Chapter 496: Herein (10)
"No, I've been fighting for 60,000 years and I'm about to vomit." Jingshan waved his hand.
Qing Xun turned back to Qi Shuo and said, "Then I'll stay at Qi Shuo's place for a while. His bed is comfortable and I'm used to it. I'll sleep there for a few days and then go back to my birthplace to build a temple."
Upon hearing this, Qi Shuo reached out and grabbed the back of her collar. The next moment, meeting her puzzled gaze, he coughed, let go in frustration, and smoothed the back of her collar. "You forgot you've transformed again. I'm used to it."
"Be gentle." Shi Xi pulled Qing Xun over to her. "Qing Xun, come to my place. Isn't my bed more comfortable than Qi Shuo's?"
"Didn't you hear her say she's used to living here? Why don't you come to my place?" Qi Shuo reached out and pushed Qing Xun's shoulder, leading her towards the Demon Abyss. "You haven't finished organizing the Yin-Yang Book last time. I don't want to take over a mess."
Qing Xun turned his head and said, "This is obviously your job. You are so shameless to throw it to me."
"You are full of energy, so you don't have to keep asking me to teach you tricks." Qi Shuo subdued her by force and took her away.
Don't even think about running away until the work is done.
"Jiuzhou, I don't want to go with him, save me!" Qing Xun stretched out his hand to Jiuzhou.
Jiuzhou lowered his head, pretending not to see or hear anything.
"Qingyun, let's go." Shixi withdrew his gaze from the two figures and took Qingyun's hand.
Qing Yun shook his head slightly, "I'm going back to the Icefield to retreat, and I won't go to the Wood Forest."
"Okay."
Chang Xuan looked at her with a smile, "Why don't you ask me? I'll go."
"That's fine." Shi Xi pulled his sleeve and walked away. "We'll go first. Feel free to come to my place. The sacred tree should be bearing fruit. Come and pick some."
Li Huan wanted to follow him, but Chang Xuan turned around with a threatening look in his eyes.
Jing Shan grabbed Li Huan's shoulder and took him two steps back, "Be careful or he'll beat you up."
"It's still unclear who will beat whom." Although he said so, Li Huan had no intention of following.
Wood forest.
Chang Xuan looked down at her hand pulling at his sleeve, and the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously.
"What are you laughing at?" Shi Xi turned around and saw him laughing, feeling a little confused.
"It's the atmosphere here that makes me feel at ease." Chang Xuan shifted his gaze from her face to the lush vegetation around him.
Shi Xi let go and nodded, "Chang Xuan, I promised to build a temple for you, why didn't you do it? You come and stay at my place every day."
"Don't you welcome me?" Chang Xuan picked a purple rhinoceros flower from the roadside and twirled the branch around his fingertips.
"I didn't say you're not welcome."
"Feng Ben has no fixed place to stay; the world is his home. As Qing Xun said, she has been staying with Qi Shuo for tens of thousands of years and is used to it. I am also used to staying with you, so I am too lazy to make room. Anyway, you won't chase me away." Chang Xuan inserted the purple rhinoceros flower in his hand into her hair, "Accommodation fee, the purple rhinoceros flower suits you very well."
Shi Xi looked up at him and looked into his eyes which were smiling calmly. The look in his eyes seemed to be one of appreciation and something else.
"There are purple rhinoceros flowers everywhere, and you use them as accommodation fee? And it's just one flower. Isn't it too cheap for my Wooden Temple?" She raised her eyebrows slightly.
"They are everywhere, showing the vitality of the place, just like you. I have traveled thousands of miles to pick this one, and the thought is important." Chang Xuan walked forward with his hands behind his back.
"You're forcing me to buy and sell."
"Then kick me out. I'll go live with Qiyu next door."
Shi Xi: “…”
He wouldn't be happy if we really drove him away.
Shixi raised her hand and took the purple rhinoceros flower from her hair to look at it. It seemed to be more beautiful than the others, so she put it away casually.
Changxuan turned around and raised the corners of his lips.
The sacred tree outside the Wooden Temple had already borne fruit. Changxuan picked two, squatted by the stream, washed them carefully, and gave one to Shixi. Then he lay on the rattan chair outside the temple and watched the leaves swaying in the wind. The sunlight passed through the dense branches and leaves, and fell on his face in patches, flickering.
Seeing how relaxed he was, Shi Xi also lay down, gave him a light kick on the calf, and ordered him, "Go make some tea."
Changxuan sat up and went into the hall to find the tea leaves he had put with her before. He picked out her favorite one, slowly brewed the tea, and handed it to her.
The two gods drank tea and enjoyed the scenery.
An emerald green bird flew over, landed on the armrest of the wicker chair, and chirped non-stop.
Shi Xi turned her head and looked at Chang Xuan. He had closed his eyes, breathing evenly, and had fallen asleep.
She stretched out her hand, and the bird jumped into her palm. She tapped its beautiful feathers and said, "Go play somewhere else."
The wind blew, ruffling the hair on her cheek. Shixi turned over and lay on her side, facing Changxuan's quiet profile, his long and thick eyelashes casting a large shadow.
When he fell asleep, his eyes and brows lost some of the arrogance and unrestrainedness that belonged to his nature, and he was extremely quiet.
As if sensing her gaze, Chang Xuan opened his eyes, his brows softening instantly. "What's wrong?"
Looking at him, Shi Xi was speechless for a moment. "Let the wind blow in the other direction. It's blocking my eyes and making it uncomfortable to lie on my side."
Chang Xuan closed his eyes again, "You are so domineering. Even the direction of the wind must be determined by your will."
As he finished speaking, the wind changed direction.
Shi Xi turned over and lay back down with satisfaction, "You have to listen to me, otherwise I will kick you out of the house."
"Well, I'll listen to you." Chang Xuan chuckled and responded, "After all, I don't want to go out and wander around."
She turned her head and glanced at him, then closed her eyes.
Changxuan opened his eyes when she fell asleep, looked at her with a slightly deep gaze, and had something in mind.
Mingyang Palace.
After entering the hall, Qi Shuo let go, took out the Yin-Yang Book and stuffed it into Qing Xun's hand, "Continue to organize it, I'm going to take a nap."
"Why should I clean up while you sleep?" Qing Xun crossed his arms and said unhappily.
"You have to finish what you start. You were the one who sorted out the Yin-Yang Book from the beginning, so finish it." Qi Shuo made her tea, set out a fruit plate and snacks, and then found a more comfortable chair and kicked it behind her. "Get to work. I'm going to bed."
"Why don't you recruit someone to do it for you and come check on it from time to time? Why does it have to be done by me?" Qing Xun opened the Yin-Yang Book and picked up a brush to write and draw.
"It's just that we haven't found a suitable candidate. Thank you for your hard work, Qing Xun." It was rare for him to say something nice, and after he finished speaking, he disappeared in the hall.
After Qing Xun finished sorting, he threw the Yin-Yang Book on the table, picked up a fruit and took a bite, walked to the door of Qi Shuo's bedroom, and kicked the door open.
"Why are you kicking my palace door?" Qi Shuo opened his eyes.
"I'll apply medicine to you." Qing Xun pulled a chair and sat down, looking at Qi Shuo who was meditating on the bed, "Take it off, let me see the wound."
"No, I'll take care of it myself later."
"If you hadn't blocked my attack, I wouldn't have come here and had to work as a laborer for you." Qing Xun's figure flashed, and the next moment he sat down beside his bed, pulling open his clothes, revealing a hideous wound on his chest with some rotting flesh on it. "The wound left by this ferocious beast hasn't healed even after seven thousand years. The rotting flesh needs to be removed every once in a while."
