Chapter: 674 (2/2)

Qing Shui walked out and noticed that there were a lot of people in the living room. Almost everyone was there. For a moment, they all looked really concerned when they saw Qing Shui. After finding out that he had recovered, everyone felt really happy. Unknowingly, Qing Shui had become a pillar of support to this place.

“Qing Shui, you have really recovered.” Di Qing stood in front of Qing Shui and looked at him seriously. The misty and bewildering eyes of hers were less than a third of a meter away from Qing Shui. She looked so pretty that Qing Shui wanted to avoid it.

There was a fresh yet seducing air from her mouth, which felt particularly good. He smiled and nodded: “Thanks for your concern. Don’t worry, I’m not going to die.”

A joyful smile appeared on Di Qing’s beautiful face: “I’m not worried about you. The good will always be short-lived while the bad will be able to live a thousand years. You’re a bad person.”

Since Qing Shui recovered, Di Qing once again had the mood to joke around. After Lady Duanmu had a conversation with Qing Shui, she stood up and was about to say her goodbyes. Previously, she had been quite worried about him.

As soon as he heard Lady Duanmu leaving, Qing Shui felt really empty: “Why don’t you go tomorrow. Let’s gather around for today.”

Qing Shui didn’t really mean it when he said that. There wasn’t much meaning to it. However, Lady Duanmu was obviously shaken up by what he said. But as soon as she saw Qing Shui’s clear eyes and his serious expression, she shook her head and smiled: “Lingshuang is worried about me, it’s time for me to go back.”

“I’ll accompany you!” Qing Shui knew that no one would be able to change Lady Duanmu’s mind once she has decided on something.

This time, Lady Duanmu didn’t reject Qing Shui’s request. She nodded her head.

The group saw her off outside the house. Both Qing Shui and Lady Duanmu mounted the enormous Ice Crane and said their goodbyes to everyone.

Both Qing Shui and Lady Duanmu stood on the back of the Ice Crane and flew ahead at an even speed. Ever since that incident, despite both’s their efforts to remain calm and pretend like nothing happened, they still felt really awkward deep in their hearts.

“Sorry to have made you worry!” Qing Shui said gently.

Lady Duanmu looked from afar and didn’t say anything. During the process of it, she turned back and looked at Qing Shui with a complicated look.

“You couldn’t forget about it?” Qing Shui asked gently after stopping for a while.

“You are the one who’s unable to forget about it.”

“Yeah, you’re right, I can’t.”

“You……”

Lady Duanmu turned back and stopped saying anything. She instantly blushed. It might be because of Qing Shui’s near death incident that made her looked over it.

“Lady Duanmu, if you……”

“Qing Shui, stop saying anything. I won’t think about any other things for now. I know what you want to say but it’s not the time for it, I can’t do it.” Lady Duanmu interrupted Qing Shui. She tried to avoid Qing Shui’s eyes in a very unnatural way.

Whenever she saw Qing Shui, she would think about the things that happened that day. One whole night.. For one whole night, she wrapped around a guy like a fool. That scar was craved really deeply within her heart. It’s not something which could be so easily forgotten.

There was no men who dared to get near her for twenty years… Twenty years of solitariness, it’s already really firm. The walls that she herself said would never collapse had actually been punctured that night. Despite all her attempts to fix it, it was futile. The more she thought of fixing it, the more it would collapse.

“Alright, alright, I’ll just listen to you. But one thing, do not ever think of not seeing me again. If anything happens, you must look for me. We’re friends. In any case… Good friends… And also, allow me to come see you in the future.” Qing Shui responded after thinking for a while.

Lady Duanmu smiled and nodded. However, not knowing if it was because of the “alright, alright” that he said previously, her heart beat faster and she blushed. She grudgingly looked at Qing Shui and noticed that he was actually quite naughty.

“You don’t have to see me off any further, go back!”

After the Ice Crane flew quite a distance, Lady Duanmu said gently.

“I’ll see you off a little while longer. I’ll feel more relieved after you pass this area.” This part of the area which she has to go through along her journey was quite chaotic. Nevertheless, Lady Duanmu’s strength was something which very few would dare to challenge.

Hence, Qing Shui’s words made Lady Duanmu laugh: “What’re you worried about? Could it be that there are formidable demonic beasts around here?”

“I’m afraid that you will be kidnapped by bandits. If that happens, how am I going to find you?” Qing Shui chuckled.

“Alright, go back, be obedient!” Lady Duanmu said gently.

Her gentle voice stunned Qing Shui. Qing Shui felt really unusual deep in his heart. He felt really warm and a kind of sweetness which he was unable to describe. He had a feeling that he was talking to a lover as well as an elder sister.
