The wind only poured into the window, blowing the candle light flickering, and her face swayed with the subtle fire shadow. Those eyes were full of tenderness, brighter than any stars Xie Tingyun had seen in his life.
She just looked at him like this for a moment, like a flying fire falling on her heart, burning a small hole, it didn't hurt, it was slightly burning.
Unfamiliar feelings were intertwined, and Xie Tingyun suddenly didn't know how to deal with it.
He didn't even dare to look at Yun Wan's face anymore, he lowered his head, and lightly clasped the Yun Zhang ring pendant on the sword hilt with his beautiful and thin fingertips.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Yun Wan didn't speak anymore, and was going to go out to buy some food for the child to replenish his health.
Just as he walked to the door, Xie Tingyun suddenly said, "What's your name?"
Thinking of Liu Chen's previous instructions, Yun Wan turned her head and replied, "Yun Wan..." Thinking of Liu Chen's previous instructions, she froze for a moment, and told her name, is it a leak?
She quickly turned the subject: "But you can call me at night."
late night...
Xie Tingyun twisted her name on his lips carefully, and raised his eyes again: "Where did you come from?"
Her comings and goings are unspeakable, Yun Wan was thinking about how to fool her, but Xie Tingyun saw the hesitation in her expression. The young man raised his chin: "That's all." His voice was cold, "I don't care either."
Seeing that the child was really awkward, Yun Wan pursed her lips and smiled, then turned and went hunting.
Xie Tingyun sat on the bed, maintaining an indifferent and arrogant expression, until the footsteps became farther away, then half-opened one eye, and quietly looked out the window.
[I'm here to ferry you. ]
Even though there were only four short words, it set off a huge wave in his heart.
Her origin is unknown, and she approached suddenly, if she has other plans... Xie Tingyun lowered his eyes and pondered. He is just a twisted ghost that everyone fears to avoid, and apart from this life, there is no precious thing on his body that is worthy of being missed by others.
So... she just wanted his life?
Neither.
If he really wanted to kill him, he could have done it earlier, and he didn't have to wait until now to offend Chong Ming's people for him.
That is…
See, see him?
This sudden thought made Xie Tingyun's whole body burst into flames. It's not that there was no female devil cultivator who thought about it before, and even those enemies who didn't like him had to say "it's a pity for this skin" before making a move. Apart from falling in love with him, Xie Tingyun seemed to have no other reason.
While thinking wildly, Yun Wan had already returned from looking for food.
There was nothing edible in this forest, so she walked for a long time before finding a few fruit trees. The fruit is beautiful in shape and bright red, and it tastes sweet when you look at it.
Yun Wan brought all the picked fruits to Xie Tingyun: "That's all, eat more."
He was indeed hungry by the end of the day.
The fruit in front of him looked tempting, but he had a good face, even if he wanted to eat it, he said stubbornly: "I don't want to eat it, I'm not hungry."
"Ah?" Yun Wan's eyes widened slightly, "But it took me a long time to pick it up..."
The fruits grow for some reason, and they are all solid. Even with her strength, it took a long time to pull them. Not to mention the biting tree root, Yun Wan was accidentally bitten several times, although it wasn't painful, it made her very angry.
"Just eat one, or you won't grow taller." Yun Wan grabbed one and handed it forward.
There were several obvious bloodstains on her fingertips, as if she had been injured by a sharp object.
Xie Tingyun's heart was touched, and she couldn't help but look at her face, that face was covered with a little dust, her hair was messy, and a few grass leaves were hidden in her hair, but she didn't know it, his clear pupils reflected his brows and eyes at this time.
Xie Tingyun's eyes flickered, and he involuntarily stretched out his hand to approach Yunwan.
She didn't dodge, not even a little vigilant. When Xie Tingyun took down those few weeds, he narrowed his eyes and said, "...Are you not afraid that I will harm you at all?"
This is a prison without rules and regulations. You may kill others today, and you may die unexpectedly tomorrow. Therefore, whether it is a ghost or a demon, they all live carefully.
But... Xie Tingyun could feel that Yun Wan trusted her with all her heart, and she had no reservations about him even though she knew nothing about him.
If it was before, Xie Tingyun would only think that this kind of person was too naive, but now...a soreness filled his heart.
Yun Wan blurted out: "I'm not afraid."
Xie Tingyun raised his eyes: "Why?" He couldn't figure it out, "You have also heard from those people that I am a twister. My mother is half a demon and half a ghost, and I was made by the souls of those wronged souls that she swallowed." Transformation, this life..."
He turned his Adam's apple up and down, and only then came out the four words from between his teeth: "Destined to be unknown."
Xie Tingyun's lips turned pale, recalling everyone's abuse of him, and Yun Wan's actions, intertwined with helplessness and fragility, he couldn't help but tighten his fingers so that his nails were almost embedded in his flesh.
"Your life is your life, and others can't tell. I'm too lazy to listen, and you don't want to listen. I only know that you are Xie Tingyun, the best existence I have ever met in this world."
Don't say he is some kind of night-strangler, even if he is Shurasha who crawled out of the eighteenth floor of hell, she will save him.
—Because he is the unique Xie Tingyun.
Thinking of the uncertainty of her lover's life, Yun Wan's eyes suddenly turned red, "Whether you are a ghost or a devil, I just want you to be well."
The two supported each other all the way, and she had already regarded him as indispensable in her life.
If Xie Tingyun left here, she would still live well, but every day after that, she would only see the moon set and not the morning rise.
Yun Wan sniffled, turned her back and secretly wiped away her tears.
Xie Tingyun didn't expect her to cry, so he panicked all of a sudden, "You, don't cry. I also... didn't say anything else..."
Xie Tingyun felt aggrieved.
He wasn't mad at her...he owed her a lot of money instead.
Looking at her red eyes, Xie Tingyun pursed his lips: "Then..." He paused, "I won't listen to others from now on, I will only listen to you."
After that, carefully observe her expression: "Are you still crying like this?"
Yun Wan stopped crying, stared at him for a while, rubbed her nose hard, and handed the fruit over again: "Then do you want to eat it?"
Xie Tingyun looked at her and then at the fruit, "... eat." He took it, and said, "You eat too."
"I don't eat." Yun Wan has already fasted. Eating food is like a waste. The resources in the Demon Realm are scarce, so you might as well leave it all to Xie Tingyun to grow taller, "You eat, eat more."
With a stubborn look on her face, Xie Tingyun instantly understood that Yunwan was reluctant.
There was another burst of sourness in her heart, no matter whether she was intentional or not, no matter what she wanted to do, or what she wanted from herself. Xie Tingyun admitted that at this moment, he was indeed moved for a moment.
Xie Tingyun didn't hesitate any longer, and took a bite out of the fruit.
The juice quickly exploded between the teeth, and after a short period of sweetness, the unspeakable bitterness filled every inch of the tongue cavity, so bitter that it tingled, and the taste rushed straight to the top of the skull.
His hand holding the fruit was shaking, his internal organs could not accept such a violent impact, and resisted with all his strength, Xie Tingyun tried his best to endure the astringency, and he became dizzy for a moment.
-bitter.
It was so bitter that he wanted to cry too.
Xie Tingyun's expression was too weird, and Yun Wan looked suspicious: "Isn't it delicious?"
Xie Tingyun was in a trance for a moment, and quickly came back to his senses. Seeing the tear stains on her face and the wound on the back of her hand, Xie Tingyun immediately shook his head: "It's delicious."
"Then eat more." Yun Wan grabbed a handful and held them in front of him, "This stuff is too difficult to pick. I picked just a dozen of them in half a day. By the way, I tried it with spiritual power beforehand, and it didn't work." poison."
She is smart now, and she will try everything she eats in the wild first, so as not to accidentally eat something dirty, especially this is the devil world, so she must be more careful.
Xie Tingyun stopped and continued to eat the fruit silently.
To avoid a bitter death, he circulated his spiritual power to protect his internal organs, and then he struggled to put the fruits into his mouth one by one. Fortunately, the fruit is small, one for two bites, and a dozen or so can be eaten with patience, but it is too bitter, and he almost passed it several times.
"I'll sleep for a while, and you'll go to bed earlier after eating."
Xie Tingyun nodded obediently: "Yes."
Yun Wan rubbed her eyes, took out a blanket from the storage bag, spread it on the ground, and lay down on the spot.
She soon fell into a deep sleep, and the sound of her breathing echoed rhythmically in the narrow cabin.
Xie Tingyun quietly stared at the profile who was close at hand.
There were still two pieces of fruit left, he looked back and took a deep breath, and continued to gnaw cruelly.
Unappetizing.
But he just promised her, and he couldn't break his promise so soon.
After eating the fruit, Xie Tingyun's stomach has reached its limit.
The abdomen was overwhelmed, and the acid water flowed out one after another. He frowned, and wanted to endure it, but his throbbing stomach made him unable to hold on for even a quarter of an hour.
Xie Tingyun covered his abdomen tightly, rushed outside the house and vomited out the contents of his stomach, his throat was sore from the bitterness, and he coughed again and again.
Finally feel better after vomiting.
Xie Tingyun turned around and was about to go back to the house when he bumped into Yun Wan who had never wanted to come out.
As a cultivator, she naturally sleeps lightly, and she is always vigilant even with her eyes closed. Naturally, this little movement cannot escape her ears.
Under the moonlight, the boy's face was covered with a layer of gray, his eyes did not blink because of his shock.
Seeing his appearance, Yun Wan felt helpless and distressed.
She walked over and stood on tiptoe, wiping the traces left at the corners of his mouth with her sleeve without hesitation.
Xie Tingyun shuddered all over, fearing that she would get dirty, so he hurriedly took a step back.
"do not move."
He just vomited there, and he was really not afraid of stepping on it.
Yunwan took Xie Tingyun's hand and concentrated on cleaning it up for him.
His spine was stiff, and with a slight movement of his fingertips, he touched Yun Wan's fingertips.
Compared with his, her hands are really small, with such great strength, but the fingers are soft.
He couldn't care less about his discomfort, and couldn't control his thoughts.
"If you say you're not smart, you're really not smart. If the fruit doesn't taste good, don't eat it. Why make things difficult for yourself." It's also because she wasn't cautious enough: this place is not Qingyun Baodi, and even if the fruit grows good-looking, it may not be delicious. But Yun Wan didn't expect that this silly boy actually ate all of them.
She hadn't tasted it, but she knew it didn't taste good from his reaction.
Xie Tingyun stared at her with dark eyes, serious: "I'm afraid you will cry."
Yun Wan was taken aback for a moment, then her cheeks blushed.
This kid is, really weird and obedient...
