Chapter 83 The Joys of the Five Emotions (3)
Qin Wuyan stood there in a daze, feeling as if it were all a dream and unreal.
"Wu Yan!" Bi Yao suddenly threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly.
Qin Wuyan was even more astonished, speechless and at a loss. This... this is still Biyao? How come she seems like a completely different person?
Before, if he got even a little close, she would yell that she wanted to kill him, but now she actually…
Not to mention the Ghost King, even he couldn't help but suspect that Biyao might have really been bewitched.
Biyao was completely oblivious to what he was thinking. The feeling of being able to see him but not touch him these past few days had been unbearable for her. Now that she finally had a physical connection with him, she wished she could stick to him.
Resting her head against his strong chest, feeling the powerful heartbeat emanating from him, Biyao felt very at ease and gently nuzzled his shoulder like a kitten.
She really misses him!
Qin Wuyan had always considered himself quite clever. He believed he could handle any situation with ease. But today, from the moment he stepped into this room, he felt like he could only stand there like a fool, bewildered, uneasy, and incoherent.
Qin Wuyan noticed that she was holding him tighter and tighter, showing no sign of letting go. Her whole body was pressed against him. He couldn't push her away, nor did he want to. He kept raising and lowering his hands, feeling like he didn't know where to put them. Finally, he stiffly stood in mid-air.
He asked cautiously, "Biyao...you...you've really thought it through? Are you sure you want to marry me?"
Biyao knew he wouldn't believe it at this moment. After all, in this memory, she had been going to Qingyun Sect to see Zhang Xiaofan every day, and then she said she wanted to marry him. No one would believe it!
But Biyao didn't have much time to slowly develop feelings for him at this moment. She raised her head, her bright eyes looking at him with utmost sincerity, and said directly:
"Do you think I'm the kind of person who would joke about my life's most important event? Qin Wuyan, listen to me carefully. The person standing in front of you right now truly, truly likes you! I swear, it's more real than gold and silver!"
"Biyao...you...I..." He stammered, not knowing what to say for a long time.
The girl before him, her words so beautiful, her eyes so sincere, filled with his image—this was the person he had longed for countless times in his dreams. Yet, when she actually stood before him, telling him she loved him and wanted to marry him, it felt so unreal, and he hesitated to believe it…
Seeing his surprised and confused expression, and his adorable, bewildered look, Biyao couldn't help but laugh.
Although Qin Wuyan at this time looked exactly the same as Qin Wuyan in reality, who had been the sect leader for many years, their temperaments were quite different. The real Qin Wuyan appeared more mature and composed, and his gloomy aura would be much less pronounced in her presence.
The person in front of him looked somewhat green and immature, but even when he was in a daze, he could still feel that cold, cunning, evil, and ruthless aura.
They are different, but she actually felt that she liked both of them.
Biyao suddenly reached out, hooked her arm around his neck, and kissed his lips without hesitation.
It's so warm and soft, so lovely to kiss!
This feeling made her miss it, long for it, and even reluctant to stop, so she kissed it even more passionately.
Things were unfolding in ways that were increasingly beyond Qin Wuyan's expectations. His body tensed, almost frozen in place as she relentlessly kissed him. Her soft lips and tongue, her hot breath, her fragrant scent, and her slender, supple waist…
It must be a dream! He must be dreaming!
He was willing to immerse himself in such a beautiful dream.
Before she knew it, his hands were already around her waist, pulling her into his arms and returning her kisses. Men seem to have a natural talent for this; Qin Wuyan had never had such an intimate experience with anyone before, yet he was able to do it without any instruction. One moment he was sucking on her soft lips, the next he was entwining his tongue with hers, his movements as gentle as a butterfly's, as if afraid that if he used too much force, all this beauty would shatter like a dream.
"Biyao!! I heard from the sect leader that you are going to marry Wuyan, is it true or...?"
As Qinglong hurriedly ran in, he was stunned to see his good brother and sister embracing and kissing.
Biyao and Qin Wuyan had hurriedly separated the moment Qinglong entered, keeping a considerable distance between them. Biyao covered her face in embarrassment, turning her back to Qinglong, not daring to look at him.
Qinglong rubbed his eyes repeatedly to make sure he wasn't seeing things, then gaped in astonishment: "Wuyan... Biyao... you... you guys..."
"Cough cough!" Qin Wuyan coughed twice and quickly stepped forward to pull Qinglong out: "Big brother, I'll go outside and talk to you!"
Biyao breathed a huge sigh of relief, her face still flushed with embarrassment. She never expected to be seen by Qinglong... It was so incredibly embarrassing!
Ring ring... Ring ring...
The five bells on her wrist suddenly vibrated, their crisp sound instantly pulling her back to reality.
Five days have passed, and only two days remain! But one petal of the Five Emotions Flower is still white.
Biyao was starting to panic; she had to act quickly! She needed to get Qin Wuyan the antidote as soon as possible so they could marry.
However, when she went outside, Qinglong and Qin Wuyan were nowhere to be found. She searched around but still couldn't find them. Instead, she unexpectedly overheard the Ghost King discussing something with Ghost Master, Youji, and others.
"Have you discussed this with that person yet?"
"Sect Master, rest assured, everything has been arranged."
“Very well, let’s spare the Qingyun disciples on Liubo Mountain for now, don’t kill them all. Once they return to Qingyun, we’ll take them down in one fell swoop according to plan.”
Biyao was startled. How could she forget that at this time, the entire Ghost King Sect was still planning to attack the Qingyun Sect?
But in fact, she remembered very clearly that even if the Ghost King Sect hadn't attacked the Qingyun Sect, the Qingyun Sect itself was thrown into chaos because of the incident involving Cangsong, Zhang Xiaofan, and Puzhi.
Biyao immediately rushed in, "Father! Cancel the plan, don't attack Qingyun Sect."
Everyone in the room looked at her. When the Ghost King saw his daughter rush in, he frowned and said angrily, "Biyao, we are discussing important matters. Don't cause trouble here. Get out!"
Biyao wouldn't listen, and advised, "Father! Listen to me, you don't need to attack Qingyun Sect. They'll soon start fighting amongst themselves, even killing each other. Father! Sect conflicts will result in countless deaths and injuries. Why add to the Ghost King Sect's casualties?"
The Ghost King was startled: "How did you know there would be internal strife within the Qingyun Sect? Who told you?" He looked at You Ji: "Did you leak it to her?"
Youji hurriedly shook her head: "I didn't! How could I dare to do something so important? Besides, I've been busy with the tasks the sect leader assigned me these past few days. I only rushed to see Biyao yesterday after hearing that she had fainted, and I went out with the sect leader today. How could I possibly leak the news to her!"
Biyao grabbed the Ghost King's arm: "Father! Don't blame Aunt You, she didn't tell me anything. I know your plan is... it was in my dream, the dream I told you about this morning. I dreamt that you attacked Qingyun Sect, and then I..."
She paused, then slowly said, "I died in that sect war, leaving only a remnant soul. Father, you later tried to revive the Beast God to save me, but you were killed by Zhang Xiaofan..."
The Ghost King was greatly shocked, and both Mr. Ghost and You Ji's expressions changed drastically.
The resurrection of the Beast God is a closely guarded secret, currently known only to the Ghost King, Mr. Ghost, and the two Holy Envoys; Biyao knew nothing about it. And now, she claims to have learned of it in a dream?
But look at Biyao; when she mentioned the Ghost King being killed in her dream, her eyes immediately filled with tears, and it didn't seem like she was faking it. They all looked doubtful, half-believing and half-doubting.
The Ghost King said, "Biyao, how can you take things in a dream seriously? Don't worry, how could Zhang Xiaofan possibly kill me!"
Biyao stubbornly said, "No! He can't kill you now, but he might not be able to in the future! Father! I beg you, please listen to me this once! Don't stir up any more sect conflicts. Didn't you agree to my marriage with Qin Wuyan? Don't you want to see me get married happily? Father! I'm really scared. I don't want to see the disciples of the Ghost King Sect go to their deaths in vain. I don't want to lose you!"
As she spoke, she burst into tears again, large tears rolling down her father's sleeve.
The Ghost King was heartbroken, knowing that comforting his daughter was the priority. He gently stroked Biyao's head and said, "I'm so happy that you care about your father so much! I'll definitely be there when you and Qin Wuyan get married! As for attacking Qingyun... well, I'll believe you for now. Let's wait until Qingyun Sect is in disarray before making further plans. What do you think?"
Biyao exclaimed in surprise, "Really? Father, you've agreed to give up attacking Qingyun?"
The Ghost King nodded: "You're so worried about your father's safety, of course I have to consider your feelings." He reached out and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Don't cry, okay?"
Biyao nodded, but fearing the Ghost King was lying to her, she said coquettishly, "Father, I haven't eaten yet. Will you eat with me today?"
The Ghost King paused for a moment. Previously, either Biyao was often away or he was busy with sect affairs, and the father and daughter had indeed not had a proper meal together for a long time. He immediately smiled and agreed.
For three consecutive days, Biyao hadn't seen Qin Wuyan. She asked several people, and they all said he had returned to the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect. She immediately realized that he had most likely gone back to try and get the antidote.
She was filled with worry and lived in constant fear. This world of memories had been changed because of her intrusion, so she could no longer leave as easily as before.
Biyao was getting increasingly anxious, fearing something might have happened to Qin Wuyan, so she packed her things and decided to go to the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect to help him. Unexpectedly, she hadn't gone far down the mountain when she saw a very familiar figure.
Zhang Xiaofan?!
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Biyao would have almost forgotten that this person even existed in this world of memories.
Zhang Xiaofan said softly, "Biyao! It's been a long time. I... I heard you were sick, so I wanted to come and see you."
Biyao now felt only disgust for him. The thought of how she had begged him to stop in the magic circle that day, but he had remained aloof, filled her with anger, disappointment, and hatred.
She glanced at him, her tone cold: "This is not a place for you."
Zhang Xiaofan felt strange. Why was she so cold towards him? Could it be…? He couldn't help but ask, "I heard that your father wants to marry you off to Qin Wuyan. Is that true?"
Biyao was surprised that he knew about this. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Your information is incorrect."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaofan's eyes lit up. However, what she said next left him utterly shocked.
Biyao said calmly, "It's not that my father wants to marry me off to him, it's that I want to marry him of my own free will."
Zhang Xiaofan wondered if he had misheard. Was she not forced by the Ghost King? Was she marrying Qin Wuyan willingly?
He asked in astonishment, "Is this what you really think?"
Biyao nodded seriously, not wanting to pay him any more attention, and walked straight ahead. But he grabbed her arm and asked, "Biyao, have you been bewitched by Qin Wuyan?"
Biyao was speechless. Sure enough, no one would believe that this was her true intention. Too lazy to explain, she simply said, "That's right! I was bewitched by him, but it was of my own free will. Zhang Xiaofan, you'd better leave quickly, otherwise if your Qingyun Sect people see this, they'll say you're colluding with the demonic witch."
She wanted to leave, but Zhang Xiaofan wouldn't let her, still holding her back.
Biyao was furious and shouted, "Let go!"
Zhang Xiaofan still wouldn't let go, and asked with a puzzled look, "Biyao, if you've really been bewitched by him, I have to capture him and give you the antidote."
Biyao could only laugh: "Sure! I'm going to find him anyway, why don't you come with me!"
Zhang Xiaofan believed her and actually followed her forward, but after only a few steps, they ran into Qin Wuyan and Qinglong.
"Wu Yan!" Bi Yao rushed over excitedly, her face full of anticipation: "Did you get the antidote for the Gu poison?"
Qin Wuyan ignored her, his eyes fixed on Zhang Xiaofan behind her, his gaze sharp as knives, wishing he could kill him immediately.
Biyao, fearing he might misunderstand, quickly explained, "He came here on his own; it has nothing to do with me. I was just about to go find you anyway!"
Qin Wuyan was skeptical: "Really?"
"Of course it's true! I've already said that the person I want to marry is you, how could it be false?"
"Fine, as long as you let me kill him, I'll believe you!"
"Go ahead and kill! I won't stop you!" Biyao said, stepping aside.
This startled all three men. Zhang Xiaofan stared blankly at Biyao, his expression filled with sorrow. Just a few days ago, she had defied the Ghost King to save him. How could she have changed so much in such a short time?
Could it really be Qin Wuyan who's behind this?
Qin Wuyan was visibly pleased upon hearing Biyao's words. He drew his sword, Zhan Xiangsi, seemingly ready to fight Zhang Xiaofan to the death. Just as he raised his sword, a flash of red light appeared before his eyes, and Zhang Xiaofan was taken away by someone.
He was about to give chase when Biyao stopped him: "Don't chase him! Let's ignore him!"
Excited and expectant, she asked, "Wu Yan, you came to see me because you got the antidote?"
Qin Wuyan shook his head slightly, his expression solemn, and hesitated, saying, "Biyao, the antidote... I will get the antidote sooner or later. I will definitely marry you, but right now the most important thing is to help your father deal with the Qingyun Sect. Can we postpone our marriage a little longer?"
Biyao was both angry and furious: "Wait for what?! I don't have time to wait! Qin Wuyan, do you know about this..."
She didn't know how to continue. She couldn't possibly tell him that the world he was in was completely fake, and that she had only come here to collect his five emotions...
However, she was extremely angry and disappointed. She thought he would get the antidote, but she didn't expect that he would still be thinking about helping her father deal with the Qingyun Sect.
After much deliberation, she resorted to her trump card, bursting into tears and demanding an explanation:
"Qin Wuyan! You never wanted to marry me, did you? All that talk about loving me for so long, about protecting me for life, it's all a lie!! You just wanted to use me to gain my father's trust, you have no feelings for me at all!!"
She turned and left in anger: "I just rejected Zhang Xiaofan, he's a hundred times better than you! I might as well just swallow my pride and go back to him!"
Qin Wuyan quickly grabbed her, and Qinglong also blocked Biyao's path, explaining, "Biyao, actually, it won't be so easy for Wuyan to get the antidote..."
"I don't want to hear his reasons!!"
Biyao interrupted Qinglong with a loud shout, "Doesn't he want to break free from the Poison God's control? I don't believe this isn't important to him! My father finally agreed that as long as he gets the antidote, we can get married. But he's using my father as an excuse. Does he think I'm stupid? Qin Wuyan, if you don't want to marry me, don't even mention it! I'll just consider my sincere heart wasted on a dog!"
"That's not how it is!"
Qin Wuyan grabbed her, "Biyao, how could I not want to marry you! Of course I also want to get the antidote as soon as possible... but..."
He sighed deeply, gritted his teeth, and said, "Fine! I promise you, I will get the antidote as soon as possible! Biyao, can you please stop going to Zhang Xiaofan?"
As expected, what Qin Wuyan cared about most was that she was involved with Zhang Xiaofan again. Biyao's anger subsided slightly. "Then what are we waiting for? I'll go with you now to deal with the Poison God and force him to hand over the antidote!"
Qinglong and Qin Wuyan both stopped her. Qin Wuyan said, "No! Biyao, my master is not so easy to deal with. Moreover, he is very good at poisoning people silently. If you are hurt by him, it will be troublesome."
Biyao knew without a doubt how despicable her master's methods were, and that her going might really cause him trouble. So she said, "Alright, I'll wait for you! Wuyan, you must get the antidote as soon as possible, okay? If I wait too long and you still haven't returned, then I'll have to go to the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect to find you!"
Her tone held a pleading quality that Qin Wuyan had never seen before, which puzzled him greatly: "Biyao, our marriage is already arranged, why are you in such a hurry?"
Biyao said irritably, "Qin Wuyan, why are you being so fussy? I like you, care about you, and hope you can get rid of the Poison God as soon as possible so we can marry. Is there anything wrong with that?"
Hearing this, Qin Wuyan was overjoyed, his eyebrows and eyes beaming with laughter: "Good, good, good! You're not wrong, it's all my fault! I'll go right now. Biyao, you go back to your father's side and wait for me. I will definitely get the antidote as soon as possible!"
Biyao, fearing he might still have doubts, hugged him tightly, gazing at him with tender eyes: "Wuyan, you must come back soon, you must come as soon as possible!"
Qin Wuyan's heart fluttered at her gaze. If it weren't for Qinglong's presence, he would have been tempted to kiss her.
He nodded solemnly, then turned and left. Qinglong quickly followed him, asking in a low voice as they walked, "Wuyan, I feel like there's something strange about Biyao."
Qin Wuyan said, "She's not just strange in one aspect, she's strange in every way. But both Mr. Ghost and I have examined her; she's not sick, nor has she been cursed, and she remembers everything clearly. Everything is normal."
"That's even stranger. Do you think... she might be trying to use you to get your master's antidote to save someone?"
“That’s possible, but who would she want to save? I really can’t think of anything. However, since she’s so eager for me to get the antidote, I’ll agree.”
"So, what about your master? Have you made a decision? Are you confident?"
"I'll have to face this day sooner or later. With my older brother's help, I'm confident I can get it."
