Ye Xiruo skillfully used her mental power to take out the roasted chestnuts and place them in a pre-prepared bowl. Then, she happily carried the bowl to the edge of the cold pool.
"Brother Xiu Qi, I just roasted some chestnuts. You can try some after you finish your cultivation." Then he walked away without looking back.
Xiu Qiyu almost coughed up blood. What was Xiao Yezi thinking?
In an instant, countless cracks appeared on the thick ice layer above the icy pool, turning it into countless ice blocks that sank into the pool.
Xiu Qiyu emerged from the icy pool, a snow-white robe instantly draped over his body, concealing his perfect figure that made countless men envious and women mad.
If Ye Xi were here, he would definitely spit out a mouthful of blood. What a huge loss! What a huge loss!
Xiu Qiyu's gaze fell on the plate of fragrant roasted chestnuts. Xiao Yezi was bribing him! Xiu Qiyu smiled faintly. That smile, like a pure and flawless ice lotus blooming beneath a layer of ice, was truly captivating. But did Xiao Yezi think that was enough?
Xiu Qiyu walked barefoot step by step toward the medicinal field. From behind, he looked like a noble and holy immortal master, if one ignored the steaming roasted chestnuts in his hand.
Ye Xiruo was focused on refining pills and didn't notice Xiu Qiyu's arrival at all.
So, Xiu Qiyu sat down directly, watching Ye Xiruo refine pills while eating hot roasted chestnuts. Naturally, her movements remained incredibly elegant, a sight to behold.
After Ye Xiruo finished refining one batch of pills, she was about to refine the second batch when she suddenly caught sight of the white figure. She immediately threw away the pill refining furnace in her hand and ran towards Xiu Qiyu.
"Brother Xiu Qi, you've finished your cultivation."
"Hmm." Xiu Qiyu replied indifferently and continued eating chestnuts, not even glancing at Ye Xiruo.
Ye Xiruo almost spat out a mouthful of blood; Brother Xiu Qi's acting skills were truly something else.
"Brother Xiuqi, I didn't mean to. I accidentally fell asleep last night. I promise it won't happen again."
"Am I angry? When? How come I didn't know?" What's with this aloof and arrogant god-like demeanor? Ye Xiruo was speechless with anger.
"Since you're not angry, then you can eat slowly! I'm going to refine pills." Ye Xiruo also put on a goddess-like air, awkward, awkward, hmph.
Xiu Qiyu grabbed Ye Xiruo's sleeve: "There's no rush to refine pills. Try the chestnuts you roasted yourself."
"I've already eaten, Brother Xiu Qi, you should eat by yourself!" she said angrily.
Xiu Qiyu stretched out her hand, holding several peeled, golden-yellow roasted chestnuts in her palm: "Really not going to get some?"
"Then I'll reluctantly eat a little!"
Ye Xiruo took the chestnut with feigned modesty and slowly began to eat it. As soon as it entered her mouth, a sweet and glutinous flavor spread. Ye Xiruo's eyes immediately lit up.
"Is it tasty?"
"Mmm, it's delicious."
Xiu Qiyu continued peeling roasted chestnuts for Ye Xiruo and thoughtfully poured her a glass of water: "Eat slowly, drink some water first."
"Okay." Ye Xiruo seemed to realize that she had gotten too engrossed in eating and had forgotten that she was currently being difficult and causing trouble.
What a blunder! What a blunder!
"Brother Xiuqi, don't worry about me, you eat too, I'll continue cooking after you finish."
"No need. What I care about has never been this food, but you. I know, I'm in a lot of pain here." Xiu Qiyu pointed to her chest, her expression pained.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault. I just don't know where to begin. My past is shameful, and I can hardly face myself. I don't want Brother Xiuqi to see me like that, and I'm afraid he'll despise me for it. But running away won't solve anything, and I'll have to face it eventually. I was just thinking about ending this as soon as possible, but I didn't expect to hurt Brother Xiuqi. I'm so sorry, so sorry. Am I really useless?"
"The only person I care about has always been you. I don't care what others say. There's only one person in my eyes. I just feel heartache. I also worry that if Xiaoyezi faces that person again, she'll lose her composure and get hurt again. That's something I can't bear. Do you understand?"
“I’ve hated that person for so many years, and I was prepared for him to lose his temper for a while. He has to pay the price. Over the years, I’ve struggled and regretted every moment. Why did I fall in love with such a person, causing the destruction of my entire family, and in the end, costing me and my child’s lives? I really hate myself. The baby was so small, not even born, and it died forever.”
Ye Xiruo was emotionally devastated. These things had been weighing on her heart for so many years, and today she was finally able to vent them freely, which made her feel much better.
Am I really that useless?
Xiu Qiyu held Ye Xiruo quietly, as if he wanted to meld her into his soul and his very bones, with such force.
"I'm here for you. I'll be there for you through those unbearable past times. Don't worry too much. We're together now. Your problems are my problems. It's my fault that I didn't notice your worries all these years and let you suffer alone for so long. I won't do it again, I won't."
Sure enough, there was such a big secret behind this. If Xiao Yezi hadn't told him in person, he might never have known these secrets in his entire life. Feng Yi, this person can't die too easily. He must be made to suffer a fate worse than death.
"Brother Xiuqi, this is my biggest secret."
"I'm glad you're honest. With me here, I won't let anyone hurt you in the future."
"Me too. Don't forget, our lives are already closely intertwined. We'll live and die together, and never abandon each other."
"To live and die together, to never abandon each other."
Having spent so much time together, they had already deeply imprinted each other in their minds. Xiu Qiyu's kisses fell repeatedly on Ye Xiruo's face and forehead, finally landing tenderly on her pale rose-colored lips.
The two figures, viewed from behind, exuded warmth.
"Brother Xiu Qi, thank you."
"Fool, never say thank you to me."
“Alright. Those things are in the past. I am not a god and cannot change the flow of time. All I can do is kill everyone involved in those three murders and pay tribute to them. I have now found my own happiness and will definitely live a good life.”
"Okay, let's go out first! It's already daytime."
"Okay." Ye Xiruo took a sip of spiritual water, restored her eyes to normal, and then she and Xiu Qiyu flashed away from the space.
How about I make some chestnut porridge this morning? Brother Xiuqi will definitely like it.
