He stared blankly at her, his lips numb from her biting them, and his empty heart seemed to revive, pounding so hard that his breathing became heavy.
I want her to always treat me like this.
"Ah Jin, does it hurt?" She stopped biting him and gently kissed him, her fingertips exploring the whip marks on his waist and abdomen. Her voice was tender and affectionate. "Aren't you silly? You've been gone from Nuanjiao Pavilion for a long time. You are Ah Jin, not Han Yun. You don't need to hurt yourself to please me. I just want you to be with me. I'm happy every day. I love you, Ah Jin, until death do us part."
His heart tingled from her kiss, and he found her voice so beautiful. He couldn't help but place his hand on her slender waist, his Adam's apple bobbing again. His red eyes seemed to hold molten lava, restrained yet poised to explode.
Since Bi Xie figured the man was out of it and wouldn't understand what she was saying, he shamelessly fiddled with the whip and said, "Ah Jin, you don't need these things to please me. You have no idea how amazing you are, especially amazing—"
As soon as she finished speaking, one hand gently went around the back of her head, while the other hooked around her slender waist, turning her around and pulling her down to lie beneath her. A hot, predatory kiss pressed urgently onto her, deep and passionate, followed by a hoarse murmur, "A-Xie."
"A-Xie, A-Xie, A-Xie..."
His husky voice was sexy and seductive; with each utterance, he lost control and tightened his grip on her arms.
“Ah Xie…”
Several years later.
No one knows who leaked the secret of this paradise, but whenever the peach blossoms are in full bloom, it becomes a famous tourist attraction. Many visitors climb the mountain to admire the flowers, compose poems, and always ask for a cup of water when they pass by the house.
Bi Xie also learned from these people's conversations that the new emperor of Ye Xi Kingdom was an empress, one of Si Jin's elder sisters. After ascending the throne, she overcame all opposition, reduced taxes, and worked diligently to care for the people. In recent years, the people's lives have been getting better and better, and the two countries have not fought each other again. They have even opened up trade and marriage between the two countries.
Bi Xie lived happily with Si Jin in this world for decades. Although they had no children, Bi Xie felt so happy that he didn't want to leave. His Si Jin went from not knowing how to cook to learning to cook, and from not knowing how to do laundry to learning to do laundry. He didn't hire servants because he only wanted the two of them. He spoiled her and indulged her, taking on all the responsibilities and becoming an all-rounder.
Every morning he would pick the freshest bouquet of flowers for her, showering her with romance and tenderness.
When she got older, she no longer wanted him to get up early every day to pick flowers for her. She didn't need flowers; she just wanted to spend a little more time with him in this world.
However, one day, she woke up to find the space beside her bed empty.
His spot in the bed was cold, so she knew he hadn't listened to her again. She sat up, got out of bed, and went to find him. The spring air was still chilly, and she wanted to leave quickly, but her body was failing and she couldn't walk fast. She could only ask Ru Hua for directions and then rushed over as fast as she could.
He lay in the thorny bushes, not knowing how long he had been lying there, clutching a bunch of forsythia in his hand, his legs bleeding profusely from the thorns.
She was both heartbroken and angry, her eyes instantly welling up with tears. She knelt down to push aside the thorny plants, and couldn't help but complain, "I told you not to go out anymore when you're old, but you wouldn't listen. I don't want these flowers anymore. I'm too old, they won't look good on my head..."
He felt a little guilty and chuckled softly, "Today is the forty-second anniversary of A-Xie's marriage to me."
"In my heart, A-Xie will always be a little girl, no matter how old she is, she will always look beautiful wearing flowers."
Bi Xie's tears fell like beads from a broken string, dripping down his face. "You're just good at comforting me."
"I'm just trying to comfort you."
Her heart suddenly crumbled completely. She brushed away the thorns, pulled him into her arms, and placed his hands against her chest. "Are you cold? Let's rest for a while and then go home..."
"Alarm! Alarm! The villain boss's heart rate has been detected as too low. Please complete the mission immediately."
"What happened?" Bi Xie frowned. "Didn't the villain awaken his vampire bloodline? Why did he die?" Aren't vampires immortal?
Ru Hua: "I don't know, but his vital signs are indeed fading."
Bi Xie glanced at Si Jin again, then closed her eyes in tears. Her mind was filled with the image of that spirited, stubborn, and sensitive young man who always wore alluring short shirts that revealed his fair legs. He would blush when she teased him, and he would jump into the icy pool to force her to reveal her identity. He would secretly rejoice and treasure a rose ring that she casually made...
He would prepare a small leather whip and wax for her to use on him because she was afraid of pain; he would go mad and kill everyone who stood in their way when she was imprisoned; and he would be so moved by her words, "I will not abandon you," that he would abandon everything and run away with her.
"Ah Jin, I want the most precious drop of your blood. Will you give it to me?"
"willing."
"Congratulations, host, on completing the mission. We have just received instructions from the Ghost Cultivator that you do not need to return to the castle after this mission. You will be directly teleported to the next mission plane. Please prepare yourself—"
Bi Xie frowned, wondering what the ghost cultivator was up to now.
Suddenly everything went black, and the familiar sensation of her soul being pulled from her body made her close her eyes tightly in discomfort.
After the dizziness subsided, she opened her eyes, enduring the lingering pain in her head.
Where is this? She paused, stunned.
Before her eyes, clouds and mist swirled, the sea of fog churned, and the sky was hazy. The wind blew on her face, and for a moment Bi Xie felt as if she were in a fairyland. She held an ancient gourd in her hand, and her two fair and slender legs peeked out from under her blue Taoist robe, swaying gently below the cliff, white and dazzling.
The fragrant aroma of the wine tempted Bi Xie to lower his head and take a small sip.
It was a bit strong, but had an indescribable, familiar floral scent. Bi Xie couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips. The original owner of this body was clearly a Taoist priest. Taoist priests can drink alcohol too?
"Ru Hua, transmit the original owner's memories."
Bi Xie took a few deep breaths of the fresh air at the summit, and then swung her two slender white legs down the cliff. As expected of the original owner, she was a cultivator. She had almost traversed the cultivation world before and could sense that the original owner had a pure Dao power within her. Judging from the sky, it was only the beginning of Yin time. She wondered if the original owner had been cultivating until now, or if she had just sat down to breathe and exhale for a while.
Ru Hua: "Host, there is no information on this plane. Good luck."
The gourd of wine froze at the corner of Bi Xie's mouth. She was so angry she wanted to roll her eyes. "How am I supposed to know what the original owner's wish was without any information? Ru Hua, bring out the ghost cultivator. I want to request a face-to-face meeting with him!"
"Please do not make trouble, host. The Ghost Cultivator has his own arrangements."
Bi Xie's lips twitched. She was being unreasonable? In her past life, she had never seen a transmigration novel where the host didn't receive the original owner's memories while doing a mission! This damn system.
"Then, my dear Ruhua, how can I leave this world?"
"As far as I know, there are villainous bosses in this world, which you can defeat. After collecting the blood droplets, you should be able to go back."
"Should?" Bi Xie wanted to swear, but she held back.
Feeling depressed, she drank a couple more sips of wine, and her body started to feel hot. Just as she lifted her leg to stand up from the cliff top, she heard a respectful voice behind her, "Senior Sister Qi, are you Senior Sister Qi?" The voice sounded like someone going through puberty, so she shouldn't be very old.
She turned around and saw a handsome young Taoist boy with his hair tied in a topknot. He looked about fourteen or fifteen years old. As soon as the boy met her gaze, he blushed and lowered his head, as if afraid of offending her. He said respectfully, "Senior Sister Qi, the sect leader requests that you return to Xuanyun Temple. There are important matters to discuss."
The sect leader said that only one person lives on Brahma Peak, and if he sees a beautiful woman, that would be Senior Sister Qi.
He never expected his senior sister to be so beautiful. Only two words came to mind: "beautiful as a flower and the moon, so stunning that the moon hides its face and flowers blush with shame."
Bi Xie couldn't hear the young Taoist's inner thoughts, but he could see his nervousness. What was he nervous about?
Sending someone up the mountain to look for her at this hour must mean something terrible has happened.
After pondering for a moment, Bi Xie, unaware of any plot developments, feigned composure and asked, "Did the sect leader say why he wanted to bring me back?"
"This..." The young Taoist hesitated for a moment, but still relayed what he had heard while serving tea to the Taoist masters of various temples to the senior sister who had been cultivating on Fanhai Peak and rarely showed herself. "Chengling heard from the sect leader and senior brothers that a small village in the west was attacked by a hundred ghosts at night, and the mountain-suppressing zombies made by various temples also showed unusual movements. It is feared that a powerful evil creature has descended into the world."
