The eldest son of the Lin'an Xie family, a good boy in the eyes of all parents, a role model for the children of noble families to learn from, actually threatened to bite a girl's ear...
Shen Qiqi was stunned, her eyes wide open, her face full of disbelief. She covered her ears and shouted, "Hey, hey, wake up! Wake up! You're Xie Beiming! How could you do this! Your father would be so mad if he knew..."
The rest of the words were blocked in his mouth by a kiss.
Fortunately, they are monks and can do things that ordinary people cannot do.
Just like now, Xie Beiming cast a barrier that perfectly blocked the prying eyes from all directions. Even if pedestrians passed by them, they would not notice their existence.
But this is for ordinary people.
When Shen Qiqi thought about Xie Beiming kissing her in the street, even though she knew no one else could see, she still felt ashamed and nervous. Her eyes rolled around, afraid that someone would suddenly jump out from a corner, point at her and yell, "Shame on you!"
Fortunately, Xie Beiming only tasted it briefly. After kissing her for a moment as punishment, he let her go and asked with a slightly heavy breath, "Are you going to continue pretending you don't know?"
When he said this, Master Xie's eyes narrowed dangerously, and his gaze fell on the delicate lips of the person in his arms, as if to say, "If you continue to pretend that you don't know, then let's continue."
How dare Shen Qiqi!
Master Xie in this life is too crazy. He will execute people on the spot if they say something he doesn't agree with. Isn't it okay if she can't afford to offend him?
Shen Qiqi thought of the kiss just now, and the heat on her face that had not yet subsided began to burn again. She met Xie Beiming's dangerous gaze and didn't dare to even think of pretending to be stupid.
She knew why Xie Beiming was angry.
Because of the oath she had just made to the people.
Once the oath is made, it would be good if the children can be rescued safely. If not, the oath will become the target of the inner demon, and once it gets the chance, it will use the oath to attack her.
The most taboo thing for people who practice cultivation is to make an oath, as it is equivalent to actively putting one's handle into the hands of the inner demon.
Xie Beiming was angry because of this.
Shen Qiqi lowered her head and began to reflect on herself obediently.
"I know I shouldn't have been so impulsive, shouldn't have made such a vow... But you just saw it. Auntie Wonton was so heartbroken because her two children were kidnapped by an evil spirit that she took her own life. In that situation, if I didn't reassure the people, not only would Auntie Wonton not be able to make it, but there might even be a second or third Wonton Auntie... Could you bear to see such a tragedy happen?"
Shen Qiqi started to explain the reason for her vow, and then without giving Xie Beiming a chance to speak, she hurriedly added:
"Besides, I dared to swear this oath because I was confident in my heart. I felt that I could definitely save those children... Really, don't disbelieve me, my intuition has always been accurate."
Xie Beiming looked at her coldly, and laughed in his heart, thinking that if your intuition was really so accurate, how could you not have sensed a poisonous snake lying next to your pillow in your previous life?
...and how could you not feel that I have always been behind you, waiting for you to turn around and see me.
Just as I was thinking about it, my sleeves suddenly sank down.
Xie Beiming withdrew his thoughts and his eyes fell on Shen Qiqi's fingers holding his sleeves.
Although his face was still as cold as an iceberg, his eyes softened.
Seeing that he was finally willing to respond, Shen Qiqi's confidence increased. She climbed up the pole, tugged at Mr. Xie's sleeve, and whispered, "So, please don't be angry, okay?"
After she finished speaking, she raised her little face and looked at Xie Beiming eagerly.
In the sunlight, the girl's skin is fair and translucent, and her small face, which is the size of a palm, has delicate features without any flaws.
Especially the girl’s pair of bright black eyes, which were clear, bright, and clean like a newborn baby, without a trace of impurities.
At this moment, those eyes are staring at you eagerly, innocent and well-behaved, but also with a distressing uneasiness.
Xie Beiming couldn't hold on any longer, so he sighed, raised a finger and said, "This is just this once, it won't happen again."
"Yeah, it won't happen again! I swear..." Shen Qiqi was about to say "I swear", but when she met Xie Beiming's cold eyes, she reacted with a start and quickly changed her words, "There won't be a next time! Don't worry! Even if there is, I will discuss it with you before making a decision!"
That was a close call, I almost said something rude again!
Shen Qiqi was afraid that Xie Beiming would punish her again for this, so she quickly changed the subject and said through gritted teeth, "That Fifth Elder is so hateful. He actually set me up in such a big pit behind my back... If Yuzhou City wasn't facing constant external threats, I would have dealt with him immediately."
How could Xie Beiming not see that she was deliberately changing the subject? He just didn't expose her and continued the conversation as she wished.
"I'll handle the Fifth Elder's affairs. You don't have to worry about it."
"Ah? But..."
"No buts."
"...Okay. But can you handle it after I rescue the children?"
Shen Qiqi had a premonition that the Fifth Elder's life was coming to an end.
Such a villain should have died long ago.
But before she died, Shen Qiqi still wanted to give him a "big gift". After all, for this "big gift", she had made Xie Beiming angry, and she was unwilling not to give it away.
Xie Beiming frowned, seeming very reluctant to wait any longer, but when he met Shen Qiqi's eyes that secretly wanted to see a good show, he couldn't bear to disappoint her, so he nodded reluctantly and said, "Okay."
