Chapter 44 Stealing a Wife
Jiang Xianwan's face remained pale as she feigned a heartbroken and desperate expression of rejection, saying, "It was because I was not worthy."
Dragon Carp: "..."
When Di Yin returned, he saw Long Li painfully pushing four fish scales onto Jiang Xianwan's hand with great enthusiasm.
While pushing, he said, "Alright, alright, although you can't have my body, you can have my scales."
"Although you fell in love with me at first sight, I am really not just any random dragon carp."
"Of course, I'm not saying you're easy, it's just that I'm too charming, that's why you're so hopelessly infatuated with me."
"How about we spend some time together first? Is that alright?"
Di Yin: "...?"
You were robbed while you were having a cup of tea?
Or was it a dragon carp that he raised himself?
Jiang Xianwan wiped away her tears, sobbing, and reluctantly accepted the four scales. "Alright then."
After saying that, tears streamed down her face as if they had been cut off.
Hiss~
Too much onion was used.
It's really spicy.
The dragon carp had a complicated expression, shook its head, and let out a long sigh that seemed to go on and on.
well.
Its damned, irresistible, unparalleled, and lawless charm!
Jiang Xianwan, with tears in her eyes, carefully put away the five scales. She was clearly too immersed in the role to notice anything amiss behind her.
She slowly and resolutely stood up, revealing half of her fragile, pale profile to Yu, her voice bitter, "I want to be alone."
Her senior brother wouldn't let her play with the idiot.
Of course, that includes silly fish as well.
Long Li looked at her with a worried expression, "If I don't accept you, you won't try to kill yourself, will you?"
"How about I reluctantly answer..."
Jiang Xianwan: "...?"
"Dragon Carp".
A clear, crisp voice, as pure as snow, swept past my ears, giving me a jolt.
Both the person and the fish turned their heads at the same time.
The dragon carp stared wide-eyed.
Jiang Xianwan was taken aback.
One glance is met with the lush, purple mist-like scene of people standing beneath the rustling purple bamboo.
Those were perfect, flawless eyes, as clear as glass, serene and tranquil.
Jiang Xianwan observed him calmly.
The newcomer was dressed in snow-white robes with black hair. His robes were embroidered with intricate and magnificent silver auspicious cloud patterns, and his wide sleeves reached the ground, flowing like water and moonlight.
Her long, ink-black hair, reaching her ankles, flowed through the soft, flowing fabric of her clothes, held together by a single snow-white ribbon at her slender waist.
Her long, jet-black eyelashes resembled raven wings, and her eyes were slightly upturned, blending three parts charm and seven parts aloofness—two completely opposite qualities.
She possessed an ethereal beauty and an otherworldly aura, appearing as if she had stepped out of a painting, unlike any real person.
It easily brings a picture to mind—
Seated high on the altar, a god who wields a long sword to vanquish all evil spirits, a deity untouched by worldly concerns.
Although it has a completely opposite temperament to Yun Weize, it also gives people the feeling of being awe-inspiring, unapproachable, and untouchable.
Di Yin stood rooted to the spot, his breath caught in his throat, and his fingertips, hidden in his snow-white sleeves, curled slightly.
Memories roll on, swept by the years, surging and roaring into the soul.
I have no idea what I'm feeling right now.
He remained silent and motionless.
Her snow-white eyes rested quietly on Jiang Xianwan's face, while her palms were unknowingly damp with sweat.
The girl changed into new clothes, a light blue robe, just like her three senior brothers.
The tightly bound cuffs accentuated the smooth, creamy white skin beneath, while her jet-black hair was neatly tied up high, with a blue ribbon hanging vertically at the ends, swaying slightly in the wind.
She had long legs and a slender waist; her waist was so thin that the belt was wrapped around her waist three times, showing off her figure perfectly.
I've lost weight.
She has indeed lost weight.
Di Yin stared blankly at those eyes that always held a hint of indifference, eyes that were captivating at first glance.
Jiang Xianwan quickly came to her senses, finding the ethereal disciple Li Nian too unbearable to look at.
In truth, on Broken Mountain, the four of them would reflexively run away and be on guard whenever they saw Hua Buxiu, and they never had such an opportunity to be so polite.
"Disciple Jiang Xianwan greets...Senior."
So, it's not about serving dragon carp.
Jiang Xianwan's lips twitched slightly as she awkwardly greeted him.
Di Yin lowered his eyelashes slightly, suppressed the emotions in his eyes, clenched his slightly trembling fingertips, and said in a voice like a clear mountain spring, "No need for formalities, just call me Jingxing."
His courtesy name was Jingxing.
The dragon carp's eyes widened as if they were about to pop out.
Where is the master's silver hair?
Why did the master speak to her?
Is the owner sick?
Just as the many questions were about to be uttered, the dragon carp met that seemingly indifferent gaze, and its head shrank back in fright, tightly shutting its mouth.
There aren't many brains to begin with, and now there's even less to go around.
Jiang Xianwan felt a little guilty as he held the five fish scales in his hand, unsure of how much he had overheard.
Could this fish be his spirit pet?
Never mind.
The fish was given to her.
Jiang Xianwan composed herself. Observing his extraordinary demeanor, she knew he was a person of exceptional stature. Since he was being polite, she dared not recklessly call him by his name. So she politely said, "Elder Jing."
Di Yin: "..."
You wouldn't even be this polite to Yun Weize.
A strange feeling arose in Di Yin's heart once again.
I don't like this feeling.
His robes trailed in shimmering light like wisps of smoke as he walked to the pavilion by the pond and sat down.
"sit."
Jiang Xianwan was slightly taken aback, and politely declined, "This disciple is here on orders to sweep and clean, so I will not sit down."
Before he could say anything more, she struggled to pick up the broom.
Di Yin: "..."
The dragon carp flew over furtively and whispered, "Master, what do you mean?"
Why did you tell her his name and then let her sit down?
Why?
The master never utters a single word of nonsense to anyone!
Especially women!
Emperor Yin lowered his thick eyelashes and looked at it.
The dragon carp's eyes suddenly lit up, as if it had thought of something, and its tail wagged with great joy.
"You're not treating her differently just because she likes me, are you? Do you also approve of this marriage?"
Di Yin: "..."
Marriage.
His eyes turned noticeably colder, and with a flick of his finger, he sent the dragon carp flying back into the pond.
In the sunlight, he turned his cool profile, his thin lips parted slightly, and his voice was low and slow, carrying a warning, transmitted in a secret tone, "She is mine."
Dragon Carp: "...!"
Whose is it?!
Whose is it?!
The dragon carp lay belly up on the water lily, its brain spinning rapidly.
Is its owner fighting with it over its wife?
But Jiang Xianwan likes it!
You can't force a relationship to be happy, even if he's the owner!
She said, sounding wronged, "But she likes me, and I've already given her the betrothal gifts!"
It's not unacceptable.
Its scales are unique; it has never been given to anyone.
They gave Jiang Xianwan five pieces at once!
It finally took a liking to someone and was planning to pretend to consider it for two days before agreeing to be with her, but its owner actually tried to steal its wife away?
That's terrible!
Di Yin gently curled his fingertip, "Dragon Carp, I don't want to scrape off your scales."
Dragon Carp: "..."
The dragon carp's scales bristled. Not daring to disobey him, yet feeling incredibly wronged, it plunged its head into the water. "I finally like someone, and you're trying to steal him from me!"
Now look what's happened! The master and servant finally developed feelings for each other, but it turns out they both like the same person!
How hurtful!
"There has to be a first-come, first-served order! You're taking away what the fish loves! She likes me!"
"It's me!!!"
