Chapter 119 - Contention
The morning sunlight shone into the room, filling it with a warm atmosphere.
In the s.p.a.cious and bright room, the sun was s.h.i.+ning brightly. Xiang Yang held a towel in his hand and gently wiped off the blood from Ye Jingyi's body.
It was like pus.h.i.+ng away the clouds to see the clear sky. When Xiang Yang had wiped clean all of the frozen blood on Ye Jingyi's body, he revealed a perfect body that looked familiar, but that made him go insane.
The golden sunlight s.h.i.+ned onto Ye Jingyi's body, causing the water stains on her body to glow with a golden light. It was as if her entire body was covered in a layer of golden light, adding to her holy aura.
Xiang Yang looked at Ye Jingyi's face. That face that was more mature and charming than ten years ago had a faint blush on it, like a ripe peach, it really made people want to take a bite out of it.
”What a perfect woman.”
Ten years had pa.s.sed, and the girl he'd brought with him back then had already matured. Counting her age, she should be around thirty years old, but it seemed like time had not left any traces on her at all. If there were any traces of it, it would just be becoming more mature and full of charisma.
They all said that a woman was a flower when she was twenty. Although she was more feminine and mature when she was thirty, she couldn't compare to a young woman in her twenties in terms of youth and life aura. However, those words were completely useless on Ye Jingyi.
Ten years had pa.s.sed, and Ye Jingyi had changed a lot.
Recalling the scene from ten years ago, a woman with a ponytail, a pure and beautiful aura, and skin that could be broken by the wind, appeared in Xiang Yang's mind.
Compared to now, the Ye Jingyi from ten years ago only had an extra hint of youth, but now, she was the real beauty.
Without a doubt, Ye Yi was an absolute beauty. She was the most beautiful woman Xiang Yang knew, the best in figure and also the most feminine.
Her phoenix eyes, her perky nose, her alluring cherry lips, and her flawless face were all glowing with a holy light, as if she was the most beautiful piece of jade in the world, sparkling and translucent, but perfectly matched with her figure. Everything could be described with one word: perfect.
Xiang Yang's gaze swept across Ye Jingyi's body, and he couldn't suppress the fire in his heart.
He hurriedly covered Ye Jing with a blanket.
”Amitabha, what a sin.”
Xiang Yang muttered to himself as he carried the person who had cleaned Jing Yi's body to the bathroom. Before he could pour the blood off, the doorbell rang.
”Who's coming this time?” Puzzled, Xiang Yang put down the basin of blood that was about to be poured onto the ground and walked directly to the door.
”Hmm... Why is it you? ”
The door opened, revealing a smiling, nightmarish, yet delicate and moving face. It was the same person who had fallen off the cliff with him, the one who had received the Nine Flower Inheritance and shared the same cultivation as the world's top student, Heavenly Queen Qin Lan.
”Why can't it be me? Don't you welcome me? ” Qin Lan stood at the doorway, smiling as she looked at Xiang Yang. When she heard Xiang Yang's first sentence, only displeasure could be seen on her face.
”How could that be? Seeing that it's you, my heart feels like it's going to fly out of my chest. It's just that I'm too surprised. Didn't you say you were going to fly to the capital to continue filming?” Why hasn't he left yet? ” Xiang Yang said with a smile.
After parting ways with Qin Lan that day, Xiang Yang wanted to go to the Nine Flowers Mountain to find her Mysterious Green Flexible Sword, while Qin Lan went back to appease her fans and friends who were on the verge of going crazy. She had said that she would immediately rush to the next stop in the capital to film a video.
”Of course I'm thinking of you. I specifically stayed to look for you, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d, and you disappeared without a sound. You've been back for so many days, yet you didn't even give me a call. It took me so many days to find your place of residence.”
As Qin Lan spoke, her eyes glanced behind Xiang Yang. ”Why aren't you inviting me in yet? Could it be that you're afraid of being seen by me?”
”Uh, how could that be?” Xiang Yang cautiously glanced at the room and realized that the door had just been closed. Only then did he let out a sigh of relief.
”Then why don't you let me in?” When Qin Lan saw Xiang Yang's expression, she immediately grew suspicious. Her gaze turned to the tightly shut door, even more curious as to who was hiding inside.
”Aha! About this, I haven't come back in a long time. The room is too messy and is filled with dust. Don't go in and get yourself covered in dust.” Xiang Yang hesitated. If Qin Lan were to see a peerless beauty lying on her bed in her room, this G.o.ddess in the eyes of tens of thousands of people would probably erupt. She himself did not know what kind of bombardment she would have to endure.
Speaking of which, the relations.h.i.+p between Xiang Yang and Qin Lan might not have been that of a true couple, but it was still more like that of a couple.
This was the secret of dual cultivation. The 'Nine Magnificence Yin Yang Scripture' was a supreme technique for dual cultivation. Logically speaking, both men and women must have an unshakeable love for each other to be able to practice this technique.
However, Xiang Yang and Qin Lan had simultaneously received the cultivation technique's legacy, and were forced to enter a dual cultivation state at the same time. In the process of dual cultivation, their souls had become compatible with each other, and in the process of soul communication, the two of them seemed to have been together for tens of thousands of years. Their souls had been tied together by an invisible thread, becoming close friends with each other.
The current relations.h.i.+p between the two of them was very complicated. They looked like a couple, but at the same time, they didn't seem like one. In some ways, however, they surpa.s.sed most couples.
Although the two sides had yet to confirm their relations.h.i.+p, Xiang Yang was a guilty conscience. He did not dare let Qin Lan see Ye Jingyi inside the room.
”It's okay, I'm not obsessed with cleanliness. Since I have time now, I can help you clean your room.” Xiang Yang did not let Qin Lan in, and the doubt in Qin Lan's eyes grew even more intense. Looking at the room with the tightly shut door, her heart grew anxious as she forced her way in.
”No, there's no need. The interior is really too dirty and messy. I'm also going to ask the cleaning lady to come over and clean up. Let's just go outside.”
If Qin Lan saw Ye Jingyi lying on the bed in the tightly closed room, she wouldn't be able to explain herself. Moreover, the most important thing was that nothing had really happened between him and Ye Jingyi.
”I'm going in.”
If one were to say who in this world understood Xiang Yang the best, it would undoubtedly be Qin Lan, who had cultivated both Yin and Yang and communicated spiritually with Xiang Yang. The moment she saw Xiang Yang's appearance, how could she not understand that there was something fishy going on within Xiang Yang's room.
”Don't … ”Fine, I admit it …”
Xiang Yang smiled wryly in his heart. He felt that it was better for him to be honest and open, and wanted to tell everyone about how he saved Ye Jing Yi.
