Chapter 36 Night Warmth, You and I are Clear

    

specially helpless, "I'll do it myself!" "Do you have the strength to pull down the banner Don't worry, I only tear clothes, and I won't take advantage of you. 。She pushed his hand away and neatly to...Shi Liyuan deeply believed that on this night, his fourth sister was definitely his nemesis, the only one in over four hundred years!

Back then, when the power of transformation vanished, everyone's lifespan was no more than a generation. Yet, he alone broke free from the shackles of the earth and lived for an exceptionally long time.

That is, the old master didn't hold him back, but now he let Ye Wenyan control him!

What's going on

Seeing the person fall out of the bucket, he had to stop halfway through his incantation and quickly reached out to help them up.

But how can you help this person Just leaving him like this, it's not right!

Shi Lifen was in trouble, and the hand he had reached out retracted. But the person was still standing there, so Ye Wenyan stumbled and fell straight into him with a thud.

"Wait a moment, don't leave yet!" The girl clutched at his crimson maple-colored robe. "Shi Lifen, please don't go, I still have something to say!"

He stood motionless, feeling the night air cool the water on his head, wetting his robes. It was such an awkward yet heated scene, but the girl lying on his body seemed like ice. The chill went through his clothes and into his heart.

He sighed and patted her arm, "I won't leave, you go back into the water first, or I'll give you my clothes, put them on first, okay"

Ye Wen had already reacted, realizing how awkward the situation was. His entire face was buried in his robe.

I'm so embarrassed, I can't even face anyone! How could she do such a thing Why didn't she just stay in the big bathtub What made her have to climb out

This was thanks to Shi Liyu taking a step forward and catching her. If he hadn't stepped forward just now, she would have fallen to the ground. At that time, she would have landed face first, and who knows if something wouldn't have scratched her heart Then she'd become the second "Night Crimson Makeup"! Thankfully!

“I can’t be as hideous as Ye Hongzhuang, or I won’t be able to get married in the future!” For a moment, I couldn’t control myself and blurted out whatever thoughts were in my heart. Afterwards, I regretted it because the current situation didn't seem much better than being slapped in the face. Just like this, I was huddled in a man’s arms, not even wearing a shred of clothing. What kind of image is this This is something that a dignified descendant of Xuanmai could do

Why did she betray everyone just because of a change in era Why does every betrayal always involve this Celestial Emperor

She was baffled and had no choice but to seek answers proactively: "Shi Liyuan, tell me, did you cast some kind of spell on me Otherwise, why am I always so unlucky whenever I meet you Last time it was three consecutive stab wounds, this time it's losing all face. Can you at least spare me some dignity I need to maintain some face too!"

He didn't talk to her about curses or anything like that. He just asked her, "Night Crimson Makeup is your cousin who married into the Duke of Shu's mansion in your place"

She pulled her face out from under the robes, lifting her head. "Do you know so much about my family's affairs You even know who Ye Hongzhuang is, what else do you know Or are you only familiar with Ye Hongzhuang because she is beautiful"

Shi Li frowned, speaking plainly: "How would I know what she looks like The only reason I know her is because I encountered you outside the city. Naturally, I had to send someone to investigate why Ye Jia's fourth sister was found murdered in the wilderness."

"Oh, is that so!" She buried her head back down, a strange sense of satisfaction welling up inside her.

He reminded her again, "Do you want to soak it or wear it"

She was really annoyed, how could she have gotten into this situation

"I'll wear it, put it on me!" A hand reached out from under his arm to grab the clothes hanging on the rack, but couldn't quite reach them.

Shi Li Yuan sighed again, "You stand still, don't move. I'll get it for you." She turned around and handed her the clothes, then put her on his back and carried her.

Yè Wēn yán three steps and two steps put on his clothes, then called him: “Alright, turn around, I’m done.”

He turned to look at her, shaking his head as he did. “As expected of a pampered young lady, even getting dressed is such a chore for you” He helplessly reached out to straighten her clothes, only to realize that she was wearing a plain white undergarment. It was certainly better than being completely naked, but this white undergarment wasn't something to be seen just by anyone!

Seeing his movements stop, Ye Wen inquired, "What's wrong"

Shi Li Yuan's movements recovered, and she smoothed the last crease for her. "It's nothing."

She nodded and explained to herself, "I'm not the kind of spoiled woman who expects everything handed to me. I just don't know how to wear this kind of clothing." Then she realized she had spoken out of turn, after all, this was the kind of clothing everyone wore in ancient times. What did she mean by saying she didn't know how to wear it

The atmosphere became awkward again.

Shi Liyuan looked at her for a while, then picked up the white cotton cloth beside him, “Wipe your hair dry, be careful of catching a cold.”

Ye Wen's intelligence finally came online, bending down to pick up a fallen plum blossom. With a gentle squeeze and a quick incantation, his wet hair and the scattered water on the ground were completely dry in the blink of an eye.

He offered his cloth and found it empty, so he had to put it back. "Ye Wenyan, you called me back in such a hurry, what's the matter"

She tilted her head back and smiled at him, the breathtaking beauty of Lin'an's number one beauty reflected in his eyes. He simply said, "Well, she is pretty."

She didn't understand, "What What's good-looking Shi Lifen I was just about to do something with you, what do you want"

He wasn't being coy either, speaking plainly: "I have to say, your face is quite pretty. Your complexion is just a bit too pale though, like..."

"Like a dead person," she waved her hand, somewhat irritable. "That's enough, I know. I'm not just pale; I'm cold too, like a walking corpse. But there's nothing I can do about it. This afternoon I even tried to pinch some plum blossoms to revive myself, but guess what It failed! Yes, it failed! I was so scared that I thought my magic had backfired. Later, I realized that it was probably because of the aftereffects of being stabbed. My body seems to think it's already dead, and my breathing here doesn't seem to do anything."

"Aftereffects" He thought for a moment, feeling that the reason for these aftereffects was mainly his fault. After all, he was the one who had stabbed them twice. So he took the initiative to remedy the situation, "How about I give it a try"

She nodded, "Okay, you try it!"

Shi Liyuan extended his hand, holding a ball of red light in his palm. He gently placed it before her forehead.

Ye Wen felt this red light was warm, a sensation she hadn't experienced since crossing over into this body. It felt especially comforting. Her body instinctively leaned closer to him, her face radiating contentment.

He reached out with one hand to steady her, and his spiritual energy surged once more. The red light grew larger, almost encompassing half a person.

Unfortunately, it only enveloped half of the person, with no intention of moving further. No matter how hard he urged it, the red light couldn't penetrate her body even a little bit.

Ye Wen unconsciously leaned completely against him, a red glow surrounding her. That warmth was almost ten thousand times better than being in hot water. She was about to drift off in this warm embrace when she heard a regretful sigh in her ear. Soon after, the red glow disappeared, and the cold returned to envelop her.

"I guess it's useless," Ye Wen sighed.

Shi Li frowned and nodded, "Useless."

"Do you know the specific reason"

"I don't know."

“You didn’t even know... it seems this is just my fate.” She shrank back from him, a little embarrassed. “That… I didn’t mean to take advantage of you. It’s just that when you were performing the technique just now, it felt so harmonious, so I unconsciously leaned in. Don’t mind it.”

He didn't say much, just asked, "What did you want to do with me before"

Ye Wen quickly said, "Money! Shi Lifeng, you came once, don't come for nothing. Give me some money! I'm so poor now, my family took all the good things from my original house. Now I have nothing left, not even enough to give my maid a tip. It's embarrassing. How about you give me some money Then I'll forget about saving your life outside the city. We'll be even, how about it"

He was stunned, "Give you some money Even if it's square" "That's how it's settled"

"Oh, well then"

Then he remembered something else: "Aren't we just strangers who met by chance"

She wanted to ask who you listened to, then she remembered it was what she had said to Yunchen herself when she was in the palace. Yunchen belonged to him, so he naturally listened to Yunchen.

Then she nodded and replied, "Isn't that so"

"You are, aren't you!" His emotions instantly plummeted. With a flick of his wrist, he tossed a bag of silver into her hand and turned to leave.

Yè Wēn yán grabbed his sleeve, flipping through the silver in his bag while grumbling, "All these are big silver coins! Can't you exchange some for smaller ones How am I supposed to spend this much all at once"

Shi Liyuan gritted his teeth: "Do it yourself!"

"Go ahead and smash it yourself!" She didn't know where she got the anger from, so she casually pulled off the silver bell on her wrist. "Here you go back. Just to be safe, I’ll take it off so it won't ring again, and you won't have to run all the way here for nothing."

He stared at the bell for a long while, then reached out to take it. “Ye Wenyan, you and I are even!”

A red shadow flashed, and the person had vanished.

Ye Wen reached forward, grasping at the air twice. There was nothing there, just emptiness.

She wasn't in a good mood and started to regret why she had returned the bell. It was such a beautiful thing, even if it didn't have any use, wearing it on her wrist would be beautiful. Not to mention that it was a useful magic artifact, and as long as she shook it once, she could see the man who always wore a crimson robe.

Now that she returned the bell, they're even, right It's really over between them.

The Emperor of Northern Qi, an existence of supreme dignity. From this point on, she feared there would be no further intersection between them.

Alright, she told herself that way, everyone lives their own life, no one owes anyone anything, and that's fine.

That night, Ye Wen was dazed and kept dreaming. In her dream, she clutched at someone's sleeve and pleaded with them to return the beautiful silver bell to her.

That night, a major incident occurred in the palace: Empress Li, after finishing her wash and preparing for bed, took a misstep and fell hard.

It didn't matter that she fell, the hairpin on her head fell out and landed directly in her chest, piercing it almost half an inch deep. It nearly hit her heart...But how did Ye Wenyan manage to get involved with the Yan Huagong How exactly did this happen It makes no sense!Although she never liked her four granddaughters, this granddaughter had grown up under...
