Holding a crispy and delicious grilled fish, Nangong Wujiu came to Chu Fengyi and handed the fish to her. "Eat it. I remember that you went out without having lunch. You should be very hungry now.”
Chu Fengyi stared at the fish first, then raised her head to glare at him." You're spying on me? Otherwise, how did you know that I didn't eat lunch?”
Nangong Wujiu sat down beside her." That's right. I've been paying attention to you because I like you and want you. So, I naturally know what you're doing.”
She was furious and slapped him." You're shameless! You…"
He smiled and gently caressed his flushed cheeks. He stared at her with his bright eyes." I deserve to be hit! The first time I saw a girl, I hugged her and kissed her. I even followed her around like a fool. She went to fetch water, and I went to fetch water. When she went to plant the seeds and herbs, I hid in the tree and peeked. She started a fire in the kitchen to cook while I coughed violently outside, smelling the smell of firewood.”
He paused and said in a hoarse voice," Even when she was asleep, I was still reluctant to leave. I stood outside her room, dozens of feet away, afraid that she would disappear like smoke. When I found out that she was going to Horseshoe Valley to pick agarwood, I didn't even sleep or eat before I followed her. Who knew that she would be so scared that she sprained her ankle? Say, shouldn't I be beaten up like this?”
Chu Fengyi was so angry that she could not speak.
This person was actually pestering her to this extent, even when she was sleeping? She…she couldn't forgive him. She would never forgive him!
She raised her hand and slapped Nangong Wujiu's face again." You're shameless. You deserve to die. You're a lecher, a lecher, you…"
Nangong Wujiu did not dodge or fight back. He just sat there quietly, allowing Chu Fengyi's slaps to land on his face one, two, three times…
In the end, Chu Fengyi's heart softened because of the pain in her hand." You…Why didn't you dodge? You could have dodged it, so why didn't you?”
He pursed his lips slightly and reached out to hold her slightly red and swollen hand. He brought it to his lips and kissed it gently.
"Because you're angry, and you look so beautiful when you're angry. Besides, I was wrong first, so it's only right for me to let you hit me a few times.”
Chu Fengyi felt as if she had been struck by lightning and quickly retracted her hand." You…"
"Are you still angry?"
She didn't shake her head or nod her head. She just stared at him in confusion.
"Since you're not angry anymore, can you eat the fish? You haven't eaten anything since noon, and you've walked so far. If you don't eat something, your body will be exhausted. Here, take it." He handed the fish to her again and said gently, his eyes full of sincerity.
Under such circumstances, could Chu Fengyi still reject him? She took the grilled fish and ate it slowly.
Seeing that she had eaten the fish, Nangong Wujiu was finally relieved. He stood up and went to the fire to continue grilling a few fish that were not yet cooked.
Chu Fengyi nestled beside the big rock, munching on the fish as he secretly sized him up under the light of the fire and moonlight.
To be honest, he was really a rare handsome man. However, he was not as astonishingly handsome as Zhuge Rongruo. Instead, he had a unique temperament that could not be ignored or forgotten.
His face was like jade, his eyes were like bright stars, his red lips were bright, and his handsome face was like the morning dew, like the new paulownia tree. He was solemn, bright and clear, and his demeanor was especially beautiful.
However, the most eye-catching thing about him was not his handsome and free figure, but the faint melancholy between his brows, as well as the faint but somewhat arrogant and cynical smile that always lingered at the corner of his mouth.
It was this smile and depression that made him exude a contradictory aura of arrogance and depression. He was like a lonely pine tree, a crane in a flock of chickens, but also like a spring willow, as bright as a cold star. It was unforgettable.
Nangong Wujiu seemed to know that Chu Fengyi was looking at him. He turned his head and gave her a bright smile. That smile made Chu Fengyi's heart skip a beat, and her face flushed red for some reason.
She hurriedly lowered her head and pretended to be eating fish.
At this moment, Nangong Wujiu had already walked over with a fish. He took the half-eaten fish from Chu Fengyi's hand and handed her a brand new fish that had just been roasted.
"The remaining fish head and tail are not delicious. Don't eat them. Give them to me!”
Chu Fengyi was stunned. She watched as he picked up the half-eaten fish and ate it with relish. She was surprised and touched." You…"
"Hurry up and eat. If it's cold, it'll have a fishy smell.”He said gently, his eyes full of smiles, looking very happy.
Chu Fengyi looked at him." You…Why are you so good to me? I don't even know you. I even hit you and scolded you. You…Why are you still so good to me? And…"
"And what?" He stopped and waited for her words.
"And you're so strange, really strange.”
"Oh? What's strange about it?" He smiled at her.
"You seem very happy." She paused for a moment." We're trapped in a place like this, and we don't even have a place to sleep. We even have to use such a difficult method to fill our stomachs. Why do you look so happy?”
"You really want to know?"
Chu Fengyi was stunned." I…"
"If you want to know, it's fine to tell you.”
He suddenly moved closer to her. The distance was so close that Chu Fengyi could smell the faint fragrance on his body.
"Because of you, because you're here, because I can be with you, so I'm very happy!”
She widened her eyes and stared at him in disbelief.
"You don't believe me, do you? But I'm telling the truth. From the first time I saw you, I've always dreamed of being alone with you like this. Now that my dream has come true, how can I not be happy?”He lowered his head, his hot lips less than an inch away from her." Don't reject me, my Little Feng. If you reject me again, I'll have to disregard everything…"
Before he could finish speaking, the ground began to shake again. As it shook, the surrounding forest and trees also let out rumbling sounds. Rocks and boulders mixed with sand and yellow soil attacked the two of them like thousands of troops.
Nangong Wujiu instinctively pulled Chu Fengyi into his arms and protected her with his own body.
Suddenly, Nangong Wujiu let out a muffled groan and water droplets fell on Chu Fengyi's face. Chu Fengyi was shocked." You…What's wrong with you?" Are you alright?"
Nangong Wujiu chuckled, his voice sounding a little forced." It's fine, of course it's fine. If something happened, would I still be able to speak and protect you? Of course I'm…fine!"
As he spoke, Nangong Wujiu's body went limp and he lay motionless on Chu Fengyi's body. He had obviously fainted.
When Nangong Wujiu woke up, the first thing he felt was not the warm sun above his head, but the lingering melody of the flute, like a dragon diving into the deep valley and a phoenix dancing in the nine heavens.
He felt strange. Why was there a flute in this valley?
With this thought, he naturally moved and wanted to get up.
Chu Fengyi's gentle voice was heard and a pair of warm hands pressed him down." Don't move. You're badly injured and you've lost a lot of blood. It's better for you to lie down. Don't get up."”
Nangong Wujiu looked at her. He saw a few sparkling tears on her pale face." You're fine. Why are you crying?"”
She shook her head, but her tears had already fallen onto Nangong Wujiu's hands.
"Is this…for me?"
This time, she didn't shake her head. Tears fell again.
He could not help but feel sorry for her. He reached out and wiped her tears away." Tell me, are these tears for me? If that was the case, then even if I died now, I would have no regrets. If not, then I really wish I could immediately let the big rock smash me a few more times, just to exchange for a drop of your tears for me.”
She hurriedly covered his mouth with her hand." Why are you still so serious at this time? Can't you see that he's already so anxious…"
She couldn't continue. Her pretty face was flushed red, and her appearance was as alluring as she could be.
He grabbed her hand and kissed it gently." So you're really crying for me? Look, I'm fine, aren't I?”
She looked at him faintly." You…Why do you have to do this? Why do you have to make yourself into a sorry state time and time again for me? And now you've injured yourself, you…"
He pursed his lips slightly and grabbed her tightly with his large hand. His clear eyes stared straight at her." Because I love you! For you, even if I have to give up my life, I am willing to do so, let alone suffer such a small injury!”
" But I…" She paused and hesitated for a while before saying,""You know that my identity is different. My marriage cannot be decided by my parents 'orders or the words of a matchmaker. It must also be approved by the heavenly daughter. Moreover, even if the Holy Lady agrees, I might not be able to marry you, because you still have to undergo the trial of the Heavenly Fire and wait for me to turn eighteen.”
Nangong Wujiu shook his head nonchalantly." I've said it before. I'm willing to give up my life for you, let alone accept the trial. Besides, do you think I'm the kind of person who would back down because of your status?”
He reached out and lifted her left sleeve, revealing a white jade-like arm. He caressed a bead of red chastity sand on his head." I knew you were from the Phoenix Palace in Dunhuang, and I also knew the rules of the Phoenix Palace. I also knew that you had to be eighteen years old before you could get married. Otherwise, I would have wanted you the first time I saw you. Do you know that?”
Chu Fengyi's face turned red again. She pulled her hand away as if she had been hit by a big rock." You!”
"Don't hide from me. I'm just telling the truth. Don't treat me like a lecher. I'm just a pitiful worm who wants to love you but is afraid of scaring you.”He said reluctantly, then let go of Chu Fengyi's hand and lay down on the ground weakly. Cold sweat kept dripping down his forehead. It was obvious that this conversation had exhausted all his strength.
Chu Fengyi was shocked and quickly went over." Are you in a lot of pain? Turn over and let me see your injuries.”
He shook his head." It's alright. I'll just lie down for a while." Come, come here and lie down. Let me hug you, okay?”
"No, you're injured. You have to be bandaged.”
"No need. As long as you let me hug you, my injuries won't hurt anymore. Come here, let me hug you, okay?"
"But…"
"No buts, come over quickly. Or do you want my injuries to worsen because I can't hold you?”
Chu Fengyi glared at him." Nonsense, how could someone's injuries worsen because of this?”
"Yes, isn't there one now?”He begged, his face filled with pain and anticipation." Feng 'er, I beg you. You can't bear to see me get hurt because of you, worsen my injuries because of you, and die here, right?”
"You!" Chu Fengyi glared at him again. Although she knew that no one in the world would get worse because of this, when a man begged a woman like this, and then ran around like a fool for this woman, doing stupid things, and even getting hurt because of her, which woman in the world could refuse?
Therefore, Chu Fengyi's heart softened. She moved closer to Nangong Wujiu and lay down beside him.
Nangong Wujiu couldn't wait for her to completely lie down. He had already pulled her into his arms, and his burning lips were eagerly searching for her. Finally, he had fulfilled his long-cherished wish and kissed her without any fear.
Chu Fengyi struggled a little at first, but as Nangong Wujiu's kiss deepened, she threw away the reservations in her heart and reached out to hug him, responding to him without reservation.
After a long time, Nangong Wujiu let go of Chu Fengyi in satisfaction, his fingertips still caressing her lips that were swollen from his kisses." Feng 'er, marry me!"”
Chu Fengyi leaned into his arms and nodded shyly.
" But..." Nangong Wujiu paused and hugged Chu Fengyi tightly, looking like he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"But what?"
"However, we have to get past Master first.”
Chu Fengyi was stunned. They still had a master, so they naturally had to report to him. However…
How could she forget?
A shadow appeared on Nangong Wujiu's handsome face. He lowered his head and kissed Chu Fengyi." It's okay. I'm here for everything. No matter what happens, I'll bear it. Moreover, with sincerity, gold and stone could be separated, right? As long as we have the heart, as long as we truly love each other, I believe that Master will definitely agree!”
"Wujiu!" For some reason, Chu Fengyi felt uneasy.
"No! If I say I can't, I mean I can't!"
Xia Jisheng's furious roar came from inside the Dozhai Pavilion. At the same time, it was mixed with the sound of cracking. Clearly, something had been broken.
Nangong Wujiu and Chu Fengyi were both kneeling on the ground, their faces pale. Beside them was Zhuge Rongruo, who had a grave expression, and a few other disciples.
" Master," Nangong Wujiu said seriously," Feng 'er and I are truly in love. Please believe us, Master. Please grant our wish!"”
Xia Jisheng glared at him angrily." True love? You've only known each other for a few days, and you're already in love with each other? Only a ghost would believe you!"
Nangong Wujiu said loudly,"Loving someone has nothing to do with the length of time. It depends on whether it is sincere or not." Master, whether you believe it or not, from the moment I laid eyes on Feng 'er, I knew that she was the only woman I wanted to marry in my life. This feeling has nothing to do with the length of time. I believe that Master should have felt the same.”
Xia Jisheng's anger turned into a smile." You shameless thing, you're actually teaching me! What right do you have to lecture me?"
"Master, this isn't a sermon, it's the truth. I love Feng 'er, I must marry her!”
Xia Jisheng narrowed his eyes and looked at Nangong Wujiu gloomily." I won't allow it!”
"Why not?" Nangong Wujiu asked, unconvinced.”
" Because…" Xia Jisheng opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something. He even glanced at the pale Chu Fengyi, but he did not say anything. "Because you're my disciple, I won't allow it.”
"But at the beginning of the year, Fifth Junior Brother and Seventh Junior Sister also asked Master to marry them. Why did Master allow it? Feng 'er is also your disciple. Why does Master forbid us from falling in love?”
Xia Jisheng glared at Chu Fengyi." I've never acknowledged her as my disciple. Now that she has the audacity to do such a shameful thing with you, I will never acknowledge her as my disciple!"”
When she heard the words " shameless " and " shameful ", Chu Fengyi's body trembled and her eyes widened." Master, I didn't. Wujiu and I are innocent. We did nothing!"”
Xia Jisheng snorted coldly and said in a disdainful tone,"No? If he didn't, would you, the future master of the Phoenix Palace, fall in love with this little bastard in just a few words and a few days, and even say that you want to marry him? Even ghosts wouldn't believe it!"
Nangong Wujiu held Chu Fengyi's hand and looked up at Xia Jisheng fearlessly." Master, although Feng 'er and I love each other and have promised each other our lives, there is absolutely nothing between Feng' er and me. We have never done anything shameful or shameful to our master. Besides, Feng 'er is also a disciple who has performed the ritual of kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times in front of the founder. Why don't you acknowledge her, Master?”
"There's no need to ask why. In any case, I just don't acknowledge her as my disciple! " As for you, you little bastard, if you still think that you're my disciple, then be obedient and leave this girl. Master has a lot of things to teach you in the future. However, if you insist on being with this shameless girl and insist on marrying her, then…unless you don't acknowledge me as your master!”
After Xia Jisheng finished speaking, he shouted to Zhuge Rongruo and the other disciples,"Come with me! Ignore these two shameless people!" After saying that, he turned around and walked inside.
Seeing this, Chu Fengyi almost fainted.
Nangong Wujiu hurriedly reached out and hugged her." Feng 'er, are you alright?”
"I'm fine." Chu Fengyi shook her head, but her frail body was trembling non-stop.
She looked up at Nangong Wujiu." Wujiu, what should we do? Master, he…"
Nangong Wujiu smiled gently." It's alright. Although Master's words are very strict, I know that Master loves me the most. As long as we sincerely beg him here, I believe that he will definitely agree.”
"But he said that he doesn't want to acknowledge me as his disciple.”
"That's just an angry remark. After all, two unmarried men and women have been together for so many days before coming back. If it were you, would you not be angry?”
"No, I believe that there must be another reason why Master is so angry. I must have done something wrong to make Master so angry. Perhaps we shouldn't…"
Hearing Chu Fengyi's timid words, Nangong Wujiu grabbed her shoulders excitedly." Feng 'er, are you going to give up just because Master is angry and refuses to agree to our marriage?"”
"I didn't, but I don't want to go against Master's wishes. To me, a teacher for a day is a father for life. Since I took him as my master, I should serve him with all my heart, be filial to him, and not make him angry. But now, Master is so angry because of what happened between you and me, and he even wants to chase you out. I really…"
"There's no need to care so much. I'm only asking you, do you love me?”
" I..." Chu Fengyi bit her lip and nodded slightly." Of course I love you. Otherwise, why would I be willing to spend so many days with you in the Horseshoe Valley and come back with you to ask for Master's permission?"”
"Since you love me and I love you, what problem can't be solved?”
"But Master…"
"What Master thinks is not something we can decide, but we can use actions to show our sincerity.”
"What do you want to do?"
"We knelt at the door together. On one hand, we confessed our mistakes and apologized to Master. On the other hand, it's also to let Master see our sincerity and ask him to agree to our marriage. What do you think?”
Chu Fengyi nodded." Of course."”
Thus, the two of them knelt on the mud floor in front of Duozhai Xuan. They confessed their sins and hoped that Xia Jisheng would agree to their marriage.
The night passed just like that.
The next day, Chu Fengyi and Nangong Wujiu were still kneeling and did not get up. Xia Jisheng did not pay any attention to them and allowed them to kneel.
On the third day, the weather began to change. It started drizzling early in the morning and the rain became heavier at noon. Bean-sized raindrops fell on Chu Fengyi and Nangong Wujiu like rocks, but they did not move. They knelt on the ground quietly and allowed the wind and rain to hit them.
The rain continued for two days and two nights. The two of them knelt in the rain for two days and two nights without eating, drinking, or sleeping.
On the fifth day, the weather finally cleared up. The sun, which had not shown its face for a long time, peeked out of the clouds and shone on their wet bodies, forming another kind of painful torture.
Nangong Wujiu was still alright. After all, he was young and had practiced martial arts since he was young. The torture of a few days and nights was nothing. However, he was injured and his face was already a little pale after being exposed to the wind, rain, and sun.
As for Chu Fengyi, it was even worse. Although she had practiced martial arts, it had not been long. Although she was usually healthy, how could a healthy girl withstand such torture?
Therefore, Chu Fengyi was trembling all over. Her face was flushed red, her forehead was burning hot, and her chest was heaving up and down as if she was in danger of collapsing at any moment.
Nangong Wujiu's heart ached. He pulled Chu Fengyi into his arms and shouted at Duozhai Xuan anxiously and angrily,""Master, Feng 'er and I have been kneeling here for five days and five nights! If Feng 'er and I weren't truly in love, would we be kneeling here for five days and five nights? Master, are you really so stubborn and cruel that you refuse to agree to our marriage?”
It was quiet inside the Dozhai Pavilion, without the slightest sound.
"Master, Feng 'er has fallen ill!" Nangong Wujiu shouted again. In order to seek her master's forgiveness, she voluntarily knelt here. Now that she was sick, could it be that her master still refused to acknowledge her and forgive her?”
At this moment, Xia Jisheng's old and gloomy voice sounded,""What does her life or death have to do with me? I've already said that I won't acknowledge her as my disciple!”
When Nangong Wujiu heard this, he was instantly enraged. He hugged Chu Fengyi tightly and shouted,""In that case, I won't acknowledge you as my master. From now on, I'm not Yaowang's disciple. I have nothing to do with Yaowang's sect!”
Chu Fengyi turned pale with fright." Wujiu, you can't do this. You can't cut yourself off from the sect for me…"
However, Chu Fengyi had barely finished her sentence when she felt everything spinning in front of her. She grabbed Nangong Wujiu with all her might to wake herself up, but she could not withstand the rain and sun for many days and fainted in Nangong Wujiu's arms.
Nangong Wujiu's expression changed drastically, and he felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife." Feng 'er, Feng' er! Master, Feng 'er has fainted. Master, please come out and take a look. Master, Master…"
Suddenly, a woman's clear voice came from the sky!!
"This kind of narrow-minded person who only has himself in his heart and doesn't care about the lives of others, what's the point of begging him? Besides, haven't you already left the sect and no longer acknowledge him as your master?”
Nangong Wujiu was taken aback. He looked at the beautiful figure in red that floated down from the sky like a goddess." You are?"”
"I'm Feng 'er's mother, the Vermillion Bird Goddess, and the master of the Phoenix Palace in Dunhuang," the woman said. Nangong Wujiu, since you've left the sect, why don't you come to the Feng Palace with Feng 'er? When Feng' er turns eighteen, I'll officiate the marriage for you two. How about that?”#
