Nie Zhen'er looked at Luan Qing Xiao and shook her head sadly. The hairpin in her hair fell to the ground, scattering her raven black hair.
"Zhen'er, Mistress has nothing to do with him. Have you forgotten what Mistress said to you in the bridal chamber? If Mistress decides to marry you, I will definitely not regret it." Luan Qing Xiao reached out to Nie Zhen'er.
With tears in her eyes, Nie Zhen'er asked pitifully, "Mistress, do you like me?"
"I do." How could I not like you?
"If Mistress likes me, why won't Mistress come to me instead? I don't want to go where that man is."
Luan Qing Xiao didn’t turn to see Ying Yuan Yu. She focused on talking to Nie Zhen'er. "Zhen’er don't need to care about those who don't matter. If Zhen'er doesn't like him, I will send him away."
"Really?"
"Really."
"Then Mistress, tell him to leave."
Ying Yuan Yu: "... …"
The world's most invisible male lead, how woeful.
In order to make himself look less miserable, Ying Yuan Yu took the initiative to say. "Zhen'er, I really have nothing to do with Qing Xiao, I will leave right now."
From the situation, it seems that Nie Zhen'er had a one-sided crush on Luan Qing Xiao, while Luan Qing Xiao loves himself.
Ying Yuan Yu felt that with his charm, Luan Qing Xiao wouldn’t be able to shift her lover to others, so he bypassed Nie Zhen'er with confidence and left the main hall.
Since Ying Yuan Yu entered the Snowy Gale Secret Realm for a spiritual weapon, he couldn't stay here any longer.
After watching Ying Yuan Yu leave, Nie Zhen'er suddenly asked Luan Qing Xiao. "Why can Ying Yuan Yu call Mistress' name directly? Are you not his Shi Shu? Sure enough, things really aren't that simple between you two, right?"
Luan Qing Xiao:......Ying Yuan Yu, this idiot.
"Zhen'er, Ying Yuan Yu just has no manners and no respect for his seniors. Mistress will scold him in a minute. Don’t you trust in Mistress? The only person that Mistress loves is you. Whether it is the previous life or the next life, Mistress will only love Zhen'er."
Nie Zhen'er still shook her head, "Mistress is lying. Mistress told Zhen'er she would come back soon after the toasting, but I asked Senior Sister Gan Yun. Mistress had already finished the wine toasting, but she was still entangled with a man in the main hall. At that time, I wanted to trust Mistress. However, when I came to the main hall, I really saw a man who was standing so close to Mistress. He even called Mistress’s name."
"Mistress, Zhen'er is jealous of him." Nie Zhen'er squatted down as if she couldn't bear it. Her long hair fell to the ground.
Luan Qing Xiao sighed and gave up on breaking the illusion. She walked in front of Nie Zhen'er and squatted down to distressed hug her. "Zhen'er, you should be more confident. Zhen'er is so beautiful and has a lively and lovely personality. There is no better woman in the world than you that Mistress likes."
Nie Zhen'er raised her head, eyes red, "Mistress, should Zhen'er believe you?"
"Of course, if there is a person in this world that you can trust with all your heart, I hope that person is me."
"Zhen’er, in private, you can directly call my name from now on, okay?" Luan Qing Xiao's eyes were gentle.
Nie Zhen'er sniffled and looked at Luan Qing Xiao in disbelief. "I-I call Mistress's name?"
"Of course, Zhen'er is someone who is going to be Mistress’ Dao companion." Luan Qing Xiao rubbed the top of Nie Zhen'er's head.
"Qing Xiao?" Nie Zhen'er tried the new address.
"I'm here."
"Qing Xiao, Qing Xiao, Qing Xiao, Qing Xiao!" Nie Zhen'er called four times in succession.
Luan Qing Xiao responded gently each time.
"Qing Xiao, kiss me." Nie Zhen'er ordered with a reddened face.
Luan Qing Xiao stretched out her hand to tidy up her messy hair before pulling her up to her feet, "Where do you want me to kiss?"
Nie Zhen'er raised her head. Her clear apricot eyes stared straight at her, "On the lips."
Luan Qing Xiao laughed, shaking her head. "Zhen’er, are you sure?"
"Mistress doesn't want to? But Senior Sister Gan Yun said that couple kisses each other on the lips. We have already got married, you lifted my red veil. You have to kiss me." Nie Zhen'er burst out angrily.
"Alright, alright, Mistress didn't say she wouldn’t kiss. Don't be angry, Zhen’er." Luan Qing Xiao tilted Nie Zhen'er's chin with her hand. She leaned down slightly, "I'm going to kiss you."
Her hot breath brushed against Nie Zhen'er's face, making her pink lips trembled. Suddenly she tightly shut her eyes in a panic, too embarrassed to look at Luan Qing Xiao's face again.
After one kiss, Nie Zhen'er was unable to stand steady and needed Luan Qing Xiao's support.
"Zhen’er, are you satisfied with Mistress’ kiss? Mistress can do it again if you're not."
Nie Zhen'er's white and tender cheeks were bright red. She immediately shook her head and whispered to Luan Qing Xiao. "Don't come again, I-I'm very satisfied."
She felt like she almost stopped breathing just now.
Tired, like she had climbing an entire mountain.
Although the kiss between the two was powerful and amazing, she didn't want to experience it again in such a short time.
Luan Qing Xiao hugged Nie Zhen'er's waist and uttered in her ear. "Since you are satisfied, come greet the elders and people from Shang Qing Palace with Mistress."
Nie Zhen'er was led by Luan Qing Xiao into where the illusions intersected in a daze.
The moment the two stepped into the junction, all the surrounding scenery instantly disappeared as Nie Zhen'er's body softened and fell in Luan Qing Xiao's arms.
Luan Qing Xiao learned from the memory of the original owner that after breaking the Maze of Illusions, the person who was the model for the illusion would faint for half an hour and lose all the memories in it, so she wasn’t very alarmed.
Luan Qing Xiao carried Nie Zhen'er and looked around. She discovered that the two were in a valley with grass and flowers everywhere with the background sound of running water.
Walking over to a stream, Luan Qing Xiao saw Ying Yuan Yu who had also passed out.
Before Ying Yuan Yu fainted, he probably wanted to drink water. Because he was very close to the stream, after fainting, he fell head first into the stream. Fortunately, his mouth and nose didn’t fall in the water. However, his clothes were mostly wet.
Luan Qing Xiao was too lazy to pay attention to him, so naturally she wouldn’t care about him. She directly followed the direction of the stream. A quarter of an hour in, she could vaguely see the exit.
Nie Zhen'er opened her eyes with a jump. She stared at Luan Qing Xiao's chin in confusion for a while before realizing that she was being held in Luan Qing Xiao's arms.
Nie Zhen'er softly asked, "Mistress, what happened to me?" Why did it feel like her body was drained of energy? Plus, her lips were stinging for some reason.
Luan Qing Xiao replied, "For some unknown reason, you fainted after entering the Snowy Gale Secret Realm, so I can only carry you around."
"Ah, I, I can come down now, Mistress." Nie Zhen'er's cheeks were flushed. She panickily squirmed around in Luan Qing Xiao's arms in an attempt to get out.
"Mistress, I can walk by myself." Nie Zhen'er pulled Luan Qing Xiao's sleeve.
"You can't walk by yourself." Luan Qing Xiao said, "Since Mistress is here, you don't need to be forced yourself. Just leave it to the Mistress if you have any problems."
Nie Zhen'er was taken aback, "I-I can?"
"Of course." Luan Qing Xiao smiled, "Zhen'er is the Mistress's favorite disciple, isn't she?"
