Geng Qi didn't know how long he had been asleep. He figured that not long after he fell asleep, Qing Han was brought out by them. During the few hours he was asleep, they must have tried everything they could to deal with Qing Han's unconscious state. When they were at their wits' end, it was indeed hard for them to react when they heard him make such a request.
It took Jie Beiying a while to find her voice: "Why?"
Geng Qi said, "I'm just guessing. If this guess is true, and you betray him again, you really aren't human!"
"..." He wasn't even human to begin with.
Geng Qi corrected, "It's not a scorpion."
"..."
He was either blinded by his own involvement or simply dared not believe that Geng Qi's guess was true.
Jie Beiying understood perfectly why he made such a request.
Holding the person in his arms, he raised his hand and gently stroked his cheek. Every time he woke up at midnight, the person was beside him, but he never dared to touch him like this.
If the dream is wonderful, and if he doesn't want to wake up, then continuing to sleep might not be a bad thing.
The crazy thought had barely crossed his mind when he hesitated for too long. Someone couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Are you going to kiss me or not? You're a grown man, why are you being so indecisive? A kiss won't hurt you. If you can't see me, I can help you out!"
Jie Beiying: "..."
He gently touched those pale lips with his fingers and slowly lowered his head.
Geng Qi thought to himself: No, don't talk nonsense, I'm just a little looking forward to it.
The scene was just like the Sleeping Beauty I had seen on stage. As the two got closer and closer, suddenly everything went black. Geng Qi was startled and subconsciously raised his hand. His feet were already off the ground, and he was being carried out of the flying boat.
He asked blankly, "What are you doing?"
Rong Yu said without changing his expression, "Do not look at what is improper."
"You knew it was indecent assault, yet you still let him kiss you?"
"...You let him kiss you."
"..." It seems that's indeed the case.
Geng Qi pouted, glanced back unwillingly, but couldn't see anything. Feeling a little disappointed, he turned to Rong Yu and asked, "What memories did you see?"
Rong Yu lowered his head, his clear eyes shining.
Geng Qi smiled: "Am I there?"
"Um."
Geng Qi snuggled into his arms and said, "Me too."
system:
Geng Qi: "No."
He also wondered why his so-called best memories had nothing to do with Rong Yu.
He used to stay at home and was truly carefree, but after meeting Rong Yu, although things were wonderful, there was also bitterness.
They first met in Gefeng Town, hiding their identities and harboring resentment towards each other. They fell in love on Pipi Mountain, but their feelings were shattered in an instant. Even after chasing her to Tianzhi Sect and ascending to Shangxu Peak, they were still uneasy and dared not tell each other the truth.
Returning to this secret realm, after wandering around for so long, even the time to be alone is pitifully short.
He looked up and asked again, "So how did you wake up?"
Rong Yu replied, "There is no 'after' in my memories."
Even the most beautiful experiences only last for a fleeting moment. Compared to the almost endless time that follows, that beautiful moment is indeed insignificant.
Geng Qi was moved, and the hands that had been roaming around in his arms quieted down.
He had always considered going to the ninth floor as a task issued by the system, but now he genuinely looked forward to the outcome of the task.
Only with results can there be more to come.
Inside the airship, the boy's pale lips had turned crimson, yet his breathing remained even, showing no signs of waking up.
Jie Beiying called softly, "Qinghan."
Because they were together all the time, he had hardly ever called him by his name. Now, the two words he uttered sounded completely unfamiliar to him.
Their faces were pressed together, and he called out to them again and again. Their skin was warm against each other, and even the pulse on their necks was clearly throbbing.
The boy was still sleeping soundly.
Jie Beiying smiled again, with a hint of self-deprecation.
How could he possibly have any of his fond memories?
Forget it, it's fine this way...
He straightened up slightly, his hand still covering Qinghan's warm face. A spirited face seemed to appear before him, and he murmured, "Qingyi."
The face that appeared was like a reflection in water, fragile and easily broken. Jie Beiying picked up the boy and was about to get up when he suddenly caught his breath. Instinctively, he gently pressed a spot on the back of the boy's neck, and the boy, who was about to open his eyes, quickly fell asleep again.
Supporting the body that had slumped against his shoulder, the usually composed Demon Realm Protector showed a hint of confusion on his face.
Geng Qi did not ask Qing Han why he had not woken up. Judging from the scorpion's calm demeanor, he was definitely not asleep in the illusion.
He didn't even think about asking what the scorpion had done. The fact that Qinghan was able to come out of his memories proved that his method worked. How low must his standards be to be able to wake someone up with just a kiss?
Geng Qi suddenly felt sorry for Qing Han.
But he couldn't say anything. To his surprise, after Qinghan was alright, Jie Beiying was in trouble.
He always stares blankly at Qinghan with those lifeless eyes, and even his reaction time is a beat slower when faced with danger.
No one had time to worry about anything else. Geng Qi looked at the raging storm outside the flying boat barrier. The danger they faced was completely different from that of the previous six levels!
"It's only one level lower, so why is the spiritual pressure so much heavier?"
Putting aside the other dangers in the seventh level, the spiritual pressure alone is something that anyone without a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivation level absolutely cannot withstand. The speed of the flying boat was also getting slower and slower. Rong Yu tightened his grip on his palm and said with a deep look, "The records of the various sects about the Desolate Swamp Secret Realm only cover the first six levels."
