Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Su Qing observed her surroundings. This was a remote forest where few people were seen. The disaster victims did not dare to go deep. No one would come in the middle of the afternoon. She took off her clothes and went into the river to bathe.
First, she washed her clothes with the river water and laid them on a big rock. The sun was intense, and they would dry in a while.
Su Qing turned around and jumped into the river to swim to her heart’s content. She had not been so relaxed for a long time. She was like a pure white mermaid, inspiring the most beautiful oil painting in the water.
Ji Shuisheng rushed into the forest but did not find Su Qing. He found the river by coincidence. He was thirsty and wanted to drink a mouthful of water before looking for Su Qing. He did not expect to see a scene that made his blood boil.
Her body, as white as jade, rippled on the pale green water’s surface. Her arms and legs stretched harmoniously, and her black hair spread out. She looked like a water elf dancing gracefully.
Ji Shuisheng’s pupils constricted, and blood rushed to his face. His body expanded and tightened uncontrollably. A voice in his heart shouted at him, ‘Peeping at a woman bathing is not a gentleman’s behavior. It’s not right to look at her; it’s not right to look at her….’
However, his body was sincere. He could not control his gaze at all. He stared at the fairy-like woman without looking sideways. His nose suddenly heated up, and blood flowed out.
Ji Shuisheng quickly covered his nose with his hand. At this moment, the woman in the water flipped over and paddled her slender arms on her back. Her two slim long legs kicked the water’s surface. Ji Shuisheng saw everything that he should not see.
Who could withstand this?
Ji Shuisheng covered his bleeding nose and ran away. If he continued to watch, he would not be able to control the power in his body.
When Su Qing heard the sound, her entire body sank into the water, revealing only her pretty face. Her sharp eyes looked toward the direction of the sound and saw Ji Shuisheng’s back as he fled in a sorry state.
Su Qing paddled on the water surface with one hand and suddenly found this scene funny. Ji Shuisheng was like an innocent youth who was scared away by her.
Su Qing slowly swam back to the stone. Her clothes were still wet. She threw them into the system and asked Xiao Qi to dry them for her.
Xiao Qi took the clothes and ran to the medicine drying machine. It didn’t take long for the clothes to be dried.
Su Qing put on her clothes and sat on a giant rock to comb her wet hair. Her black hair was like a black waterfall, smooth and cascading.
It wasn’t like when she had just transmigrated with a head full of dry grass. This was because of Xiao Qi’s contribution and also because she had enough nutrients to follow.
Ji Shuisheng finally managed to stop his nosebleed and dared not go to the river anymore. He feared that Su Qing would find out and think he was a lecher.
However, the curves of the water were exquisite, and the jade-white body kept swaying in front of his eyes. He hurriedly chanted the Diamond Sutra to calm himself down.
The Diamond Sutra could calm one’s mind. After reciting half of it, his impetuous heart slowly calmed down. It was difficult for him to stop thinking about the mermaid in the water, but the mermaid came alone.
“What are you doing here?”
Her cold voice was still emotionless. Her voice was not loud, but it sounded like being struck by lightning in Ji Shuisheng’s ears. Even the Diamond Sutra could not save him.
The blood that had stopped flowing from his nose started to flow again. Ji Shuisheng covered his nose with his hand in a sorry state. He dared not turn around because he did not want Su Qing to see him like this.
Su Qing found his actions funny. For some reason, she wanted to tease him. She leaned forward and moved to the left side of Ji Shuisheng’s cheek. She asked softly,
“How long have you been here?”
A faint fragrance assailed his nose, and he could feel the heat of her face. Her breath was like orchids, and the heat drilled into his ears. Ji Shuisheng jumped up like a spring and quickly explained,
“I just arrived.”
Su Qing looked at him with her hands behind her back. Her cold face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost as she asked in a deep voice,
“What did you see?”
“I saw you taking a shower.”
Ji Shuisheng felt that Su Qing had already discovered him, so there was no need to hide and not dare to admit it. He looked at Su Qing’s dark eyes. Her eyes were gorgeous, but they were too cold. It was so cold that he wanted to turn into a ball of fire and roast her.
“Do you want to dig out your own eyes, or do you want me to do it?”
Su Qing stretched out two slender fingers. When she first transmigrated, her hands were like chicken claws. They had been soaked in cold water for a long time and were deformed.
This was something Su Qing couldn’t bear. After taking Xiao Qi’s medicine, her hands returned to how a girl should look. They were delicate, soft, slender, and pretty. The pink nails on her jade-like fingers shone faintly under the sun. Just looking at her hands, she was a beauty.
However, coupled with her cold expression and sinister tone, it made people’s hearts unable to ripple. If it were a timid man, he would be frightened by her.
However, the person she met was Ji Shuisheng. Not only was he not afraid, he even smiled at Su Qing.
“I have to dig out my own wife’s eyes?”
Su Qing looked at him in shock.
“Who is your wife?”
“You, you kissed me in the cave. Since you kissed me, you’re mine. If you’re not my wife, who else can you be? Let’s see who dares not let their daughter-in-law go!”
Ji Shuisheng looked at Su Qing with a smile. His words were domineering, and his expression was even more determined.
“I had no other way to save you.”
Su Qing rolled his eyes at him. Because Su Qing still had the heart to argue, Ji Shuisheng knew she was not so heartless. He said even more boldly,
“I don’t care. You have tainted my innocence, so you have to take responsibility.”
Su Qing raised her palm in anger. Ji Shuisheng did not dodge but took a step forward and put his face in front of Su Qing’s face. His magnetic voice seemed to carry an electric current as it rang in Su Qing’s ear,
“Beating is love; scolding is love. As long as you can bear to do it, then hit!”
“Rascal.”
Su Qing didn’t go down to kill him. She grabbed Ji Shuisheng’s arm and wanted to throw him out. Ji Shuisheng grabbed Su Qing’s hand and held her in his arms with his other hand. He raised his eyes and looked at Su Qing flirtatiously. The last part of his voice made people’s hearts waver.
“You’re not a scoundrel with your wife.”
“If you don’t believe me, I dare to kill you?”
Su Qing frowned as she looked at the reckless man in her arms. She would not have saved him if she had known that he was so shameless. She struggled hard but failed to break free. Her raised hand was in mid-air. The sunlight shone through her white palm, turning it pink.
” If you want to kill me, I’ll die for you. I’ll die under the peony flowers as a ghost.”
Ji Shuisheng had changed from his usual sharp, cold demeanor to a glib tongue. Su Qing looked into his fine eyes, and the hint of coquettishness at the corner of his eyes made her heart throb.
His male body was as hard as iron, and his appearance was rugged. Would he still go back on his words?
Su Qing’s palm didn’t hit Ji Shuisheng’s head, but it still fell. It landed on his face and left five red handprints.
Ji Shuisheng covered his face and looked at Su Qing with a bright smile. Although he was beaten, he was happy. Su Qing was reluctant to kill him, proving she had him in her heart.
Since the last time he confessed to her, there had been no substantial progress between them. Today was an opportunity that he had to seize firmly. He let go of Su Qing’s arm and tightly hugged the cold-faced little woman..
