In the dim night, he looked down at his hands and feet, and at the same time, he felt around his body with his hands. The only thing he could be sure of was that unless Senior Sister Liu had a problem, it was unlikely that she would like him.
Then why did Senior Sister Liu flirt with me?
Ye Hong thought about it and felt that this might be a big illusion that men will always encounter in their lives - she likes me, and it is very likely that he is being sentimental and has misunderstood her meaning without authorization.
I couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions in my heart. I say emotions, but in fact it's just divergent thoughts and random thoughts.
In life, after learning a new word, we often find that this new word appears frequently in the next few days. In simple terms, "once discovered, it is everywhere."
The principle behind this phenomenon is actually nothing special. When people care about something, they will pay special attention to its existence.
Ye Hong frowned slightly and couldn't help but sigh. Today he met Senior Brother Wei Xun, and also got to know that outrageous evil cultivator from the book. It was only because he had read too many stories about licking dogs and goddesses that he could not help but associate them in this direction.
I'm so sorry, Senior Sister Liu.
But then again, no matter how much you like someone, you shouldn't be a bootlicker. You should have your own life first before you can talk about love. Thinking a little melancholy in his heart, Ye Hong slowly walked towards the direction of his favorite goddess.
……
From a distance, Qingyi could be seen sitting on the stone bank, with her head down, looking at something, perhaps the tiny waves. The sound of water hitting the rocks came to her ears, which is the so-called "sound of waves".
Bright moon, autumn wind, and clear ripples.
Ye Hong stood behind her and silently said in his heart, There is a beautiful woman to talk to, but she is separated from me by a river.
Legend has it that there is a fairy in the Moon Palace named Yuechan, also known as Chang'e of Daxia. She has bright eyes, white teeth, and is fresh, elegant, and beautiful beyond words.
A trace of doubt arose in Ye Hong's heart. Could it be that the legendary Yuechan was really more beautiful than Qingyi in front of him?
Her expression was indifferent, even a little numb. She frowned and thought carefully, with a strange look in her beautiful eyes. She was neither sad nor happy, and she said nothing or moved. She just sat there quietly, like the statue of the concubine in front of the Niangzi Temple.
By the way, a corner of the Niangzi Temple was collapsed by her, which was really an unexpected disaster.
Perhaps because of her sitting posture, she didn't seem so unattainable tonight.
So much so that Ye Hong could boldly confess to her, "Good evening, the moonlight is so beautiful tonight."
He felt that his mind was not normal. He felt a sense of pleasure when he saw Teacher Liu. Unconsciously, he wanted to look at her more, talk to her more, and get closer to her.
What is it about the teacher's delicate body that attracts me, pheromones or pheromones?
Qingyi still had no expression on his face, as if he had just greeted someone.
She was not surprised how Ye Hong found her. She had seen many people with great luck like him before, and she herself had even been one of them.
"Aren't you afraid of me?" Qingyi asked calmly.
After all, there had been such an unpleasant incident between the two not long ago.
"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that you will kill me?"
Ye Hong's body trembled slightly unconsciously, and he said honestly, "To be honest, I am a little scared, but to be precise, this should be called awe."
"Besides, if you hadn't been soft-hearted and let me go last time, I might have been dead by now." He said tentatively, "Maybe I shouldn't be too scared in front of you?"
"You are smart and mature, and most importantly, you are making rapid progress..."
Qingyi changed the subject, her pretty face suddenly darkened, returning to her previous cold and frosty look, "But I really don't like you. No matter what you do, it's equally disgusting to me."
As a result, the atmosphere suddenly changed and the surroundings became even quieter.
This is very direct and hurtful, but if I don’t like it, I don’t like it, there is no reason.
Ye Hong looked at her in silence and thought to himself, I have just done this question - I am 1.4 meters tall now, and it would be really troublesome if you liked me.
"Just tell me, what do you want from me?"
For some reason, Ye Hong felt that the look in her eyes when she looked at him revealed a bit of anger and dissatisfaction.
So Ye Hong organized his words and explained to Qingyi that the sect had sent Liu Ruochen to investigate the earthquake, and asked, "How about I find an excuse to get away with it? After all, less trouble is worse than more."
He actually did this to protect her. After all, if this matter really came to be discussed, a great monk in the Spirit Transformation Stage would get angry and make a big fuss just because a junior who was ten years older than him hugged his waist from behind in panic. There would definitely be more people laughing at her than at him.
Qingyi smiled coldly, as if disdainfully, "My heart and my actions are as clear as a mirror. I have nothing to be ashamed of, and I have never deceived anyone. Why should I lie so much?"
Why Do People Lie?
Because it is simple, convenient and profitable, and because I don't want Ye Wanqing to know.
"I understand." Ye Hong nodded and said to her, "So, can I lie?"
Never lying does not mean that you have to answer every question. When faced with questions you don't want to answer, you can remain silent and refuse to answer. There is no conflict between the two.
When Qingyi heard this, she glared at him with some disgust in her bright eyes, as if she didn't expect him to say that. He really was a stubborn person.
Ye Hong couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. He hated this kind of look, as if it could turn him back to his original form in an instant.
In fact, he has always been self-aware and knows that Qingyi dislikes him a little. If he puts himself in her shoes, he can understand that feeling is not mixed with malice. It is just like the feeling a female teacher has towards a disobedient student, or even a bad student.
However, due to the school, she had to teach him and give him private lessons, so it was reasonable for her to treat him coldly.
Thinking of this, Ye Hong became a little excited again, and suddenly laughed. Does this count as forcing the teacher or something?
The dark night was filled with dampness, and the fishy smell of the lake water made him feel as if there were huge tentacles lurking in the lake, which then stretched out from the surface of the lake to roll him up and squeeze him, like wringing water, squeezing out all the dark desires and malice in his heart, spreading like ink and smearing her pure body.
Qingyi seemed to be even angrier. What was this boy thinking about? Her breathing became disordered. She couldn't help but raise her tone and said coldly, "Hey, why don't you leave?"
Ye Hong was thinking too deeply and was startled. He breathed a sigh of relief. He had an illusion before that they could talk all night until the dawn.
"I have one last question, and I'll leave after I ask it."
"Qingyi..."
I can call you that, after all, I won the bet.
He asked softly, "Is there a destiny for love in this world?"
Hearing the word "God's will", the expression on Qingyi's pretty face became extremely complicated in an instant. The look she gave him changed from anger to shock to silence, but in the end she regained her composure, even indifference, and finally she stood up suddenly and turned away.
Ye Hong felt melancholy, as if he had messed up again.
Who would have thought that after she took two steps, she seemed to feel a little embarrassed, and seemed to be still angry in her heart, so she turned around and kicked him hard.
Chapter 35: Jealousy
Because it was a sneak attack, Ye Hong was unable to defend himself. He paused for a moment, shook his head, and slowly got up from his original position.
Tsk, it still hurts a little. You really tried hard.
Ye Hong was not angry at all. Instead, he quickly became excited. Okay, okay, so this is how we play it, ok?
Teacher Liu, the more you abuse me now, the more excited I will be when I catch you in the future. This is called suffering first and sweet later. It's like kicking with this leg, right?
A surge of ambition suddenly arose in his heart, "Go back and practice!"
No sleep tonight!
Others might think that he was trying to turn humiliation into motivation, but in fact, he did not feel humiliated. It can be said that the driving force for his progress came largely from desire.
There is a saying that the eternal woman leads us upward. This means that there is an eternal woman in the hearts of all men who guides them to progress.
After being satisfied, it is like drinking a bowl of boiling hot mutton soup when you are shivering in the winter. Suddenly, every pore of your body, inside and out, feels extremely comfortable and satisfied.
After returning, Ye Hong was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night. He practiced all night, but he became more and more energetic and didn't feel tired at all.
He couldn't help but sigh that when the spirit is full, one does not feel like sleeping; when the energy is full, one does not feel like eating. This saying is indeed true. As a Qi cultivator, as long as he practices diligently and accumulates spiritual energy, it will not be a big deal to stay awake for several days and nights.
……
I used a pot to cook fish soup for breakfast. After cleaning the fish, I fried it directly in the pot and then poured water to boil it.
After cooking, he served himself a bowl. After drinking it, the true Qi in his body immediately reacted.
So he muttered to himself, "This technique is really outrageous. It's not an exaggeration to say it's a magical power."
There is a difference between immortal skills and supernatural powers. For example, immortal skills are like active skills that require diligent study and practice, while supernatural powers are passive skills that are innate.
"Junior brother, I'm coming in."
Not long after, Liu Ruochen arrived as promised.
The two men sat opposite each other, and after some greetings, they got down to business.
Ye Hong had already thought of a story in advance, and he lied with his eyes open: "...That day, Elder Liu and I went down to the Jiaolong Cave together. The cave was full of the remains of the evil beast, both human and animal. The bones piled up into a small mountain. Elder Liu saw such a tragic scene that angered both humans and gods, so he was furious and couldn't control himself."
The dirty things he had done were described by him with righteous indignation as reasonable things.
Liu Ruochen listened quietly, nodding slightly from time to time, seeming not surprised at all.
After all, although there are many foundation-building and golden elixir cultivators nearby, there are only a handful of Nascent Soul and Divine Transformation cultivators, and it is not difficult to find the real culprit by the process of elimination.
Although Qingyi's actions caused certain losses, they were fortunately under control, and the sect had no intention of holding her accountable, they just wanted to understand the situation.
Liu Ruochen was on his way back to the sect and happened to be not far from this place, about an incense stick's distance away, so he volunteered to come and take a look.
As for the Sect Master's message, it was just an excuse. To put it the other way around, she wanted to use this incident to meet with Sect Master Li Yunshang and report the situation.
In addition, the main purpose of Liu Ruochen's trip was to meet his idol - the immortal Liu Qingyi who "kills dragons wherever she sees them", but he has never been able to do so. After asking around for a while, he finally found Ye Hong.
After all, it was widely rumored that Sect Leader Liu had accepted a new disciple with a single water spiritual root of the highest grade, and he had high hopes for him, and he even personally asked his sister to take him in as a disciple and train him well.
When she thought of this, Liu Ruochen narrowed her eyes slightly, pursed her red lips, and a strong feeling of jealousy inevitably rose in her heart.
After practicing for less than half a month, he had already reached the eighth level of Qi training. It should be understood that this is a level that many people with low-grade and mixed spiritual roots will never reach in their lifetime.
Compared with his previous miserable life, it was like one was in heaven and the other was on earth.
If she said that he didn't possess a heavenly-level skill, she wouldn't believe it.
It can only be said that not everyone has a brilliant partner like him, who is favored by the master Chenyu. If he wants resources, he has resources; if he wants martial arts secrets, he has them; if he wants guidance from experts, he has guidance from experts.
In fact, the main reason for Liu Ruochen's hatred was because of her miserable life. She was an orphan and grew up under the abuse of her brother and sister-in-law. It was an inspirational legend for a woman to be able to embark on the immortal path, overcome all difficulties and cultivate to the stage of Dan, and become the leader of the Hua Sect.
The competition within the inner sect was extremely fierce. If one wanted to maintain their status, they could only rely on their own efforts, even desperately.
It is true that the sea of suffering is endless and a woman is walking alone.
……
Rather than saying that Liu Ruochen's skill in cultivating her qi is amazing, it is better to say that women are born actors. She smiled and nodded from time to time, and she did a good job on the surface, but her occasional smile seemed a little unnatural.
Ye Hong was not aware of this at all, because his mind was not on her at all.
In his eyes, although Liu Ruochen was indeed very beautiful, she was not as beautiful as Ye Wanqing with makeup, nor as beautiful as Qingyi without makeup. Upon closer inspection, it seemed that she was just so-so, like the hibiscus flower that blooms in the morning and withers in the evening, not stunningly beautiful.
Ye Hong would rather set his target on Qingyi, who is out of his reach, and then enjoy the process of chasing her. In this way, at least he will not be tempted by the beauty of other people.
