Chapter 336 Prefers Light Portions
He had no scheming mind; he was as calm as still water, but he was also a candidate for the position of young lord!
She shrank back, but she was still terribly cold and kept shivering.
"Will this snow stop anytime soon? We may have to wait until the secret realm you mentioned changes before we part ways."
Qianqiu Chang'an remained very calm, speaking without any inflection, as if he would have said the same thing to anyone in front of him.
"How did we come to meet? Where is Miss Xuanyuan?"
Zhongli Yueluo still wanted to ask tentatively, just in case he had come to her door on purpose?
Qianqiu Chang'an shook his head, his eyes fixed on the snow outside the cave, and he even reached out to feel the temperature.
"I don't know, maybe they're sheltering from the snow somewhere else."
Zhongli Yueluo bit her finger and curled up into a ball to keep warm.
"What is your purpose in entering the secret realm together? You're not targeting Yan Ruoyu, are you?"
Zhongli Yueluo was certain that Qianqiu Chang'an wouldn't do anything to her.
If you wanted to hurt her, you could have just let her freeze to death in the snowfield.
"I'm just worried about your safety and also looking for some opportunities."
He turned his head, his face seemingly expressionless, but if you look closely, is he smiling?
"Is he looking for an opportunity, or a chance to get rid of Yan Ruoyu?"
Her eyes suddenly turned cold, as cold as the wind blowing outside, and she grabbed his collar, their eyes meeting.
His pupils trembled slightly, and his heart beat a little faster. It wasn't that he was attracted to the woman in front of him, but rather he was wondering why.
Why is it that even though they've only known each other for a short time, she seems to be truly open and honest with Yan Ruoyu?
Moreover, judging from Yan Ruoyu's anxious expression at that time, she seemed to be genuinely worried about the girl in front of her.
He didn't believe in love at first sight; what secrets did they have between them that they couldn't hide?
"Why would someone think that way? Why would someone of the same race kill each other?"
The phrase "Chang'an through the ages" seems like a question, or perhaps a soliloquy.
Then I gently placed my hand on her small hand and patted it, and I could feel that her hand was still cold.
“Miss Yueluo, please let me go. I have no ill intentions toward Brother Ruoyu, just as I have no ill intentions toward you.”
Zhongli Yueluo knew very little about the man in front of her, and had never heard Yan Ruoyu mention their relationship.
“But I treat you differently, and your sister seems to be targeting me.”
Zhongli Yueluo's hand gradually loosened, and her hand felt trembling uncontrollably.
“My sister will do anything to get what she wants, and the family also hopes that she will be a boy.”
His lips always maintained a comfortable-looking curve, and his eyes always seemed to be curved.
They seem easy to get along with, but there's a strange sense of detachment in their eyes.
I don't know what he really wants.
"Aren't you siblings? What she wants, you don't want?"
"I have no homosexual tendencies or penchant for same-sex relationships." He rarely smiled, but his lips curved upwards slightly.
This made Zhongli Yueluo a little embarrassed. She coughed and put her arms around her knees.
"I'm referring to the position of the young ruler."
"I have no intention of competing; it's just that the tide of the family has pushed me upward. How can a wave escape the control of the ocean?"
"Oh... since you have no intention of competing, then tell me what you want. Maybe I can't help you, but I can listen."
Anyway, there's nothing to do in this cave in the vast snowfield, and there's no way to get out.
He had probably not spoken so calmly about his own affairs in a long time; he was always labeled as the eldest son of the Qianqiu Clan.
It wasn't Qianqiu Chang'an himself who, looking at this unfamiliar girl, was able to speak more fluently.
"I heard that you, Miss Yueluo, are business people?"
Zhongli Yueluo hesitated for a moment, but still nodded. What kind of business were they doing? Did they even have lives on them?
"Does that mean the outside world is very vast, and you've been to any part of the Demon Realm?"
As he spoke, his eyes flickered, as if filled with curiosity.
She recalled that, including her past and present lives, she should indeed have traveled the entire demon realm.
"how?"
"I've heard that the Heartless River is filled with seashells, the Southern Demon Mountain has a Seven-Colored Lotus Pond, and the Western Demon Mountain has a dazzling lantern festival?"
At that moment, his eyes actually lit up, like a child's—oh no, he really is a child now.
"Yes...yes, what's wrong?"
As he spoke, his eyes were filled with longing, and he drew circles on the snow with his finger.
“I was thinking, if I didn’t have the surname Qianqiu, would I also travel to different places? These places sound so beautiful.”
It turns out that this expressionless, seemingly very composed young boy actually has the heart of a wandering knight.
Zhongli Yueluo smiled gently: "How about we make a deal?"
"What deal?"
"There should be another snow bead in this snowfield. Once you find it, it's yours."
Qianqiu Chang'an laughed. She only said what was in her favor; how could that be considered a transaction?
"Of course, it's a transaction, you have to pay first, right? I'll tell you which part you want to hear first."
"Can I come with you then?"
He blurted it out without thinking, and then his eyes dimmed.
She already has so many people around her; if he goes with her, it will definitely cause them to misunderstand.
"I'm sorry, that's not what I meant. But I still want to hear why you helped Brother Ruoyu so unreservedly."
"Of course, it's because I like it."
Qianqiu Chang'an was taken aback. Could the word "like" be said so easily?
The "I like you" that's always on my lips feels so light, like it has no real weight.
Seeing that he remained silent after hearing those words, she patted his shoulder and said, "You don't understand yet."
“Our clans only care about interests, so your so-called liking is really puzzling.”
He was speaking the truth; this was a common problem among clan members, since they couldn't truly be themselves.
Zhongli Yueluo didn't answer, but just looked at her hands and rubbed them together. The snow cave looked quite deep.
They could go inside.
“Let’s go. Sitting here won’t help. What else do you want to hear? Let’s talk as we walk.”
"The safest course of action is to avoid wandering around."
“You’re too conservative to find any opportunities. Let’s go!” Zhongli Yueluo stood up, tilted her head, and stretched out a hand.
It was as if, in this dark cave, her dark blue eyes were shining brightly, and he saw his own expressionless self reflected in her eyes.
A light appeared in her eyes, and perhaps the reason they were interested in her was because of the light in her eyes.
Who doesn't like new things from the outside world? He placed his hand on hers, and she pulled him away forcefully.
It was icy cold, but her smile was sunny and warm. At least in his Qianqiu clan, no one had ever smiled at him like that.
