Marrying Gold and Jade

The nun carefully examined Xu Jinxuan's expression, and seeing that he remained silent for a moment, she took it as a hint.

"Will you follow me back to the temple after dinner, young lady?"

It is still raining heavily at the moment, and it will probably be dark by the time we finish our meal.

Besides, if I go back through the forest in the rain, my clothes will certainly get wet, and it will be inconvenient to change them in the temple.

Lin Yu carefully looked at the man beside her.

Xu Jinxuan met her eager eyes but still did not speak.

stop.

Asking for help should be done in a begging manner. Lin Yu softened his voice and said, "Mr. Xu, you have two rooms next to you. Can you let me stay for one night?"

The nun observed Xu Jinxuan's expression again and saw that although he seemed to be in deep thought, his eyebrows were slightly raised. She knew that he had made up his mind.

Sure enough, not long after, he said, "Don't cause me any trouble."

"it is good!"

The girl had pretty features and her face was full of warmth when she smiled, which inadvertently affected Xu Jinxuan as well.

The nun secretly sighed that she had done something unnecessary and hurried back to the temple before it got dark.

There was not a few drops of sesame oil in the vegetarian food, so it was not interesting to eat.

Lin Yu picked at the vegetable leaves and swallowed the rice in small mouthfuls. When she looked up, she saw that the man opposite her had put down his bowl and chopsticks.

"You're not going to eat it now?"

Xu Jinxuan naturally wouldn't say anything, and those few words he said at first were just being polite to her.

"Yeah, it's too plain." Lin Yu muttered again, "You only eat these bland soups every day, how can you keep healthy?"

The way she looked him up and down made people feel a little uncomfortable.

Xu Jinxuan just frowned when she said, "You should learn to cook by yourself, otherwise you can only eat with the monks in the temple."

He tried to be calm and asked, "Can you cook?"

"I don't know how to do that," Lin Yu said without any guilt, "but I don't live in the mountains."

Xu Jinxuan was speechless.

She even helped him plan: "The bamboo forest in front of your house is growing so well, and there is a mountain stream behind the house. If you grow some crops yourself, it shouldn't be too difficult."

"Get up and work a little, maybe you'll feel better... Ah! It, it's..."

Halfway through his words, the familiar little blue snake jumped in from the windowsill and twisted its slender body to get close to Xu Jinxuan.

Xu Jinxuan tapped its head to comfort it, and then he saw Lin Yu hiding three feet away.

One thing brings down another thing.

Xu Jinxuan was very satisfied with this. He lowered his wrist and let Tian Shuiqing sit in his palm.

"Didn't you say it was afraid of me and hid?"

Xu Jinxuan stood up and said, "You are hungry so late, and it is hungry too."

"So...what does it eat?"

Lin Yu stood far away and asked carefully.

So he didn't notice the teasing between the man's eyebrows: "Human blood."

Lin Yu: “What?”

The thin man held the small blue snake in his hand and walked towards her.

"It has such a strange color, do you think it eats ordinary food?"

Lin Yuzhen took the word "human blood" to heart. When she looked at Xu Jinxuan again this time, she began to wonder if he was not sick, but had been drained of his blood by the snake.

But before she could think about it, the man's cold white hand reached out to her.

"what!!"

Xu Jinxuan wanted to tease her some more, but before he could do anything, she held her head in her hands and turned pale with fear, so he had to stop in time.

"I'm kidding," he said with a look of mercy, "It can be kept alive by eating some herbs."

"really?"

Lin Yu glanced at the overly bright color, but still didn't dare to take it lightly, "Aren't you afraid it will bite you?"

The man scoffed, "It's not poisonous, but it can be used to test for poison."

Lin Yu put down his arms, straightened his body, and then dared to approach tentatively.

The little blue snake remembered her and remembered being thrown by her twice. The snake's tail coiled in the palm of its owner's hand and it also looked at Lin Yu curiously.

"Want to touch it?"

Lin Yu suspected that he had heard it wrong, and quickly shrank back and shook his head, with rejection written all over his body.

The man, however, found a new source of fun, and walked up slowly and said, "No one will take care of it at night, it will wander around on its own."

"Are you sure you don't want to get familiar with it now?"

The rain outside seems to have eased a little.

Lin Yu's pretty face turned pale as she wondered if she could get back to Qianyun Temple if she left home now.

"Lin Yu?"

This was the first time he called her by her name instead of Troublemaker.

Lin Yu seemed to be somewhat encouraged, but also felt that he shouldn't encourage her at all.

On second thought, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. People are already here, and it seems impossible to escape even if I fall asleep in the middle of the night.

"Is it really non-toxic?"

"Ah."

"Doesn't it bite, either?"

This is not necessarily true.

Anyway, a bite wouldn't kill him, so Xu Jinxuan nodded, "It's very docile."

Lin Yu remembered that it had come in through the windowsill, and Xu Jinxuan tapped its head, as if it was enjoying it like a cat or a dog.

The fingertips just stretched out tentatively, and then retracted tremblingly.

"I can not!"

The way she was afraid of death was particularly interesting.

Thinking of this, Xu Jinxuan took another step forward.

Lin Yu didn't know when her back was against the wall, and the man in front of her was very close. He had a tall and thin figure, and when he got closer, he was much broader than her.

Before he could think of the words to refuse, Xu Jinxuan whispered again: "Don't be afraid, I'm here to protect you."

Lin Yuru was bewitched. She took a deep breath and stretched out her delicate fingertips towards the little blue snake again.

After hesitating for a while, she finally gritted her teeth and tapped his dark blue forehead.

Cold and slippery.

Lin Yu took a careful look and saw that its pupils were erect, but it did not move, and it had no intention of resisting.

She looked at Xu Jinxuan with a little relief. Xu Jinxuan kept his eyes calm and did not show his surprise.

Tianshuiqing was raised by him using medicinal herbs and poisonous insects. He has psychic powers and recognizes his master. Even his subordinates cannot get close to him.

It didn't bite anyone.

Lin Yu was terribly scared at first, but then he poked its head three times, and it actually raised its head and poked his fingertips.

Seems pretty cute.

So before long, Xu Jinxuan changed from teasing her and forcing her to touch him, to raising his hand to make it easier for Lin Yu to play with him.

The man and the snake were having so much fun together that they even ignored their master.

"Have you had enough fun?"

Lin Yu stroked the little snake from its head to its tail. Hearing the sound, she accidentally scratched his palm, causing the man to frown.

Lin Yu thought it was stingy and was jealous of her and his pet, so he withdrew his hand reluctantly.

"You're right, it's very docile."

It was getting late, and thinking that she was not the only one who needed to be accommodated, he threw the little snake into her hands.

Lin Yu was not so scared this time. He took it and watched it curl up in his palm.

"Stay with it for a while. I'll go get some things from next door."

Lin Yu thought he was going to clean up the house for her to live in, so she nodded obediently and said, "Okay, go ahead."

All the servants who served during the day were sent into the temple, except Xuanye, a secret guard who could not leave and hid in the bamboo house in a mysterious way.

When Xu Jinxuan saw his pet coming out, he knew that Xuan Ye had entered the next room.

Sure enough, when the door was pushed open, the young man who used to be like a ghost was sitting cross-legged on the ground.

Eating sweet potatoes.
