Chapter 42 Immortal Lord 042%
Qu Yaoyao had no experience in coaxing people, and didn't know how to coax Xie Qingxun.
Although she didn't know much, she was diligent and eager to learn, and she wouldn't pretend to know. So she humbly asked Chong'an for advice. Chong'an was silent for a while, thought for a moment, and replied, "Xie Qingxun is a man who doesn't respond to soft words. He was cold to you, but if you see him, just be even colder, and he won't dare to make things difficult for you."
"If you really want to coax him, just ignore him, don't look at him, and don't touch him when you see him. Over time, his affectation will subside, and he'll naturally come to you."
Qu Yaoyao was stunned when she heard this and almost believed what he said.
"Why do I feel like you are lying to me again?" Qu Yaoyao was a little skeptical.
A few days ago, it was because she believed his "don't worry about it" that Xie Qingxun's attitude towards her became increasingly cold. This time, she couldn't put her finger on what was wrong with Chong'an's words, but she just felt something was a little strange.
Thinking that Chong'an didn't really like Xie Qingxun, Qu Yaoyao decided to look up some books herself. She didn't have many good reference books, and the only one she had was "The Domineering Immortal Fell in Love with Me." After carefully flipping through the pages, she actually came across a page titled "How to Coax Your Wife in Various Ways."
"The little fairy felt that the Immortal Venerable fell in love with every woman he met, and was fickle towards her, with no place for her in his heart. Disillusioned, she decided to give up on this godlike figure and focus solely on cultivating the Dao. Unexpectedly, the Immortal Venerable suddenly found her at this very moment."
This book is titled "The Domineering Immortal Lord Falls in Love with Me" and is written from a female perspective. Qu Yaoyao had clearly not put herself in the shoes of anyone else when she read it before, but now, because of Gu Tianci's words "coax him", she inexplicably put herself in the perspective of the Immortal Lord.
Watching the fairy's accusations one by one, she reflected for a while and whispered back, "I don't fall in love with everyone I see. I clearly have him in my heart."
Otherwise, she wouldn't study seriously a book that she didn't seem to understand very well.
Reading on, she memorized word for word the Immortal Lord's fancy ways of coaxing his wife after his appearance. The description was very delicate and vivid. Even though Qu Yaoyao had never seen it before, she had a general idea of the scene in her mind.
"First, he pushed the little fairy against the wall, then used his right hand to support the wall and his left hand to hold her waist. The fairy gazed at her tenderly, cupped her cheek and kissed her eyes, then kissed the corner of her lips, and finally whispered in her ear, 'I was wrong, please don't be angry, okay?'"
Qu Yaoyao silently memorized this process, even the Immortal Venerable's coaxing words were remembered exactly, "I promise that from now on, I will only love you, and I don't want those other little goblins anymore..."
But she doesn't have a goblin.
Qu Yaoyao held her chin up and thought for a long time about what to replace it with, but she was at a loss for words and didn't know what to replace it with. In the end, she decided to read it from the book. In the book, after the immortal master coaxed her tenderly, the little fairy cried with excitement.
Having made up her mind, Qu Yaoyao began to implement her plan to coax Chong'an. She didn't know if she was too sensitive, but Chong'an was clearly staying in the pendant, but he didn't say a word about her plan to coax him. It was a bit too quiet.
"Xie Qingxun should like it, right?" Qu Yaoyao was unsure.
Waiting under the tree, she silently recited the contents of the book several times. Chong'an cooperated very well and said, "Well, he will like it."
It would have been fine if he hadn't said anything, but after Chong'an affirmed her like this, Qu Yaoyao actually began to question whether this method was wrong.
"Don't be like this." She didn't feel good at the moment. "Chong'an, when you praise me, I always feel that Xie Qingxun will be even angrier if I do this."
Chong'an chuckled deeply, and it was hard to tell whether it was mockery or gloating. He comforted Qu Yaoyao in a gentle voice, "What are you afraid of? He can't hurt you with me here."
As he was speaking, Chong'an reminded him, "He's coming."
Qu Yaoyao was guarding the flower garden that Xie Qingxun had to pass through on his way back to the main hall.
The Delusion was so large that she couldn't pull anyone to the corner with her abilities, so she could only guard under the tree closest to the corridor. Because Qu Yaoyao had turned into a child, Gu Tianci had sent away almost all the fairy maids around, leaving only a few close confidants.
"Thank you——" Qu Yaoyao shouted loudly before anyone reached the corridor.
After she had shouted a single word, she received Xie Qingxun's cold gaze. The man's expressionless face was cold and noble. Qu Yaoyao's voice gradually faded, "Qingxun, can you come over here for a moment?"
Xie Qingxun pursed his lips and said nothing, then raised his foot to go up to the corridor.
This process is different from what she expected.
Qu Yaoyao was a little anxious and quickly ran over to stop them. Xie Qingxun felt his legs sink, and when he looked down, he saw Qu Yaoyao hugging his legs. The short little girl took advantage of her height and hugged him tightly, rubbing her cheek against his legs twice. She said like a cat, "Please don't leave yet, okay?"
"What?" Xie Qingxun frowned, moved his legs and didn't say the word "let go" this time.
Qu Yaoyao looked up and blinked at him, "Come with me to the tree closest to us. I have something to tell you."
"Let's start from here." Xie Qingxun didn't move.
Qu Yaoyao nudged him and said, "Come on, let's go. We can't talk here."
Without anything to lean on, she had no room to maneuver.
Xie Qingxun was repeatedly arched by her, his long legs bending uncontrollably, as if he was being clung to by some soft, furry little animal. He raised his eyes to look at the tree and then at her, and coldly uttered two words: "Let go."
Qu Yaoyao's arms loosened, but this time she didn't let go. "I think you got even angrier last time because I listened to you."
It turns out that she doesn't know nothing.
Xie Qingxun raised his eyelashes, "So you want me to drag you over there?"
"Where are you going?" Qu Yaoyao didn't understand at first, but then she reacted, opened her eyes wide, and let him go immediately.
Xie Qingxun didn't look at her again and walked towards the tree before her. He was tall and had long legs, so one step he took was equivalent to three steps for Qu Yaoyao. Qu Yaoyao deliberately slowed down her pace and before Xie Qingxun could reach the tree, she gathered her spiritual power and pushed him on the back.
Xie Qingxun reacted quickly and dodged immediately, "You..."
Snap——
A white and tender arm brushed past the corner of his eye and fell down. Xie Qingxun's questioning words were stuck in his mouth. In front of him was the enlarged face of the little girl.
There was no other way. Qu Yaoyao was too short now. In order to successfully do the wall-dong with Xie Qingxun, she prepared a small wooden ladder. Only by standing on the ladder could she be the same height as Xie Qingxun.
She recited it smoothly at that time, but when it came to actual practice, Qu Yaoyao suddenly couldn't remember the process clearly. Xie Qingxun leaned against the tree, his phoenix eyes lightly swept over the wooden ladder she was standing on, and he looked at her with slightly narrowed eyes.
"Qu Yaoyao." He called her by her full name, his voice cold and dark, his emotions unclear. "What do you want to do?"
"I, I, I don't want to do anything QAQ." Qu Yaoyao was shocked by his aura.
She was still wearing a loose, plain dress, her hair loose with a pearl flower pinned to it, and her fair, tender cheeks were stained with dust from somewhere. Being stared at like this, Qu Yaoyao lost track of the routine and could only do whatever came to mind. She leaned in and kissed the corner of his eye.
"I was wrong, don't be angry." Qu Yaoyao recited the lines.
She couldn't remember many of the words, but she only remembered the words about the little goblin, so she coaxed him softly, "I promise, I promise to only treat you well from now on, and I won't like other little goblins anymore."
When Qu Yaoyao got closer to Xie Qingxun, he smelled the sweet scent of peach.
The corner of his eye was itchy from her rubbing it, so he grabbed her shoulders and pushed her back, repeating her last few words slowly and calmly: "The little goblin next to you..."
"Qu Yaoyao, how could I not know that you have a favorite little fairy?"
There was no trace of amusement in his tone. "Who are they?"
Qu Yaoyao doesn’t know who they are either, OVO.
She couldn't answer, and could only feel more and more helpless under Xie Qingxun's chilling gaze. She had already changed from being a wall-dong to sitting like a well-behaved child. She hung her hands on the side of her skirt, lowered her head, and mumbled softly, "I don't have any."
Either it has never existed, or it has existed but is gone now.
Xie Qingxun sneered.
He saw that Qu Yaoyao hadn't come to apologize to him at all, but rather felt that she wasn't living comfortably enough and had come all the way here to piss him off. He reached out to lift Qu Yaoyao's face, but the gesture had left such a deep impression on the little girl that she subconsciously protected the necklace around her neck with both hands.
——The air condensed instantly.
Qu Yaoyao raised her eyes in panic and saw Xie Qingxun's face gradually turning cold.
"I..." she tried to explain, "That's not what I meant."
"What do you mean?"
Xie Qingxun curled the corners of his lips slightly, "You keep saying you were wrong, but I can see you have no regrets at all."
Xie Qingxun picked up the little girl on the wooden frame with one hand and threw her onto the tree behind him. The branches were thick and could easily support a child. Xie Qingxun threw her high up and looked at her coldly from under the tree, saying, "Come down when you truly realize your mistake."
Qu Yaoyao realized that her spiritual power had been sealed by him, and hurriedly hugged the tree branch.
"Let me down."
"I'm afraid of heights and don't want to stay here."
Qu Yaoyao didn't expect that her attempt to appease the person would only make him angrier. She whimpered, "I was wrong, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong this time. Please let me go."
"If you seal my spiritual power like this, I'll die if I fall down."
Xie Qingxun glanced at the ground, moved his wrist slightly, and said indifferently: "Are you going to take off the pendant or not?"
Qu Yaoyao was silent.
Biting her lip, she said stubbornly, "No."
She won't pick it, even if it falls from the tree, she won't pick it.
"You have backbone." Xie Qingxun squeezed out a few words from between his teeth.
Without even glancing at Qu Yaoyao, he turned and left, "Since you treasure this broken pendant so much, wear it from this tree forever."
It would be best if he fell to death.
“…”
Xie Qingxun left.
I really didn’t care about Qu Yaoyao anymore.
The little girl in the white dress hugged the tree trunk, not daring to do anything in the cold wind. She felt a little uncomfortable and sobbed and called out to Chong'an, "I was wrong. I should have listened to you and ignored him."
"He's really fierce. I can't coax him at all."
It’s not all Xie Qingxun’s fault. Qu Yaoyao also knows that she did some things wrong and made him angry again.
Chong'an laughed in her ear, "Will you coax him next time?"
"I don't want it anymore." Qu Yaoyao's skirt fluttered in the wind. She said stiffly, "...He seems unhappy with everything I do. Maybe, like you said, he doesn't really like me talking to him."
Chong'an's voice was very gentle, "It's not that he doesn't like listening to you, it's that he is not worthy of talking to you."
"Yaoyao, he doesn't deserve your sincere treatment."
Qu Yaoyao's mind flashed through various images of a weak Xie Qingxun, and she felt that Chong'an's words were too extreme and not quite right. However, she was not as knowledgeable as he was, so she was unwilling to discuss this issue with Chong'an.
"How am I supposed to get down now?"
Qu Yaoyao looked down at the ground. The height made her legs weak. "He doesn't really want to trap me to death here, does he?"
"No." Chong'an said, "Just jump down."
"Just jump?" Qu Yaoyao shook her head. "Xie Qingxun has sealed all my cultivation. I can't use any spiritual power now. I'll die if I jump."
"Don't be afraid..." Chong'an wanted to say that he would protect her.
But for some reason, he still told Qu Yaoyao the truth, "Xie Qingxun is reluctant to let you die. He has set up a protective barrier on the ground. You can jump directly in without getting hurt."
Qu Yaoyao was stunned for a moment, "Really?"
In fact, Xie Qingxun’s punishment of Qu Yaoyao was fake, he just wanted to scare her.
Qu Yaoyao searched her entire body but couldn't find any heavy jewelry, so she took off the snow lotus bead on her head. The bead mixed with a few leaves fell to the ground, like ripples on the water, and fell to the ground intact without any damage.
Qu Yaoyao felt relieved and changed into a slightly more relaxed posture. She closed her eyes and counted silently. When she counted to three, she covered her face and jumped down.
Wow——
The branches shook, and leaves fell to the ground.
Although she knew that the ground would protect her from harm, Qu Yaoyao was still a little scared during the descent.
"Huh." Halfway down, she felt her center of gravity stagnate, as if she had been caught. Thinking it was Xie Qingxun returning, she quietly stretched her fingers to reveal her eyes, and in the blur she saw a handsome and gentle face, a completely unfamiliar one.
"Are you okay?" The person who caught Qu Yaoyao was a young man in blue clothes, probably about the same age as Gu Tianci.
Qu Yaoyao slowly lowered her hands that were covering her face and tilted her head in confusion, "You are..."
The boy saw Qu Yaoyao's cat-like face clearly, and her eyelashes were slightly curved, revealing a faint dimple. Qu Yaoyao had never seen dimples before, so she reached out to poke it out of curiosity. The boy was a little embarrassed and hugged her to introduce himself, "My name is——"
"Mo Xuanxiao."
"Mo Xuanxiao." The voices of the young man and Chong'an rang in Qu Yaoyao's ears at the same time.
This young man named Mo Xuanxiao is the third disciple under Xie Qingxun.
Through the pendant, Chong'an looked at Mo Xuanxiao's face, his fingers curled up as he told Qu Yaoyao in a calm voice, "This man is trustworthy. If one day I'm not by your side, you can seek his protection."
What does he mean by this?
Qu Yaoyao paused poking her dimples. Mo Xuanxiao couldn't hear their conversation. He didn't know Qu Yaoyao's identity and thought she was just a child. He asked softly, "Little sister, what's your name?"
"Why are you in Wangxu?"
He looked up at the immortal tree that reached into the sky. Noticing that Qu Yaoyao had no cultivation at all, he frowned and asked, "How did you manage to climb such a high tree?"
Before Qu Yaoyao could reply, a cold voice came from behind, "I threw her up there."
Xie Qingxun went and came back, but he didn't expect to see Mo Xuanxiao holding Qu Yaoyao. He hated this disciple from the bottom of his heart. His eyes fell on the arm holding Qu Yaoyao, and he walked up to him and said coldly: "Let her go."
Mo Xuanxiao saw that the smile on Xie Qingxun's face had completely disappeared. He leaned forward respectfully and let Xie Qingxun take Qu Yaoyao. He murmured, "Master."
Xie Qingxun didn't respond, but Qu Yaoyao reacted and waved to him.
She felt that it was very rude not to respond to others, so she looked over Xie Qingxun's shoulder and thanked Mo Xuanxiao, "Thank you for catching me just now. My name is Qu Wuwu..."
Qu Yaoyao's head was pressed on Xie Qingxun's shoulder.
A smile appeared in Mo Xuanxiao's eyes. After the others left, he softly repeated, "Song..."
"Her name is Qu Yaoyao."
Di Shu appeared silently.
Mo Xuanxiao was stunned for a moment. He had heard of Qu Yaoyao before. He hesitated, "Could she be..."
"She is our Lady Yao."
Di Shu reminded calmly, "Xuan Xiao, Madam Yao just turned into a child due to an accident. She is not really a little girl."
He wanted him to be careful and not do anything that would displease his master.
"Xuanxiao knows." Mo Xuanxiao lowered his eyes and noticed a snow lotus bead lying on the ground. He bent down to pick it up. He noticed that the bead was shimmering and was not an ordinary ornament. It had a very light lotus fragrance.
"Is this Madam Yao's thing?" Mo Xuanxiao had just smelled the lotus fragrance from Qu Yaoyao.
Di Shu glanced at it casually. He had other things to do, so he replied perfunctorily and walked away. "It's just a worthless piece of jewelry. Just throw it away."
Qu Yaoyao didn't need this piece of hair accessory, as her master had prepared several large boxes for her.
