The top-level junior sister also wants to act weak today
Chapter 171 Looking at the Stars
"Tsk..." Jiang Yingxue rolled her eyes nonchalantly and said confidently, "From the first day you met me, I've been shameless. Don't forget that the first time we met was because—"
As she spoke, she stretched out a hand and lifted Yan Chuan's chin with a rather cool movement, her tone carrying a hint of teasing: "It's because I'm greedy for your body."
As soon as these words came out, Yan Chuan's body suddenly stiffened, as if he was frozen in place. His eyes were fixed on Jiang Yingxue's face, his dark pupils as deep as a pool of water with no bottom to be seen.
Jiang Yingxue originally thought that he would push her away immediately, or look helpless, so that she could continue teasing him.
But Yan Chuan did nothing. He just looked at her seriously, with a look so calm that it made people uneasy.
"Why are you just looking at me? Why don't you say anything?" Jiang Yingxue's originally relaxed tone changed slightly. She seemed a little flustered and a little guilty. She withdrew her hand and moved back half an inch.
Yan Chuan lowered his eyebrows, pursed his thin lips, and his gaze slowly fell from her face to the fingers that had been retracted, and then back to her eyes.
There was a hint of suppressed emotion in those eyes, as if something was struggling to emerge. His Adam's apple rolled slightly, and his breathing seemed heavier than before. Finally, he spoke in a hoarse voice, "So, are you still greedy now?"
Jiang Yingxue was completely stunned.
The little tricks that were originally in her mind were all disrupted by Yan Chuan's words at this moment. She stared at him for several seconds, her ears turning red, but she raised her chin unwillingly: "Greedy!"
I like to talk dirty, but I don't dare to say too much...
So she quickly said, "But at that time, it was mainly because I was about to die. When people are about to die, they just want to be happy, you know? But now I'm not dead, the situation is a little different..."
After saying that, Jiang Yingxue laughed awkwardly twice, just to hide the subtle discomfort. Then she raised her head, looked at the starry sky, and murmured in her heart, praying that this topic would pass quickly.
The deck was cool and quiet at night. A gentle breeze blew by, lifting a few strands of her hair. Fine starlight sprinkled on her face, making her almond-shaped eyes look like they were filled with a river of stars.
Yan Chuan lowered his eyebrows and looked at her as if she wanted to escape but acted as if nothing had happened. He couldn't help but laugh softly.
His laughter was very soft, as if he was afraid of disturbing the quiet night, and as if he was afraid of being noticed by her.
It’s good that you’re still greedy.
Then he also looked up, placed his hands on his sides, and looked towards the sky: "What do you think of the Qinxing Palace's prophecy?"
Jiang Yingxue was stunned at first, but when she realized that the topic could be passed, she quickly responded: "It's too sudden. I'm a little overwhelmed."
"Yes, after all, rather than a prophecy, it's more like informing you of your death date in advance."
Jiang Yingxue's heart trembled slightly as she looked up at him. The moonlight cast a shadow on his profile, outlining the lines of his features in a cold and sharp manner. His eyes were calm, yet they held an indescribable calmness, as if he had already put life and death aside.
She opened her mouth, wanting to speak but stopping herself, before finally asking, "So, Senior Brother...will you go to the demon exorcism in five years?"
Yan Chuan said calmly: "I am from the First Peak, so I will go there naturally."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his head casually and glanced at her casually, "But you are different. You are the daughter of a marquis, so you should not get involved in this. After three years, you will leave the clan."
Jiang Yingxue curled her lips and said, "I'm going to quit the sect and watch the three of you and Master die?"
Yan Chuan chuckled after hearing this, and that smile seemed quite meaningful in the moonlight: "That's not the case. Maybe in five years, the savior will really appear?"
Jiang Yingxue didn't respond for a moment, only lowering her eyes, her fingertips unconsciously rubbing the robe draped over her body. After a moment, Jiang Yingxue swallowed and asked tentatively, "What if that savior really didn't show up, would you blame her?"
"No." Yan Chuan shook his head. "After all, the Demon King is a terrifying existence. The prophecy doesn't say it clearly. Who knows if he will let the savior's life be exchanged for another to save the people? If so, the savior is not wrong to cherish his own life and not show up."
"Senior Brother..." Jiang Yingxue's voice became a little softer.
"Ok?"
"What if I were the savior and had to stand up and exchange my life with the Demon King?"
Yan Chuan frowned and thought seriously for a moment before saying, "If you have decided to stand up, then I will rush in front of you and help you kill the enemy."
Yan Chuan said this without hesitation, his tone was so firm that it seemed as if there was no room for negotiation.
"But don't think too much." Yan Chuan raised his eyebrows, a faint smile on his lips, and a hint of doting helplessness in his tone: "Just go back and be your daughter of the Marquisate, and don't get involved in these things."
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from not far away: "You are here!"
Jiang Yingxue and Yan Chuan turned their heads at the same time and looked in the direction of the voice. They saw Chu Ying and Cen Yizi standing not far away holding a spiritual lamp, and the light was softly reflected on their faces.
At this moment, Chu Ying seemed to suddenly think of something, her eyes lit up, and she suddenly stuffed the spirit lamp in her hand into Cen Yizi's hand: "Wait a moment, I'll go get something."
After a while, Chu Ying ran out of the cabin with a basin of fruit, and then she and Cen Yizi hurried over.
She sat down next to Jiang Yingxue: "Come on, Yingxue, let's eat fruit and watch the stars."
Jiang Yingxue looked at her flustered appearance and smiled in surprise: "Why did you come out too? Weren't you asleep?"
Chu Ying casually grabbed a fruit and handed it to Jiang Yingxue, then stuffed one into her mouth. She mumbled, "I was originally asleep, but I don't know why I felt uneasy. I turned over and suddenly found that you were not in the room, so I came out to look for you."
She swallowed the fruit and added, "On my way out, I happened to run into Yizhi wandering in the corridor, so I dragged him along. As expected, when people can't sleep, they just like to come out and look at the stars."
As she spoke, Chu Ying raised her head, her eyes full of admiration as she gazed at the starry sky. The glow of the lights reflected on her face, making her smile even softer.
Yan Chuan raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at Chu Ying, then looked at Cen Yizi, and said lightly: "It seems that you two have a good understanding."
Hearing this, Cen Yizhi glanced at Chu Ying, lowered his head, and said softly, "She dragged me here."
"Hey, don't be so cold." Chu Ying patted Cen Yizi's back fiercely, then grabbed another fruit and stuffed it into her mouth, mumbling: "The stars are so beautiful, wouldn't it be nice to come out and breathe some fresh air? The four of us have been forced to practice before, and it's been a long time since we felt so relaxed like this."
