Time Travel and Love

Tears flowed unconsciously as she spoke. She reached out and stroked Zhuifeng's horsehair, wiped away a tear, and smiled happily again. "Fortunately, I won't struggle for too long. I just need to cooperate with him and act like a stranger. When everything is settled, Zhuifeng, you still have to accompany me to travel the world with a sword, hahahaha... Honestly, I've never been so grateful to Master. When I first came back, I hated him for telling me that I didn't have much time left. But since I found out, I've become extremely grateful for my short life. At least my selfish desire to be with Ajin outweighs moral principles. I won't waste too much time on such things. If I were just Chu Qingmeng, I'm afraid the grass on my grave would be two meters high by now, hahaha... wuwuwu... Dog Tiandao, although it's just a tribulation, you're really targeting me! Is this a melodramatic plot that a carbon-based creature could come up with?!"

Short life!!! Mo Liujin panicked! He knew Chu Qingmeng had been subtly hinting at what he would do if she died early, but he had stubbornly refused to listen. He knew she said she didn't have much time left, but how little? Who else could possibly be bothered by the concept of ethics and morality? She truly had no family around her; he had always known it! 'Cooperate with him to play the role of a stranger'? Who? A stranger? Someone related to her who had always been by her side?

"If... father were here... I wouldn't feel so bad..." Chu Qingmeng muttered while crying, and lay back on the horse's back again.

At this time, in an illusion in the purple gold bamboo forest, Ling Xian, who was healing his wounds, suddenly opened his eyes, but did not move. He just stretched out his hand and counted with his fingers, then smiled lightly and closed his eyes again.

Mo Liujin also heard Chu Qingmeng's mutterings clearly and could no longer bear it. He let go of her hand, climbed onto his horse, and pulled Chu Qingmeng into his arms. Startled by the sudden embrace, Chu Qingmeng's dagger was instantly unsheathed. Mo Liujin grabbed her hand and said, "It's me. Don't be afraid."

Chu Qingmeng breathed a sigh of relief, her body no longer tense. She broke free from his hand and slumped back onto the horse, not wanting to pay attention to him or talk anymore. Mo Liujin picked her up again and held her in his arms. "Qingmeng, do you really not trust me? You'd rather tell your heart to a horse than tell me and let me share your burden, right?"

Chu Qingmeng didn't respond and snorted coldly, "No matter what I say, at least Zhuifeng won't hit me."

Mo Liujin smiled helplessly, "Holding a grudge? Don't be angry, I was impulsive. I won't be angry again in the future, okay?"

"Humph."

"Qingmeng, can you please explain everything to me? Don't leave me out. We are one." Mo Liujin lowered his head and rubbed the back of Chu Qingmeng's neck. The pleading in his words made Chu Qingmeng's heart skip a beat. But even so, she didn't say anything else. She didn't know what to say. This absurd world was getting even crazier.

After waiting for a long time without hearing Chu Qingmeng's reply, Mo Liujin smiled bitterly and hugged Chu Qingmeng tightly, biting her neck lightly as if to vent his anger. Chu Qingmeng frowned and pushed him away, "Go away, you stink and you're all sweaty. Did you play with them too?"

"Yeah. We played for a while." How could Mo Liujin allow her to push him away? Instead, he hugged her even tighter. Seeing a small river flowing slowly in front of him, he chuckled, "Since my wife thinks I stink, why not take a bath with me? The water in the river is clear and it's hot. Do you want to join me?"

After thinking for a moment, Chu Qingmeng smiled and said, "That's fine."

After entering the water, Chu Qingmeng realized that the water was really cool. She broke away from Mo Liujin's hands, covered her face, sank into the water, and then began to swim away casually. Mo Liujin, who had just been smiling and watching her play, panicked when he found that she had not surfaced for a while, and sank into the water to look for her. Chu Qingmeng had held her breath and curled up at the bottom of the water. It felt very comfortable. She still liked to stay in the water. When she was in the mountains, her father rarely let her go into the water to play, and it was because she ignored him after entering the water. After searching for her up and down two or three times without seeing her figure, Mo Liujin was really anxious, "Qingmeng! Stop it! Come out!"

With a splash, Chu Qingmeng floated up from behind Mo Liujin, reached out and hugged him from behind, resting her head on his back and grinning, "What's up? It's a rare opportunity for me to play in the water, why are you in such a hurry?"

Hearing her voice, Mo Liujin breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and hugged her back, saying sternly, "Do you know how long it has been since you last surfaced?! Are you trying to scare me to death?!"

Chu Qingmeng looked at Mo Liujin in confusion. She hadn't been down there for long, had she? "Long? I feel like I just went down..."

Under the cool moonlight, Chu Qingmeng's icy blue eyes shone with a hint of allure. Mo Liujin felt himself lost in her gaze, even though it was now unfocused. Noticing that Mo Liujin wasn't answering her but was instead lost in thought, Chu Qingmeng suddenly remembered her own eyes. With a soft chuckle, she lowered her head onto his chest, refusing him to meet her gaze. While she wasn't a celestial fox, her inner core was a derivative of her father's, and she recognized the alluring, foxy look in her eyes.
