"I remember you used to love to laugh, always with your eyes crinkling in a smile, carefree and without a worry in the world."
Looking at Xuan Fengqian, who was as cold and aloof as an iceberg, Leng Ye felt a pang of unease.
As he recalled the past, his deep, resonant voice held longing, yearning, and a touch of melancholy.
"..."
Xuan Fengqian looked at him without saying a word, unsure of what to say for a moment.
She only knew that she had no feelings for him.
Despite his stunningly handsome face, she couldn't muster the slightest interest in him.
Perhaps it's not just a lack of interest.
Whenever she recalls his violent behavior, she thinks of staying far away from him, preferably never having to see him again.
Looking at Xuan Fengqian, who remained unmoved by his words, Leng Ye suddenly regretted confessing his feelings for her.
Since I won't get a response, saying it will only make her laugh at me, so I might as well not say anything.
Thinking of this, Leng Ye concealed the deep affection in his eyes, and said with a smirk, "Xuan Fengqian, I am your savior, shouldn't you repay me with your body? Do you know how much I love your body?"
"Don't come any closer!"
Xuanfeng Qianjian Lengye reached out to unbutton the hidden buttons on his clothes and retreated repeatedly.
"Are you playing hard to get again?"
With a sly smile, Leng Ye pulled her into his arms. Although he wanted to change the way he interacted with her, she seemed unaccustomed to his gentleness.
Left with no other choice, he had to pretend that nothing had happened.
Treat her the same way you treated her before, and treat her the same way now.
Xuan Fengqian struggled to break free from Leng Ye's grasp. Seeing that he looked like he was lustful at first sight, she felt much more at ease.
"Cough cough—"
Leng Ye was pushed by Xuan Fengqian, and his steps became slightly unsteady, and his knees hit the ground.
And there was even a trace of bright red blood hanging from the corner of his lips.
Xuan Fengqian subconsciously took a step back. "Just how much blood did you drink? Why are you vomiting?"
She always felt that a terrifying demon like Leng Ye couldn't possibly be injured.
Even if he had truly suffered a loss of vital energy and vomited blood, she would only assume that he had drunk too much of the blood of birds of prey and had vomited it up.
Leng Ye was speechless at this.
He slowly stood up and said irritably, "I'm not a beast, I never drink that filthy stuff."
"Are you really injured?"
"Before heading to the Xuan Dian Platform, I went to Fu Chen Residence to repair the immortal body of that frail wild man. As you know, I am a demon, and repairing someone's immortal body will inevitably cause me great damage to my vitality."
Xuan Fengqian was extremely surprised and asked with a mixture of disbelief and doubt, "You mean... you repaired Fu Chen's immortal body?"
Leng Ye snorted with a hint of arrogance, "Otherwise what? If it weren't for the damage to my vital energy, would I have let the Fallen Demon go so easily?"
"When did you become so kind-hearted?"
"I did do many unethical things before, but the immortal body of that wild man in Fuchen Residence was not injured by me. Unfortunately, you don't believe me. I don't want you to misunderstand me, so I have no choice but to repair his immortal body first."
"I...I believe you."
At this moment, Xuan Fengqian was truly moved by Leng Ye's actions.
He was indeed terrifying, unpredictable, and extremely violent.
But besides that, she also saw his sincerity, his vulnerability, and even his childishness.
She thought to herself that if they hadn't been so tense at the beginning, they might have been able to become friends.
"You believe that? So, you already knew that I hadn't damaged his immortal body, and you were just deliberately trying to embarrass me?" Leng Ye's face turned ashen with anger.
He had intended to punish her severely, kissing her until she couldn't breathe, but he was afraid she wouldn't be able to accept his kiss, so he had to settle for second best and pinched her face hard. "Little thing, you won't feel comfortable if you don't torment me for a day?"
Xuan Fengqian slapped his hand away forcefully, and said indignantly, "Back then, you knew I didn't poison Xuan Qianning's tea, but you still wrongly accused me without even asking questions. An eye for an eye, that's fair enough."
Are you jealous?
Leng Ye's anger vanished instantly.
In his view, if she were willing to take revenge on him, it would be too lenient.
If she vents her anger thoroughly, there's still a chance she might change her mind.
"Why would I be jealous? I'm just retaliating in kind, repaying you for all the wrongs you've done to me."
Xuan Fengqian was unsure whether she should say this, and was worried that she might anger Leng Ye again.
Seeing that he was seriously injured and probably didn't have the strength to hit anyone, I mustered up the courage to speak my mind.
Leng Ye wanted to apologize to her, but he was naturally proud and would never bow down to her, no matter how much he liked her.
"Xuan Fengqian, tell me the truth, why do you gag every time I kiss you?" He didn't want to keep mentioning Xuan Qianning when they were alone, so he subtly changed the subject.
"..."
Xuan Fengqian wanted to tell him the truth: she found it disgusting.
But she didn't dare.
After much thought, I could only respond with silence.
"I can guess even if you don't say it. Do you think I'm too dirty?"
"..."
Xuan Fengqian still didn't dare to reply.
She just stared at him blankly, feeling that he wasn't as narcissistic as usual tonight, and that he was quite self-aware.
Leng Ye sighed and said helplessly, "I can't change what happened before. However, I can promise you that from now on, I will never touch any woman other than you."
"Why don't you touch it? You don't need to do this."
Xuan Fengqian pondered Leng Ye's words carefully, fearing that he would truly only cling to her from now on, which terrified her.
"To be honest, I only have feelings for you," Leng Ye said, half-jokingly and half-seriously.
He no longer expected her to respond.
He just wanted to cherish the present and treat her well with all his heart.
Xuan Fengqian sensed that Leng Ye seemed to have really fallen for him, and was always worried that he might lose control and start to act like a beast again.
She stared nervously into Leng Ye's flirtatious eyes, silently took out a large stack of red threads from her sleeve, and, taking him by surprise, tied them all around Leng Ye's ankles.
Another day, she will distribute the other end of the red thread to those fairies who are envious of the cold night.
At that time, a riot of flowers will dazzle the eye, and beauties of all shapes and sizes will surely evoke pity. Someone with his philandering nature would most likely fall for someone else.
Leng Ye lowered his eyes, glanced indifferently at the red line that had just landed on his ankle and then vanished without a trace, and the corners of his mouth turned up wildly.
At this moment, he could no longer contain his joy and cupped Xuan Fengqian's face, planting several kisses on her forehead.
"Leng Ye, let me go!"
"You two-faced little thing, you just think I'm not clean? Fine, I'll change. You know how men are, when desire comes, it's really unbearable to hold it in. But from now on, I will never be foolish again, and I will keep myself pure for you."
Xuan Fengqian wiped her forehead where he had kissed her with disgust, and said irritably, "What does it matter to me whether you're clean or not? If you don't leave, I'll call for help!"
"Stop rubbing, you're almost rubbing your skin raw."
Seeing that Xuan Feng's forehead was covered in red, Leng Ye suddenly grabbed her hands and said very seriously, "I washed it very clean. You can check it yourself if you don't believe me."
