Qing Wu's ears, face, and breathing were hot, but she remained calm. She slapped Xiao Chenyan's hand away and said without a word:
"Where do you get the courage to say that to me?" She rubbed her throat, and her tone became a little more normal, but her voice was still a little hoarse.
Xiao Chenyan knew that she had a bad temper, so he didn't argue with her.
"Is your throat really alright? You should apply some medicine."
"No need, there's magma under my body that I use as mouthwash, boiling water and tea are just nothing, what can it do to me?"
Xiao Chenyan said softly, "Oh!" in an intriguing tone, "That's amazing."
Qing Wu detected some sarcasm in the words and glared at him. Seeing that the wound on his shoulder was slowly healing, she stood up, wrung out a towel from the basin beside her, and wiped the blood off his shoulder.
"Given your current physical recovery, your skin and flesh have healed, but the arrow just grazed your bones, and the internal wound will still take a few days to heal. You'd better be obedient these days."
As she spoke, the murderous intent in her heart began to surge again. She tilted her head and looked at him: "You sneaked into the palace today? Are you planning to kill that old, stupid emperor in your family?"
"I have no intention of rebelling for the time being." Xiao Chenyan denied the latter and put on his inner garments. As he moved his arms, he felt the pain from the torn muscles on his shoulder blades, but his expression remained unchanged and he calmly told about his experiences in the palace.
The more Qing Wu listened, the tighter her brows furrowed. Noticing the stiffness in his shoulder blades, she slapped his hand away and walked over to help him tie his belt.
Xiao Chenyan lowered his eyes and could see the whorl of hair on her head. He let her play with her hands as she hung them down.
"The last time I entered the palace, I didn't realize there was such a 'master' in Tianshou Palace. He could even make the shadow cat on your body feel troublesome. There are indeed many hidden dragons and crouching tigers around your royal grandfather."
Qing Wu paused, then raised her head in confusion: "By the way, how did you escape from that man?"
"Instinct." Xiao Chenyan pondered for a moment, and suddenly held Qing Wu's hand. At first, Qing Wu didn't know what he meant, but the next moment, the blood on the bandage faded away, condensed into a drop of blood floating on the fingertips, and then turned into a blood ridge.
Xiao Chenyan held her hand, as if directing a command, and pointed forward. A bloody edge shot out like an arrow from a bow, piercing through the wall in an instant, and the next moment it flew back to the fingertips and dissipated into mist.
"that's all."
After the demonstration, he let go.
Qing Wu had a strange look on her face, as she had never seen the kind of magic Xiao Chenyan was using before.
The power does not come from her own ghost power, nor is it like the mortal monks borrowing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
According to Xiao Chenyan, this was a critical moment, and it naturally popped up in his mind. It was an instinct.
"You have a lot of gold and silver hidden in your mind. Last time, I deliberately taught you the wrong illusion technique, and you corrected it yourself."
After Qing Wu finished speaking, she felt the man's gaze change, and she raised her eyes to meet that handsome face that seemed to be smiling.
Because of the step-by-step 'demonstration' she had just given him, her back was pressed against his chest, very close to him.
She raised her eyes, he lowered them, their eyes met, and their breaths collided.
Unwarranted ambiguity.
Seeing that there was too much playfulness in his eyes, Qing Wu subconsciously tried to move away, but he grabbed her waist.
"So the princess's claim that she would teach me illusions was also a test?"
Qing Wu stiffened her neck and said, "This matter is over now. A real man should not settle scores after the event."
Xiao Chenyan sneered, "He has quite a lot of tricks up his sleeve."
"Same here." Qing Wu said, coughed, and scolded in a low voice: "Don't let go."
Xiao Chenyan uttered "oh" and let go of his hand. His eyes were lazy and reluctance was written on his face.
The man was tall, wearing an undershirt that was tied loosely by her, exposing most of his chest. The ink-black robe on the outside made him look even more lazy. His pair of dark eyes could not hide his lustful intentions, and they looked like burning sparks on people.
He was unwilling to be too open and righteous. Qing Wu felt embarrassed and annoyed by his stare. She gritted her teeth and said, "What are you looking at? Didn't you hug me enough just now?"
"Well, not enough."
Qing Wu was speechless, and after a moment she gritted her teeth and said, "If it's not enough, just bear with it."
He sneered and looked at her with a smile: "Stingy girl."
In the past, Qing Wu always called him a miser, but now it was his turn to call her a stingy person.
"I'm just being stingy, lilele~" Qing Wu put her hand on his nose and stuck out her tongue at him and made a face.
As soon as she made a "lululu" sound, she felt embarrassed and her feet itched and wanted to slap herself.
Naive, really too naive.
Xiao Chenyan suddenly laughed out loud. Looking at her actions, he remembered how naughty she was when she was a child.
He was a bad boy at that time and loved to play tricks on her, but this little kid was not one to suffer any loss and would always find a chance to take revenge.
Once, this little girl followed her brother Yun Zheng into the palace to see him. It happened that he was taking a nap at that time, so she had the courage to draw a piglet on his face.
When he woke up and found out, she was like this, making a pig nose shape with her hand, sticking out her tongue and sneering at him, shaking her head and wagging her tail while mocking him, making people want to catch her and beat her up.
When he was caught, the little kid immediately had tears in his eyes and looked like a bullied kid. He couldn't vent his anger at all and had to coax the little girl in a loud and gentle voice.
Childhood memories and the present are intertwined to form this vivid and eye-catching person before our eyes.
"Don't stare at me all the time." Qing Wu blushed and scolded, "How can the dignified King Yan be so obsessed with love? Let's talk about business, what are you thinking about?"
Xiao Chenyan regained his composure and snorted, but he still couldn't hold back the impulse in his heart. A trace of revenge surged up in his heart, and he ruffled her hair: "Don't be so cute."
"Xiao, Chen, Yan!" Qing Wu's face turned red.
"A little more." The man frowned. "You are too cute. It makes me more likely to have bad intentions."
Not only Qing Wu's heart was trembling, but her pupils were trembling as well.
She even suspected that the arrow was smeared with aphrodisiac.
Judge's Pen: "Oh my dear father, is my brother Yantai's mouth filled with honey today? I can't stand it anymore. Ah Wu, hold on, this man is seducing you."
Xiao Chenyan: “…” He wanted to have a private chat with the pen.
"Don't talk to me like that, it's too scary." Qing Wu swallowed her saliva, "If you do that again, I'm going to kill you."
Xiao Chenyan stopped teasing her, what a useless little ghost girl.
He brought the topic back on track: "In your opinion, what is the origin of the man in the Nuo mask beside the emperor?"
"I haven't seen him in person, so how can I say for sure?"
Qing Wu shrugged: "The Soul-Breaking Arrow is a forbidden technique. When it injures someone, it will also devour one's own soul. Mortals cannot control it."
"However, I guess that person might be related to the Wu clan."
Many things that happened during this period can be connected together, and all arrows point to the Wu clan. Qing Wu then told the story of the 'Purple River Placenta'.
The couple looked at each other and came to an idea.
"Your royal ancestor gave up being an emperor and became a slave of the Wu clan." Qing Wu said, "If he was possessed by another body, it would be fine. But if he was willing, I can only say that he had ambitions."
Xiao Chenyan didn't feel offended at all.
This time he ventured into the palace, he did not gain nothing, at least he confirmed one thing.
"It seems that no matter for my royal ancestor or the witch clan, I am a very important chess piece."
Xiao Chenyan looked at the shadow at his feet with a gloomy look in his eyes: "If I were insignificant, I could have been killed ten years ago."
Qing Wu didn't say anything. She couldn't tell what she felt in her heart, but she just wanted to kill someone.
Xiao Chenyan raised his eyes, and with a thought, he threw Shadow Cat out of the house. Qing Wu was surprised, and then she heard him say:
"How about you play my chess piece until I have the power to turn the tables?"
Qing Wu's eyes were stern: "Do you know what this means?"
"I dare to give my life to you." Xiao Chenyan nodded, silently reciting her name in his heart: Yun Qingwu, "Are you willing to accept it?"
