Chapter 70 Chapter 70 She only likes him when he is angry.
"What do you mean?"
The mountain fog was thick, clinging to the skin, bringing a damp and cold feeling that made people irritable and uneasy.
She was a little impatient, "Why are you here?"
Li Xuanbai: "After stepping down, she went and beat up that bitch. After that, her maid cried and said she didn't want to go to Wolong Temple anymore, and went straight back to her room. I knew that after she had hurt me, she would be next, so she came right after me."
It turned out to be someone sent by Heng Huang. Nan Qiong Shuang lowered her eyes and smiled.
"What? You want to help me now? Who asked you to come?"
"What do you mean by 'who asked me to come?' If something happens to you, is it wrong for me to come and check it out?"
Nan Qiong Shuang smiled without saying a word, glanced at him coldly, turned back, and walked away quickly.
Just now, Yi Haichuan wanted to stay with her here, but was kicked away by Li Xuanbai. Now he has probably gone back to find Gu Huaijin to report.
If she hadn't gotten rid of Li Xuanbai earlier, and if she had been caught by Gu Huaijin, she would have been helpless tonight.
She said, "In that case, I'm going back. How do I get back to Muxueyuan from here?"
"What do you mean?" His tone was extremely unfriendly. He directly grabbed her arm and did not allow her to leave.
Li Xuanbai was much taller than her, and his aura was unstoppable. When he questioned her with his eyelashes pressed down, even the bright little earrings could almost hurt her.
Looking at his unfriendly expression, Nan Qiong Shuang smiled scornfully.
"What do I mean?" she squinted her eyes. "How dare you ask?"
"What am I afraid to ask? Explain yourself clearly today." Li Xuanbai raised his foot, not stepping in front of her, refusing to let her take another step forward. "Do you dare to help that guy named Gu?"
"I helped that Gu guy? You say that as if you helped me." She laughed. "You even dared to wave the beads at my face. I didn't help him kill you, which was already a special favor."
"Don't talk to me like that." Li Xuanbai hugged his shoulders and leaned against a nearby pillar. "I was just trying to trick him. How could I really hurt you?"
"You can hold the beads and dangle them over my nose without hurting me?" She laughed. "The beads are right in front of me, but you didn't hurt me. Should I thank you?"
She stepped over his legs that were blocking her way and took a few quick steps. Her footsteps were muffled as she stepped on the wooden corridor covered with a layer of water droplets.
"Come back!" Behind her, Li Xuanbai caught up with her in a few steps and grabbed her arm again.
She twisted her arm and shook it off in an instant.
"Jiaojiao!" Li Xuanbai followed closely.
Li Xuanbai never seemed to call her by that name. If he did, it was always "Chu Jiaojiao," a semi-teasing, semi-provocative name.
She glanced coldly at the person behind her and ignored him.
"Where are you going?" He held her arm again.
"What does it have to do with you?" She was extremely impatient. "Where am I going? Who's waiting for me? Can't you guess?"
Li Xuanbai looked at her partiality that she didn't even bother to hide, and was shocked and unwilling for a moment. His chest rose and fell several times, but he finally endured it.
He laughed, "Are you angry? I didn't help you today, and I even used you to trick him, so you're angry?"
She pushed him away again and just walked forward.
"Okay—I'm sorry." Li Xuanbai dragged her out, "Don't be angry, Jiaojiao."
"roll."
Li Xuanbai snorted, then laughed in anger. "Your attitude... do you know that you're the first person I've ever apologized to in my life?"
"So what?" She turned around and laughed, "It only proves that you are a terrible person, not that your apology is worth cherishing."
Li Xuanbai was speechless for a moment. He didn't know what to say to the man who usually cursed Heng Huang Heng Qingnan like a machine gun.
However, when she was really angry, her whole body was like a thin ice blade engraved with frost patterns, crystal clear, cold, and heartless, so sharp that it would draw blood if touched, and it was not to be touched.
She is so beautiful that you can't look at her directly.
He was distracted for a moment and couldn't help but stretch out his fingers and move her small earrings.
She opened it with her hand with a "snap".
"Get lost!" She sneered. "Don't you think you can use anyone but yourself? Don't you care about anyone else's feelings except your own? It doesn't matter to you whether others live or die, except for your own?"
"If that's the case, why are you still pretending here? How dare you come to me and ask for an explanation?"
Li Xuanbai put on a carefree smile, lowered his head and thought for a while, and when he raised his head again, he looked lazy and submissive.
"Don't be angry, it's my fault." He brushed her hair, "I didn't consider your feelings today."
"Today?" She emphasized the word, "It's not just today. You simply don't consider other people's feelings. Not to mention today, you won't even consider me tomorrow, next year, or the year after."
Li Xuanbai laughed angrily when he heard her words. "Yes, you are right. But Chu Jiaojiao," his tone suddenly became sinister, "—Aren't you the same as me?"
"If it were you, would you risk ruining your own good deeds to save me?"
"If it were you, and you could implicate me in this, you would do it for your own good. Would you not do it?"
"If it were you, and you could achieve your own goals by using me, would you not use me?"
These three questions made Nan Qiong Shuang stand there in a daze, without answering for a long time.
After a long time, she found it a little funny that it didn't seem to be the case.
If you dig deep into the hearts of her and Li Xuanbai, you will find that they are exactly the same.
This was indeed quite interesting, and Nan Qiong Shuang laughed out loud immediately.
Li Xuanbai smiled when he saw her reaction. He didn't seem annoyed. He put his hands on his hips and said, "Which of us two is a good person? Who is looking down on who?"
Two evil people who only know each other well, understand each other with just one glance. No matter how many people are around them except each other, they will not reveal their true colors or give a single bit of sincerity.
You know what, it sounds like it really is a bit of fate.
How does he understand her so well?
"Yes," she didn't want to let him go easily, but this sudden discovery was so funny that she couldn't help laughing, "But I never said I loved you."
"Love?" Li Xuanbai laughed. "That word is too strong. I don't need it. I just need a little affection."
He raised an eyebrow, his eyes as intriguing as a deep pool in a dense forest, so deep that you couldn't see the bottom.
"do you like me?"
Nan Qiong Shuang met that gaze, smiled lazily, and lowered her eyelashes in a lack of interest.
"You want me to like you?" she asked.
Li Xuanbai responded straightforwardly: "Yes."
She laughed out loud, "So, tell me, who likes who between us?"
Li Xuanbai was silent for a moment, and suddenly became like an angry but patient lion.
"Not at all?"
She didn't answer, but just smiled, reached out her hand, and slowly rubbed his lips.
A pair of eyes, smiling deeply, knowing that it is offensive but still wanton, a kind of fearlessness that is accustomed to it.
——Her usual kind of intimate provocation.
Li Xuanbai only felt his solar plexus jump twice.
Damn it, she really made me suffer and put me in such a passive position now.
He grabbed her arms and held her in front of him, cupped her face, lowered his eyelashes and kissed her lips.
She didn't say anything, just smiled and closed her eyes.
But the second before her lips got close, he froze.
Nan Qiong Shuang's lips were curled up in a good mood, and her lips were pulled to the sides, forming a sinister and charming arc.
A small, loose net bag hung from his fingertips, and his arms stretched out, reaching over the railing and above the cold mountain spring.
The sound of water gurgling was heard, and some dewdrops formed by mist hung on her eyelashes, but her eyes were neither timid nor weak. She glanced at him with interest and leisure, and raised her eyebrows.
That small net bag was made temporarily with her spider silk.
——Inside, round and shining, were all his precious natal beads.
She looked into his eyes that were filled with murderous intent and laughed in surprise, "You all know I'm a villain, so why are you still so defenseless?"
She raised her eyebrows, leaned close to his ear, and whispered:
"Could it be left for me?"
Li Xuanbai couldn't utter a word for a moment.
But she could tell without a single word that he wanted to eat her alive.
What a coincidence.
She only liked it when he was angry.
Are they even the same in this regard?
She traced circles on his heaving chest with her index finger, as if tickling him. "Yeah, I'm not a good person. So, even if we're the same kind, how can you expect me to empathize with you?"
"Since we are the same kind, you should understand this best." She leaned under his chin, and his angry breath brushed against the top of her head, which could be called a gust of wind. She laughed even harder, raised her eyes, and met his downcast eyes that were on the verge of rage:
"We only think about ourselves. No matter if we are the same kind or not—"
"——You made me unhappy today, so you have to pay me back."
After he finished speaking, he withdrew his fingertips, and the small net bag fell straight down in an instant.
Li Xuanbai stepped over to the railing, opened his palm, and sneered, "You don't think—"
Nan Qiong Shuang raised her hand and immediately launched a hidden weapon, leaving only an afterimage. It knocked the small net bag, which had barely risen a few inches, down and continued to fall. "You don't think—I don't know that you can control the pearl, do you?"
With a splash, the natal pearl fell into the water.
Li Xuanbai's expression suddenly became as ugly as if a storm was about to come.
She puffed her cheeks in grievance, "Oh, it fell. Go pick it up! If you don't pick it up, it will run away."
He didn't speak, but all his muscles were tense, his teeth were clenched, and his jaw was stretched into a straight line, like a beast on the verge of a rampage.
With his temper and when he gets so angry, everyone would be afraid of him.
Except her.
Nan Qiongshuang extended an index finger and scraped it along his chin with satisfaction, complacency, ambiguity and contempt, touching his taut jawline, and finally, openly pressing it against his soft lips.
"You know, I don't like you normally."
She lowered her eyes as she spoke, her eyes wild and vicious, like a snow demon that was running rampant in a blizzard.
"But, only at times like this, when you're angry..."
She raised her eyes, a playful look in them, and chuckled:
“…I would like it.”
Li Xuanbai lowered his eyes and felt that although his breathing was a little faster, his mind was still calm.
——He was so calm that he realized very clearly that if he didn't teach the person in front of him a lesson, she would continue to take advantage of him again and again in the future.
The veins in his temples were throbbing, but he smiled. He pushed the man against the pillar, not allowing him to resist, pinched his neck, and kissed him.
——After hearing Yi Haichuan’s report, Gu Huaijin hurried over from Bodhi Pavilion and saw this scene.
