In the hazy night, Gu Xu stood in the corner with nowhere to escape, watching Zhao Yan's face getting closer and closer to his. Those charming and seductive eyes were like a bottomless whirlpool, trying to sink his soul into it.
Under the breeze, her hair was wrapped in waves of fragrance and touched his cheek, making him feel itchy.
Her voice was more like a goblin's spell, causing his brain to almost lose the ability to think - he was so close to following her wishes and saying the "Okay" she wanted to hear.
He took a deep breath and tried to maintain the little sanity left in his heart.
"Actually..." He said the truth cruelly, "In the past few days, I have been trying to find a suitable opportunity to say goodbye to you."
This sentence seemed to consume all his strength.
After he finished speaking, it seemed that his soul had disappeared, and all that was left behind was an empty body.
And Zhao Yan's surging eyes clearly showed a hint of disappointment.
"Are you ready to go to the East China Sea?" she asked softly.
"Yeah." He nodded.
"Then what?"
"Then... look for the last fragment of my magic weapon. If nothing else, it should be in the west of the wilderness."
"Will you come back here after that?"
"I...I don't know."
After finding all the "Astrolabe" fragments, he should start preparing to face Emperor Tianxing. If he died in that battle, he would naturally not be able to return to the North.
"Then there's a high probability that he doesn't plan to come back." Zhao Yan smiled.
Her smile is intoxicating and lonely, like cherry blossoms falling in the wind from the branches in late spring.
Gu Xu looked at her and didn't know how to respond.
However, at this moment, she suddenly pushed him against the wall without any warning.
She stood on her toes slightly, wrapped one hand around the back of his neck, and grabbed his wrist with the other hand, pressing it against the wall to prevent him from moving.
Her hands are warm.
Her chest was also warm.
Separated by a layer of clothes, it clung to his chest, soft and full, making him feel like falling into a marshmallow.
Then she kissed him.
The eyelids drooped and the breath lingered.
Her kisses were not gentle at all. Instead, she was as fierce and domineering as a wild beast, demanding as much as she wanted, sucking his breath greedily, and occasionally biting his lips, causing him to feel a slight sting.
The last bit of reason in Gu Xu's heart collapsed.
He knew that the most correct thing for him to do now was to use his body skills to escape immediately to avoid becoming a prisoner of this female goblin.
But his mind has gone blank, and he has long forgotten how to perform the "Meteor Walking on the Moon" starting move.
"Open your mouth."
Zhao Yan ordered in a commanding tone.
"Don't, don't do this." Gu Xu hesitated, trying to stop her crazy behavior.
But the moment he opened his mouth to speak, the tip of her tongue got in.
The collision between tongue tips is like hiding and searching in a misty garden, one chasing and the other escaping.
The tip of the tongue slides over the taste buds on the surface of the tongue, like reeds swaying in the wind.
I don't know how much time passed, but Zhao Yan finally backed away slightly and let him go.
"It tastes so good."
She licked the corners of her mouth.
Like a female leopard licking her paws after wiping her prey clean.
Gu Xu looked away, not daring to look into her slightly drunken eyes and her faint blush.
"Is this your first time kissing?" Zhao Yan asked again, "You look shy and awkward, and you look like a young child at first glance."
"I'm not."
"You know best if you don't."
"I really am not."
Zhao Yan sneered.
"You like me."
After a short silence, she said lightly.
Her tone was firm—not like she was asking for his opinion, but like she was stating solid facts.
"I--"
"——Stop talking," she put her delicate white index finger on his lips, "your body is much more honest than your mouth."
As she spoke, she glanced down at him from the corner of her eye.
Only then did Gu Xu realize that his body had reacted at some point.
He looked a little embarrassed and hurriedly wanted to explain and apologize. Unexpectedly, Zhao Yan sealed his lips with a kiss again, blocking the words he was about to say.
This time her actions were even more brazen.
Her kisses slid from his lips to his cheeks, then moved along his jaw to his neck, gently licking his Adam's apple with the tip of her flexible tongue.
Finally, she put her arms around his waist, buried her head on his shoulder, and softly called his name.
"Gu Xu."
"Um?"
"If the person you met first was me, would you choose me?"
Gu Xu pondered for a moment and nodded.
Zhao Yan smiled softly.
Her thick, soft black hair was within easy reach of him, like dark clouds covering the sky, or like the night covering the mountains.
"It's not fair," she added, "You are the first person I met. If you run away, who should I choose?"
Gu Xu didn't know how to comfort her, so he just patted her back gently.
The two hugged each other and were silent for a long time.
"When do you plan to leave?"
"Tomorrow."
Gu Xu knew that he couldn't stay here any longer.
He seemed to have become a Tang monk who was searching for Buddhist scriptures in the West. On the way, he met the charming King of the Daughter Kingdom. Mortal thoughts came into his heart, but he could only close his eyes and dare not look at her again.
Zhao Yan is different from all the women in Dahuang.
Perhaps it is because of the heroic folk customs in the north, or perhaps because she has cut off fear. She is not as shy and reserved as the girls in Daqi - she never cares about other people's words, nor does she hesitate because of fear of rejection. .
She was like a blazing flame, showing the emotions hidden in her heart unreservedly in front of him.
"I'll give it to you tomorrow." She turned her face and looked at him.
"Thanks."
"Don't you want to say something else?"
"for example?"
"Anything is fine. You're leaving soon and I want to hear your voice some more."
"you are so Beautiful."
"Add a name," she said seriously. "Stop using polite titles like 'King' and 'Miss'. Call me 'Yan'er'."
"Yan... Yan'er, you are so beautiful."
"To what extent is 'reality'?"
"Like night."
"Night?" Zhao Yandai raised her eyebrows slightly, "What do you mean?"
"You walked towards me in the night, with a clear sky and bright stars. The most wonderful light and shadow were all gathered in your grace and eyes."
Zhao Yan suddenly pinched his waist.
"Gu Xu, you are truly the most despicable, shameless and vile thief in the world."
"how do I say this?"
"You stole my heart, but you didn't intend to take responsibility. You just wanted to walk away."
Gu Xu lowered his head and said nothing.
"Perhaps this sounds a little unlucky," Zhao Yan was silent for a moment, then continued, "But if you fail to defeat Tianxing Emperor in the end, return to Luojing City, and renew your relationship with her... then you will come to find her. Me?"
"If I lose to Emperor Tianxing, I will die."
"What if you're still alive?"
"impossible."
"What if? What if you come back alive? We can hide together in a corner where no one can find us, just you and me, hiding until the end of time."
"Yes, I promise you."
Zhao Yan smiled, stood on tiptoes, and kissed him for the third time.
This time, her kiss was very light, like a dragonfly touching water, falling on his eyes, cheeks, tip of nose and lips.
"Gu Xu, sometimes I feel that the world in your eyes is too narrow?" She said softly, "You can only see the distant end point, but you don't want to see more of the scenery on the roadside.
“Some things, once missed, may not be recovered.
“Never reach the finish line only to find out you have nothing.”
After she finished speaking, she let him go and turned to leave.
In the dark alley, only a bright red back and a wisp of fragrant fragrance were left.
Gu Xu stood there, in a daze for a long time, before he found his soul, and then used his skills to rush back to his residence.
This bad woman was playing with fire in front of him, but she had no intention of taking responsibility and just wanted to walk away.
As a result, he had no choice but to go back to the house to find the fifth girl.
