Chapter 618
Yun Qingwu appeared calm, and she did not look anxious at all . She was standing there looking beautifully at Fang Zhengzhi, not saying a single word .
This made Fang Zhengzhi felt really awkward .
Yun Qingwu remained silent and calm, and Fang Zhengzhi considered repeating his previous sentence . ”The moon is so round today, if there really aren't anybody around here, n.o.body would find out about what I'm going to do next right?”
But it did not seem fitting right now .
Fang Zhengzhi felt that he should wait patiently, till Yun Qingwu looked frightened and scared, then he would edge his way closer to her slowly .
But moments later… . .
Fang Zhengzhi decided to give up on that idea, as Yun Qingwu did not seem like she wanted to continue the conversation with him . She only stared at him silently .
It felt as if she was waiting too .
Both of them were waiting for one another, but one of them had to compromise in the end .
”You came to the Northern Mountain Village to find me?” Fang Zhengzhi could not endure any longer, and he sat down on the gra.s.s patch in front of Yun Qingwu .
”Yes . ” Yun Qianwu nodded her head, as she looked away . She pointed to a box of snacks and the pile of fruits beside it, ”I harvested them from the mountains and have washed them already . ”
”A Demon Young Lord, harvesting fruits from the mountains?” Fang Zhengzhi replied as he took a fruit and put it in his mouth . It was sweet and refres.h.i.+ng, he squinted abit and asked, ”Why did you come looking for me?”
”Of course, I'm here to seek revenge for the Southern Region . ” Yun Qingwu replied almost immediately, her tone sounding extra calm and stable .
”Hehe . . . So you're here to seek revenge, I supposed the thing beside is a knife and not snacks?” Fang Zhengzhi grinned at her, feeling relaxed .
What joke was she trying to pull? Yun Qingwu came alone to seek revenge by herself? How was that even possible?
”I have heard that you do not have much time left . ” Yun Qingwu did not reply Fang Zhengzhi straightaway this time round . She, too, picked up a fruit and put it into her mouth .
The way Yun Qingwu munched on the fruit looked elegant and perfect . Be it holding or chewing the fruit, she always managed to radiate a positive vibe .
”Probably . ” Fang Zhengzhi did not deny what she had mentioned . In fact, the news must have spreaded since the battle in Flame Capital City .
”You took half a year to enter the Sagely State . That sounds really difficult . ”
”Indeed it was . ”
”Do you want to listen to a song?”
”Do you know how to play?”
”No . ”
”I'll have the song 'Mountain Waterfall Cascade' then . ”
”Sure . ”
The sound of the strings started filling the night sky again, adding a touch of elegance to the silent wilderness, resembling just like a fairyland .
That was a strange moment .
Two acquaintances, or some would even label them as enemies, sitting facing each other .
One asked if she was afraid of getting killed .
While the other replied saying that she was here to seek revenge .
They were supposed to be fighting one another, or at least stayed cautious . But one was playing the instrument as the other admired on while appreciating the night breeze accompanied by the moonlight .
The song ended .
Fang Zhengzhi's eyes remained shut as he lied down on the gra.s.s patch, his hand holding his head . He then picked up some snacks and gobbled them down again .
They tasted delicious and smelt heavenly .
”Do you know how to play ”The Swordsman?”
”The Swordsman?” Yun Qingwu's looked softly at Fang Zhengzhi who was lazing around on the ground .
Awaiting for Fang Zhengzhi's reply .
However, Fang Zhengzhi did not continue . Instead, he hummed softly .
”Take the material world lightly, infatuated love is a tomfoolery, may as well to be chesty, this lifetime is still lengthy, but the heart is in peace already, for the rest of life I just want to be easy… . . ”
”This is called the Swordsman?”
Yun Qingwu finally opened her mouth, after Fang Zhengzhi had finished humming the song, showing a sense of complexity .
”No, this song is called The Mundane World . ”
”The Mundane World? Didn't you say that was the Swordsman?”
”Oh, to be exact, the Swordsman is actually a story, and The Mundane World is an episode in this story . Actually, I know of a song that sounds pretty nice too . ”
”What is it called?”
”A Laughter From the Seas!”
”A Laughter From the Seas? Hmmm, that sounds nice, can you sing it for me?”
”That's only if you dance along with it!”
”Sure!” Yun Qingwu agreed without much hesitation . She moved the string instrument aside .
The song filled the air under the moonlight .
Wearing a white dress, she danced gracefully, her snow white dress brus.h.i.+ng lightly across the gra.s.s patch . Her legs paced slowly and gently on the ground .
It was a beautiful scene .
Fang Zhengzhi opened his eyes slowly, admiring Yun Qingwu dancing . At that moment, he felt as though he almost saw Chang'er .
”This girl . . . . can certainly act well!”
. . .
Time pa.s.sed by, as the moon hung up high, and the stars s.h.i.+mmered as brightly as ever . The moonlight shone on the both of them, who were lying down on the gra.s.spatch .

”Can you tell me about the story of the Swordsman?”
”Oh, I can't, it has its own copyright issue . ”
”Copyright?”
”Hmm yeah, in summary, it just means that n.o.body can speak of it, unless he has seeked for permission . ”
”I see, then I shall share a story . ”
”What story?”
”It's the origin of the Demon Race . ”
”Sure, but since I'm curious, I will just ask a question . Do you call yourself a Demon?”
”Are Demons not good?”
”It doesn't sound that nice as compared to a sage or a G.o.d . ”
”That is just what the human always thought of us . We don't think that Demons are bad . In fact, we think that Humans are worse . ”
”I see, I guessed I just gained an advantage . ” Fang Zhengzhi nodded his head .
”Advantage? Must you be so shameless?” Yun Qingwu hissed under her breath .
”Errrrr… . . I was just purely trying to express my thoughts . ” Fang Zhengzhi argued back, though his face seemed to blush a little . He felt like he had just been caught off guard, because from past experiences, others would only refer to his ”knowledge” .
How could have Yun Qingwu guessed that he was talking about his advantage?
