In the eyes of the common people, monks are beings who can go to heaven and earth, are invulnerable to swords and guns, and are omnipotent. Even the very hair on their bodies emits an extraordinary light.
However, they do not know the difficulties and dangers hidden behind this light.
Practicing cultivation is risky, and eliminating evil spirits is doubly dangerous, so bleeding has long become a daily part of the lives of cultivators.
Therefore, Shen Qiqi did not take things like a small bloody cut on the tip of her tongue seriously.
However, Xie Beiming doesn't think so.
The moment the faint smell of blood wafted out from Shen Qiqi's mouth and nose, Master Xie, who could remain calm even under the pressure of a mountain, suddenly changed his expression. He quickly reached out and pinched Shen Qiqi's jaw, forcing her to open her mouth.
When Xie Beiming saw the small patch of crimson on Shen Qiqi's tongue, his expression became visibly chilled.
That serious and tense look made Shen Qiqi wonder if she had bitten her tongue off.
She hurriedly said: "I'm fine, don't be so nervous..."
"sorry."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Xie Beiming. His cold eyes no longer had the unfathomable depth that they had in the past.
At this moment, those eyes were filled with self-blame.
The kind of self-blame that makes you want to tie yourself up and beat yourself up.
As if he had committed some unforgivable mistake.
Shen Qiqi hadn't recovered from the shock he had just given her, her mind still in a state of half-daze and half-awakeness, which was not enough. Seeing his abnormal look as if he wanted to "die to atone for his sins", she blurted out, "Why are you saying sorry to me?"
“…”
——Because I shouldn’t have scared you just now.
——I am too greedy. I am not satisfied with my current happiness and even want to take back the past that belonged to us in the previous life.
——It won’t happen again.
Xie Beiming closed his eyes slightly, and when his long eyelashes swept across his lower eyelid, he raised them again.
When he opened his eyes again, his gaze had returned to its usual calm and clarity. He stared at the girl's face, which was slightly pale from shock, and explained, "Most people describe me as a kind and upright person, a model of righteousness. So, I wanted to see how you would react when you heard that I was a great demon."
His gaze shifted a few inches, landing on the thin scarlet bloodstain at the corner of Shen Qiqi's mouth. He blamed himself and said, "I didn't expect you to react so strongly... Were you scared by me?"
Shen Qiqi: “…”
I'm more than just scared by you!
You're frightening me to death!
Shen Qiqi shouted in her heart.
Fortunately, it was just a scare!
Shen Qiqi's frightened souls returned to their places, and she breathed a sigh of relief. She really wanted to say "it's okay" to Xie Beiming.
However, in order to prevent the same thing from happening again in the future, she decided to exaggerate the situation. So, she deliberately put on a stern face and said to Xie Beiming, "Well, you really scared me just now. I almost bit my tongue off... Don't scare me like this again in the future."
This is the truth.
She was so scared that she almost bit off her tongue.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, in her previous life, apart from running to Xie Beiming's cave to rob whenever she had time, it seemed that... she hadn't done anything particularly to let Xie Beiming down, right?
But she just didn't dare to face her previous life, especially in front of Xie Beiming.
It’s not that I’m afraid of letting Xie Beiming know how stupid I was.
Compared to this, she was more afraid that after Xie Beiming knew about her previous life, he would misunderstand that the reason she was nice to him in this life was because he gave up his life for her in the previous life.
She didn't want Xie Beiming to have such a misunderstanding.
Because misunderstandings like that hurt people.
Just now, when Xie Beiming whispered in her ear that he was actually a big devil in his previous life, she was indeed very frightened. Her first reaction was that Xie Beiming was just like her and had come back from the previous life, so she was so frightened that she accidentally bit her tongue.
Fortunately, Xie Beiming was just frightened.
After escaping the disaster, Shen Qiqi felt relieved that she had survived a great disaster.
Once you relax, you can't help but be a little pretentious.
She hissed and gasped, staring at Xie Beiming with resentment in her eyes.
"Come on, why are you joking with me? Just joke, but you made a joke that could scare people to death... Master Xie, I'm telling you, I almost bit my tongue off just now. This is all your fault."
"Well, my bad."
Xie Beiming felt the sense of relief in her tone, and when he heard her somewhat shameless... well, very cute, coquettish tone, the chill in his body melted away unconsciously, and his thin lips unconsciously curved into an upward arc.
He reached out and hugged Shen Qiqi into his arms, resting his chin on her shoulder, and said softly, "Well, you are right, it's all my fault. I apologize to you... Qiqi, can you give me a chance to apologize?"
Shen Qiqi: “…”
How is she supposed to respond?
It was obviously she who was the villain and complained first!
Don't be too pushy!
The main reason is that she can't get over it.
Shen Qiqi, whose conscience was awakened, quickly said: "No, no, no! Actually, I just..."
Before she could finish what she was saying, she was stopped by a deep kiss.
Xie Beiming's voice transmission sounded in his sea of consciousness.
"Qiqi, is this way of my apology okay?"
Shen Qiqi: “…”
