489: Nan Xian, Is That You? III

Nan Xian, Is That You? III

Xiao Qing came back after it was thrown away by Nan Xian. Suddenly, it heard Nan Xian's ruthless words. It was so scared that it went away to keep itself out of their sight.2

The snake was completely out of sight!

Nan Xian calmly looked outside the window as he could feel Xiao Qing's aura getting weaker. He started to look relaxed this time.

'Yeap, this time, it's really gone...'

"State Preceptor…" Feng Ruqing lifted her eyes and met the man's eyes.

Suddenly, the figure that she had seen in her spiritual sense emerged in her mind again. Her heart jolted.

"State Preceptor, it was you who had saved me?"

Like a sword, the man's sad eyes pierced through her heart. 

She wanted to comfort him by caressing his knotted eyebrows. She did not want him to be sad again.

However… she could not even walk to him.

Nan Xian stretched out his hand and pulled Feng Ruqing into his arms. He used his hand to press her head against his chest tightly.

"Sorry. I didn't protect you well."

Feng Ruqing's head was close to Nan Xian's chest. She could hear the robust heartbeat inside the man's chest.

Suddenly, the room quieted down.

It was so quiet that... they could only hear each other's heartbeat.

"Nan Xian, how did you find me?"

This place was Tang Yin's courtyard. Nan Xian would not have known. 

"Well." Nan Xian loosened his grip on the young girl as he gently smiled.

 "There's no place in the world where I can't find you."

"What if someday I don't exist in this world anymore, how could you find me then?"

She was not from Cang Yue Mainland. She came from a place called Hua Xia.

How could Nan Xian find her if she left the mainland someday?

"I'll look everywhere in the sky if you're in the Ninth Heaven[1]. I'll look in the whole Yellow Spring[2] if you're in the Yellow Spring. I told you, there's no place in the world where I won't be able to find you."

Even though it would take him a hundred years or a thousand years to find her, he would still look for her.

Feng Ruqing suddenly smiled. Her laughter spread across the whole room.

"I was just pulling your leg, State Preceptor. I'll never leave Cang Yue Mainland for the rest of my life."

Actually, she was only an outsider who does not belong in this world. However, she had already felt attached to this world.

A sense of attachment where she felt that this place was her real home.

"But then..." Feng Ruqing stood up and pressed herself against Nan Xian. She smiled widely. "State Preceptor in such a serious manner, it really turns me on… makes me want to sleep with you."

Nan Xian looked calm and gently smiled.

"I've told you before. If you can win a fight against me, I'll listen to you for the rest of my life."

Feng Ruqing's face darkened. "Why are you so obsessed with fighting with me?"

"It's because... I want you to punch me."

Feng Ruqing was speechless.

"I have forgotten a lot of things, but I have always had this feeling of you beating me. Perhaps I could remember something if you could beat me."

Feng Ruqing had nothing to say.

For goodness sake! How could she lay a finger upon such a handsome face?

She would never be the person to do that!

"State Preceptor, have you sought for the wrong person for revenge?"

Feng Ruqing looked at Nan Xian skeptically. "Do you think I'm the kind of person who could bear to beat you?"

Nan Xian said nothing as he looked at Feng Ruqing.

Feng Ruqing became anxious. "I've never punched you before!"

Even if she did, it would be the previous owner. She would never be that kind of person!

"If Qing'er said she didn't do it before, then she didn't do it." 

Nan Xian gently rubbed Feng Ruqing's head with his hand. His voice was so gentle that anyone could immerse themselves in it.

[1] In Chinese, the 'Ninth' in the Ninth Heaven is the quantifier for the number 'nine'. It consists of the meaning of 'infinite' since 'nine' is the biggest number among 1-9. Therefore, the Ninth Heaven is a Chinese phrase referring to the highest spot in the sky.

[2] Just like the word 'Pandemonium', 'Yellow Spring' is the phrase for 'hell' in Chinese
