Minglong

Chapter 106 Xiaojiabiyu
Lin House.

The faint chirping of insects could be heard outside the window. The huge mansion had long been silent, leaving only the boudoir where the young lady lived, with a dim light still on.

Inside the room, Lin Wanyi sat at the table with her hands on her cheeks. The slightly swaying candlelight was reflected on the lenses of her gold-rimmed glasses, and her eyes were blankly in thought.

There were four plates and a white porcelain jar on the round table, covered with plates, and a blue and white wine bottle next to it.

But after waiting for half the night, the food had already lost its heat and became cold, just like a heart that had been left out in the cold for half the night.

We agreed to come over early in the evening, it's already been a few days...

This big pig's trotter, I was afraid you'd be hungry at night, so I secretly fried a few side dishes...

Accompanying Miss Linghu...

Apart from Linghu Qingmo, who else could accompany him...

Why not lock the door and prevent him from entering the house...

……

After thinking about it for an unknown period of time, I finally heard a slight movement outside the room:
Call ~
squeak~
The door opened, and the young man in white leaned half in. He was slightly stunned when he saw the scene in the room, and his stern face showed a hint of shame.

"Why did you prepare food? Sorry for the long wait. Um... I was investigating a case just now, so I'm a little late..."

"Humph~"

Lin Wanyi sat up straight, looked away, and said in a lukewarm voice:

"I know. You're a busy person, and this isn't an important place. You can come over when you have some free time..."

There was a clear hint of unhappiness in his words.

Xie Jinhuan had just gone to kill Zhou Mingan, and by the way, he helped Li Gongpu clean the house, and then talked about business with Bu Hanying. He made hundreds of taels a minute and was almost busy. There was really no way he could do that as he was late.

A quick look at this time revealed that the beautiful Lin had changed into a dark green autumn dress, which was slightly more conservative than yesterday, but her temperament became more intellectual and graceful. With the gold-rimmed glasses, she looked like a ripe and pretty peony, and was obviously dressed up carefully.

But what surprised him most was the food and wine on the table.

Xie Jinhuan remembered the last time he saw food on the table when he returned home. It was before he left the capital at the age of sixteen. At that time, he was still studying in the academy. He liked to wander around. Although the old man was busy with official duties, he would still wait for him for dinner every night.

That feeling of home, when you have it, it feels ordinary, nothing special.

But after losing it completely, when I saw it again, it felt like someone hit me in the chest with a hammer, as if I were in another world.

Lin Wanyi turned her head and waited for the man to apologize with sweet words. Seeing that Xie Jinhuan didn't move, she turned her gaze back, but saw that Xie Jinhuan was still smiling, but didn't say anything. He first walked to the table, then turned around and wiped his hands with her towel.

Lin Wanyi noticed Xie Jinhuan's strange reaction, as if he was surprised that she had prepared a meal. She couldn't get angry anymore and stood up:

"I was worried you'd be hungry tonight, so I made two side dishes. They've both gotten cold. I'll go heat them up for you..."

"No, it's not necessary at this late hour. I'm a playboy, I don't mind the cold or the heat."

Xie Jinhuan pressed Wanyi's shoulders and asked her to sit down. Then he sat in front of her and opened the plate. Four side dishes were visible: stir-fried vegetables with meat, cold bamboo shoots, hot and sour celery, and fish in vinegar. There was white rice in the porcelain jar.

Judging from her knife skills, the side dishes were all made by the girl with glasses herself, and she carefully arranged them on the plates with red and green colors. If they had not been cold, they would definitely be delicious.

"The craftsmanship is really good, I never noticed it before..."

Lin Wanyi was sitting nearby. Seeing Xie Jinhuan looking at everyone, she felt a little reserved. She picked up the stir-fried pork and vinegar fish.
"It won't taste good if it's cold. I'll go heat it up for you. It's only a few steps away. Have a few bites of the cold dish first."

With that, he quickly walked out the door.

Xie Jinhuan looked at the swaying figure, and perhaps for the first time his eyes did not move to the buttocks.

After the beautiful lady with glasses left the house, he shook his head and smiled.
"This silly girl is quite virtuous..."

Ye Hongshang appeared silently and sat opposite:

"Oh my! You were after my body, but I got carried away. Are you embarrassed now?"

"How can you say you're here for my body? I'm here to teach you the techniques."

Xie Jinhuan corrected him seriously, but he felt really embarrassed.

After all, Lin Wanyi is a typical lady from a noble family. At most, she has some connection with witchcraft, but it cannot be considered evil.

He is different. Looking at his current 'practice makes perfect' gangster behavior, he doesn't even dare to think about what he has done in the past three years.

The matter of the Demon-Suppressing Tomb has not been resolved yet. If the tomb is really blown up and something shocking happens in a dozen days, who knows what will happen.

Fortunately, Li Gongpu provided a huge amount of travel expenses, and he will be able to meet the seller of Jiazilian again tomorrow. As long as he gets the things, it will not be difficult for him to maintain his current good life and righteous image.

After thinking about it for a while, the door opened again.

Lin Wanyi brought two plates of hot dishes and placed them on the round table. Because the plates were a little hot, she pinched her earlobe:

"Try it. If it doesn't suit your taste, tell me."

"How could it not be delicious?"

Xie Jinhuan pulled Wanyi's sleeve and sat down beside her, chatting casually:

"Thank you for your hard work. I went to look for medicinal herbs today."

Lin Wanyi opened the bottle and poured a glass of wine for Xie Jinhuan:

"I've inquired about it. The medicinal materials are not a big problem. It's just the balance..."

"Don't worry, I will definitely get it all together within five days."

"what?"

Lin Wanyi picked up the wine glass, a little puzzled: "Where did you get so much money?"

Xie Jinhuan and the girl with glasses clinked their lips and said with a smile:

"Don't you know my abilities? Princess Changning will be here tomorrow, and I can borrow enough from her."

Princess...

Lin Wanyi's eyes looked a little strange. She covered her face with her sleeves, drank the wine in the glass, and pursed her lips:
"Going to serve the princess again? You... you are a knight..."

Xie Jinhuan was a little amused:
"I'm the halberd bearer at the Princess's Mansion. If I don't serve the Princess when she comes, I'll be considered a salary collector. But don't worry, I'm only selling my art, not my body." "Pfft~ Who knows if you want to sell yourself..."

Lin Wanyi felt that saying this would only make her uncomfortable, so she changed the subject:

"Hmm...you are familiar with Miss Linghu. Have you ever talked about the affairs of Sect Leader Nangong?"

"We talked about it. She said that Fairy Nangong will be back after the Mid-Autumn Festival. She should be back soon. Why are you asking this?"

Lin Wanyi received the difficult task of "persuading" Nangong Ye to surrender, and was worrying about how to deal with this matter.

This matter is a private grudge between the two heads. If the rumor of "whoever is cowardly is the granddaughter" gets out, it will end badly. Xie Jinhuan doesn't even know Nangong Ye, so she certainly can't say it openly. After thinking about it, she just said:

"Just curiosity. Nangong Jianxian is a highly accomplished and renowned chivalrous man. You should be able to chat with him. If you see him, you should definitely try to curry favor with him. Well... if Sect Leader Nangong comes back, tell me. I actually admire him quite a bit."

"Okay. If I have the chance to meet you, I will definitely introduce you."

Xie Jinhuan held the bowl and ate the rice in big mouthfuls. Relying on his amazing appetite as a warrior, he managed to finish the four side dishes and rice without even washing the plates.

At first, Lin Wanyi was worried that Xie Jinhuan would not be able to get used to the food, but when she saw that Xie Jinhuan did not dislike her cooking skills, she naturally felt happy. After they finished eating, she had to clean up.

But after a day of fighting and killing, Xie Jinhuan was pleasantly surprised to have a home-cooked meal in the evening. How could he really act like a big shot? He took the plate and went to the empty kitchen of the Lin Mansion. After cleaning up the dishes, he returned to the house.

Lin Wanyi was afraid of being discovered by her parents, so she didn't dare to follow behind. She was busy by the bed. Maybe because she was held while sleeping last night, she felt that it was a bit too much, so she used the quilt to make a bed on the floor next to the bed.

Seeing Xie Jinhuan sneaking back, Lin Wanyi sat down beside the bed:
"You are not allowed to crawl onto the bed today, or... or I will put a curse on you."

There is a threat in his eyes, so fierce and aggressive!
Xie Jinhuan has a love for beauty, but Wanyi personally cooked and prepared drinks for him for half the night, which is more comforting than just touching her twice. He just sat cross-legged on the floor:

"Alright. If I don't behave, you can just give me a love poison and make me suffer like a thousand ants gnawing at my heart!"

If you are poisoned by the love poison, you have to give up on the spot. Lin Wanyi is not that stupid.

Knowing that she would have to lie down and watch even when she fell asleep, Lin Wanyi took off her shoes and lay on the pillow, looking at the figure sitting cross-legged beside the bed, closing her eyes and waiting.

And soon, the dizziness came again.

Then the bed disappeared, and the whole person fell down...
-
Boom——

Wow~
The sound of waves rang in my ears, accompanied by bursts of thunder.

When Lin Wanyi regained consciousness, she found that her body was shaking violently, as if she was sitting on a boat. She opened her eyes and looked around, only to find that the surroundings were no longer the endless abyss and stone tablets, but a boundless ocean.

The sky was covered with thunderclouds, and the sea surface was a dark blue.

Huge waves several people high surged in from the horizon, causing the broken planks floating on the sea to churn violently like a piece of wood chip in a rapids, making it difficult to sit still. The waves splashed on the body, making it cold to the bone.

"Eh?"

Lin Wanyi was suddenly trapped in this dangerous area where no life had been found. Her face turned pale with fear. She clutched the edge of the floating boat tightly and looked around anxiously:
"Xie Jinhuan? Xie Jinhuan?!"

She was all alone on the broken planks, as if she had been forgotten by the whole world and abandoned in the dead zone overseas.

Lin Wanyi tried her best to maintain her shape so as not to be swept off the board by the huge waves. After a quick glance, she found movement under the water on the side of the board:
“Gurgle gurgle~…”

Lin Wanyi hurriedly lay down on the edge of the wooden board and looked around, only to find that Xie Jinhuan had sunk into the sea, dancing with his hands and bubbling from his mouth. It seemed that he wanted to float to the surface, but his body was sinking!
"Eh?"

Lin Wanyi panicked and quickly leaned forward, grabbed Xie Jinhuan's arm, and pulled it up hard.

wow~
Xie Jinhuan jumped out of the freezing cold water and rolled onto the bamboo raft:
"Fuck, cough cough..."

Lin Wanyi couldn't sit still at all, so she could only hug Xie Jinhuan, looking around in panic:
"What's wrong with you? What is this place?!"

Xie Jinhuan was almost drowned and felt confused.

However, as a spellcaster, he certainly couldn't show any confusion. He held onto the gap between the wooden boards to steady himself.
"I've only just started using this kind of magical power, and I'm not yet proficient in controlling my dreams. Whatever I think about during the day, I dream about it at night. This situation, um... maybe I just drank too much and needed to go to the bathroom..."

"Ah? You...you won't wet the bed, will you?"

"How is that possible? I'm not a little kid."

……

Lin Wanyi hugged Xie Jinhuan tightly and looked at the huge waves around her. Even though she knew it was a dream, she was still terrified and felt that she would die here in the next second.

Fortunately, Xie Jinhuan was there. If she were alone in this stormy and boundless ocean, she would have been so desperate...

After taking a break, Lin Wanyi felt relieved when she found that she would not fall. She looked around and then looked up at the sky.

Above the dark sky, thousands of electric snakes intertwined to form a surging image of thunder patterns, which was almost the same as the star map she saw last night.

As the saying goes, the first time is new, the second time is familiar. This time, without Xie Jinhuan's guidance, Lin Wanyi turned slightly, leaned on Xie Jinhuan, and began to memorize the image of the thunder pattern in the sky, silently reciting in her heart:

"I understand, I understand... Eh? Why don't you understand..."

Xie Jinhuan lay on the floating broken deck, with one arm around the plump and juicy girl with glasses. At first, he was a little distracted.

After all, Lin Wanyi was afraid of falling, so she curled up in her armpits. He hugged his upper body, and the bulging feeling on his arms really made people recall the half hour on the cruise ship.

The waves on the sea are huge, and the small space on the ship will capsize in the storm if you are not careful.

It was not easy for Xie Jinhuan to maintain his stability, not to mention that he was holding someone. He could not move his hands at this time. He just tried his best to keep his body steady so that Wanyi could memorize the skills with peace of mind. He also continued to study his "Take Turns to Pour Out the Candles".

However, after studying it for a while, Xie Jinhuan frowned secretly, then turned his head to look at the huge storm waves and the broken planks under him.

Lin Wanyi was trying to find the feeling of enlightenment at first, but she noticed Xie Jinhuan turned his head left and right, raised his eyes and asked:
"what happened?"

"Um……"

Xie Jinhuan thought about it, shook his head and smiled:
"We're not going to end up in bed again, are we?"

"Ah? You're the one who ruined my dream. You...you get out!"

"What if I go down there and drown?"

"I don't care, you did it on purpose..."

"How could I have done it on purpose? Remember the exercises well and don't let your imagination run wild."

"..."
