Chapter 173
When Nan Yan heard this, she cried even harder. It was not because she was sad, but because she was angry, because she was poor!
But she was already so poor, and this bastard had cheated her out of a lot of her spirit stones, making her already poor life even worse.
Thinking of this, Nan Yan finally seemed to remember something and began to struggle hard. She pushed his chest and complained aggrievedly and sadly, "Get out of here, let me go! You said you didn't bully me, but you are so rich, you have artifacts, immortal stones, and palaces, so why did you bother with me for such a few spirit stones?"
"You knew that my cultivation was not high and it was not easy for me to make money, so why did you steal my spirit stones? Why did you team up with others to bully me?"
Nan Yan felt more aggrieved as she spoke, tears rolling down her cheeks. "You use my spirit stones while complaining that my cultivation is too low. I was the first to claim the bracelet, but you refuse to let me use it. If this isn't malicious, what else can it be? Who cares if you give me something now? Get away from me!"
Nan Yan is now starting to settle accounts with him. She didn't have the power in the past, but now she can finally get back at it. She has to get back all the old debts she owed him one by one.
Jing Wuyan felt a headache after listening to this. Those things were indeed his fault, but he also did them unintentionally.
He tried to hold her struggling hands, which hit his face several times. He took a deep breath and thought to himself that it was a good thing that his temper had been much calmer now. If someone had treated him like this in the past, Jing Wuyan thought about the situation and decided to forget it and not mention the past.
Jing Wuyan finally held her hand and pressed her tightly against his chest. The person in his arms might be tired of struggling. After resisting for a while, she finally leaned against his chest powerlessly and stopped moving.
Jing Wuyan breathed a sigh of relief.
He patted her back, trying his best to calm her breathing and emotions, and then explained to her in a low voice, "Don't be angry yet, I'll return all those things to you, isn't that enough? I didn't really want to take those things from you."
"The first time I used your spirit stones was totally an accident." Jing Wuyan narrowed his dark eyes, lowered his head and looked at people quietly.
He knew that she was emotionally broken at the moment, and his voice became slower and slower. "Yanyan, I have explained to you that the bracelet needs spirit stones to activate the formation. That thing was a mistake. Didn't I give you spirit plants as compensation? The other time, I just wanted to tease you. I slept in the underworld for too long and didn't store any spirit stones that are commonly used in the underworld, so I asked you for some. I didn't mean to go against you on purpose. Yanyan, what do you want me to do to completely forgive me?"
Hearing this, Nan Yan suddenly came to her senses.
She suddenly waved his hand away, stared at him coldly, and continued to accuse him angrily, "What do you mean by what you just said? Do you think I'm easy to fool? Didn't you say you have a lot of treasures, fairy stones and magic stuff weapons? If you exchange so many things with others, you can get countless spirit stones, right? Why did you snatch my little one?"
Jing Wuyan seemed to pause for a moment, his black eyes narrowed slightly.
He lowered his head to glance at Nan Yan, then looked away awkwardly, with a strange sense of guilt in his expression. "Well, it's not what you think. I didn't mean to deceive you."
Jing Wuyan felt a little uncomfortable. "When I first came to the lower realm, I left in a hurry and didn't have time to bring many things out. But you can rest assured. After my cultivation is restored, I will help you ascend to the upper realm. At that time, I will take you back to the Qingyou Divine Realm. I can find you any artifact you want."
Nan Yan was stunned for a moment after hearing these words, and then she reacted, my goodness, isn't this shameless man writing her a blank check?
Nan Yan's rage suddenly grew even greater, with an expression of grievance and resentment on her face. She suddenly raised her hand and pushed him hard, but the result was so unpredictable that not only did she fail to push him away, but because of the rebound force, she accidentally lost her balance and fell to the ground.
She was so angry that her face suddenly turned red. She felt that everything in the world was against her. Tears began to well up in her eyes again. She vented her dissatisfaction directly at the person opposite her, "Get lost! Get away! Who wants your things? You despised me from the beginning. I don't care about your hypocrisy. Do you think that if you apologize, I can forgive what you did to me in the past?"
"I hate your arrogant attitude. Get away from me. Don't touch me. Who told you to touch me? I hate you and I hate you so much!"
As Nan Yan kept cursing, tears began to slowly fall from the corners of her eyes again. This time it was not the uncontrolled crying she had before, but a silent, unrelieved sadness that surrounded her body. She cried helplessly, as if she had been abandoned by everyone, and even the sound of her crying was suppressed in her throat.
Jing Wuyan's brows wrinkled slightly, and he felt a little sad and indescribably soft in his heart.
He held Nan Yan, who was crying non-stop, in his arms. He could now feel that she was not angry because she hated him, but because she needed a way to vent.
By the end of her crying, Nan Yan seemed to have been drained of all her strength. She leaned weakly on his chest, tears streaming down her face like beads from a broken string, wetting a large area of her clothes and hair on her chest. Jing Wuyan had never seen her so heartbroken before. Even when she was accidentally injured by him and vomited blood, and her face turned pale with pain, she had never cried like this.
"Yanyan, please stop crying..."
But seeing her crying so sadly and pitifully, Jing Wuyan didn't know how to comfort her?
He just felt an inexplicable discomfort in his heart, as if he was stung by something, an indescribable feeling, a slight stinging pain.
Jing Wuyan didn't know how to calm her down completely, so he could only pat her back with his big hand and soothe her in an increasingly low voice, "Don't cry, Yanyan, if you keep crying, your eyes will be damaged. If you really hate him, I will help you get revenge, okay?"
He reached out to wipe her tears again, his fingers moving closer and closer, his lips moving slightly, with some unknown tenderness in his eyes.
He gently held her cheek with one hand, and the distance was so close that Nan Yan could almost feel the warm breath coming from his lips, and their breaths were intertwined.
Nan Yan was still heartbroken, tears kept falling. Jing Wuyan suddenly felt an impulse in his heart. He slowly went over and whispered, "Please stop crying. Things have already happened. Crying any more will only make you feel worse."
In the twilight, the night light outside the corner emitted a white glow, as if covering her skin with a layer of fluorescent light, and her tears became crystal clear. "Yanyan, why would you hurt yourself for someone who doesn't like you? What's more, your senior brother is not the only man in the world. If he doesn't like you, you can also look for someone else."
His intention when he said this was so obvious that it was hard not to know.
Sure enough, the next second, Jing Wuyan was silent for a moment, and then continued, "Can you look at me? Yanyan, can you be with me? In the future, I will accompany you, protect you, and help you improve your cultivation. If you are really unwilling, I can also help you teach him a lesson. I can give you everything you want."
After saying this, the person in her arms' body became noticeably stiff, and Jing Wuyan also felt her stiffness.
For a moment, the air became silent.
The sound of wind around them stopped. The barrier created by Jing Wuyan was naturally more stable than hers, without any cracks or holes. It was so quiet inside the barrier that even breathing seemed to have stopped.
Nan Yan's tears stopped at some point and she pursed her lips. When she raised her head, her gaze met that of the man with dark eyes in front of her. The look in his eyes was usually cold, but now it became inexplicably calm.
His expression was also very serious. He lowered his head and looked into her eyes. His hands were originally wiping her tears, but as he wiped, his fingers unconsciously moved down slowly and landed on her lips.
The soft touch made the corners of his eyes dilate slightly for a moment, and his hands' movements suddenly became gentler, with a kind of restraint. A confused and hesitant expression vaguely appeared in his eyes, and a delicate and soft emotion spread in his chest.
Then it drove him slowly towards her...
Jing Wuyan's breathing slowed down for a beat. He leaned forward unconsciously and slowly approached her face, as if he wanted to kiss her. But when he was about to touch her, he was ruthlessly slapped away by the person in front of him.
Nan Yan finally came to her senses, as if she was startled by his sudden action, and even forgot her sadness. She stared at him with shame, anger and annoyance, "What did you want to do just now?"
What do you want to do?
Jing Wuyan was stunned for a long while, and finally came to his senses. He touched his cheek which didn't hurt much. Her palm was soft and the force she used when hitting him was not strong. It was just that this situation was very similar to a scene that had happened before, which made him feel embarrassed.
However, this was not the first or second time that he had lost face in front of her. Perhaps because it happened so many times, Jing Wuyan no longer had any psychological burden about it.
However, he still felt an inexplicable irritation in his heart, a feeling of unwillingness that comes from wanting something so badly that one tries every possible means but still cannot get it.
Jing Wuyan frowned and stared at her for a long time.
The surging emotions in my heart could not be suppressed, but instead became deeper and deeper.
His eyes were still glued to her lips. After hearing her words, his brows knitted even tighter, but his tone was still so serious, "I saw you cried for so long, your lips seemed a little dry, so I wanted to help you hydrate them. It's not what you think..."
Nan Yan: “…”
It seems that the slap she gave was not too gentle.
Nan Yan was really impressed by him this time. She never thought that there would be such a shameless person in the world.
How could he come up with such a shameless excuse?
There was an angry look in her eyes, and her originally fair face was slightly red, with tears at the corners of her eyes. "Do you have any shame? Do you still have any sense of shame? How can you say such a thing?"
Nan Yan wiped her tears and grabbed his shirt. "Tell me, are you bullying me on purpose? You think I've been abandoned and no one wants me, so any man can touch me. Is that what you think?"
Now Jing Wuyan also knew that he had said the wrong thing.
He didn't know if an angry woman would easily get angry at others, but after hearing this, he subconsciously hugged her tighter, "No, I've never thought about it this way, Yanyan, I really love you."
"So what did you mean just now? Tell me the truth!"
There was a moment of silence on the other side. His dark eyes were slightly annoyed, and he clearly felt a little uncomfortable. "Maybe I was bewitched. Seeing that your lips were so soft, I wanted to give it a try."
After hearing this, Nan Yan finally couldn't help it.
He let out a "puff" laugh.
She had been crying, but with this smile she couldn't hold it back any longer. All her sadness and grief flew away, and she couldn't bring them back even if she tried.
Nan Yan was filled with remorse. She bit her pink lips and glared at the man secretly. If she had known, she would not have smiled. Now, her character of being immersed in sorrow and unable to control herself was almost ruined.
The man opposite saw her smile and his brows suddenly relaxed. He reached out and brushed away the hair stuck to the corners of her mouth with a very gentle movement.
Nan Yan also felt a little uncomfortable. Perhaps it was because she had never been so close to any other man except her senior brother, which made her suddenly feel a little uncomfortable.
As she laughed, tears seemed to well up in her eyes again. Although she didn't cry again, her mood was obviously depressed again.
She turned her head to look at him, her eyelashes drooping slightly. It was unknown what she was thinking of. Suddenly, she said softly, "I was in a bad mood just now, and most of the words I said to you were angry..."
Jing Wuyan also looked down at her, or rather, his eyes had hardly left her from the beginning.
When he heard this, the corners of his eyebrows twitched, and then his eyes relaxed, his facial features softened a little, and even his eyes were not as dark as before.
Then he uttered a low "hmm".
Jing Wuyan was not bothered by this, but her softening attitude made him feel indescribably happy.
"I don't blame you, and I don't mind you getting mad at me."
Nan Yan couldn't help but glance at him sideways upon hearing that, with a sullen expression on her face. It seemed as if she was going to lose her temper with people after hearing those words. Couldn't she just shut up if she couldn't speak?
"So I... hit you. Do you still feel pain?"
Nan Yan seemed a little guilty when she said this.
Jing Wuyan couldn't help but laugh this time.
He was originally of a very ugly appearance, and usually had a sneering and mocking look on his face towards everyone. He never had a nice word in his mouth, and had a cold and indifferent attitude as if he looked down on the world. He seemed mysterious, cold, and not easy to mess with.
But this time, her genuine smile was so touching, her narrow eyes slightly raised at the corners, matching the thin lips.
Nan Yan once scolded him for being an old man, but the man in front of her was not only young, but also had a unique beauty.
Jing Wuyan had held her fingers at some point and she looked down at the five soft and white fingers. She couldn't get away no matter how hard she tried, so she just let him do it.
Jing Wuyan's eyes flickered slightly, and seeing that she didn't stop him, he pressed on her cheek, "It doesn't hurt, but compared to the past when you always disliked and despised me, you can now say that you care about me, which makes me feel uncontrollably happy. Yanyan, can you touch me?"
Nan Yan pursed her lips and said nothing. Her jade-like face suddenly turned red again and she stared at him with a slightly annoyed look.
Jing Wuyan saw that she did not pull her hand away, but turned her head away with a blushing face. There was some surprise in his eyes. He thought that this person was so angry that he was going to slap him again.
But she didn't move, nor did she refuse.
Jing Wuyan realized this, and his gaze fell on her face again, slowly moving down and then stopping on her lips. He still had some uncontrollable thoughts in his heart.
"Yanyan?" He called her in a low voice.
Nan Yan glanced at him, and her peripheral vision easily caught a glimpse of a familiar figure, and her attitude suddenly changed.
Her gaze fell on the person next to her, and suddenly a trace of hesitation and confusion flashed in her eyes. Her eyelashes drooped slightly, and she quickly looked away.
Jing Wuyan could obviously feel the change in her attitude. His heart trembled slightly, and an indescribable joy suddenly surged in his heart.
He came closer and closer, his lips moved slightly, and the same unknown emotion appeared in his eyes again. He lifted her chin with one hand and looked over there vaguely.
This is an obvious tentative move.
If she resisted, he would naturally step back and let go. He was not the kind of person who would take advantage of a woman's misfortune and force herself on her. He did not want to and was disdainful of using such means to treat the woman he liked. He had approached her without her permission before, wanting to get close to her, probably because he was really bewitched.
But now he was very close to her, so close that he could kiss her lips just by lowering his head. Yanyan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she lowered her eyes slightly, but still did not push him away.
Jing Wuyan touched Yanyan's arm and slowly slid it down to her waist and back, with increasing force. Because of her acquiescence and obedience, his eyes became deep and dark.
He called her name again, "Yanyan..."
This time the voice was noticeably hoarse.
Nan Yan curled her fingers slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then held his hand. She didn't use much force, but this made Jing Wuyan stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't suppress his inner joy.
So Jing Wuyan couldn't bear it any longer, and finally bent down and kissed the lips he had longed for. They were thin, soft, and carried a certain alluring breath, just like in his dream.
And at the moment their skin touched, Jing Wuyan hugged Yanyan tighter and tighter, his breathing became rapid, because of a kind of palpitation and great joy and satisfaction, his heart began to tremble slightly.
The deeper he kissed, the more he wanted to grab more of that sweet and charming fragrance inside. The temperature of his body slowly rose. This unprecedented joy made him miss it so much that he was obsessed with it. He wanted to get more things to fill his own void.
I don't know when his hand pressed on the back of Yanyan's head. When she resisted and wanted to escape, he pressed her tightly against his body, refusing to let go.
While Jing Wuyan was gradually losing control and becoming addicted, Nan Yan closed her eyes and looked at the figure coming towards her with her peripheral vision.
After Feng Jixue had dealt with the subsequent matters, he was still worried about his junior sister who left alone.
He knew that this time it was his fault and he had let her down, so no matter how much resentment and blame she had in her heart, he could bear it. It would be dangerous for her to go down the mountain alone, and in that state, Feng Jixue was still worried about her safety, so he came to find her alone.
But he didn't expect to see this scene.
Feng Jixue clenched his fingers and just looked calmly at the man and woman kissing not far away. His face was expressionless, but the air around him was getting colder and colder.
He didn't know what was wrong with him? His love for his junior sister had clearly disappeared, so why did he feel so disgusted by that scene?
He was so blinded that he even wanted to rush up and separate the two people without caring about anything.
But he finally restrained himself.
Especially when I saw the cold eyes she gave me, my heart seemed to be grasped by an invisible hand, squeezing it hard. It was not a pleasant feeling.
If you squeeze too hard, you'll start to feel an inexplicable pain, which starts out as a slight sting.
But as their actions became more and more intimate, so intimate that his mind suddenly couldn't help but recall her confused and passionate look under him, her hoarse voice, her red cheeks, crying and calling him "senior brother", and the scene when she begged for mercy from him in a daze, with her legs weakly climbing around his waist. That picture became more and more profound and clear in his mind.
The clearer it was, the harder it was to forget. He clenched his hands tighter and tighter until it hurt. Finally, he stared at the two people not far away with a deep and dark gaze.
And now she is still nestling in another man's arms just like she did back then.
That slight pain somehow spread out, and the dense pain continued to spread from his heart to his whole body, making his chest more and more uncomfortable, until finally he even had difficulty breathing.
He didn't know how long he had been standing there, so long that his limbs became stiff. If he moved even a little, a numb pain would instantly spread from his limbs to his entire body.
It was as if countless ants were constantly gnawing at his body, bit by bit, pulling at his heart like needles, so that he could no longer tell what was going on.
Was it real pain coming from his body, or was it pain welling up from deep within his heart?
Is it because he is the cause of her current condition that he feels so bad?
Jing Wuyan naturally knew that Nan Yan was willing to relax her attitude and get close to him because she wanted to anger her senior brother.
But he didn't mind being used, and he was even willing for Yanyan to be intimate with him in front of her senior brother.
His cultivation is higher than hers. When he saw Feng Jixue's figure appear, he had already felt the strange aura and a hint of strong murderous intent behind him. However, he didn't quite understand what Feng Jixue meant now?
If he cared so much about her, why did he hurt her on the day of the contract? Not only did he make her give up completely, but he also gave others an opportunity to take advantage of him.
In the past, because that girl only had her eldest senior brother in her heart, it was futile for him to try hard. But now it is different. Now that he has the opportunity, how could he let it go so easily?
After the kiss that day, Jing Wuyan carried her back to her own yard. He did not do anything excessive. To him, this little girl was not even a fraction of his age.
She was too young, and had just experienced a severe blow. It would be too unscrupulous to take advantage of her at this time.
He would use any means to deal with any enemy, except for the one he cared about. He couldn't bear to see her regretful and sad look in the future, and he didn't want to only get close to her this once and never have the chance to get close to her again.
The veil between the two of them had now been torn. Their relationship was closer than with her ordinary fellow apprentices, but not as close as that with the one she cared about the most.
But it doesn't matter, he can wait for her to let go. After all, the thing a monk has the most is time.
…
After the contract was concluded that day, she, the junior sister, became the most talked about subject in the sect. Some people sympathized with her while others criticized her.
People who sympathize with her will blame the senior brother for not explaining things clearly in advance, which led to the current situation. People who blame her will think she is making a fuss out of nothing. After all, what the senior brother did was not excessive. No matter what the result of the interrogation was, he was willing to become her partner afterwards. It was she who refused to give in. Who can be blamed for this?
However, they only dared to discuss these matters in a low voice in private, and did not dare to say a word in front of the two of them. Especially after the eldest senior brother freed himself from the evil spirit, his whole demeanor and temperament were obviously much colder than before.
In the past, when the junior sister was around, everyone could still say a few words to him, but now even the junior sister has changed. She has become quiet and unwilling to pay attention to people. How could they have the courage to bargain with the senior brother?
During this period of time, the two of them hardly saw each other. Whether it was training or morning classes, the younger sister would not show up wherever the older brother was.
Even if they accidentally met on the road, the little junior sister acted like a stranger, pretending that she saw nothing and refused to say hello. Even when the eldest senior brother pursed his lips and wanted to go up to talk to her, the little junior sister had a blank expression and turned away.
This strange stalemate made the fellow students feel very uncomfortable, and everyone was wondering when the two would be able to reconcile. As for the fact that the two had now parted ways, some people were naturally glad.
In fact, Lin Qingshuang's thoughts were also very confused during this period of time. Ever since she heard Senior Brother Feng say with her own mouth that day that he was a love-sick person, she suddenly seemed to understand something.
I understood why Senior Brother Feng, who was closer to her in the previous life, ended up falling in love with the younger sister and even hurt her for her. It turned out that it was all due to the influence of a lovesick person.
She still remembered that day, after her senior brother untied the love piggy, the first thing he looked at was her direction. She didn't quite understand what that meant. If it was really as her senior brother said, and after untying the love piggy, his feelings for the junior sister disappeared, then would his previous feelings return to normal?
When Lin Qingshuang thought of this, she felt more and more entangled and unwilling. She knew what the knot in her heart was. She was unwilling to accept that she died because of him in her last life, while he had no feelings for her at all. Now she just wanted to find out whether her former senior brother Feng had ever liked her?
Was it because of the love-sucking that he hurt her in his previous life? Was it because of the love-sucking that he bewitched his mind and made him so merciless to her?
So, after struggling for a long time, Lin Qingshuang finally couldn't hold back the feelings deep in her heart and went to the place where her senior brother used to practice sword.
She wanted to know if this was the true meaning of her rebirth in this life? She had lived a miserable life in her previous life, missing many things and many people.
Especially on that day, when she watched Senior Brother Feng and Junior Sister Feng perform the bond-making ceremony again with her own eyes, an indescribable sadness and sorrow surged in her heart.
It is undeniable that she still cares about him in her heart. After all, he is her senior brother whom she has liked for decades. How could she give up on him so easily?
So when Lin Qingshuang saw Feng Jixue staring at the leaves in the bamboo forest again, she couldn't control the emotions surging in her heart for a moment. She rushed up to him and threw herself into his arms, holding his waist tightly with both hands.
"Brother, have you ever cared about me?"
Feng Jixue's body suddenly stiffened, and his thoughts were instantly pulled back from the chaotic memory. Seeing Lin Qingshuang in front of him, he subconsciously frowned, "What did you say?"
Lin Qingshuang's voice was a little trembling, as if it contained endless sadness, "Brother Feng, can you tell me why I was the first person you looked at after the love pig was released that day?"
These words also made Feng Jixue completely sober up.
When he saw Junior Sister Lin holding him tightly in her arms, his brows instantly furrowed even tighter. He didn't know why, but a vague feeling of irritation and discomfort rose in his heart.
He always loses focus when practicing sword recently, just now was the same. His mind is always confusedly recalling the past with his junior sister, making it impossible for him to concentrate.
Even when Junior Sister Lin rushed over, he didn't react in time, nor did he have time to push her away.
Feng Jixue took a deep breath and suppressed the irritability and impatience in his heart. He was about to reach out and push the person away, "Junior Sister Lin, if you have anything to say, you can let me go first..."
Unfortunately, before he could finish his words, he saw a piece of green clothes flash by on the path behind the purple bamboo forest.
That was obviously the green skirt that Junior Sister often wore.
At that moment, a trace of panic clearly flashed through the eldest senior brother's heart.
Especially when I saw the other person turning away without hesitation, the panic in my heart seemed to be growing.
He subconsciously pushed the person in his arms away.
