Chapter 216 Fengyue
Chapter 216 Fengyue
The mountain was very quiet, with the occasional chirping of insects and lush trees. Ruiyang talked and laughed all the way with me to the entrance of Xueyun Cave.
I turned around, thanked him and let him go back first.
He opened his eyes wide and asked curiously: "Girl, can you go back by yourself later?"
I nodded. "Don't worry, Xiao Hui is here to pick me up. He has something urgent to do, so I asked you to come with me. He will come to pick me up after he finishes his work. I won't waste your time by letting you stay here. Go back and have a rest."
Ruiyang had no doubts, not knowing that I knew Xiaohui was on duty last night and was catching up on sleep, so I lied to him because he would not catch me walking around the mansion. I have a puppet to accompany me when I go back, so I am not afraid of the dark night and strong wind.
He bowed and said, "That's good. Be careful, young lady. I'll go back first."
I waved my hand: "Go back, go back, and be careful on the road too."
Only after I saw his figure disappear into the woods in the distance did I turn around and walk into the Xueyun Cave.
There was a faint light in the cave, but it was not as bright as the first time I came here. I walked into the inner room and saw that there were no candles lit, only the night pearls were glowing.
The puppet sat upright in the middle of the pool, its skin as white as snow, and reflected by the light in the cave, it seemed as if there was a faint halo around its body.
My face flushed, and I recalled the last time I came here. Although we were more well-behaved, we actually soaked in this pool together. He helped me detoxify, and I was full of life, and my body was like ice and fire. I was so embarrassed that I had a nosebleed...
The sound of splashing water brought me back from my memories. I saw him move to the edge of the pool, stretching out a jade-white arm to rest on the pool wall, dripping a few drops of crystal clear water from his light pink fingertips, his wet hair stuck to his face, and he half-raised his eyes and said, "You're here?"
I wondered what was wrong with this puppet, not only was it becoming more and more like the real owner day by day, but he had also learned 99% of my seductive charm.
I licked my lips, forced a smile, and replied, "Well, here I am. How's your investigation going? Is there any room for maneuver to get rid of my cheap cousin?"
He groaned in silence. At this moment, I heard the sound of wind blowing outside, the sound of branches and leaves being blown, and the chirping of insects all stopped.
I took a few steps forward, squatted by the pool, stirred the water, and asked him again: "What should we do?"
He looked up at me with a burning gaze. "You are mine. What can he do? He can only give you more money to send you away. I don't believe he can't figure out which is more cost-effective for him to continue living a poor life with you, or to use the money that is much more than what you have saved to buy a house and land and find a few other beautiful women to accompany you."
I heard that his tone was different from usual, so I said "Huh?" and opened my mouth to ask again, but he suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled me down like lightning.
I fell into the water with a "plop", but I was thinking in my heart, "No way, can this puppet read minds? Otherwise, it must learn to act like a puppet for once in a scene that only Tu Shanjing and I know about."
After thinking this, I fell into his arms. A familiar scent of white sandalwood was evaporated by the pool water and went straight into my nose.
I held his chest with one hand, wiped the water off his face with the other hand, and said angrily, "What are you doing?!"
He looked down at me, his eyes reflecting the glittering light of a pool. A drop of water dripped from his chin, falling onto my cheek with heat, and I couldn't help but shudder.
"It's me." His clear voice sounded, gently tickling my ears like a feather.
"Ah?" I widened my eyes.
He waved his hand and drew a heart shape in the air with his spiritual power, and said with a smile: "Don't think about the test, it's really me."
The spiritual light then fell like raindrops, and the stars fell on the water, flashing a light blue afterglow as the water ripples.
In the star-filled light, he held my shoulders and pressed down on me.
He pushed me into the water, and instantly I was enveloped by a pool of warmth.
His hands were slender but domineering, not allowing me to break free.
His face enlarged before my eyes and I could hear my own frantic heartbeat.
The world is a warm sea of sky, with an overwhelming indulgence.
He is the light that shines into the sea.
His lips are softer than water, warmer than water, and more lingering than water.
The corners of his eyes were slightly red, and he looked as innocent as a fairy descended to earth.
His eyes were dark and full of dominance that I could not refuse.
When his hand rested on the back of my head, my whimpers and slight struggles disappeared into the hot spring.
"Cough cough cough!" I held on for a short while before I surfaced and coughed loudly.
He also emerged from the water, his floating black hair looked like seaweed, with a hint of the elf-like charm.
"You, when did you come back? Cough cough cough! You scared me to death!" I scolded him while coughing.
He hugged me shirtless from behind, resting his chin on top of my head, and a deep voice came from above: "I just want to give you a surprise. How is it? Does it look like Nie Xiaoqian?"
I couldn't help laughing. Xiaoqian was the one on top, but I was the one on the bottom. However, I had the same good fortune as Ning Caichen, so I understood why he was so infatuated. Anyone would be confused.
"Ahem! I am quite surprised, but am I happy——"
He turned me around and lifted my chin: "How?"
I didn't dare look at him, I turned my head away and said what was on my mind: "Since I have met a gentleman, how can I not be happy? *"
I caught a glimpse of him curling up the corners of his lips. He held my face with his hands, his palms were warm, and he leaned over to rub my nose intimately.
I raised my hand to gently block his face, and finally took a breath: "Wait a minute! I haven't told you yet that the plate of peach blossom cake was bought by Qingyue."
He bit my finger gently, exhaled a puff of moist hot air, and murmured: "It's already this time, and you still have the mind to say anything else? When I was away, I often regretted that I was not sober the first time with you--"
I looked down and my face immediately turned red with shame. I felt a little sorry for him, but I really missed him, so I stayed sober and let him go.
The sound of insects chirping outside the cave began again, and the cave suddenly became filled with a sense of joy and excitement, stirring up the spring water. The water surface shook gently at first, and then it began to surge like a storm on the sea, and the water in the pool overflowed. I felt like a small boat drifting in the sea, up and down.
Fortunately, the green-eyed fox by the pond was made of stone, otherwise it would have blushed and closed its eyes, too embarrassed to look.
I don't know how long it took, I panted and pushed his smooth shoulders: "You, you stop for a while, I'm tired."
He let out a long "hmm" and stopped obediently. He then put his arms around me and kissed me on my neck and shoulders.
