Chapter 1008: Chapter 1008: Lingzhi Jade Lotus Stove
A warmth rose in Ye You’s heart, as he tucked a lock of hair that fell beside Qin Sisi’s ear behind it and softly replied, "Don’t worry about , I know my limits. And I can clearly see who is truly loyal and who is secretly crossing the Chan Chiang."
Seeing Ye You speak with such certainty, Qin Sisi said no more. Ye You was not an impulsive person, even if he were to punish ngyan, he would probably conceal himself well.
However, there was still a hint of lancholy in Ye You’s expression, which made Qin Sisi’s heart ache. She took the initiative to gently kiss his cheek as a form of comfort.
Ye You turned his head, looking intently at Qin Sisi and grasped her chin.
Qin Sisi guessed what Ye You was about to do, got flustered, and hurriedly continued, "I have more to say."
Ye You paused, his expression showing a hint of helplessness as he released her, and said with patience, "Go ahead, I’m listening."
Qin Sisi carefully chose her words, cleared her throat, and said, "A wise monarch should have clear rewards and punishnts. You just ntioned punishing ngyan, does that an you should also reward Xiao ng?"
These were her true feelings. Qin Sisi had always rembered the care Xiao ng had shown her these past days and had always wanted to repay her, but never had the chance nor did she have anything valuable to give to Xiao ng.
Now was the perfect opportunity to nudge Ye You about this matter, as the exalted Prince should have a gift that would satisfy Xiao ng.
Ye You laughed, flicked Qin Sisi’s forehead lightly, and asked, "How do you want
to reward her?"
Qin Sisi shook her head and replied, "I don’t know. Her greatest wish is to beco a skilled alchemist, and I don’t think I can help with that."
Ye You thought for a mont, took sothing out of his Portable Space, and handed it to Qin Sisi, saying, "How about this?"
"What is it?" Qin Sisi was curious. The box in front of her looked very exquisite, and she carefully opened it to find an alchemy furnace inside.
But it was not just any alchemy furnace. Even from afar, one could feel the spiritual energy emanating from it, it was extraordinary. The body of the furnace was engraved with patterns of Lingzhi and lotus, beautifully intricate and lifelike.
"An alchemy furnace?" Realization dawned on Qin Sisi, "Perfect, she will definitely love it."
Ye You smiled and said, "This furnace is called the Lingzhi Jade Lotus Stove. I acquired it not long ago; I initially wanted to give it to you. However, since you don’t seem very interested in alchemy, if you’re willing, you could give it away!"
Qin Sisi looked up at Ye You and asked, "You’re also practicing alchemy, don’t you need it?"
Ye You shook his head and said, "I have one more suited for myself."
As he spoke, he took out the alchemy furnace he usually used for Qin Sisi to see. Qin Sisi had seen it before but hadn’t paid much attention. Now, observing it closely from a short distance, she could see the extraordinary nature of this furnace.
The dark-colored body of the furnace subtly glead with a purple light, with nine dragons carved on it, soaring through clouds, exuding an imperial majesty.
Ye You explained, "Mine is called the Purple Gold Dragon Stove. It integrates very well with the Ziwei Heaven Fire, so I don’t need any other furnaces. Now, the Lingzhi Jade Lotus Stove is yours, so do what you see fit!"
Qin Sisi held the Lingzhi Jade Lotus Stove in her hands and observed it for a while. She naturally liked such a delicately made and spiritually abundant object, but she had already decided to focus solely on forging arts and couldn’t spare energy to practice alchemy. Thus, even the best alchemy furnace was of little significance to her.
Qin Sisi carefully put away the Lingzhi Jade Lotus Stove, and decisively said, "I’ve decided, I’m going to give this alchemy furnace to Xiao ng."
Ye You affectionately tousled her hair and smiled, "Actually, the Muyin family also owns a superior alchemy furnace called the Auspicious Crane Stove which is used by Chief Cang Zuo. His elder daughter, whose talents are diocre, failed to enter Heavenly Magic God’s Castle for her studies. Therefore, Cang Zuo placed high hopes on his second daughter, Jing Jing. Indeed, Jing Jing perford very well. When she graduated from Heavenly Magic God’s Castle, Cang Zuo gave her the Auspicious Crane Stove as a congratulatory gift. So, Xiao ng had only a common alchemy furnace to use. Giving her this one, I’m sure she will be absolutely delighted."
Qin Sisi was also quite satisfied with the gift, and looking at Ye You, she crisply said, "Then I’ll thank you on behalf of Xiao ng."
Qin Sisi felt great, her eyes sparkling more brilliantly and attractively, stirring ripples in Ye You’s heart. He leaned closer and whispered, "rely saying thanks is not enough."
The charming and ambiguous tone made Qin Sisi’s heart skip a beat, her breathing quickened suddenly, and she lowered her head, too shy to et Ye You’s gaze, her cheeks and ears flushing red.
Ye You gazed at the lovely person in his arms and found the bright red ears irresistibly cute. He couldn’t help but lower his head and nibbled on one.
A tingling sensation instantly spread from her earlobe throughout her body, causing Qin Sisi’s body to shiver, her cheeks flushing rapidly.
"You are getting naughtier..." she whispered in protest.
Ye You looked at her intensely and murmured, "Actually, I wanted to be even naughtier."
"No..." Qin Sisi hurriedly resisted, her dazed eyes filling with a plea.
Ye You held her tightly and spoke softly, "Don’t worry, I won’t, at least not until the curse is completely lifted. I want to give you all of myself."
To wholly possess you and to completely give myself to you, not like now when I only have half my freedom, and cannot comfort and be close to you through the long nights.
The two nestled together, and Qin Sisi silently thought that if this road never ended, it would be wonderful; just the two of them, quiet and tender, free from all worldly troubles and annoyances.
Unfortunately, that was impossible. Before long, the coachman outside raised his voice, reminding them that they were soon to arrive at their destination.
Ye You sighed deeply, hugged Qin Sisi tightly, then reluctantly let go, feeling that ti together always seed too short.
Qin Sisi looked at Ye You’s sowhat helpless expression and suddenly thought, maybe Ye You, like her, wished this road were longer, much longer, where it was quiet with only the two of them.
She secretly curled her lips, touching her face, which felt burning hot as if she had a fever.
She looked up at Ye You and noticed a slight flush on his cheekbones. He must have been quite stirred earlier too, recalling their intimate monts, she couldn’t help but gaze at him a few more tis.
"Looking at what?" Ye You noticed Qin Sisi’s stare and asked, his voice a bit hoarse.
Qin Sisi’s face turned even redder, she kept her head down and stayed silent, rely adjusting her clothes and hair quietly.
