Chapter 129: Master, don’t run!
The moment someone took Qiao Wan's hand, she froze. She subconsciously followed the person in front of her, but her mind was blank.
Feeling that the attention of the people around them was slowly shifting to the two of them, a layer of pink blush appeared on Qiao Wan's fair face, and her small, jade-like ears also gradually turned red.
However, the person in front of him was extremely calm and composed, striding forward as if no one was around, as if no one else was watching him.
Qiao Wan was not so calm. Being stared at like this, she felt a tingling electric current coming from their clasped hands, penetrating through her limbs and reaching her pounding heart. She felt so hot all over that she couldn't help but weaken the strength in her legs.
The two walked like this for a while, and then the whispers of people gradually began to be heard around them. Being so close, no matter how quietly they spoke, she could clearly hear her name and Fei Fei Junzi being mentioned in the conversation mixed with gossip. It wasn't just her illusion, she even felt a faint, scorching gaze coming from behind her, and their clasped hands were also being burned by everyone's gaze.
Qiao Wan felt a little uncomfortable. Although as the eldest daughter of the Qiao family, it was common for her to be the center of attention and discussion, but for some reason, she just couldn't stand this kind of gaze now.
She subconsciously paused, struggled a few times, and tried to pull her hand back, but the man not only did not let go, but held it even tighter, and even stopped, turned around and leaned over to look at her.
He raised his beautiful peach blossom eyes slightly, and looked at her with burning eyes: "Madam, what's wrong? Did your husband walk too fast?"
"Ah?" Qiao Wan subconsciously looked up when she heard the voice, and saw warm sunlight shining from behind him, adding a few rays of radiance to his white clothes. A breeze blew by, and the peach tree next to him swayed and dropped petals.
In this dreamlike scene, Qiao Wan only felt that the man in front of her was extremely handsome. Her breathing stagnated slightly and her heart trembled slightly.
It took Qiao Wan a long while to come back to her senses after being stunned. She quietly lowered her eyelashes, ignored her ears that were burning terribly, tried to calm her panicked heartbeat, pursed her lips and whispered, "It's not convenient to hold hands like this, I'd better go by myself..."
After she finished speaking, she waited for him to express his opinion, but she didn't hear any sound for a long time. Qiao Wan looked up at him nervously.
Then she met Xie Fei's gaze. He looked at her quietly. Qiao Wan began to feel flustered for some reason, and even became a little nervous and at a loss.
Did she displease him?
Alas, people were afraid that she would get lost, so they kindly took her away, but she didn't know what was good for her... It's really hard to understand.
Qiao Wan felt a little regretful.
Just as she was getting more and more nervous and her thoughts were drifting further and further away, Xie Fei finally spoke. His voice was light, but if you listened carefully, you could feel a teasing smile in it: "So that's how it is. I blame you for not thinking it through and causing you so much trouble."
Qiao Wan felt relieved when she heard that, and then she said with a smile: "No, it's not your fault...ah!"
Unexpectedly, Xie Fei interrupted her before she could finish her words: "In that case, I will carry you away."
As he spoke, he exerted a little force with his hands and pulled the two people's clasped hands. Qiao Wan was startled and after a scream, she was caught off guard and fell into Xie Fei's arms. Before she could react, Xie Fei had already picked her up sideways.
Qiao Wan couldn't help but hold his neck tightly with both hands. She seemed to hear his pounding heartbeat beside her ears, and his burning breath on her head. She seemed to be able to smell his unique scent faintly when she breathed... She could even touch his slightly trembling Adam's apple if she just raised her head slightly...
Obviously, the two of them were just a string of data in the game, but why... was her heart beating so fast?
Xie Fei held Qiao Wan and walked forward steadily. After a moment of silence, a louder discussion broke out in an instant, and the gazes on the two became more scorching.
Qiao Wan couldn't care less at this moment. She sat in front of the computer, staring at the figure on the screen in a trance.
Feifei gentleman...
As she silently repeated the name in her heart, her emotions gradually began to waver, and a clear idea involuntarily crossed her mind - she, Qiao Wan, seemed to have fallen in love with someone without realizing it, a person whose name and appearance she didn't even know.
While Qiao Wan was thinking, Xie Fei had already carried her to the gang's base. As soon as the two of them stood still, the deputy gang leader Taoist priest ran over to them and said, "You are finally here, why don't you just pass on the message--"
Before he could finish his words, he was frightened by the gang leader's cold glance and swallowed the word "send" back.
The scene was a little awkward for a moment. The Taoist priest laughed dryly at the two of them, and quickly thought of an excuse to slip away. He clearly saw the gang leader and his wife being affectionate with each other. He was really courting death. Why did he run so fast to die?
As he thought about this, he also took the time to glare at the gang members who were watching the fun around him. These people were so unloving that not only did they not help him think of a solution, they also stood by and waited to laugh at him.
Fortunately, it was exactly ten o'clock at this time, and a golden message was refreshed in the world channel.
[World] System: The Petrified Demon King learned that all the lovers have joined forces to attack him in order to save Yue Lao. In anger, he set up a trap and waited for the challenge of all the warriors. Couples, please take up your weapons to destroy the Petrified Demon King. If you succeed, Yue Lao will reward you handsomely.
At the same time, the entire hidden canyon in the mountains began to emit bursts of rumbling sounds. From time to time, large and small stones slid down from the top of the mountain and hit the ground, raising a cloud of dust. Everyone covered their noses and lips and coughed a few times. After the dust settled, they saw the narrow mountain stream moving slowly to both sides. After more than ten seconds, a wide road appeared in front of them.
The avenue was covered with flowers and plants, with a few butterflies flying around. Water dripped from the mountains on both sides, forming small pools on the ground.
The distance of the avenue was shrouded in a thick white fog. Nothing could be seen. It was even eerily quiet.
Faced with these two extreme contrasts, no one dared to take the first step and they all looked at the leaders of the major gangs standing in front.
Although Xie Yanli's gang was not among the top three in the whole server, it was still a big gang. And he was willing to spend money this time, so he bought a location that was right opposite to Xie Fei's gang.
He naturally saw the scene where Xie Fei carried Qiao Wan to the gang base just now.
Looking at the two of them being so affectionate, he couldn't tell how he felt, but he just felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
She wasn't this shy when she was with me...
Xie Yanli was thinking bitterly in his heart, but his face remained calm. Song Yuchen beside him glanced at him secretly, and felt relieved to see him like this, but he didn't notice that his eyes glanced over there from time to time.
In fact, Xie Yanli didn’t know what was wrong with him. Ever since he met Qiao Wan the day before yesterday, he couldn’t help but recall her every move at that time from time to time.
During these three days, apart from taking advantage of the time to kill monsters and level up, he spent the rest of the time in a daze recalling the scenes of his past interactions with Qiao Wan. Even when Mo Yu complained that he had neglected her, he didn't care much. He just said a few perfunctory words of comfort, turned around and took out his phone to read the messages that Qiao Wan had sent him before. He couldn't help but wonder in his mind if he was with her at that time, would she also show that charming look.
Xie Yanli already had some thoughts in his mind, and just now he saw Qiao Wan being held in the arms of another man. The suppressed resentment and jealousy in his heart suddenly surged to his mind at this moment.
Glancing at the motionless Fei Fei Junzi, he secretly spat in his heart, "What kind of number one expert in this server is this? He just got the title for nothing." Then he lifted his sleeves and strode forward, saying loudly, "Everyone follow me!"
Seeing that someone had finally taken the lead, the other players all shouted in agreement, "Let's go!"
The person Qiao Wan hated the most at this moment was Xie Yanli. Why did she see him in such a limelight? She immediately turned her head and looked at Xie Fei anxiously, opening her mouth to urge him.
Xie Fei smiled and glanced at her, then shook his head slightly without leaving a trace, leaned over to her ear, and whispered softly, "No hurry."
Qiao Wan was startled, her little face flushed. She lowered her eyes slightly, looked at the hands that had been clasped together again without her knowing when, and said "hmm" softly without saying anything else.
While the two of them were being affectionate and affectionate, Xie Yanli's side suddenly started to shake violently.
[World] Petrified Demon King: Hahahaha, you dare to come to my territory, the Petrified Demon King, and act wildly. You are really tired of living! I often prepare a big meal for you, hahahaha...
Immediately afterwards, those who couldn't wait to follow Xie Yanli into the valley shouted in surprise: "Ah - my blood, nurse, give me blood quickly!"
"Why isn't the magic potion for removing debuffs working? What should I do? I've been hit by a debuff that reduces my defense by 10% before I even meet the Demon King. It's going to last for another three hours!"
…
Seeing this scene, the people who were rushing forward suddenly quieted down. Qiao Wan also blinked in shock, and then looked at Xie Fei in disbelief: "Did you know this would happen?"
"I guessed." Xie Fei nodded calmly, "The system has a hint."
Qiao Wan was a little confused, and asked blankly: "Guess? How can you guess? Why can't I see it?"
Xie Fei smiled and touched Qiao Wan's little head, then curled his lips and said, "Silly."
"I'm not stupid." Qiao Wan glared unconvincedly, slapped his claws away with one hand, pointed at those screaming and howling people, "They are stupid."
"Yeah." Xie Fei nodded and chuckled twice. Under Qiao Wan's glare, he answered seriously, "There was a server-wide event on the Qixi Festival before. After the system announced the start of the mission, the mission target would speak in the world to provide the players with coordinates. Only then did the mission truly begin."
"That's all?" Qiao Wan curled her lips in disdain. "They're not stupid, they probably didn't participate in the last event, so they don't know."
This is the case with Xie Yanli. As far as she knows, he entered the game a month after the game was launched.
