Chapter 156: Spring Breeze and Pear Snow Intoxicate the Soul

It is already the end of the third month; the pear blossoms in the courtyard of Xianyun Abode are in full bloom. A gust of wind blows by, and petals drift down like snow, truly beautiful.

Long Qi sits on a stone stool under the pear tree, lost in thought as he watches the petals landing on the stone table from time to time.

Ever since Lingxiang returned from the Kunwu Sect, she has been a bit different. The very next day, she moved to Qiuyun Peak without a word, and who knows what happened. This silly girl is really something; even if she isn't as clever as she thinks, if there is something she cannot figure out, she could just talk to him about it. After all, they have already exchanged tokens of affection, haven't they...

At the thought of this, Long Qi takes the Clear Wind Jade Flute out from the painting. Looking at the blowhole, his face cannot help but flush—this was blown by Lingxiang...

Just as Long Qi is dazed, he sees Lingxiang rushing back. She seems not to see him at all, hurrying into the room and then rushing back out, holding that bamboo whistle in her hand, blowing it fiercely toward the outside of the courtyard. Yet, after blowing for a long while, no sound is heard, which is truly strange.

Mentioning this bamboo whistle, one must go back to the day of the Shangyuan Festival.

Regarding the rat demon incident at Youran Abode during the Shangyuan Festival, Alv had once sent a small yellow weasel to notify Lingxiang. At that time, Lingxiang brought it back to Xianyun Abode, feeding it Pills and teaching it human speech. It had already attained wisdom and Spirit Communication, and now it even possesses demonic power.

Although it cannot compare to those like Alv who have received offerings, it is still quite good. After all, this small yellow weasel is still young; given time, who is to say it might not become a great demon.

It is just that Lingxiang does not usually keep it confined in Xianyun Abode, but instead orders it to go into the mountains to cultivate and experience the ways of nature, so it is rarely seen in Xianyun Abode.

In Lingxiang's words, since the Dao follows nature, then let it begin naturally. Lingxiang even specially gave it the name Adao, hoping it would attain the Dao early.

But now that the disciples are about to descend the mountain for training, Zhao Wuyang, as the son of the Guyang City Lord, must certainly return to the City Lord Mansion to pay a visit, yet Alv does not know of this matter.

With Alv's cultivation, deceiving City Lord Zhao might be possible, but Zhao Wuyang has already entered the Dao. It is said he is now at the end of Qi Refining and has undergone tempering by Qianyuan Zhenren; furthermore, he has the Ancient Firmament residing within him. If things go poorly, he might see through it.

At this critical juncture of breaking through his realm, if he were to learn that his mother had long since passed away and had been possessed by a yellow weasel demon, he might well plant a heart demon.

Although he has Ajin watching over him, it is better to have two plans ready.

Thus, Lingxiang prepared to have Adao go and inform Alv first, so that its grandmother could prepare. If there is anything she does not know, she could ask City Lord Zhao in advance, right?

This bamboo whistle was snatched by Lingxiang from Zhuzhang Laoren when she last went to the Ancient Bamboo Forest. It has already been enchanted with Witchcraft, and only Lingxiang and Adao can hear it.

So the current situation is that Long Qi stares at Lingxiang, who is puffing her cheeks and blowing the bamboo whistle, wondering in his heart if she is...

If she is stupid...

So Long Qi, having been stunned for only a moment, hurriedly gets up and tugs at Lingxiang's sleeve, wanting to see what is wrong with her, but...

Lingxiang has been thinking about things in her heart and has not paid attention to the situation in the courtyard since she entered. She used force to blow the bamboo whistle, fearing Adao would not hear it. Now, with Long Qi's tug, she is startled and suddenly releases her strength, her vision darkening as she sways and is about to collapse.

Seeing this, Long Qi hurriedly reaches out to wrap his arms around her waist, catching the backward-falling Lingxiang.

The two are now in a position of one holding and one falling, pressed extremely close. When Lingxiang opens her eyes after a bout of dizziness, what she sees is Long Qi's face with his brows slightly furrowed.

At this moment, a warm breeze blows by, causing the pear tree to rustle. Suddenly, petals scatter like snow, landing in Long Qi's hair and brushing across Lingxiang's face, soft and ticklish.

Looking closely, Long Qi is actually quite good-looking!

Lingxiang thinks this, and is so lost in thought that she completely forgets their current posture.

Long Qi, holding Lingxiang, was originally worried about whether her body was unwell, but that warm breeze seems to blow away his worries. Looking at Lingxiang in his arms, he suddenly thinks of the Clear Wind Jade Flute—that flute was blown by Lingxiang, by these very small, rosy lips of Lingxiang.

Thinking this, Long Qi slowly lowers his head, slowly approaches Lingxiang, and slowly presses against her lips.

So soft, so sweet...

Lingxiang also seems to be immersed in a gentleness, her body like scattered petals, spinning and drifting with the wind, not knowing where it will drift, as if she were drunk.

However, just as the two are lost in each other, several heavy coughs suddenly sound, though the sound of these coughs is more like a clicking noise.

"I say..." a shrill voice rings out, "I've been back for half a day, how much longer are you two going to keep gnawing on each other?"

Hearing this, Lingxiang immediately comes to her senses, pushes Long Qi away, and with a red face, turns and runs into the room.

Watching Lingxiang run away, Long Qi is also stunned, then he covers his mouth and laughs. He laughs with his heroic brows spread and his eyes shining bright. For a moment, he is so happy he forgets himself, but...

But upon seeing Adao following behind Lingxiang, he is startled...

Just now...

Was it that yellow weasel speaking just now?

The yellow weasel actually spoke?!

Wait, why does that tuft of white hair on the yellow weasel's head look so familiar...

Lingxiang returns to the room, feeling as if her face is burning, and she hurriedly closes the door. But as soon as she closes it, she hears Adao's clicking sound behind her:

"Grandmother said, if I follow you to cultivate, you are my master. But even if you are my master, there is no reason to howl like a ghost to summon someone over just to watch you two gnawing on each other, is there?"

Hearing this, Lingxiang's face burns even more. She stammers, "What gnawing on each other? You little brat, what do you know? Adult matters, don't you go wagging your tongue!"

Upon hearing this, Adao squeaks and jumps onto the table, tilting its head and staring at Lingxiang without moving. The sunlight spills through the window onto its body, and those bean-like eyes are piercingly bright, frighteningly so.

"Grandmother said, one is not allowed to lie when cultivating the Dao. Just now, you two were clearly gnawing together."

Lingxiang sees Adao like this and knows that if she continues, it will only become less clear, so she hurriedly changes the subject.

"You are still young, you don't understand. I summoned you back in such a hurry because there is something important for you to do! You must not be like this and delay the serious business; your grandmother might get into trouble."

Hearing this, Adao hurriedly stands up and nervously asks what the matter is.

Lingxiang explains that Zhao Wuyang is about to return to the City Lord Mansion and instructs Adao to make sure to explain the reason clearly to Alv, then sends it off to deliver the message quickly.

As soon as Adao leaves, Lingxiang sits down, props up her chin, and thinks of the kiss in the courtyard just now—Long Qi's kiss, it seems she didn't dislike it at all!

More than just not disliking it, her heart feels as if it has eaten honey, it is so sweet!
