Chapter 405: Heroic Spirit



That "Breaking Miasma Pill" is a great item! Not only does it allow the wearer to break through illusions, it can also be used as a "poison-avoiding bead." Brother Ziqing is going to a place with many poisonous snakes and insects. Bring the "Breaking Miasma Pill" with him, maybe he'll be able to use it.

After being reminded by Xiaoyu, Zhou Yuanyuan started thinking about what to bring for Wen Ziqing.

Xiaoyu felt like crying, but she didn't dare to object. From the vast patch of hallucinogenic grass in the nameless valley, Xiaoyu added a few ingredients she'd treasured, and only just managed to refine three "Miasma-Breaking Pills." In Xiaoyu's past, "Miasma-Breaking Pills" were incredibly rare. Only her master would be so generous as to treat such a high-level elixir as a lowly "Poison-Repelling Pearl."

It seems that the owner herself has not realized that Wen Ziqing has a very high status in her heart! The owner's father is also in the army, but the owner did not think of equipping her father with equipment first, but only thought of Wen Ziqing, the silly boy.

Zhou Yuanyuan was oblivious to Xiaoyu's complaints. The more she thought about it, the happier she felt. If Xiaoyu hadn't been disembodied, she'd have wanted to hug him and give him a kiss. She'd originally thought she was watching Wen Ziqing go to his death with no way to stop him, but now it seemed she could still find a way to fully arm him.

With the jade talisman and the "Miasma-Breaking Pill," Wen Ziqing's basic safety was guaranteed. Zhou Yuanyuan's heart, having gone from anxiety to a sudden sense of relief, had been beating like crazy, and now it was still beating with joy.

Zhou Yuanyuan pretended not to hear Xiaoyu's "little lover." Humph! Xiaoyu, when she's not in tune, dares to make any joke. She and Wen Ziqing weren't what Xiaoyu thought they were; they were family, okay?

Xiaoyu rolled her eyes in Zhou Yuanyuan's sea of consciousness, if it had eyes. No wonder the saying goes, "Girls grow up and can't be kept at home." Compared to the lifeless Zhou Yuanyuan just now, her current energetic master is much more adorable.

With Xiaoyu as her support, Zhou Yuanyuan regained her confidence. At this moment, she felt a little embarrassed about her temper just now. Over the years, Wen Ziqing has always been by Zhou Yuanyuan's side, silently doing what he thinks should be done for Zhou Yuanyuan, from attending Zhou Yuanyuan's parent-teacher conferences to preparing clothes for Zhou Yuanyuan to wear to school every morning. And what about Zhou Yuanyuan? She gives Wen Ziqing a smile when she thinks of him, and ignores Wen Ziqing when she is upset...

Zhou Yuanyuan opened the door and returned to the living room, where she saw Wen Ziqing quietly washing a large pile of dishes in the kitchen. Over the years, Wen Ziqing had always done this for her, doing so much for her when she couldn't see.

Wen Ziqing looked much more muscular from behind than when they'd first met, and he'd grown considerably taller. Such a nice guy, surely many people would like him? Just like He Jingjing from their class, who, upon seeing Wen Ziqing, followed him like an ant to honey. Zhou Yuanyuan had been giving Wen Ziqing the cold shoulder for the past two years because of He Jingjing's situation.

Wen Ziqing was so lost in thought while working that he didn't notice Zhou Yuanyuan had already left the room. He was deeply annoyed. He wasn't supposed to leave until the next morning, so why hadn't he held back and told her about his departure? Now that he had told her, Zhou Yuanyuan had an extra night to grieve. The thought of Zhou Yuanyuan's tears welling up on Wen Ziqing's face made his heart ache.

Wen Ziqing silently washed and dried the bowl in her hands, untied her apron and walked out of the kitchen. She saw Zhou Yuanyuan, whose face was full of tears just now, now sitting at the table with a smile on her face, holding a piece of jade that Wen Ziqing had just placed on the table and looking at it over and over again.

"Yuanyuan." Seeing that the sadness was gone from the little girl's face, Wen Ziqing's mood also brightened. He didn't like Zhou Yuanyuan crying for him, because that would make Wen Ziqing feel like a jerk.

If Wen Ziqing hadn't been so deeply concerned about Zhou Yuanyuan, he wouldn't have returned. In his previous life, Wen Ziqing learned he was bound for the front lines, telling no one and quietly going to the battlefield alone. Back then, he was alone and free, and even if he died there, no one would shed a single tear for him. In this life, Wen Ziqing is surrounded by many who care about him. No matter where he goes, Zhou Yuanyuan will always be the most profound thought in his heart.

"Brother Ziqing, when are you leaving?" Zhou Yuanyuan felt that Wen Ziqing's mood was very fluctuating at the moment. She wisely did not continue the previous topic, but raised her little face and asked calmly.

"Tomorrow morning." Sure enough, Wen Ziqing's answer was similar to Zhou Yuanyuan's guess.

"Brother Ziqing, let's go out for a walk, okay?" Although Zhou Yuanyuan was asking Wen Ziqing's opinion, the persistence on her face let Wen Ziqing know that she was serious.

Since arriving in Kyoto, Zhou Yuanyuan hadn't been alone with Wen Ziqing for a long time. At this moment, Zhou Yuanyuan suddenly remembered the night six years ago when the two of them had been traveling between Zhaojiagou and Zhoujia Village. Zhou Yuanyuan's legs were short and she couldn't run fast, but Wen Ziqing carried her on his back the entire way, his clothes soaked with sweat, and he never once complained of being tired.

Those days were the most beautiful memories in Zhou Yuanyuan's heart. When did the two of them gradually become distant? No, that wasn't right. When did she gradually become distant from Wen Ziqing? Zhou Yuanyuan wondered.

Perhaps it was the unspeakable fear in her heart? Having lived two lives, Zhou Yuanyuan wasn't unable to understand the tenderness in Wen Ziqing's eyes. She was simply afraid, terrified that the most beautiful and pure beginning for her and Wen Ziqing would end, like the vast majority of couples in real life, in mutual hatred.

Zhou Yuanyuan didn't want to gamble. After experiencing the daily pain of her previous marriage, she had no expectations for marriage at all. She would rather just stand quietly in the distance, silently caring for Wen Ziqing, and didn't want their relationship to go any further.

Wen Ziqing still accompanied Zhou Yuanyuan out for a walk. Although Zhou Yuanyuan was just wandering aimlessly without even saying a word, Wen Ziqing felt very satisfied. It had been a long time since his little girl had been so close to him.

Both of them had their own thoughts, and Xiaoyu was busy carving the jade talisman, so Zhou Yuanyuan and Wen Ziqing didn't notice that behind them, there was a girl with a face full of resentment, who had been following them for more than ten minutes.

Only after seeing Wen Ziqing and Zhou Yuanyuan return to the dormitory building did He Jingjing turn around and go home.
