How to Easily Capture a Long Aotian [Quick Transmigration] 26

Chapter 26: The Unwed Wife of the Favored Son of Heaven (Part 6)

The wind and snow were just beginning to pick up, and the withered leaves under the eaves were rustling.

“Come and sit.” As if reading something from the two young men’s gazes, the woman smiled.

A thin layer of snow had fallen on the steps in front of her. She reached out and swept it away, and said gently, “It’s clean.”

Xie Yibai raised his eyebrows slightly, not understanding why the Wind-drinking Immortal, who had woken up after the formation was broken, was so approachable.

She had not been so easy to talk to in the illusion. When she had attacked the human cultivators, she had not been soft-hearted.

Demon and human, righteous and evil, were inherently incompatible.

Xie Yibai had taken it upon himself to wipe out demons and evil, but he did not kill indiscriminately. In the past, his master had always reminded him, could demon and human also coexist?

As Xie Yibai was thinking, his palm softened. He was pulled forward and sat down on the stone steps with a thud, only a foot away from the Wind-drinking Immortal.

Xie Yibai was stunned for a moment and turned his head helplessly. “Little young lady… you?”

If you’re so unguarded, you’re going to suffer.

On the side, Yu Lin also sat down, his eyelashes lifted slightly, and he looked at him with confusion. “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.” Xie Yibai sighed, shook his head, and touched his cold hand.

After a pause, he knocked on the stone slab on the ground, and a sword intent spread out, and the stone slab instantly warmed up.

He reached out and pulled the fluffy cloak on Yu Lin’s neck, and pressed it on his chin. Yu Lin’s eyelashes lifted slightly, and his cheek brushed against his fingertips.

On the side, the cicada woman tilted her head curiously, stared at his red earlobes, and told him, “You’re blushing.”

Xie Yibai took a deep breath, the tips of his ears dripping with blood, and said with a calm expression, “En, and then?”

The cicada woman looked at him, silently turned her head, and suddenly said, “My name is Chan Nü. The Taoist in the illusion, did you see him? His name is Yu Daozi.”

Xie Yibai continued to raise his eyebrows, not understanding. “En, and then?”

“Xie Yibai, you…” Yu Lin wanted to remind him. He opened his mouth, but couldn’t make a sound.

He was stunned for a moment, understanding that this was probably some kind of plot lock and could not be exposed. He pressed his lips together slightly.

A moment later, he reached out, held Xie Yibai’s palm, and wrote these two names in his palm, one stroke at a time.

Xie Yibai was probably a little itchy. His fingertips trembled slightly, and his waist tensed, but he didn’t move.

He lowered his eyes to look at Yu Lin’s slender fingers moving in his palm. The two strange names spread out with the elegant calligraphy, and a thought flashed through his mind.

A muffled thunder sounded in the sky.

Yu Lin’s knuckle paused slightly. Xie Yibai in turn grabbed him, held him in his hand, and said softly, “It’s done.”

The cicada woman leaned against the door, looked at them, smiled, and asked, “Nowadays… are human and demon, righteous and evil, still so incompatible?”

Xie Yibai nodded. “Yes.”

The cicada woman looked at him, did not speak, but just nodded lightly.

The sky gradually darkened, and a thin layer of snow fell. The courtyard was a deep color.

Suddenly, a very light gurgling sound was heard. Yu Lin looked down and saw his own stomach in a daze.

Xie Yibai turned his head to look at him, his eyes black and white, and stared at him for a long while, and couldn’t help but laugh. “Hungry?”

Yu Lin hesitated for a moment, nodded, his cheeks slightly red, and said honestly, “En.”

Xie Yibai leaned against the door, smiled, and his fingertips pushed aside his stray hair, and teased him, “Shall I take you to eat ice-snow yuanzi? When I was a child, after I finished practicing my sword, I would always eat this. It’s delicious.”

As he spoke, the cicada woman on the side was stunned for a moment and suddenly looked over. “You like ice-snow yuanzi? I know how to make them.”

Hearing this, the two young men turned their heads to look at her in unison. One was sharp, like a peerless sword, and the other had gentle features, like spring when the grass and trees were growing.

She looked at them, smiled, and said, “Just a moment.”

The cicada woman seemed to make this dish often. Xie Yibai went out to buy the ingredients, and in a short while, two bowls of ice-snow yuanzi were placed on the stone table in the courtyard.

Xie Yibai raised his eyebrows and took a tentative bite.

Yu Lin asked softly from the side, “Xie Yibai, is it delicious?”

Xie Yibai’s fingers were playing with his hand, nonchalantly. He ate the small yuanzi one by one and nodded. “Delicious.”

“That’s good.” The cicada woman sat on the side, her deep green eyelashes lowered. She smiled, then suddenly turned her head, drove them away, and said, “You can leave after you’re done eating.”

Yu Lin held the porcelain bowl, his expression slightly dazed, and asked lightly, “Senior… aren’t you going out with us?”

“I’m not going.” the cicada woman said.

She smiled, sat back down on the steps, curved her eyes, and looked up at the sky, and said, “I’m waiting for spring.”

***

As the formation that had been lingering in the city for a hundred years dissipated, the spring that had been stolen from Yunzhou slowly arrived.

The people of the city were all surprised and walked out of their doors to look at the lush grass on the ground.

“The immortals have blessed us. Is this… a flower?”

“That’s great. The ice has finally melted. It seems that this year’s trade route will not be blocked.”

Walking on the road, such voices could be heard everywhere.

But the cicada woman had disappeared. The courtyard was deserted, as quiet as if no one had ever lived here.

The formation had stayed here for nearly a hundred years. Yu Daozi had used himself as the formation to accumulate spiritual power for her rebirth—but Yu Daozi’s foundation had been damaged, and he had died here. This formation had not been completed.

It was just that many years had passed, and a cultivator had accidentally triggered it, which had caused the strange phenomenon and awakened a wisp of a soul.

After the formation was broken, Shannan City regained its liveliness, with bustling crowds and well-connected trade routes. The trial of a group of immortal sect young men was successfully completed, and they were all overjoyed.

The night in late spring was still cool, and there were scattered lights behind the clouds.

Thinking that the trial was over and they would have to part tomorrow, a group of young men felt reluctant to leave and agreed to go to the river to break willows.

Only Nanyin had a bun-like face and was unwilling to leave. She sat at the entrance of the inn and sighed.

Hu Guangsan was also not interested in breaking willows. He held a popular picture book from the market and walked past with a fan.

Seeing Nanyin sigh, he walked over with confusion. “Sister Nanyin, what are you doing here instead of playing?”

Nanyin turned her head, looked at him, her expression serious, and slowly made a gesture with her finger. “Don’t be noisy. I’m thinking.”

She was thinking about how to avoid the great demon king and hook up with the younger martial sister. She had heard that the two of them were preparing to return to Lingyang, and she also wanted to go.

Hu Guangsan followed her gaze and looked up at the building, his brow furrowed, as if he had heard a faint sound.

His eyes rolled, and he sat down with her. “Fun.”

The bright moon was high in the sky, and the stars were bright. Xie Yibai sat in his room and did not join in the fun with the others.

He lay on the bed, looked up at the white jade pendant in his hand, thought for a moment, and got up to go out, planning to steal his beloved.

When he jumped in through the window, Yu Lin was reading at the desk. His features were quiet, his eyelashes long and thick, and the dim yellow light on the desk illuminated his features gently.

Seeing Xie Yibai, he put down his book and blinked lightly. “Why are you here?”

Xie Yibai leaned against the window and smiled, walked over, and bent down to say to him, “I’m here to steal you.”

Yu Lin looked at him, a little puzzled, but after a moment of hesitation, he still opened his hands to him. “Where are we going?”

He had let down his hair, and his long hair fell on his shoulders. His gaze was gentle and full of trust, like a flawless piece of beautiful jade.

Xie Yibai bent down and picked him up, his chin resting on his shoulder. He held it in for a while, but couldn’t help but sigh.

He said with a smile, “Little young lady, tomorrow I’ll go with you to Lingyang… to visit your uncle, how about it?”

Yu Lin was puzzled. “Why?”

Xie Yibai turned his head, with a smile on his face, his ponytail swaying. He kissed his cheek lightly. “To propose marriage.”

Yu Lin was stunned for a moment, his cheeks slightly red. He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then nodded, his chin lifted slightly, and he nuzzled Xie Yibai’s neck.

Xie Yibai held him, and after a while, he suddenly stepped on the windowsill, his posture light, and jumped up to the roof.

The roof of the inn was very high, and the night sky was very low. Sitting on it, in the warm lights of Shannan City, with a slight reach of his hand, he could almost touch the moon.

Yu Lin sat on the slightly cool tiles, and his hand seemed to have also touched the warm and cool moonlight. Xie Yibai sat by his side, his posture straight, and his temperature scorching hot.

They looked at the sky together.

The bright night was high in the sky, and the bright moon was flowing with light. Xie Yibai’s fingers lifted slightly, and Ding Canghai was suddenly drawn, its sword light sharp and chilling, full of vitality, and it danced a trail of sword light in the night sky.

The formation of Shannan City had dispersed, and the city was full of lights and noisy crowds. The moonlight in the sky was like silver, and the clear light was cold and pure.

Ding Canghai slashed through the night, and the body of the sword danced a brilliant light in the dark night.

The long sword and the moonlight reflected each other, turning and moving, and intertwining like fireworks. The fireworks dissipated, and the cold hilt of the sword fell and rubbed against Yu Lin’s cheek, as if it were acting spoiled.

Yu Lin lowered his head and touched it, his eyes curving slightly, and said warmly, “Thank you. It’s very beautiful.”

Xie Yibai sat on the side, coughed lightly, and the tips of his ears turned red.

His fingers rested on the cold tiles above the inn, tightening and then relaxing. After a moment of silence, he lowered his head, bent his knuckles, and took the other hand by his side.

The fingers resting on the tiles were hooked up. Yu Lin lowered his head slightly, and his palm felt a chill. He found a white jade pendant lying in his palm.

The white jade was translucent, and its touch was warm and cool. He looked at Xie Yibai, his eyelashes lifted slightly. “What is this?”

Xie Yibai smiled, his eyes bright. He supported himself with Ding Canghai, leaned over slightly, and asked him, “Little young lady, take it.”

He said, “Take it and wait for me to marry you, okay?”

The young swordsman’s voice was clear, like the rustling wind in the forest, the bright moon in the mountains, and the white snow in the early morning.

His expression was serious, his features slightly raised. He and his sword stood in the night, like two dazzling, unparalleled, and unstoppable peerless sword lights.

Yu Lin was dazed by his gaze. When he came to his senses, he had already nodded unconsciously.

He was stunned for a moment, his eyelashes blinking lightly, and he couldn’t help but smile.

He looked at Xie Yibai, nodded again, and said seriously, “Okay.”

The young lady of the Yu family had a pair of amber eyes, her features were clean, and her aura was gentle. When she looked over, she always seemed to be serious, and she was indescribably attractive.

Xie Yibai stared at him, his breathing ragged. His fingers lifted slightly and couldn’t help but rest on his cheek.

He was a little anxious. His fingers rubbed against his unwed wife’s cheek, not daring to use force, but also unwilling to let go, and he gently rubbed the light mole.

A small patch of skin on his cheek was rubbed until it was slightly hot.

Yu Lin was puzzled. He turned his head slightly and looked at the long and slender fingers on his cheek, his eyelashes blinking lightly.

He curved his eyes and smiled. The next second, Xie Yibai felt his fingers being touched, and then his unwed wife held his knuckle, leaned over, and gently kissed the corner of his lips.

It was like the smell of grass and trees in the forest after being wet by the rain. Xie Yibai’s fingers paused slightly, and his mind went blank.

He was stunned on the spot. Ding Canghai behind him was buzzing, extremely excited, and it drew a silver stream of light in the night.

Xie Yibai stared at his beloved under the bright moon, was silent for a moment, and then suddenly moved forward and held him as he jumped down.

A light sound from the windowsill, and then the curtain was pulled down. Yu Lin was held by the waist and pressed into the bed.

Xie Yibai leaned down and kissed him. The young man was full of vitality, and his exhaled breath was scorching hot.

Yu Lin’s lips were held until they were hot, and his cheeks were also hot. His head was dizzy, and his wrist was against the corner of the wall. He couldn’t help but open his mouth to breathe and licked his lips lightly.

The next second, the tongue that had stuck out was held, and Xie Yibai’s tongue followed in without any politeness.

He was like he was eating a piece of candy. The candy was very sweet, and he was reluctant to eat it too quickly, so he had to taste every corner carefully before swallowing it in one bite.

He ate very, very slowly. Yu Lin’s lips were eaten until they were a bright red. He looked up at Xie Yibai, his eyes wet, and his slender fingers were lifted and held against the edge of the bed.

A thin layer of sweat formed on his palm, and a thin layer of sweat also appeared on Xie Yibai’s chin.

He leaned down, his expression cold, his eyes dark, as if he were going to eat him. Yu Lin’s consciousness was blurry, and he unconsciously turned his head, his forehead resting on his chest.

Xie Yibai thought he was going to run away, or slap him. He turned his cheek slightly to the left and did not dodge, but he felt a tickle on his cheek. His beloved lifted his cold lips and kissed him lightly.

Xie Yibai was stunned for a moment, his heart softened, and he suddenly came to his senses. He raised his hand, his fingers resting on Yu Lin’s cheek, and asked, “Uncomfortable?”

Yu Lin hesitated for a moment, shook his head, and said hoarsely, “It’s okay.”

Xie Yibai took a deep breath, held him in his arms, pushed aside his hair, and kissed him gently.

He coaxed him softly, “Okay, go to sleep. I’m watching.”

The person in his arms was exhausted and quickly fell asleep, his breathing steady.

The night crept into the windowsill. Xie Yibai leaned against the bed, his gaze clear. He took a deep breath, looked up at the window, and after a while, he suddenly let out a low laugh.

He thought, everyone always said that Xie Yibai was very domineering and never bowed his head. He had never thought that he would fall so hard when he did.
