The masked man was silent for a moment, and with a little force, the two of them switched positions, so that he was at the bottom and she was at the top.
"How about this?" he asked.
One arm was clasped around her waist, and the other was pinching the back of her neck, kneading it intermittently, as if he was treating a pet.
Xue Huan: Is this guy really taking advantage of her? But this was their first meeting, and it started off so unfriendly. He didn't even know what she looked like, so she must be overthinking it.
He must be afraid that she would run away, so he restrained her movements in this way... right?
After all, if she made any move, he could immediately break her neck.
For a moment, silence fell between the two, and no one spoke.
Other senses are subsequently amplified.
Forced to lie on the masked man, Xue Huan could clearly feel his heartbeat, steady and powerful, beating against her eardrums one by one, like a special lullaby, bringing her a sense of security.
The scent on his body was crisp and clean, like the scent of cedar on the top of a mountain, emitting under the sunshine and breeze.
He rested his chin on the top of her head, stroking it gently and seeming to smell it.
Xue Huan felt that she was very strange at the moment. She didn't reject his touch at all, and even had a desire to indulge in it.
Was she bewitched by this man in some subtle way?
"you……"
"Hmm?" He made a low, lazy nasal sound.
Xue Huan's heart trembled. Oh my god, this man is definitely a monster and a disaster. His voice alone makes her lose control.
She couldn't stay with him any longer.
"I must make it clear that I really have no ill will towards you. I'm just curious about your face. As for the rest, I know nothing and will never tell anyone. So... can you let me go?"
After saying that, she waited nervously for his reaction.
"Want to see my face?"
Without waiting for Xue Huan to answer, the masked man waved his hand and released several streams of energy, and the extinguished candle suddenly lit up.
The sudden light stimulated Xue Huan so much that she subconsciously closed her eyes.
The masked man stretched out his body beneath her, a pair of dark, deep eyes staring at her from behind the mask. "Girl, you can take off the mask and see for yourself."
For some reason, when he asked her to take off the mask, she felt a little hesitant.
"Miss, don't you want to know what I look like? Why don't you take it off and see?" His voice was a little tempting.
Xue Huan stretched out her hand hesitantly, and the moment she touched his mask, her other hand suddenly slapped a talisman on him.
This time, the masked man was truly frozen by her.
Xue Huan moved away from him and said, "I'd better not watch it, or I'm afraid you'll keep relying on me."
Before she finished speaking, she had already disappeared with the molehill.
Only a lingering fragrance remains.
The masked man lay on the bed with a raised corner of his mouth. He did not show any anger at being attacked. Instead, his eyes revealed a sense of pleasure and satisfaction.
"Hanhan..." He uttered her name softly, obviously having recognized her a long time ago.
When he smelled the unusual smell in the air, he realized that someone had broken in, so he pretended to be knocked unconscious and fell on the bed. Sure enough, someone appeared soon.
But at this moment he had no idea that this person would be Huanhuan, until the moment he grabbed her wrist.
His body reacted faster than his mind, so he quickly changed the direction of the palm that was meant to hit her, and instead pulled her towards him and held her tightly in his arms.
All his actions after that were just to take the opportunity to get close to her.
But she was too cunning and escaped without being noticed.
Of course, this was also because he was completely defenseless against her. Otherwise, if he really wanted to trap someone, he wouldn't give her a chance to escape.
Although he was immobilized by the immobilization talisman and could not move, he was not in a hurry at all. He lay there leisurely and calmly, recalling every detail of his time with her in his mind.
Half an hour later, the effect of the immobilization talisman wore off, and the man sat up from the bed and took off the mask himself. That face was none other than the Young Master of Nan Tang, whom Xue Huan had met twice before!
However, the next moment, he tore off a human-skin mask as thin as a cicada's wing from his face, revealing his true appearance.
If Xue Huan were here at this moment and saw the face under this double mask, she would definitely be shocked.
Back at the inn, Xue Huan lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling for a long time. Recalling the masked man's actions, she suddenly had an epiphany - he knew her!
Otherwise, there is no way to explain that sense of familiarity!
But who could he be? Could it really be that young master from Nan Tang?
Xue Huan couldn't help but regret it now. She had refused the opportunity to unmask him before, and now she was looking for trouble again.
Forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore. Who cares who he is?
The two purposes of coming to Yujing City have basically been achieved now, so I can spend the rest of the time having fun.
Xue Huan entered the space.
Behind the thatched hut complex, there is now another mountain, the emerald mine.
She moved an entire vein of top-grade jadeite into the space. After the jade worm had eaten its fill of spiritual liquid, it burrowed into a piece of jadeite raw stone and went to sleep.
From then on, as long as she had this jade worm, she would never have to worry about not having jade to use. It could be said that this jade worm was the greatest gain of her trip to Yujing.
I wonder how Tang Yu is doing with his stone-cutting? He'll be shocked if he can find jade in every piece of rough stone.
The next morning, Xue Huan knocked on the door next door. Tang Yu opened the door. Contrary to what she had imagined, Tang Yu was not very excited to see her. Instead, he looked listless, with dark circles under his eyes.
"Did you not sleep well last night?"
Out of humanitarianism, Xue Huan expressed her concern.
Tang Yu yawned loudly, "It's not that I didn't sleep well, it's that I didn't sleep all night."
There were more raw materials in the room than when Xue Huan left yesterday. It should be that the raw materials she bought were delivered one after another. However, looking at the pile of waste materials piled up in the corner, it was clear that Tang Yu was not idle yesterday.
But what about jade?
As if knowing what she was going to ask, Tang Yu walked to the inner room, pulled the curtain aside, revealing a bed full of jade.
Some are big, some are small, and come in different colors, but they pack a huge punch.
Xue Huan finally understood why he hadn't slept all night. It turned out that he had placed all the jadeite he had unearthed on his bed.
"Didn't I prepare a box for you?"
Tang Yu knelt down beside the bed, opened his arms and embraced the bed full of jadeite, his face intoxicated: "This is the first time I have seen so many jadeite, and they were all discovered by me, but I know these jadeite do not belong to me, so I can only hurry and stay with them for a while longer."
Xue Huan: Okay.
