Zhao Shining felt a little confused. She plucked the bowstring with her fingertips. She didn't reply to Xie Linzhuo's words immediately, and she didn't know how to answer.
Xie Linzhuo took in her tangled look, and his heart gradually sank. He said in a low and hoarse voice: "Forget it, if you don't want to get married, I won't force you."
How could he forget it?
She hated him in the first place.
Zhao Shining raised her eyes and secretly glanced at him. Because of pregnancy, Xie Linzhuo looked haggard, his face was as pale as snow, there was a faint blue-black under his eyes, and his lips were pale. He was no longer the original proud and lonely, and people dared not blaspheme. Now he was like a glass jade that was about to break at any time.
But her heart did not soften at all. It was not that Zhao Shining was unwilling to make up a lie that she was willing to marry him, so that this person who was almost drowning in the water would have a life-saving straw and a false hope, so that he could continue to satisfy her demands and give birth to a few more pairs of children for her.
But Zhao Shining was unwilling to fulfill his wish so easily. Facing such a weak Xie Linzhuo, she could not avoid, inevitably had a dark desire to destroy him.
She took the lead in questioning Xie Linzhuo, with a resentful expression, but the words she said were extremely cruel, like a slow knife, cutting Xie Linzhuo.
"Master, why is Master so eager to marry me? I have sworn a solemn oath that I will never betray Master, and even stabbed myself in the back, why does Master still not believe me? Master, does Master really like me? Or is it because Master does not want to be alone anymore, without any ties, and wants to trap me in marriage for the sake of the child? Accompany you in Wuji Pavilion for the rest of your life? If so, Master would make the same choice if it were someone else."
Xie Linzhuo's bloodless lips trembled for a few moments, staring at Zhao Shining in disbelief. Zhao Shining's heartbreaking words made it difficult for him to even speak.
Inexplicably, Zhao Shining saw a bit of broken desolation in his empty eyes, as if he was shrouded in deep loneliness.
She sneered in her heart, not understanding what he was doing.
He was the one who wanted to kill her again and again, and now he is also the one who is acting so affectionately. She doesn't like to be a jerk, so she won't easily forget that he wants to kill her.
She was concerned about the child in his belly, so she didn't continue talking. She turned around and was about to leave. "Master, take good care of your pregnancy."
Xie Linzhuo's cold voice suddenly rang out: "Zhao Shining, am I so cheap?"
"Is it okay to change someone else? It turns out that I am so cheap in your heart."
The seal on his forehead gave him a little more divinity, but he could not become an immortal or a god after all. Zhao Shining's few lies made him throw away his armor and weapons, disregarding everything, and rushing to let her trample and humiliate him.
"You and I have known each other for more than ten years. I almost raised you myself. It turns out that the relationship between master and apprentice for so many years is nothing in your heart."
Zhao Shining always remembered only his harshness and indifference to her, and cut the relationship between her and him with unfounded hatred.
But Xie Linzhuo was different. He clearly remembered her playing tricks, acting like a spoiled child, crying, childishness, and even laziness, selfishness, and vanity. These things filled his originally empty life.
He watched Zhao Shining grow up with his own eyes, and remembered the nights when he tried to commit suicide countless times but failed and was covered in blood. The timid little girl was so bold as to sit beside him and accompany him to watch the sunrise and sunset again and again.
So that he couldn't put down his hand again and again, and couldn't push her away again and again.
In the end, she pierced his heart with a sword.
"Zhao Shining, you are a heartless person." Xie Linzhuo showed a bleak smile, his voice bitter.
His hand had not yet dropped from his abdomen, and in his palm was the child she gave him, the child he nourished with his flesh and blood and spiritual power.
From beginning to end, he had never thought of not wanting this child. Obviously, the medical practitioner had handed him the abortion medicine with fear and trepidation, but he still waited for her to come back in the yard without any prospects, just asking her to give him a promise.
Zhao Shining didn't expect Xie Linzhuo to accuse her so tearfully. Is this still her arrogant and always cold master?
But her heart did not soften because of this. Why did he change so much in just a few days? If you can't kill her, try to trap her with "love"?
She doesn't understand Xie Linzhuo's true thoughts, but she can see his hidden paranoia from his tone.
[It's normal. Pregnant men are sensitive and fragile. Zhao Shining, you should stabilize him. ]
Zhao Shining suppressed the doubts in his heart and temporarily stabilized his emotions.
"Master, don't be angry. I just... don't understand the twists and turns between men and women. I can't believe that Master will really like me. I thought Master just wanted the child..."
She shed a few tears of regret at the right time.
Xie Linzhuo didn't answer.
Zhao Shining's fingers tightened the force of the bow for a moment, and his expression became unusually solemn. "If Master treats me sincerely, I am willing to marry Master."
Xie Linzhuo looked at her face dipped in water. She was still immature after all. When she lied, her eyes always wandered around, and she didn't dare to look at him with a guilty conscience.
But what can he do? She dragged him into the mud. Whether it was lies or true love, he would trap her by his side.
She could only stay with him.
After a long while, he whispered, "Okay."
-----
Zhao Shining had originally agreed to marry him insincerely, and she had rejected all the complicated rules and rituals. Immortals marry by taking their heart's blood to seal the bond, kneeling down to heaven and earth, and from then on sharing the same fate, honor and disgrace, but Zhao Shining was a mortal, and taking her heart's blood was like taking half of her life.
The only thing they could do was kneel down and worship heaven and earth.
Zhao Shining thought that she could just kneel down casually and get the marriage over with, but Xie Linzhuo didn't want to be so hasty. It
was obvious that the items and clothes needed for the wedding could be transformed by magic, which was just a matter of a change of mind for the immortals.
But Xie Linzhuo took her down the mountain and went to the bustling market at the foot of Changliu Mountain. Unlike the markets in the human world, the markets in the cultivation world mostly sold spiritual fruits, weapons, talismans, and spiritual beasts that could be raised. Even if there were restaurants selling food and drinks, they were mostly for replenishing spiritual power.
Zhao Shining was dazzled. He held the spiritual fruit in his hand, chewed the fruit, and squatted beside the cage to look at the spiritual beasts. No matter how he looked at it, he thought that Wan Shu's little tiger was the cutest.
Even though Wan Shu rejected her last time, Zhao Shining was still determined and kept thinking about kidnapping Wan Shu.
"Let's go."
Xie Linzhuo patted Zhao Shining's shoulder, holding a few lifelike sugar figures in his hands.
Zhao Shining walked along the street and finally stopped at the most majestic and prosperous building on the street.
She looked up at the golden characters on the plaque. She didn't know many characters, but she still read them out: "Jinxiu Building."
Zhao Shining looked at the several female cultivators in bright and beautiful clothes in front of the door, sighing at the jewelry and vestments in the shop. Some of them picked and chose for a long time to buy a hairpin. She saw the pain on their faces when they paid the spirit stone. She took another bite of the spirit fruit, "Master, let's go." After
all, Wuji Pavilion was empty everywhere, and she didn't think Xie Linzhuo would be particularly rich. After all, spirit stones could not be transformed, not to mention that immortals had no desires and no places to spend spirit stones.
"Want it? Then go in." Xie Linzhuo took the lead and walked into Jinxiu Building.
Zhao Shining didn't even have time to stop him. She could only follow him out of Jinxiu Tower with tears in her eyes. She had even imagined in her mind the scene of being driven out if she didn't have any spirit stones. However
, as soon as she stepped into the door, she saw the portrait in the center of the hall. The immortal in white clothes was holding a cold sword in his hand, and the incense burner on the altar was curling with smoke.
The people in Jinxiu Tower were already kneeling in the room. Among them, an old man kept crying and calling Xie Linzhuo "Young Master".
"Is this... the property of the Xie family?"
Zhao Shining squeezed out this sentence slowly from his throat.
You know, there is not even a stone table or stone bench in the courtyard of Wuji Pavilion, especially Xie Linzhuo's bedroom. Even the bed she slept on a few days ago was conjured by him on the spot. There was nothing else in the room except a bookshelf and desk.
The small bed and table and chairs in her room - she cut down trees and made them herself! ! !
Xie Linzhuo's silence answered her doubts.
"Then you made me suffer so much following you for so many years." Zhao Shining said angrily.
"I don't care, I want all the jewelry and robes in this Jinxiu Building, this is your compensation to me!" Zhao Shining said to Xie Linzhuo bluntly, regardless of the opinions of the people around him. The
Xie family has been a family of scholars and immortals since ancient times, but in Xie Linzhuo's generation, he is the only one who can cultivate immortals. His parents, brothers and sisters have long been annihilated in the dust of a hundred years, leaving him alone in this world.
To him, the Xie family's property is nothing but a thing outside of his body, and he has never asked about it over the years, but unexpectedly this can attract Zhao Shining's attention.
A key suddenly appeared in his hand and he handed it to Zhao Shining.
Zhao Shining took the key and looked at him strangely, "What is this?"
The old man on the other side hurriedly said, "This is the key to the Xie family's private vault. There are countless treasures of heaven and earth, gold and silver. Only the mistress of the Xie family can own it. In addition, owning this key is equivalent to controlling the entire Xie family industry."
"The entire Xie family industry?" Zhao Shining was shocked for a moment, holding the small key in a daze.
On the other side, the servants of Jinxiu Building have begun to put clothes and jewelry into storage bags.
Zhao Shining secretly glanced at the prices, ranging from a few thousand high-grade spirit stones to tens of thousands of high-grade spirit stones, and in the system, one thousand points can only be exchanged for one thousand high-grade spirit stones.
[Woo, woo, woo, don't abandon me, after all, you don't even have a low-grade spirit stone in your pocket. A big woman should be independent, right? We shouldn't spend men's money, we have to make money ourselves. 】
"Why not for free if you can?" Zhao Shining retorted in his heart, and accepted the key to the private vault with peace of mind.
The feeling of becoming rich overnight was too wonderful. Zhao Shining stared at the key, looking left and right, and the more she looked, the happier she felt. In the past few days, she had the divine bow made of thousands of years of ice, and the wealth she had brought. All these things almost made her faint with happiness.
On the other side, Xie Linzhuo gently stroked the red cloth woven with phoenix feathers.
"Sir, there is only one piece of this phoenix feather cloth in the world. It can only be embroidered with spiritual power. If you need it, I will arrange for an embroiderer to make a wedding dress for your wife overnight." The old man said hurriedly.
"No need, I can do it myself."
How could he allow others to handle the wedding dress she wore.
Xie Linzhuo cast a dark gaze at Zhao Shining. Zhao Shining didn't know what happened, and rarely showed him a sincere smile.
