Even through his clothes, Yun Wan could feel the heat of his palm.
She looked at his panicked expression playfully, instead of letting go, she tightened her hand an inch.
Xie Tingyun's limbs were stiff, and it took him a long time to adjust his breath, and his voice was unsteady: "I'll carry you." His tone paused for a while, seeing that she didn't make a statement, Xie Tingyun carefully pulled her hand away.
Once the confinement was released, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Xie Tingyun squatted in front of Yun Wan, patted on the shoulder: "Come up."
Yun Wan put her lips into a smile, and leaned obediently on his back.
The young man's back is not wide, perhaps it is because of the heavy dew at night, slightly cold. She pressed close to him, wrapping her soft and slender arms around his neck. The breath of the demon world really made her feel uncomfortable, but she felt a little relieved to be next to him at this moment.
Yun Wan closed her eyes, and gradually abandoned herself and the aura around her.
The two soon came to the inn. Considering that the devil world was mixed with fish and dragons, and Yun Wan was a woman, Xie Tingyun specially asked for a first-class room.
After returning to the room, he used his meager cultivation to set up barriers on all sides of the room. Although this barrier was not enough to resist foreign enemies, it could keep out the magic breath. After doing all this, he looked at her: "Do you want to ask the store to deliver some food?"
Yun Wan shook her head: "No, I'll just rest for a while."
"Oh." Xie Tingyun paused, "Then..."
Seeing that he still wanted to go outside, Yun Wan said, "You don't have to worry about me. You keep the money for selling things yourself, and you can buy whatever you want. You don't have to save." She felt a little pity, and pulled her lips, "... Originally, I still wanted to be with you."
The child is poor.
It is estimated that since she was a child, she has never visited flowers, festivals and Lantern Festivals like her peers. She wanted to take this opportunity to make up for the shortcomings he missed, but now, let alone make up, she even has some difficulties traveling outside.
Xie Tingyun fanned his eyelashes slightly, and whispered the word "good".
He really didn't linger, and left with the door in a hurry. Yun Wan leaned against the sill window, looked down from the second floor, and had a panoramic view of the prosperity. On the bustling streets and alleys, the tall, thin and tall shadow quickly disappeared at the end of the lights.
Yun Wan sneered, this little heartless person really left her behind, tsk.
She closed the window again, turned and went to the house, put down the curtain in front of the bed, closed her eyes and meditated.
**
The street scene is noisy.
There are novelties that Xie Tingyun has never seen before. In addition to demon cultivators, there are also many demon cultivators who come here admiringly. Chixie City has always contained everything, and it is also a festival, even if it sees a little demon, it will not be easily driven away.
He is just the age of playing, even if he is too precocious, he will still be attracted by things around him. Fortunately, Xie Tingyun has strong self-control, even if he is curious, he is not hindered from walking. He randomly found a shop to sell his things, and walked around the street with the few hundred magic stones he got in exchange.
Soon, Xie Tingyun's attention was caught by the jewelry stand on the side of the road. After hesitating for a moment, he paced forward.
Seeing the guests coming to the door, the stall owner who was lazily leaning against the carved pile immediately stepped forward, "What does this young master want?"
The stall owner is a snake spirit trained to become a demon, with red lips and a thin waist, and a thin gauze covering a bumpy body. She was swinging the snake bone fan slowly, and seeing that Xie Ting Yun Qingjun was extraordinary, she gave him a wink.
Xie Tingyun turned a blind eye, carefully selected at the stall, and then picked up one of the jade hairpins, "How do you sell this?"
The woman stretched five fingers and counted, "Five hundred."
five hundred…
Xie Tingyun touched his pocket, he only sold three hundred just now.
Seeing his embarrassment, the stall owner raised his slender eyebrows: "Seeing how handsome you are, I'll charge you three hundred."
three hundred…
Xie Tingyun's beautiful brows slowly frowned.
The stall owner was impatient and couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "Young master, don't you don't even have three hundred?"
Xie Tingyun said nothing, and slightly tightened the hand holding Yuhan.
This flower hairpin is more exquisitely made, and the workmanship seems to come from the upper realm, and there are a few tassels hanging under the emerald jade beads. Xie Tingyun could imagine Yunwan walking with it on, every step she took, it was very beautiful and moving.
He drooped his eyelids, and after a battle between heaven and man, he threw the money bag containing three hundred magic stones over, "I want it."
The female stall owner put away the purse, and finally showed her face: "Would you like to help me wrap it up?"
Xie Tingyun shook his head, took two steps and turned back, "That..."
The woman rolled her eyelids and waited patiently for him to speak.
Xie Tingyun said: "Can you teach me to curl my hair?" He paused slightly, "A simple hairstyle is fine."
The stall owner was taken aback for a moment, then smiled: "Is it for your sweetheart?"
Sweetheart?
Xie Tingyun never thought of this, so he was startled, but he didn't veto it.
The woman covered her face with a snake-bone fan, her eyes filled with a smile, and then she folded the fan, and the booth was instantly put into the fan.
She raised her chin: "It just so happens that I'm not busy, so come with me, young master."
Xie Tingyun was a little wary.
The woman looked sideways and said: "You want me to teach you again; but you can't believe me, if you don't come..."
Xie Tingyun no longer hesitated, and simply followed.
The woman pushed open the door, turned her head and said to Xie Tingyun, "Come in."
Xie Tingyun hesitated in front of the door and refused to go forward.
The woman sighed helplessly: "I won't swallow you alive. This is my home, so I can't teach you to curl your hair on the street, right?"
She really didn't have any second thoughts, let alone dare to do anything to him.
It could be said that she is also a snake spirit who has cultivated for hundreds of years, her eyes are bright. Although Xie Tingyun's cultivation is not worth mentioning, but his bones are extraordinary, if he annoys her, he will be the one who will be sad in the end.
Xie Tingyun twitched his eyelashes, and reluctantly followed in.
The woman did not lie, this is indeed her Burrow. Without any fuss, she brought Xie Tingyun straight to the dressing table, sat in the mirror and removed the red hairpins from her hair, "What kind of face does that girl you see?"
Xie Tingyun thought about it carefully: "Oval face."
Snake spirit: "Is the skin white?"
Xie Tingyun shook his head: "No white."
Snake spirit: "Are your eyes big?"
Xie Tingyun shook his head again: "Not big."
The woman looked at her in the mirror: "Is it fat? Is it tall? Is the nose small, or is it flat?"
Xie Tingyun replied in a straightforward manner: "Not fat, not tall, with a flat nose."
The stall owner just rolled his eyes: "Listen to what you said, this girl has no merit at all."
Xie Tingyun was quite sincere: "I don't look at skins."
After hearing this, the stall owner laughed softly.
Xie Tingyun didn't know what she was laughing at, but when he thought of Yunwan waiting alone in the inn, he immediately urged: "Can you hurry up? I want to go back sooner."
The woman glared at him: "You are handsome, but you can't speak at all. Forget it, you still care about that girl, so I won't argue with you anymore." She hooked her fingers, " Come closer, I'll only teach you once."
Xie Tingyun approached two steps obediently.
Looking at the mirror, the snake spirit slowly rolled up her long hair, making every step meticulously. Xie Tingyun looked at it seriously, for fear of missing the point in the blink of an eye.
The woman is dexterous, and in two or three strokes, she can tie her long and smooth hair into a hairpin, and then fix it with a hosta, which looks clean and elegant.
"Will it be?"
Xie Tingyun shook his head honestly.
At the beginning, I could see clearly, but later on, it was all messed up. In the end, I couldn't even remember the first steps clearly.
The woman took a deep breath and endured: "Forget it, I'm a devil to the end, and I'll teach you two more times."
The snake essence taught tirelessly; Xie Tingyun listened to it over and over again, and after several times, he finally memorized all the steps. The snake spirit was still worried, so he asked him to use his own hair to practice.
Xie Tingyun is a little strange for a man to comb a woman's temples, but he doesn't want to practice with the hair of the snake spirit, and in the end he is unwilling, so he can only comb his own hair in front of the bronze mirror.
His hair was long and thick, his hands were clumsy, and he tried twice and failed.
Xie Tingyun refused to give up, and tried twice in succession, and finally managed to get out the hair that the snake spirit taught him.
The young man in the mirror has cold eyes and holds the woman's head against his head, looking extremely funny.
He didn't rush to take it apart, but stared at it in a daze. After a moment, he asked uneasily: "If she... won't let me comb her hair, what should I do?"
The snake spirit spoke lazily: "If you don't let it go today, it's tomorrow, if you don't let it go tomorrow, it's the day after tomorrow. If she doesn't tire of you, she will let you go one day."
If she doesn't hate you...
Xie Tingyun lowered his eyebrows and murmured in a low voice: "She pleases me..."
The snake spirit patted Xie Tingyun's shoulder: "Why are you so flustered? Go back quickly, lest that girl wait for you impatiently."
Xie Tingyun came back to his senses, quickly untied his hair and tied it back into a ponytail. Standing up, I bowed very politely this time: "Thank you for your help, I will wait for the future..."
"There's no need to say good words." The woman folded the fan again, half joking and half serious, "I'm a little devil, and I dare not have anything to do with you, a night twister."
His soul breath is unusual, but anyone with a little cultivation can tell that he is a rare night twister in a thousand years. Although the snake spirit didn't regret helping him once, she also didn't want to get involved with him.
Xie Tingyun has long been used to hearing this, and he doesn't feel disappointed, on the contrary, he is a little grateful.
Others either avoided him or hated him. She knew his identity, but she was still willing to help. This was a great kindness to Xie Tingyun.
Xie Tingyun nodded his thanks again, turned around and left without looking back.
**
He spent a long time with the snake spirit, and when he came out, it was already ugly time.
The Moon Invitation Festival ended as early as midnight, and most of the pavements on the street were removed, and there were few people around, and the lanterns lit up on the towers made the night city more and more desolate and ghostly.
When there were still a few steps away from the inn, Xie Tingyun's spirit thread, which had not been withdrawn, vibrated violently, and his aura was exactly the same as that of the lakeside.
In other words... it wasn't Yun Wan who was peeping that day.
Xie Tingyun's expression froze, and his steps suddenly stopped.
He took a last look at the inn that was close at hand, put away the spirit thread cruelly, and ran to the completely opposite secluded road.
