These past few days, we've been busy removing resentment without rest.
So, this rare break quickly lulled me into a dream.
I slept exceptionally well that night, without even having a dream.
When I woke up and opened my eyes, I met You Ji's deep eyes. Our eyes met and the tenderness in You's eyes instantly captivated me. My heart was pounding and my face began to burn.
A soft smile played on You's lips as she whispered in my ear, "Awake?"
I softly hummed in agreement. The warm breath from You's voice still lingered in my ear. I was completely held tightly in You's arms, and my hands were somehow on You's chest. To make matters worse, my legs were also raised high and wrapped around You's waist.
This pose... really... My face turned even redder.
I was about to move my leg down, but You's hand was on my thigh, preventing me from moving it.
"You," I said softly, "my sleeping posture was terrible, did you not get any rest?"
You buried her head in my neck and let out a deep "hmm".
Hearing You's affirmation, I felt a little guilty. I didn't used to sleep like this. Was I just too tired this time?
"You're keeping me awake." You lifted her head and planted a kiss on her lips.
You looked at me intently with your dark eyes, "Xin'er, you're making it hard for me to stay calm."
I immediately widened my eyes, a hint of embarrassment and annoyance in my expression, "I'm already feeling this bad, and you still..."
You smiled broadly, her eyebrows curving upwards. "I was just teasing you. Of course, I don't want you to suffer."
I pursed my lips; what You said in this regard never counted.
Youze smiled and hugged me, but this time she was much more obedient.
I lay in You's arms and fell asleep again; I was just too tired.
When I woke up again, my head felt a little heavy.
I shook my head; I must have been sleeping too soundly.
"Hmm, what time is it now, You?" I looked up at You.
A sleeping face came into view, with curled eyelashes casting a shadow under the eyelids, and her warm, red lips pressed tightly together, her breath coming in shallow and deep breaths.
I immediately stopped making a sound and obediently nestled in You's arms, not daring to move for fear of waking her up.
I nestled in You's arms, completely lucid, listening to her breathing, her heartbeat, the birdsong from afar, and the tinkling of wind chimes by the door. They all blended together in my ears to form the most beautiful symphony.
Time passed by second by second, but I didn't feel anxious or bored at all. I thoroughly enjoyed this rare moment.
Suddenly, I felt You's chin rubbing against the top of my head, followed by You's slightly hoarse voice, "When did you wake up?"
"Just woke up." I heard You move and lifted my head to give her a big kiss on the chin. "A good morning kiss for you."
From my vantage point, I could just see the corners of You's mouth turn up. "You knew it was morning?"
"Hmph! Then tonight it is!" I glanced at the window, and indeed, the sky outside couldn't be seen through the curtains.
"Kiss me if you want to, why make up so many excuses?"
"Is that not allowed?" I looked up, pretending to be fierce, and moved up a bit, this time kissing You hard on the cheek.
You looked at me with a smile in her eyes.
"Emm..." I immediately got off You and moved a little further away, weakly saying, "It hurts."
You raised an eyebrow. "I'm not going to do anything to you, so why are you so far away?"
Hearing You say that, I laughed and rolled back into You's arms.
We wrestled and played around on the bed for a while before getting up.
When we got ready and went outside, the sky was about the same color as when we arrived.
"Have we been here all day?" I wondered, looking at the brilliant sunlight in the sky.
When You heard me say "one day," she gave me a slightly upturned, enigmatic look but said nothing.
"Let's go, we should go find some land."
You and I rushed to the Earth God Temple as fast as we could.
When Shalin saw us, his face lit up with joy, and he said excitedly, "You two are finally back."
I scratched my head, looking at Sha Lin like this, had we been gone for a long time?
"Have we been gone for a long time?"
Sha Lin was slightly taken aback, glanced at us, and said weakly, "You've been gone for five days."
"Five days?!" I was completely stunned. How could we have stayed in that little cabin for five days?!
No wonder my legs hurt so much... I just don't know how long I slept... I think I slept twice in total.
Seeing my startled expression, Shalin cautiously asked, "Don't you have time for the place you're going to?"
When I saw Sha Lin ask this, my face turned red with embarrassment. How could I possibly answer that? Should I say that we spent five days in bed?! I couldn't bring myself to say that, even if you killed me.
I coughed lightly twice and quickly changed the subject, "Let's hurry to the next place, there are still many grievances to resolve."
"Oh, okay." Shalin immediately realized what was going on and wisely didn't press the matter further. "The resentment here has been resolved. I'll take you to the next location."
"good."
You and I followed Shalin on another journey to remove resentment, but the mortal world is so vast, we don't know when we'll be able to finish.
"You, do you think the rest of them have already taken care of things?"
"Not necessarily." You shook her head slightly. "Adult resentment is much more difficult to deal with than what we've encountered before."
I sighed. Logically speaking, the mortal realm should also be under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court, but I haven't seen Luo's figure yet. Could it be that the Heavenly Court's resentment hasn't been resolved yet?
Actually, I still have some feelings for Luo. Although it was probably Luo who told Liu Lieyu about us in the Abyss, Luo also helped us when we left Guixu.
Luo told Liu Lieyu that I was in the Abyss, probably because he had no other choice.
As I was thinking this, we arrived at a local earth god temple. The earth god had been waiting for us for a long time and led us to find the human being possessed by resentment.
You and I worked together exceptionally well. He was responsible for drawing out the resentment, while I was responsible for completely destroying it with the fire stick.
