In the early morning, Zi Yang walked out of the big tent, and the warm breeze blew across his face. He opened his arms and closed his eyes to feel the brief comfortable time.
In the desert ruins, such a pleasant feeling can only be enjoyed at dawn.
As time went by, the scorching sun gradually rose, and a ray of sunshine shone on his smiling face. He understood that hot and boring days were coming, and the smile on his face gradually solidified.
Suddenly, he smelled a strong scent of jasmine in the wind, accompanied by the scent of animal meat. He knew without thinking that Qiu Qianqian must be here.
Zi Yang opened his eyes, looked in the direction of the scent, and saw a girl in red clothes walking towards him.
Zi Yang smiled and said, "You came here so early."
Qiu Qianqian handed the bamboo pole skewered with animal meat in front of him and said shyly and seriously: "As your wife, I should take care of you."
After hearing her words, when Ziyang's outstretched palm was still an inch away from the bamboo pole, he paused slightly, with an unnatural expression on his face.
After a few breaths, he took the bamboo pole and sat on the gravel without saying a word, eating the delicious animal meat.
Seeing his silence, Qiu Qianqian felt very aggrieved and said, "You promised me that as long as she agrees, you will accept me as a child. But your current actions tell me that you dislike me very much."
"No. Why would I dislike you? Don't think so wildly." Zi Yang spoke calmly and continued to eat the animal meat without looking at her.
Qiu Qianqian sat next to him, leaning her side on his shoulder. Ziyang paused, but didn't push her away.
She hugged Zi Yang's arm tightly with her jade arms and whispered: "Tell me what I did wrong and I can change it. Don't do this to me."
Zi Yang said carefully: "Although I don't know how strong Qiu Leng is, I fully understand that your identity is definitely extraordinary."
"I'm just a humble boy who came out of the mountains with nothing. I... am not worthy of you."
Whether it was his clothing, temperament, or Qiu Qianqian's noble status, these factors were like an unreachable mountain, making him feel even more stressed.
If the two of them continued to be friends, he would have the same attitude towards her as before, but now that their relationship had sublimated again, he felt that he and Qiu Qianqian were not from the same world at all.
Compared with her, he had nothing but a heart to become stronger and a heart to pursue strength, that's all.
Qiu Qianqian said extremely firmly: "I don't care about your life experience. As long as I can be with you, it is the greatest happiness in my life. Don't belittle yourself. In my heart, you will always be the strongest and the most perfect."
Zi Yang looked at her sideways and said, "Give me some time. When I am truly capable, I will definitely marry you."
Qiu Qianqian was worried that he would misunderstand, so she hurriedly explained: "Why do I have to wait for you to become stronger? I said, I don't care about these, I only care about you."
Zi Yang smiled and stretched out his hand, scratched her tall nose through the veil, and said, "If you don't have the strength, you don't have the right to speak. Even if you are willing, your family may not agree."
"This is the concern in my heart. Without strong enough power, you will never be respected by others."
Qiu Qianqian remained silent, and her hands holding his arms became tighter, as if she was afraid that he would escape.
Zi Yang stared at her and asked curiously: "We have known each other for so long, are you still unwilling to take off your veil and let me see your true face?"
Qiu Qian's eyes dimmed, he lowered his eyebrows, retracted his arms, and slowly turned sideways, obviously not wanting to take off the veil.
Upon seeing this, Zi Yang was afraid that she might misunderstand, so he immediately said, "I have no other intention. Just forget it if you don't want to pick it."
Qiu Qianqian slowly shook her head and said softly: "It's not that I don't want to, but I'm afraid that taking off the veil will scare you."
Zi Yang said carefully: "How could it be? The body, hair and skin are received by the parents, and there is nothing that they dare not show to others."
Qiu Qianqian clasped her fingers and said, "I hope you can understand me. At least, I won't take off my veil now."
Zi Yang looked at her side face and said, "It doesn't matter. You have such a kind heart and you must be very beautiful. I can understand it."
"If I look ugly, will you still marry me?" Qiu Qianqian turned sideways, not daring to look at him.
Zi Yang said truthfully: "The beauty or ugliness of a person's face is only superficial. The beauty of the soul is the purest beauty. No matter what your appearance is, I won't mind."
Qiu Qian said with a smile, "You are really good at talking."
Zi Yang explained carefully: "What I said is true. No matter what you look like, at least you will not harm me, nor will you harm other people for no reason."
"A woman with a stunning face has a harmful heart. No matter how flawless her appearance is, one day people will discover the ugliness of her heart."
At this moment, Hua Yao stood not far away, stared at the two of them, and asked, "What are you two talking about?"
Qiu Qianqian immediately turned around, lightly touched Ziyang's face through the veil, and left shyly.
When she passed Hua Yao, the latter smiled and nodded, with no jealousy on his beautiful face.
Zi Yang looked at the two women who were as close as sisters. He really couldn't figure out what methods Qiu Qianqian used to make Hua Yao accept her willingly.
After Qiu Qianqian left, she slowly came to sit beside Ziyang and said proudly, "How is it? Isn't the marriage I found for you a good one?"
Zi Yang swallowed the beast meat in his mouth and said with a smile: "You are a nice person and have a good heart. I'm just afraid of wronging you."
The love between three people is definitely not perfect. One party will eventually be more or less indifferent. This is inevitable and no one can control it or change it.
Hua Yao lay on his legs, her head resting on his arm, looking at the worried Zi Yang, and smiled: "How could I be wronged? She is a very kind person, and she is devoted to you. I will serve you together with her." , it’s not too late to be happy.”
Zi Yang exhaled and said helplessly: "Once the balance is broken, one party will naturally be favored and the other party will be ignored. Don't you understand this principle? Can you tell me why you agreed to her?"
Hua Yao held his waist with both hands, put her face against his chest, and said without any worry: "She is a good girl, she knows how to take care of others, and she has no bad intentions. What's more, you have looked at her body. We should also be responsible for her."
Zi Yang's face turned red, and he immediately felt something bad, and asked hurriedly: "Besides these, what else did she tell you?"
Feeling his heartbeat speeding up, Hua Yao rolled her eyes at him and said softly: "I don't even care, what are you afraid of?"
Ziyang was worried that Qiu Qianqian was talking nonsense, so he immediately explained: "The last time we were outside the ghost gate, she gave me the pill. I couldn't control myself. It was not what I wanted to do."
Hua Yao raised her pink fist and lightly punched him on the chest, saying: "Look at how anxious you are, I know your character well and I won't be grudged because of this trivial matter."
As soon as she finished speaking, a slightly dissatisfied voice sounded, but it sounded like she was joking.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey, how unbecoming it is for you two to cuddle and hug here in public!"
Hua Yao still leaned in Zi Yang's arms, showing no intention of getting up, and there was no trace of panic on her fair and flawless face.
Zi Yang didn't look back, he smiled and joked: "You still know how to come back? I thought you were going to stay in the Spirit Clan."
"What are you talking about? Am I, Jia Juesheng, the kind of person who forgets his own righteousness for the sake of profit?"
Before Jia Juesheng could even sit down, a sound of reprimand came from the tent behind him.
"You Jia Juesheng, you dare to come back!" Zhufeng opened the curtain and rushed out, grabbing Jia Juesheng's lapel, as if he was going to beat him.
When Jia Juesheng saw his facial injuries and the menacing Zhufeng, he was at a loss and said, "I've been with the Spiritual Tribe these past few days, and I didn't mess with you. What are you doing?"
"Didn't you offend me?!" Zhufeng pointed at the scars on his face and said sternly: "Did you see it! Did you see it! The wounds on my face are all thanks to you. I will definitely ask you to recover this debt today. !”
Pei Yuan led Xiaohai out of the tent and shouted hurriedly: "Zhufeng, what are you doing!"
Zhufeng didn't even look at him and said, "Pei Yuan, don't worry about this. I have to teach him a lesson this time."
Jia Juesheng listened for a while and guessed a bit, but he couldn't take the matter of Zhu Feng being beaten up on him, so he pretended to be puzzled and said: "No. I didn't hit you, but on your face What does your injury have to do with me?"
"Bah! How dare you say it doesn't matter! If you hadn't gone to the Spiritual Clan, would those people have attacked me?!" Zhufeng said what he said was reasonable, and those who didn't know really thought he was innocent.
"What does my going to the Spirit Clan have to do with you?" Jia Juesheng pretended to be confused, still looking like he didn't know anything.
Not allowing him to say any more, Zhufeng raised his right fist and aimed to hit Jia Juesheng in the face.
Zi Yang helped Hua Yao up and stopped him, "Zhu Feng, wasn't the beating you received last time enough?"
"If you hadn't been talking nonsense while drunk, those people from the Spirit Clan wouldn't have beaten you for no reason. In the final analysis, this matter is your fault and has nothing to do with Jia Juesheng."
Zhufeng retracted the palm that was holding Jia Juesheng's clothes and said with a smile on his face: "Zi Yang, you let me punch him to vent my anger, and then you can try to persuade me. If you don't tell me sooner or later, you have to wait. I’m about to hit him in the face with my fist, if you stop me again.”
"You will make me lose face if you say that."
Zi Yang looked at Zhufeng and couldn't help but laugh: "What kind of face do you need? How important is it to have friends?"
While several people were talking, a gust of cold wind blew by, the desert sand gradually rose, and the restless voices of the ghost disciples came out.
"Look! Look! What is that?"
"That...that is!"
Qiliang rushed into Qilong's tent with a folding fan in hand and said in a panic: "Qilong! Qilong! Ouch! Don't sleep anymore, wake up quickly, something big happened outside."
"What's going on? Are you in such a panic?" Qi Long yawned and sat on the bed. He rubbed his sleepy eyes, pointed at the noise outside the tent, and asked, "What's wrong? What's wrong? What are they shouting about? ?”
"You'd better go out with me and take a look. If it's later, it'll be too late." Qiliang pulled him and rushed out.
