Lin Qiye and Jia Lan walked out of Yaochi side by side.
The cold wind and snow brushed against Galan's cheeks, but could not extinguish the blush. She recalled the words that Tianzun had just said, and had an indescribable feeling in her heart.
She secretly glanced at Lin Qiye beside her. The latter seemed like nothing had happened. Sometimes his brows were relaxed, and sometimes he lowered his head in deep thought. He was probably thinking about some profound and complicated things like cause and effect and time.
The less Lin Qiye cared, the more she struggled. She simply made up her mind and mustered up the courage to speak: "That..."
"What's wrong?"
Lin Qiye came back to his senses, turned to look at her, his eyes revealing concern.
The moment his eyes met Lin Qiye's, Jia Lan's heart skipped a beat, and the words on his lips were hard to utter for a moment... The blush on his face became even deeper.
Seeing the inexplicable redness on Galan's cheeks, Lin Qiye frowned slightly. He glanced at the sky full of wind and snow, took off his green robe and put it on Galan.
Feeling the warmth in Lin Qiye's palm, Galan's heart beat faster and faster.
"No...I'm not cold!"
"Not cold? If you're not cold, why is your face so red?"
Galan: o(╥﹏╥)o
Jia Lan took a deep breath: "Just now Tianzun said...he said that we are very...a good match?"
"Yes, he said so." Lin Qiye blinked, "Why, don't you think so?"
After hearing the second half of the sentence, Jia Lan's face turned red again. She never expected that Lin Qiye would admit it so directly. This sentence hit her directly in the face, making her at a loss.
"No... he said they were a good match... I... I didn't say I didn't think so, but it's just... Ouch!"
Jia Lan was angry and embarrassed, so he kicked the snow with one foot, and all the snow within a radius of hundreds of meters was instantly shaken away. Dense cracks were all over the mountaintop, and the rolling snowflakes became more and more, directly turning into a roaring avalanche! .
Galan just stood there in a daze.
Lin Qiye stared at this scene in a daze, his mouth twitching for a moment, and he still spoke:
"Well... Actually, if you have any opinions... you can just ask..."
"I didn't say I had an opinion!"
Jialan was almost crying because of his kick, and he emphasized loudly with gritted teeth.
“Yes, yes, yes…” Seeing that Galan was anxious, Lin Qiye nodded in response.
Jia Lan pursed his lips, his chest heaving violently, and his red face tilted slightly to one side.
After a long time, he spoke softly:
"The Heavenly Master said that we are a good match. Although... I am a little happy, you are a great hero who saved the entire world. Even the Heavenly Master is on an equal footing with you, and I am just a little maid who was expelled from Yaochi...
Even if I take the immortal pill, I am still myself. I don’t understand much about human things. I have only heard about love in the stories that are passed down. I don’t know how to love at all...Alas, anyway, I don’t know how the Heavenly Venerable arranged the couples so randomly!"
Galan's voice became softer and softer, and finally he simply buried his head in the collar of his robe, his red face steaming faintly in the wind and snow.
Lin Qiye slowly stopped.
He looked at Galan, whose cheeks were red, and said seriously:
"Back when I was still an unknown reserve captain, you were the one who kept your strength hidden and played with us half-grown teenagers. If it weren't for you, I would have died under the sword of Ama Kusanagi... Now that I have reached this level, how could I give up on you?"
Although Jia Lan didn't quite understand what was said, she could feel the seriousness and undisguised love in Lin Qiye's eyes.
"And guess what?" Lin Qiye smiled, "They've always called me a hopeless straight man, a stone in a toilet pit who doesn't understand romance, and an old bachelor who deserves to die alone... I don't know how to love and be loved, and you don't know either... Two people who know nothing get together, what else can we do if not a good match?
Since no one understands, we won’t be bound by worldly views and can express our love in our own way... Isn’t this also a kind of romance?
A romance that belongs only to us.”
Galan stood there in a daze.
She stared at Lin Qiye in a daze for a long time, then suddenly came to her senses. She seemed to react belatedly that Lin Qiye's words seemed, seemed... to be a naked confession?
It shouldn't be like this... She just wanted to ask Lin Qiye what he thought about Tianzun's words at first, how could it turn out like this so quickly? !
Can a straight ball be this straight?!
"I... I think it's too early to say this now." Jia Lan's cheeks flushed red. She mustered up her courage and glared at Lin Qiye. "We've only known each other for a few days! You're trying to trick me with sweet words... Who knows if you want to trick me into giving you what I want, and then force me to wear a little bit of clothes to dance?"
Hearing this, Lin Qiye was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry... It seemed that the psychological trauma left by Chen Baopi on her was still very deep.
But Lin Qiye is not in a hurry. There is still a lot of time left for them. Even if this era ends, there are still two thousand years later.
At this moment, Lin Qiye seemed to have noticed something, his eyes narrowed, and he looked up at the sky.
They saw a pink cloud rapidly approaching them. A shrill buzzing sound resounded through the mountains. Ferocious and terrifying Mi-Gos were rolling in the air like waves.
"They are coming again..." Galan's face suddenly became solemn.
Lin Qiye frowned, and with a light wave of his fingertips, the sword Ama-Kushu flew automatically into the sky with a whistling sound, rushing towards the pink wave.
Ever since Lin Qiye rescued Galan for the first time, he went to Yao Chi, returned to Chang'an, and came back to Yao Chi again... He had been besieged by Migo three or four times along the way, and the time of Migo's arrival was very precise, two days apart.
But the strange thing is that the number of Mi-Gos has not increased in these times, but decreased instead. There are less than a hundred at a time. Even if Lin Qiye does not have the [Established Fruit] to connect them together, he can easily kill them with the Ame-no-Murasakumo sword.
This seems to be good news, but Lin Qiye doesn't think so.
Migo's arrival, behind it is the [Key to the Door]!
He knew very well that such a small number of Migos could not snatch the Immortality Pill from him, so why did he continue to send these small numbers of Migos to die?
Lin Qiye thought about it all the way and could only think of one possibility... His goal was no longer to take back the Immortality Pill, but to use his location of the Immortality Pill to send Migo to observe himself and Galan.
His own cause and effect has been hidden, and the [Key to the Gate] cannot observe his actions through the long river of time. It can only use Migo to conduct the simplest and most direct naked eye observation. It can locate his position every two days and even know what he is doing...
In other words, Migo's mission is no longer to snatch the immortal pill, but to be a group of "paparazzi" who travel through time to regularly track Lin Qiye and the immortal pill.
