The appearance of the venomous creature seemed to bring a slight convenience to Leng Yue's mission, but of course, it was only a mission.
Shen and Qianchen don't get along at all. Shen hates Qianchen's face, and Qianchen hates Shen's intimacy with Lengyue. The two are constantly competing and wary of each other. And here they are again.
"Master, how about going out for a walk? Let me tell you, it's always good for plants to get plenty of sunshine. Want to give it a try?" Qing sat next to Leng Yue, constantly tempting her.
Leng Yue didn't even blink, sitting quietly in meditation on the palm-leaf fan. Although what Shen said wasn't entirely unreasonable—for plants, photosynthesis is always beneficial for growth—it was still a valid point.
But the key point is that this isn't the first time this guy has said something like that, and Leng Yue has tried it before. In the end, besides getting a tan, it didn't do anything to Leng Yue.
Leng Yue already knew that sunbathing was ineffective for her at that time. Because of this, Qian Chen ridiculed her, mocking her for believing the words of primitive people! Of course, the primitive people he was referring to were the *qi*.
Leng Yue was furious, and her face darkened even more. At that moment, Shi Ying was clever; afraid of being scolded by Leng Yue, she immediately hid.
But Leng Yue's skin had just regained its fair complexion when Ying immediately appeared. He hovered around her all day, like a kidnapper trying to coax her out every day. He was incredibly lazy, not even bothering to come up with a different excuse. How convenient!
Seeing that Leng Yue remained silent, Ying still shamelessly said, "Master, open your eyes and look at me! I really want to go out and play with you!"
Leng Yue has recently cultivated a higher level of self-control, and no matter what the bird says in her ear, she treats it as if it were a fly buzzing around and completely ignores it.
But Qianchen was unhappy. He hated it when Qingli was too close to Lengyue. "Get out of my way! A grown man like you hanging around a girl all day long, have you no shame?"
As Qianchen spoke, he stood in front of Lengyue, separating her from him.
"Why should I be embarrassed? I am my master's pet! And you, you are the grown man, spending all your time by your master's side, I don't know what your intentions are?" Yun argued vehemently, feeling resentful at being blocked outside.
Qian Chen said calmly, "We are a legally engaged couple, and we'll be officially married in a few days. Everyone in Suxian Mountain knows about this!"
He choked with anger, "Hmph! If you're unmarried, then you're not married yet. I think you're shameless!"
"No matter what, I have the right to be with the woman I love. What's wrong with being shameless? Being together like this shows that we have a good relationship. What about you?" Qianchen continued to retort, "Although you used to be Yueyue's pet, you're not anymore, and the people of Suxian Mountain don't even know who you are now. Your constant clinging to Yueyue only adds to her burden and might even ruin her reputation. I think you're the one with ulterior motives all along, aren't you?"
Smoked speechlessly by Qian Chen's words, but still unconvinced, she stubbornly insisted, "I didn't! I am loyal to my master, as clear as day! You...you shouldn't be making false accusations here!"
Qian Chen didn't speak again, only making a gesture of "do as you please." He glanced at Leng Yue, realizing she hadn't looked at him once, and left in disappointment.
After Shen left, Qianchen spoke up, "Stop pretending, he's already gone."
Leng Yue climbed up from the palm-leaf fan and sat down at the table in a Beijing slouch. "I'm exhausted! How can he be so persistent? He really has a lot of willpower, coming every single day. I'm tired even if he's not!"
Leng Yue complained to Qian Chen with a bitter face. Qian Chen reached out and poured her a glass of water, saying, "Alright, drink some water to calm your nerves."
"You too, why don't you just talk to him clearly? Why do you have to hide from him like a thief? What are you afraid of?" Qianchen said, picking up his teacup and taking a sip himself.
"I don't know, but I'm really bad at handling this kind of relationship. And he's always talking about being my pet, which I'm really not used to." Leng Yue looked at the boy with the face of a teenager, using words like "pet owner," and couldn't help but get goosebumps.
"You really are something," Qianchen shook his head, "Everyone else likes young, cute guys and stuff, why do you avoid them like the plague?"
Qian Chen had to admit, Ying was quite handsome. He was dashing with a touch of childishness, and would even act cute and charming towards Leng Yue. He kept calling her "Master," and in modern society, he'd be a heartthrob or at least a heartbreaker. He'd definitely have no shortage of devoted fans, both mothers and aunties, as well as various girlfriends.
However, Leng Yue didn't seem to care about this at all. In fact, Qian Chen sometimes wondered if Leng Yue was a normal girl.
"Forget it, I don't like grown men who dawdle around, and they're not even planning to raise a son!" Leng Yue retorted with a blank face.
"What if you happen to travel to a world of handsome men or a world where women reign supreme next time?" Qianchen teased.
Leng Yue frowned, "If you're around, I'll come find you and use you as a shield. If you're not around..."
"What will we do without me?" Qian Chen was originally teasing Leng Yue, but after hearing Leng Yue's answer, he started to take it seriously.
Leng Yue thought about it seriously, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't look for anyone else."
"Why?" Qianchen looked at Lengyue seriously. "Am I really that good? So good that you only have eyes for me?"
It wasn't that Qianchen didn't trust Lengyue, but rather that he had always known that feelings were both the strongest and the most fragile thing in the world.
Feelings are invisible and intangible; they are merely a sensation in the heart. But this feeling is strange. Sometimes it can last a lifetime, a bond stronger than gold. But other times, it can vanish in an instant, leaving one as a complete stranger.
Qianchen knew that Leng Yue's feelings for him wouldn't last, but why was he so certain? To be honest, he wasn't always truly confident in himself. Sometimes he even doubted whether what he and Leng Yue shared was genuine love.
Leng Yue didn't hesitate, "Who else could it be but you? Why change again?"
Qianchen felt a deep well of emotion, as if something was about to overflow. Moved, she held Lengyue's hand and gazed at her tenderly.
Leng Yue was somewhat confused; she didn't understand why Qian Chen had suddenly become so moved. As a result, she didn't finish her sentence. What she actually wanted to say was that she was afraid of causing trouble!
Actually, Leng Yue didn't think Qian Chen was that great; sometimes, she even felt a bit conflicted. Sometimes she really wanted to be with Qian Chen, but other times she enjoyed spending time alone with him, as long as she knew where he was.
However, if Qianchen were to leave on his own initiative one day, Leng Yue thought she would be sad, but she wouldn't look for anyone else. There was no particular reason; she just found it troublesome.
However, seeing Qianchen so happy, Lengyue still didn't say anything. Why must she say it? A beautiful misunderstanding isn't so bad.
While Leng Yue and Qian Chen enjoyed a peaceful and idyllic life, other parts of Su Xian Mountain were brewing turbulent undercurrents. Unbeknownst to Leng Yue and the others, a storm was brewing on Su Xian Mountain!
