Chapter 41 Immortal Lord 041%
Qu Yaoyao really likes the little phoenix that Xie Qingxun gave her, and it comes from the bottom of her heart.
But the pendant Chong'an gave her is more important. She has been wearing this blood-drop pendant since she was reborn. It contains Chong'an, whom she loves. He gave her a second life, so the pendant and Chong'an are as important as her life.
"...Can't throw it away." Qu Yaoyao repeated her words again, turned around and looked at Xie Qingxun warily.
Xie Qingxun's good mood was mostly destroyed by her sudden disobedience. A cold look flashed in his eyes. He enunciated each word clearly, "Can't you throw it away?"
"Why can't we just throw this broken thing away?"
Qu Yaoyao held the pendant tightly in her palm. She became annoyed when she heard his words and retorted without thinking, "I don't allow you to say that about it."
"It's not a broken thing."
Xie Qingxun snorted coldly, his eyes stung by Qu Yaoyao's protective reaction. To be honest, this was not the first time he saw Qu Yaoyao's precious pendant. As early as in Longyun Tower, he had seen her staring at the pendant around her neck in a daze more than once.
What’s so good about this thing? Didn’t she say that she liked the phoenix the most?
The warmth in Xie Qingxun's eyes completely disappeared, and he suddenly stretched out his arms and lifted Qu Yaoyao in front of him.
She was still a little girl, not as long as Xie Qingxun's legs, and with short arms and long legs, she held little weight. Being carried was as easy as carrying a rabbit. Qu Yaoyao was unable to react and slammed headfirst into Xie Qingxun's arms, leaving most of her body out of the water, sending a chill through her.
"There is nothing I cannot do as long as I want to." Xie Qingxun said coldly while imprisoning Qu Yaoyao.
He wasn't a good-tempered person to begin with. He was used to being the overlord and tolerant of no one's resistance. Now, Qu Yaoyao's behavior had aroused his inherent dominance. If he wasn't afraid of hurting her, he would have directly ripped the pendant from her neck.
"No, no, I don't want it..." Qu Yaoyao's legs, which were soaked in the pool, flapped violently and she struggled desperately.
She could ignore everything else, but this pendant was her bottom line. Feeling Xie Qingxun grabbing the blood drop pendant, her mind went blank in panic, and she opened her mouth and bit Xie Qingxun's wrist.
Very strong force, no mercy shown.
Xie Qingxun's wrist froze, and he slowly lowered his eyes to look at Qu Yaoyao.
"Let go." After being extremely angry, Xie Qingxun's voice has returned to calm.
Qu Yaoyao refused to let go, her body clearly trembling with nervousness, but she protested by increasing her strength, implying that she wouldn't let go until he did. Soon, bright red blood began to trickle down her wrist, dripping onto the ground.
The indifferent man in white just stared at the little girl on his wrist with an expressionless face. He held the pendant tightly, and the little girl bit him tightly. The two seemed to be competing secretly, and neither of them was willing to give in first.
Xie Qingxun was so angry that he laughed.
His thick, long eyelashes drooped slightly as he let Qu Yaoyao hang on his wrist, seemingly unhurt. He used his free hand to stroke the little girl's soft hair, feeling the trembling beneath his hand. He smiled again and said abruptly, "The moon is quite bright tonight. Do you want to go up high and count the stars?"
Qu Yaoyao refused to give in.
Xie Qingxun continued, "You haven't seen Qu Yushu since your wedding, right? He went to Zhenxu yesterday to inquire about you, but it's a pity that you're in this state... you can't see anyone."
What do you mean she can't be seen in public?! She just got smaller, not uglier, so why can't she be seen in public?
Qu Yaoyao held it in and continued to hold back.
Xie Qingxun was surprisingly patient at this moment. Even though he couldn't hear Qu Yaoyao's response, he kept muttering to himself for a while, "The Fairy Sword Conference will be here in a few days. Do you want to go and watch it?"
"Yaoyao, do you know what this gift from me is for you?"
Qu Yaoyao still refused to let go. Even when her teeth ached and Xie Qingxun's blood flowed into her mouth, she still stubbornly refused to let go.
But she should never, ever, bite him harder after Xie Qingxun finished his last question. It wasn't that Xie Qingxun didn't feel the pain, but that he had been in pain for so long that he was used to it. But being used to it didn't mean it didn't hurt. Xie Qingxun could clearly feel how much Qu Yaoyao bit his wrist.
This kind of pain has not entered his heart for a long time.
Xie Qingxun looked down at the stubborn little girl and smiled once more. It was no longer one of indulgence and indifference. His smile was filled with a hint of cruelty and gloom, a smile that seemed neither a smile nor a laugh.
"Bite it." Xie Qingxun's voice was calm and steady. "If you hurt me by biting me, I will bite you back."
As he spoke, he tightened his grip on the pendant, completely ignoring Qu Yaoyao's threat.
If he wanted to destroy it, he could easily do so. He had just given Qu Yaoyao a chance to obey. Since she wouldn't listen, he simply crushed the broken thing in front of her. Qu Yaoyao seemed to sense Xie Qingxun's intentions and, anxiously, forced out tears. The hot tears fell directly on his skin.
Snap——
At the same time, the pendant on Xie Qingxun's palm grew hot, a faint red light penetrating his palm and seeping into his bones and blood. His pupils uncontrollably took on a crimson gold hue, and for a moment, Xie Qingxun fell into a fiery void, as if glimpsing a figure's back.
Red clothes, white hair...
who is he? !
The overwhelming pressure sent Xie Qingxun reeling from his internal organs, causing him to take several uncontrollable steps backward. A searing pain shot through his palm, and he lowered his eyes to see his right hand scalded, emitting wisps of black energy. The injury looked strangely familiar.
It seemed that not long ago, when he tried to explore Qu Yaoyao's body, he had also been injured by the pressure of this golden light. So Qu Yaoyao had deceived him again. She didn't have any golden talisman bestowed by the outsider. The real protection for her was the pendant around her neck.
Because Xie Qingxun was hit so suddenly, Qu Yaoyao fell directly into the cold pond.
She didn't know what was going on. When she emerged from the water, she found Xie Qingxun standing six or seven steps away with an unfathomable look on his face. "Are you okay?"
Qu Yaoyao noticed his injured hand.
Xie Qingxun raised his eyes and looked at her.
The phoenix pendant in his sleeve dangled from his wrist, clutched tightly in his bloody palm. Xie Qingxun stared at Qu Yaoyao in silence for a long time, until she felt uneasy, wanting to get closer but afraid he would damage the pendant again.
"I'll give you one last chance."
The snow-white hem of his dress swayed, and Xie Qingxun's face turned pale. His voice was low and cold, "Take it off, and I will forgive you for the past."
This was his biggest concession.
Qu Yaoyao's eyes were still wet. Without hesitation, she shook her head and said no, "Xie Qingxun, it's very important to me. It's really important."
Everyone has secrets in their hearts, and Chong'an is her biggest secret. Qu Yaoyao couldn't tell Xie Qingxun many things, so she could only think of ways to explain, "I..."
She wanted to say that her life was saved by this pendant, and even if she didn't take it off, she could still hang the little phoenix around her neck.
But Xie Qingxun just chuckled.
"Forget it." He interrupted Qu Yaoyao with drooping eyelashes. He seemed to have lost interest and didn't look at her again. He turned and left.
Qu Yaoyao stared blankly at him as he walked away. She called him several times but he didn't stop. She blinked, feeling helpless.
"Is he... angry with me?" Qu Yaoyao reached for the pendant.
This time, the pendant finally responded. The red light flickered slightly. Chong'an's voice was gentle yet cold. He hummed softly and stated, "He's angry."
As for why he was angry, Chong'an in the pendant also watched Xie Qingxun's back as he walked away, and smiled silently. At this time, the little girl's helpless voice came to his ears again: "What should I do?"
"I didn't mean to upset him."
If she counted carefully, this was the second gift she had received since she transformed. One was Qu Yushu's talisman sachet, and the other was Xie Qingxun's little phoenix pendant. But now, not only did she fail to get the little phoenix, she also angered the person who kindly gave her the gift.
I wanted to ask Chong'an for help, but all I got was a few words from him: "Don't worry about him."
"He deserves it. He will be fine after a while."
“…”
Xie Qingxun was really angry with Qu Yaoyao. He ignored her for several days and even stopped appearing in front of her.
The little girl could finally make her own decisions about what to wear with the several full boxes of clothes. She found the plainest and lightest-colored ones in the boxes, and didn't even comb her hair. She just walked on the street with her hair down and the plainest dress on top, looking so comfortable.
"Hmm..." The result of being too comfortable was that the little girl with disheveled hair couldn't stand the slightest wind. When she walked to the corridor, a gust of cold wind blew, and her disheveled hair covered her face.
While she was busy fixing her hair on her face, she didn't see the road ahead clearly and bumped into someone's legs, falling to her knees on the ground.
Shaking her head, she pushed her messy hair aside, looked up along the white brocade robe, and saw the indifferent and aloof face of a banished immortal.
He looked like a fallen immortal, high and mighty, unattainable. He only glanced at the little girl at his feet from the corner of his eye. As if even a glance were a waste of time, he quickly averted his gaze, his expressionless face as he prepared to step past her.
Qu Yaoyao shuddered, and seeing him about to leave, she quickly hugged his legs and called out pitifully, "Xie Qingxun!"
"Are you still mad at me?"
Xie Qingxun was forced to stop, frowning slightly and uttering two words: "Let go."
If he really wanted Qu Yaoyao to let go, there were many ways to force her to do so. Why would he just utter two words without any threat? But Qu Yaoyao was too slow to understand the man's hidden meaning and actually let go.
When he saw her let go, Xie Qingxun's face became even colder.
He had left her out for many days, but instead of waiting for her to give in or accept the punishment, he was very angry. Looking at her crazy little attire, it seemed that she was doing very well without him, even too well.
With a slight curl of his lips, he started to walk away. Gu Tianci, who was following behind him, was so angry that he couldn't help but point at Qu Yaoyao.
"You, you!" What can I say about you!
Gu Tianci had never seen such a slow-witted and honest girl. She was not obedient when she should be, and was so obedient when she shouldn't be, which made people angry.
If no one gave him guidance, Wangxu would have a hard time, so he reminded him, "Master is an immortal. It's fine if you angered him without knowing how to behave, but are you expecting him to coax you now?"
Qu Yaoyao tilted her head.
Her originally smooth hair was blown into a ball by the wind. She tucked it behind her ear and said, understandingly, "So, you mean that I should take the initiative to coax him?"
Do you want the little girl to give in and be coaxed?
Chong'an's mocking laugh came to my ears, "How shameful."
The dignified Immortal Lord Qingxi, when he is jealous, needs girls to comfort him. Can it be more embarrassing?
The author has something to say: Yaoyao: Wow OVO.
We are currently in the honeymoon period, and the recent chapters are all very light-hearted and sweet. Xiao Xie must first fall completely in love with Yaoyao, so that he will go crazy later.
I’m too sleepy tonight and haven’t gotten enough sleep these past few days. I’ll try to update more tomorrow!
