Chapter 753 (2/2)

“Then stop rubbing my head . ” Xiao An grabbed his huge hand and wrapped her hands around it gently .

“You’ve really grown up and developed thoughts of your own, haven’t you? You were such a good girl before, yet now I can’t even rub your head . If I had known this earlier, I would have never taken you to the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga . You’ve been led astray by those bald asses!” Li Qingshan groaned in great pain .

Xiao An bit her lip and placed his hand back on her head .

“That’s more like it!” Li Qingshan laughed aloud and pulled her into his arms . The faint fragrance of sandalwood filled his embrace, and he found peace . He asked gently, “Where do you want to go? What do you want to do first? I’ll do whatever you want!”

“I want to go home . ” Xiao An raised her face .

“Go home? You mean the Qing Xiao dwelling? You’re still not sick of seclusion after spending so much time cultivating?” Li Qingshan shook his head .

“You said you’d do whatever I want,” Xiao An said seriously .

“Alright then!” Li Qingshan said powerlessly .

In the Qing Xiao dwelling, a silver streak of moonlight poured in from the top of the cave .

Li Qingshan laid under the moonlight, gazing at the stars in the hole . Meanwhile, Xiao An laid quietly in his embrace, staring straight at him .

Her seaweed-like hair poured down like a waterfall, scattering on the stone platform and draping down the edges .

A while later, Li Qingshan lowered his head . “And then?”

“There’s no and then . ”

“Just like this?”

“Just like this is enough . ” Xiao An embraced him even more firmly .

“Alright then! You sure are easy to appease . ” Li Qingshan sighed with a smile . He also found this quite nice .

“Then we’ll stay like this for a century!” Xiao An’s eyes shone even more resplendently than the brightest star .

“Huh? A century here?”

“Yeah . Aren’t I easy to appease?” For once, Xiao An showed a hint of mischief, and only then did she conform to her appearance as a young maiden .

“You’ll get sick of it very quickly!” Li Qingshan pinched her cheek and treated it as a child’s talk .

“I won’t get sick of it . ” Xiao An paused for a moment and repeated herself, “I won’t get sick of it!”

What she had been pursuing was not a distant land, but here . She worked hard on cultivation just so she could hold onto this moment for longer . In a quiet world without anyone to disturb them, only they existed . That was paradise .

Suddenly, Li Qingshan felt an impulse . Like what she had said, so what if he spent a century, a millennium like this? However, this impulse vanished in a flash . Compared to his dream, it was only like a gentle breeze, unable to leave behind a mark . Then he felt a little apologetic . Have I been thinking too much?

Xiao An abruptly smiled, rolling over and climbing on top of him . She raised her right hand and pointed at the depths of the starry sky . She said, “I want to go to beyond the Nine Heavens!”

In that moment, the radiance she gave off even left Li Qingshan dazzled . In a daze, he realised just how beautiful she was . Normally, she was always like a blank sheet of paper, a pool of clear water, pure and immaculate . But in that moment, she seemed to be dyed with the strongest, brightest colours, which gave him a sense of unfamiliarity, yet also a sense of déjà vu .

“Didn’t you just say you’ll stay here for a century?”

“I might be a skeleton, but I also have a heart!” Xiao An lowered her head and pressed her hand against his chest gently .
