Chapter 678: The Demon Lord's Little White Flower Bride vs. the Ascetic Monk Born with Sword Bo
Yan Ze rarely has such an opportunity to see Yin Xiuyu's face clearly.
He pulled his falling shirt towards her, but his eyes did not move at all.
His gaze slid down from her eyebrows and looked her over and over. His clear eyes could only accommodate her at this moment, and his expression was focused and affectionate.
Yin Xiuyu has a very unique temperament, clean and gentle. Her face cannot be called stunning, but it makes people feel comfortable when looking at it.
It's like a camellia after the rain, sparkling and charming, with a faint fragrance that will not dissipate in the rain, refreshing the heart.
It cannot be said that camellia is the most beautiful among all flowers.
After all, everyone has different preferences and aesthetics, so it is difficult to decide which flower is the most beautiful.
But one thing is certain: this camellia has taken root in his heart and cannot be uprooted.
"Ugh... cold."
The coolness at night is always pervasive. It comes from all directions, sneaks in through all kinds of gaps, and penetrates into people's skin.
The bonfire had been burning for a long time, and the heat it could bring became less and less. Yin Xiuyu fell asleep, frowned, and her body involuntarily moved towards the heat beside her.
After Yan Ze's body recovered ahead of time, his limbs were no longer stiff. As a cultivator who practiced swordsmanship, his body was naturally warm.
When his neck was touched by a slightly cool cheek, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Even though he knew that this action was just out of physical need and did not mean any affection, he still couldn't help but feel happy about this closeness.
He carefully picked up the clothes that had been lifted off by her rubbing movements, and wrapped her whole body carefully, leaving no corner untouched.
Almost cautiously, he reached out his hand, put his arm around her shoulders through her coat, and let her rest her head on his shoulder.
This action can not only ensure that Yin Xiuyu can absorb warmth from him, but also give her a place to lean on when she falls asleep, making her sleep more comfortably.
Every movement he made was extremely careful, as if he was afraid of disturbing her rest.
Fortunately, Yin Xiuyu was not disturbed. With her head resting on the warm shoulder, she slept more peacefully, and even a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Yan Ze just looked at her.
Looking at her eyelashes drooping like a resting butterfly, looking at her peaceful sleeping face, looking at the smile on the corners of her mouth, it was as if a world of changes had happened in an instant.
He had no desire to sleep and spent the whole night watching like this.
Until a hint of pale sky appeared, the glow of the sunset began to radiate light, the sun gradually rose, and the quiet and warm night was about to pass.
Yan Ze then stood up, settled Yin Xiuyu in advance, and prepared to go out hunting to prepare some breakfast.
Before leaving, he felt reluctant to let her go as he thought about how they might end up at loggerheads if she got up again.
He stood there thinking for a while, and his eyes became guilty.
After making sure that Yin Xiuyu was still sleeping soundly, he half-knelt on one knee on the ground and gave her a kiss on the forehead as gentle as a cloud passing by.
He loved her, desired her, and… cherished her.
-
Yan Ze stayed outside with Yin Xiuyu for about seven or eight days.
He didn't have a definite destination, and his only purpose was to avoid Mu Li's search and capture.
Therefore, Yan Ze was in a very relaxed state of mind, taking Yin Xiuyu to different towns as if he was traveling.
During the day, Yin Xiuyu went to experience the local customs and culture, leaving the small village where she lived and the luxurious palace of the demon world. For the first time, she discovered that the outside world was so lively.
In the prosperous town, the tall restaurants were ingeniously designed. At night, the lanterns were lit up layer by layer, and the lights were bright and dazzling, so beautiful that she couldn't close her eyes.
In the not-so-bustling town, there is a quiet bridge and flowing water, and a few children chasing and playing with bamboo helicopters at the entrance of the alley, which is another kind of beautiful scenery.
When resting at night, in order to reduce the risk of exposure, Yan Ze would not choose to live in densely populated towns.
Sometimes they sleep outdoors, and sometimes they stay in the homes of farmers nearby where there are fewer people.
However, not all farmers have extra rooms, and in most cases they still sleep outdoors.
But with the experience of the first night, Yan Ze consciously changed the living environment for the next night.
He got rid of the demon for a merchant family and received a good reward.
The money was used to buy Yin Xiuyu several sets of clothes so that she could replace her bright red wedding dress.
I also bought a thin blanket. It’s not very thick, but it’s enough to keep people from feeling cold on summer nights.
At night, Yan Ze took off his coat and placed it on the ground or on a large tree stump to block out the cool air from below, then covered it with a thin blanket to keep the campfire burning. Even in the wild, he would not feel cold and uncomfortable.
Yan Ze was a little too considerate. Except for his request to go find Miao Li, which was not approved, he agreed to all the other requests made by Yin Xiuyu.
But Yin Xiuyu still didn't understand what he wanted to do.
He neither took her away from the demon world and sent her back to the human world for resettlement, nor did he force her to accept it because of the love in his heart.
If someone who didn't know the inside story, they might think they were just friends traveling together.
But Yin Xiuyu had to admit that she was happier traveling around like this than when Ali had something to do and she was left alone in the strange demon world.
Gradually, as they got along, the tense relationship that was forced away on their wedding day began to show some signs of reconciliation.
On the ninth day after leaving the Demon Realm, Yan Ze chose a quiet cave to rest that night.
He had cleared away the dead branches and leaves inside in advance, lit a bonfire as usual, and made a temporary bed with hay and a clean coat in a sheltered place on the inside.
Comparing it to the resting place of a large stone that he had casually moved, Yin Xiuyu could easily see why he was treated specially.
She sat down next to the "little bed", staring straight at the orange-red flames with mixed feelings.
After spending so many days together, Yin Xiuyu confirmed his true feelings for her.
The way he expressed his liking was different from Ali's.
Ali is a straightforward person who says whatever he thinks. He often expresses his love with intimate and bold words and actions.
Yan Ze is different. Perhaps due to the teachings he received in the sect, he is introverted and taciturn.
I like her, but I am extremely unfamiliar with her in terms of emotions. I can only express my love secretly through caring actions.
Yin Xiuyu saw all this silent care and love.
She was not a heartless person and she saw Yan Ze's efforts.
She couldn't accept this relationship, but because of this, she hoped that he and Ali wouldn't end up hurting each other because of her.
Thinking of this, Yin Xiuyu called Yan Ze who was about to go out to get her some clean water.
"Mr. Yan, let's talk."
