Chapter 88 [VIP] Shadow Guard (2)

The time when Nan Yan entered this world happened to be the beginning of the plot. The current Shadow Guard Seventeen was not Zhao Shiqi, the prince of Pingnan Palace. He was currently just a shadow guard in the Shadow Guard Building and a servant guarding her.

As she thought about this, Nan Yan suddenly felt her lips slightly wet, as if someone had gently opened her lips and was breathing into her, carefully, again and again.

The person who gave her the energy was Ying Shiqi.

Nan Yan took too long to process the situation, which made Shiqi think that she had been suffocated in the river for too long and couldn't breathe on her own. He immediately began to rescue her, gently pressing her chest with his fingers, helping her heart and lungs to revive little by little.

When the other party came over to breathe again, Nan Yan subconsciously opened her mouth and licked the other party's lips, and even stretched out her tongue to slightly hook it. The moist and soft tip of her tongue carefully traced the outline of his lips like a dragonfly skimming the water, and even tried to slide deeper...

This made Ying Shiqi stunned for a moment.

How could a rookie who had just started out have seen such a scene before? His heartbeat suddenly accelerated uncontrollably. When he came to his senses, he almost subconsciously backed away.

Then he watched the girl lying on the ground slowly open her eyes. Her dark eyes moved slightly, then widened and she stared at him and said,

"Seventeen, you actually kissed me secretly?"

Although most women in the martial arts world do not care about trivial matters, Ye Nanyue grew up in Qixia Mountain Villa after all, and the concept of status and class is deeply rooted in her. Naturally, she attaches great importance to the reputation of women.

Ying Shiqi was slightly startled, but reacted quickly. He pursed his lips and felt the wetness on them. His facial expression did not change, but a strange and weird emotion was surging in his heart.

"No, I was just trying to comfort the young lady."

He paused for a moment, probably because he felt that this explanation didn't sound convincing, so he added, "People who fall into the water usually have their throats blocked by mud and sand, and they can't breathe on their own. I was just helping you breathe and keep your breathing unobstructed. I didn't mean to offend you."

Most of the shadow guards trained in the Shadow Guard Building are rather rigid, and the male protagonist is the worst of them. He has always been straightforward and stubborn, so when faced with Nan Yan's questioning, he naturally would not be obedient and plead guilty, but instead vigorously refuted that he had not done it.

Nan Yan snorted lightly, obviously unhappy. She blinked, and suddenly a cunning look flashed in her eyes, as if she wanted to deliberately bully him, "Nonsense, you just kissed me secretly! Do normal people need to stick out their tongues to breathe?"

When she said this, Ying Shiqi's face suddenly showed a very subtle, slightly weird expression, and his face turned slightly red. He almost subconsciously retorted,

"I didn't, and I wasn't the one who just stuck out my tongue."

He was so anxious that he even forgot to call her his subordinate. He just looked up at Nan Yan, feeling a little annoyed, perhaps because he felt that she was making excuses.

Nan Yan sat up from the ground. She touched her red lips lightly with her index finger and felt a slight sting. Annoyance immediately appeared on her face. She glanced at him sideways.

"You said it wasn't you who kissed me, then who bit me and caused the wound on my lip? Did I bite myself?"

Ying Shiqi naturally saw the wound on her lip, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. He didn't know if it was an accidental bump when he was helping her breathe. After hesitating for a moment, he didn't dare to refute it, and simply admitted his mistake honestly,

"It's my fault. Please punish me, young lady."

"Punishment..."

Nan Yan also recited it aloud, and a smile seemed to flash in her eyes. She thought that there was no need for punishment, but seeing that he admitted his mistake so honestly, her attitude naturally relaxed a lot.

So she tilted her head and thought for a while, then suddenly moved closer to him, put her hands on his arms, and went straight up to kiss his lips.

This action also made Ying Shiqi freeze.

The girl's soft body and faint fragrance almost made his mind go blank. His eyes widened and his pupils slightly contracted. It took a long time for his eyes to focus. He stared at Nan Yan in front of him without blinking. He was so nervous that he didn't even know what to do with his hands and feet.

Xiao Yingwei, who had no experience in relationships, had no idea what was wrong with him. He just felt his heart beating faster, as if all the blood in his body had rushed to that spot in his head, making him feel a little out of control.

Normally, if this happened, he would be finished.

He had received the most rigorous training in the Shadow Guard Building, especially when on a mission. No matter how difficult the mission was or how powerful the enemy was, the most important thing was to keep his mind calm, his body relaxed, and to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy when necessary.

But he doesn't know what's wrong with him now?

His limbs were too stiff to move, and his heart was beating wildly. No matter how hard he tried to control himself, his mind was in a mess and he couldn't calm down at all. Even his breathing became a little slow.

If this is when facing the enemy...

He may have been killed no less than a hundred times!

Nan Yan was still kissing him hard, but actually it wasn't really a kiss, she was just leaning over and biting him.

She licked his lips, and like a cat eating fish, she took two bites when she saw something interesting, biting and licking until she reached the corner of his mouth, then she bit hard, leaving a tooth mark the size of a grain of rice, and finally she backed away with satisfaction.

"There's no need for punishment. You bit me, so I'll bite you back. But, Seventeen, since you've flirted with me, you're mine from now on. Only I can treat you like this, and no one else is allowed to touch you like this. Remember that!"

After she finished speaking, she rubbed his face hard again, making his handsome face red, and she couldn't help laughing. Her slightly moist, rosy lips opened and closed slightly, and her eyes were full of smiles, shining like stars in the sky.

For a moment, Ying Shiqi only felt his throat itchy and his heartbeat quickened. He opened his lips but could not utter any words to refute for a long time.

He wondered who was flirting with whom?

Obviously... obviously she did it all by herself...

Could it be that he is also responsible for this matter?

Ying Shiqi pursed her lips and clenched her fingers unconsciously. Just when she didn't know what to do, she couldn't help but look down at Nan Yan. Naturally, she did not miss the teasing and amusement that flashed across her eyes.

Ying Shiqi immediately understood something, and felt a little embarrassed. She pursed her lips even tighter, and said stubbornly, "Miss, please be aware of your status and don't make such jokes again! I am just a lowly servant, not worthy of being yours."

Nan Yan knew from the tone of the voice that this person was unhappy. Haha, he looked quite capable and even dared to teach her a lesson.

She first looked up at him, seeing the serious and old-fashioned look on his face, and then she stared at him back and forth, until he felt uncomfortable and dared not look her in the eye, then she couldn't help but burst out laughing, "How come you are more old-fashioned than my teacher?"

"What's the difference between status and no status? Since I am the master, you must listen to what I say! Anyway, I don't care. If I say you are mine, you must be mine. Do you hear me?"

After Nan Yan finished speaking, she patted his shoulder vigorously.

Seeing that this person still refused to respond, Nan Yan immediately stretched out her claws again. Her slender and soft fingers kept licking her little Yingwei's cheeks, leaving a red mark with each poke. Little Yingwei wrinkled his nose, feeling dissatisfied but not daring to resist. That expression was truly pleasing to the eyes.

Nan Yan seemed to be amused by his expression. She immediately showed a smug smile on her face. There was a hint of intimacy in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows. She said in an intimate manner,

"Alright, we can talk about this later. Hurry up and help me up. I've been in the water for so long, I'm freezing. Go find a way to get me out of here."

Hearing her say this, Ying Shiqi breathed a sigh of relief. He looked up and took a look around. There was a dense forest downstream of the moat. The forest was rarely visited and the roads were difficult to find. It was not easy to get out.

Moreover, when he looked out from the tree just now, he found that the group of killers behind him seemed to have not completely given up the mission of hunting them down and were still searching non-stop. This meant that they were not completely out of danger yet, so they had to leave here quickly while it was still light.

Thinking of this, he immediately pulled Nan Yan up from the ground and walked downstream along the direction of the river. They walked for the whole afternoon. However, the two of them walked in circles in the woods for a long time and were unable to get out until dark.

Nan Yan had every reason to suspect that this man was seeking revenge by deliberately taking her around in circles, even saying that he was the undisputed number one killer in the Shadow Guard Building. He wasn't even afraid of getting his tongue snagged when he was bragging. This man was clearly a complete idiot.

When the two of them passed by the familiar river for the third time, Nan Yan couldn't help herself and glanced at him with a resentful look in her eyes, "Shiqi, don't you think this road looks familiar? It seems like we have been back and forth three times."

Seventeen pursed his lips, his eyes wandering, feeling guilty and not daring to meet her gaze, but he still stubbornly replied, "I'll find the way soon."

"You said the same thing two hours ago! Seventeen, when you said that, did your conscience really not hurt?"

The man frowned, turned his head and looked at her seriously, and replied in an extremely serious tone, "I'm not injured, why does my conscience hurt?"

Nan Yan: “…”

What he said made so much sense that she was speechless.

Well, there is a shadow guard who is particularly sincere and will not lie, and she finds that she needs to have a particularly strong heart.

So I just stopped and didn't move.

Now it was Seventeen's turn to be helpless. He turned around and looked at her with a hint of confusion in his eyes, "Why don't you leave? It's getting late now. If you don't walk faster, there might be wild wolves in the jungle that will come out to hunt you at night."

If he were really besieged by a pack of wild wolves, he wouldn't be able to guarantee that he could keep her safe.

"I can't walk anymore." Nan Yan's eyes moved, staring at him with resentment in her eyes.

The two of them fled all the way here from Tianxiang City and had not eaten anything since morning. He was an adult man who also practiced martial arts, so his physical strength could naturally last longer than hers. But it was not easy for her, a weak woman with no power at all, to hold on until now.

"Come here and carry me." Nan Yan pursed her lips and said, then immediately gave the person a look for help.

Hearing this, Ying Shiqi didn't hesitate at all. He turned around and walked to Nan Yan and squatted down. The duty of a shadow guard is to do his best to protect the master's life. In addition, he must obey all the master's orders. What's more, for Shiqi, carrying someone on his back is not a difficult task.

But he probably underestimated the noisiness of this master. She was just talking, but why did she always like to blow into his ears? She also liked to rub his face, and her hands kept playing tricks on his face. Seventeen didn't pay attention and even had a few strands of his hair pulled out by her. It was really a headache.

For example, now, Nan Yan was lying on his back, pinching his earlobes with great interest. As she was pinching, her eyes lit up as if she had discovered something interesting, and she almost pulled his ears off.

"Hey, Seventeen, I noticed a rice-sized cinnabar mole behind your ear. Is this a mark you've had since childhood?"

I really don’t know about this seventeen.

He had been a member of the Shadow Guard Building ever since he could remember. The only thing he wore to prove his identity was probably the half jade pendant around his neck. As for the mark she mentioned, he knew nothing about it.

So I answered honestly, "I don't remember."

Nan Yan was not angry after hearing this. She smiled and rubbed his ear gently, unconsciously with a hint of soothing. She put her cheek close to his ear and rubbed it gently, and said in an exceptionally soft voice,

"It doesn't matter if you don't remember it. I'll just remember it later. Anyway, with this mark, no matter what Seventeen looks like in the future, I'll be able to recognize you at a glance."

She said this and rubbed the back of his neck with a smile.

Seventeen pursed his lips subconsciously, and the accumulated frustration in his heart was quickly dispelled by these words.

Nan Yan had only mentioned it casually, but she had no idea that the other party had truly taken it to heart.

This was probably the first time someone said such words to him, and she was different from those people in the Shadow Guard Building, which made him feel very novel, even a little touched, and his heart felt warm.

Everyone will have an inexplicable deep impression of the first person who is willing to put them in their heart, and the same is true for Ying Shiqi now.

But this emotion also contained something else, something very subtle, elusive, and very special, which made him feel a tingling sensation in his chest.

Seventeen's reaction to this strange emotion was still a little slow. He actually didn't quite understand what was wrong with him. Anyway, whenever he felt something strange in his chest, he would simply purse his lips and not say a word.

But even if he didn't say anything, the person on his back couldn't stop talking. She started asking those weird questions again, and she even called it caring about the daily life of her subordinates:

"Seventeen, how old are you this year?"

"Okay, so do you have a crush on someone?"

"No, but does he have a wife or concubine at home?"

"No, then what type of women do you like? Tall, short, fat, or thin?"

Seventeen was listening seriously at first, but he frowned as he listened further. Then he felt more and more strange and his expression became weird. Is this really a question that masters who care about their subordinates would ask?

What kind of master would care about the marriage problems of his subordinates and ask in such detail?

He thought about it and replied honestly, "I prefer people who talk less. It doesn't matter if they can't talk."

Nan Yan: “…”

Haha, don't think I don't know you are implying me!

Nan Yan snorted softly, her eyes suddenly turned cold, she hooked her hands around his neck and applied a little force, her tone turned complaining, "Is it not okay for someone who talks a lot? You are a piece of wood to begin with, keeping silent every day, and now you have someone who talks less, are you two planning to communicate directly with your eyes in the future?"

The male protagonist was probably annoyed enough by her, so he became tough now. He turned his face away stubbornly and said, "I just like people who don't talk much."

Nan Yan couldn't help but chuckled, and simply pulled her hand away, and gently stroked his ear instead, her voice soft and soothing against his ear.

"Okay Seventeen, is it really not okay to talk too much?"

The honest Seventeen immediately wanted to say that it was definitely not possible.

The seniors in the Shadow Guard Building had already warned him that women are troublesome, and women who talk too much are even more troublesome!

What he saw before him had already proven his idea. Besides, how could women be as interesting as practicing martial arts and swordsmanship?

Seventeen considers himself to be very principled.

But listening to her soft tone, I don't know why, the "no" in my throat suddenly turned into "Not really...no."

After he finished speaking, he felt his ears getting hot, probably because she was too close to him, and the warmth from her lips was transferred to his skin, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
