Quick Wear: Love still depends on two love brains
Chapter 371: The Useless Lady vs. the Federal General 24
A sweet rose scent suddenly rushed into Pei Jin's nostrils.
It's not the kind of perfume that's so strong that it's pungent, but it smells like a rose that blooms after the rain, with the freshness of dew and the sweetness of petals, just the right amount of elegance.
He was startled. In a social setting at this distance, it was impossible to smell such a clear fragrance, unless...
Realizing this, Pei Jin suddenly opened his eyes.
His eyelashes trembled violently for a few times, and then he met a pair of eyes close to him.
Quan Jiuxi's eyes are extremely beautiful, with slightly upturned corners, which gives her a natural charm, but also makes her look pure because of the clarity of her pupils.
At this moment, his face was reflected in those phoenix eyes, like crushed starlight, making people want to indulge in it immediately.
Just as I was about to say something, I suddenly felt a soft touch on my lips.
The touch was cool and delicate, with a faint scent of roses, which made his heart jump suddenly and gave rise to a strange throbbing.
It was Kwon Jiuxi's finger.
Pei Jin's brain froze for a moment, and everything went blank for a few seconds.
He could clearly feel the slightly cool fingertips pressing gently on his lips, with a cautious probe that seemed to contain some deliberate teasing.
He slowly raised his eyes and met Quan Jiuxi's smiling eyes.
Those eyes seemed to be filled with stars, so bright that they were astonishing. The cinnabar mole at the end of the eye was particularly clear when seen from a close distance, adding a bit of alluring color.
Somehow, a strong desire for possessiveness suddenly surged from the bottom of his heart - he hoped that these eyes could look at him like this forever, reflecting only his figure.
Quan Jiuxi did not retract the fingers that were pressing on his lips. Instead, he gently rubbed them twice, and with a bit of mischief, he kneaded the thin lips heavily a few times.
He stood up straight as if nothing had happened, and said nonchalantly: "You are bleeding, I will help you clean it."
Her fingertips were still stained with blood from the corner of his lips, which looked particularly glaring on his fair skin.
Pei Jin looked at her expressionless face and a low laugh escaped from his throat.
He struggled slightly to sit up, but Quan Jiuxi had already reached out and gently held his wrist with his warm palm.
Her movements were very gentle, as if she was afraid of hurting him, and she carefully helped him up.
The warmth of his palm was transmitted through the fabric of his combat uniform, bringing with it a strange soothing power that inexplicably relaxed Pei Jin's painful nerves.
"Admiral, this is a healing potion." Adjutant Lin came over with a light blue potion, an embarrassed blush on his face.
The medicine was contained in a transparent glass tube, and the liquid was a clear light blue. It looked no different from ordinary nutritional supplements, except that there was an unfamiliar logo printed on the bottle.
Quan Jiuxi's gaze swept over the potion, and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.
It’s the one belonging to Brother Tang Qing.
It will invisibly disrupt the user's mental power and even cause mental collapse.
However, with her around, these tricks are doomed to fail.
Quan Jiuxi raised her hand slightly, palm facing up, and several herbs emitting faint fluorescence appeared out of thin air in her hand.
The leaves of the herb were emerald green, the roots were a warm jade color, and there was a faint light flowing through the veins. It was obvious at a glance that it was not an ordinary item.
Adjutant Lin's eyes lit up instantly. Like a child seeing candy, he couldn't help but move closer, examining the herbs curiously. "Miss Quan, what is this? It looks so special."
"Herbs that can heal your injuries." Quan Jiuxi's tone was calm, but with unquestionable confidence. "It's much better than any healing potion you have."
Adjutant Lin subconsciously wanted to take it, but stopped halfway and turned to look at Pei Jin with a questioning look in his eyes.
It was not until Pei Jin nodded almost imperceptibly that he took the herbs with both hands as if they were treasures, and happily ran to distribute them to the team members. Before leaving, he did not forget to throw the light blue potion on the ground as if he was throwing away some garbage.
"General Pei, do you trust me so much?" Quan Jiuxi looked at Pei Jin, a playful smile on his lips, "Aren't you afraid that this herb is poisonous?"
Pei Jin leaned against the rock behind him, his face still pale, but his eyes were much clearer.
He looked at Quan Jiuxi and said calmly, "If you want to harm me, there are plenty of opportunities. You don't have to use this method."
He paused, his eyes fixed on the burning ruins in the distance, and his voice deepened.
"The ability you just displayed has probably spread throughout the galaxy."
Quan Jiuxi shrugged nonchalantly and handed him one of the best-looking immortal herbs, gently pinching the emerald green leaves with his fingertips. "So what if it spreads everywhere?"
There was a hint of arrogance in her eyes. "If anyone is blind, come and try."
Pei Jin looked at her arrogant appearance, and the emotions in his eyes were complicated and difficult to discern.
He was silent for a moment before he spoke slowly, his tone carrying a barely perceptible hint of worry: "It's easy to dodge an open attack, but it's hard to guard against an arrow from the dark. You have to be careful."
Upon hearing this, Quan Jiuxi suddenly took a step closer, almost touching his nose.
The sweet scent of roses once again filled Pei Jin's nostrils, clearer than before.
She curled the corners of her lips, with a sly smile in her phoenix eyes: "If I am in danger, can General Pei protect me?"
Pei Jin's breathing paused slightly as he looked at the face so close to him.
Quan Jiuxi's eyes were surprisingly bright in the twilight, like dancing flames, making his heart beat uncontrollably.
Suddenly, his mind flashed with what his grandfather had said, those romantic legends about ancient Earth.
An unprecedented emotion spread in my heart, with determination and resoluteness.
Pei Jin looked into Quan Jiuxi's eyes and said clearly, word by word:
"Never give up, life or death."
[Sir! The strategy progress has increased again! It's 55%!]
Xiaoyi's excited voice sounded again, with a trembling tone of joy.
However, Quan Jiuxi did not act perfunctorily as usual, but just looked at Pei Jin quietly, the fairy grass on his fingertips emitting a soft light in the twilight.
She suddenly chuckled and stuffed the magic grass into his hand: "You have good taste."
Pei Jin held the warm herb and watched Quan Jiuxi turn and walk away. His shadow swept across the ground, leaving a faint scent of roses.
He looked down at the magic grass in his palm, and a faint smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of his lips. The fatigue and vigilance in his eyes quietly dissipated, leaving only a kind of gentleness that he himself had not even noticed.
