Chapter 175: We Are Eternal

Chapter 175: We Are Eternal

Unknown to when, specks of fireflies flicker by the riverside under the moonlight, creating a hazy and dreamy atmosphere. Occasionally, the sound of insects chirping adds to the tranquil ambiance, blending with the gurgling of the river, resembling a nocturne and enhancing the serenity.

Amidst the nocturne, there are also harmonious melodies, which are the soft sighing voices of a young man and woman.

“Enough... that’s enough...” a weak female voice murmured softly, “You deceived me with a mooncake, some marshmallows, and a pancake, bringing me here, and then you kissed and touched me for so long...”

The ancient lady of ten thousand years felt both aggrieved and angry, feeling like she’s been deceived. Why did she come to this riverside in the outskirts? Now, in retrospect, it seems that there is nothing else to do in a place like this except for kissing and hugging.

What a waste of time. Even the process of clearing up the scene relies on her own powers, which is truly infuriating.

This is a lesson in love that must be recorded and shown to other girls. If a boy wants to take you to a deserted outskirts at night, don’t go. Besides wanting to kiss you, he has no other intentions... If there are, it’s even more serious intentions...

Of course, you should also remember that if you want to kiss him yourself, pretend not to know anything, innocently follow him, and then you will fulfill your wish and kiss until your lips become swollen.

Amidst the flowers and under the moon, with the gentle flow of the riverside, and the silence of the wilderness, the environment is so romantically captivating that while kissing, you won’t even notice when you’ve climbed the mountains and clouds, sob, sob, sob...

“If you touch me again...”

“As you wish.”

“?”

“...”

“I said no more touching! My clothes are all messed up!”

Chu Ge kissed her cheeks and neck, whispering all the way, “Qiuqiu, I love you so much...”

Qiu Wuji’s mind is a little dazed. It seems like the first time he used such a cheesy “I love you” in modern times to confess. These three words are straightforward and powerful, much more impactful than all the previous pretentious confessions, leaving her head spinning.

He seems to really love me, it’s not a lie.

Lost in thoughts, her defense collapses completely.

Mainly because I’m wearing traditional clothes today, it’s too convenient to tuck things in the folds, sob sob sob... It’s not my fault. Wait a minute. Qiu Wuji opened her eyes and grit her teeth, “Did you bring me to the riverside to do something all in one go?”

“Ah?” Chu Ge didn’t really have that intention. It was the atmosphere that got to him, and he couldn’t help himself.

Now, being reminded of it, he became somewhat sober and realized that he has actually invaded Cloud Horizon’s Peak... Touched and moved to the point of tears, it would be worth it even if he was thrown into the river!

He instinctively touched something.

A trembling softness.

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet, and Qiu Wuji’s face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

“Ahh!”

A miserable scream echoed, startling the birds to fly and even the chirping of insects stopped.

But she heard Chu Ge continue, “And I... all my cultivation is for the sake of keeping up with you... whether it’s lifespan or to find you within the book.” Even to be able to defeat you, to rightfully earn you.

The latter half of the sentence was left unsaid, and there was no need to say it.

Qiu Wuji once again felt her heart beating fast, and her mind started to feel fuzzy. The sweet words of love are as potent as spiritual arts, their effect is terrifying. What’s even more crucial is that she knows he is telling the truth with every word.

So here, by the moon, flowers, and riverside, it becomes more and more touching.

In her dazed state, Qiu Wuji only realized that she is kissing him again, not knowing if it was he who initiated it a bit more or if she did.

As he said, wanting to be stick together, never getting tired of it.

Even when his hand climbed again, she didn’t oppose it. Despite having the strength to easily throw him into the river, she felt her limbs going soft and didn’t want to exert any force. Wearing traditional clothes is troublesome, allowing him to easily slide them off her shoulders and passionately plant kisses on her neck and shoulders.

Qiu Wuji, somewhat absentminded, tilted her head slightly, looking at the moon above, shining softly like the smiling face of an aunt.

The heavenly dao in that world is him, and the moon is his transformation. In this world, can the heavenly dao be the witness under the moon?

May you and I be eternal in this lifetime.

She always felt that this environment was causing her to lose control, in a way it also protected her. If the situation were convenient, she truly didn’t know if she could refuse him and let him push her down. She really felt like she had no strength at all. But unfortunately, because of this kind of setting, with scattered rocks everywhere, it was inconvenient and he couldn’t make a move.

She could feel his heavy and labored breathing, as if he was about to explode. Suddenly, Qiu Wuji felt that he looked quite pitiful, and she burst out laughing.

Chu Ge: “...”

“Alright...” Qiu Wuji gently pushed him away, lowered her head to tidy up her disheveled clothes, and pouted, “You’re so lecherous.”

Chu Ge: “...”

Turning her head to look at his pitiful and longing expression, Qiu Wuji smiled enchantingly, exuding a hundred charms, “Creator God, are you feeling wronged?”

Chu Ge: “...”

Qiu Wuji took the initiative to lean in, whispering fragrantly in his ear, “Since you’ve spoken so nicely today, I’ll reward you...” She also imitated Chu Ge and kissed his neck, her slender hand slowly moving down and gripping the pestle.

Chu Ge’s eyes widened.

“Don’t look...” Qiu Wuji murmured, “It’s just a little cutie...”

The little cutie was so angry that his veins popped. The little cutie was about to cry.

Chu Ge also absentmindedly gazed at the moon, where it seemed that there was a Jade Rabbit holding a pestle, thumping, thumping...

The person before his eyes was more beautiful than the Jade Rabbit, gentler than the moon. Just like the autumn water in a dream, rippling with the moonlight, it spread through his heart and submerged his soul.

In that moment, it seemed as if he saw the moon smiling.

((The jade rabbit is a well-known figure in Chinese folklore and mythology, often associated with the moon in traditional stories. It is said to be a companion of the moon goddess Chang’e, residing on the moon and pounding medicine or making elixirs))
