The fairy is fierce
Chapter 44 How do you know if you don’t try?
When the lights were just coming on, the streets of Yaocheng were brightly lit and people were everywhere.
In a house overlooking the harbor in the west of the city, Jiang Yi, wearing a red summer dress, stood by the fence on the second floor of the attic, staring at the scale-like waves under the moonlight, lost in thought.
The cool sea breeze stirred her long black hair, and her slender jade fingers fumbled with the bamboo pendant. The picture carved on the pendant was vivid, as if it happened yesterday, but the lecher who beat her disappeared at this moment, leaving only a trace of lovesickness, making people toss and turn in sleep.
The turmoil in the East China Sea has only been four days, but these four days are longer than any time in the past year or so - because Zuo Lingquan has completely lost contact, and even the ancestor Shangguan is unknown where he has gone.
Jiang Yi liked Zuo Lingquan, but she didn't know how much she liked him. Suddenly, she lost contact with him, didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and didn't know when he would return. Only then did she realize how distressing it was for a wife to wait for her husband at home when he went out to fight in the secular drama.
That feeling made her feel anxious and spent her days like years. She couldn't help but imagine the situation her husband was facing at the moment, but she had to comfort herself not to think badly. If her husband didn't come back, this tangled feeling would never end.
She was like this, and the other girls were not much better.
Standing by the attic fence, you can see Jingxun praying respectfully through the window of the wing room below.
Jingxun experienced the misery of all her relatives being separated from each other in her childhood, so her attachment to Zuo Lingquan can be imagined. When she heard that Zuo Lingquan was missing, Jingxun seemed to have lost her soul, no longer as enthusiastic and cheerful as before. In order not to affect other people's emotions, she avoided people all day and didn't even say a word.
Jingxun used to call Shangguan Laozu "dead woman" every day, but now her attitude changed drastically. She regarded it as her last straw, calling her "good sister" all the time, and spoke in a low voice, fearing that if she angered Shangguan Laozu, no one would care about Zuo Lingquan's life or death.
Shangguan Laozu didn't respond for a few days, and Jingxun didn't dare to urge him. Yesterday at noon, she actually went to the secular temple fair and invited many fictitious gods back, placed them in the house to offer incense, and worshiped them seriously.
This move seems a bit ridiculous. Most of the gods worshipped in the secular world are high-level cultivators who accidentally exposed their whereabouts. No matter how godly they are, they are not as godly as Shangguan Laozu; but how much rationality can a woman be asked to maintain when her man is missing and she is powerless?
Compared with Jingxun's desperate attempts to seek medical treatment, her aunt is much more rational. At this time, the beauty in the courtyard is leaning against the ground to practice, as if it is no different from the past.
But Jiang Yi knows that her aunt is doing this for her to see.
Whether Zuo Lingquan is at home or not, my aunt is the "elder" of the family. She brought her up and replaced her parents to become her warmest harbor and support.
At this time, even if my aunt is in a state of confusion and is more worried than anyone else, she has to show the stability and responsibility that an elder should have in front of her, and be her last support when she is panic-stricken.
Seeing my aunt's calm expression, Jiang Yi felt more at ease. Sometimes she comforted herself, "My aunt is not panicking, why should I panic?" Although she knew that this was just self-deception, she felt more at ease.
She was absent-minded, and Leng Zhu, as a maid, obviously couldn't relax there.
In the room behind the attic, Leng Zhu moved the things from the painting boat over, and buried her head in carefully dealing with the piles of case files in the Monster Hunting Department, with a bit of worry and sadness on her face.
Not only was she worried about Zuo Lingquan's safety, she was also worried that she would be too distracted. After working for a while, she would take out the files and ask some business questions to distract her and stop her from thinking too much.
It was a pity that Jiang Yi had no mind to deal with official business at this time. She didn't want Leng Zhu to find out that she was distracted, so she came to the attic to blow the sea breeze and be in a daze.
Jiang Yi looked at the sea alone for a long time, but never saw anyone returning from the sea. But when the moon was on the branches, she suddenly heard a vague noise coming from the room behind her:
"Squeak..."
Jiang Yi quickly came back to her senses and thought it was an auditory hallucination, but the sound was always there, becoming clearer and clearer from being unclear.
Leng Zhu just raised his head in confusion, and Jiang Yi had already flown into the room like a red gust of wind and looked in front of the desk.
There was a candle in the room, and the Kirin paperweight was placed on the desk. The water curtain that had not appeared for many days reappeared the scene.
The water curtain had a strange perspective. One could only see the woman's left eye and a little bit of her cheek. Her long eyelashes were clearly visible. The distance was very close, as if they were stuck together.
Jiang Yi recognized that this was Shangguan Lingye's eyes, but they no longer had the coldness and wisdom of a high position in the past. Instead, they were a little blurred. There seemed to be light in the crystal pupils, brighter than the stars in the sky.
Jiang Yi's eyes also lit up, and the depression of the past few days was swept away. She ran to ask about the whereabouts of the Concubine Zuo Lingquan, but suddenly realized that something was wrong - the scene she saw was exactly what Zuo Lingquan saw at this time. At this distance...
? !
Jiang Yi's relief was replaced by suspicion before it could fully appear on her face. The first sentence she said was:
"Zuo Lingquan! What are you doing?"
Before she finished speaking, the water curtain shook, the scenery began to spin, and the next moment it became dark again, and nothing could be seen...
------
Earlier
After Patriarch Shangguan left, Zuo Lingquan was eager to return home and rushed to Yaocheng.
Aicheng was the capital of the Western Frontier of the Imperial Imperial Dynasty, not too far from Linhai County where the Four Elephant Divine Marquiss were located; however, the location where Zuo Lingquan came out was not the sea area where the last conflict occurred, but near the waterway to and from Huajunzhou. The straight-line distance from Yicheng is more than a thousand miles.
The sea is boundless, and nothing else can be seen except the waves and the unchanging starry sky.
Zuo Lingquan could judge the direction through the stars, but he didn't know where he was. There was no Sky Escape Tower covering the sea, and he couldn't contact Jiang Yi and the others. He could only follow Tuanzi and fly eastward.
Shangguan Lingye left Macheng County, wearing the clothes of a secular woman. When he returned to this world, after his spiritual energy recovered, he had put on the golden phoenix skirt and restored his former graceful and noble appearance.
At first, Shangguan Lingye was walking by the wind beside him, talking and laughing, asking about the ancestors and Lord Peach Blossom. However, after walking forward for two quarters of an hour, the words became less and less, and the speed also slowed down.
Zuo Lingquan noticed something strange and turned around to look, only to find that Shangguan Lingye's lips were white and his eyes were a little dazed. He quickly slowed down and asked:
"Empress, what's wrong with you?"
Tuanzi, who was leading the way, also flapped his small wings and hovered in the air, asking with concern:
"grumble?"
Shangguan Lingye was ambushed by the Nether Ancestor at sea a few days ago with a soul-gathering flag. His soul was severely damaged and he had no time to recuperate. Returning to the vicinity of Yuyaozhou, although the Qi sea in the body was restored, the damage to the soul did not disappear. After arriving at a safe area and putting down the guard, the dizziness and fatigue originating from the depths of the soul began to impact the mind and limbs again.
"My soul is traumatized and my spirit is exhausted. It has little impact."
While talking, Shangguan Lingye took out the lotus platform from Linglong Pavilion and wanted to control the magical weapon back.
However, controlling a magical weapon also requires distraction. Seeing this, Zuo Lingquan leaned forward and gestured to the long sword at his feet:
"I'll take you back, you can rest for a while."
During Zuo Lingquan's battle in the East China Sea, his flying sword was knocked away by Gongsun Li who suddenly appeared. He didn't know where he lost it. He was currently wielding the Mo Yuan Sword.
Shangguan Lingye did not refuse, and landed lightly in front of Zuo Lingquan. He relaxed his body and stood up. As a result, the sword bumped up and down and almost dropped her.
Zuo Lingquan reacted very quickly and quickly held Shangguan Lingye's shoulders.
Shangguan Lingye frowned slightly. It was not clear whether Zuo Lingquan did it on purpose or if he was just a real person. She turned around slightly and said:
"Can you do it?"
Zuo Lingquan is already very skilled at flying objects in the air, but he doesn't need a flying sword to lead people to control the wind. He has only tried it a few times in the few days since he learned it. It is relatively unfamiliar and he has not yet found the feeling. He held Shangguan Lingye's shoulders and said confidently:
"Okay, just get used to it and you'll be fine. Stand firm."
After saying that, Yu Jian broke through the air and left.
The rapid push on the back caused Shangguan Lingye to press directly against Zuo Lingquan's chest, and the bulging clothes flattened out a little, and they did not return to their original state until the end of the acceleration.
Shangguan Lingye didn't know what to say, and he couldn't hit Zuo Lingquan anymore. He stood quietly on the sword, his long black hair with a faint fragrance brushing against Zuo Lingquan's cheek.
However, Zuo Lingquan was eager to return home. Even though he had Wenxiang Nephrite in his arms, he could not have any charming thoughts at this time.
When you are hunting in the sea breeze at night, you can't see anything except the bright moon, starry sky and sea water. The repetitive scenery makes it easy to get distracted.
Shangguan Lingye looked up at the moon in the sky, wandered for a moment, and sighed subconsciously:
"Alas~"
Zuo Lingquan would be reunited with his wives soon, so he was naturally in a good mood. Hearing the sigh, he felt that it was not caused by injury, but that he was in a depressed mood. He tilted his head in confusion and looked at the profile of the woman in front of him:
"We finally got out of trouble and can go home soon. Why are you so depressed? Is there something on your mind?"
Shangguan Lingye does have something on his mind. ♦♦ ♦♦Her parents have long since passed away, and it is difficult to see her master. The deep palace in Linyuan City is not a home at all. It can be said that she has no home since the day she set foot on the spiritual path. This is also true for most monks in the world. .
She lived in a dilapidated house in Macheng County for two days. Although it was short-lived, the two people's days together did make her feel a little bit like home. Unfortunately, the moon in the sky seemed to have not changed, but the whole world had changed. , as if people were brought back to the world from dreams in an instant.
After hearing Zuo Lingquan's inquiry, Shangguan Lingye came back to his senses and responded calmly:
"You are going home soon. You can have sex with women. Where can I go back? I will continue to sit on the boat and drift with the tide. I still have to deal with the endless case files. If I don't have a leisurely life in Macheng County, what is there to be happy about?"
"This is what cultivation is like, you are always on the road, there is no leisure time. As long as you have a good attitude..."
Shangguan Lingye rolled his eyes slightly and interrupted Zuo Lingquan's words:
"You are not very moral, but you do have a lot of truths. Do you think women would be interested in hearing this if you discuss this with women?"
"I just want to enlighten you. If you don't like to hear it, I'll say something else. Well...what do you want to hear?"
"Anyway, I don't want to hear about practice-related matters. I see you talking and laughing when you and Jiang Yi are together. It seems that she likes to hear everything you say. Just talk to me how you want to talk to her."
Zuo Lingquan was stunned - he and Jiang Yi were lovers. The topics they talked about could not be said to be scandalous, but they were still very close. They were all about the love between children. How could this kind of conversation be applied to the concubine and grandma?
"Well... Jiang Yi and I talk about everything together. To be specific, there is no fixed topic. People are different, so it's not easy to apply."
Shangguan Lingye said casually: "This is not easy. Just think of me as Jiang Yi. Do you want me to look like Jiang Yi?"
"ah?"
Zuo Lingquan had a strange look in his eyes. He wanted to explain that people have different degrees of intimacy and different ways of communicating. However, it was difficult to express this meaning in words. He couldn't just say, "Jiang Yi is my wife, and you are an outsider. Let's talk." It doesn't work'.
Shangguan Lingye waited for a moment, and when Zuo Lingquan didn't respond, he sighed quietly:
"Oh~ I came out to protect you, and I lived and died together once. In the end, I asked you to say something interesting to relieve your boredom, but you resisted..."
Zuo Lingquan shook his head quickly: "This is not my fault, it's just the way Jiang Yi and I chatted privately. I really can't apply it to the empress..."
Shangguan Lingye's face turned cold, he turned around and said dissatisfied:
"How will you know if you don't try?"
I don't know if it was because he was in a bad mood, but Shangguan Lingye's tone was slightly irritated. I'm afraid if he pushed her further, he would really get angry and leave.
"..."
Zuo Lingquan paused in his words, looking at the resolute grandma Toffee who was close at hand, and couldn't give any more reasons. He was silent for a moment and could only nod:
"Okay, let me try."
Shangguan Lingye's expression softened a little and he looked at the sea again:
"Let's talk."
Zuo Lingquan thought for a while, put on a cold and handsome expression, raised his hand and turned the Crown Princess in a circle, facing him and looking into her eyes:
"What do you want to talk about?"
His eyes were condescending, saying that Xie Mei was too greasy, but he did have a domineering tone, and his tone was threatening. It seemed that if Shangguan Lingye dared to say no, he would dare to do something treasonous and unethical on the spot.
? ! !
Shangguan Lingye was stunned. He had been a proud child since he was a child, and he had been in the Dowager Palace for eighty years. This was the first time in his life that a man dared to look at her like this!
Shangguan Lingye raised her cheeks and looked at the eyes that were trying to suppress her. The aura she had developed since childhood made her instinctively resist, and she frowned:
"What do you mean?"
Although he didn't say 'you are presumptuous', Shangguan Lingye's reaction was somewhat similar to that of Jiang Yi, who was born in the royal family.
Zuo Lingquan came closer and narrowed his eyes slightly:
"What do you think I mean?"
Shangguan Lingye felt that Zuo Lingquan wanted to round her up and flatten her, but unlike Jiang Yi, she could really beat Zuo Lingquan, so she would not be afraid, so her response was naturally tough:
"How would I know?"
"..."
Zuo Lingquan opened his mouth. He didn't have absolute strength to back him up. He couldn't control the girl, and he couldn't be domineering at all. How could he continue to answer the question?
Seeing that the concubine was almost looking down at him and showed no intention of submissiveness, Zuo Lingquan secretly gritted his teeth, his face darkened, and he patted Shangguan Lingye's buttocks with his sword scabbard.
Snap——
The sound sounds like it can be broken by a bomb.
Tuanzi, who was flying in front, turned around and said "Ji?!" in shock, and almost fell into the sea.
? !
Shangguan Lingye was stunned on the spot, his eyes were stunned, and his thoughts were short-circuited. He did not expect that Zuo Lingquan would suddenly come like this.
The blow was very light, not painful at all, and in terms of physical contact, a slap with the scabbard was far inferior to hugging her with his hands; but hugging her was an act of urgency and unintentional, and this time it was truly intentional.
Is this kid so brave after eating a bear's heart?
Zuo Lingquan's expression was cold, and he was actually ready to be beaten. Seeing that the concubine's grandma was stunned and did not make a move, he could only maintain his current state and continue to speak condescendingly:
"I hit you with the scabbard. I didn't take advantage of you. This is to teach you how to be a human being. If you talk to people so arrogantly, it's okay if you meet someone who is reasonable like me. But if you meet someone who is unreasonable... you punch me If you go down, you have to beg others not to die."
"grumble??"
Shangguan Lingye stared with a pair of beautiful eyes. He was originally a little annoyed by Zuo Lingquan's boldness, but when he said this sentence, he was completely defeated. He seemed to want to laugh, but he held it back, so his expression was very strange.
The bright moon is faint, and our eyes face each other.
Seeing Shangguan Lingye's mediocre reaction, Zuo Lingquan felt that the strength was still not enough, so he got closer, hooked his hands on Guan Lingye's lower back, and leaned his cheek close to him, pretending to force a kiss.
If Jiang Yi had encountered this kind of thing back then, she would have definitely avoided or raised her hand to him, and then the two of them started quarreling and flirting.
But Shangguan Lingye stood on the sword, keeping a strange expression. He didn't know whether he didn't react, or he had enough time to react, but he hesitated because of the endless changes in his heart. Anyway, he didn't move, and was caught by Zuo Lingquan. inside.
Zuo Lingquan maintained a stern expression. He was just pretending, but Shangguan Lingye didn't hide, so he was naturally confused.
This situation should have stopped here, but Zuo Lingquan didn't know what to think, his heart trembled, and driven by an instant impulse, he continued to move towards the soft red lips.
Subconsciously, Zuo Lingquan felt that it was time for the Dowager Empress to react and avoid or push him away, so she kept moving forward.
But what I didn't expect was that the Dowager Empress had learned the true story of the Iron Head Mansion, and she never retreated, and didn't hide at all. The kiss was so smooth that the two of them even touched their foreheads.
Boom——
The four lips meet, cool and soft, with a hint of sweetness.
The endless blue sea under the moonlight seemed to freeze in an instant.
Shangguan Lingye, who was wearing a gorgeous phoenix skirt, was held by the waist and raised on his toes. His clear eyes were wide open, but the thoughts behind his eyes could not be seen.
Zuo Lingquan was the one who took the initiative, but instead he was stunned, with a little red lip in his mouth, before he realized what he had done.
Zuo Lingquan was a little worried about being beaten to death, and wanted to separate quickly, but the sweetness between their lips made him realize that even if they separated now, they would still be beaten to death.
So Zuo Lingquan didn't let go in the end, just staring blankly at the clear eyes in front of him, waiting for the Concubine Dowager to react first.
But the Concubine Dowager seemed to be too shocked, and she was stunned for a long, long time, and she didn't even resist having her pearly teeth picked open, but just looked at him with wide eyes.
The sea breeze was blowing, and a pair of men and women were galloping between the sky and the sea, facing each other, and their sword-riding postures were very strange.
Tuanzi flew in front with his wings flapping, turned his head to look at the two, and wanted to ask them what they were doing without looking at the road, but was afraid of being disliked by the nanny, so he didn't say "ji?" in the end.
Time passed for a long time, but it seemed like only a short moment.
No matter how strong Shangguan Lingye's mind and body were, they were melted by the sweetness between his lips, his eyes gradually blurred, and his breathing showed slight ripples.
Zuo Lingquan gradually became distracted from being terrified, with fewer and fewer distracting thoughts in his mind. His hand moved up along his waistline, gradually approaching a place that he shouldn't be close to.
Unfortunately, at this critical moment, a voice suddenly appeared in his mind and forcibly pulled Zuo Lingquan back:
"Zuo Lingquan! What are you doing?!"
Zuo Lingquan's right eye was equipped with a monitor. At this time, he was close to the coast and could contact Jiang Yi and the others!
The long-lost voice suddenly appeared in his mind. Zuo Lingquan was shocked before he could be surprised. He fell into the sea with his sword.
Shangguan Lingye also remembered this and quickly raised his finger to quietly destroy the formation in Zuo Lingquan's eyes, but it was obviously too late to make up for it.
Zuo Lingquan quickly parted his lips, helped Shangguan Lingye to stabilize his body, turned his head to look at the sea, pretended to check the enemy's situation, and said:
"Jiang Yi? Finally got in touch, I'll be back soon... Hello? Hello?"
After a long time of calling, there was naturally no response in his mind.
Zuo Lingquan was a little confused, blinked his right eye, and asked:
"Queen Tai, what's going on?"
Shangguan Lingye pretended to be ignorant, and looked around a few times:
"The formation has been in use for too long, maybe it has failed."
"Really? It was fine just now..."
Seeing this, Zuo Lingquan quickly took out the Tiandun card from Linglong Pavilion and tried to contact:
"Hello?...Jiang Yi?"
The Tiandun card quickly responded:
"Why did you close your eyes?"
"I didn't close them, there was a problem with the formation."
"Why was the Queen Tai so close just now? It seemed to be right in front of me..."
"Uh..." Zuo Lingquan's expression froze.
Shangguan Lingye interrupted, "My eyes hurt just now, so I asked Zuo Lingquan to check if there was anything wrong."
"Oh... Are you all okay? Where have you been these days?"
"We're fine, we'll be back soon..."
...
The inquiries continued, and Wu Qingwan and Tang Jingyan soon joined in, with their sweet voices and chattering, making Zuo Lingquan overwhelmed.
Shangguan Lingye stood by his side and would also interrupt and say a few words, as if nothing had happened just now.
But after Zuo Lingquan reported his safety to his family, the light on the Tiandun card had just dissipated, and before he could put it away, he found a slender white jade hand appeared in front of him and took the Tiandun card away.
Zuo Lingquan was a little confused, and turned his head to look at the palace-dressed beauty next to him, but saw that the concubine grandmother who had just spoken warmly had turned her face into frost and snow, and her eyes were full of shame and anger, staring at him.
! !
It's over...
Zuo Lingquan tried his best to look calm and smiled:
"Lingye, what's wrong?"
"Did you call me Lingye?"
"Uh... Queen Concubine, what's wrong?"
Shangguan Lingye had murderous intent in his eyes, and he raised his hand to wipe his red lips:
"What did you do to me just now?"
Zuo Lingquan saw that Shangguan Lingye seemed to be really angry, and he thought it was not good, so he explained:
"Just now, the Queen asked me to use the tone I used to communicate with Jiang Yi..."
"Do you think it was me who ordered you to kiss me?"
"No, no. Well...I was too immersed in the play, and I couldn't help but act impulsively. I thought the Queen would avoid it, but the Queen didn't..."
"My soul was injured, and my reaction was slow. I was distracted by your abnormal attitude just now."
"..."
Zuo Lingquan kissed for half a minute, and even stuck out his tongue. Even if the reaction was slow, it shouldn't be so slow, right? He was not sure:
"Really?"
"Why? You took advantage of someone's misfortune and want to put the blame on me?"
"No, um..."
"Forget it, just think of it as a momentary impulse. Don't mention this to outsiders."
After saying that, Shangguan Lingye pretended to leave with his sleeves, left the long sword, flew to the coast alone.
Zuo Lingquan wanted to say something, but Shangguan Lingye didn't give him a chance at all. He was left far behind in the blink of an eye, and he didn't catch up until he arrived at Yaocheng...
