Volume 1: The Beauty of Misfortune Chapter 121: Blue Wind Xuanfu
The same move was successful on Xia Qingyue at the beginning because Yun Che had been helping Xia Qingyue with the profound knowledge for several days in a row, and he was exhausted in the middle of the night. After all, the real relationship between husband and wife was there. No matter how cruel Xia Qingyue was, she would not let Yun Che sleep on the floor again... and Yun Che was shouting that he would rather die than let a woman sleep on the floor, so he and Xia Qingyue shared the same bed... although nothing happened.
However, the same move was much easier to work on Lan Xueruo.
After all, Lan Xueruo was two years older than Yun Che, and subconsciously she always thought of Yun Che as a little brother. In addition, Lan Xueruo was completely different from Xia Qingyue's coldness. She was soft and gentle, so how could she bear to let Yun Che, who risked his life to save her many times, sleep on the cold floor...
So, the result was logical.
Lan Xueruo slept inside and Yun Che slept outside, with a long blanket rolled up by Lan Xueruo in the middle.
"Your body is not allowed to exceed this blanket, otherwise... otherwise..." Lan Xueruo's face was serious, but her warning expression made Yun Che feel no sense of deterrence, but rather pleasing to the eye.
"Sister, don't you believe me?" Yun Che said with a smile, then lay down flat, whispering to himself: "But... if Sister sneaks over to my side... what should I do? Should I run away or pretend that I know nothing..."
Lan Xueruo was choked with anger for a moment, pretending not to hear, and lay on the bed facing inward.
The lights went out, and the room was pitch black. In the silence, although Lan Xueruo closed her eyes, she could not fall asleep for a long time, and her heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably, so that she could almost hear her own heartbeat.
Recalling her meeting and getting along with Yun Che, she couldn't help but admit that she had always been attracted and moved by him. And tonight she actually slept in the same bed with him... Sleeping in the same bed, she found that she was only nervous and nervous, but not afraid or repulsive. This made her feel a vague sense of danger, but she couldn't resist or eliminate it.
She actually slept in the same bed with a man... This was something she took the initiative to bring up, and it just made her feel how incredible it was. Because for her, this was a scene she had never imagined. She began to imagine, if it was the same situation, but Yun Che was replaced by someone else, would she do this out of softness and heartache...
She thought for a long time, switched to many people, and the answer she got was... Absolutely not!
Did I trust him too much... It should be. After all, he even risked his life to protect me, and he was so open and bloody, he would definitely not do anything to offend me in this situation...
While Lan Xueruo was upset, she heard Yun Che's even breathing in her ears, and it seemed that he had fallen asleep peacefully.
Lan Xueruo's tension was relieved immediately, but inexplicably, she felt a little empty again. Her heart was basically calm, and a wave of fatigue suddenly came over her. Not long after, she fell into a dream.
That night, Lan Xueruo thought she would have trouble sleeping all night, but she didn't expect to fall asleep so quickly and sleep so soundly. In her dream, she vaguely felt that she was gradually immersed in a warm embrace. This warmth made her heart very stable and peaceful, and made her very eager to get close to and embrace this warmth. Until she hugged this warmth tightly, she fell into a deeper sleep with satisfaction. She didn't wake up in the middle of the night, and didn't have any nightmares.
The next day.
When Lan Xueruo woke up, the light that her eyes came into contact with was very strong. When her vision became clear from the hazy, her eyes subconsciously looked up and saw Yun Che's eyes that seemed to be smiling.
"Senior sister, good morning."
Lan Xueruo subconsciously prepared to respond, but when she opened her lips, she shouted a scream.
Her arms were tightly wrapped around his upper body, and even her bulging chest was pressed against his chest. Her slender left leg was wrapped around his waist, and her whole body was close to him without a single gap.
Lan Xueruo bounced away from Yun Che as if she had been electrocuted, and hurriedly tidied up her messy hair and clothes. Her heart was pounding and her face was covered with red clouds.
"Senior sister, you seem to be very insecure when you sleep. Is there something you are afraid of?" Yun Che asked, looking into her eyes.
"I... don't... don't..." Lan Xueruo answered somewhat helplessly... She vaguely remembered the warm feeling in her dream that made her feel inexplicably at ease, and she also completely understood that this warm feeling came from Yun Che. And because she subconsciously longed for this feeling, she had been actively approaching and hugging him tightly.
Yun Che woke up very early, but he kept his original posture quietly until Lan Xueruo woke up. Lan Xueruo took the initiative to hug him tightly, but he didn't feel a sense of loveliness, but a faint pity and heartache, because her sleeping posture proved that beneath her peaceful and gentle appearance, she was hiding countless hesitations and even fears, but he didn't know what she was hesitating and afraid of.
Yun Che sat up, then suddenly stretched out his hands, held Lan Xueruo's snow-white right hand in his hands, and said sincerely: "Senior Sister, although I don't know your identity, I don't know your family background, and I don't know what you have been through... But, I said, as long as I am by your side, I will definitely do my best to protect you and never let you get hurt again."
Her hand was suddenly held by a man in such an ambiguous manner, and his warm words were heard in her ears. Lan Xueruo, who had never had such an experience before, was stunned and her mind went blank. She let her hand be held by him for a while before she woke up from a dream. She hurriedly pulled her hand away from his palm and jumped out of bed in a panic.
"You...you already have a wife..."
After leaving a sentence that she didn't even know how to say, Lan Xueruo ran away quickly. That beautiful figure clearly seemed to be running away.
After Lan Xueruo escaped, Yun Che shook his head and smiled, then touched his chin and said to himself: "It seems that I made a mistake. Her behavior is definitely not that she has deep affection for me, but she has a kind of It’s just a good impression that she doesn’t even know clearly, but why did she treat me like this before... even risking huge risks to go to the Xiao Sect branch to save me? "
In an atmosphere that suddenly became awkward and ambiguous, the two of them continued their journey to the Blue Wind Empire. As night fell, when they looked for an inn to stay for the second time, there was only one room left in this inn, and like the last one, they threatened that there was only one inn within a hundred miles, and they would stay there, otherwise they would have to sleep on the street.
Yun Che and Lan Xueruo had no choice but to stay in a guest room.
After the first time, it was much easier and more natural to implement it the second time. The two slept on the same bed again, with a rolled up blanket between them...
When Lan Xueruo woke up the next day, she saw the same situation as yesterday. The blanket had been thrown away unknown where, and she hugged Yun Che like an octopus, hugging her very tightly...
The third day, the fourth day, the fifth day...
Every time they went to an inn, it was as if they had agreed upon it, no more, no less, just one room left, absolutely no more. Some inns only have one, and some have several, but all of them only have one room... Lan Xueruo always feels like an evil inn. With the second, third, fourth and fifth times it becomes more natural. And these days, when Lan Xueruo gets up every day, all she sees is that she is hugging Yun Che tightly. Even if she tries hard to remind herself before going to bed, it is still the same after waking up, and she is still holding Yun Che vaguely. Once tight.
Because after these few days of sleeping together, the last bit of her subconscious rejection of this level of physical contact with Yun Che had quietly disappeared.
But on the sixth day, when he found the inn, Yun Che directly slapped his hand on the counter and said in a dignified voice: "Housekeeper, come to a room."
Lan Xueruo just opened her lips, then lowered her head without saying any objection.
If Lan Xueruo and other men were traveling together, let alone sleeping in the same bed, they wouldn't even be able to touch her with their fingers. But when meeting Yun Che, a veteran with two lifetimes of experience and the appearance of a teenager, not to mention that she is only eighteen years old, even if she is twenty-eight, she will surely fall quietly like this... even she herself Not aware at all.
————————————
Blue Wind Imperial City, the capital of the Blue Wind Empire, is located in the north-central region of the Blue Wind Empire's territory. It is also the largest city in the Blue Wind Empire, with an area that is more than thirty times that of Crescent City. The very center of the Imperial City is where the Blue Wind Empire's highest power center, the Imperial Palace, is located.
The palace is located forty miles straight to the north, and is the location of the Blue Wind Empire's highest profound palace - the Blue Wind Profound Palace.
Blue Wind Profound Palace has a history of thousands of years. It was established by the Blue Wind Royal Family as a place for cultivating advanced profound practitioners for the royal family. It is also a holy land that countless young profound practitioners in the Blue Wind Empire dream of. There are three levels within the Blue Wind Profound Palace: the outer palace, the middle palace, and the inner palace. If you can enter the middle palace, if you are willing to serve the royal family in the future, you will be reused by the royal family. If you join the army, the starting point is the rank of captain of thousands. . And if a profound practitioner can enter the inner palace, then he will definitely receive the highest attention from the royal family. He will be given excellent resources and the best conditions while he is in the Blue Wind Xuan Palace. Any growth he makes while in the Xuan Palace will be restricted. The attention of the royal family will be received by the royal family before leaving the Blue Wind Profound Palace. Once they join the royal family, they will be granted the title of marquis and nobility. The entire family will be rich and glorious, and their chickens and dogs will ascend to heaven.
Therefore, it is the dream of many young profound practitioners to enter the inner palace of Blue Wind Profound Palace. It can even be said to be an extravagant hope.
However, the Blue Wind Profound Palace is the highest profound palace in the Blue Wind Empire after all. Let alone the inner palace, even if you want to enter the outer palace with the lowest standards, the conditions required are extremely harsh, enough to extinguish more than 90% of those who want to join the Blue Wind Profound Palace. Xuan practitioners can only settle for the next best thing and join the imperial Xuanfu in those small cities.
