Chapter 116 Blessings I don’t want others to see you
The early morning sunlight was not very warm and could not shine into the narrow alley where they were. The courtyard next door was noisy and bustling, but it drowned out Xu Xingxing's thundering heartbeat.
Xu Xingxing hid in the man's shadow, forcing herself to ignore the damp breath that fell on her palm. She forced a stern face to meet the soft, yet weak, black eyes, and said coldly:
"Can't."
The man's eyes instantly went out, turning gray, but he did not withdraw. Instead, he took another half step closer, holding her tighter with one hand, and then slowly buried his lips in the palm of her hand. The next moment, Xu Xingxing suddenly felt a wet and smooth little snake sliding across her palm. Her body suddenly stiffened, and she wanted to pull her hand away, but he held her wrist even tighter.
Then the man kissed the palms and backs of her hands carefully and devoutly, licked each of her fingers and knuckles, and gently bit the tender flesh on her hands. The slight tingling and itching went straight to her heart, making her body tremble unbearably.
Xu Xingxing was held in his arms, and tears filled her eyes unconsciously.
She struggled to control her slightly disordered breathing, her mind filled with helplessness and roaring.
This is so fucking unfair!
My hands are itchy, my hands are itchy!
My heart is itchy, my heart is itchy!
What should I do? What should I do?
My legs are so weak!!
Stand up straight! Ah!!
Xu Xingxing felt a little desperate.
She knew that she had always liked him, and it was an irreversible physiological love.
Even though she ignored him, said harsh words to him, and thought about leaving him during this period, she always knew that deep down she didn't want to be separated from him.
Just like the time she spent in Taigu Mountain, although she was bored and disgusted, she was able to adapt quickly after realizing she couldn't get rid of it, and she didn't feel too depressed.
She is not someone who doesn't know how to resist.
She imagined at that time that if someone imprisoned her and monitored her everywhere, she would definitely lose her mind and fight to the death with the other person.
Just because it's him.
She knows.
But people always have to have a bottom line.
No matter how much she likes and loves him, she can't keep lowering her moral standards and let him trample on her moral bottom line.
She could ignore his past, and could use the excuse that she was not a person of this world to force herself to ignore the sin of killing he had committed, but there were always people she cared about. She had deliberately not thought about the unjust deaths of Cheng Xue and Fang Qi, and she really could no longer ignore the life and death of her uncle.
She knew it wasn't entirely his fault, he was just that kind of person, and in his eyes, human lives were no different from those of ants. But she couldn't keep living in fear that he would kill innocent people again because of her.
She would feel guilty, hate herself, and blame him for his bloodthirstiness and ruthlessness.
Fortunately, Master's condition has stabilized. Fortunately, we've found a way to save him. Fortunately...
As her thoughts were jumping and diverging in disorder, the man finally stopped and finally released her from the vortex of burning and frying. His beautiful and stringy eyes looked at her, slowly pressed against her forehead, and said softly: "Xingxing, I miss you so much..."
Xu Xingxing exaggeratedly rubbed her hands against his chest, as if trying to erase the arousing and burning feeling: "What the hell, whose hand did you just lick?"
Zhu Yuan let her rub against him, hugged her and said, "I don't want others to see you..."
Xu Xingxing was stunned. It turned out to be because of this matter.
Her heart, which had just calmed down, began to rise and fall again, and her words became subconsciously softer: "I just want to take a look. I have nothing to do with them."
"I don't want to." Yuan Yuan said stubbornly.
"Then why did you insist on staying yesterday? If it weren't for you, we would have been on our way to find Bai Ze." Xu Xingxing looked up at him and rolled his eyes, which was not very forceful.
This rather unseemly roll of the eyes somehow pleased Hou Yuan, causing him to lower his head and place a kiss on her eyes.
Xu Xingxing's heart was easily aroused again. She lowered her eyes and didn't look at him. She said in a muffled voice: "Let's go. The patient is still waiting for you."
"Just wait."
Wei Yuan acted like a spoiled child and hugged her even tighter.
"But my back hurts so much." Wei Yuan froze and loosened his grip slightly, but only for a moment. The woman in front of him lowered her body and slipped away like the wind.
*
In fact, there was no need for their help. In the morning, Xu Xingxing sat next to Wei Yuan and accompanied him in seeing patients.
Because his medical skills were decent and he didn't charge any consultation fees, a long line soon formed in front of the wooden table, and it soon became a unique and eye-catching scenery in Liu Niang's festive courtyard.
Xu Xingxing looked up at the man beside her. Yuan Yuan's light blue clothes made him look gentle and elegant. Sometimes he frowned slightly, sometimes he asked questions patiently, and sometimes he lowered his eyes to feel the patient's pulse. Not only did he not look impatient at all, but he looked very peaceful.
It seems like his side job is a demon god, and his main job is a doctor.
Especially when he met someone who praised the couple for their good looks and said they were a match made in heaven, Yuan almost had the word "good doctor" written on his face.
And Xu Xingxing finally understood the saying "Men who work hard are the most charming."
She was feeling extremely itchy now, and she began to regret why she had not agreed to let him kiss her just now.
Shit, she wanted to kiss him too.
This realization made her feel a little uneasy. Just as she was about to get up and leave, the old man who was examining the patient suddenly spoke up, "I heard from Lady Liu that you two came all the way here looking for medicine. But what medicine are you looking for? If I've heard of it, I could help you out."
Upon hearing this, Xu Xingxing smiled and asked directly, "Old man, the medicine we are looking for grows deep in Chengqing Lake, but I heard these past two days that there are no fishing boats in Tongcheng going deep into Chengqing. Why is that?"
Unexpectedly, the old man was shocked when he heard where they were going: "You went to Chengqing, but you want to go deeper? Are you trying to save your life?"
Hou Yuan raised his eyes and asked, "Why do you say that?"
"You don't know, Chengqing was a vast mountain range a hundred years ago, named Chengxu. When Chengxu was there, the mountain was full of evil cultivators. Those evil cultivators were not really human. It was common for them to capture people to make elixirs, cut out their hearts and skin them. The surrounding areas were full of starving people and wronged souls. Later, the god Ze came to the world and wiped out all the evil cultivators in Chengxu. It really hurt people's hearts!" The old man became more and more excited as he spoke, and he slapped his thigh when he said this.
Xu Xingxing was a little confused and reached out to stop him: "Wait...wait, old man, which god is Ze Shen?"
"Oh, it seems he's not called Zeshen in your place. What's his name? Lao Li?"
"Demon God!" The old man named Lao Li was still very indignant when he said this. "Some gods are born with two natures. It's not uncommon for gods and demons to coexist. This Lun is just overestimating his own abilities and insisting on going against the gods. If it weren't for the Ze God coming to this world, destroying Chengxu and creating this lake, how could the people around us live so comfortably?"
Someone else interrupted and said, "I heard that Ze Shen seems to be alive again recently."
"I heard that too! It must be because of the temple we built for the Ze God!"
"The Zhouchengxiu next door is bigger. Ours is too small."
"What's wrong? Sincerity is the key to success! Are the people in Zhoucheng as sincere as us? Aren't we closer to Chengqing than them?"
I don’t know how Xu Yuan felt when he heard these words, but Xu Xingxing was shocked again and again.
"Old men, are there no monsters causing trouble here?" Xu Xingxing asked nervously.
In fact, according to her observations over the past few years, although Zhu Yuan himself is mentally retarded, bloodthirsty and cruel, he generally ignores things unless they appear before his eyes. Therefore, his reputation in the Central Plains is so bad, mostly because the monsters under him are rampant and cruel.
The old man asked, "Monster? What is a monster?"
Xu Xingxing: ???
Mo Yuan suddenly added: "Monsters can't come here."
Xu Xingxing wondered, "Why?"
Hou Yuan looked at her, not shying away from the patients, and simply said, "The Demon God Hou Yuan was born here."
When he was born, monstrous demonic energy burst out, and just as what Old Li said, there was also overwhelming divine spiritual energy.
He was filled with hatred at that time, and subconsciously abandoned his divinity and embarked on the path of evil.
Therefore, this is probably the only place in the world that is protected by God's spiritual energy.
But when Old Li heard this, his face darkened and he said, "Doctor Xu, I know you don't like Ze Shen back there, but here we respect Ze Shen the most. You'd better follow the local customs."
Wei Yuan glanced at Lao Li, then lowered his eyes and said, "Sorry."
Xu Xingxing's heart trembled slightly, and she subconsciously grabbed the man's sleeve.
This was the first time that Wei Yuan apologized to anyone other than her.
The man froze, then reached out and held her hand, looking at her with eyes that were filled with ripples, making people feel at ease.
What is he thinking about?
She wanted to ask something.
But now the old man finally got to the point: "Old Li, Doctor Xu is an outsider after all, so don't be so rigid. Where was I? Yes, Chengqing covers a large area. The south is fine, but the north is covered with thick fog year-round. Many people who rowed boats into the depths of Chengqing Lake in the past never returned."
"Do you remember Mr. Li from South Street?" Old Li continued, "Didn't he just go away and never come back?"
"How long ago was that? Thirty years?"
"It's been almost forty years! We were still kids back then. I heard it was his mother who appeared in his dream, saying she was trapped deep within Chengqing and asked him to rescue her..."
"Can you believe this? He's really confused."
Everyone sighed, and finally the old man, Old Li and others earnestly advised them to be careful in their actions. Xu Xingxing agreed repeatedly, and the matter was finally resolved.
Xu Xingxing stayed for a while before being called away by several young sisters. Xu Yuan looked a little reluctant, but he did not try to stop them too much.
After much difficulty, they finally made it to the afternoon to pick up the bride. Liu Niang's grandson sat on a tall horse, followed by a group of people, and went to the bride's home.
The women then pulled her to join the wedding procession. One of the women was familiar with the bride, so she took them into the bride's home in advance, allowing Xu Xingxing to be the first to witness all the matters related to blocking the door.
Xu Xingxing had never experienced such a festive event since he came to this world. As a result, his nature was completely liberated and he had a crazy day of fun.
Of course, the genius doctor Hou Yuan was treating patients at home from beginning to end.
Just as I finished my work and wanted to look for her, I saw that the woman had returned with the wedding procession.
When the bride and groom were worshiping heaven and earth, the woman stretched her neck to watch curiously, while he stood quietly by their side, stretched out his hand, and clasped her delicate hand under his wide sleeves.
The woman curled her fingers slightly, but did not struggle.
"Bow to Heaven and Earth!"
With a loud shout, the surrounding chaos instantly turned into a subtle noise.
Finally, Wei Yuan's gaze shifted from the woman to the newlyweds in the hall.
The man in red had a shy look on his face, but he couldn't hide his joy.
Everyone's face was filled with smiles, no one was disappointed or opposed, and everyone looked at the newlyweds with joy and happiness.
He stood far away, yet seemed to be there, holding the woman's hand, as if it were his whole world.
Why did he agree to stay yesterday?
The reasons that seemed vague at that time have become increasingly clear at this moment.
Along with this clear idea, came the words that the woman had casually said a long time ago.
"Isn't being my husband enough?"
"But it requires three matchmakers and six betrothal gifts."
"Brother Demon God doesn't even want to marry me. He just keeps me locked up."
The woman looked at him with sparkling eyes, a smile on her lips: "Are you willing? Are you willing? Then I am willing to marry you."
I am willing to marry you.
He wants to marry her.
He had never seen a mortal wedding, but for the first time he felt the warmth and joy of human love.
He wants to be blessed by the world.
His wedding to the stars.
*
At the banquet in the evening, Xu Xingxing was pulled to a table by Bai Ri's sisters to eat together, and Wei Yuan was pulled to a table by the old man that Bai Ri was treating to eat together.
It was a lively and bustling place with people toasting each other with glasses. Later, the aroma of wine spread everywhere. Some people were inspired to write poems, some stood up and sang and danced on the stage, and some began to carry wine jugs to urge everyone to drink at each table.
Xu Xingxing also drank a few cups. He had practiced in the White Jade Room before, so after a few cups, he was a little tipsy.
A man came over with a wine jug and stood right behind Xu Xingxing. After toasting everyone, he came to Xu Xingxing. He put one hand on Xu Xingxing's side and raised his eyebrows and said, "Young lady, it's your turn."
Xu Xingxing raised her eyes half drunkenly and saw that it was the rich lecher that the little sister next to her had talked to her several times during the day.
Of course Xu Xingxing didn't drink. She knocked down her wine glass and said, "My husband won't let me drink more. He'll be angry."
The man was startled when he heard this, then smiled and said, "Your husband? Where is he? I'm afraid he's been drunk and passed out."
As he said this, he put his hand on Xu Xingxing's shoulder.
