Chapter 620 - 0361 Watch Half-Demon (Two-in-One)
Smoke and water blend on the green waves, mist gradually spreads across the lake, constantly causing ripples and rocking the painted boats above.
A bit of smoke rain falls from the sky, passing through the umbrella onto Miss Aqing’s shoulder, bringing not a touch of coolness, but rather complicating her mood further.
She lowers her head.
Discovering the ordinary Little Cyan Snake she nurtures is also staring at Yun Qian.
"..."
Earlier, Miss Aqing suspected she was a cheap person, just a simple, cliché hero saving the beauty stirred her slightly.
But after seeing Yun Qian in the rain, she knew, she was not... or not merely a cheap woman, but even quite superficial.
Both superficial and cheap.
Perhaps, good-looking people tend to like themselves?
Miss Aqing sighed deeply, feeling her mental realm had been disrupted by a calamity, indeed she needed to rest and recuperate for a while.
"..."
As Miss Aqing was observing Yun Qian, Yun Qian was also looking at her.
Miss Yun was puzzled why someone was staring at her for so long, but not speaking, just sighing.
Quite unclear.
Yet, she forgot Xu Chang’an, beside her, witnessed all this, revealing a knowing smile.
See.
As long as he’s with Miss Yun, both men’s and women’s eyes would be wholly drawn to her.
Such is the case in Beisang City, and it’ll be the same in Chaoyun Sect.
Therefore, the one who should be jealous is clearly himself.
Smiling.
Xu Chang’an thought having a wife like her, if there are really husbands in the world who are fickle, the concubines brought home would soon turn into fans of the wife.
By then, the fickle men should be punished to die lonely.
If he truly were fickle, that would be his fate.
Such was Xu Chang’an’s thinking, he firmly believed that with just spending some time with Miss Yun, even women would surely grow fond of her.
Mm.
The atmosphere felt fixed, so Xu Chang’an gently coughed.
"..."
Beside him, Miss Aqing suddenly awoke, a blush rising to her face.
"Forgive me."
To be enamored with a girl was something no one would have believed in the past.
"Master, the Unfastened Boat is just ahead." To ease the awkwardness, she pointed to the distance.
Xu Chang’an nodded, naturally walked over to hold Yun Qian’s hand, looking together toward where she pointed.
There by the lakeside, the broad river converged at one place, while the painted boats were numerous, yet by the shore, there was a particularly conspicuous, towering, and lantern-adorned Stone Ship, reflecting colorful paint.
A massive stone.
The Stone Ship was embedded at the lakeside; rather than a painted boat, it seemed more like a structure on water, resting on a bluestone platform, though efforts were made to immerse the stone in water, no matter how viewed, it was hard to consider it a ship.
"This is the Unfastened Boat?" Xu Chang’an blinked, somewhat surprised, "I thought it was a painted boat."
He had envisioned the evening banquet on a colorful boat on the lake, only to see it was a Stone Ship.
No wonder it’s called "Unfastened Boat," the big ship is embedded at the shore, certainly does not need to be tied.
"Master."
Miss Aqing endeavored to shift her gaze from Miss Yun’s hand to Xu Chang’an’s face, softly saying, "It’s not to say the banquet is on this Unfastened Boat, just a transition place. To know where it precisely is, you’ll decide after meeting Ms. Zhu."
"Understood." Xu Chang’an nodded.
Miss Aqing blinked and said, "Miss Yun hasn’t taken a pleasure boat in Beisang City before, right?"
Yun Qian is a homebody.
Like Shi Qingjun, hasn’t stepped out of that street for over a year.
"No." Xu Chang’an shook his head.
"It’s Miss Yun’s first visit, naturally she’ll use the Unfastened Boat," Miss Aqing said, "It’s not a hassle, but Ms. Zhu’s thoughtfulness."
"..." Xu Chang’an paused, then heard Miss Aqing speak softly.
"The so-called Unfastened Boat refers not to painted boats, but stone buildings made in water, only carved to look like small boats, after all... While rare, there’s no shortage of people who suffer from seasickness or are not skilled swimmers."
She blinked, "Unsure whether Miss Yun would get seasick, meeting on Unfastened Boat... you should understand Ms. Zhu’s intentions."
At least at this moment, Miss Aqing spoke for Zhu Pingniang as a girl from the Flower Moon Building.
"I see." Xu Chang’an realized.
Indeed, he hadn’t thought that far.
Clearly... in terms of meticulous thinking, he was still lacking compared to Senior Zhu.
He still needed to cultivate.
"Then that’s that, Master, just proceed to the Unfastened Boat yourself... I have other matters to handle first..."
Miss Aqing bowed, then looked at Yun Qian, about to do the same courtesy, unexpectedly interrupted by a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old girl in yellow attire rushing over to hug her waist.
"Miss Qing, why did you come so late, everyone’s waiting for you."
The young girl hugged Miss Aqing tightly, like a kitten, rubbing against her:
"Sister, you kept Steward Lu waiting for quite a while, aren’t you afraid Steward Lu gets angry? But rest assured, Ms. Xue spoke well on your behalf. But now you mustn’t keep the steward waiting any longer, her face is dark, and the sisters are all scared."
The young girl rushed all the way, bumped into her arms, then chattered nonstop.
"..." Miss Aqing.
