Chapter 94: A Thread of Immortal Red Between the Spiritual Dragons
Lingxiang looked at Long Qi, but the expression on her face was unreadable.
"You...what are you talking about? How can I accompany you forever? You will have to be on your own in the future, right?"
Before Lingxiang could finish, Long Qi interrupted her.
"I don't want you to be my master! I... I..."
"I……"
"I want to marry you!"
Lingxiang was shocked when she heard this, and stared at Long Qi, forgetting to blink.
"What are you talking about?! I am... I am your master!"
After saying the most difficult words, Long Qi felt relieved, and his mind became active again.
"What master or no master? I don't even remember offering you tea, let alone performing the formalities of becoming your disciple. Besides, I've seen my body thoroughly, how could you just take advantage of me and walk away like that?!"
Eat it all? When did she eat it?
"What are you talking about? When have I ever seen it..." Lingxiang stopped talking halfway.
she……
she……
She seemed to have really seen it!
Lingxiang blushed and stiffened her neck as she said, "So what if I've seen it? I've seen countless other people's bodies since I was a child. Do I have to bear the consequences? Besides, in front of the doctor, it's just white meat, no different from the meat sold at the butcher stalls in the market!"
"Of course it's different," Long Qi smiled softly, "My flesh is not white." Then he leaned towards Lingxiang suddenly.
Looking at the approaching Long Qi, Lingxiang felt like a rabbit with its ears caught.
"You...what do you want..."
The word "yang" seemed to be still in her mouth, so Long Qi moved forward and kissed Lingxiang gently on the mouth.
Lingxiang was used to being bossy on weekdays, and she didn't realize that Long Qi was much taller than her. She stood there for a moment, staring with her eyes not knowing where to look.
Prayer lanterns drifted over the river one after another, dappling the vast Guyang River with tiny dots of light. Unseen in the darkness, a pair of lotus lanterns slowly opened their petals, their candles burning peacefully, seemingly unaffected by the gentle breeze. Suddenly, the wick of one of the lotus lanterns sparked, and upon closer inspection, the wicks of the two lanterns were actually two rolled pieces of paper.
At this moment, the red rope tied to the two lamps glowed red, and then disappeared. At this time, a red light flashed under the feet of Lingxiang and Longqi, as if it was tied or entangled.
Looking at the river again, the lotus lanterns have drifted away, but they are still close to each other.
On a tree not far away, there were two people, one sitting and one standing. The one sitting was the injured honeysuckle, and the one standing was naturally Xinyi.
"It seems like you'll have another master-in-law." Xinyi joked.
"Hmph! Same here." Honeysuckle snorted in response, with an inexplicable emotion in her eyes.
Long Qi originally wanted to give it a light peck, but after touching that softness, he wanted more.
Lingxiang finally came to her senses at this time and tried to push Long Qi with all her strength, but Long Qi was much taller than her and she couldn't push him away. She was so anxious that she immediately made a hand gesture and used a magic to push him away.
"You...you...you are a traitor! You are a heretic! You are a madman! You..."
Ling Xiang was breathing heavily and wiping her mouth vigorously from time to time. Although Long Qi was in some pain from the shock of the magic, he interrupted her with a smile, holding his chest:
"Just now he was confused, but now he can talk about it clearly. I guess he is enjoying it."
"You!" Ling Xiang was so angry that her eyes were as big as copper bells: "You are talking nonsense!" Then she turned around and was about to leave.
Seeing her like this, Long Qi hurriedly ran after her and grabbed her.
"You left in such a rage, could it be that you don't want that guqin anymore?"
Lingxiang froze in her tracks upon hearing this. "Right, that's an ancient magical instrument. Even if I can't use it myself, I'd still make a killing if I sold it to someone else." It was all because of that damn Long Qi. She was so angry she almost forgot about it. But the riddle on the Crouching Dragon Lantern was a bit tricky. What was she supposed to do?
Seeing that Lingxiang had her back to him but did not shake off his hand, Long Qi knew that she must be thinking about the riddle and it seemed that she really wanted the Qiuniuqin.
"How about you promise me that if I help you win the prize?"
Lingxiang's face was full of disbelief at first, then she turned around with an expression as if she had heard a huge joke.
"What did you just say? You said you wanted to help me win the prize?"
"That's right!" Long Qi said, nodding very solemnly.
Seeing him like this, Lingxiang burst out laughing, and after a long while she stopped laughing and said:
"Then tell me, how are you going to help me get it? Are you going to steal or rob?"
Of course, robbing is not an option, as it is too blatant. As for stealing, it is not impossible if it is done secretly. After all, I am not a gentleman, just a woman who loves money. What if this zither is of great benefit to my cultivation? So what if I steal it?
Thinking of this, Lingxiang pinched her chin and nodded continuously. Seeing her like this, Long Qi knew that she must have thought that he was going to do those evil things.
"Don't look down on me. Although I, Long Qi, have been hanging around in the streets since I was a child and have done some petty thefts, that was just to survive and have enough food to eat. Now I have no worries about food and clothing, so how could I do such a thing?" Long Qi said with his head raised.
My father taught me since I was young that I must never do anything sneaky or shady, and what I did back then was out of necessity.
Lingxiang was very surprised when she heard this. She didn't expect that Long Qi had such awareness.
"So what you mean is..."
"Of course I solved the mystery and took it away openly."
"Can you answer the riddle?" Lingxiang said, and was so excited that she was about to raise her hand to grab Long Qi's robe, but found that her hand was held tightly by him.
"Of course, as long as you promise to marry you."
Lingxiang was about to break free from Long Qi's hand, but when she heard him say that, she immediately stopped moving.
Although she was a little skeptical that this guy could answer the riddle, she didn't have any other ideas at the moment. Seeing how confident he was, she thought she might as well take a gamble. If he succeeded, it wouldn't be a loss. At most...
At worst...
At worst, just pretend that you were bitten by a dog!
As for marrying him, she would just agree to it for now and discuss other matters after she got the Prison Ox Qin. Anyway, even if she dared to marry him, he might not be able to marry her. Those old men in the sect were not gigolos, so it might not be easy for them to marry her.
Thinking of this, Lingxiang immediately stretched out her hand that Long Qi hadn't grasped and said, "It's a deal!"
Seeing her like this, Long Qi also stretched out his hand and clapped his hands with her.
“No falsehood!”
Then he turned around with a smile and pulled Lingxiang towards the Wolong Lantern.
On a tree not far away, the branches swayed, but the magnolia and honeysuckle disappeared.
