Chapter 307
Chapter 307
Chi Chenyi's dark eyes darted around, his expression cunning, clearly indicating that he had already come up with a plan.
"They all say that their greatest wish, besides being able to stay with their loved one, is for their loved one to be safe and sound. So they give their loved one a bracelet made of red string to pray for their safety."
"I also want a bracelet made of red string."
"Wen, will you give me a ride?"
The woman paused in stroking his head, surprised that the gift he wanted was so simple.
Chi Chenyi looked up at her, his eyes filled with a surging love, his heart pounding erratically, and he tried his best to suppress the slight trembling of his fingertips due to nervousness.
What he didn't say was that the red string bracelet he gave her also had another meaning in the world: it was given to the other person when they were engaged, representing mutual affection, constant understanding and companionship, and unwavering commitment through life and death.
Chi Chenyi rarely asked her for anything, and besides, this wasn't a difficult thing, so she nodded in agreement.
Chi Chenyi's eyes sparkled with joy, his smile as bright as a flower. He then transformed back into his original form, snuggling into the woman's arms and affectionately nuzzling her palm.
Nalan Jingwen stood quietly to the side, gazing at the man and the fox, his expression calm, lost in thought.
Chi Chenyi asked her for a red string, so she personally wove one for him, but instead of a bracelet, she wove an anklet.
At that time, she had her own thoughts. The bracelet was indeed ambiguous, and how could she not understand Chi Chenyi's little schemes? Moreover, if he got the bracelet, he would definitely wear it everywhere and show it off, especially in front of Xingxiu.
Xingxiu didn't like him to begin with, and now he'll probably come to her again and say things like, "Don't favor one person exclusively." She likes peace and quiet and doesn't want to waste so much time on one thing.
In addition, giving an anklet also carries the meaning of restraint and warning, hoping that he will always stay obediently by her side and not have any other delusions.
Making anklets is actually not difficult and doesn't take long, but since I had never made anything myself before, the first one I made was really a disaster. I originally wanted to throw it away and make another one, but Chi Chenyi saw it and insisted on having that one.
He handled it as if it were a rare treasure, stroking it very carefully, his eyes brimming with undisguised joy and delight.
Seeing his appearance, the woman couldn't help but say, "This one failed, just throw it away."
Chi Chenyi shook his head, holding the red rope and hiding it in his bosom.
"I won't throw it away! Ah Wen didn't fail! This red string is beautiful, I like it very much!"
pretty?
The woman couldn't help but take another look at the rather 'horrible' red rope, and wondered if it could really be called beautiful...
Seeing that she didn't believe him, Chi Chenyi repeated himself again, his eyes resolute.
"I love so much!"
He liked anything she gave him.
The woman slowly smiled faintly.
"As long as you like it."
Chi Chenyi fondled the red rope, as if it still held her warmth. Her heart swelled up as if it were soaking in water, and something seemed to take root and sprout at that moment.
so good.
If only things could stay like this forever.
Seeing his delighted expression, the woman took his hand and pulled him to sit beside her, saying, "Give it to me."
A look of doubt appeared in Chi Chenyi's eyes. He tentatively handed her the red rope. After the woman took it, she placed his leg on her own, took off his shoes, and tied the red rope around his fair and smooth ankle.
The combination of red and white makes the originally unsightly red rope look more and more pleasing to the eye.
"You're a perfect match."
Chi Chenyi was clearly taken aback. He stared blankly at the bright red rope on his ankle, and for some reason, his heart suddenly trembled.
If this rope is her restraint on him, becoming an unbreakable bond between them, then he should be the one who is happiest.
It was never her who was restricting him; it was always his own choice.
Even if it wasn't a red rope, even if it were an iron chain forged from millennia-old black iron, he would willingly put himself in shackles without her saying so.
As long as I can be by her side, that's enough.
It doesn't matter what method or identity you use.
it's OK.
"Why are you crying?"
A pair of warm hands touched his cheeks, gently wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes. Chi Chenyi looked up and suddenly realized that he could no longer see her face clearly.
He suddenly broke into a bright smile, raised his hand to cover the back of her hand, and gently rubbed his cheek against her palm.
"Ah Wen cares about me too, right?"
Otherwise, she wouldn't have bound him with a red rope, forcing him to stay by her side.
The woman simply looked at him without saying a word.
When she brought Chi Chenyi back to the Divine Realm, it was not only because she felt that he was destined to be with her, but also because she was acting on her own whims.
However, after a thousand years of being together, she had grown accustomed to him being by her side, a presence that no one else could replace.
and so……
There's nothing wrong with that; I'll just stay by her side.
To share these boundless years with her.
Chi Chenyi never expected an answer from her, and this time was no exception.
This time, however, he didn't revert to his original form. Instead, he threw himself into the woman's arms, wrapped his arms tightly around her waist, and whispered, trembling, "I love you."
I love you.
Therefore, everything you have given me is a blessing.
……
Nalan Jingwen sat outside the palace, his mind unable to calm down for a long time. Chi Chenyi's love had always been passionate and bold. He never hid his feelings and always presented himself to her nakedly and without reservation.
But when he later realized that he had been abandoned without mercy, the first person to be burned by that incredibly ardent love was himself.
That's why he was in so much pain, hated her so much, hated her for being so resolute and refusing to even look at him, and hated himself as well. His obsession grew deeper and deeper until, in the end, even he couldn't tell whether he loved or hated her.
But love can give rise to hate.
Love can drive people mad.
Love is what causes such torment.
He was just suffering too much from loving her.
Nalan Jingwen clutched her heart, where a dull, aching pain throbbed. She had never felt this way before when she faced Chi Chenyi's love directly, perhaps because she was naturally indifferent and had little desire.
Now, her emotions and desires are magnified, and she sees many things she had never noticed before, and discovers that Chi Chenyi's love is so turbulent and passionate.
She stood up, exhaled, and looked into the distance, her expression unreadable.
……
In fact, Chi Chenyi did not have much malice towards mortals at the beginning, as can be seen from his frequent visits to the human world.
Later, people heard from somewhere that eating fox demon flesh could grant immortality, and some even said that eating a fox demon with profound Taoist cultivation could lead to becoming an immortal in one fell swoop. As the story spread, it became more and more mysterious, attracting countless people.
No one doesn't want to live forever, and no one doesn't want to become an immortal.
Now that there's a ready-made method in front of us, we should give it a try, whether it's true or not.
