Chapter 46: The Frail Beauty Whose Life Was Extended by the Immortal Cultivator (1)
(Is it 1v4 or 1v3 in this world? The gentle immortal brother, the innocent brother born with sword bones, the cold-hearted immortal who practices the ruthless way, and the trouble-making demon king - who is her husband?)
"Husband~" A soft yet delicate voice suddenly sounded, easily touching the heartstrings of the listener, causing someone's heart to beat violently like a drum in an instant.
In a corner of the mortal world, there is a secluded courtyard that is like a paradise, quietly hidden among the green mountains and clear waters, far away from the hustle and bustle of the world.
The courtyard is surrounded by a dense and lush bamboo forest. The tall and slender bamboos are densely packed together, forming an indestructible green natural barrier.
The sunlight shines through the gaps in the bamboo leaves, forming golden spots, like tiny pieces of gold scattered on the ground.
Gently push open the slightly quaint wooden door, and what comes into view is a small and exquisite courtyard.
There is a small pond made of bluestone in the center of the courtyard. The water in the pond is crystal clear and reflects the sky and the surrounding scenery.
There are several red carps swimming freely in the water. Sometimes they shuttle among the water plants, and sometimes they jump out of the water, splashing a string of crystal water.
There are several pots of unknown small flowers on the windowsill. The colorful flowers bloom in the sun, adding a bit of vitality to the house.
It is like a tranquil pastoral painting, simple yet warm everywhere.
Hearing his wife's call, the man turned around. He was as tall and straight as a sturdy pine tree, and he exuded an elegant and gentle temperament, which made people feel good about him.
Looking at his face again, his facial features are clear and distinct, hard yet soft.
Especially under those sword-like eyebrows, there are a pair of deep and affectionate eyes.
When these eyes looked at his wife, the endless tenderness contained in them seemed to be able to make people deeply indulge in it, as if in his eyes, everything in the world was not even one-tenth as great as the woman in front of him.
The man has a high nose bridge with smooth and natural lines, which adds a touch of three-dimensional beauty to his already handsome face.
The smile on the thin lips is like a spring breeze, warm and comfortable, and can easily dispel the haze in the hearts of those around.
His shiny black hair was casually tied up, with a few strands falling on his cheeks, making him look more elegant.
At this moment, he was wearing a moon-white robe. No one knew what the material was, but it was faintly glowing with a soft glow, as if moonlight was sprinkled on it.
The robe was embroidered with simple yet delicate patterns in silver thread, which appeared faintly in the light, giving it a low-key yet luxurious look.
He had a blue ribbon tied around his waist, with a warm jade pendant inlaid on the ribbon. The jade pendant swayed gently with his steps, making crisp sounds.
And the woman who was walking slowly towards them was even more breathtakingly beautiful.
Her face is like a flower blooming in the clouds, delicate and otherworldly.
Her skin was as white as snow and as delicate as mutton-fat jade, and her eyes were like a clear spring, with rippling water and bright and moving.
As her eyes move, it seems as if stars are twinkling and jumping in them, with a bit of smart and playful meaning that makes people fall in love with her.
Her long hair was as smooth and shiny as black satin, casually draped over her shoulders, tied with only a simple ribbon.
She was wearing a lotus-colored silk dress with exquisite flower patterns embroidered with gold thread. The neckline and cuffs were decorated with white fluff, which made her look more noble and elegant.
She is like a goddess from heaven, not an ordinary person.
But this beauty seems a little too fragile. Her delicate figure is like a willow branch swaying in the wind, and a gust of wind may blow her down.
At this moment, the beauty only coughed twice softly. Although the sound was not loud, it was enough to make Xiao Yuheng's heart tighten.
He quickly rushed to the window and quickly closed it tightly. Then, with a look of concern on his face, he turned to the beauty and said nervously, "Awu, why did you come out? It's so windy outside. Please go inside quickly or you'll catch a cold."
The beautiful woman, with a graceful figure, shook her head gently, her tone soft and gentle, "I haven't seen my husband return for a long time, and I was really worried, so I thought of coming out to check on him. I'm fine, this little breeze is nothing."
However, Xiao Yuheng's face was filled with pity when he heard this. He stretched out his arms and hugged the beauty tightly in his arms, saying softly, "You have always been weak, how can it be okay? Come back to your room quickly and rest. Your husband is preparing a medicinal meal for you."
The beauty's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, their tips drooping slightly, as if a thousand strands of worry were tugging at her heartstrings. She said quietly, "Husband... am I going to be dependent on elixirs for the rest of my life? I'm like a medicine jar, consuming jar after jar of medicinal food day after day, yet my body remains in this state."
"Since I married my husband, my health has been much better than before, but I still have this feeling of palpitations from time to time, and I can't live without elixirs at all." Qing Wu sighed.
"If it weren't for my poor health, I wouldn't have dragged my husband down to this point. I've been with Awu for so long. My husband was originally going to become an immortal, but Awu delayed his path to immortality."
"When Awu leaves, my husband will be free..." When she said this, the beauty couldn't help but burst into tears, and the tears rolled down like pearls from a broken string.
"Awu!" Xiao Yuheng, who had always been gentle and polite, suddenly changed his expression. His eyes, which had been gentle as water, instantly became sharp, as if he was filled with fear and uneasiness about Qingwu's words.
He hugged the beautiful woman tightly in his arms, murmuring softly, "Awu, don't talk nonsense! Don't talk nonsense... It's absolutely fine, and you won't have to take medicine all the time. I promised you a long time ago that I would do everything I can to cure your illness."
"There must be a way to completely cure your body."
"Don't scare me, Awu. You are not a burden to me. You are my treasure. My life is wonderful because of you. Only with you do I know what I want to ask."
"You are my way."
Qingwu listened quietly to Xiao Yuheng's affectionate words, without speaking a word in response, but just snuggled gently in the man's broad and warm arms.
However, her eyes, which were originally as charming as autumn water, were still shrouded in a lingering hint of sadness.
At this moment, the man frowned and fell into deep thought. He didn't notice at all that there was a fleeting glimmer of light in the clear eyes of the beauty in his arms.
