2531 Thoughts
In this world, perhaps there were no more bewitching words than this.

Something seemed to be rumbling in his mind.

Almost without hesitation, he wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her into his arms. He stared at her closely and said, “You just said that you’d return my sword to me…”

“What do I need your sword for?” Xiao Ba blinked, and the smile on her lips deepened.

One of her hands slid down, and she pressed it against his hard chest.

Yan Qing held his breath.

“I want to lean against here.”

With a thin layer of clothes between her hand and his chest, she could still feel his heart beating violently.

She hooked her fingers and slowly lowered them until they touched his firm abs.

Yan Qing tensed up.

“I want to touch it.” She inched closer, her entire person almost merging into his arms.

The fragrance that only belonged to her spread out, as if it was weaving an invisible net that easily bound him.

He didn’t want to, nor was he willing to struggle free. He just wanted to stay here and let her do whatever she wanted.

Her hand gently clung to him as she looked up.

Yan Qing suddenly felt that his neck was numb and itchy.

She went close to his neck and bit the button of his collar. It was the button that she had just buttoned up personally.

He didn’t see her move much, but he felt his collar loosen.

That button didn’t resist at all as she easily undid it.

The collar was slightly open. When she breathed, the hot breath landed on his collarbone and neck, causing a small tremble.

It was itchy and hot.

She moved even closer. Her red lips parted slightly, and her pearly white lips gently bit and rubbed against the Adam’s apple.

“I want to bite this.” Her voice was a little vague, but because she was so close, it entered his mind very clearly.

Xiao Ba originally wanted to tease him, but she didn’t expect him to move so quickly.

Sensing the dangerous aura on his body, she gasped and turned to run.

However, how could she be Yan Qing’s match? Before she could take a step out, he picked her up and held her tightly in his arms.

Almost without hesitation, he pried open her lips and attacked her.

Xiao Ba’s legs went weak, and she could only wrap her arms around his neck. However, she was worried that she would touch his wound again.

She couldn’t retaliate at all and let him do whatever he wanted.

She struggled and clutched his collar, her syllables vague. “Mm… You… You… You’re not sorry now…”

Yan Qing paused, and his voice was terrifyingly low and hoarse. “Previously, I said sorry because I have much more thoughts in my heart than what I did.”

Xiao Ba was stunned for a moment. Then, she suddenly realized something, and her face turned red. “You…”

He leaned over and slowly asked, “Do you want to know about those areas you pointed out?”

…

Xiao Ba didn’t know what the Left Divine General was thinking as his wound opened again.

Helpless, she treated his wound again.

This torture lasted for a long time.

In the room, the lights burned brightly.

The two of them sat together and looked at each other’s shadows intimately.

Xiao Ba retracted her hand and heaved a sigh of relief. “Done!”

This time, she didn’t dare to touch any other parts of Yan Qing’s body other than his wound. If not, she was really worried that his wound wouldn’t recover.

There seemed to be a flirtatious aura in the air.

Yan Qing looked at her. After thinking for a moment, he said, “It’s late. I’ll send you back to rest.”

Xiao Ba glared at him. “You’re chasing me away?”

Yan Qing paused. “We haven’t decided on our status yet. Besides, if you stay here the entire night… I won’t have to sleep the entire night.”

“Oh.” Xiao Ba stopped. That makes sense…

“Then… Aiya!” Originally, she wanted to nod in agreement and get up to leave, but she suddenly thought of something and yelled.

Yan Qing’s expression changed slightly. “What’s wrong?”

Xiao Ba pouted and covered her face. “I just clarified it with Big Brother and the rest not long ago…”

In the blink of an eye, I’m with Yan Qing again. This—

She vaguely felt that her face hurt. Besides, her instincts told her that Yan Qing wouldn’t have a good time in the future.

Yan Qing didn’t really care about this. He was thinking of something else. “I’ll go see the Emperor and Goddess Yue tomorrow. As for Lin Zhifei, I’ll get someone else to replace you.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ba couldn’t help but laugh. “Brother Yan Qing, do you care so much?”

Unexpectedly, Yan Qing nodded. “My injuries can be worse than his. If you must personally take care of someone, then… that person can only be me.”

Xiao Ba was stunned. Then, she wrinkled her nose and wanted to say something to him.

Seeing his handsome and serious face, she swallowed her remaining words and snorted softly. “Then, let Jian Fengchi think for himself.”

On the other end, Jian Fengchi—who was thinking about the formula—had his eyelids harshly twitch.

He touched his eyes. “Why do I suddenly feel so uneasy?”
At this moment, he had no idea that he had been heartlessly abandoned.

…

Xiao Ba stood up and prepared to leave.

Yan Qing went to send her off.

The moon was high in the sky, and it was the deepest part of the night.

The night wind blew, and the shadows of the trees danced.

The two of them walked side by side, their shadows lengthened by the moonlight.

The surroundings were silent and a little cold.

Xiao Ba looked up, but she felt that her face was still vaguely hot.

Yan Qing held her hand.

As he practiced the sword all year round, his palm had calluses, which were completely different from her soft hands. But at this moment, the feeling of friction was as real as ever.

No one said anything, but they didn’t feel cold.

Xiao Ba recalled today’s incident in her mind.

Before this, she would never have thought that there would be such a thrilling and hot night. It was like a dream.

Time seemed to pass especially quickly on the way.

Xiao Ba felt that she was swaying. When she came back to her senses, she was already at her door.

“Rest well,” said Yan Qing.

Xiao Ba nodded, glanced at the sky, and pouted slightly. “It’s all your fault for making me sleep so late today. I’m going to have dark circles tomorrow.”

Yan Qing looked at her. After a moment, he shook his head and said, “You won’t. You’re the prettiest no matter what.”

Xiao Ba’s lips curled up. “Since when did the Left Divine General say such words?”

However, Yan Qing looked serious. “Back then, you asked the Left Divine General who he would think was prettier between you and Shu Jing. Now, the answer is—you’re prettier.”

Xiao Ba was slightly stunned.

“You even asked if the Left Divine General would be reluctant to punish you when he saw you. His answer is the same—unwilling.”

Even though he didn’t confess his identity that day, these words were from his heart.

Xiao Ba muttered, “I-I know you all have your own difficulties…”

Back then, she felt that she had been lied to and was angry. But after thinking about it carefully, she didn’t mind it so much.

She didn’t expect his explanation to come.

“But you still suffered grievances, right?” His gaze was clear and sincere.

Even if some things were in the past… As long as she cared, he would explain them one by one and smoothen everything for her.

Xiao Ba’s gaze flickered.

She held his hand and leaned in, chuckling softly. “Brother Yan Qing, it’s not good for you to do this.”

Yan Qing was slightly dazed.

Right on the heels of that, he heard her softly say, “You have to recuperate well. Perhaps I also want to know what you were thinking about just now.”

Her eyes were bright, cunning, and extremely charming.

She didn’t say anything. She only opened her red lips and silently said, “Even if you don’t say it, you can show it to me.”
