The scorching heat seeped through the thin layer of black cloth and enveloped Xie Ziyou. Xie Ziyou's palm touched a piece of tight and firm skin. It was the youth's chest. Under the skin, the heartbeat was strong and powerful. Thump, thump, thump. It rushed into Xie Ziyou's palm like a strong current.
Xie Ziyou panicked and jumped away as if he had been electrocuted.
The jade bracelet moved according to his thoughts. In an instant, it trembled and tried to squeeze outwards — but to no avail.
Guan Heng was wrapped very tightly. No matter how hard the jade bracelet tried, it could only make an arc protruding from his chest.
There was a faint smell of grass on his body. It was like thick ink, slightly bitter and mixed with a strong fragrance.
Being swept back and forth by that powerful aura, Xie Ziyou only felt that his entire body was astonishingly hot. The youth's vigorous vitality clustered around him from all directions, as if he was placed on a grill. The warm and scorching flames swayed slightly, gently licking his skin little by little, dying every piece of white skin a crimson red.
He also heard the sound of branches rubbing against each other. He couldn't see clearly through the layer of cloth. He only vaguely felt that Guan Heng had pulled down a bunch of branches from the top of the stone platform and piled them together with dry leaves.
Xie Ziyou bit his lower lip and angrily kicked the jade bracelet's wall. He shouted, "Let me out!"
He couldn't just transform like this. Firstly, Guan Heng's remaining outer clothes would be torn apart. Secondly, in his current position, he would fall directly into the young man's arms after transforming. That would be too embarrassing. Just thinking about it made him feel extremely ashamed!
Guan Heng didn't want to take out the jade bracelet from his arms. He held a bunch of branches in his left hand and gently raised his right palm to pat his chest twice as if to comfort him.
Xie Ziyou and the jade bracelet felt the same way. His whole body trembled. The youth's palm seemed to penetrate through the jade bracelet. His broad and dry palm brushed against his back and swept up along his spine. He immediately felt numb.
Without waiting for Xie Ziyou to scold him again, Guan Heng casually changed the topic and asked, "You, where did you go just now?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Ziyou's heart trembled again.
But this time, it was a different method.
He realized in hindsight that he had escaped too quickly and had forgotten to give the youth a proper explanation.
Xie Ziyou covered her head and racked her brains to come up with a plausible excuse. She mumbled, "… Your jade bracelet is not an ordinary item. It has its own space inside. Just now … I went into the space inside the jade bracelet to read the information."
Kwan Heng-man said casually, "Oh, I see."
The young man's mouth was light, but there was a trace of bitterness in his heart. He thought to himself, 'Little liar, spouting nonsense again.'
No matter how ignorant and inexperienced Guan Heng was, how could he not be able to tell if an ordinary artifact had a spirit or not?
… But it doesn't matter, Guan Heng thought.
The young man's eyelids drooped slightly. Xuan Li flowed on his fingertips, and the non-elemental chaotic force swayed in the wind, immediately turning into a string of bright flames.
With a flick of his finger, the flames gently fell on the withered branches and rotten leaves. They quietly spread along the wrinkled edges of the leaves, gradually rising into a beautiful flame.
Seeing that the flame was growing stronger, Guan Heng picked up a withered branch and gently poked at the ashes under the fire.
The jumping flames reflected in his eyes, turning into two faint streams of light.
The young man whispered to himself in his heart, 'It doesn't matter. Between friends, there are secrets.'
He shouldn't mind that You had his own little secret. As long as this person was willing to come back and stay by his side …
"Hey," Xie Ziyou controlled the jade bracelet and struggled to poke a corner out from the front of the young man's clothes. "Aren't you curious about the results of my investigation?"
He finally saw what the young man was doing. There was a small fire on the platform, and Guan Heng deftly made a simple stand with withered branches. At this time, he was skewering a few black things on the fire.
Guan Heng grabbed a handful of withered leaves and threw them into the fire.
He actually felt fine. He could use the Xuan Li and cultivate, but he didn't have the Xuan Dan. He thought that it shouldn't be a big deal.
However, You's nervous appearance was really cute. Guan Heng looked down at the jade bracelet that was overflowing with light. He quietly outlined the young man's bright eyes and white teeth in high spirits. He obviously wanted to say something, but he deliberately kept him in suspense. His beautiful peach blossom eyes were raised high, his gaze was passionate, and the fine lines between his eyebrows were as beautiful as flames.
Guan Heng's heart was surging. He slightly tilted his head and smoothly said, "What conclusion?"
"Repeat with me ten times, 'Central Academy Xie Xiannu is a shameless little bitch.' Then I'll tell you."
"… Uh, what's a little bitch?"
Xie Ziyou thought for a moment and explained, "It means that she's not what she looks like. She's a bitch and coquettish. She looks like a Xiao Bai Lian and has a black heart. In short, it means that she's bad to the core."
The fire reflected a red circle of light on the jade bracelet, flickering and jumping. Guan Heng seemed to see the young man's angry appearance. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He asked, "Why do you always make things difficult for my future wife?"
Xie Ziyou was choked by his words and spat out blood. He angrily said, "Why do you still want to marry her?!"
That was the villain. He had read hundreds of novels and painstakingly created the most typical villain who wanted to break off a marriage!
Was he that bad as a villain?
"Actually, I don't have to marry her." Guan Heng poked at the fire and thought for a moment before saying, "If she were to eat noodles upside down in front of me …"
That scene flashed through Xie Ziyou's mind and immediately made his hair stand on end.
He was filled with grief and indignation. He slapped the jade bracelet loudly and shouted in shame and anger, "That's impossible! You should give up on that idea! "
Was there something wrong with him? Was there something wrong with the protagonist's way of thinking?!
Guan Heng lightly replied, "Oh."
Xie Ziyou was tightly wrapped in his lapel, so his expression could not be seen clearly. However, he could hear the dark wind surging on the stone platform, the rustling of the grass and trees, the crackling of the flames rising, and the sound of several insects chirping could be heard nearby.
The young man above him was silent for a moment and then said softly, "You, are you worried that when I get married in the future, I'll leave you out?"
Xie Ziyou: "… Haha."
You don't need to leave me out. When you get married in the future, I can die gloriously.
Seeing that no one in the jade bracelet spoke, Guan Heng paused for a moment and said sincerely, "You you, don't worry. Now that I've left my family and have no parents, you're my only family. In the future, if Xie Xiannu marries into my family, I'll ask her to serve you tea. "
Xie Ziyou: "…"
His words were so dense that Xie Ziyou didn't know where to start.
He was in despair and helplessness. He spread out his arms and leaned backwards. With a plop, he fell into the jade bracelet. The jade responded to his movement and immediately let out a clear and crisp sound.
Guan Heng's ears trembled and he immediately asked with concern, "You you, what's wrong?"
Xie Ziyou looked at him with a pair of dead fish eyes. He wasn't stingy at all as he said faintly, "Don't talk. I'm dead."
"… You you?"
"Ahhhh, you're so annoying!" Xie Ziyou grumbled as he got up and fiercely pinched the edge of the bracelet. "Why did you take things so hard and want to marry her? What exactly attracted you to her? "
Tell me and I'll change it, okay? I'll change it!
Guan Heng didn't immediately respond.
The sun was setting in the west. The dark blue sky was high and wide. A few swallows were circling under the blue sky. Their jet-black and light tail feathers swept across the branches, leaving behind crisp and mellow cries.
The rosy clouds in the sky were the same color as the flames. The flowing clouds were illuminated with a fiery red color. The edges of the clouds were outlined with a brilliant golden edge. It was as if the setting sun left behind a ray of light in the sky, which then turned into thousands of threads and weaved into a colorful robe that filled the sky.
The flowing clouds and the rosy clouds floated into the young man's eyes. A layer of fluorescent light floated above his bright black pupils, but it couldn't penetrate the dark depths of his eyes and fall into the depths of his eyes.
"… Actually, it's nothing." Guan Heng played it down. "It's just a bit of obsession."
Since he was young, he had been repeatedly told that one day, he would marry the high and mighty Xie Xiannu.
The young man had to do his best to pull out his shallow life to the same height as Miss Xie, regardless of whether or not the momentum of pulling up seedlings to help them grow tired or almost suffocated him.
Marrying Xie Ziyou was once the entire meaning of Guan Heng's existence.
However, all of this was suddenly overturned in one day.
What used to be "must marry her" became "must not marry her" in the blink of an eye. The family responsibility that he had to bear in the past became his wishful thinking, a toad lusting after a swan's meat.
No matter how good Guan Heng's temper was, it was inevitable that he would suppress some anger in his heart. He was sad and resentful, and in a fit of pique, he bubbled with anger. You say I can marry her, and you say I can't marry her?
The more I can't marry her, the more I want to marry her!
This kind of thought had been brewing in Guan Heng's heart since Hong'er wanted to assassinate him. After his biological father expelled him and You Qin silenced him, it gradually rose until it finally climbed to the peak.
However, as he fell off the cliff, he hugged Xie Ziyou tightly in midair.
At that moment, the sound of the wind entered his ears and hot tears flowed freely. Guan Heng's grief and indignation were comforted and miraculously returned to normal.
Especially when he opened his eyes and saw the young man's glittering eyes, his cheeks were crimson, and his lips were soft.
In that instant, his heartbeat surged, suppressing all the grievances and unfairness.
Now, Guan Heng's obsession still existed, but it was not as strong as it was at the beginning. He felt that it was more fun. He never got tired of seeing You angry for him. The joy of teasing You surpassed all the joy in the world.
Thinking of this, Guan Heng tightened his collar again and lovingly tucked the bracelet deeper. The dry branch in his hand started a string of flames, and he said softly, "You, are you hungry? Do you want to eat something? "
The young man's words reminded Xie Ziyou.
His female body was still on the carriage returning to the Central Academy. His status was noble, so naturally, there would be people taking care of him.
However, the protagonist had been knocked down by a palm strike in the morning, driven out of the house, and fallen off the cliff. So far, he had not eaten a drop of water for the whole day.
After confirming with his eyes, it was time for the cheat to show its power!
Xie Ziyou hurriedly rummaged through the System Warehouse and found a book called "Encyclopedia of Spiritual Plants and Xuan Beasts". He eagerly held it in front of Guan Heng.
"Are you hungry? How many xuan beasts can I recommend to you? Rank 1 xuan beasts have large amounts of spiritual energy in their bodies. They can fill your stomach, nourish your meridians, and fill your dantian — "
"Stop, You, stop for a moment." Guan Heng smiled and said, "It's almost dark. Isn't it too late to start looking for xuan beasts now?"
"I wanted to say that I've roasted two bunches of mushrooms. If you don't mind, try my cooking …"
Xie Ziyou was suddenly stunned.
The jade bracelet twisted and turned, and a small green point poked out from his collar.
Through the jade wall, Xie Ziyou caught a glimpse of the flames rising on the pile of firewood in front of him. There was a bunch of black and wrinkled mushrooms on top of it. They were the size of a fist, short and flat, and there were a few strands of Xuan Guang flowing on their canopy.
Xie Ziyou was very surprised. "Where did you find these Xuan Guang mushrooms?"
He had already asked the system to check. The only spirit item that was easy to pick was the Blood Lingzhi Mushroom.
It wasn't that there weren't any other spirit herbs, but most of them were guarded by xuan beasts. With Guan Heng's cultivation level, it wasn't suitable for him to challenge such a high level of difficulty.
"Ah, that's easy," Guan Heng said, "My Xuan Li has transformed into the wood element, so I can water the plants. You, look —"
A cyclone appeared in the youth's palm. He waved it lightly and it landed in a corner of the stone platform.
That corner was blocked by the stone wall all year round. It was cold and damp, and there was a mushroom the size of a finger growing there.
Now that it was being watered by the Xuan Li, the mushroom shook in the wind and was immediately dyed with spiritual patterns at a speed visible to the naked eye. Its fat black body swayed, and its canopy opened. There was a faint flow of spiritual energy.
It was chubby and very cute.
Guan Heng's voice was light. "Look, there's a Xuan Guang mushroom."
Xie Ziyou was speechless.
Xie Ziyou knew that the chaotic attribute could absorb all types of xuan qi in the world and could also transform it into any type of xuan qi.
However, he didn't expect that he had painstakingly selected the strongest cultivation technique and the strongest attribute for the protagonist. He wanted to let the protagonist crazily surpass his level and sweep the world — in the end!
This guy used the Xuan Li that he had painstakingly cultivated to water the plants?
A supreme cultivation technique! There was only one of its kind in the world!
It wasn't the "Pig Farming Technique Guide", okay?
If he continued to waste it like this, when would he be able to catch up to Xie Xiannu's cultivation level?
Xie Ziyou was so angry that his teeth chattered. He wanted to splash a basin of water on Guan Heng and wake him up.
He hurriedly threw the "Encyclopedia of Spiritual Plants and Xuan Beasts" back into the System and rummaged through the System Space. He angrily pulled out a book called "Five Years as a Protagonist, Three Years of Cultivation" and slammed it on the ground in front of Guan Heng. It was so imposing that dust flew up and the flames on the bonfire trembled three times.
Xie Ziyou gasped for breath and roared, "Put down the mushroom! Put it down!"
"Now, right now, take this schedule and get the hell out of here to cultivate!"
