expect a response from her.
The lessons learned from Shen Yu and Lian Zhuo made him realize what he would face after saying those words.
He had already anticipated the girl's speechlessness, her dazed state, and the confusion that had not yet fully settled in her eyes.
Even so, at least now, in her slightly dilated pupils, only his figure is clearly reflected.
Wen Jin's blood-stained thumb did not leave Hua Li's face. While continuously outputting icy spiritual power, his fingertip slowly caressed Hua Li's lower lip.
I lowered my head and gently placed another cool kiss on it.
Although Karin's consciousness had passed the peak of confusion, her body was still burning hot.
Wen Jin's cool lips pressed against hers, relieving her physical discomfort, but making her feel incredibly embarrassed!
However, the next second, Wen Jin seemed to know what she was thinking.
His gloomy gaze locked onto her, yet his eyes pierced through Karin's bewildered gaze, landing on an even more ethereal point. "I know your identity is a mystery. Your card, too, needs to be lit."
"You have things you need to do."
Wen Jin's voice remained deep and resonant, but the sharpness of his earlier pronouncements had faded, replaced by a more profound vow of protection.
"Therefore, you don't need to respond to me immediately."
"There's no need to think about anything."
He paused slightly, and the robes covering his body seemed to have suppressed all his impulsive and disheveled feelings under this quiet vow.
"Whether you look at me or not, whether you are conscious or lost in chaos, I... will always stand behind you."
Wen Jin's gaze toward Hua Li was like a polar glacier that never melts, but on a quiet, unknown morning, a corner of it quietly melted away.
"Standing in the shadows just a step away from you, I will cut off all the thorns and arrows coming from behind you."
"Until you—"
"Find the direction you truly want to look in."
The moment the words fell, the robes covering Wen Jin's body fell completely silent.
The awkwardness and excitement caused by her, in the face of this heavy vow of protection, transformed into kindling that was willingly burned, illuminating the small, lost place.
It was very strange; my heart, which had been filled with anxiety just a moment ago, calmed down almost instantly.
Huali leaned against Wenjin, as if Wenjin was constantly channeling spiritual energy into him, and the light of the wood-type card gently enveloped Wenjin.
A feeling of heat began to subtly creep within my body, followed by a feeling of exhaustion and weakness.
Wen Jin adjusted his position to make Hua Li more comfortable to snuggle against.
The small boat, covered with a black awning, swayed gently and softly with the ripples of the water under the influence of spiritual energy.
Karin's consciousness was floating, half-awake and half-asleep, but she just couldn't fall asleep.
Just then—
The clear and melodious tune, like the first wisp of mountain stream melting in early spring, flows into this tranquil lotus pond without warning.
The ethereal and melodious voice, carrying an unadorned sob, lingered softly within the small space of the two people embracing each other inside the awning boat.
Karin's hazy eyes slowly shifted her gaze.
Wen Jin's cold, hard jawline was right in front of him, his always weary and gloomy eyes were half-closed, and he was gently pursing a leaf between his lips.
Her eyes revealed a side of her that she had never noticed before.
There was no murderous ferocity, no destructive coldness, only a focused and gentle tranquility.
Starlight fell upon the Demon Lord's lowered brows and eyes, casting a hazy and gentle glow.
"Wen Jin?" Sleepiness crept in with the melodious flute music, and Hua Li's tone was tinged with surprise. "You...you can play this?"
The clear, melodious flute music continued, and Wen Jin hummed in response. The hand that had been steadily transmitting spiritual energy to her back moved up a little, and in sync with the flute music, slowly and rhythmically patted her back, again and again.
"Go to sleep."
Huali's gaze passed over Wen Jin and landed on the sky above.
The Milky Way poured down from above.
A magnificent yet serene light poured down from the heavens, gently engulfing the entire Jiangnan water town.
The light was reflected on the water's surface, then shattered and stretched by the ripples.
Finally, on this river that seemed to float on starlight and lotus blossoms.
The rosewood slowly drifted into slumber.
Drunk, I was unaware that the sky was reflected in the water; my boat was filled with dreams that pressed down on the Milky Way.
