Chapter 345: Why Is This Happening
Yuwen Lianyan laughed like a little fox, saying, "You still haven't figured out my intentions. Why are you so upset?"
The Tree Hollow Daoist huffed angrily, "Then what exactly are your intentions?"
Yuwen Lianyan leaned close to both of their ears and whispered something.
The Incense Cigarette Nun clapped her hands repeatedly, exclaiming, "Brilliant plan, truly a brilliant plan!"
"Hehe, Fairy of Mist and Haze, your idea is not bad; I support you!" The Tree Hollow Daoist smiled in agreement but then realized something and pointed at Yuwen Lianyan, saying, "In the end, you still have your own motives and are plotting against that Xiao Yun!"
"Uh, you figured that out too?" Yuwen Lianyan chuckled.
The Tree Hollow Daoist sighed and shook his head, "You shameless old woman! With an Idiot disciple by your side, I knew you were trying to scheme against him but couldn't act directly. Now you've turned your attention to Xiao Yun. At over seventy years old, I really don't know what to say about you!"
"Pfft, am I that old?" Yuwen Lianyan was displeased and rolled her eyes. "Where do you see me as old? Does an eighteen-year-old girl have skin as fair and smooth as mine? Look at this pair of Beautiful Peaks on my chest; how perky they are..."
As she spoke, she intentionally pushed her chest forward, almost bumping into the Tree Hollow Daoist's nose.
"Anyway, you want to be an old cow eating tender grass; to be precise, you're an old woman eating young men!" the Tree Hollow Daoist shouted defiantly.
"Hey, have I eaten you? You nosy stinky Daoist! Who are you to meddle in my affairs?" Yuwen Lianyan was furious and lunged at him.
The Incense Cigarette Nun smiled wryly and said, "Enough of this nonsense. Right now, we should focus on serious matters and discuss who will go to America to meet with Wilson!"
"Yuwen Lianyan said, 'This glorious and great mission will be entrusted to Tree Hollow Daoist!'"
...
One day, the Flower Exhibition made the name of Drunken Beauty Company known throughout the Galactic District. The next day, Qiu Yue was set to return to Panlong Mountain, and Xiao Yun, not wanting her to be too tired, took her to his villa to rest early.
The Flower Exhibition was originally scheduled for three days, and the explanation tasks for the flowers on the last two days were handed over to Zhu Yan Hong.
Since some people had come to Panlong Mountain and there was a need to host relevant city leaders and media, An Yiran arranged for dinner at a large hotel in the evening. However, Qiu Yue did not like crowds and was unwilling to go to the hotel. This conveniently allowed Xiao Yun to think that he could have a private chat with her.
An Yiran was the legal representative of the company, and with her and Takahashi Yukiko in charge of the banquet, everything was fine. Xiao Yun went to the supermarket to buy some fresh ingredients and prepared several dishes in the villa.
This was Qiu Yue's first time tasting Xiao Yun's cooking.
"It smells amazing! When did you learn to cook like this?" Qiu Yue asked with a smile as she looked at Xiao Yun.
Xiao Yun replied with a grin, "This is my natural talent! My mom said I could cook as soon as I was born!"
His words made Qiu Yue laugh lightly.
Being with this man in front of her always made her feel so happy. In fact, she knew that if she didn't go to the hotel for dinner, Xiao Yun would definitely stay behind to keep her company.
Qiu Yue said, "Now that I'm here, why didn't you let me meet your mother?"
Xiao Yun replied, "My stepdad took her out of town for a trip. She doesn't know I'm involved in the Flower Exhibition; otherwise, she would definitely want to meet you, her future daughter-in-law!"
His words made Qiu Yue feel extremely shy, her face turning crimson.
She lowered her head and softly said, "Xiao Yun, I recently realized that there are so many women around you. Do you like me?"
"Of course, Autumn Moon. Why would you say that? The first time I saw you in the painting, I felt that you were meant for me!" Xiao Yun spoke the truth.
Not only was Qiu Yue extraordinarily beautiful, but there was also a certain aura about her that deeply attracted him.
That unique aura she possessed was something only Duan Qingxue had as well.
"Thank you, Xiao Yun!" Qiu Yue's expression suddenly changed after hearing his words, and she sighed, "But you know, I cannot be your wife!"
Xiao Yun understood that she was thinking about her bones being refined by Death Flower and comforted her, saying, "Autumn Moon, don't worry. I will find a way to help you get rid of the Death Flower Poison."
He thought to himself that as long as he could uncover Qiu Yue's background before her amnesia, he would definitely find the person who had refined her bones with Death Flower. At that time, he would spare no effort to help her find a way to detoxify.
Today, the one who called herself the Fairy of Mist and Haze, Yuwen Lianyan, had initially given him a glimmer of hope in searching for Qiu Yue's background. However, that woman suddenly disappeared along with those two—what were they called? Tree Hollow Daoist and Incense Cigarette Nun.
The arrival of those three was strange, and their departure was equally baffling.
But Xiao Yun also knew that people who had immersed themselves in the Ancient Martial Arts Sect for a long time often had peculiar personalities; some behaviors were simply beyond the understanding of contemporary society.
"What if you can't find a way to detoxify?" Qiu Yue asked tentatively.
Xiao Yun naturally understood what she meant. He moved his chair closer and sat beside her, half-embracing her slender waist as he smiled and said, "If I really can't find a solution, I won't easily let you go. You will always be my woman!"
"Sometimes men say things to make women happy, but I still believe in you!" Qiu Yue lightly kissed his face with her lips.
This kiss made Xiao Yun's heart flutter.
"Autumn Moon, can I kiss you?"
"No, I'm eating right now, my lips are all greasy..."
"It's okay, I want to kiss your greasy lips."
"No way, that's disgusting!"
But Xiao Yun still leaned in, and Qiu Yue quickly turned her face away.
"Just one kiss!" Xiao Yun eagerly turned her face back and pressed his lips against her red ones.
"Ugh..."
Qiu Yue anxiously pushed against his chest with both hands, embarrassedly closing her eyes.
She wanted to struggle, but her whole body had already softened.
"Don't..." But when she noticed Xiao Yun's hand slipping under the hem of her clothes, trying to move towards her chest, she hurriedly pushed him away.
"Please, let me go..."
Two drops of tears fell from the corners of her eyes.
"I'm sorry, Autumn Moon, I was too impulsive!" Xiao Yun exclaimed, quickly letting go of her hand in fright.
Qiu Yue blushed as she adjusted her clothes, panting lightly, "Xiao Yun, please don't blame me. I was really scared..."
She was afraid of the Death Flower on her body.
Xiao Yun knew her thoughts all too well, which only fueled his anger. No matter what, he was determined to find the person who had used the Death Flower to refine her bones in this lifetime.
What kind of person was that? Why did she have to do this?
Was that person's purpose to prevent her from interacting with men?
"Autumn Moon, don't be afraid. I'm here..." Until he found a way to break the poison of the Death Flower on her, he truly didn't know how to comfort her.
After finishing dinner and once Qiu Yue's mood had calmed down a bit, Xiao Yun took her upstairs to show her around his villa.
"Xiao Yun, your villa is really quite large!" Qiu Yue said with a smile.
Xiao Yun chuckled and replied, "If you like it, I'll give it to you!"
"I wouldn't want that," Qiu Yue said. "I still prefer Panlong Mountain. The air there is good, and the scenery is beautiful. I want to live there for the rest of my life!"
After chatting for a while, Xiao Yun led her to his bedroom, where a portrait he had painted of Duan Qingxue hung on the wall.
Xiao Yun pointed at the portrait of Duan Qingxue and asked Qiu Yue, "Look, who does this beauty resemble?"
Qiu Yue followed his finger and raised her eyes to see the portrait of Duan Qingxue.
Suddenly, she trembled all over, and her face turned pale.
At the same time, Qiu Yue took two steps forward, staring intently at the Duan Qingxue in the painting, murmuring to herself, "This... why does she look so familiar? She—" Suddenly, she turned to face Xiao Yun and asked with a trembling voice, "How do you have a portrait of me from before?"
Upon hearing Qiu Yue's words, Xiao Yun was stunned as if struck by a thunderbolt!
What did she just say?
This was clearly a portrait of Duan Qingxue; how could she say it was her portrait from before?
Does that mean Qiu Yue used to look like Duan Qingxue?
But how did her appearance change to what it is now?
Why is this happening?
