Capítulo 1289: Chapter 835: Fine Wine (Part 2)
She stared blankly at Baili An, her small hand still resting on his chest, her fingertips tinged with a rosy warmth entwining a strand of the young man’s hair, black and white, like snow entangled with ink.
The two of them gazed at each other for a long, long ti…
Baili An couldn’t lie still anymore; his cheeks began to flush and burn, and his gaze started to evade.
However, Yin Baishuang’s gaze remained unusually calm, so calm that even she found it inconceivable.
Perhaps all the girlish shyness had been expended when she was fully conscious last night; at this mont, surprisingly, she felt as calm as still water, and instead found his current appearance quite amusing.
She rembered sothing and then felt a bit angry.
Slowly, she squinted her newly opened eyes, her gaze sowhat dangerous: “An engagent with the Taixuan Sect? Hmm?”
Baili An’s throat went dry, and his face was filled with embarrassnt.
“Do you know where I found you?”
Baili An turned his head aside, not daring to et her eyes.
Her slender arm moved slightly, her palm cupping his cheek, forcing his head back to face her.
“Baili An, listen carefully, I’ll only say this once, so you must rember it well.”
She looked at him, warmth and relief mixed with fear reflected in her eyes, she earnestly said: “I like you…”
Baili An was stunned, seemingly shaken to the core by this statent.
“So when you said you were engaged, I was very angry and sad. But later, I realized you were lying to , which made even angrier and more scared.”
“So in the future… do not deceive again, and absolutely no engagents with other won! Otherwise, I will never forgive you for the rest of my life.”
Seeing her angry expression, Baili An was bewildered and confused, and after a silent mont.
The confusion disappeared from his eyes, the bewildernt suppressed, he nodded heavily and seriously said: “I understand.”
Yin Baishuang received the answer she wanted, and she happily squinted her eyes and laughed.
……
Baili An got up and dressed, picking up her clothes scattered aside, handing them to her with his back turned.
Yin Baishuang dressed under the cloth blanket and said “Alright,” and only then did Baili An turn around to lift the blanket.
She exclaid, subconsciously clutching the blanket tightly: “Ah! What are you doing?”
Baili An found it very strange; just before, when she was facing him without clothing, she didn’t seem very shy.
How co now that she’s dressed, she’s beco so sensitive?
He chuckled and said: “Last night during the rain, you carried to this ancient temple, you must have been drenched, your leg is injured, and with the rainwater, I fear the wound will worsen, let see the injury on your leg.”
With his words, the forgotten wound indeed began to throb with pain, and she oh’d, instinctively stretching out her injured leg.
Baili An cupped her ankle, gently placing her calf on his own thigh.
Seeing the ghastly wound on her leg, his expression imdiately darkened.
“Sure enough, the injury has worsened…”
The dicine applied for her last night had been washed away by the rain, and the cloth tied to the wound had sohow been loosened or lost.
The bite wound on the leg had deteriorated severely.
Baili An first took out a jug of earthen liquor to cleanse her wound, then retrieved the characteristic Sang Huai Pill of the Tianxi Sword Sect, crushed it into powder, and applied it to her wound, tearing a strip from his clothes to bandage it properly.
His outer garnt had already been removed at the inn, leaving only a thin layer, and now, after tearing it back and forth twice, calling it tattered would not be an exaggeration.
“You cannot delay this injury any longer, the wound has been exposed to water and shows signs of inflammation, I cannot guarantee the Sang Huai Pill will be entirely effective for your leg wound, this is within Taixuan Sect’s territory, I’ll take you up the mountain to seek other dication for treatnt.”
Yin Baishuang’s eyes lit up as she looked at the newly opened jug of earthen liquor: “You still have liquor in your storage bag, I thought you didn’t drink?”
Baili An smiled and said: “The innkeeper said this is the famous local liquor, so he gave a few jugs, seeing that you like to drink, I kept it.”
Yin Baishuang was stunned, then secretly delighted, smiling to herself.
This silly boy, talking about parting ways last night, yet he still kept liquor for her.
Doesn’t this subconsciously an he wants to stay with her all along?
She picked up the wine jar and took a sip: “It’s good wine.”
Just as she was about to take another sip, Baili An snatched the wine jar: “Your leg is injured, you shouldn’t drink too much. I will save this mud wine for you, and you can have it once you’re healed.”
Yin Baishuang beca very obedient and nodded in agreent.
Having dissolved the ice wall, Baili An carried her as they turned back, heading towards the mountain path.
This mountain is called Nanze Mountain, and its fa rivals that of Bai Tuo Mountain of the Xijian Sect.
It’s an ancient renowned mountain, recruiting disciples every ten years, attracting countless youths from the mortal world, eagerly climbing the mountain to register for trials.
However, this year is clearly not the recruitnt season, so even during daylight, the place remains exceptionally quiet.
At midnight, he was deeply tornted by the Hundred Netherworld Pill, rushing unconsciously, not paying attention to the scenery of Nanze Mountain along the way.
Now with Yin Baishuang in his arms at the mountain’s base, he looked up at the giant and magnificent extending peaks, the strange stone temples, and the deep and tranquil waters, woods, and palaces.
Among these mountains, one stood exceptionally tall, like a pillar supporting the sky, faintly visible through the clouds and mountains, standing majestically amidst the misty ancient palaces.
And the cave they left last night was the most inconspicuous among the group of mountains.
Baili An knew they had a long way to go and dared not delay, hastening his steps along the closest path cleared by Yin Baishuang’s forceful sword movents.
Looking at the broken trees and scattered grass on both sides, his heart ward slightly.
This scene easily revealed how anxious and impatient she must have been while searching for him.
Suddenly, the arm hooked around his neck tightened.
Baili An’s eyes flickered, but he did not stop; he lowered his head and asked, “What’s wrong?”
He faintly heard the person behind speak gloomily: “You still haven’t answered …”
Baili An paused slightly: “Answered what?”
Yin Baishuang, a bit annoyed, punched his shoulder and remained silent for a while before murmuring in a barely audible voice: “I said I like you…but you haven’t told if you like or not…”
Baili An cursed himself for being dense and was about to speak when his neck tightened again.
Yin Baishuang forcibly hooked his neck, buried her head in his shoulder, and said in muffled tones: “I don’t care whether you like or not, since I like you, you’re mine. Besides, you’ve seen my body, don’t think you can easily shake off.”
The tone was like a bossy child, full of playful stubbornness.
Baili An smiled helplessly and said: “By the pond, there are cattails and lotuses, a beautiful person lants what to do about it, unable to sleep or rest, tears streaming.”
He paused his gaze, picked a small, unremarkable flower by the roadside, and placed it in her hair with a gentle look that was different than before, carrying a sense of responsibility and determination.
“To prevent sleepless nights and tears … Miss, won’t you pity and marry ?”
Yin Baishuang suddenly raised her head, her charming face flushed red like blood, the previous bossiness disappeared, now she seed like a teased young girl, cute and lovable.
A shy maiden, most captivating.
Baili An’s eyes flickered, he leaned down and gently placed a warm kiss on her cheek.
Yin Baishuang received the answer she most desired, indeed this answer was even better than she had anticipated.
Her jade-like earlobes turned red, feeling the spot where the kiss grazed burn up instantly, her heartbeat racing, yet she struggled to maintain her composure, murmuring softly: “Last night you ntioned having a marriage agreent with a girl from Taixuan Sect.”
Baili An laughed: “Since you ca to find , you naturally guessed I was deceiving you.”
Yin Baishuang was endlessly joyful inside but continued pretending to be calm, murmuring: “Coward, only daring to kiss the face, last night I kissed you on the lips while you were asleep.”
She pushed her luck, mimicking him by telling a lie to get him to kiss her lips.
Baili An was not fooled, he laughed lightly: “Always bragging.”
Yin Baishuang imdiately got fueled, cursing this bookworm inside, then tugged lightly on his collar, leaning forward, and unceremoniously bit his lips, but quickly moved away.
She panted, her face as red as a peach: “See, I wasn’t bragging, right?”
Baili An pursed his lips and smiled at her: “Good wine.”
Yin Baishuang paused: “What?”
Baili An quickened his steps, smiling with pursed lips: “Mud wine, really lives up to its na, sweet and refreshing, intoxicating.”
