Quick Transmigration: I'm the Villain's Assistant to the Protagonist

Chapter 190 The Mystery of Peach Blossom Spring 9

Looking at her adorable yet surprised expression, Zhang Wei smiled slightly and nodded gently. He sat there quietly, letting Shen Ying's fingers touch and explore his translucent body, his eyes filled with doting affection, like a deep ocean that could encompass all of Shen Ying's emotions.

Shen Ying, like a child who has discovered a new and exciting toy, kept poking Zhang Wei's translucent body, getting more and more excited as she poked, and even became a little obsessed.

Her hand inadvertently touched Zhang Wei's abdomen, and this seemed to trigger some magical switch. She was slightly startled, then her eyes lit up, as if she had discovered a new continent. The outline of his abdominal muscles, hidden under his clothes, was clearly defined; even in his ghost form, the firm muscle lines could be clearly felt. As if bewitched, Shen Ying couldn't help but reach out and touch it again.

Just then, a large, icy hand suddenly grabbed her wrist like lightning. Zhang Wei looked helpless, a strange emotion flashing in his deep eyes. He said with a hint of warning, "Even if you become a ghost, I will still be able to feel it."

Shen Ying tilted her head in confusion at first, looking cute and innocent, then her gaze followed to their touching hands. Instantly, she seemed to understand something, her face flushing red to her ears. She quickly pulled her hand back, her eyes darting around in a flustered manner, and apologized somewhat awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I was just a little curious."

Zhang Wei chuckled softly, his laughter like a clear mountain spring flowing over rocks, crisp and melodious. Looking at Shen Ying's shy and embarrassed expression, the helplessness in his eyes had long since transformed into boundless tenderness.

In this tranquil atmosphere, Shen Ying felt waves of drowsiness washing over her, as the ancient people's habit of going to bed early and getting up early had gradually influenced her during this period.

After saying goodnight to Zhang Wei, she returned to her room. The room wasn't large, but it had a warm and peaceful atmosphere. After a quick wash, she lay down on the soft bed, pulled the blanket over herself, and quickly drifted off to sleep, a slight smile playing on her lips.

Meanwhile, after Shen Ying fell asleep, Zhang Wei quietly moved around the wooden house. He first came to Shen Ying's door, paused for a moment, listened carefully to make sure she was sound asleep, and then turned around with peace of mind.

Then, he floated to the window and looked out into the dark night through the blurry glass. Moonlight shone on his translucent body, giving it a faint, ethereal glow. He stood there quietly, as if guarding the peaceful night and watching over Shen Ying, who was fast asleep inside, until the first light of dawn appeared in the east.

As the first rays of dawn pierced through the clouds, the soft light seemed alive, gently caressing Zhang Wei's translucent body. The light, like a pair of warm hands, slowly seeped into his soul, initiating a wondrous transformation.

Golden halos emanated from Zhang Wei's body, and his previously ethereal outline gradually solidified. His limbs warmed first, as if blood was flowing again through his veins, from his fingertips to his wrists, from his ankles to his knees; the familiar human texture was slowly returning. His abdomen, the place Shen Ying had curiously touched, showed increasingly defined muscle lines, and his skin, once translucent, gained a healthy luster, as if vitality was surging from within.

His face was changing; his features became more defined and expressive, and a clear, serene light returned to his deep eyes. His once ethereal hair gained weight, falling onto his shoulders and swaying gently in the morning breeze. His clothes, which had been translucent and ethereal, returned to soft fabric, clinging to his body.

Zhang Wei quietly experienced this process. He knew that as the sun rose, the power of the curse temporarily receded, and he returned to his human form.

He turned to look at Shen Ying's door, his eyes filled with tenderness. On this new day, he would continue to accompany her in his human form.

The morning sunlight, like scattered gold dust, spilled across the town's cobblestone streets as Zhang Wei and Shen Ying walked side by side toward the market. Zhang Wei's expression was calm, his steps steady, while Shen Ying followed beside him, her eyes sparkling with curiosity about her surroundings.

They walked towards the market, chatting and laughing along the way. When they arrived, the market was bustling with activity and filled with lively chatter. Zhang Wei led Shen Ying through the various stalls, selecting fresh ingredients.

Zhang Wei picked up a tender carrot, weighed it in his hand, and handed it to Shen Ying. "This will make a very sweet soup." Shen Ying smiled and took it. The carrot still had glistening water droplets on it, sparkling in the sunlight.

They also selected several pieces of fresh tofu, white and tender, like freshly made works of art. There was also a bunch of vibrant green vegetables, their leaves unfurled, full of life.

While selecting meat, Zhang Wei carefully examined the quality and finally chose a piece of pork with a good balance of fat and lean. Shen Ying watched from the side, her eyes filled with curiosity.

As they passed a tavern stall, a sweet aroma of wine wafted towards them. "Peach blossom wine, sweet and delicious peach blossom wine!" the stall owner's call was loud and enticing. Shen Ying stopped in her tracks, her gaze drawn to the peach blossom wine displayed on the stall, her eyes filled with curiosity. The wine was served in delicate little porcelain bottles, its pinkish-white color resembling blooming peach blossoms in spring—just looking at it evoked a sense of sweetness.

Seeing this, Zhang Wei's lips curled into a slight smile. He walked to the stall and bought a small bottle of peach blossom wine. "Try it, this peach blossom wine is very famous around here." He handed the wine to Shen Ying, his eyes filled with affection. Shen Ying happily accepted it, holding it carefully. Afterwards, the two of them, carrying the purchased ingredients, continued walking towards the wooden house.

After purchasing the ingredients for soup, Zhang Wei and Shen Ying returned to the cabin. They busied themselves in the kitchen, preparing today's meal. The kitchen was filled with the aroma of food, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Night fell, and the stars twinkled in the sky. Zhang Wei and Shen Ying sat in the courtyard outside the wooden house, the moonlight bathing them like a silver veil. The surroundings were utterly quiet, broken only by the occasional chirping of insects.

Shen Ying's eyes suddenly lit up, as if a shooting star had flashed through her mind. She turned to look at Zhang Wei, her eyes sparkling with anticipation, and excitedly said, "Can we try the peach blossom wine we bought during the day?"

Looking into her bright eyes, Zhang Wei's lips unconsciously curled into a smile. "Of course, you wait and see." With that, he got up and went into the house.

A moment later, Zhang Wei came out with the bottle of peach blossom wine. He gently opened the bottle cap, and with a soft "pop," a rich fragrance of peach blossoms wafted out, enveloping them and transforming the entire courtyard into a peach blossom grove.

Shen Ying took a deep breath, her face full of intoxication, "It smells so good, it feels like being in a peach orchard in spring." Zhang Wei smiled and nodded, carefully pouring the peach blossom wine into two small wine glasses. The wine shimmered with a faint pink luster in the glasses, like pink stars twinkling in the night sky.

Zhang Wei picked up a cup and handed it to Shen Ying, looking at her tenderly, "Try it, this peach blossom wine is a fine wine in this area."

Shen Ying took the glass, gently swirled it, and watched the pink halo swirl within. She teased, "It's so beautiful, I almost don't want to drink it." Then she took a small sip, the wine sliding down her throat, the sweet flavor spreading in her mouth. "Wow, it's so delicious! It's like peach blossoms blooming in my mouth!"

Seeing her happy expression, Zhang Wei also picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and said with a smile, "I'm glad you like it."
