Chapter 40
In the midst of all the twists and turns, I managed to say something:
“A-Ning.”
"Call me Ziqing."
The person beneath him had their earlobe touched, and their voice trembled slightly:
"Zi...Qing..."
He was originally a banished immortal, but in the face of the alluring Manjushri, his heart was disturbed and he became a demon, refusing to withdraw.
Only at the very end did Li Ziqing forcefully suppress the lust in the corners of his eyes and speak in a hoarse voice:
"Ah Ning, are you willing to stay with me for life?" There was a hint of nervousness in her voice.
Li Ziqing's gaze swept over Ying Ning's lips, his feelings for her already impossible to conceal.
Then she spoke shyly, her eyes misty:
"good."
A generation?
Feng Yingning's life...
It shouldn't be too long...
After all, he died there...
Under your unwavering sword...
*
Although Li Ziqing rarely lost control, after regaining his senses, he carefully took some medicine to reduce swelling and gently applied it to Ying Ning's lips.
A person with this kind of personality must have struggled quite a bit to go from maintaining their bottom line to gradually losing their mind.
......
Today, he couldn't delay any longer due to the invitation from the government officials, so he went out.
Perhaps it was because he received Yingning's promise of a lifetime that day.
Everyone in the mansion could tell that he was in a good mood lately.
They even ate more food than usual.
As soon as Yingning left Li Ziqing's courtyard, she bumped into someone with a familiar figure.
As soon as she saw him, Wen Chaosheng immediately turned to leave.
"Hey, where are you going?"
Yingning chased after him and saw that he looked flustered.
They must have come looking for me, but I never expected to run right into them.
"I..."
"I...I'm fine...I was just wandering around this mansion," he stammered, trying to explain.
Yingning approached and sized him up, then deliberately made a fierce expression.
"Such delicate skin, wandering around here. Could it be that you want to be eaten by a fairy?" The words were laced with laughter, making the scene particularly lively.
"A fairy?"
"You probably want to eat this, right?" Wen Chaosheng looked at her.
Isn't she the enchantress in the manor?
The bite marks on Wen Chaosheng's arm haven't faded yet. These past few days, he's seen those bite marks every time he changes his clothes.
It made him constantly think of her with unease.
She clearly said: Next time I'll be even tougher.
But she hasn't been seen for the past few days.
Today, he couldn't contain himself any longer, so he came here to see if he could bump into her.
Yingning saw through his thoughts and spoke directly:
"You still owe me a pastry."
"If you have some free time right now, I'll take you to the street to buy some."
Wen Chaosheng didn't dare to look Yingning in the eye, but instead turned his gaze away and asked her.
"Okay, let's go then."
The two then left the mansion.
*
The two strolled around the street.
“I heard from Li Ziqing that you are a friend of the Third Prince.” Yingning held the sugar painting that Wen Chaosheng had paid for.
Watching the sugar painting shimmer like glass in the sunlight.
"Yes, I am a friend of the Third Prince."
"What's your name?" Yingning asked.
It was only then that Wen Chaosheng realized she didn't even know her own name.
"Wen Chaosheng".
"My name is Aning."
Yingning took a bite of the sugar painting. The cloyingly sweet sugar gradually melted in her mouth, but it gave her a unique and different feeling.
“I know, your name is Aning.” Wen Chaosheng was wearing a blue robe today, with dark wave patterns on the hem.
Her dark hair was tied up with a hair crown.
Above the hair ornament was a precious pearl of emerald green.
They did have a youthful and spirited air about them.
Wen Chaosheng's gaze involuntarily drifted towards Ying Ning, where he saw her bite into the sugar painting. Her red lips and white teeth reminded him of the day she left him with bite marks.
A sudden flutter in my heart.
"You actually know my name?"
Yingning thought back for a moment and remembered that she had never said her name in the mortal world.
“That day… I heard the Sixth Prince call you that,” Wen Chaosheng said.
"I see."
Seeing that Yingning seemed to have completely forgotten what happened that day, Wen Chaosheng felt inexplicably aggrieved.
He spoke casually:
"Why...why are you living in the same courtyard as the Sixth Prince?"
There was a hint of probing in his words.
"Ziqing? Ziqing saved me. Before I took human form, we lived together."
"oh."
She called the Sixth Prince, Ziqing.
Wen Chaosheng felt a pang of disappointment.
"What's wrong?"
"I was just thinking... what kind of pastries should we buy later?"
Suddenly I realized that I had arrived in this city a little too late.
Let's go there!
Yingning pointed to a pastry shop and pulled Wen Chaosheng along.
After buying the pastries, the two returned the way they came.
On the way back, we happened to come across a group of people riding horses on the street.
"Get out of the way!"
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
The sound of horses' hooves came from behind, and the surrounding crowd scattered to avoid them.
Wen Chaosheng and Ying Ning were in the very middle of the crowd, almost falling over from the jostling, and stumbled into a small alley next to the main street.
"careful."
Wen Chaosheng immediately placed his arm between Ying Ning's head and the stone wall, worried that she might get hurt.
The people behind were still pushing and shoving.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Wen Chaosheng immediately pulled Ying Ning over.
He placed Yingning safely between his chest and the wall, completely unaware that his robes had loosened slightly due to his earlier movements.
Until the sounds of the group of horsemen had faded into the distance.
The people in the alley slowly walked out.
Wen Chaosheng breathed a sigh of relief and looked down at Ying Ning in front of him.
Then he saw her pair of bright, phoenix-shaped eyes staring intently at him.
"W-what's wrong?"
Yingning's gaze was so intense it made him feel hot all over. Their bodies were almost touching, and Wen Chaosheng could even feel the heat emanating from her.
"Sheng Sheng, I think I'm hungry."
The single word "Sheng Sheng" seemed to ignite Wen Chaosheng's passion.
His face flushed red with embarrassment, and for a moment he was caught off guard and somewhat confused.
Are you hungry?
"Would you like some pastries?"
She shook her head and said:
"I don't want to eat pastries."
Wen Chaosheng asked with concern, "Shall I go buy you something else?"
"don't want."
"What would you like to eat?"
Ying Ning tilted her head slightly, which was right at the neckline that Wen Chaosheng hadn't noticed because he was protecting her.
"I want to eat..."
“Life”.
The slight upturn at the end of the sentence leaves much to ponder.
Before Wen Chaosheng could react, Yingning pressed herself against him.
My mind went blank for a moment.
He then felt his jade-like bones being tenderly torn apart.
"Hiss..." He cried out in pain.
"It won't hurt, I'll give you a hard bite." She emphasized it again.
The skin and flesh around the collarbone are thin, although it wasn't as strong as the bite I took last time.
But there's a feeling of being held captive.
He could even feel the breath from her lips, a tingling pain and a pleasurable sensation, all intertwined wildly.
He couldn't help but look at the demon that was devouring his soul and flesh.
He has already prepared her meal...
Wen Chaosheng's eyes were gradually consumed by an unknown emotion.
Even though his collarbone was already red, he didn't want to push her away at all.
His fingertips, which were on the stone wall, turned bluish due to the sensitivity and tension of his body.
