Jiang Wang had no choice but to face his own heart. It was true that his body was very weak and his limbs were tired and powerless, but it wasn't to the extent that he couldn't even open his eyes and observe the environment. He kept thinking about some miscellaneous questions, not letting his mind rest. It was actually a kind of escape.
Because he really did remember those eyes and knew the person who saved him …
Who was it?
He had always been a man of his own mind. He knew what he should do and what he shouldn't do. But he had to admit that he didn't know how to face the reunion under such circumstances, especially since the other party had just saved him …
But he had to face it.
…
Yu Zhen stood by the bed, hands behind her back, and bent down.
The monk's hat hid her beautiful hair, and a half-face mask painted with bodhi branches covered her nose and lips. But her pair of extremely enchanting eyes displayed their beauty without any concealment.
She looked at his face just like that.
This was a face that already had some edges and corners. It had been ruthlessly polished by the wind and frost of the world, but it still retained its original delicate and pretty feeling.
The space between his brows was serene, with a kind of tranquil strength.
His long and thin eyelashes quietly drooped down, as if hiding his thoughts.
It made people want to see the truth all the more.
This young Tianjiao, who was the focus of the world's attention, this young man who was regarded as "demonic" by the world's most powerful empire, how would he feel when he was alone?
How would he face his pain, how would he resist his sorrow?
His eyelashes trembled slightly and then opened.
This injured person lying on the bed finally opened his eyes.
This pair of eyes was neither big nor small. It wasn't the kind of eyes that could make you feel the magic of creation at a glance. It also wasn't as sharp as it had been on the river-viewing platform.
Most of the time, it should be calm, peaceful, and firm. It was like a clear stream meandering by itself. It calmly flowed in its own direction, on the stones and in the forest, without looking back.
In this process, it would encounter fallen leaves, dead branches, stones, and of course, mud, insects, and algae.
But it was clear.
Obviously, it had experienced so much and seen so much, but it was still so clean. It could wash the bluestone and clean the moon.
She had once wanted to change it, but in the end, she was drenched in that kind of gaze.
She could never forget it.
That's right, that's the gaze right now.
True Jade saw her own reflection in the clear stream … The bodhi branch on the mask that represented wisdom and awareness really looked like a withered branch lying across the water surface.
She asked, "Is Ken awake?"
The word "Ken" had already explained everything.
…
When Jiang Wang opened his eyes, this was what he saw —
A pair of bewitching eyes first occupied his field of vision.
He was too close.
Their eyes only met for an instant, but it was enough to make one nervous.
Perhaps because he was too weak, this wasn't a safe distance …
It was only after he forcefully averted his gaze that he saw the exquisitely carved bodhi mask. He could feel the tranquility and simplicity within it … So, it was only a mask.
Then he heard the question.
Of course, he could understand the teasing and teasing, but it shouldn't be in this kind of atmosphere …
They shouldn't have gotten along so easily.
Therefore, his gaze turned cold.
"You're too close."
"Are you nervous?" she said.
Her voice was languid and charming, and it was even to the extent that her breath that was enshrouded in a delicate fragrance seemed to have already brushed past his face.
Jiang Wang just couldn't avoid it.
"You think that I'm seriously injured right now, so I should be at the mercy of others, right?" he asked in a calm voice.
The Dao essence in his body began to surge.
It was like a rushing current was brewing at the bottom of an underground river.
If he acted rashly at this time, he would inevitably be injured. They both understood this principle.
True Jade felt this person's persistence.
Therefore, she slowly raised her body.
During this process, the mountain range rose and fell, as if it was being pushed by the wind. Thus, it gradually moved further and further away.
The scenery was like a dream that couldn't be approached.
"I'm very curious, how did you recognize me?" She used her index finger to point at her mask. "This mask's concealment effect is very good."
Jiang Wang didn't move again. He only gritted his teeth and said, "I'll recognize you even if you turn into ashes!"
"Oh, is this a confession?" Her beautiful eyes flowed with a smile. "It really is very moving words of love. In this world, there won't be anyone else who can remember me so clearly. "
Perhaps because he was too weak, Jiang Wang simply closed his eyes and no longer looked at her. He only asked, "Why did you save me?"
The woman's voice seemed to be by his ear, but it seemed to be in his heart, always restlessly circling around.
She said with a chuckle, "It's convenient."
"I'm a very caring person. Usually, when I see cats and dogs by the roadside, I'll feed them some food. Isn't it reasonable to pick up a dying person and bring him back? "
With his eyes closed, he couldn't see her appearance or the expression in her eyes.
But thinking about it, those eyes were still full of mischievous laughter at this moment.
She always liked to tease and tease people.
Jiang Wang felt a kind of anger for no reason in his heart. He said hatefully, "The food you feed cats and dogs must be quite poisonous, right?"
"I don't know. Maybe I should ask those cats and dogs themselves?" The woman's voice lingered. "I only know that some puppies are still alive and kicking. It seems that they can even bite people!"
Jiang Wang was speechless.
He gritted his teeth and struggled to get up. He didn't want to be angry and suffocated here.
But a finger gently pressed on his forehead, and the weak strength he had accumulated was quantified, pressing him until he couldn't move.
Her hand was so cold.
But this really looked like the action he used to suppress Stupid Gray when it was naughty.
Jiang Wang was ashamed and angry. At this moment, he hated the black-clothed demon in the Wanjie Desolate Tomb … If that demon hadn't attacked indiscriminately, I, Jiang Wang, a dignified Tianfu cultivator, wouldn't have been like this!?
The woman probably saw that he finally recognized reality, so she moved her fingers away. Her fingertips seemed to brush past the straight peak of his nose. Her voice was still soft and gentle. "Look, you're still not honest even now."
If Jiang Wang could jump up, he would have jumped up long ago. Unfortunately, he couldn't. He only gritted his teeth and said, "I won't owe you anything! I'll also save you one more time. Who did you find to treat my injuries? What treasures did you use? Just tell me! When my injuries are healed, I'll definitely double … "
His words came to an abrupt halt. Because the woman's aura had disappeared.
She left the room.
There was no farewell, no foresight, nothing said.
She came like a fleeting swan and left like a dream. She was caught without a trace.
Jiang Wang was silent for a long time before he opened his eyes again.
This was a set of delicately shaped bed with a moon-shaped door cover. He didn't know what wood it was made of. He only felt that it had a calming fragrance.
But it was carved with lotus patterns.
The white curtain was hung up with delicately shaped silver hooks. This small world was open to him.
Jiang Wang closed his eyes again.
He wasn't in the mood to explore.
