There will always be people who appear when you least expect to see them, and we call these people 'sinners'.
There will always be things that happen when you least expect to see them, and we call these things' debts'.
It was obvious that Fleeting Time's appearance in the prison cell was a sinner's debt.
Ye Ci stared at Fleeting Time in disbelief. She could not figure out how this person could appear in the prison cell. The person leaned against the mottled wall in the dark and damp prison cell with a faint smile on his face. It was a relaxed expression that Ye Ci hated. His silver hair did not stand out in the dim light of the prison cell, and his eyes were fixed on Ye Ci. It was as if she was the most important thing to him at that very moment.
Ye Ci shivered for no reason. It was not a cold. It was a sensitive feeling that Ye Ci was born with.
It was a feeling that belonged to animals. Every time there was a disturbance, it might not be the arrival of danger, but it might be the prelude to it. Animals would have a keen sense of danger. In fact, they might not be able to sense anything, but it was a warning to them that something was approaching.
And that was what Ye Ci was feeling right now. Ye Ci was never afraid of Fleeting Time. Or rather, she was never afraid of anything. Even when she had been shot by his arrow in her past life and was exhausted, she had never been afraid. And in this life, their lives were originally unfocused. But she was the one who walked into his life because of the unwillingness and regret of her past life. Although she knew from the beginning that this person was definitely not an easy opponent to deal with, she had never been afraid.
Pressure was never a reason for Ye Ci to be afraid, and strength was not an excuse for Ye Ci to be afraid.
But now, for some reason, she felt a deep sense of fear towards the person in front of her.
Ye Ci did not know why. It was not because she was afraid of surpassing him, nor was it because she was afraid of losing to him. But she had an inexplicable fear of him. Ye Ci did not know when it started, but it had grown stronger recently. Whenever he appeared beside her, she would have the urge to run away. Even if she could kill him, even if she could defeat him, she would still feel a deep sense of nervousness and helplessness in the face of Ye Ci, even if he was a corpse.
Just like right now.
Fleeting Time was standing not far away from Ye Ci, but she felt the urge to bury herself in a corner. She gripped the bars of her cell so tightly that her knuckles turned white. She did not even dare to look at Fleeting Time. She pretended to be disgusted and snorted, "What are you doing here?"
"I'm here to visit you, of course!" Fleeting Time said matter-of-factly as he walked towards Ye Ci.
Ye Ci subconsciously took a step back. Although the two of them were still a few yards apart, Ye Ci could feel that she was about to be crushed to death. Fleeting Time's unique aura pressed down on her, and she had nowhere to run.
Fleeting Time raised an eyebrow, "Are you afraid of me?"
"Who's afraid of you?" Ye Ci immediately retorted. She snorted and took in a deep breath, "I just don't want you to get too close to me."
"It's not like I'm going to eat you. So what if I'm too close to you?" Fleeting Time's gaze swept across Ye Ci's face, as if he was trying to find something suspicious from her expression.
Ye Ci could not put her finger on it. She bit her lips and sat down. She closed her eyes and ignored Fleeting Time.
The corner of Fleeting Time's lips curled into a smile. He walked up to the bars of the cell, took out some food and alcohol, and placed them in front of Ye Ci.
Ye Ci opened her eyes and stared at the food in front of her. Her mouth twitched, but she did not say a word.
"It's a waste of energy to stay in the cell. You've never brought any food with you. You'll be able to survive for three days if you keep these food in the cell." It was rare for Fleeting Time to not tease Ye Ci.
Ye Ci gulped. She lowered her head and remained silent.
"Are you angry?" Fleeting Time sat down when he saw that Ye Ci was not looking at him. He extended his hand to touch Ye Ci's hair, but decided against it in the end. He grabbed the fruit in front of Ye Ci and stuffed it into her hand.
Ye Ci raised her head and looked at Fleeting Time calmly. Her eyes were as deep as the stars in the night sky. She stared at Fleeting Time in silence, as if she did not know him at all.
Fleeting Time was a little flustered. This was the first time he was faced with a situation that was out of his control. It was a strange feeling, and it made him nervous. A person should not be nervous, or they will do things that are out of their control. Fleeting Time warned himself, but the smile on his face was still a little timid.
Timid? That's right. Fleeting Time would never admit it, but that was exactly what he was feeling in his heart. He was actually a little afraid of Ye Ci. He was not afraid of her strength, her ambition, or her pride. He was afraid of her rejection. It was precisely because he was afraid of her rejection that he used the most childish, ridiculous, and stupid method, which was to constantly provoke her and make her angry. He used this method to get close to her. Even though he knew that the consequences would be dire, it was the best solution he could come up with for someone like him who had no experience in such matters.
Someone once said that every male had their own unique method of courtship. It might not be able to win a female's heart, but it was definitely the most unique method.
But Fleeting Time's method was a little … childish. In Absalom's words, Fleeting Time's method was the same as the method he used to woo girls in elementary school. Of course, he was beaten up by Fleeting Time for saying that. But one had to admit that Fleeting Time was just that childish.
Fleeting Time gulped as he stared into Ye Ci's bright eyes, "Are you really angry?"
Ye Ci remained silent.
"Alright, I know I'm wrong. I'll make sure to avoid you the next time you try to kill me in the city. I won't let you be killed so easily, and I won't let you get caught by the guards again. Alright?" Fleeting Time let out a bitter smile, "Don't be angry. I've already apologized."
Ye Ci sighed. Fleeting Time had no idea what she was angry about.
She did not care if she had killed someone in the city, and she did not care if she would be locked up for a few days. She was more concerned about the current situation in the World Channel and Map Channel. Ye Ci felt like vomiting blood when she thought about how her name would be linked to Fleeting Time again.
"You're here to visit me?" Ye Ci let out a sigh and spoke to Fleeting Time in a flat tone.
"Yup." Fleeting Time nodded at Ye Ci with a smile, and nodded at Ye Ci.
"You may leave now that you're done." Ye Ci could no longer be bothered with him, and immediately sent him out of her sight.
Fleeting Time wanted to say something, but decided against it in the end, "Alright, alright. I'll leave now. Don't be angry anymore."
Ye Ci turned her head away. She did not want to talk to Fleeting Time anymore.
Fleeting Time scratched his head when he saw Ye Ci's reaction. He knew that he had done something wrong, but he could not figure out what it was. Since he would not be able to get anything out of her, he decided to leave for the time being. She would be locked up in the cell for the next three days, and he would have plenty of time to visit her.
"Little Ci!" Fleeting Time was just about to leave when a gentle voice rang out in the cell. But this time, there was a hint of anxiety in the voice, and a Warrior in plate armor strode into the cell.
Little Ci? Fleeting Time narrowed his eyes. Is that Gongzi You's name in real life? Calmly, he stood to the side and looked at the plate-armored warrior, quietly sizing him up.
Ye Ci immediately opened her eyes when she heard the voice. She jumped up from the ground and rushed to the front of the cell. She stared at the plate-armored Warrior in surprise, "Why are you here?"
"Why am I here? The whole world knows about your murder. How can I not know about it? I'm in Hero City right now, so I came to see you. " Bai Mo was relieved when he saw that Ye Ci was alive and kicking. He reached his hand through the bars of the cell and ruffled Ye Ci's hair.
This was something that Bai Mo would do with Ye Ci, but it was a completely different story for Fleeting Time. His eyes narrowed even more, and in those thin slits, there was an undisguised dangerous aura. And Bai Mo was the target of that aura.
Bai Mo felt a chill run down his spine, as if someone was glaring at him. He turned around and looked at the source of the stare. As expected, he saw a silver-haired male Elf glaring at him from a short distance away. The Elf's eyes were filled with undisguised hostility, bloodlust, and madness. Bai Mo was stunned.
He then understood what was going on. A smile appeared on Fleeting Time's face, and he nodded at Fleeting Time as a form of greeting, before turning to Ye Ci, "You're not going to be able to leave tonight, are you?"
"Yup."
"Then you can hang up. I'll call you when it's time for dinner." Bai Mo purposely said.
Ye Ci was puzzled. Bai Mo had never called for her when it was time for dinner. It was as if he was hoping that she would not steal his food. Did the sun rise from the west today? However, on second thought, perhaps it was because she was pitiful to be locked up in prison, so she decided to be kind. She nodded, "Alright."
Fleeting Time felt even more uneasy when he heard the conversation.
This man seems to be very familiar with Gongzi You, and they even know each other in real life. As the saying goes, the pavilion closest to the water enjoys the moonlight first. Even if they are not a couple, their relationship is closer than my relationship with Gongzi You. If I don't get rid of this man soon, won't my efforts be in vain?
He could not help but feel frustrated at the thought of it. He was furious when he saw how intimate the man was with Ye Ci. But when he saw how amiable Ye Ci was with the man, he felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his heart.
Gongzi You had always been angry with him. Even when she was not showing such an expression, she would always be expressionless. He had never seen such an amiable expression on her face before. Fleeting Time felt even more uncertain. Am I going to lose her before I even get her?
His mind was in a mess. He looked at the smile on Gongzi You's face, and then looked at the man's smile. It was an eyesore to him. The most dazzling thing was his own existence. He stood there like an unnecessary clown. He gritted his teeth and no longer looked at the two of them. He straightened his back and quickly walked out of the cell.
The smile on Bai Mo's face widened when Fleeting Time disappeared from the cell. He looked at Ye Ci, "That was Fleeting Time, right?"
"Yup." Ye Ci's mind was in a mess at the mention of Fleeting Time.
Bai Mo did not seem to notice Ye Ci's strange behavior. He nodded and said, "He seems to be very powerful."
"Powerful my ass!" Ye Ci was displeased when she heard Bai Mo's praise, "He's a shameless hooligan! Hmph! I don't know what I've done to offend him, but I'll never have a good day if I run into him!" she grumbled.
"Is that so?" Bai Mo dragged his voice as he looked at Ye Ci with a mocking gaze.
"You don't believe me, do you?" Ye Ci frowned when she saw that Bai Mo was doubting her words.
Bai Mo did not deny her words. He patted her head and looked at the supplies on the ground, "I'll be leaving now. The guild members are waiting for me. You can take your time." If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
