Murong Xi witnessed Jing Zhe's shamelessness once again.
However, compared to before, perhaps because they had established a relationship, his shamelessness now seemed particularly endearing to her.
She lightly tapped him, and Murong Xi moved Jing Zhe's hand away from her shapely buttocks. Even though she also hoped that Jing Zhe would touch her, it was definitely not now.
Given her current situation, she really wasn't in the mood.
So he said seriously, "Be careful with the Soul-Severing Fan!"
Jing Zhe turned around and said with a wry smile, "Don't worry about him, because he's already run away, and we can't catch him."
Murong Xi's eyes dimmed again, and she said with self-reproach, "If I hadn't shown up, you would have killed him. After all, you injured him..."
Jing Zhe patted her head and comforted her, "Even if you hadn't shown up, he should have been able to escape, because there's a hidden mechanism in his fan that I never thought of before."
While I was dealing with those traps and hidden weapons, he escaped. A grandmaster's strength isn't so easily killed with a single blow. Besides, he's been in Jingzhou for quite some time and is very familiar with the mountains and forests outside the city; catching him here will be extremely difficult.
Murong Xi nodded after listening, then said nervously, "Then let's hurry into the city! He wouldn't dare to make a move inside!"
In this world, although there are many sects and countless people who know martial arts, the imperial court and sects are unrelated. However, there is an unwritten rule that martial artists cannot use force casually in the capitals of various countries, let alone kill people. This is especially true for martial artists from other countries, who are forbidden from killing people in the capitals of other countries.
Even a master as powerful as the Soul-Severing Fan dared not make a move in Jingzhou. After all, for a big figure like him who was famous in the martial arts world, if he made a move, it would have too many repercussions. In that case, not only would he be at odds with the Anguo court and the sect, but even his homeland, the Southern Qi, would not forgive him.
So once you get into the city, you're safe.
Jing Zhe nodded. He had achieved his goal of leaving the city today, and with the assassination attempt, he knew he couldn't stay here any longer. He needed to return to the city and make some careful plans.
When they arrived at the place where Murong Xi had been riding her horse, and saw the horse's carcass, riddled with bullets and mangled beyond recognition, Murong Xi covered her mouth and almost vomited. Seeing this, Jing Zhe quickly carried her away.
After taking a few steps forward, Murong Xi stood on the ground, patted his chest, and felt better.
"The horse is gone, how are we going to get back?"
"Of course it flew there."
"Fly back?"
"Yes, wasn't that the case back outside Liangzhou City?"
When Jing Zhe mentioned it, Murong Xi recalled that when they returned to Liangzhou from the Western Frontier camp, Jing Zhe carried her and flew for a long time, but her feelings at that time were completely different from now.
Thinking about it, she felt a little nostalgic.
So he stretched out his arms and stared intently at Jing Zhe: "Then take me flying!"
"Okay!"
After Jing Zhe finished speaking, he picked up Murong Xi and leaped into the air. The snow-covered forest and mountain path beneath his feet kept receding, like an ink painting.
"This feeling is wonderful! I wish time could stand still at this moment!"
Murong Xi wrapped her arms around Jing Zhe's neck and said sincerely, but then quickly laughed self-deprecatingly, "But that would be too selfish! Actually, this is good enough. At least even if you're not by my side in the future, just thinking about this moment will make me smile happily!"
"Don't worry, I'll stay by your side when you return from Yueyao Kingdom!"
Murong Xi nodded, but still smiled and said, "With so many women like you, how could you always be by my side? But when you're with me, you only think of me, just like now. Love is so simple, and I'm content! When you're not by my side, I still have something to look forward to..."
"Is love that simple? Would you like to remember not only the scenes of today, but also the sounds of today?"
"Um?"
Murong Xi asked curiously, "How do you remember the voice?"
"Come, hold my hand, and I'll tell you."
"oh."
As she spoke, Murong Xi tightened her grip on Jing Zhe's hand.
I want to hold your hand like this and never let go.
Can love be simple and without harm?
You leaned on my shoulder.
You sleep on my chest.
Life like this,
I love you, you love me…”
What song is this?
"This is a song I wrote for you, Simple Love."
"Simple Love..."
"Does it sound good?"
"It sounds great!"
"Then I'll sing it for you again, so that when you sing this song, you'll think of me, okay?"
"good!"
"I want it to stay like this..."
The midday sun was quiet and warm, falling on the two people dancing in the air, a scene of enduring and beautiful affection…
...
These happy times always seem too short.
Before long, Jing Zhe had carried Murong Xi to the city gate. As a few pedestrians appeared on the road, Jing Zhe descended from the sky with Murong Xi in his arms.
Murong Xi was too embarrassed to let Jing Zhe hold her in public, so she reluctantly got out of his arms.
"Ugh, I really don't want to go back!"
Before entering the city, Murong Xi sighed.
Jing Zhe gave a wry smile. "I didn't want to come back either, but the Soul-Severing Fan is right outside the city, and with his Grandmaster strength, that injury might not be a big deal for him. It's too dangerous for him to stay outside!"
Murong Xi nodded. She naturally understood, otherwise she wouldn't have asked Jing Zhe to take her back to the city. However, today should be the best opportunity for her and Jing Zhe. She really wanted to spend more time with him!
Neither Wenxiangju nor the newspaper office offered any opportunity for solitude. After thinking for a moment, Murong Xi tentatively suggested, "How about... we go to another inn?"
"..."
Goodness, this was the first time Jing Zhe had been dragged to a hotel room by a woman, so he looked at Murong Xi with some surprise.
Your openness is beyond my imagination…
Feeling embarrassed by Jing Zhe's gaze, Murong Xi blushed slightly and immediately lowered her head.
"I just... just wanted to find an inn and have a proper talk with you... Don't you want to know why that Soul-Severing Fan, who has become a Grandmaster, would still go to Anguo to kill someone for a Transformation Pill? Don't you want to know what the Transformation Pill is actually used for?"
Jing Zhe nodded, because he really wanted to know what magical effects this Immortal Transformation Pill had. Could it be even more magical than his "Date Pill"?
However, after thinking about it, he rejected the idea. If the Immortal Transformation Pill and the Jujube Pill had similar effects, then even if Murong Xi was completely ignorant of martial arts, Chu Xia's martial arts skills should not be this bad, right?
Seeing him nod, Murong Xi immediately said, "That's why I said we should find an inn, just the two of us, so we can have a proper chat..."
His eyes then dimmed slightly: "If I go back to Wenxiangju or the newspaper office, I'll never have the chance to speak like this again!"
"..."
