Chapter 847: Chapter 847: Enchanting Little Fox Monster vs. Justice-Obsessed Female Taoist (Part 23)
Yuan Xiu didn’t know what the little fox benefactor wanted to do and closed his eyes.
Then, he felt his arms were suddenly empty. His fingers curled slightly, as if they were a bit unaccustomed.
“Alright, Yuan Xiu, you can open your eyes now.”
He opened his eyes, and still before him was the dim pavilion. But where was the little fox benefactor?
“I’m over here.” A soft voice came from behind him.
Something stirred in Yuan Xiu’s heart, sensing something was amiss. He turned around, and his eyes widened abruptly.
Amidst the night breeze and the backdrop of a pond full of lotus flowers, stood a beauty, holding a lantern and smiling.
The night wind lifted her flimsy attire, as if, in the next moment, she would drift away with the wind.
At this moment, the beauty was smiling brightly at him: “Handsome young gentleman, I hold a lantern in my hand. Would you care to admire it with me?”
In her hand, there was indeed a lantern, though he didn’t know when she had taken it.
Yuan Xiu looked at the woman before him, who was beautiful beyond the mortal realm, and only felt that some emptiness in his heart was quietly filled.
He slowly revealed a smile: “To receive the favor of a benefactress, this humble monk is truly honored.”
He stepped forward slowly and reached out to take the lantern that was swaying slightly in the night breeze.
Gu Shengyin raised her eyes and gave him a side glance: “Humble monk? Are you really planning to become a monk?”
Yuan Xiu shook his head and laughed: “Habits formed over many years aren’t easily changed.”
He looked at Gu Shengyin beside him with some delight and curiosity: Was the one his master mentioned, the person he was deeply in love with through countless reincarnations, the very same as Benefactor Qing Bo?
No wonder, seeing her just once made his heart feel a boundless intimacy.
Suddenly, a fragrant breeze approached, and Yuan Xiu felt a soft warmth coming close to his chest.
The woman of unparalleled beauty was very close to him, and whispered softly in his ear: “Yuan Xiu, did you accept my lantern because of this face?”
No matter how calm Yuan Xiu’s heart was, he had never experienced such an ordeal. Naturally, the tips of his ears were slightly reddened by her warm breath.
He said softly: “Benefactor Qing Bo, please do not speak. You must know that form is emptiness…”
Gu Shengyin chuckled secretly in her heart, leaning even closer, their bodies almost touching. She sensitively noticed the other party’s stiffness.
The desire to tease him grew stronger, and she said somewhat dissatisfiedly: “There were so many girls on the street giving you lanterns, and you didn’t accept any. But I’m more beautiful than them, so you accepted mine. If that isn’t for my beauty, what else could it be?”
Yuan Xiu shook his head again: “Benefactor Qing Bo, you are different from them.” Content originally comes from novelꜰire.net
Gu Shengyin pressed on: “How am I different?”
Yuan Xiu paused for a moment, then suddenly had an insight and examined her closely.
Indeed, he saw a hint of sincerity in her seemingly casual actions.
He seemed to understand something, and a previously unsettled heart suddenly calmed down.
“To this humble monk, they were merely lovely bones; while Benefactor Qing Bo, to this humble monk, is the only splash of color in the spirit platform.”
On Gu Shengyin’s jade-like face, a faint blush appeared.
This monk, even when speaking sweet words, does so with such seriousness.
And Yuan Xiu suddenly smiled. He gently stretched out his other free hand and grasped Gu Shengyin’s hand.
“Master once said that I bear the seeds of emotion from countless lives and have a lover whom I am deeply in love with. Yuan Xiu considers himself fortunate, as he seems to have found this person.”
