Chapter 33: Fuli: I kissed her twice, and both times I took the initiative.
"What are you looking at?" Lingzhuzi narrowed his eyes alertly, his whole body tense, just like a cat that was about to jump out the window to escape when it saw that the situation was not right.
Fu Li swallowed and said calmly, "Worship, fanatically worship."
Seeing Lingzhuzi's tense muscles relax, Fuli suddenly leaped over and precisely locked his throat. His long arms tightly wrapped around his neck, and he said proudly and arrogantly, "Haha, I finally got it, didn't I?"
Ling Zhuzi's eyes widened in shock, and his muscles, which had just relaxed a little, tensed up again in an instant, and his whole body froze.
If Lingzhuzi had not been particularly familiar with Fuli's breath, he would have been subconsciously kicked away the moment she pounced on him.
Thinking of the hidden danger just now, Ling Zhuzi was anxious and angry, and couldn't help but scold: "You were simply seeking death just now. It's very dangerous, you know?"
Fu Li wasn't afraid of him at all. She stepped on his instep with both feet, then stood on tiptoe to rub his cheek. She grinned and said, "I trust you. I trust your quick reaction and excellent self-control."
Lingzhuzi's whole face turned red in an instant. He felt that his cheeks were smoking. The fierce momentum just now suddenly turned into a cowardly look.
He reached out and nudged Fuli, feigning composure to express his displeasure: "You've grown old for nothing, yet you're still so unstable."
If he could use any of his usual strength, Fu Li would have thought that he really wanted to push her away.
But she still let go of his hand, fearing that she had teased him too much and made him angry.
"Okay, okay, I won't hug you." Fu Li hummed, stepped on his foot again, and then skipped to see the newly-kiln porcelain.
People in this era were much more unrestrained than those in later generations. If a man and a woman were attracted to each other, they would hug each other with pillows and mats and find a slightly secluded place to be honest with each other.
The surrounding porcelain workers were not surprised by the little scene just now, and it did not affect their normal work at all.
Fu Li walked away, leaving Ling Zhuzi in a dilemma. He followed her with his eyes for a long time before he realized that he was actually feeling regret.
Lingzhuzi suddenly became angry and embarrassed, and wanted to slap himself twice: No, what are you regretting?
He gritted his teeth and stared at Fu Li who was discussing the quality of porcelain with the porcelain craftsmen. He felt angry and aggrieved, but he couldn't figure out what he was angry about or what he felt aggrieved about.
Fu Li was completely unaware of this. After discussing with the porcelain craftsman in charge of the kiln, she was determined that this batch of porcelain was better than all the previous ones, and she was extremely surprised.
Thinking that such fine porcelain was all thanks to Lingzhuzi's natural fire spirit and precise fire control, she ran back happily, holding her cheeks with stars in her eyes, and pouring out compliments as if they were free.
"Lingzhuzi, you are truly amazing! I used to think you were only good at fighting, but I didn't expect you also have an unparalleled talent in porcelain firing."
"Hmph!" Lingzhuzi turned his head away with a sour face. For the first time, he didn't fall for her tricks.
Fu Li was startled, and took small steps to turn towards him, asking in confusion, "Lingzhuzi, what's wrong with you?"
What's wrong? You still ask me what's wrong?
Lingzhuzi glared at her angrily, then turned his head back with a sneer.
Fu Li took a big step to the right and turned to face him again, the distance between them was much closer.
She stood on tiptoe with her hands behind her back, but her eyes were still only at the level of his chin.
"Why are you so tall?" Fu Li complained dissatisfiedly. The moment he turned his head again, her white and slender hands stretched out, tightly holding his cheeks and pulling them down.
Lingzhuzi was forced to lower his head, and the two looked at each other.
"What's wrong with you?" Fu Li puffed her cheeks and said dissatisfiedly, "Don't play dumb, don't sulk without explaining, and don't ignore me."
Ling Zhuzi lost his temper because of her and sighed, "Why are you so domineering?"
Fu Li argued confidently, "People have mouths for speaking. No matter how I've offended you, or how you've been wronged, you have to speak up so I can know."
If you don't tell me and just let me guess, even if I'm extremely smart, there will always be deviations in our minds. If I guess wrong, won't you still be the one who gets angry? "
She emphasized: "Then you are in big trouble!"
Lingzhuzi muttered "heresy", but he was already convinced in his heart.
He took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to ask, "Why did you hug me just now?"
In fact, he also thought: What else do you want to do besides hugging me?
But asking the first question already made him feel like he was showing weakness, and a smile appeared on Fu Li's face. If he asked the second question as well, wouldn't that make her even more proud?
Fu Li's thinking was simple: This was my childhood idol, standing right in front of me, handsome, responsible, and so kind to me. If I didn't take advantage of this opportunity and do something, I'd be ashamed of myself.
Lingzhuzi showed weakness, and Fuli stopped while he was ahead. He took small steps and moved forward. They were so close that they could hear each other's breathing, which made him hold his breath subconsciously.
Fu Li didn't say anything, but did whatever she wanted to do.
Her white and tender hands slid from his cheeks to his neck, and her arms snaked forward like a snake, wrapping around her tighter and tighter, forcing his handsome face closer and closer to her flower-like lips.
Finally, all the distances were cleared, and Lingzhuzi felt that all the senses in his body seemed to have been cleared as well, except for the warm, soft and moist touch of his face which was particularly obvious.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The deafening sound was his heartbeat.
He instinctively felt that he should react, but in reality his whole body was stiff, and all the blood in his body rushed to his head, making his hands and feet uncontrollable.
Until Fu Li let go of him again and took a step back, her round almond-shaped eyes looked at him brightly and slowly curved into crescents.
He suddenly realized: Ah, it turns out that I can breathe!
He breathed hard through his nose, and his trembling voice resonated with his nasal cavity: "You...you..."
Fu Li opened her eyes innocently: "You asked me what I wanted to do, and that's what I wanted to do."
Lingzhuzi...he fled again.
A clear laugh resounded like a silver bell. Fu Li placed her hands on her lips like trumpets and said loudly, "Fairy Jin Ning is here. She's waiting for you in the living room on the mountain."
Lingzhuzi, who had forgotten that he knew the art of escape, paused, made a sharp turn and ran up the mountain again.
“Hahahahahahaha…”
"Master, please stop laughing. Be careful, the Immortal will ignore you again."
All the porcelain in the kiln had been taken out, and the leading porcelain craftsman - Fu Li named him Baici - came to invite her to go and see it, and couldn't help but tease her.
Fu Li said, "Don't worry, he won't bear grudges."
Bai Ci thought to himself: I won’t hold a grudge against you, right?
Although Fu Li was kind, Bai Ci, originally a potter for the royal family, was always very tactful. He would only offer a teasing remark, but would not comment on his master's private affairs.
"Master, all the porcelain has been taken out. The best quality one is a water lotus porcelain painting."
He took Fu Li to see the porcelain painting that was four feet long and three feet wide.
At the bottom are rippling water waves, above which lotus flowers and lotus leaves complement each other, with crystal dewdrops rolling on the lotus leaves.
The lotus comes in five colors: red, pink, purple, pink and white, and they are distributed very harmoniously. They appear to have different graces but do not steal the limelight from each other.
Most importantly, this batch of porcelain has an indescribable feeling. If I had to describe it, it would be that it is so pleasing to the eyes that one can't help but want to look at it for an everlasting time.
She glanced up the mountain and ordered, "Put this porcelain painting in place. I need it now."
"Yes." Bai Ci nodded and ordered someone to bring a sandalwood box, padded it with hay and covered it with silk, then he carefully lifted the porcelain painting and put it in.
It was covered with a layer of silk, and on top of the silk was a thin layer of wooden board, with strips of cork padding around it, and finally the lid was put on.
Fu Li was still worried about the safety, so he cast a new spell to ensure that the porcelain painting would not be shaken at all in the box, and then he flew back to the mountain with it in his arms.
Seeing the treasure-calling boy guarding the entrance of the cave that Zhao Gongming had specially opened for business, Fu Li knew that Guangchengzi had come up the mountain to do business this time.
She waved to the treasure-attracting boy, called him over, lowered her head and gave him a few instructions, then put the porcelain painting in his hands.
"Senior Sister, will this work?" Zhaobao Tongzi hesitated.
Fu Li said, "Just go ahead and give it a try. The worst that can happen is that you can't sell it. We won't lose anything."
The treasure-calling boy thought about it and agreed, so he nodded and went in carrying the porcelain painting.
Fu Li went to the outer hall for reception and happened to meet Ling Zhuzi and Jin Ning who had just come out.
Seeing that it was her, Jin Ning clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Okay Lingzhuzi, you don't have to look for her anymore, she came by herself."
As she spoke, she looked from one to the other with a look of ridicule, then turned to Nazhen and said, "Let's get out of the way and not delay their conversation."
After saying that, she covered her lips with her hands, smiled and ran away.
Nazhen bowed to Fuli and followed him.
Lingzhuzi's face flushed with embarrassment, and Fuli, who had been so bold just now, also felt a little embarrassed. He lowered his head and rubbed it on the ground with his toes.
Seeing that she was embarrassed, Lingzhuzi immediately stood up.
He strode over, his whole body radiating a look of contempt, and said proudly, "Weren't you very powerful just now? Why are you so cowardly now?"
Fu Li was furious: "You're the coward!"
She snorted, but she didn't want to lose face. "I just saw you were leaving, so I gave way to you."
Ling Zhuzi seemed to understand something, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he didn't argue with her anymore. He reached out and touched her head, his tone gentle but firm: "I'm just going to Kunlun Mountain to become a disciple. There won't be any danger. Wait for me to come back..."
Fu Li, who had read countless novels in her previous life, felt her scalp explode. She quickly held his hand and said anxiously, "Stop saying that! It's too unlucky!"
Ling Zhuzi was startled, and asked stupidly, "Then what do you want to hear me say?"
Fu Li thought about it seriously and felt that nothing she said would be auspicious at the time of parting.
She simply cupped his face and pulled him in, planting a soft kiss on each cheek.
"You don't have to say anything, I understand."
——Even if you say ten thousand words, it’s not as good as a kiss.
