Chapter 341 Charming
When Xiao Ling heard this, his heart skipped a beat. Although Xun'er looked at him with gentle eyes, the tentative meaning in her words made him alert instantly. He knew that if he answered inappropriately, he would be in trouble...
Fortunately, Xiao Ling was very good at controlling his expression. He did not show any panic on his face. Instead, he looked a little surprised. He looked at Xun'er with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
"Xun'er, what are you thinking about? I help them because I hope they can realize their potential and not waste their talents. Moreover, when they become stronger, they can also become my right-hand men."
"Just like Xiao Yixian, she is about to break through to the five-star Dou Zun. With a master like her by my side, I will feel a little safer when traveling in Zhongzhou."
He paused and continued, "As for the evil intentions you mentioned, I don't have that kind of thought. I, Xiao Ling, am a gentleman and will never force others to do something they don't want to do."
Xiao Ling's words were full of confidence, after all, every word he said was true. However, he always glossed over the key points, and if you don't listen carefully, it is easy to be misunderstood.
As for Xiao Yixiang and the others, I don't have any improper thoughts about them, but it is their voluntary choice. There is a huge difference between them.
Speaking of the future, when things come to light, Xiao Ling is full of confidence in himself. Don't forget, in the Douqi Continent, you don't have to abide by the rules of monogamy.
As long as you are strong enough and can make the other party willing, it doesn't matter how many you marry. There are also many examples of female practitioners with outstanding strength who have multiple male partners at the same time.
Looking at Xiao Ling's frank appearance, Xun'er suddenly felt that she might have thought too much. Besides, what Xiao Ling said was not without reason. Xiao Yixian and Qinglin both have unique physiques, and their talents are visible to the naked eye. They really need to be carefully cultivated to strengthen their relationship.
With a strong person like Xiao Yixiang following Xiao Ling, she can feel more at ease when she is not with Xiao Ling.
"Brother Xiao Ling, you are right, Xun'er thinks too much. It's a pity that when Xun'er left the family this time, she had already agreed on a return date with the elders of the clan. Otherwise, I also want to meet Qinglin and Xiao Yixiang." While speaking, Xun'er showed a beautiful smile and her tone was particularly gentle, like a virtuous young wife.
Xun'er's status in the ancient clan is very high now, so she can stay out as long as she wants. But the old guys in the ancient clan knew that Xun'er went out to see her lover.
But Xun'er possesses the most perfect divine bloodline of the ancient clan in thousands of years, and she cannot lose her virginity before becoming a Douluo Saint.
They were worried that if two energetic young people stayed together for too long, something might happen, so they stipulated that Xun'er could not be outside for too long.
Seeing Xun'er being so gentle and considerate, Xiao Ling suddenly felt a strong sense of guilt. He felt that he was really too much and was unworthy of Xun'er's love for him. After everything was settled, he swore that he must stay with Xun'er.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ling took off the Lingxi pendant from his neck and handed it to Xun'er for her to check.
Xun'er looked at the jade pendant with confusion in her eyes. It was the first time she had seen such a thing.
Seeing this, Xiao Ling smiled and explained: "Xun'er, this item is called Lingxi Pei. This jade pendant can allow the wearer to have a subtle sense of connection with a like-minded person. I was able to find you before probably because of the help of this thing. But before, I was the only one wearing it, so the effect was naturally not that obvious. If we each wear one, the feeling will definitely be stronger."
As soon as Xiao Ling finished speaking, Xun'er's curiosity was aroused. She stretched out her hand impatiently, carefully took the Lingxi pendant from Xiao Ling's palm, and began to examine it carefully. Her fingers gently stroked every inch of the texture of the pendant, and her eyes were full of exploratory light.
"The effect of this thing is really amazing. I have never heard of a treasure with a similar effect." Xun'er said as she looked at it, with a very interested expression on her face. "I also vaguely felt some subtle connection before. Now that I think about it, it should be this Lingxi Pendant that is working."
She played with it for a while, then handed the Lingxi pendant back to Xiao Ling, with a look of anticipation and excitement in her eyes, and said, "Brother Xiao Ling, since you said that this Lingxi pendant needs two people to wear one each to exert its effect, then Brother Xiao Ling will personally help Xun Er put on my piece."
"No problem, then Xun'er, wait a moment." Xiao Ling responded with a smile, and then gently took the Lingxi pendant from Xun'er. His fingers gently slid along the lines on the jade pendant, as if looking for some secret mechanism. Suddenly, he pressed lightly, and the Lingxi pendant naturally split into two halves along the lines on it.
Then, Xiao Ling took out a thin red string from the ring and skillfully put on the half of the Lingxi pendant that represented the yin.
Xun'er watched intently, her eyes full of anticipation, and she even held her breath.
Xiao Ling first put on the half of the Lingxi pendant that he had previously tied with a rope, and then gently hung the other half of the Lingxi pendant he had just put on around Xun'er's fair and delicate neck.
The red string contrasted beautifully with her fair skin, and the Lingxi pendant on Xun'er's neck sparkled with a soft luster, as if it had found its true home.
Xun'er looked down at the jade pendant on her chest and a satisfied smile appeared on her face. She could feel the contact of the jade pendant with her skin, giving her a cool feeling.
And the moment she put on the jade pendant, Xun'er felt a wonderful connection, as if she and Xiao Ling had a telepathic connection. As long as they thought of each other, they could vaguely feel each other's presence, as if their hearts were closely connected by this jade pendant.
"Thank you, Brother Xiao Ling. I really like this gift." Xun'er stretched out her slender fingers and gently stroked the jade pendant hanging around her neck, with a sweet smile on her face.
As the eldest daughter of an ancient clan, she had no shortage of precious materials and rare treasures from heaven and earth, but the Lingxi pendant that Xiao Ling gave her today was particularly precious because it represented the friendship between the two of them, and it made her very happy.
Before, Xiao Ling only wore the Lingxi pendant by himself, which could create a special connection between the two of them. This made Xun'er feel even more how important she was in Xiao Ling's heart.
"Haha, as long as you like it, Xun'er, that's enough. This thing is actually not that precious." Xiao Ling said gently while stroking Xun'er's hair.
Xun'er shook her head gently, her eyes firm and serious, "No, Brother Xiao Ling, this is the most precious gift to me." She paused, her eyes fell on the Lingxi pendant on Xiao Ling's chest, "Brother Xiao Ling's half of the Lingxi pendant must also be kept well."
"Xun'er, you are right." Xiao Ling looked at Xun'er's serious eyes, and was slightly stunned at first, and then showed a serious look, "Don't worry, I will treat it as the most precious thing and will not lose it."
Xun'er's gaze lingered on Xiao Ling's face for a moment. Seeing his serious look, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
That smile was like a blooming spring flower, instantly brightening the whole world. Even Xiao Ling was stunned, thinking to himself, this smile would probably overshadow the heaven and earth.
Seeing Xiao Ling staring at her blankly, Xun'er's cheeks were stained with a faint blush, a shy and sweet blush. She bit her lips gently, as if trying to hide her shyness.
When Xiao Ling saw Xun'er's shy look, his heart could not help but ripple, it was an indescribable throbbing. He couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke Xun'er's cheek, the touch was soft and warm.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment, their eyes met, as if thousands of words were flowing silently. Gradually, their faces unconsciously moved closer, and the atmosphere became ambiguous and tense.
Their eyes met, as if a strange feeling flowed between them. As Xiao Ling slowly approached, Xun'er's breathing became rapid, and her heartbeat pounded in her ears.
Finally, Xiao Ling slowly closed his eyes, and at the same time, Xun'er also raised her head slightly. The distance between the two people kept getting closer, and gradually, their breathing intertwined. Then, in such a seemingly inadvertent moment, their lips gently touched each other. At first, their contact was gentle, like the first time, and it seemed to confirm each other's feelings. But soon, this gentle contact became passionate.
Xiao Ling's lips slowly opened, and he carefully extended his tongue tip, lightly touching Xun'er's tongue tip. It was a novel and heart-pounding feeling that made their bodies tremble involuntarily.
As time passed, their tongues began a gentle adventure, licking gently, swirling and entwining, each contact seeming to deepen the emotional bond between them.
Their kiss gradually deepened, from the initial gentleness to becoming more and more passionate, as if silently expressing their longing and affection for each other.
Xun'er's body trembled slightly, and her little hands tightly grasped Xiao Ling's collar, as if looking for a support. Xiao Ling's arms tightly hugged Xun'er's waist, making her stick closer to him, and the two heartbeats seemed to merge into one at this moment.
The kiss lasted for a long time, until they both felt that it was difficult to breathe, and then they slowly and reluctantly separated. When they separated, there was still a thin crystal line hanging on their lips, and their eyes were full of deep affection. Xun'er's cheeks were as red as a ripe apple, and Xiao Ling's breathing became a little rapid.
When Xun'er's thoughts slowly returned to reality, she found that her clothes had been loosened. Xiao Ling's hand had slipped into her clothes at some point and was gently holding the softness of her chest.
This sudden intimate contact made Xun'er feel an inexplicable surge of heat in her heart. Her cheeks instantly flushed, her heart beat faster, and she felt extremely shy.
Her face was as red as a ripe apple. She jumped up from Xiao Ling's arms in panic, and hurriedly tightened her clothes. She didn't dare to look directly at Xiao Ling, but just lowered her head and stared at her toes.
Fortunately, as Xun'er had requested before, the old man Lin who had been guarding silently in the dark had quietly left. Xiao Ling had also been paying attention to the situation around him, and Leikongzuo was also on guard nearby, so no one else could see this charming scene except him.
"Oh, Brother Xiao Ling, are we a little too excited?" Xun'er's voice trembled slightly, and her eyes revealed a hint of embarrassment, as well as a hint of indescribable emotion.
Xiao Ling was also caught off guard by Xun'er's sudden action. He scratched his head awkwardly and said with a hint of apology: "Xun'er, I'm so sorry, I just lost control. But you also know that my Xun'er is so charming, sometimes it's really hard not to be affected. I promise that I will pay more attention in the future."
Xun'er's voice was filled with a hint of embarrassment, and she murmured softly: "You must remember what you said. Otherwise... otherwise I will really ignore you."
Xiao Ling immediately showed an apologetic smile. He nodded slightly, with a hint of joking in his tone, trying to ease the delicate atmosphere between the two: "It's my fault, I will pay attention to it next time. Don't be angry, okay?"
"Okay, I'll let you go this time." Xun'er said softly. She nodded slightly, then slowly raised her head. Although there was still a hint of shyness in her eyes, when she saw Xiao Ling's sincere look, her mood gradually returned to peace.
Then, Xun'er straightened her clothes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm down. Xiao Ling watched silently from the side, not disturbing her anymore.
Seeing Xiao Ling's honest face, Xun'er couldn't help but smile. She walked lightly to Xiao Ling's side, gently hugged his arms, and then kissed him lightly on the lips, and then quickly separated.
"Brother Xiao Ling, I'm sorry..." Xun'er's voice was soft and sincere, "It's not that I don't want to help you, but the blood in my body has not yet fully awakened. If I get involved in matters between men and women now, it may affect my future cultivation. Please believe me, when the time is right, I will give myself to you without reservation, okay...?"
Xiao Ling heard Xun'er whispering softly in his ear. Although the voice was soft, it shocked his heart. He then recalled that the divine blood in Xun'er's body could not be broken before reaching the realm of Dou Sheng. He couldn't help but feel ashamed of his recklessness and almost lost his mind.
When Xun'er finished uttering those words, her ears involuntarily turned red and her heart beat like a drum. Even she was surprised that she could express her feelings so bluntly.
She felt her cheeks getting hot and she was so shy that she could hardly think. She could only bury her head deeply in Xiao Ling's arms, as if this could help her avoid the sudden embarrassment.
Xiao Ling sensed her embarrassment, patted her back gently, and comforted her in a relaxed tone: "Xun'er, I understand, I will wait patiently until you are ready to tell me. We have plenty of time, so let's take it slow, right?"
"Yeah, Brother Xiao Ling is right. Xun'er will work hard in the future and won't let Brother Xiao Ling wait too long." Listening to Xiao Ling's soft voice, Xun'er's originally restless heart gradually calmed down, and only warmth remained in her heart.
The two sat side by side on the boulder by the lake, snuggling up to each other, enjoying the long-lost tranquility and warmth. Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and all the noise around them had nothing to do with them.
Time passed quietly, and the sky gradually darkened. The afterglow of the setting sun gently sprinkled on the two of them, adding a touch of warm and soft color to this beautiful moment.
The surrounding scenery was dyed with a light golden red, which made it look particularly peaceful and tranquil. The breeze blew gently, and ripples appeared on the lake, as if blessing the couple.
The mountains in the distance become softer under the setting sun, like a beautiful painting.
Xiao Ling and Xun'er, like the protagonists in a painting, immersed in this warm atmosphere, feeling each other's warmth and heartbeat.
Xun'er looked up, her eyes following the gorgeous sunset in the sky. Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind. She turned around, her eyes sparkling with excitement, and said to Xiao Ling: "Brother Xiao Ling, I heard that there is a Lantern Festival in Xinlian City not far away today. Let's go and see it together."
Then, Xun'er told Xiao Ling all the interesting stories and anecdotes about the Lantern Festival that she had collected before.
When Xiao Ling heard this suggestion, his eyes lit up and he was immediately interested. He had not been in Zhongzhou for a long time and did not know much about the local customs and practices. The Lantern Festival was still a new thing for him.
"Since you are so interested, Xun'er, of course I have to accompany you. Besides, the Lantern Festival you mentioned sounds quite interesting." Xiao Ling smiled slightly, winked at Xun'er mischievously, and said easily.
"Then Brother Xiao Ling, let's set off quickly, otherwise we will miss those lively scenes." After getting Xiao Ling's consent, Xun'er smiled even brighter and excitedly took Xiao Ling's hand.
Xiao Ling smiled and nodded, then called out. Rayquaza, who was leisurely wandering in the peach blossom forest, immediately responded and quickly returned to them.
Then, Xiao Ling and Xun'er held hands and jumped onto the back of Rayquaza lightly. Under Xun'er's guidance, Rayquaza flexibly twisted its slender body, and then suddenly exerted force, like an arrow shot out, it soared straight into the sky and flew rapidly towards the direction of Xinlian City.
The wind blew in their faces, gently lifting their hair. Xiao Ling reached out his hand from behind and firmly embraced Xun'er's slender waist. Xun'er felt the embrace around her waist and naturally snuggled into Xiao Ling's arms.
In the wind, Xun'er's hair brushed Xiao Ling's cheek, bringing a slightly itchy feeling, and he couldn't help but smile.
The figures of the two gradually blurred in the afterglow of the setting sun, leaving only a faint pink color slowly spreading in the forest...
