Chapter 53: Time is Quiet

"Lingxi, do you like me?"

This question is familiar, because Leng Feiye asked the same question not long ago. So she knew what to answer.

"Long Xichen, you are my friend, I like you as my friend."

"Just friends?"

"I can only marry Brother Feiye."

Mu Lingxi thought that she would marry if she said she liked it, so she only liked Leng Feiye.

"Don't pretend to him in front of me in the future."

Long Xichen jumped and flew off the ground. If he didn't leave, he didn't know what he would do.

Mu Lingxi also fell into deep thought. Even if she was sluggish, she could tell that something was wrong. This time Long Xichen was very different from the last time she saw her. He seemed to be more irritable and spoke strangerly.

The afternoon breeze was a little warm, but Mu Lingxi suddenly felt a little cold. A strange abruptness arose, and she wanted to sort it out, but she couldn't do it. For the first time, she felt that she was a little stupid, and she couldn't even get along with her friends. She cherishes this friendship, but it seems that she thinks she has screwed up.

Looking at Long Xichen's back on the roof, Mu Lingxi suddenly thought, maybe they shouldn't have been friends in the first place. She wanted to steal his sword from the beginning, and it was normal that he didn't want to be friends with her...... However, there was a time when they didn't get along very well and were very happy? If he really didn't want to be friends with her, why did he save her again and again?

Inexplicably, a grievance surged in Mu Lingxi's heart.

Grievance, this kind of emotion is also unfamiliar to Mu Lingxi. Because in the past, in addition to trying her best to live, all other emotions were luxuries and useless things.

Long Xichen looked into the distance, as if he wanted to see through everything in the world, but even the tile under his feet was covered with a thick layer of dust, so that he couldn't distinguish the original color.

Long Xichen couldn't tell when he fell in love with Mu Lingxi, and by the time he realized it, she had already taken deep roots in his heart.

It shouldn't have been, but it happened irresistibly. She was the blue-eyed man of the prophecy, and he was the one who was destined to kill her...... Why does all this have to be the way it is?

Long Xichen's thoughts were very chaotic, and he couldn't figure it out. Sometimes he even hopes that Mu Lingxi can take the initiative and force him to the point where there is no way out, so that he can no longer find an excuse to retreat, so that he can be more duty-free. However, Mu Lingxi is a dull master who makes people crazy. Don't say that she takes the initiative, that is, if you don't say it very bluntly, she won't think about it that way......

The dappled sunlight gradually dimmed in the silence of the courtyard.

Mu Lingxi sat quietly in the courtyard for an afternoon, while Long Xichen stood on the roof for an afternoon.

"Long Xichen ......"

Mu Lingxi finally pulled herself out of all kinds of inexplicable thoughts, she thought, whether she can continue to be friends or not, she still has to make her words clear.

Long Xichen didn't really mean to be angry, he was just worried about his difficult situation. So Mu Lingxi took the initiative to call him, and he immediately returned to her.

"Long Xichen, although you don't want to be friends with me anymore, I'm still grateful for everything you did for me before......"

This woman ...... Does she know what she's talking about? Where did she think of it? Sure enough, it's stupid!!

Having said this, Mu Lingxi found that she couldn't say the next words anymore. Her eyes were filled with wetness at some point, and she looked at the tears dripping from her fingertips in disbelief. For some reason, my heart suddenly felt so painful, and it hurt so much that it was hard to breathe.

"Stupid!"

Long Xichen jerked her into his arms.

"I'm really curious sometimes about what this woman of yours has in her head, how can you be so stupid!"

The corners of Yan Yi and Yan Er's mouths twitched vigorously, thinking, Your Highness, in this regard, you are actually stronger than her.

Mu Lingxi raised his head a little dazedly, stared at Long Xichen, and saw his face full of helplessness and concern...... Is he still caring about me?

"Long Xichen, please can you not do this in the future...... Don't be happy and unhappy, I don't even know what I've done wrong......"

"Fool, you're the stupidest fool in the world."

"In that case, what do you care about me doing?"

"I can only say that I am more stupid than you."

"Poof", Mu Lingxi was amused by Long Xichen talking seriously about his own stupid appearance.

"Long Xichen, you see that you look good and cute when you're not angry, why are you always angry?"

"Do you like me, then?"

The air seemed to freeze in an instant.

How do you want Mu Lingxi to answer this? She must like it, or she wouldn't be friends with him. But if she told someone that she liked him and that she was going to marry him, then she couldn't say that again, because she had promised Brother Feiye......

"Long Xichen ......"

"I don't want to hear any explanations, I just want to hear you say like it or not."

Mu Lingxi pondered for a moment and asked tentatively, "Then can I ask you a question?"

"Yes!"

"If a woman tells a man that she likes him, then she has to marry him?"

Hearing this, Long Xichen's eyes narrowed slightly, and no one could see what he was thinking.

"Like is like, marrying is marrying, these are two different things."

"Really?"

Mu Lingxi is not sure, she always feels that she should like it before she gets married. But I think Long Xichen seems to be reasonable, because friends also have to like them to be friends.

"Then I like you, like a friend's."

In the second half of the sentence, Long Xichen automatically ignored it, in his understanding, Mu Lingxi didn't understand what friends didn't like at all. All he had to do was know that she liked him, and that was the kind of liking that women like men. It's just that she's stupid and can't tell the difference.

"Mu Lingxi, remember what you said."

Mu Lingxi wondered why he always said this.

"Long Xichen, how did you know that I was in the Earth Dragon Forest?"

"Yan Yi and Yan Er, they went out to run errands, and they happened to see you when they passed over the Earth Dragon Forest."

So that's the case, Mu Lingxi suddenly realized.

Leng Feiye did a lot of calculations, but he didn't calculate that such a coincidence really happened.

"Mu Lingxi, I'll teach you the second weight of the Double Dragon Recipe in two days."

Hearing Long Xichen mention the Double Dragon Formula, Mu Lingxi remembered again that the female scale sword was taken away by Leng Feiye.

"But the female scale sword was taken away by Brother Feiye."

A cold light flashed in Long Xichen's eyes, and his heart was clear.

"It's okay, I'll teach you the mantra first, and then practice more when you go back and get the sword back, okay?"

"Good!"

"And ......"

"What else?"

"This is a Thousand Sound Stone, no matter how far away we are, as long as you inject spiritual power into it, you can talk to me through it."

Yan Yi and Yan Er, who were in the dark, saw what Long Xichen took out, and their faces changed instantly. Is this crazy, Your Highness? He actually gave her the dragon scales, what if it was ......

Mu Lingxi looked at the semicircular object that Long Xichen handed over in amazement, glowing with a faint black light and mixed with a trace of colorful glow.

"Is this really that amazing?"

Isn't this the equivalent of a walk-in in a training camp?

"Well, it's just ......"

"Just what?"

Mu Lingxi stretched out her hand to take the Thousand Sound Stone, and suddenly a warm meaning spread to her palm.

"It's just a secret between us, okay?"

Mu Lingxi was silent for a moment and asked, "Can't even Brother Feiye know?"

Long Xichen thought to himself, it was him who was guarded against.

"Mu Lingxi, are you willing to keep a little secret for your friend?"

Mu Lingxi thought for a while, and finally nodded. She didn't know why Long Xichen didn't want Leng Feiye to know about this Thousand Sound Stone, but thinking that it wouldn't hurt Leng Feiye, she agreed to Long Xichen's request.

"Okay, I won't tell Brother Feiye."

"By the way, are you hungry? Do you want to eat? ”

Hearing Long Xichen mention what to eat, Mu Lingxi remembered that there were still a lot of roast chickens in her space.

"I have a lot of Xianyaju's roast chicken here, whether you eat it or not, it's delicious."

Long Xichen's eyes were confused, and he couldn't really see what he was thinking. I only heard him say, "I'll give you grilled fish to eat, will you eat it?"

Mu Lingxi looked at him in surprise, "You can also grill fish?" ”

"I can try!"

"So this is your first bake?"

"There is a first time for everything, isn't it just grilled fish, nothing difficult."

Yan Yi was forced to work, thinking, Your Highness, you are not difficult, but do you know how much effort Yan Er and I spent to wash those fish for you?

Mu Lingxi hadn't roasted it either, so she stood aside and watched the ingenious Long Xichen clumsily set up the fire stand, then threw out a spiritual fireball and began to grill the fish.

"So you can grill delicious fish?"

"Hmm!"

Long Xichen nodded calmly, and he didn't know where he got his confidence.

A few minutes later, Mu Lingxi smelled the smell of burnt meat. She glanced at Long Xichen with a strange look and said, "The fish seems to be mushy."

Long Xichen's face stiffened slightly, then calmly threw away the fish and said, "I'll try again."

After a while, the fish was mushy again.

Then baked, then pasted, after repeating this more than a dozen times, Mu Lingxi finally couldn't help it, "Long Xichen, let's stop wasting fish, what a good fish, it's all wasted!" ”

"Mu Lingxi ......"

Long Xichen gritted his teeth.

Mu Lingxi was full of excitement and had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, he saw that Long Xichen was aggrieved and said, "Can't you comfort me?"

Mu Lingxi wanted to laugh very much, but he didn't dare to laugh, so his little face was red.

Long Xichen glanced at her, pretending to be even more pitiful, and said, "Mu Lingxi, I'm injured."

Mu Lingxi glared at him angrily, looking at Long Xichen, who was once as cold as ice and looked down on the world, he would actually pretend to be pitiful and behaved, a little angry and funny.

"So how about eating the roast chicken I brought?"

Long Xichen turned his head, he didn't eat Leng Feiye's things.

"I'll ask Yan Yi to buy some delicious food and come back."

Hearing the delicious food, Mu Lingxi suddenly remembered the fruit tree she dug up.

"By the way, Long Xichen, I found a particularly delicious fruit in the Earth Dragon Forest, do you want to try it?"

As soon as he heard that Mu Lingxi had found it, Long Xichen immediately nodded.

When Long Xichen saw what Mu Lingxi handed over, he was surprised. What kind of luck was she, how could she always find such good things?

"You know?"

"You don't know?"

This time it was Long Xichen's turn to be shocked. He remembered that she didn't know Bing Lizhu last time, but she knew about uprooting, and if nothing else happened this time, she would do the same, right? It's a bandit.

"I don't know, it was the little snake who brought me to find it. I thought it was delicious, so I ......."

"Uprooted!"

"How do you know?"

"I guessed"

"You're crazy, how can you guess so accurately?"

Long Xichen was amused by Mu Lingxi's funny words, and a hint of laughter flowed through his bright starry eyes.

How he wished that time could stop and stay in this moment forever.

With her by her side, even if she does the stupidest thing, she is still so happy.

With her by his side, even if everything around him is empty, his heart is filled.

"Mu Lingxi ......"

He suddenly stared at her bright eyes. Even though there are thousands of words in my heart, in the end, I only turned into three words: Mu Lingxi.

"Long Xichen, is your home far from here?"

"Why do you ask?"

"If it's not far away, we can see each other often."

"You want to see me often?"

"yes......"

Suddenly, Mu Lingxi felt that Long Xichen's gaze was a little wrong, and the words behind her were stifled by her. Because of this kind of gaze, she has always seen it in Leng Feiye's eyes recently, she can't tell what it's called, but it feels familiar.

"Mu Lingxi, what would happen to you if I forcibly brought you back to my house now?"

"If you really do that, Brother Feiye will kill you."

Long Xichen's throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't go up or down in one breath, so he held it hard.

"Don't mention him yet, I'll ask you, what will happen to you?"

"Well, don't you do that often? Like now. ”

Long Xichen: "......"

"Mu Lingxi, do you know? If I die one day, I will definitely be angry with you. ”

Mu Lingxi: "......"

Long Xichen was extremely conflicted, on the one hand, he felt that it was good for Mu Lingxi to be so dull, so that those rotten peach blossoms would not be so easy to get. But on the other hand, he wanted her to understand his mind.

In fact, to put it bluntly, Long Xichen hoped that when Mu Lingxi faced him, she could understand what he wanted. When it comes to others, especially when it's cold and flying, I don't understand anything.

This in itself is a very contradictory thing, if you want to be transparent, you must be transparent, regardless of people.

"Tell me what this fruit is called."

"This is the Heavenly Heart Fruit, eating more can help cultivation, and when you encounter a bottleneck, it can also help break the bottleneck. It also helps to repair internal injuries, and in short, it is a rare treasure. If it appears in the world, it will immediately cause the major sects, officials and nobles to rob. ”

"It's so bad, no wonder my ankle injury healed so quickly that day."

"You hurt your ankle?"

"It's been around for a long time."

Long Xichen still didn't feel at ease and checked it himself, and was relieved to see that the injury had indeed healed.

"Be careful in the future, you don't really need to work that hard."
