Ch 88 Part 4 – Illusion (IV)
“You rember very well.”
On ng Qi’s side, it was the warmth of beautiful scenery. Sunlight shone through the windows into one of the four bamboo houses, which ng Qi used to refine dicines. Half of the small abode was used as a refining room, and the other half was a simple study room. At this mont, she was sitting in front of a bamboo desk, with a piece of rice paper spread on it.
Yun Qingyan was sitting opposite her. After praising her, he stared at the row of characters ng Qi wrote on rice paper: “What is this?”
“Cangmingsan pill formula.” ng Qi answered.
“Oh?” Yun Qingyan said with interest: “Just now, you said that you can imbue a spell into a pill to greatly improve the efficacy of its dicinal effect?”
“Yes.” ng Qi nodded at the man; her face was beaming. In a blink of an eye, she had been living here for almost a month. Everything really seed to return to the past. Every day, ng Qi would get up early and cook breakfast. In fact, whether it was her or Yun Qingyan, they actually could make do without eating for a long ti. But she still cooked simple als every day. Although her cooking had nothing worth boasting about, Yun Qingyan always liked to eat whatever she cooked. After breakfast, ng Qi would ditate. In the afternoon, she and Yun Qingyan would go to the refining room together. Either Yun Qingyan taught ng Qi arrays, or the two discussed the thod of refining.
When ng Qi learned the new form of the Lihuo Great Fire Array, ti was pressing, so she barely swallowed everything in one go. This ti, she took the chance to ask for more guidance from Yun Qingyan. The man was the sa as before, teaching her everything he knew without reserve.
With such dazzling happiness, one month passed like flying. ng Qi also took care of the dicinal field every day. The spiritual plants which had flowering when she ca one month ago were now withered, and so had even produced fruits. Still, ng Qi felt that ti flew too fast. Just like the ti she passed with Yun Qingyan in her previous life, the happy days always seed to have passed in a blink of an eye.
At this mont, the two were sitting face to face. ng Qi finished writing the last stroke on the paper and said: “Sovereign Qingyan, Cangmingsan Pill has a very potent side effect. After taking it, the spiritual sea will be damaged, and the cultivator won’t be able to use aura for three days. I wonder if we can pair Cangmingsan Pill with sothing like Beiming Spell or other spells to heal the spiritual sea. Such as…” ng Qi’s head tilted slightly as she spoke. “…Jiuhuiyang Spell?”
“This idea is quite interesting.” Yun Qingyan smiled.
ng Qi also smiled back embarrassedly. Yun Qingyan was always very patient with her. No matter how stupid or naive her idea was, he never laughed at her. Instead, he would accompany her to discuss her idea enthusiastically. ng Qi lowered her head, not daring to look directly at Yun Qingyan, who seed to have more smiles after their reunion.
ng Qi’s cheeks were blushing slightly. She whispered, “It is my whimsical idea to imbue a spell into a pill. But nothing stipulates that only the sa spell can be imbued into a corresponding pill, so…”
“Don’t move.” Yun Qingyan suddenly said.
“Eh?” ng Qi was startled and subconsciously raised her head.
Yun Qingyan reached out his hand and moved his slender fingers towards ng Qi, but he suddenly stopped when he was about to touch her forehead.
He seed to sigh softly: “There is ink on your forehead.”
“Eh? Oh!” ng Qi nodded and quickly wiped her forehead awkwardly.
“On the left too.” Yun Qingyan gestured to her left.
“Here?” ng Qi obediently wiped her left forehead.
Yun Qingyan seed to sigh again and moved his fingers toward ng Qi. His fingertips were warm. He gently wiped ng Qi’s left forehead: “Here.”
Yun Qingyan retracted his fingers right after, without the slightest aning to tease the girl at all.
ng Qi’s face turned red as she quickly reached out to wipe off the ink on her forehead. She inwardly berated herself for showing an embarrassing side in front of Yun Qingyan again.
She sat awkwardly for a long ti, not knowing what to say. The place on her forehead that was touched by Yun Qingyan’s warm fingertips seed to be burned by a fla, and it was still a bit hot even now.
The bamboo house was extrely quiet for a while. Neither ng Qi nor Yun Qingyan took the initiative to break the silence first. Only the pill cauldron behind her made a slight cracking sound from ti to ti, billowing the air with a slightly bitter dicinal fragrance.
“S-sovereign Qingyan.” After a long silence, ng Qi mustered her courage and murmured: “I…”
“ng Qi.” Yun Qingyan asked suddenly: “Did you dislike it?”
“Huh?” ng Qi was stunned. She subconsciously raised her head and looked at the man in confusion.
The white-robed young man seed to sigh again. Then he raised his hand and reached out to ng Qi’s forehead. As they lightly fell on ng Qi’s forehead, the slightly warm fingertips were far warr than the sunlight that shone into the room.
“Did you dislike it?” Yun Qingyan repeated the question.
ng Qi suddenly froze. Her eyes widened as she stared at Yun Qingyan in a daze. The warm touch on her forehead, the slightly cold fragrance from the man’s body…as soon as she raised her eyes, ng Qi could see Yun Qingyan’s wide sleeves hanging in front of her eyes, along with a slender, perfect hand that was so close within her reach.
“I…” ng Qi murmured again. Her brain was totally in chaos.
