"Laugh!
What are you laughing at?! "
Li Chengfeng's embarrassment turned into anger as he walked towards her, reaching out to 'teach' her a lesson. However, as soon as he stretched out his hand, he groaned in pain and his hand fell limply to the side. Fresh blood flowed from his wounds.
Yuehan quickly tore a piece of cloth from her clothes to bandage his wound.
Li Chengfeng studied Yuehan. Her face was pale but her eyes sparkled. Yuehan noticed his gaze and looked up at him. When their eyes met, they were shocked and quickly averted their gazes.
Yuehan's cheeks were slightly red, making her pale face look even more alluring. After Li Chengfeng averted his gaze, he did not know what to say. Both of them felt awkward and intimate. The temperature around them rose.
In the quiet grotto, there seemed to be strands of invisible feelings lingering around the two of them, quietly tying some kind of fetters in each other's hearts.
This bond could not be seen or touched but both of them could feel its presence.
Because whenever they thought of losing this person by their side in the future, their hearts would ache and their eyes would sting.
After Yuehan bandaged Li Chengfeng's wound, she suddenly asked softly, "Young … Young Master, are we going to die here together?"
Suddenly, when she asked this question, Yuehan suddenly felt no fear or worry in her heart. Instead, she felt a tinge of sweetness and joy.
Yes, as long as they could not get out, they would not have to face that painful question. As long as they could not get out, they would not have to face the cruel reality of life. They could hide in this small place, snuggle up to each other, feel each other's warmth, experience each other's tenderness. They would not have to face the unanswerable question.
At this moment, Li Chengfeng finally understood why that Martial Uncle of Hidden Sword Court would hide in this place for fifty years and refuse to leave.
Everyone had their weakest and most cowardly moments. At times like this, reality was always cruel and cold. All they wanted was to run away, hide in a deserted corner, live their own lives and pretend nothing had happened.
Li Chengfeng stared at her quietly, his gaze steady but his gaze grew gentler. He reached out and gently brushed her hair away from her temples. His fingers brushed across her cheeks. Wherever his fingertips touched, it blushed and her skin temperature rose rapidly.
She lowered her head, not daring to look him in the eye. However, he lifted her chin with a finger and lifted her face.
She raised her head, her eyes locked with Li Chengfeng's and could not look away.
It was a handsome face. Yuehan thought that he was more handsome than anyone she had ever seen before, but that was secondary. The most important thing was that she could see tenderness and love in his eyes, without a trace of desire.
As a woman who was once deeply hurt by love, after she turned into a demon, she hated and despised men to the core. She was especially sensitive to men's desires and greed.
Even if she was a suspicious and sensitive thousand-faced demon, at this moment, she believed that he had her in his heart, because she could see her own reflection in his eyes. That figure seemed to ripple in a sweet and gentle warmth, intoxicating one's heart and soul.
Li Chengfeng said gently, "I didn't want you to come but you insisted."
Yuehan instinctively wanted to lower her head but Li Chengfeng tightened his grip and lifted her up again. Their eyes met. She said softly, "I … I was afraid something would happen to you, so … I followed you."
Li Chengfeng stared at her and smiled. "Thank you."
Yuehan's heart raced under Li Chengfeng's gaze, but when she heard his words of thanks, she felt slightly disappointed. However, just as the disappointment crept into her heart, Li Chengfeng grabbed her chin. Then, she felt a heavy breath on her face as his lips gently pressed against hers.
Yuehan's eyes widened in shock. She instinctively wanted to push him away, but when she grabbed his arm, she hesitated. Her eyes widened, but this gentle and warm breath made her tense body soften. The once majestic and famous thousand-faced demon, her well-tempered steel softened at this moment.
Their lips parted.
Li Chengfeng kissed her softly. It felt as fleeting as a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water, yet as eternal as the vicissitudes of time. She stared at him in a daze, subconsciously stroking her red lips.
At this moment, Li Chengfeng no longer thought of Liu Zhixi, who had once deeply moved him and made him infatuated with her. In his eyes, there was only this beautiful, sometimes obedient, sometimes mischievous, sometimes talkative, and sometimes gluttonous servant girl.
He knew that Yuehan was not as simple as she looked, but he could feel that he was in her heart.
Just like all the boys and girls in the world, they had once chased after an unreachable figure of the opposite sex, but time and years would let them meet another person. This person would deeply intrude into their lives, deeply imprinting his figure in their memories, so that their minds could no longer contain the figure of another person.
Yuehan watched as Li Chengfeng leaned forward, his head inching closer to her. Her breathing quickened and her heart raced. She instinctively closed her eyes, as if waiting for something.
However, after a while, she felt someone flick her forehead. It hurt slightly. Her eyes widened as she covered her forehead in embarrassment and anger, glaring at Li Chengfeng.
He smiled. "Don't push your luck!
If you want to kiss me, kiss me when we get back! "
At first, Yuehan was furious but as she listened to his words, her heart skipped a beat. What did he mean?
Was he going out?
Could he still be like before when she was out?
As her thoughts ran wild, Li Chengfeng stood up. After resting for a while to recover some energy, he walked over to the broken sword and dug out half of the blade that was embedded in the stone wall.
After Li Chengfeng dug out the sword, he smiled bitterly. "Do you think this Heaven Splitter Sword is real or fake?"
Yuehan composed herself and collected her thoughts. "I think it's real."
"Why?"
Yuehan said, "People can lie, and so can the sword in your hand. But those rats won't lie.
Their fear of this sword far exceeds that of an elder of Hidden Sword Court.
Plus, this sword was found here at the right time and place. The possibility of it being another sword is very slim. "
Li Chengfeng nodded. "I think so too. But no matter what, this sword is a godly weapon. Why did it break so easily?"
Yuehan looked at the broken sword in Li Chengfeng's hand. "Young Master, don't you think this sword is strange?
Why is it covered in rocks so thick that it looks like a stone stick? "
Li Chengfeng pondered. "Maybe it's because it has been corroded by time for too long?
It hasn't been maintained in this cave for a long time. Maybe all these reasons caused it to become like this?
That's why it's so fragile. Without the protection of magical energy, it breaks easily. "
Yuehan nodded. "Maybe that's the case.
But where did Chao Tianque go with the Heaven Splitter Sword?
Why did he disappear but the sword is still here? "
This mystery puzzled Li Chengfeng and Yuehan. Perhaps only by going back a hundred years and finding Chao Tianque could they find the truth.
"Mm, the most important thing now is … we need to leave this place as soon as possible." Li Chengfeng nodded.
