Chapter 18: Do You Want to Be an Alchemist?
After such a delay by the enthusiastic crowd of Utan City, it was already close to noon by the time of the actual departure.
The carriage prepared by Concubine Yafei was not a wildebeest carriage known for its speed, but a cotton carriage that was comfortable enough to rank among the top few in terms of journey, and no matter what kind of terrain it was, it would not give people a sense of bumpiness.
Although it seems to be unsatisfactory in terms of speed, it is a lot slower, but at least this trip will not hurt your ass no matter how long you sit.
The interior of the luxurious carriage is empty, and the seats on both sides are wide and long, which can also be used as small beds, and the seats are covered with soft fur products, which are soft and comfortable, and you can't put it down.
Xu Le and Concubine Ya sat in the carriage alone, while the servants and guards of the Mitre family followed behind on horseback or on foot.
At this time, the atmosphere in the carriage was a little embarrassing, today's Concubine Ya was wearing a traditional palace skirt, covering the spring light from the neck down, but no matter how much she covered it, the hot figure could not be completely covered.
Riding in a car with such a goblin who touches her heart with every smile is a pleasure and torture at the same time.
Xu Le's eyes and nose, nose and mouth, mouth and heart and dantian, removed all distracting thoughts in his heart, and wanted to meditate and cultivate, but maybe it was because he didn't have the habit of cultivating at noon in the past, or because of the people around him, Xu Le couldn't calm down.
In the end, Xu Le gave up, and directly sat down on the soft seat generously, smiling, a pair of big eyes that were not very honest and glanced at Concubine Ya's delicate body, from the crystal with a little pink earlobe to the small round jade toe exposed under the palace skirt, all cast admiring eyes.
In the face of Xu Le's undisguised 'appreciative' gaze, Concubine Ya did not have the slightest timidity, and even deliberately stroked the broken hair around her ears.
When is a woman the most beautiful? There are many answers, such as when the back is slowly peeled off the silk clothes, revealing the fragrant shoulders, and when the bath comes out, the faint fragrance wafts on the slightly wet hair, etc., and there is no doubt that in Xu Le's heart, the answer to this question must be added.
The power of this provocative killing is undoubtedly huge, and Xu Le, who is not very determined, can't bear it at all, and almost spits out the apple he was chewing in one bite.
However, before Xu Le could adjust his expression back, he saw that the bright smile on Concubine Ya's face suddenly disappeared, and what rose in turn was confusion, regret and more melancholy.
"Mr. Xu, what kind of person is Concubine Ya in your eyes? Do you think I am a frivolous woman like others? Concubine Ya's autumn-like Danfeng eyes were filled with a little mist, staring at Xu Le's eyes.
Without waiting for Xu Le to answer, Concubine Ya gracefully changed her posture, lifted the curtain of the carriage, looked at the trees passing by on both sides, and her voice was tactful and low.
"Born in the Mitre family and living the life of an eldest lady, I know that there are many people who envy me, but as the eldest lady of the Mitre family, I really can't afford this name. ”
"In terms of cultivation talent, I am far inferior to others, and it took a lot of pills to break through to the fighter, in fact, what Concubine Ya envies the most is a person like Mr. Xu. ”
"You know? When I was a child, I looked up at the stars at night and made a wish on a meteor that flew by, and I wanted to be an alchemist the most, but unfortunately I didn't have this jealous talent. ”
"I have neither the talent for cultivation, nor the ability to refine medicine, all I can do is to disguise myself, I want to control my own destiny, and not to be used as a victim in exchange for family interests in the future, I can only make my heart stronger, that's all. In the end, Concubine Ya's voice became deeper and deeper.
"Ao, I'm sorry Mr. Xu, let you listen to me complain for so long, but it's really comfortable to say it, and please keep it secret, it's a little secret between the two of us." The expression on Concubine Ya's face became vivid again, and she winked her right eye at Xu Le slightly.
Another woman's most beautiful moment was discovered by Xu Le.
Concubine Ya's true feelings made the atmosphere in the carriage a little heavy, Xu Le quietly sat up straight, pestle his head and watched the scenery outside the window change, and there were many feelings in his heart.
As Xiaota said, when a world is stable, the characters in it will not be stereotyped, and they will not be monotonous words that can be easily described. Everyone has their own inner world, which is the unknown world of thought hidden in Yafei's heart.
The conflict between family interests and individuals, although old-fashioned, is also the most common-sense.
The silence in the carriage lasted for a long time, and finally Xu Le spoke.
"Miss Yafei, I think you are a very wonderful and outstanding woman. This is Xu Le's answer.
"Heh, thank you Mr. for the compliment, the little girl is so polite. Concubine Ya folded her hands on her side waist and bowed slightly.
"I mean, Miss Yafei is much better than those pavilion women who only have a big lady's temper or are delicate, and she is my type of person. Xu Le said 'seriously', and by the way, he added the word 'one' in his heart.
The gentleman laughed, but Concubine Ya was glad to be able to be pleased with him. Concubine Ya's answer was enough to make the hearts of other men surge, but Xu Le, who had heard Concubine Ya's true feelings, could hear a solid barrier.
"There is a word like Miss Yafei in our hometown that is very suitable for you. Xu Le continued.
"Oh, what's the word?" Yafei was slightly interested.
"A strong woman refers to a woman like Miss Yafei who can be outstanding, shrewd and capable. Xu Le smiled.
The gentleman praised it falsely, and the little woman was really frightened. Yafei smiled, and would no longer easily reveal her inner world to others.
Xu Le fell into a short period of contemplation, knowing that if he wanted to break through Concubine Ya's defense, these words alone were far from enough, and the carriage fell into an embarrassing atmosphere again.
"Do you want to become an alchemist?" Suddenly, Xu Le withdrew his gaze looking out of the window and looked at Concubine Ya's autumn eyes.
Hearing this, Concubine Ya's delicate body trembled obviously, and a look called longing appeared on her beautiful face, and then it disappeared in an instant.
Shaking her head, a bitter smile rose at the corner of Concubine Ya's mouth.
"How is this possible? A person's attributes are predestined by God just after birth, and I am destined to have no chance with this distant dream in this life. ”
"But have you ever heard of changing your life against the sky? Do you believe in changing your life against the sky?" asked Xu Le.
"Change your life against the sky?" said Concubine Ya's face was dazed.
"If there was an opportunity to become an alchemist in front of you, but it was destined to be very difficult, what would you choose?" Xu Le finally asked.
What do you mean by this, this kind of impossible if, there is no meaning, naturally there is no choice, Concubine Ya does not want to answer. Concubine Ya avoided talking, leaned on the windowsill, closed her eyes and recuperated, her expression was so calm that people couldn't see or guess what she was thinking.
