Chapter 48 Pei Wan
The spring light of silver candles warms the palace walls, and the glow of fireflies at night makes the time beautiful.
Li Yuanying looked at Qilang beside her. In the candlelight, his high nose bridge, lively eyes, and the pink on his cheeks were all particularly touching.
If she wasn't in this body, would the two of them have a different future?
Thinking of this, Li Yuanying felt a little discouraged. If it weren't for this body, he and she would not have this marriage.
Perhaps, they are fighting to the death somewhere now.
She is a human and he is a monster, and there is no way they will have a good ending.
"What's wrong?" Qilang asked when he saw her stop and look a little sad.
Li Yuanying shook her head. "Nothing. I just remembered some unpleasant things. I'm not usually this indecisive. I don't know why, but I've been feeling a bit melancholic lately."
Qilang thought she might be worried about his health, so he comforted her: "I'm here, everything will be fine."
Li Yuanying felt warm at the sight of these words. No one had ever said such words to her since she lost her mother. She had always been trying to protect herself in difficult situations, learning to be servile and deceitful. It had been a long time since she had felt the so-called warmth.
Senior brother had been very good to her, but after all, they both had their own family missions, and senior brother could not be by her side all the time. He himself had many difficulties to face.
After the seal is released, she will only have seven days to live. The man in front of her doesn't know this, and she doesn't want to tell him.
She looked at the Frost Ember in her hand, then at Qilang. Fearing she would lose her chance later, she said to him, "Qilang, this sword is a treasured heirloom from the Gu family. It can break all fire spells. The Gu family elders said my physique complements it perfectly, so they gave it to me. A trace of my soul remains here, allowing us to become one with the sword."
"Why are you saying this to me?"
"I'm afraid that you underestimate this weapon. If I'm gone, remember to take it away. It's a memory I leave for you. Maybe it will be useful someday." Li Yuanying said this without any emotion. She thought she should say hello to Qilang in advance.
However, what she didn't expect was that Qilang's reaction was quite strong.
"Li Yuanying, do you remember what you promised me?" Qilang grabbed her hand and pulled Li Yuanying in front of him.
This was the first time he called his full name.
His breath swept across Li Yuanying's face, and her red and tender lips were close at hand.
Li Yuanying was stunned by these sudden questions. She didn't know what Qilang was talking about for a moment.
"I..." She stammered and couldn't answer.
"You're all liars, after all." Qilang said bitterly, "Didn't you promise me you wouldn't die?"
Li Yuanying remembered that she had indeed said this when she asked Qilang to ring the bell again to find the center of the formation.
But that was just to coax him to find the center of the formation quickly.
"What's the result? You almost died! Now, what are you telling me? If you were gone, I told you I would find a way. Why are you still saying this?" Qilang's face turned red, and he became more and more agitated.
"If, if I knew you would become like that, I shouldn't have agreed to ring the bell with you..."
Li Yuanying was stunned. She stared at the man in front of her. His chest rose and fell slightly. It seemed that these words were from the truth, not lies.
It turned out that he ignored her before because he was angry about this matter.
Li Yuanying never makes promises easily, because her actions are only related to her own goals. What she says may seem like lies to others, but to her, they are just tools to achieve her goals. She is really just coaxing him.
But he took it seriously.
"Qillang... I..." She suddenly felt that she should no longer treat the man in front of her with her previous code of conduct, but she couldn't say it now. She couldn't tell her that she would die in seven days, and even the gods could not save her.
Even if he is the strongest demon king, even if he has a thousand powers, there is nothing he can do.
"You are not allowed to die." Qi Lang held Li Yuanying's face and said, "You cannot die without my permission."
Li Yuanying thought Qilang was both cute and interesting. Life and death were not something you could just agree on or disagree with.
He had come here to kill her, but now he was saying these words to her.
"Only when I die can the Yuanming realm be broken. Isn't this what your people hope for?" Li Yuanying asked.
Qilang was stunned. It turned out that she knew everything.
"If the Jiuzhou Seal is sealed again, that's not what you want to see, right? If I die, won't it all be over?" Seeing that he didn't answer, Li Yuanying continued to ask.
"I won't let you form the Great Seal of Kyushu. I can do this not only if you die." Qilang whispered.
"Then what is your plan?" Li Yuanying blinked and tilted her head to look at Qilang.
"How could I possibly tell you such a thing!" Qilang was a little angry and embarrassed.
Li Yuanying found it even more amusing: "Let me guess, you originally planned to kill me so that you could break through the Yuanming realm. Now, you want to use the Polar Frost Lotus to break through the realm, right? The Polar Frost Lotus is originally the source of the barrier, so it can both build and break it."
"No, I don't know what you are talking about." Qilang sat a little further away from Li Yuanying.
Seeing him retreat, Li Yuanying found it amusing. She threw herself into Qilang's arms and smiled mischievously, "Look, I guessed it right!"
She lay comfortably in his arms, then reached out and touched his nose, then slid her hand down to his face, where her skin was smooth, soft, warm and youthful.
Qi Lang was tickled by her and grabbed Li Yuanying's hand. He looked at her tenderly and said after a long while, "I have no hatred towards you or your people. I just want to take back what belongs to my mother."
Li Yuanying opened her mouth slightly. She was a little surprised at what the man said. Judging from his expression, he was not lying.
"But... maybe your people don't think so. Have you ever thought about it?"
"I don't care what they think. I just want to get what I want, and then I will take you away." Qilang said firmly.
No wonder he didn't struggle too much along the way. It turned out that he had other ideas a long time ago.
"Then... I'm leaving my hometown with you and going far away. I don't even know your name..." Li Yuanying put her arm around Qilang's neck and asked softly, "Husband, what's your real name?"
After asking this, Li Yuanying looked at Qilang's face. His eyes became gloomy. He put his arm around Li Yuanying's waist, then pressed her on the bed, looking her up and down carefully.
The gaze slowly turned from cold to warm, passing over every inch of Li Yuanying's skin and every strand of hair, as if to melt her.
"If you want me to marry you, will you tell me?" Li Yuanying's hand slid to Qilang's ear. She gently stroked his earlobe and hooked her legs around his thigh.
Qilang had never seen a woman before. When he was in Buzhou Mountain, he only knew how to practice hard. He was arrested and imprisoned as soon as he came out of the mountain. Now facing this little goblin, he was fascinated by her for a while.
Where did she learn these skills that made him so uneasy?
"I can't say." Qilang uttered these words after a long while.
Li Yuanying withdrew her hand somewhat disappointedly. She lay on the bed with hazy eyes and infinite spring beauty. Sometimes she was as noble as a plum blossom, and sometimes as seductive as a poppy.
Qilang could no longer hold back and moved towards the woman. His kisses fell on every part and every inch of her body. He wanted to possess her completely and wanted the two of them to be one forever.
At first, Li Yuanying was hesitant, but later, she thought that she had not much time left and she had not consummated her marriage on the wedding night. Now was the best time, and it would be hard to say what would happen in the future.
She let the man take her to the clouds and into the rain, the clouds were like smoke and the rain was like silk, a night of deep warmth and lingering love.
At the depth of her love, Li Yuanying panted and called out, "Qilang, I want to call your name..."
I only heard a deep male voice panting in my ear. After a long while, he said, "Pei Wan, call me Pei Wan..."
"Pei Wan..."
"Pei Wan..."
…
The next day.
When Li Yuanying was dressing up, she found some marks on her neck from last night. She felt a little embarrassed and blamed Qilang for making it difficult for her to see people today.
Qilang found some rouge and powder from somewhere and gently applied it on the scars for Li Yuanying.
"Okay, ma'am, take another look." Qilang took out a bronze mirror and helped Li Yuanying look at herself.
Sure enough, it is no different from the skin and cannot be seen.
"Husband, you seem to be very proficient in these things." Li Yuanying joked.
"I just saw my mother wipe her face with this, and I thought it should be able to cover the marks." Qilang explained hurriedly.
Li Yuanying thought her husband was really interesting.
Pei Wan.
She looked at his face and remembered the name he said in her ear yesterday, with his face full of emotion and unable to control himself.
This is his only and biggest secret.
The only secret that could kill him.
"You are not allowed to tell my real name to others." Qi Lang took Li Yuanying's hand and held her in his arms. "If you want to kill me, you can do so, but don't let others know. Do you understand?"
Li Yuanying looked up in surprise, then smiled: "Don't worry, I just want to know... Heaven knows, Earth knows, you know, I know, no one else will know."
"good."
The two hugged each other, and they both knew that this kind of peaceful time would not last many years.
Sure enough, someone kicked the door open a moment later, and Eunuch Zhao arrived with a group of men. He shouted, "Miss Li, why don't you go find the real culprit quickly? What are you wasting time on here?"
"Eunuch Zhao, I carefully analyzed this matter last night. The Crown Prince never left the palace before, but he has been going out frequently recently, which led to this tragedy. Therefore, the person who always encouraged him to leave the palace must be the culprit of this incident."
