Chapter 172 Qingyan is Totoro
Qian Jingyao frowned slightly, still looking helpless, and said to Xia Yueke:
"Yue Ke, in this situation, I can't even soak in the hot spring properly, so how can I care about whether it looks good or not?"
Xia Yueke waved her hand nonchalantly, and then said to Qian Jingyao:
"Hey, Yaoyao, just take a closer look. I think Qingyan's beast form is much better looking than before."
After hearing what Xia Yueke said, Qing Yan raised his drooping head slightly, and a hint of expectation ignited in his eyes. He was waiting for Qian Jingyao's response, hoping that Qian Jingyao would also agree that his beast form looked good.
Qian Jingyao looked Qing Yan up and down, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he said with a hint of ridicule:
"Well, it's a bit more energetic than before. But it looks more naive than pretty, like a strange little beast that's just escaped from some mysterious forest. If it were in a herd of animals, it would probably attract a lot of attention with its unique appearance. Of course, it would be curious and inquisitive."
Qingyan's eyes, which had been filled with anticipation, dimmed a bit in an instant, his ears drooped unconsciously, and he muttered:
"I knew it, you must still be disgusted with me. What do you mean by naive? You're just saying I'm stupid."
His huge body swayed slightly, causing the water in the hot spring to ripple, as if he was venting his dissatisfaction and grievances. Then he shrank into the corner in a huff, buried his head between his forelimbs, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed. He secretly glanced at Qian Jingyao and Xia Yueke, and hummed from time to time.
Xia Yueke held her chin with one hand, frowned slightly, and the scene of her first sighting of the blue flame beast emerged in her mind.
That appearance was simply a "disaster", with disproportionate body proportions, messy fur, and an indescribable wildness that made her unable to bear to look at it. Every time Qingyan approached and wanted to show his beast form, she quickly turned her head away.
"Qing Yan, have you done anything? Do you think you look much better this time?"
Qingyan tilted its big furry head, a hint of confusion in its eyes. As it moved, the fur on its body swayed slightly, as if layers of soft waves were rippling.
He tried to recall and said:
"No, you said you didn't like my beast form. I haven't changed since then, except... that time when I upgraded. It seemed different. However, I was afraid you would see it, so I immediately changed back to human form."
As he spoke, Qing Yan's voice was a little aggrieved and cautious, and his ears unconsciously shrank back, as if he was afraid that Xia Yueke would blame him.
Xia Yueke patted Qingyan's big belly and said, "Oh, it's okay. You must be looking better because you've upgraded!"
Qing Yan laughed when he heard this, "Hehe, really? That's great, then Yue, you won't despise me anymore..."
Xia Yueke's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she remembered something. She took out a hair brush and animal skin paper from her sachet and said:
"Qingyan, don't move. I'll draw your current appearance."
After saying that, he began to sketch on his own.
Qingyan tried hard to maintain his posture, not daring to breathe.
But as Xia Yueke's brushstrokes continued to move, the outline on the paper gradually took on a strange direction.
Qian Jingyao watched from the side, confused at first, then couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Xia Yueke was still concentrating on painting, muttering:
"These ears, this belly... Oh, why does it look more and more like Totoro the more I draw it?"
Qing Yan heard this and twisted his body anxiously:
"What is a Totoro? I don't want to look like a weird thing!"
Xia Yueke quickly stopped writing and smiled to comfort Qing Yan:
"Hey, Totoro is cute, not a weird thing. Your new look is unique in its own way, so don't be upset."
Qing Yan was still angry:
"I don't care. I don't want to look like Totoro. I want to look handsome and mighty."
Qian Jingyao came over and patted Qingyan's head gently:
"Well, no matter what you look like, you are our important partner. And this might be a special change after your upgrade. Maybe there will be more surprises in the future."
Qing Yan raised his head and looked at Qian Jingyao with half belief and half doubt:
"Really? You're not kidding me?"
Qian Jingyao nodded: "Of course it's true. After we get out, we'll study the secret of your upgrade carefully. Maybe it will make you stronger and more handsome."
Xia Yueke also echoed: "That's right, by then you will definitely become the most beautiful beast in the beast world."
After hearing what they said, Qing Yan's mood gradually calmed down, and he slowly moved out from the corner, but he still muttered:
"Then you must keep your word. However, I still want to carve the beast form on Yue."
Xia Yueke nodded, "Okay, since you look so good now, let's go to the wizard when we have time!"
When Qing Yan heard that Xia Yueke agreed to carve his beast form on her body, his eyes lit up instantly and he excitedly splashed around in the hot spring, splashing large amounts of water onto Qian Jingyao and Xia Yueke.
He wagged his tail happily, and it swayed in the water like a large palm-leaf fan, stirring up ripples in the hot spring water, while he shouted happily:
"That's great, that's great, I knew Yue Ke was the best to me!"
The three of them continued to soak in the hot spring, and the atmosphere became relaxed and comfortable.
After Qing Yan turned back into human form, his body was agile. He was a little shy but couldn't suppress his inner joy. He gently approached Xia Yueke, his fingers touching her arm intentionally or unintentionally, his eyes full of intimacy and attachment.
Xia Yueke's cheeks flushed slightly, but she didn't avoid it, with a faint smile on her lips.
Qian Jingyao leaned against the hot spring pool with his eyes slightly closed, seemingly enjoying the warmth of the hot spring, but in fact he was secretly paying attention to the interaction between the two, with an indescribable emotion rising in his heart.
After a while, Qing Yan became playful. He bent down slightly, scooped up some water with his hands, and slowly sprinkled it towards Qian Jingyao. The water droplets sparkled with crystal light in the air.
Qian Jingyao was splashed with water in the face. He opened his eyes helplessly and said in a feigned anger:
"Qingyan, you are itching for trouble again?"
Qingyan blinked his eyes mischievously, then dived into the water and swam flexibly underwater. Wherever he went, the hot spring water shook violently like stirred silk.
Xia Yueke was laughing so hard that she fell backwards. Her body unconsciously leaned towards Qian Jingyao, and her arm gently rested on Qian Jingyao's shoulder.
Qian Jingyao stiffened slightly, but did not move away. The corners of his mouth rose quietly, and his eyes became deeper and gentler.
Qian Jingyao's gaze was instantly ignited, and his deep eyes were filled with fiery emotions. He suddenly stretched out his strong arms and held Xia Yueke tightly in his arms.
Xia Yueke let out a soft cry, but before she could react, she was pressed tightly against that hot chest.
Qian Jingyao leaned forward slightly, eagerly searching for her lips.
When the four lips touched, it seemed as if sparks were flying in the air.
Qian Jingyao's kiss was passionate and domineering. He sucked hard, and the tip of his tongue gently pried open Xia Yueke's teeth, then went straight in, entwining and playing with her small lilac tongue.
Xia Yueke was stunned at first, then her body gradually became weak and she responded involuntarily.
Her hands slowly climbed up Qian Jingyao's shoulders, and she applied a little force with her fingertips, feeling the strength contained in those solid muscles.
Steam from the hot spring rose up and surrounded them.
