His face was very close to hers, and his breath sprayed on her face.

She looked at the young man in front of her and knew clearly what he meant.

In the past, she always comforted herself that this was Xie Changji's possessiveness and had nothing to do with love, but now she couldn't deceive herself no matter what.

She wanted to say something strong, such as asking him why he cared about her, or saying that these things had nothing to do with him, but for some reason, she opened her mouth but couldn't say anything.

Her heart was beating fast and she felt confused and panicked.

She had never seen Xie Changji so stubborn in wanting a result, but she herself didn't know what the result would be.

Xie Changji stared at her, observing her expression, and said, "Is it that difficult?"

"I...I'm going to go see Senior Sister."

She reached out and pushed him away, then walked out the door in a panic.

Xie Changji stood there. He knew he shouldn't ask any further questions, but looking at her running back, he couldn't help himself.

After all, she already knew it, and there was no point in him hiding it.

"What are you hiding from?"

Hua Xiangwan ignored him and continued walking forward. Before she even reached the door, she heard Xie Changji ask from behind her: "I like you, but why do you get so scared?"

These words made Hua Xiangwan freeze.

How did he know that she already knew that he liked her?

"Everything was fine in the illusion, and you clearly wanted me to be with you."

Hearing this, she turned around in surprise and saw Xie Changji standing not far away. The light fell on his jade-like face, and there was some confusion in his eyes: "Why are you hiding from me like this?"

"you……"

Hua Xiangwan looked at him in shock, and it took a long time before she responded: "You remember?!"

When Xie Changji heard this, he inexplicably wanted to laugh.

From the beginning to the end, she was prepared to forget about it once she got out.

She didn't think he would remember it, so she was so presumptuous.

But he just remembered it.

He looked at her calmly: "I remember."

As he spoke, he walked towards her.

"You asked me to call you sister."

When Hua Xiangwan heard this, she felt like she was going to explode.

Her face instantly turned red, but Xie Changji was completely unaware.

"I remember you taught me what like is and what love is."

As he spoke, he walked in front of her. She sensed him approaching and couldn't help but take a step back.

But he had no intention of backing down and kept pressing forward.

"I remember you asked me what would happen to us if nothing happened to Hehuan Palace, and I remember you asked me to accompany you."

"I remember we sent Shen Yichen away together, I remember kissing under the fireworks, I remember us doing it in the alley..."

When Hua Xiangwan heard this, she raised her hand and covered his mouth without waiting for him to say anything, and said anxiously, "Stop talking!"

Xie Changji looked at her calmly, his clear eyes showing calmness, as if he was completely unaware that there was anything wrong with what he said.

Hua Xiangwan didn't dare to look at him and gritted her teeth secretly.

This is the scary thing about blank paper. He has no sense of shame about saying this. To him, this is probably no different from the scriptures and teachings.

He looked at her calmly. Hua Xiangwan's hand was on his lips, carrying her warmth and breath, which eased his sour and anxious heart a little.

He looked at the person in front of him who didn't dare to look him in the face. After a while, Hua Xiangwan came over slowly, and then he slowly let go, pretending to be calm and said, "Don't say anything, I remember."

"Isn't this a bad time?"

Xie Changji was puzzled: "I am with you, and you are very happy."

Hua Xiangwan fell silent. After a while, she whispered, "Xie Changji, life is not just about happiness or sadness. In the fantasy world, I don't have to consider the future..."

"So what future do you need to consider now?"

Xie Changji interrupted her. Hua Xiangwan was startled and suddenly she came to her senses.

She looked at the person in front of her, as if a basin of water was poured over her head. Her heart turned cold and she raised her eyes to look at the young man in front of her.

Noticing Hua Xiangwan's mood change, Xie Changji frowned.

"What are you hiding from me?"

He asked sharply.

These words made Hua Xiangwan feel uneasy, and she subconsciously clenched her fists under her sleeves.

"Xie Changji," she smiled, "Actually, the good things in the fantasy world don't mean anything. It's just that I'm too lonely. All I want is someone to accompany me, but this person," Hua Xiangwan said seriously, "may not necessarily be Xie Changji."

Hearing this, Xie Changji felt as if something sharp had pierced his chest.

In the illusion, she only had one choice, Xie Changji, so she chose him.

But now she is not alone.

There was Wen Shaoqing and Yun Qingxu before, and now there is Xue Zidan. In the future there may be many more people he knows or doesn’t know.

She had too many choices during her two hundred years in the West.

He stared at Hua Xiangwan, speechless.

Hua Xiangwan looked at his expression and felt a little sorry. She lowered her eyes and kindly reminded him, "When you came to the Western Region, I told Kunxuzi very clearly that if you feel guilty towards me and are obsessed with me because of my death, I can help you. If you want to come to the Western Region to find the ghost spirit, I can also help you. The only thing is the relationship," Hua Xiangwan said with a bitter voice, "I'm sorry, I don't have the energy to spare."

"I don't need your response."

"But you want it." Hua Xiangwan raised her eyes, "Just like I said before, my love for you has nothing to do with you, and I don't need your response, but after a long time, I will still be sad. Profiting from your friendship is profit, and I can't afford the price you want, so I owe you."

"I don't care."

Xie Changji stared at her. He controlled his emotions and tried to give in: "I don't want anything. Just let me stay by your side and let me accompany you alone."

Hua Xiangwan was speechless for a moment. She looked at him quietly. After a while, she turned her head away and said, "You go to sleep first. I'll go get a room next door."

They had never slept in separate rooms since they came to the Western Territory. When Xie Changji heard that she was going to get another room, his heart ached.

Watching her open the door, he finally called her and found an excuse he had always used: "You don't have to do this. It's dangerous for you to be alone. I'll stay with you."

"No need," Hua Xiangwan said calmly, with her back to him, "Since you remember everything, you should know that I'm not that weak. After all, I have absorbed the power of a cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage. It's just that it's inconvenient to use, but I can protect myself."

As she was about to leave, Xie Changji immediately said, "Then help me clean the wound."

Hua Xiangwan paused, and when she turned around, she saw Xie Changji turning his head to look to the side, as if he was a little unnatural: "I'm injured too."

She hesitated for a moment, thought about it, and nodded: "Okay."

"I want to clean it first."

"Don't let water touch your wound."

“It’s too dirty.”

Xie Changji insisted. Hua Xiangwan remembered that he always loved cleanliness. Getting wounded was a common occurrence for him. Perhaps cleanliness was more important than this.

She nodded and said, "Then I'll wait for you."

Xie Changji responded and walked into the clean room. Hua Xiangwan returned to the table, sat on the chair, poured herself some tea, and waited for Xie Changji.

She didn't expect that Xie Changji actually remembered everything.

Since he remembered it, she would not be able to fool him by saying that she didn't feel anything.

But she couldn't agree.

She was a person without a future, and she couldn't let him be trapped here with her.

Moreover, he was obsessed with Wanwan who jumped off the cliff that year, but she was no longer that person.

She waited quietly outside. Xie Changji calmly unbuttoned his clothes in the clean room, took out a dagger from his bag, and slashed along the existing wounds on his body with a clean and decisive move.

He gritted his teeth to suppress all sounds, and cut each wound deep enough to see the bone. After doing all this, he washed the dagger with water with trembling hands and put it back into the Qiankun bag.

Hua Xiangwan listened to the silence for a while, as if someone was taking off clothes, and then the sound of water was heard. Not long after, Xie Changji changed into a white wide-sleeved shirt and walked out of the room.

His hair was loose, and his shirt revealed his collarbone and half of his chest. Water droplets slid down his neck into his shirt. Although he had a face as white as the mountains, at this moment he revealed an inexplicable alluring charm.

His wound touched the water, and he was obviously irritated. Blood seeped out of his clothes, like gorgeous plum blossoms blooming on his white shirt.

Hua Xiangwan frowned slightly when she saw the blood, and waved at him, "Come here."

Xie Changji walked up to her and knelt down. Hua Xiangwan took the medicine and watched the person in front of her take off his clothes calmly.

There were scars all over his body, and Hua Xiangwan was stunned when she saw the bloody wounds.

As soon as she saw the blood, she knew that the wounds must be deep, but she didn't expect them to be so deep that bones could be seen in several of them. They were also stained with the sharp sword energy and could not be healed in a short time.

Hua Xiangwan couldn't help but frown and looked up at him: "Why didn't you tell me earlier that you were so seriously injured?"

Xie Changji lowered his head and said softly, "It is more important for you and Senior Sister Hu Mian to see the doctor."

"It's not a big deal for us," Hua Xiangwan pursed her lips, suppressed her dissatisfaction, took the medicine and applied it to him, and couldn't help but said, "You can't bear it like this in the future."

Xie Changji lowered his head and said in a much gentler tone: "Yeah."

"Or I should call Xue Zidan over..."

Seeing such a serious wound, Hua Xiangwan was still worried. Just as she was about to stand up, Xie Changji pulled her back and said, "No need."

His tone was very cold: "If he comes here, he won't need treatment. He will get better in the end."

The words were a bit childish, and Hua Xiangwan couldn't help but laugh: "Xie Changji, are you seventeen years old?"

Xie Changji said nothing, but his expression showed that he would not give in at all.

Hua Xiangwan paused for a moment, shook her head, and could only resign herself to helping him put the medicine on the wound. After finishing all this, she whispered, "Okay, I'll go first. Call me if you need anything."

Xie Changji responded, and he didn't stay any longer, just knelt quietly on the ground.

Hua Xiangwan walked out, and when she reached the door, she couldn't help but look back, and saw Xie Changji still sitting there, with no sign of wanting to fall asleep.

She hesitated for a moment and reminded him: "You should rest early and stop torturing yourself."

"good."

Xie Changji's voice was steady.

Hua Xiangwan forced herself to look away and went back to the main hall to find the waiter to book a new room.

When she came back after checking into the room, she saw that the light in Xie Changji's room had been turned off. She felt a little relieved, but when she lay down alone, she didn't know why, she just couldn't fall asleep.

I turned to and fro, unable to help wondering whether Xie Changji was asleep or not. He was so badly injured, would anything happen to him?

With his ability, nothing should happen, but now he is obviously not in a good condition.

He has gone crazy. What happened during the heavenly tribulation? What is his current strength? Is he just a weakling and not as strong as she imagined?

She thought about it for a long time, and finally, without any hesitation, she sat up and decided to go to Xie Changji's room to check and make sure that he was okay.

She quietly went downstairs, ran to Xie Changji's door, used a concealment spell, and tiptoed to the window.

There was a barrier in Xie Changji's room, so she couldn't see anything. She could only quietly open the window and see that there was no one in the room.

She frowned. Not feeling any sign of Xie Changji's presence, she felt a little uneasy, so she bravely climbed in through the window and walked towards the bed.

There seemed to be someone on the bed, but also there seemed to be no one.

She just looked at his condition.

She comforted herself and walked nervously to the bed. When she lifted the curtain, she found that there was no one in the bed.

Hua Xiangwan was stunned for a moment, and then she heard Xie Changji's voice behind her: "You came to see me?"

The sound startled Hua Xiangwan. She turned around suddenly and found Xie Changji very close to her.

She subconsciously took a step back, completely forgetting that the bed was right behind her. She was hit by the bed and fell backwards due to weightlessness.

Xie Changji raised his hands, held her waist and fell on the bed with her. He took off her shoes and without waiting for her to react, he hugged her and rolled onto the bed, trapping her inside.

The two of them were standing very close to each other, and Xie Changji had a restrained, gentle smile in his eyes.

Hua Xiangwan's heart was beating fast, and she felt guilty as if she had been caught stealing. She couldn't help but shrink back and nervously explained, "I... I just came to see you. I was worried that you had a high fever or something."

"Yeah." Xie Changji looked at her and didn't say anything to embarrass her. He just asked, "Why don't you stay and take care of it?"

"If you're okay, I'll leave." Upon hearing this, Hua Xiangwan reacted quickly, stood up and wanted to run.

Xie Changji pulled her back, turned over and pressed her under him, propped up half of his body, and looked down at her: "I have something to do."

"You look fine." Hua Xiangwan was unconvinced.

As soon as he finished speaking, a drop of blood fell on Hua Xiangwan's face.

Hua Xiangwan was stunned. She looked up blankly and heard Xie Changji say calmly, "The wound is broken."

Guessing that it was cracked just now, Hua Xiangwan was a little afraid to move for a moment.

Looking at her, Xie Changji lowered his head slightly, buried it in her neck, and whispered, "I can't sleep without you."

"You never slept before," Hua Xiangwan squinted at the bed curtains, "you always meditated."

"Now I have to go to bed."

Hearing this, Hua Xiangwan did not refute.

In his current condition, a good sleep and rest would be much more helpful than meditating.

She squinted her eyes for a long time, sighed, and said resignedly, "Forget it, let's go to sleep."

Xie Changji didn't say anything, he just pressed on her without moving.

Hua Xiangwan pushed him and said, "Get out of here."

Xie Changji rolled off her body. Hua Xiangwan turned her back to him, pulled up the quilt, closed her eyes and said, "Call me if you need anything."

Xie Changji didn't say anything. After a while, he hugged her from behind.

"Wanwan," Xie Changji said softly, "I'm glad you're back."

Hua Xiangwan said nothing. She closed her eyes and looked into the night. After a while, she said softly, "Xie Changji, I am not the Wanwan of the past."

"I know."

"In fact, you don't understand me at all," Hua Xiangwan was hugged by him, "The one you love and are obsessed with is actually the same person from two hundred years ago."

"Hua Xiangwan," he called her by her full name, as if to distinguish something, "I always know what I want."

He knew it then, and he knows it now.

He is slow to love someone and slow to think about something, but every emotion and every decision he makes is made after he spends a long time understanding it.

Hua Xiangwan said nothing. She was held in this man's arms, feeling the warmth enveloping her, and she became weak.

"No," she said calmly, looking ahead, "you don't know."

You don't even know what the real Hua Xiangwan is like, what she does, and what she is going to do, so how can you talk about knowing it clearly?

But she didn't want to say these words anymore. She was too tired. She closed her eyes and planned to put everything off until later.

The two slept for a night, and when they woke up the next day, Xie Changji was still beside her, holding her in his arms, as if they were still in the dreamland.

During the six months they were in the Irregular Village, she was in a state of long silence every morning when she opened her eyes. She was a little dazed for a moment, and the person behind her felt that she had woken up. He hugged her tightly in a daze, without even closing his eyes, and almost unconsciously kissed her neck, all the way down, and said in a hoarse voice: "Do you want it?"

"etc!"

Hua Xiangwan reacted suddenly. She grabbed the other person's hand that was pulling the belt skillfully and suddenly woke up.

Xie Changji opened his eyes hazily and looked at Hua Xiangwan with an uncertain expression. After a moment, before he could react, he was kicked hard off the bed.

"Get out!"

After yelling, the other party pulled the bed curtains shut.

Xie Changji fell to the ground, and the pain hit him. Only then did he realize what had happened. He shook his head, raised his hand to cover his forehead, and whispered: "Sorry, I'm used to it..."

"Get out!"

This was interrupted hastily, and Hua Xiangwan seemed even angrier.

Xie Changji felt helpless and didn't know what to say. He could only prop himself up, go to the side to get some clothes, and wait for the door.

Hua Xiangwan breathed slightly through the bed curtains. These messy things gave her a headache, but what made her even more painful was that she didn't know who to blame for all this.

Are you surprised by the long silence?

It was she who dragged him into the illusion for half a year, and it was she who was worried about coming back last night.

You can only blame yourself.

Obsessed with sex, confused in mind!

He wanted her to know that he still remembered him, he wanted her to know that he was Xie Wushuang, he wanted her to know...

She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. After a while, she saw the sound transmission jade token light up. She sensed the aura on it, her face turned pale, and she glanced outside the door. She raised her voice, "Thank you, Changji."

"Um."

"Go cook a bowl of noodles."

"good."

Xie Changji didn't ask any more questions and just walked away.

As soon as Xie Changji left, Hua Xiangwan immediately set up a barrier and opened the jade token of voice transmission.

"Young Master Hua," a clear female voice rang out from the jade token, "I heard that there was a conflict with your Wu Gu Sect. How is it going now?"

"Just get to the point."

Hua Xiangwan listened to the other party's irrelevant questions and immediately got straight to the point.

The other party listened to her tone and said in a more serious tone: "Okay, I'm here to tell you that Qin Yunyi has obtained the second blood order."

"So fast?" Hua Xiangwan raised her eyebrows.

The other party smiled softly: "Don't you know what she does? There are many magic weapons in Mingluan Palace. She will just go and grab them. There should be five pieces of Demon Lord Blood Order. After she gets the third piece, she will probably come to you right away. You'd better take care of yourself."

"When will the Dark Confusion break through?"

Hua Xiangwan asked a question that was unrelated to the topic. The other party was stunned for a moment, but then quickly reacted and said, "Five days at most. What do you want to do?"

Hua Xiangwan didn't say anything. After a moment of silence, she said softly, "Yun Shang, I may have found the bodies of my brothers and sisters."

Hearing this, Qin Yunshang paused for a moment, and soon her voice came, with a calmness that she tried her best to restrain: "Where is it?"

"Wu Gu Sect."

Hua Xiangwan speculated: "Back then, the Demon Lord must have gifted them to the Wulong Sect to refine corpses."

"Repairing corpses..."

Qin Yunshang murmured, and after a moment, she laughed and gritted her teeth and said, "How dare they!"

"It's almost time." Hua Xiangwan looked at the cloud pattern in the bed curtains. "My tendons and veins have recovered. Please help me keep an eye on Wen Rong and Ming Huo."

"What do you want to do?"

Upon hearing this, Hua Xiangwan remained silent.

After a moment, she said casually: "Destroy the sect."

"Isn't it a little too early?"

Qin Yunshang frowned: "At present, Qingle Palace and Mingluan Palace have not completely fallen out. If you are discovered..."

"I will send Xie Changji away in four days. You will help me keep an eye on him. Don't worry, if we are discovered," Hua Xiangwan bit her finger unconsciously, "I will summon that thing in advance."

"Xie Changji is here," Qin Yunshang heard this and reminded her, "Don't seek death."

"It's okay." Hua Xiangwan lowered her eyes. "Before that, I will find a way to drive him out of the Western Territory."

"What if I can't get away?"

Hearing this, Hua Xiangwan said nothing.

Qin Yunshang sighed: "Hua Xiangwan, don't push everyone to the brink of death for a man."

"Don't worry," Hua Xiangwan bit her finger a little hastily, but her tone was very calm as she comforted Qin Yunshang, "If he poses any threat to the plan, I will do it myself."

Qin Yunshang finally stopped talking. After a while, she said, "Ah Wan, I'm not forcing you, so don't force yourself either."

"I know."

Hua Xiangwan breathed a sigh of relief: "Take good care of yourself, and see you in four days."

Qin Yunshang responded, Hua Xiangwan cut off the jade communication, hugged herself in the bed curtains for a long time, and heard footsteps coming from outside.

She breathed a sigh of relief, raised her head, returned to her normal self, and nonchalantly opened the bed curtains.

Xie Changji came back with the noodles in his hand. Hua Xiangwan glanced at him and then remembered: "Is that... injury okay? Was my foot too heavy?"

"It's just a minor injury. Nothing serious."

As Xie Changji spoke, he walked up to her, half-knelt down, and helped her put on her shoes.

Hua Xiangwan lowered her eyes and looked at the person in front of her. He was warm in the morning light, like a piece of glowing jade, and the sight of him warmed people's hearts.

"Thank you, Changji."

She suddenly spoke, and Xie Changji looked up at her.

"Well... I mean, what if," she looked into Xie Changji's eyes, "what if one day you discovered that I'm not what you thought I was, for example, that I'm a very bad person."

Hua Xiangwan hesitated: "What will you do?"

Xie Changji didn't say anything for a long time. He then asked, "What if it was me?"

"What?"

"What if one day you find out that I'm not what you thought I was, and that I'm a very bad person?"

Hua Xiangwan was stunned for a moment, then she smiled and said, "It won't be like this one day."

"Yeah."

Xie Changji lowered his eyes and stood up: "Let's go eat noodles after washing up."

Hua Xiangwan nodded. She stood up and followed Xie Changji to the table. As soon as she sat down, she heard Xie Changji speak: "Come to think of it, you also asked me to cook noodles on the day you ran away from your marriage."

Hua Xiangwan paused, then looked at Xie Changji, who was looking at her quietly, his eyes full of understanding: "What did you do just now?"

When Hua Xiangwan heard this, he bit a mouthful of noodles in his mouth.

She started to cough rapidly, and Xie Changji patted her back gently: "If you don't want to talk about it, don't talk about it. Don't get excited."

"Xie Changji..." Hua Xiangwan coughed and looked at him in pain, "You...a monster?"
