Chapter 85 Stealing a Kiss from a Top Boss
Xi'er had already figured it out: the handsome man in front of her was suffering from a cold ailment, and the Purification Seal was not the right treatment, so she switched to the Spring Return Seal.
The Spring Return Seal is a seal cast by the Holy Maiden over the vast soil during the spring plowing season of the Holy Witch Clan.
The main function of this mudra is to thaw the soil that has frozen solid in winter, so that seeds can be sown, take root, and germinate successfully.
It carries endless warmth and boundless vitality. She had used it on seriously injured patients in the past to help them maintain body temperature and restore bodily functions.
At this moment, as the Spring Return Dharma Seal entered Ye Tanji's body, his curled-up body finally relaxed.
In her dream, he smiled contentedly, and that smile made Xi'er's little heart pound.
How can there be such a beautiful smile in this world?
She had always seen the phrase "femme fatale" in storybooks, but the man in front of her reminded her of another phrase—"femme fatale."
Xi'er, a fan of good looks, was touched by the extremely beautiful smile in front of her. The man's handsome face gradually magnified in front of her, becoming clearer and clearer.
Everything around her seemed to become a blurred backdrop; she could only see this beautiful face.
At that moment, she recalled a scene she had inadvertently witnessed when she was a child, where her father was embracing and kissing her mother passionately.
At that time, she didn't understand why kissing the lips was necessary when a kiss on the cheek could express intimacy.
As she grew older, she came to understand that this kind of kiss was a unique way for couples to express their feelings.
But she still didn't understand how this kind of kiss was different from a kiss on the cheek.
Until this moment, she looked at the pale lips of the man in front of her, which slowly turned rosy as his body warmed up.
The color of her lips wasn't vibrant, but it shimmered with a subtle pearlescent sheen, so beautiful that she forgot to breathe.
She suddenly had an urge to kiss it.
Xi'er has always been a decisive person; if she has an idea, she will do it.
She decisively bent down, cupped the man's face in her hands, and kissed his lips.
His lips were slightly cool, but very soft.
From childhood to adulthood, Xi'er's kisses were always just light, fleeting ones.
But at this moment, she was a little unwilling to give up; she wanted to taste the flavor of his lips.
So she stuck out the tip of her tongue and gently licked it.
When intimate partners kiss each other on the lips, they always kiss again and again, reluctant to let go.
So she thought it must be because her partner's lips tasted very good, like the delicious food in her storage ring.
At that moment, she tasted the flavor of his lips—a faint, sweet taste, tinged with the coolness of the night.
She had already used the Rejuvenation Seal on him, so why hadn't his lips warmed up yet?
While thinking about his lips, Xi'er was also busy continuing to release the Rejuvenation Seal, her mind a jumbled mess.
The person in their sleep unconsciously opened their mouth and shifted restlessly, as if searching for something.
Unable to find what he wanted, his chest began to heave violently, and his hands stretched out haphazardly, trying to grab something.
"Xi'er!" With his exclamation, he suddenly opened his eyes and sat up abruptly.
When he finally saw the girl beside him clearly, his scattered gaze slowly focused on her face.
Her face had changed, but her scent was still so familiar that it broke his heart.
After a while, he finally calmed down and put on a gentle look.
"How old are you this year?" Ye Tanji finally spoke, but as soon as the words left his mouth, he couldn't help but want to facepalm.
He had thought countless times about what his first words would be when he met her again.
But when she actually stood in front of him, he was so nervous that it felt like the whole world was about to explode, and he had no idea what to say.
Look at what he said, does she think he's an idiot?
After all, with his cultivation level, he could tell her bone age at a glance—she had just turned seventeen.
Realizing his mistake, he quickly tried to cover it up: "Um, I actually meant to ask, what's your name?"
Xi'er: ...
This guy is really crazy. He just called out to Xi'er, but now he's asking her what her name is.
However, considering he was a patient, she couldn't bring herself to argue with him.
“Senior, my name is Bai Xi, and I just turned seventeen last month,” Xi’er replied earnestly.
When dealing with someone who is mentally unstable, you need to communicate with them using the same serious attitude you would use with a normal person; this will make it easier to gain their approval.
These were all recorded in psychology books that Panda's brother had shown her.
Xi'er only has theoretical knowledge; this is the first time she has applied it in practice, and she doesn't know if it will work.
"Senior? You call me senior? Hahaha! Am I that old?"
Yes, I am really, really old. I have lived alone in this world for a full 30,000 years since you left.
In these 30,000 years, I have been reincarnated 30 times with my memories intact. Each time, I gritted my teeth and persevered, hoping to find you.
But I can't find you no matter what I do. Holding on until I'm a thousand years old is the limit of what I can endure.
Therefore, every thousand years I will choose to end my own life and wait for the next reincarnation.
This time, I've reached my limit, but a voice in my heart tells me that if I just hold on a little longer, I'll be able to wait for you.
I never imagined that after three more months of waiting, I would actually see you! *sobs*
The man's alternating laughter and tears further confirmed Xi'er's initial judgment.
He really is a mental patient!
Considering how handsome he is, she'll ask Uncle Bo to prepare a special medicine for him, which might cure him.
"Um, senior, may I ask how I should address you?" Xi'er asked cautiously.
The reason he is called senior is because his cultivation is unfathomable, and it is obvious that he must be very old.
Even though he has a young and handsome face.
His gaze was as deep as a frozen pool, but Xi'er could clearly sense that deep within that pool lay countless suppressed, intense emotions, like a volcano about to erupt.
The man's chest heaved violently again, but after a while, he calmed down once more.
“My name is Ye Tanji. You can call me Brother Ye Tan or Brother Ji,” he said, trying to be as gentle as possible.
Xi'er: ...
Can't you be a decent human being? Listen to what you've said.
He's clearly much older than Uncle Bo, yet he has the nerve to ask her to call him "brother"?
"Hehe! Senior is joking. Your name, when put together, should be—Night Pool Silent?"
"Ah? Ye Tanji! You, you, you are Ye Tanji, the master of Ye Tan Palace?!"
Xi'er belatedly realized that the handsome man in front of her was the most mysterious top boss in this world—Ye Tanji!
And she actually managed to steal a kiss from him while he was fast asleep!
Mom, Dad, Uncle Bo, help!
