Dingdang did not know why, but her heart suddenly jumped. She lowered her head to look at her palm, where there were two beautiful and bright spirit stones. The beautiful light refracted in mid-air, and it looked as if there was a faint rainbow light lingering around the spirit stone, adding a bit of temptation to it.
Lu Chen smiled and pulled Dingdang. Dingdang lowered her head, hesitated for a moment, then slowly walked forward, following him into the house.
… …
The spring wind was as gentle as a lover's hand, lightly blowing through the mountains and villages. The grass and flowers in the courtyard slightly trembled, and on the petals there were crystal clear dew drops.
After the sound of breathing calmed down, under the soft bedding, they calmly lay on the bed. The world outside the house seemed to be separated far away, as if there were only the two of them left in the world.
It was abnormally peaceful and tranquil.
Dingdang slowly sat up, using the quilt to cover the skin below her chest, and leaned against the wall beside the bed. Her face still had a bit of a captivating red, her gaze as gentle as water, then she saw the three paintings hanging on the opposite wall.
She stared at the paintings, looking at them for a long time, the expression in her eyes gradually changed. At this time, she suddenly felt something, lowering her head to look, she discovered that the man had turned around, and was also looking at her.
"Why are you looking at me?" Dingdang asked.
Lu Chen smiled, reaching out his hand to lightly caress Dingdang's cheek, then sincerely said: "You really are a beauty."
Dingdang bit her lips, then smiled, looking a bit happy, but then she looked at the opposite wall, after a moment, she said in a low voice: "Lu Chen."
"En?"
"I don't want to be like this in the future."
Lu Chen looked at her, smiled and said: "I don't understand, don't want what?"
Dingdang took a deep breath, and said: "I don't want you to give me spirit stones, and then sleep with you."
The smile on Lu Chen's face faded, but he didn't seem to be angry. He just quietly looked at Dingdang, and after a while, said: "Are you trying to say that you don't want to sell your body for spirit stones anymore?"
Dingdang nodded and said: "Yes."
Lu Chen replied with an "oh" and said, "Okay, I got it." After that, he got up, picked up the clothes on the side, and began to put them on.
Dingdang was still leaning on the bed, staring at him in a daze. When Lu Chen finished putting on his clothes, he turned around to look at Dingdang, hesitated for a moment, then said: "Why is it, can you tell me?"
Dingdang silently shook her head.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "But since you don't produce and don't have any other way to earn spiritual stones, what are you going to do with the remaining spiritual stones?"
Dingdang pursed her lips and said in a low voice: "I have my own ways."
"Alright." Lu Chen shrugged his shoulders, turned around and walked out of the door. In the middle of this, his gaze swept across the white wall, stopping on the three paintings hanging on it for a moment, then he turned around and said to Dingdang: "These paintings, they draw you quite beautifully."
Dingdang giggled, her snow white shoulders were bare, and she hugged the blanket tightly to cover her chest, then her laughter became more and more joyful, louder and louder. Finally, when Lu Chen was about to walk out of the door, he heard her shout from the bed behind him, saying: "Thank you."
Lu Chen's footsteps paused for a moment, then he turned around and smiled towards the room: "No need to thank me, I also like being with you."
Finished speaking, he waved his hand towards the room, then turned around and walked out with large steps.
Inside the room, Dingdang who was sitting on the bed stared blankly at the man's disappearing figure, slowly biting her lips, the smile on her face gradually disappeared, then she grabbed the blanket even tighter, tightly wrapping her body, as if she was feeling a little cold.
… …
There were no other customers in the tavern, so only Lu Chen and the tavern manager Old Ma sat opposite each other. Old Ma poured a cup of wine for him, then said: "Seems like there's nothing else."
Lu Chen looked at him, and said: "What do you mean?"
Old Ma moved his butt, letting his slightly fat body sit more comfortably, then said: "About the Three Realms Demon Sect's diagram, I found a few suspicious people, but in the past few days, they have all been investigated, and should have nothing to do with them."
Lu Chen nodded his head, picked up the wine cup in front of him and drank a mouthful, after a moment of silence, he suddenly said: "That newcomer Li Ji?"
Old Ma shook his head, and said: "He has nothing to do with the Demon Sect, he is just a mortal."
"Oh." Lu Chen responded, and for some reason, he seemed to believe Old Ma's words very much, but although his expression looked calm, there seemed to be a trace of gloominess.
Old Ma did not notice this, and continued to say: "But speaking of this Li Ji, recently there have been some rumours, saying that this person is not from an ordinary family, but from an aristocratic family. Originally his family was wealthy, unfortunately an accident happened, and his family fell, so he ended up here."
Lu Chen's eyebrows slightly raised, looked at Old Ma, and said: "Aristocratic family?"
Old Ma laughed, and said: "That's what the rumours say, probably because of this, Li Ji does not know anything else, but he is proficient in zither, chess, calligraphy and painting. By the way, I heard that because his family was wealthy in the past, his family was on good terms with a certain cultivation sect, and one of the sect's elders once showed him the kindness to examine his talent, and it was confirmed that he has an extraordinary innate talent, and in his Qi Ocean, there is not only the Five Elements Disc for cultivation, but also two pillars of Metal and Water, which is a rare Metal and Water Spirit Vein. "
Lu Chen placed the wine cup in his hand on the table, and smiled, but did not speak, his expression thoughtful.
Old Ma did not mind, and continued to say: "That's why everyone in the village is saying that as long as this Young Master Li gathers a thousand spiritual stones and visits the Thousand-Autumn Sect with the Celestial Mirror, he will definitely be accepted as a disciple of the sect."
Lu Chen thought for a moment, and said: "So this Young Master Li Ji is no ordinary person?"
"That's right." Old Ma smiled, and said: "Nowadays, many people in the village are sucking up to him, especially those women, they surround him like crazy. Sigh, he's young and handsome, and he's even talented. There's nothing I can do to be envious of him."
Lu Chen smiled, and pushed the wine cup forward, and said lightly: "Pour the wine."
…
When the sky darkened, Lu Chen walked on the bluestone path beside Qingshui Creek, the night breeze blowing on his face, bringing a faint chill. The scenery of Qingshui Creek under the night sky was different from the scenery during the day. The reflection of the water in between the shadows of the trees was like pieces of glass that had been cut into pieces, sparkling and sparkling, reflecting every spot of light.
