"When did I tell you you were asleep?" Staring at her red and flushed face filled with nervousness, the corner of Shan Liancheng's lips curved upwards. He comfortably stretched out his arms, as if he had put down a whole body of fatigue.
Yun Qixi shrunk her body into the water and thought about how she would be naked and talking with a man in the same pond. This atmosphere was really weird.
Just like that, the two of them looked at each other through the spiralling water. Yun Qixi's mind was in a mess, she was extremely nervous, but the person in front of him had a calm and composed expression.
Because of the white mist, there were not even any sparks that could be seen. Yun Qixi felt that she was completely terrified and her intestines had turned green. She should have left when he was enjoying the spring with her eyes closed just now.
She was blind when she grabbed at the bottom of the water but could not get her hands on the clothes she had taken off.
She didn't know how funny it was for her to keep her head in the water, but she didn't dare to stick it out. Her hands groped blindly at the bottom of the water, anxiety gradually appearing on her face.
Then, when her panicky gaze stopped a short distance away, she froze.
Wasn't that her clothes? That included her very eye-catching pink apron. But, why was her clothes floating in Shan Liancheng's direction? At this moment, it was just within his reach. Could it be that they were attracted to each other?
Normally, she would have thrown herself at him. However, the situation was different now. She could only stare at her clothes anxiously.
At this moment, Yun Qixi felt more and more like the water in the hot spring had been boiled. It was no longer that comfortable feeling from before.
Then, she saw that Shan Liancheng's gaze seemed to inadvertently fall on that piece of clothes that was floating in front of him, as her eyes lightly narrowed. Yun Qixi suddenly swallowed her saliva. A drop of water dripped down from her upper eyelids, blurring her line of sight. She couldn't tell if it was hot spring water or sweat.
And then, under Yun Qixi's astonished gaze, Shan Liancheng lifted his long arm and fished out the clothes in front of him.
"Hey, hey hey," Yun Qixi shouted. Since she was under the eaves, she had no choice but to lower her head, hence she softened her voice, as if she was forced to curry favor with him, and revealed a smile. "Prince Jin, you took the wrong clothes, they are mine."
Shan Liancheng glanced at her sideways and took her clothes in his hands. As he watched the water flow down her clothes, a trace of malice flashed across his eyes.
"I'm not blind."
What did this mean? Judging from his expression, he clearly knew that it was hers, yet he didn't intend to return it to her?
Yun Qixi's teeth were chattering, "Hey, Prince Jin, make sure to leave some room for yourself so that we can meet again in the future."
The corner of Shan Liancheng's mouth curled up slightly as he swept his eyes across that nervous little head on the surface of the water not far away. As if he was extremely satisfied with everything he saw, the curve of his lips widened.
Why didn't I realize before that this cold and aloof prince is so evil? Too bad.
Then, coincidentally, Yun Qixi saw an item on the water surface that was getting closer and closer to him.
As if grabbing onto a straw that saved her life, Yun Qixi suddenly threw herself over, held it in her hands, and then quickly shrunk.
Her hair was a mess and she was in an extremely sorry state, but she was smiling brilliantly. The tension was gone, and she thought she had taken the capital to negotiate.
"Looks like there is no end to this world. Prince Jin, how about it, let's exchange?" She raised the clothes of the lord in his hands.
Shan Liancheng stared at her, his expression calm.
Yun Qixi laughed, "You are the dignified First Prince, how great is your image in everyone's eyes? You shouldn't need to wear women's clothes to go out right?
Shan Liancheng still did not speak, there was no panic in his eyes as he stared at her. Instead, there was a trace of interest, as if he was enjoying a one man show.
Yun Qixi laughed a little guiltily, "Um, my respected Prince Jin, this game is not fun, how about we stop playing?"
Seeing that she was finally begging for mercy, Shan Liancheng comfortably twisted his neck and suddenly stood up with a "Hua" sound. He thought that he would see a boy who would make people's heart race, so Yun Qixi stared without dodging, but he never expected to see water flowing from his muscular body to his black clothes.
He was actually wearing pants?
Under Yun Qixi's regretful gaze, Shan Liancheng lifted his long legs, left the hot spring, and stepped onto the shore. He did not look at Yun Qixi again, but continued to walk out calmly while wearing his clothes. The point is, he took her clothes with him.
Yun Qixi was so anxious that she was splashing water all over the place. She shouted loudly in the hot spring, "Hey, Shan Liancheng, don't go overboard."
The slender figure stopped and turned his head to look at the angry and embarrassed face in the water. The corner of his mouth hooked up sinisterly.
It seemed to be saying, why don't you come out like this as well? He withdrew his light gaze and really left without looking back, ignoring all the amazing curses she said behind him.
Seeing that her slim figure had disappeared behind the Reflecting Wall, Yun Qixi was furious. She slapped the surface of the water a few times with both of her hands, causing her intuition told him to spit out blood.
Holding onto the man's clothes, she had the urge to turn her anger into strength and tear his clothes into pieces. However, after thinking about it, she decided to endure it. Although the owner of the clothes was truly angered, it was the only thing that could cover her body.
She pulled the clothes out of shape, took a few deep breaths, and thought, forget it, this is the best way to get out of here. I might as well take a shower first.
After she finished her mental preparations, she threw her clothes on the shore and, imitating the posture of the previous lord, leaned against the shore, closed her eyes comfortably and enjoyed herself to her heart's content.
In any case, it didn't matter whether he enjoyed it or not. Since the results were the same, why not enjoy it properly? At the very least, he could be considered to have recovered some of his losses.
She did not know how long she had been soaking in the water, but Yun Qixi felt so comfortable that she had almost fallen asleep.
Yun Qixi suddenly woke up from her stupor, grabbed the clothes that she had thrown on the shore a moment ago, and stared at the Reflecting Wall in alarm. A green figure walked in from outside the Reflecting Wall.
Qing Li looked at Yun Qixi who was still in the hot spring. Her face looked extremely ugly, and probably it was with great difficulty that she managed to maintain her gentle appearance. She walked over to Yun Qixi, squatted down, and placed a piece of neatly folded female clothes on the shore.
It looked like that guy's conscience had yet to be eaten by dogs, but, he had found someone to give it to, and instead had Qing Li give it to him. Tonight,'s heart was already wounded, wasn't this sprinkling salt on his wounds?
"Qing Li, it was really hard for you to send me the clothes at midnight, thank you!" Yun Qixi said with a face full of smiles.
Qing Li's face became even paler under the shroud of the mist. After hearing Yun Qixi's words, she finally raised her head and stared straight at Yun Qixi, and for a moment, Yun Qixi felt that she couldn't hide the sharpness in her eyes, as if she was about to erupt with some kind of suppressed emotion.
But in the end, she only smiled and said, "No need to thank me, Miss Yun, you shouldn't soak in the hot spring for too long, you should quickly change your clothes and go back to rest. It's getting late."
After saying that, she indifferently opened her eyes and stood up to walk out of the Reflecting Wall. Yun Qixi stared at her back, feeling that her stiff back carried a kind of stubbornness and unease.
Did this grandpa do it on purpose? This Qing Li must have been by his side for a long time, how could he not know her thoughts? Could he be any worse?
She got to know Shan Liancheng again today. Not only was he cold, he was bad. This fact simply made her accept her incompetence.
Not long after Qing Li left, Yun Qixi had no intention to continue bathing in the water so she quickly put on her clothes and returned to her room. When she passed by the Jewel Pavilion, she couldn't help but take another look at it. At this time, there were several guards standing outside the Jewel Pavilion;
She guessed, Shan Liancheng was inside? The thought that he might have come here right after soaking in the hot spring made him a little nervous.
Go! Yun Qixi immediately shook her head, what kind of mentality did she have? What did it matter to her where he was?
Later, when she lied on the bed, Yun Qixi thought that her state of mind was probably because of her small sense of inferiority. After all, at first, when the two of them had been in the same pool, he hadn't thought about it at all. Although she would definitely beat him up if he really had any thoughts, he did not. Did this mean that she was truly weak? Was he a man or not?
In the end, there weren't any gold, silver, or jewelry in the Jewel Pavilion. There was only one woman, but what kind of woman was she exactly?
Forget it, she didn't want the silver anyways. Previously, she had agreed that this silver would be the reward for treating his injuries, but now she treated it as a public service. After all, Shan Liancheng was the War God of Great Swallow. She would ask Shan Liancheng tomorrow to return her small flashlight and go down the mountain. From then on, the bridge returned to the bridge, the road returned to the road, and they never crossed paths again.
But who would have thought that the next day when she opened her eyes, she would be greatly shocked.
A large skull was stuck to the top of her tent. This was the first scene she saw when she opened her eyes.
Who was this prank? Did he not understand the rules? Don't you know that scary can't happen in the morning? It will affect your mood all day.
She remembered that there was a skull in her expression, indicating that she was in decline. Such a big skull in the eyes this early in the morning, it was really depressing! Did this mean that today's trip to get a small flashlight was a rough road?
When she went to find Shan Liancheng, he wasn't in her room, so Yun Qixi guessed that he might have stayed in the Jewel Pavilion last night.
She felt strange inside, but she didn't have time to think about it any more. She felt that maybe this was a good opportunity that the heavens had given her.
