Chapter 2354 - 2354 Don't Wait

2354 Don’t Wait

Xiao Ba was naturally born pretty and was always picky in what she used and wore because they were always the best. Even her shoes were also very intricate and glamorous; it had a pattern she personally embroidered, and many colorful crushed beads and gems on it.

Under the light, it flickered. When the wind moved, it made rustling sounds.

But at this moment, this shoe landed on an ice mountain.

Hua Shuangshuang silently averted his gaze.

This scene was so pretty that he did not dare look at it.

“Ahem, I recall that I still have something on. You can do your own things.” Then, he agilely returned to the room.

Bang!

The door closed.

Jian Fengchi stiffly dragged his body and walked back. “Um… I’ll go back to the room and c-clean… You can continue talking…”

The moment he took a step out, a gust of cold wind attacked him!

Swoosh!

A bright and sharp longsword was already displayed before him!

He slowly turned his head and looked at Yan Qing. “Brother—”

“If you don’t want your tongue, I can help you.” Yan Qing spoke, and his voice was so cold as if it was filled with shards!

Jian Fengchi immediately covered his mouth. “I promise I won’t do it again!”

Yan Qing then put away his sword.

Jian Fengchi heaved a sigh of relief. Almost! That sword was about to directly shave off my handsome head!

Even though he was used to causing a scene with the Thirteen Yue Guards, Yan Qing was Rong Xiu’s person. He did not dare offend Yan Qing at all because he really could not do anything to him!

The strong desire to live forced Jian Fengchi to go against the current and return to the land of smokes. Compared to Yan Qing touching his neck, he would rather suffocate to death.

His figure quickly disappeared into the black fumes, and one could faintly hear coughs.

The area was finally left with Yan Qing and Xiao Ba only.

Welcoming Yan Qing’s gaze, Xiao Ba looked embarrassed for once. She hid her bare foot and coughed. “Lord Yan Qing, c-can you return me my shoe?”

If it were a normal shoe, she could just throw it away and not want it. However, she really liked this pair!

She spent so much effort on this treasure, so how could she just throw it away!?

Yan Qing walked over.

Xiao Ba instantly became nervous. Is Yan Qing planning to take action? Who wouldn’t be angry if a shoe was thrown at them? However, I didn’t do it on purpose. It should be fine if we talk properly, right?

Just when Xiao Ba was thinking about these, Yan Qing arrived before her.

He had a very clear aura around him, with a sword in his shands. His other hand held the intricate shoes, and it looked very out of place.

Xiao Ba’s hand that was holding the door tightened unwittingly as she carefully sized Yan Qing up, wanting to see something from his face.

It was a pity he still had a face like an ice mountain without any expression at all. It was really hard for others to guess.

Then—

Yan Qing passed the shoe over.

Xiao Ba did not take it.

She pitifully stretched out her hand. “My hand is dirty, and I can’t touch the shoe. If not, it’ll be dirtied.”

Yan Qing looked down and scanned her soft and thin hand.

The finger that was white like jade was indeed stained with messy red.

He paused and bent down.

“Yan Qing—”

Xiao Ba found it strange when she suddenly heard him softly say, “Pass me your foot.”

Xiao Ba was dazed and instinctively stretched out her bare foot. Then, a burning palm touched her ankle.

Xiao Ba’s first reaction was to retract her foot, but Yan Qing used a lot of force, and she could not struggle free.

She moved twice, but there was not much use

“Don’t move,” said Yan Qing.

Xiao Ba instantly didn’t dare to move as she lowered her head.

Yan Qing was squatting in front of her, helping her… wear shoes.

She blinked, and her face seemed to burn for some reason.

Her shoes were easy to wear. Yan Qing quickly helped her wear it and stood up.

The two of them were standing very close to each other. As he suddenly stood up, Xiao Ba instantly felt a sense of suppression overwhelming her.

She moved half a step back.

Yan Qing pressed his thin lips against each other slightly. “Sorry if I offended you.”

Xiao Ba hurriedly waved her hands. “No, no, I should thank you.”

Yan Qing lightly nodded, and his face was still as calm as usual. Without saying anything further, he turned around to leave.

Xiao Ba looked at his back view and closed the door. With her back against the door, she covered her chest and lightly breathed.

On the other side, after Yan Qing turned into the corridor, he suddenly stopped. He closed his eyes and spat out.

…

Zhen Bao Pavilion, second floor.

Rays of lights spun before Chu Liuyue. She stared at it closely and outlined her last stroke with focus.

Buzz—

The last Xuan formation in the Li Fire Xuan Painting was finally replicated completely by her!

Seeing the perfect Xuan formation before her, her lips curled up into a smile of satisfaction. “It’s finally over…”

During this period of time, she had always been here and finished all of it without resting!

She closed her eyes for a while. Then, she placed the two volumes of the Li Fire Xuan Painting back into the box before she stood up.

She opened the door, where Ming Shu was waiting outside.

“Madam, you finally came out!” Ming Shu was so agitated that tears welled up in his eyes.

God knew how long he had waited!

In the beginning, he occasionally came to take a look. But as time passed, he became increasingly worried about the situation inside and swiftly waited here the whole time.

Luckily… she finally came out!

Seeing Ming Shu’s elated and emotional behavior, Chu Liuyue couldn’t help but laugh and pass the box over. “Master Ming, I told you that you don’t have to stand guard here. I’ll naturally come out when I finish replicating the Xuan formations.”

Ming Shu hurriedly took the box. Hearing Chu Liuyue’s words, he realized something, and his face was shocked. “Y-you really—”

Chu Liuyue smiled. “Master Ming Shu, you can check it personally.”

Ming Shu gulped with difficulty, and his hands trembled as they opened the box. It wasn’t that he did not trust Chu Liuyue, but this matter… was too unbelievable!

Ming Shu took out the two books Chu Liuyue had replicated and looked at them closely.

With every page he flipped, he became even more shocked. At the end, he was filled with astonishment and could not speak for a long time.

All… She actually replicated all of them! How long did she take?!

Chu Liuyue lightly laughed and said, “Master Ming Shu, if there’s no problem, I’ll leave first.”

Ming Shu hurriedly made way and said, “Madam, you spent so much effort. You should go back and rest.”

Chu Liuyue’s lips curled up slightly as she shook her head. “Master Ming Shu, you’ve misunderstood. I’m not planning to go back and rest.”

“Then, you—”

“I’m going to the Star Path.”

The few brief words caused Ming Shu to be taken aback! “You want to walk the Star Path and enter the Fantasy Divine Hall?”

Chu Liuyue smiled and nodded. “Yes.”

She had waited too long previously. Now, she no longer wanted to wait.
