Chapter 371: 206, I want to go to Xunyang City!
After traversing the mortal world, where lantern lights merged into a sea of action, by the time they returned to the little hut, night had deepened. The fading light cast a dusky hue upon the firmament, the celestial canopy draped as if by a curtain.
Beyond the layered clouds and mountainous folds of this curtain lay a cool, dilute lunar light that poured through the gossamer veil of cloud splits.
Tian Liuli stood poised at the interplay of light and shadow in the courtyard, gazing at the bamboo pergola that, though verdant and elegant by day, now bore a tinge of ink-like dark, giving it an eerie edge against the dark backdrop.
The Green Crow perched on a branch, its eyes reflecting the obscure moonlight, casting a strange glow as it mirrored the world around it.
“Is something wrong?”
Xu Yuan’s gaze fell upon the two crows.
...
Hearing his inquiry, Tian Liuli came back to her senses, her eyes as if looking through the veil of lifetimes past.
“It’s nothing.”
She shook her head, her eyes carrying a tinge of melancholy.
“Those must be Qiushui Shengong’s messenger birds,”
Xu Yuan said with a light chuckle.
“Indeed.”
Tian Liuli lowered her exquisite head slightly and sighed as if it were nothing, “Qiushui Shengong...”
“Are you worried that if the two of us truly sought seclusion, Qiushui Shengong might not agree?”
Xu Yuan watched the subtle changes in her expression and said.
“Yes.”
Tian Liuli nodded again.
Initially, she didn’t care about this issue; after all, in her eyes, Xu Yuan’s so-called seclusion was merely a pretext to comfort her.
In fact, that’s still what she thought.@@@@
But after the kiss they just shared, she suddenly embraced the idea that perhaps it wouldn’t be so bad to sequester themselves away from the world for good.
Cultivation...
She had thought she could endure the interminable coldness on the path of prolonging cultivation, but after finding warmth in someone’s embrace, the endless bitter chill now seemed a needless affliction.
Under the moonlight, her figure was slender, enchanting like an immortal.
“Alright.”
Xu Yuan glanced at their hands clasped tightly together.
It was evident that Tian Liuli still wasn’t ready to let go.
In other words, did she want to sleep together tonight?
Wait a moment...
Xu Yuan suddenly realized something.
It seemed that since they had left the secret realm, she had never once let go of his hand.
Was she so afraid that he would leave? Or was it because she wanted to keep him in check at all times?
Xu Yuan’s heart stirred.
He seemed to have vaguely caught on to a point he could exploit.
They lay in bed.
The hazy moonlight seeped through the room, and through the thin fabric of their clothes, Xu Yuan could feel the hot breath by his ear and faintly detect the pleasant scent of the woman beside him.
Without turning his head, Xu Yuan silently stared at the ceiling. Even without looking at her directly, from the periphery of his vision, he could see that Tian Liuli was lying on her side, gazing at him with bright, clear eyes that seemed to hold many unspoken words.
Even without such a gaze, Xu Yuan could guess her intentions.
However, if it were anything else, he might be willing to comply with her request.
But...
With the precedent of Lin Qingque’s trouble, he was still confused and slightly resistant to the idea of Dual Cultivation with her.
On one hand, he wanted to confirm whether Lin Qingque’s memory loss had something to do with him or if she had orchestrated it upon herself.
On the other hand, he feared that such an act might exacerbate the madness that Tian Liuli, already shrouded in frenzy, was experiencing.
Fortunately, Tian Liuli seemed to retain the pride of an Immortal Emperor, or perhaps she simply didn’t want to waste her time on him. So, she just lay on the bed, silently... silently watching him.
