Beauty helps me achieve immortality

……

Noon the next day.

The warm sunlight shines on the sea of ​​flowers, casting mottled shadows through the ancient trees...light and shadows sway among the white snow.

The world here is peaceful, quiet, and filled with subtle fragrance, just like a dream.

In a small courtyard outside Skylark Villa, only the cool breeze rustled the dead branches.

And on the strange rock tea table in the stone pavilion in the courtyard... there is a delicate magic dagger deeply embedded in it. The jade handle stained with blood is reflected by the sunlight and looks even brighter red.

There are crystal dots of frost hanging on the blood handle, which seem to be able to turn the warm sunshine into a colorful dream.

But it is not difficult to see that those blood marks should be the hand marks of a woman... The fingers are slender and delicate, and the palm lines are clean and soft.

Looking up at the courtyard, you can see a hole exploded between the window frames, from which the dagger must have shot out.

It was a bedroom, but also a quiet room for spiritual practice that gathered spiritual energy. It was quite common in the Yunque Villa in Wanhuaping.

But unlike most vacant bedrooms...

A young girl was sleeping softly on the bed, her faded star-shaped veil was neatly stacked beside her, and her exquisite little boots were far away from the bed... placed behind the door.

The girl had extremely beautiful eyebrows, but at this moment they were slightly furrowed in the center of her brows, and her curved eyelashes kept trembling as if she was frightened.

Along with her long and soft breathing, there were also soft moans and snoring coming from her nose.

——Ye Xi never knew that he sometimes snore while sleeping.

She just curled up, hiding her cheek in the warm velvet quilt, her slender legs pressed together to clamp the quilt tightly, and her jade hands with exposed veins tightly grasped her bellyband.

pain.

A pain that makes the soul tremble.

It's like pulverizing bones and extracting marrow, like pulling out tendons and cutting flesh...

Like a surging tide, it drowned the girl's dreams, but turned into fine beads of sweat, hanging between her chin and snow-white neck.

"Ho-ho-"

Ye Xi suddenly woke up with his eyes wide open, his dilated pupils staring at the dome and gasping heavily.

His shoulder blade was pierced... his heart and lungs were pierced by a gun... his severed arm was cut off bit by bit by a dagger... his struggle with his mother... and even the pain of being trampled underfoot...

The illusions and dreams of this life come one after another.

Gradually, her pale cheeks became calm, just like every morning when she woke up in shock.

The girl leaned against the headboard, panting deeply. She looked down at her bellyband, raised her hand and supported her breasts with a sneer of disdain...

Then she lightly raised her head with force, yawned comfortably, and then easily wiped away the sweat from her cheeks.

But she saw the little boots leaning against the door.

Seeing the neatly arranged star veil beside me, I felt somewhat lost in thought...

Even Ye Xi could never have imagined that after she returned from her sparring match with Hong Ning last night and got drunk after drinking together, it was Zhou Xiaoyi who sent her back.

He just picked her up and gently laid out a new mattress for her, took out a brand new velvet quilt, and helped her take off her dress and boots. After sitting for a while, he opened the restriction and left.

Xiaoyi...

Auntie...

Ye Xi naturally knew the nicknames used by Zhao Qing's family.

But now, I was dizzy and confused after the hangover, and I still couldn’t figure it out... Why was it my aunt?

Even though Shuyue felt resentful towards her, she knew that she was an extremely gentle woman. Thinking about it, it should be easier for her to take care of her than her aunt...

Ye Xi simply stopped thinking about it.

He rubbed his sleepy eyes hard, leaned against the head of the bed and stared out the window in a daze.

The azure sky was broken by flowing clouds, and the dazzling warm sun seemed to suddenly descend upon the world, dispelling all the noisy laughter in the snowy night.

Perhaps because she had been drunken and laughing all night, she felt that today's sunshine was warmer than usual... and she couldn't help but lean forward and gaze into the distance.

But he was suddenly surprised, as if he saw Canyang for the first time in his life.

A curious smile appeared in the girl's beautiful eyes, and a warm current flowed through the depths of her heart. Her slender hands involuntarily relaxed...

But the tenderness that suddenly appeared in his eyes disappeared in a flash.

Only after remembering the present world, the sudden emptiness and tearing... are difficult to heal.

Suddenly like a dream.

……

Just at this moment, a cold woman in red gauze clothes walked into the small courtyard. It seemed that her spiritual consciousness saw Ye Xi's weakness at the moment, and she rarely showed some gentleness.

"woke up?"

The aunt chuckled and called out, then casually pulled out the blood-stained dagger, stepped lightly across the restriction, and walked into Ye Xi's bedroom.

As the wooden door opened and closed, a cool breeze blew in, instantly wiping out the warmth in the bedroom, but bringing another refreshing and sweet fragrance.

My aunt looked so relaxed as if she had just returned home.

Ye Xi suddenly felt a sense of grievance, but it was only a momentary sadness, and then it turned into a bright smile. She opened her red lips and spoke with her sweet tongue. Her voice, just woken from sleep, was especially warm and pleasant: "What's that smell?"

"tangerine."

The aunt whispered casually, put the dagger on the window table, and went to boil water to make tea. She also planned to have a drink and sit down.

She added, "Unripe oranges."

"Why, did you think it was some expensive perfume?"

Ye Xi's expression froze, but she did not get out of bed to dress and rush to help. She... was only wearing a bellyband.

To be precise, my aunt took off all my clothes except for my bellyband.

The girl asked slowly, puzzled, "Unripe...oranges?"

"Green tangerine."

"Zhao Qing called me Orange, and over time, everyone started calling me Orange."

"Just lie down, it's nothing."

My aunt whispered casually, brought two cups of hot tea and sat at the head of the bed.

It's green tangerine...

Ye Xi subconsciously took one of the lamps and wanted to say thank you but found that he couldn't say it. It was not that he was hesitant, but he just felt that it was awkward to thank him.

She tried to blend in with her aunt's relaxed and carefree mood, and asked with a soft smile, "Where's everyone? Aren't we going to Xia's today?"

"No hurry yet."

"The Blood-Robed Five have some influence outside of the Huawai area, and Yinghan and Xiaoru are their friends there."

"Yeah... I know." The girl covered the thin quilt with her fair arms and nodded weakly in response.

The aunt glanced at her strangely and continued to whisper casually, "Zhao Qing took Shuyue and Qinghuan to accompany Yinghan and the others to Duanlang Province to meet the other senior sisters. They will be back later."

Oh……

Ye Xi understood and nodded slightly.

I only heard my aunt laugh again: "Qingrao accompanied Ning'er to visit Fengwu City. I wanted to ask you to come with me, but since you were too tired these past few days, I asked you to stay and rest."

"Where's the Empress? And Senior Sister Chu Xin and Xian Ning..."

Ye Xi instantly realized the three people who were missed, and whispered with concern and curiosity.

The aunt smiled, took off her shoes lightly, and leaned on the bed with her sleeves gathered up casually, whispering lazily: "Isn't Si He outside basking in the sun?"

"He's probably chatting with Zhao Qing in his heart and has no time to deal with others."

"Chu Xin and Xian Ning went back to Yongning to see some old friends. Chu Xin will be back in a few days, but I don't think I'll be able to see Xian Ning for a while."

Ye Xi was silent for a moment.

He shook his head helplessly and laughed at himself, "I promised to go with Senior Sister Chu Xin, but I missed it because I was lazy in bed... You guys really spoil me too much."

The aunt glanced at her with her beautiful eyes, as if smiling, and said jokingly, "I originally wanted you to go to Chu State first, but Qingrao didn't let you?"

"Zhao Qing tricked Qingrao into staying in Zhongzhou, but he doesn't dare to throw you out..."

Zhao Qing and Bai Yu walking?

The girl's beautiful eyes instinctively revealed curiosity. She approached her aunt and whispered, "Young Master and Bai Yu are walking together... do they already have feelings for each other?"

The aunt looked at the girl helplessly again, knowing that she was used to pretending like this. She was practicing alone in Yuelian and she had to fit in with her fellow sisters.

She asked with a strange smile: "Why, do you want to help?"

Ye Xi nodded and smiled softly: "If there is anything I can do, I will do it. I think Bai Yuxingxing likes me very much. Maybe it will be useful to them..."

My aunt's eyes became more and more amused, and she muttered casually: "Who doesn't like you?"

She raised her hand to cover Ye Xi with the thin blanket, then shook her head and chuckled: "No need to help, they have nothing in common, they are just friends."

"You expect a ghost to fall in love with a man with three wives and four concubines?"

"Or do you expect a man with three wives and four concubines to fall in love with a ghost?"

Seeing Ye Xi smiling quietly, the aunt couldn't help but move closer and chat with her, "Bai Yuxingxing doesn't have anyone close to her. Apart from Senior Sister Tian Xiangzhi from the previous generation, she's only familiar with Ning'er."

The girl nodded slightly upon hearing this and softly guessed, "Is it because of status?"

"People in Zhongzhou say that among the few generations who have traveled around, only two have ended up in Shengzhou."

"The others... the Li family of Jizhou, the Qianhuan Ji family, and the Bodhi Buddha Kingdom have all successively attained spiritual wisdom, even to the point where a skeleton ascended and walked on white jade."

"I think when Senior Sister Qingrao became a walking monster, she was still a lonely bone monster."

"But after becoming a wanderer, my status is high. If I have old friends, it's fine. But if I don't have any old friends...my senior brothers and sisters around me don't dare to get close to me."

"Since you became a Blood Robe Walker, I think few strangers will approach you, let alone make close friends."

My aunt raised her eyebrows when she heard this and said mockingly, "Why not?"

"Those fairies outside Longyuan were busy communicating with him, but it was all fleeting."

"However...Since Zhao Qingcheng started out, he actually made a close friend of a girl."

Became walking since?

Ye Xi looked curious and said with a soft smile, "Is it Senior Sister Tang from Mingchuanfang?"

What period of the Tang Dynasty?

My aunt chuckled, pursed her lips, and shook her head, muttering to herself, "It's our Zhongzhou Yuelian Saint, Fairy Ye Xi."

Is it me?!

How can this be……

Ye Xi looked at him strangely, as if he didn't quite believe it. He chuckled helplessly and said, "You're just teasing me. Last night, Qing Huan asked me... I couldn't bear it anymore. I had to evade him with great difficulty."

"I really don't have any thoughts about him..."

The girl smiled with resentment in her eyes, staring at her aunt and muttering with a chuckle: "Are you testing Xi'er?"

The aunt's expression became more and more playful, and she looked at Ye Xi with a smile as if she wanted to see something from her eyes.

What are you trying to do?

Do you still need to test?

She slowly shook her head and smiled, "I thought Zhao Qing and Qing Rao, who had nothing in common, could have any gossip about each other... Little did I know that in Shu Yue's eyes, you are much more threatening than Bai Yu Xingzou."

"We just treated Qingrao's little thing as a fun thing to watch."

"On the contrary, you are the tough one."

threaten……?

Tricky…?

The girl smiled strangely in her heart, knowing that it was normal for a man of her status to have three wives and four concubines. But since Shuyue felt that it was too much... although she didn't understand, she respected him.

She easily hid under the quilt and smiled softly: "What threat can I pose? Didn't you keep me here for Qingrao?"

The aunt lowered her head and sipped her hot tea, then stared quietly into the girl's eyes. After a long moment, she smiled and said, "It's hard to say..."

"Early in the morning, Qinghuan wanted to take Shuyue to see you, but she didn't have the courage to do so." The aunt also lightly bent down to put down the teacup and leaned against the head of the bed with Ye Xi.
