20demayo Chapter 185
Chapter 185
The sedan chair suddenly retreated dozens of meters. Xue Qingheng's expression hardened, and he leaned forward.
"I'm sorry, it seems I can't give her to you."
Do you think I would believe that?
The woman smiled languidly, gracefully raised her wrist, gently lifted a corner of her veil, and drank a glass of wine. Her posture, visible through the veil, was extremely elegant.
"You know me best, but I really can't give her to you."
"I promised someone I had to bring her back."
If she could, Nalan Jingwen really wanted to kick her. Since she originally wanted to take her away, she even tricked Jingchi into begging her. She was truly a cunning woman.
"I'm really sorry, but you know I never do anything I'm not sure of. Since I'm here, I definitely won't leave empty-handed."
Her sudden seriousness surprised Nalan Jingwen.
What if I say no?
"What if I could get Nangong Shiyu to sit in that position immediately?"
"How about this deal?"
Xue Qingheng simply looked at her, his expression unreadable.
He didn't speak, but Nalan Jingwen spoke first, "Who asked you to save me?"
"you guess?"
She blinked, her voice sweet and charming.
"I can't guess."
"I do not know you, and it is even less likely that anyone around me knows you."
This woman knows Xue Qingheng, can even negotiate with him without the slightest fear, and can so easily suggest that Nangong Shiyu should sit in that position. This shows that she is no ordinary person, but someone of great talent.
She searched her memory but couldn't find anyone who might know the woman.
The woman suddenly burst into laughter, a wild and unrestrained laugh that made her body tremble.
"Take another guess?"
I'll tell you if you guess it.
Nalan Jing remained silent upon hearing her laughter.
"Today I'm not just going to save you, but also to help you remove the obstruction to your Xuan power, so that your power can reach a higher level and you won't have that monthly Xuan power burst and collapse."
Nalan Jingwen rarely showed a shocked expression. This woman seemed to know everything, even this.
Every time she recovered from an injury, she would feel her profound energy increasing, but she could never reach its peak, which made her very uncomfortable and prevented her from breaking through.
Today's battle with Xue Qingheng made her realize the gap between them. She wanted to become stronger and didn't want to experience this feeling of powerlessness again.
The temptation was simply too great, so great that Nalan Jingwen couldn't believe it. Could such a pie really fall from the sky? Or be the kind that could crush her?
But she dared not agree, for the condition of receiving it was to pay a corresponding price, and she was afraid she could not afford it.
This woman is terrifying; every step she takes seems to lure the enemy deeper into her trap.
"You should give me to him instead; I can't accept what you have."
"What if I told you I could let you see Liu Qishan?"
Nalan Jingwen felt tinnitus, couldn't hear what she was saying, and even stopped breathing.
She could ignore the fact that she wanted to help her, but she couldn't ignore those words.
Liu Qishan...
Do you know where Willow Chi Mountain is?
The woman nodded. "How is it?"
"Okay, I promise you."
She had no choice but to gamble, even if it was a scam.
The woman clapped her hands gently and praised, "Not bad."
She turned to Xue Qingheng and said, "How about the conditions I offered? This way you can extricate yourself as soon as possible."
"Anyway, we've found the person, haven't we?"
Nalan Jing couldn't understand their conversation, nor did she want to. All she cared about now was Liu Qishan.
Xue Qingheng pondered for a moment, then nodded. With a flick of her sleeves, the wind rose, and she was gone.
After he left, the woman took out a pill from her bosom and handed it to Nalan Jingwen.
"Eat."
Nalan Jingwen looked down at the pill in her hand and swallowed it without hesitation.
Upon seeing this, the woman smiled and seemed to be in a good mood, though her voice was noticeably weaker and her eyes showed signs of fatigue.
She leaned against Nalan Jingwen, her body supple and boneless, and lazily ordered, "Let's go back."
Nalan Jingwen's expression was strange. Who was the real injured person?
However, he immediately said, "Wait a moment."
The woman opened her eyes and looked at her. Those eyes were truly beautiful, like autumn waters overflowing, rippling with blue waves, making one fall into them without even realizing it.
Nalan Jingwen looked away and gazed at Jingchi kneeling there. He just stared, his expression somber and dejected, like a puppy that had been cruelly abandoned.
His eyes lit up a little when he saw Nalan Jingwen looking over.
"Could you please inform Hongyun and have them take Jinse back to Fengtian?"
With Nangong Jiuyan dead, Qi Lin is in chaos, and they must leave immediately.
"Oh, I forgot about him. He's mine now. Shouldn't you ask me before you treat my man like this?"
Nalan Jingwen turned his head and stared intently at the woman, remaining silent.
The woman got up from her, yawned, and her eyes welled up with tears, as if she was really exhausted. Her voice grew softer and softer.
"Fine, you can borrow it for a bit."
Nalan Jingwen then looked at the mirror pool again, "Is it alright?"
"Subordinate... I obey."
……
The sedan chair moved slowly, the light gauze swaying and ethereal, the hibiscus-scented curtains warm.
As soon as Nalan Jing relaxed, he felt pain all over his body, his consciousness gradually became blurred, and he could no longer hold on and fainted.
She felt as if she were in a fog, her vision blurred. As she walked forward, the fog gradually dissipated, and the scene before her gradually became clear.
She frowned slightly; here…
It's that grassland.
A woman in red lay on the vast grassland, her skirt billowing in the wind, exuding an indescribable sense of ease.
Just as Nalan Jingwen was about to walk over, another red figure appeared out of nowhere. The black hair was draped behind her, and the red clothes looked very similar to those worn by the woman. However, the skirt was swaying, revealing her long, white legs, half-exposing her cleavage.
Nalan Jingwen paused, his pupils contracting slightly.
The man had that red string on his left ankle!
He walked over and sat down next to the woman, carefully placing her head on his lap.
"Thank you, Wen, for coming back with me."
The woman sat up and looked at the horizon. "Since I've taken you in, I should be responsible for you."
A faint sadness appeared on the man's face, yet he still smiled.
"Chenyi understands."
This statement undoubtedly confirmed Nalan Jingwen's conjecture. Watching the two figures from behind, she walked forward uncontrollably, getting closer and closer until she could almost see the woman's face.
Her steps were no longer restrained, and she slowly approached.
As if sensing something, the woman suddenly turned her head to look in her direction, as if she could see through everything and see her.
Nalan Jingwen stood there, stunned, unable to react.
That face...
She looks exactly like her.
……
The scene began to distort and collapse, but Nalan Jingwen did not move. He simply stood there, letting the darkness engulf him.
A pair of gentle yet strong hands lifted her up, soothing all her unease and anxiety.
So familiar, so gentle, like a dream...
Nalan Jingwen slowly opened his eyes to an unfamiliar bed ceiling.
"woke up?"
She suddenly froze, a look of shock on her face, and turned her head slightly, her lips moving slightly.
He choked up as soon as he spoke.
“Desolate Mountain…”
