Chapter 55: The Frail Beauty Whose Life Was Extended by the Immortal Cultivator (10)
When Xiao Yuheng couldn't wait to return to Qingwu's small courtyard, he saw Qingwu standing quietly at the door, like a fairy walking out of a sad and beautiful painting.
However, her slightly thin body and the weak expression that inadvertently revealed on her face clearly showed that she was just an ordinary woman.
The material clung softly to her body, outlining her delicate figure, as if any stronger wind would blow her down and break her.
Qingwu hugged herself tightly with her arms. Perhaps it was because she felt a little lonely and cold during this long wait, so she subconsciously made this action, trying to get a little warmth and comfort from it.
Her long, shiny black hair fluttered freely in the wind, and a few strands of hair playfully stuck to her slightly flushed cheeks.
That was caused by standing in the wind for a long time and being blown by the wind, but it looked like adding a touch of natural rouge to her beautiful and elegant face, making her look even more charming and lovable.
Her beautiful and clear eyes were now covered with a thin layer of mist, as if shrouded in smoke. Beneath that layer of mist lay a complex emotion formed by the interweaving of deep worry and earnest expectation.
Her eyes were fixed on the path leading into the distance, not missing the slightest movement. Her lips, which had been bitten to the point of losing their color and were trembling slightly, and the barely perceptible sobs that came with every breath, revealed her inner uneasiness and anxiety.
Time passed by minute by minute, and no one knew how much time had passed. Just when Qingwu was about to fall into despair, the familiar figure finally appeared slowly at the end of the path.
In an instant, a hint of surprise suddenly flashed in her originally dull eyes. She couldn't wait to run over, but because she had been standing for a long time, her steps became weak and she stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
Her shaky appearance was like a delicate flower struggling in a storm, which could be destroyed and withered by the ruthless wind and rain at any time.
Xiao Yuheng saw this scene from afar and felt as if his heart was suddenly grabbed by an invisible big hand, causing him so much pain that he could hardly breathe.
In his hundred years of life, he had never seen such a heartbreaking scene.
Even though he knew very well in his heart that the reason Qingwu was so dependent on him was simply because she wanted to survive and regarded him as her last straw.
There was not a single romantic feeling between men and women in her heart, and she was not even aware of the unknown evil intentions hidden deep in his heart.
However, even so, Xiao Yuheng still found that he was completely unable to control his heart that had long been moved by her.
Love surged in his heart like a tide, flooding him.
He quickly stepped forward, opened his arms, and hugged Qingwu tightly in his arms, as if he was embracing the whole world.
He lowered his head and stared at Qingwu's pale little face. His heart was broken and his feelings of pity were beyond words.
Without any hesitation, he hurriedly took out a freshly refined thousand-year-old snake demon pill from his arms and carefully put it to Qingwu's mouth.
Many precious medicinal materials for strengthening the body and replenishing the vital energy are also added to it, which has excellent effects on improving people's physical fitness.
But Qingwu's real problem is that her spiritual veins are damaged. It will take time to fully recover, and she still needs long-term and persistent care.
Xiao Yuheng's face was filled with seriousness and worry. He said anxiously, "Awu, next time, you must never stand in the cold wind and wait like this. You're already weak. What if you accidentally catch a cold or something else goes wrong? What will you do?"
Qingwu obediently swallowed the pill. In an instant, a warm current flowed down from her throat and quickly spread throughout her body.
She only felt that her body was bathed in sunshine, warm and comfortable, a feeling she had never experienced before.
Not only that, she also clearly felt that the force that had been restraining her body seemed to be gradually weakening and loosening, and even the discomfort caused by the wind just now disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Qingwu's eyes lit up instantly, sparkling with surprise and hope.
She looked at Xiao Yuheng with admiration, her eyes full of dependence and expectation on him.
There is hope, she is saved!
Xiao Yuheng was so moved by Qingwu's gaze, which was full of affection, dependence and expectation, that he felt itchy and his heart was filled with ripples.
He wished he could give all the good things he had to Qingwu, just so that she could rely on him more.
So, he spoke again without hesitation: "I also brought you a lot of delicious and fun things, as well as beautiful clothes and jewelry. Ah Wu, take a look. Do you like them?"
Just as he finished speaking, in a matter of moments, the courtyard, which was not small to begin with, was filled to the brim with all kinds of items.
Qingwu was once again stunned by the astonishing scene before her.
Qing Wu was wearing a gorgeous dress that she had never worn before. She carefully tried on the exquisite pearl hairpins and emerald rings, and looked at Xiao Yuheng who was busy outside the yard with a complicated expression.
Xiao Yuheng first decorated the courtyard meticulously, placing each piece of suitable furniture neatly;
Then he started to pound medicine and cook without stopping. Soon, he had served the delicious meals on the table.
However, even though he was so busy, his bright eyes would still glance at Qingwu's room from time to time, hoping to get Qingwu's approval and recognition, and at the same time he was extremely eager to see Qingwu wearing the dress he bought for her.
Beads of sweat were faintly visible on his jade-like face, but he had no time to care.
He had never experienced such a busy scene before. When he was in Wansheng Sect, although he also had to go through many hardships, he had almost never encountered any insurmountable difficulties and obstacles due to his extraordinary talent.
Moreover, as a monk, there is no need to take care of food by yourself.
Besides, as the son of the headmaster, his cave had been carefully prepared from the very beginning, and he had never had excessive demands for the quality of life.
However, Qingwu is completely different.
Such a rare treasure of a woman, only the best things in the world can be worthy of her.
Even in the current situation, he still felt dissatisfied.
It's a pity that the resources in the mortal world are ultimately limited...
Just as Xiao Yuheng was thinking to himself, Qingwu's door was suddenly pushed open slowly.
Xiao Yuheng couldn't help but squint his eyes - the light blinded him.
