Chapter 12: Full of Lies, his cold, blood-stained fingertips twisted her...
An ominous premonition enveloped Shen Wenji.
She raised her eyes and was caught off guard by Xie Yunqing's bottomless eyes.
His gaze seemed to be drawn by an invisible thread, fixed on her slightly open neckline with a dark and terrifying anger.
Xie Yunqing's knuckles, still loosely held by her, had become cold and stiff. His aura suddenly dropped to freezing point, and the uncontrolled release of true energy carried a heavy pressure, almost suffocating him.
Shen Wenji was completely confused. Why was this guy so moody? What had he done to provoke him?
Wait…why is he still staring at her collar?
She subconsciously lowered her head to examine her chest. The bra was wrapped tightly today, without any flaws.
I can't figure it out, but the panic brought by that look follows me like a shadow.
Shen Wenji's heart hardened, he let go of his hand, and suddenly pulled his collar as tight as possible, and retorted with forced calmness: "What are you looking at? You have what I have, you should look at yourself..."
"Heh." A very light sneer escaped from Xie Yunqing's tightly pursed thin lips, with a creepy calmness.
Shen Wenji's scalp tingled, and he subconsciously raised his hands to cover his chest, his lips tight: "Xie Yunqing, what do you want to do?"
Xie Yunqing suddenly grabbed her wrist with such force that she frowned and gasped.
The restraint on his wrist loosened slightly, and Xie Yunqing said in a low voice: "Follow me."
The actions and words were very strong, but the look in his eyes was filled with humility and pleading that Shen Wenji could not understand.
In a trance, she was reminded of the abandoned dog she had seen in a dirty corner.
Shen Wenji has always been a person who responds to soft words rather than hard ones. The inexplicable anger he had just felt strangely dissipated for the most part the moment he met her gaze.
Yan Xu was extremely anxious, and she gave him a reassuring look.
Xie Yunqing seemed to unintentionally turn sideways, completely blocking her behind him and preventing them from seeing each other.
Then he pulled Shen Wenji away from the scene without saying anything.
Outside the house, the Albizia Julibrissin tree stands tall and majestic like a canopy, and the fluffy flowers on its branches are as bright as clouds. When the wind blows, a few light red petals fall down.
The soft silk of flowers brushed against Shen Wenji's shoulders. She stopped abruptly under the tree and angrily shook off Xie Yunqing's hand. She asked impatiently, "Xie Yunqing, what exactly are you going to do?"
"Who did it?"
"What?" Shen Wenji's brain short-circuited for a moment.
The next moment, a large, slightly cool hand suddenly covered her neck, pulling her closer irresistibly.
The distance suddenly shortened and breathing could be heard.
Shen Wenji's throat tightened. She was not sure whether the illusion of her Adam's apple would be seen through, so she took a small step back guiltily.
The palm slowly moved to the back of her neck and pinched it lightly with a very punishing look.
"Don't move." Xie Yunqing's voice was as cold as ice.
"You..." Shen Wenji had just uttered a word when an irresistible force suddenly pulled her away.
The world was spinning.
Her back hit the rough tree trunk, making her groan.
A tall shadow descended, trapping her firmly between the tree trunk and his scorching chest. One bony hand protected the back of her head, while the other firmly braced against the tree trunk beside her ear.
For the first time, Shen Wenji felt so clearly the absolute oppression brought by Xie Yunqing's tall body.
This posture... is a bit too close.
A burning blush instantly crept up her ears. She glared at Xie Yunqing and cursed, "Are you sick?"
Xie Yunqing turned a deaf ear to it.
The cold fingertips pinched her jaw with irresistible force, and forcefully turned her cheek to the side, forcing her to expose her fair and fragile neck.
His fingertips slid down along her delicate skin, and finally, with a hot and probing look, they stopped at the edge of her clothes.
Shen Wenji's heart was filled with alarm. She wanted to turn her head, but she was restrained and unable to move.
She couldn't see Xie Yunqing's expression at all. This uneasiness made her hold her breath and hold the dagger under her sleeve tightly.
His fingers tapped lightly on her collar, and then an unexpected force pulled her collar.
Shen Wenji cried out in surprise, and instinctively covered the part above her bra with one hand to prevent Xie Yunqing from seeing her secret of being a woman disguised as a man.
The other hand mercilessly raised the knife and slashed it down with a sharp sound, as if to stab the impudent hand, trying to force Xie Yunqing to retreat.
With his level of cultivation, this knife would not be able to hurt him at all as long as he tried to dodge.
However.
“Puff!”
The dull sound of a sharp blade entering flesh could be clearly heard.
Xie Yunqing actually took the blow head-on without even activating his protective spiritual power.
Scarlet blood instantly spread on the snow-white sleeves, which was dazzling and shocking.
Shen Wenji's collar was also pulled loose.
Xie Yunqing's cool, blood-stained fingertips twisted her collarbone with some force, as if he was wiping something.
The place that was touched felt like it was on fire and became extremely hot in an instant.
Shen Wenji looked up in horror, unable to believe it: Is this man crazy? He is willing to take this knife just to see her collarbone?
The young man's hoarse question came from my ear: "What is this?"
"What is there? I think you are really crazy..." Shen Wenji muttered complainingly: "Let me go first, how can I know what it is if you don't let me go?"
Xie Yunqing looked at her deeply and finally released his grip.
He raised his hand and touched the red mark on his collarbone with his fingertips, and reminded him coldly: "Here."
Perhaps inheriting the good genes from her mother in the Hehuan Sect, Shen Wenji's skin was as smooth as jade. The marks from the love shell bite hadn't yet faded, and the harsh pinching of those rough fingertips had made it even more dazzling and dazzling.
Shen Wenji glanced away, speechless and choked with sobs.
That's it? She thought it was a big deal. Isn't it just a red mark? How can she explain this? She couldn't possibly explain the Hehuan Sect's love-binding shell to him...
She wiped the red mark, trying to hide it, and pulled her clothes to cover it. She said casually, "I told you it's nothing, just a mosquito bite."
Xie Yunqing's eyes darkened, and the knuckles of his clenched fists turned white. The wound, which was already bleeding, bleeds even more due to the force he exerted, but he seems to be unaware of it.
He pulled the corner of his mouth, raising a very sarcastic arc.
Do you really think that Xie Yunqing is a fool?
The shape, size and color of the red mark could never have been caused by a mosquito bite.
Instead, it was as if someone leaned over closely, buried their breath in the hollow of the collarbone, tossing and turning on the delicate skin, leaving such an ambiguous, dazzling, and imaginative red.
He didn't know why she kept it from him, and he didn't understand why he was so out of control today.
It was as if a string in my mind had completely broken, and a strange and crazy impulse broke out.
He wanted to lean over and bite off the unsightly mark. Or he wanted to lick, suck, and suck it repeatedly with his scorching lips and tongue until it was completely covered, leaving his mark.
Xie Yunqing unconsciously licked his fangs, his dark eyes locked on the piece of clothing, his scorching gaze almost burning through the fabric, taking the red mark into his eyes again.
Shen Wenji's throat moved nervously. Xie Yunqing was really strange today. Not only was his face expressionless, but he was also talking in a mysterious way, full of a dangerous aura, as if he regarded her as prey?
"What on earth are you thinking about?" Shen Wenji raised his hand and shook it vigorously in front of his unfocused eyes.
Xie Yunqing said nothing.
Shen Wenji was so angry that he grabbed the dagger on his forearm and pulled it out without mercy.
"Ouch!" The severe pain finally brought Xie Yunqing back to consciousness. He groaned and his lips turned pale in an instant.
While mobilizing his spiritual power to stop the bleeding and heal the wound, he lifted his eyelids, his eyes full of mockery: "Nothing, I was just wondering what kind of mosquito could have bitten such a unique mark."
The corners of Shen Wenji's mouth twitched slightly, and he laughed dryly, "Why? Xie Xianjun is also quite knowledgeable about mosquitoes?"
"I'm ignorant of the ways of mosquitoes." Xie Yunqing stared at her coldly, "I think it looks more like a human hickey."
Hearing this, Shen Wenji's ears turned slightly red, and he choked in fear: "Cough cough cough."
A hickey? ? ? She recalled the basic knowledge of love and affection she had cram-dig yesterday. Based on the text description and the scroll reference, she carefully compared and analyzed it and found that it did resemble... a hickey.
Unexpectedly, Xie Yunqing had such a wealth of knowledge that he could easily see through her poor excuse.
So the question is, how should she explain it?
Why not just admit it?
Shen Wenji gritted his teeth, imitated the eldest brother's romantic tone, and forced a playful smile: "Oh, excuse me! We are all men, these romantic matters... those who understand will understand, why bother to say more?"
The book said that love between men and women is normal, so she didn't believe that Xie Yunqing was really some innocent little white flower.
But she made a wrong bet. Xie Yunqing glanced at her indifferently, and his thin lips parted as he uttered cold and ruthless words: "Brother Shen, you are wrong. I, Xie, am a clean and single person. I really don't understand what you mean by this romantic affair. Please explain clearly."
Shen Wenji: “…” He hit a wall.
At this point, he could only bite the bullet and continue making up stories: "Well, I went to Zuihualou on a whim last night. I was drunk and had a lot of fun, so I might have accidentally left it there."
Xie Yunqing's cold expression paused, and he raised his eyebrows slightly.
You little liar, you never tell the truth.
He had already instructed the spies at Zuihualou to report immediately if Shen Wenji set foot there. Last night was calm, so she didn't go there at all.
It seems that he really misunderstood. With Shen Wenji's character, if that person really existed, she would never defame herself by making up stories even if she didn't say anything.
Not wanting to expose her clumsy tricks, Xie Yunqing raised the corners of his lips with a half-smile and continued, "Oh? Zuihualou? That sounds interesting. Will Wen Ji take me there to see it later?"
"No, no, no!" Shen Wenji waved his hands hurriedly, shaking his head like a rattle, "I walked in by mistake, it was purely a mistake! That place is smoky and filthy, there's no fun in it, I'm never going there again."
Let Xie Yunqing, a cold and aloof immortal, go to a brothel with her? The scene was too horrifying, and she got goosebumps just thinking about it.
"Well... I have something urgent to attend to. Thank you, Immortal Lord, please do as you please. I'll take my leave now."
Among the thirty-six strategies, running away is the best one.
I don’t know how many times Shen Wenji has fled in panic.
It is true that we should avoid lying and cheating, otherwise we will be guilty.

"Master, are we really going to allow a disciple of the Tianxuan Sect to run rampant like this?" Elder Zhang frowned, worried. "This boy's cultivation is unfathomable. I'm afraid it will be detrimental to the Hehuan Sect!"
"Don't worry, that kid has other intentions." Shen Wenji's mother calmly poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of Elder Zhang, saying, "Try it. This is the best spiritual tea in the capital. He brought it here specially, under the guise of a visit. What can I say?"
"But aren't you afraid that he has ulterior motives towards the Young Sect Master..."
My mother raised her eyebrows and said mischievously, "Susu said herself that she likes him, and she even gave me a deadline of one week to win him over. Even if he really has some intentions, I think who would suffer first?"
"Master, aren't you guys being unreasonable? How can you make a bet on something like this?"
"Hmph!" Mother put down the teacup and raised her delicate hand to stop Elder Zhang from speaking. With unquestionable dignity, she said, "I've made up my mind. No need to persuade me. This is to give Susu a chance to pursue what she wants. If it works, everyone will be happy. If not..."
A hint of deep meaning flashed across the mother's eyes: "It would be better to let her give up this idea completely and accept my arrangements quietly."
Slowing down her tone, she looked at Elder Zhang and instructed, "I've prepared a surprise for them for tomorrow's Lantern Festival. It's a perfect opportunity to test the effectiveness of the Hehuan Sect's newly developed aphrodisiac. Oh, and take the best piece of that recently arrived special fabric and whip up a dress for Susu overnight."
"By the way, give her this letter as well."
The author has something to say:
----------------------
One day after they were together, Xiao Xie learned about the existence of the Love Shell.
The thought that the red marks that made him so angry were actually caused by a shell? [Clown][Clown][Clown]
That night, Susu enjoyed an incredibly luxurious shellfish feast: spicy stir-fried clams, steamed scallops with garlic vermicelli, and salt-baked razor clams...
Susu looked at the chef Xiao Xie and asked tentatively: What are you doing... ?
Xiao Xie gnashed his teeth: If I can't eat the love shell, can't I kill all nine generations of his family?
Susu: Phew...the shells also suffered an unexpected disaster.
Xiao Xie: What are you laughing at? I've also caught the Love Shell. Why don't we try out its proper use tonight? How about we keep going until it tires itself out?
