Chapter: 1284 (2/2)

She then lifted her head to look at Qing Shui. She noticed that his gaze was very clear and he also exuded a feeling that would make one quietly trust his words, even if they had only met for the first time. She realized that her good impression of his hadn’t been lost and hadn’t been affected in the least.

At the very start, she thought that it was because of Yu Ruyan but she now realized that it wasn’t completely so. She gradually realized that when a person remembers another and did so deeply, it was a start of some sort of emotions. The emotions would then slowly change as things happened. When one event or multiple events struck one deeply, then there would be an intrinsic change.

These portraits could be seen as something like that!

Qing Shui looked at Tantai Xuan. He could sense a hint of the changes she was going through but he didn’t feel embarrassed. It was very fast for a man to like a woman. Actually, when that scene had happened, Qing Shui had already thought that he wanted to chase Tantai Xuan. However, he had not had the chance to do so.

Men like beautiful women, women with character, women with good disposition, dignified women and also women who were like demonesses. It would be best if the woman were to act like a demoness before themselves only.

Qing Shui felt that he was fickle as well. It was very simple to like a lady but he had a sense of responsibility which made him draw back almost all of his fickle attitude. However, there would still be oversight. These oversights must be destined and Tantai Xuan was one of them.

Tantai Xuan paused for a moment before saying softly, “You aren’t allowed to touch me, only I can touch you, unless I’ve agreed to it.”

Qing Shui wanted to say more but hadn’t expected Tantai Xuan to give such a powerful reply. Qing Shui sensed that Tantai Xuan’s words seemed to be a little similar to what her Master seem had said.

“Then are we considered husband and wife now?” Qing Shui quickly asked.

“Dream on. We aren’t.”

“Then are we considered to be engaged?” Qing Shui asked again.

“Don’t be hoping to save yourself trouble. You said that you’ll be pursuing me. Why, are you thinking of carrying me straight to the bed now?” Right now, Tantai Xuan’s gaze was a little cold.

“That’s true. Whatever you say. I knew that would be a little too fast and it wouldn’t be fair to you. However, even if you were to touch me, I’ll have to give you a reminder.” Qing Shui once again demonstrated how shameless he could be.

Seeing Qing Shui acting this way, Tantai Xuan was helpless as well. With a blink, she took two steps forward, summoned her courage and wrapped her arms around Qing Shui’s neck and looked at him, blushing.

Agitated, Qing Shui wrapped his arms around Tantai Xuan’s slender waist.

“You’re not allowed to touch me, only I can touch you. You’ve already forgotten what you said earlier?” Tantai Xuan looked at Qing Shui, her face flushed.

With her beautiful face in such close proximity that he could sense her breathing on his face, Qing Shui found it very hard for him to sit still.

Qing Shui quickly removed his hands but soon hugged her lightly again. He knew that since Tantai Xuan could say that earlier, she had basically already agreed. It could even be said that it was a done deal and she was his woman. However, due to the reservations she had as a woman, she was doing this.

Qing Shui hadn’t expected that a few portraits could have such a big effect. What he didn’t know was that Tantai Xuan also excelled in drawing but just did not have the same mastery as Qing Shui. Therefore, she knew what those drawings Qing Shui drew represented. Something at this level couldn’t be drawn just by imitating. A drawing can only be done well when the artist likes the object drawn. For him to be able to draw her so well, to be able to even bring out her charms and aura… This was why she believed in Qing Shui. She was suddenly struck with realization.

Qing Shui hugged Tantai Xuan, feeling satisfied. It was because she was one of the ladies on the Portraits of Beauty and he liked her as well. It was natural for men to like beautiful women. Another thing was about the twelve heavenly meridians. Qing Shui was also wondering if he would be able to clear all of his twelve heavenly meridians in the future.

He didn’t know if others could clear up their twelve heavenly meridians but at the very least, what he knew now was that other people didn’t have their twelve heavenly meridians cleared up. However, the ladies he had a relationship which would have one of the twelve heavenly meridians cleared up and thus have some increment to their spirit energy and abilities.

“Qing Shui, I feel weird!”

“What’s wrong?” Qing Shui asked softly.

“I realized that there are some additional things in my heart now.”

“Is the additional thing me, some concern, as well as some things which are indescribable?”

“Mmm! How did you know?!” Tantai Xuan lifted her head in astonishment.

“It’s because it’s the same for me. Another thing is, Xuan`er, you’re in love!” Qing Shui smiled and said.

Hearing the way Qing Shui addressed her, Tantai Xuan also felt a strange feeling appearing in her heart.

Not long later, Yu Ruyan came out. She smiled and looked at the two who were locked in an embrace. When Tantai Xuan saw Yu Ruyan, she quickly pushed away Qing Shui, feeling embarrassed as her face turned flushed red.

Yu Ruyan smiled and went up to take Tantai Xuan’s hands, saying “I knew that such a day would happen. Sister Xuan, what you embarrassed about? This is something happy. I was more afraid that you wouldn’t like him.”
