Zhuxian Prequel: Wilderness

Chapter 45 Prophecy

Suzaku's face sank under the black veil, and he sneered and said, "From the desert to the wild, through the sand dance maze and then to this small lake oasis, this road clearly leads directly to our wild temple, you think I'm Can't a fool see that?"

Wan Jian couldn't help but glanced at her more, and then showed a smile. Under the starlight, his figure seemed to be extraordinarily chic, and even the smile made people's hearts flutter, and said: "I never thought that girl, you are so handsome." clever."

Suzaku's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help being a little proud, but then he came to his senses and was secretly annoyed, thinking that there was no joy in this stinky man's compliment!Then he snorted and said, "What exactly do you want to do?"

Wan Jian smiled and said, "Can I not say it?"

Suzaku glared at him, knowing in his heart that he might not be able to ask anything from this guy, but the more he looked at him, the more disgusting he became, and when he moved, he couldn't help but want to fight him again.

As soon as Wan Jian saw her movements, he quickly waved his hands and said, "Miss Suzaku, it's rare that the night is so beautiful. You and I just misunderstood before, and we don't have a life-and-death enmity, so why bother to fight?" After a while, he said again: "Besides, didn't we say in the evening that we will be enemies when we meet again today, but today is not over yet, how about a truce for now?"

Suzaku was stunned, and couldn't help but look up at the night sky. Sure enough, although the night was late at this moment, the sky was full of stars and the night was beautiful, but the sky was not yet midnight.

Under the starlight, the breeze is blowing, and the oasis is quiet and peaceful, including the rare moisture in the wind, which makes people feel lazy.For some reason, Suzaku suddenly lost any strong hostility in her heart, so after a pause, she snorted again, but turned and left, walking towards the small lake.

※※※

At this time, the small lake has returned to calm, and it is like a beautiful and clean mirror under the starlight, reflecting the incomparably bright starlight in the sky.Suzaku walked along the edge of the small lake, but suddenly heard movement behind her, turned her head and saw that Wan Jianyi had also walked to the lake.She frowned slightly and said, "What are you doing?"

Just when the words came out, she was startled suddenly in her heart, her tone was much softer than before, although it sounded a little questioning, but the words were spoken gently and calmly, as if... as if she Have you stopped being angry so quickly?

Wan Jianyi naturally didn't understand the twists and turns in Suzaku's heart at this moment, he just smiled and nodded to Suzaku, saying: "I didn't notice such a beautiful place here before, so I couldn't help but come and have a look."

Suzaku suddenly said stiffly: "What's there to see, it's just a broken lake!"

Wan Jian was stunned for a moment, he was a little elusive about this woman for a while, thinking that this Suzaku girl Hai is really moody, but he has a big heart, so he doesn't care, he just smiled and pointed to the small lake, saying: "No Yes, look at the surface of the water, the stars are like pearls, and they are like pearls sprinkled on silver plates, shining and flowing. Such a beautiful and strange scene is rare in the world."

Suzaku looked at Wan Jianyi suspiciously, then looked back at the small lake, and said to himself: "Really... I used to come here to take a bath all the time, why didn't I pay attention to this? These Middle-earth righteous ways are Those who are troubled and hurt the spring and autumn and lament the scenery are hypocritical."

When Wan Jian heard her words, he couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, but after talking about these few words, the atmosphere between the two of them eased a lot, and maybe there was also the element of the temporary truce for today and not being enemies. Now, let them all relax a little bit.

Wan Jian took a look at her and said with a smile, "Miss Suzaku, I have something to ask."

"Say something quickly."

"Er... well, it seems you're a quick temper. I think..."

"What are you impatient? You are the one who is impatient. This girl is fine. Also, what do you want to ask? Stop talking nonsense."

"..." She robbed Wan Jian of a few words in a row. Even with his good temper, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, but looking at her figure, for some reason, maybe he took advantage of her before, Wan Jian One could not get angry with her, so he could only shake his head with a smile, and said, "Miss Suzaku, why are you wearing a veil all the time, isn't it tiring?"

"I want you to take care of it!" Suzaku said angrily, and then sat down casually on a piece of green grass by the lake.

Wan Jianyi put some distance away from her, shrugged his shoulders, and didn't bother to ask any more questions, and simply sat down.After a while, he seemed to feel a little uncomfortable, and then he fell back, but his whole body was lying on the grass, and then he let out a comfortable sigh.

"What a beautiful starry sky!" He looked up at the night sky and murmured.

Suzaku glanced at him, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Hey, let me ask you, what is your intention in sneaking into the wilderness and heading towards our temple?"

Wan Jian smiled, and said to her: "If I say, I'm just here to take a look, do you believe it or not?"

"It's strange to believe you!" Suzaku said a little annoyed, but then she suddenly introspected again, wondering what happened to herself tonight, getting angry so easily.

Wan Jian smiled and said, "Well, if you tell me why the black veil covers your face, I'll tell you the reason why I came to Manhuang, okay?"

Suzaku frowned slightly, and said, "Really?"

Wan Jianyi smiled and said, "Yes."

Suzaku thought for a while, and seemed a little worried, looked at the man who looked a little unrestrained even lying on the grass with suspicious eyes, and said, "You won't lie, will you? "

Wan Jian turned over and sat up, picked a grass stalk from somewhere in his hand, chewed it twice in his mouth, and said with a smile: "I am naturally honest, how can I lie to others?"

"Bah!" Suzaku spat, and said angrily, "My master told me before that you fellows from Middle Earth are the most cunning and deceitful, and you still eat people without spitting out their bones. As a result, people still don't know it, and they foolishly believe in your kind of liar."

"Ah..." Wan Jian was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "Who is your master? Could it be that he was stimulated before?"

Suzaku was also taken aback when he heard the words, thought for a while and said, "Uh, I haven't heard him say this..."

Wan Jian laughed, then lightly spat out the grass root in his mouth, looked at Suzaku and said, "How is it, can you tell me?"

Suzaku hesitated for a moment, then said: "Okay, let me tell you, it's nothing important anyway, but you can't lie to me!"

Wan Jian nodded, and Suzaku said: "The tribe I came from has had such a rule since ancient times, all women who assume the position of saintess must cover their faces since childhood, and wholeheartedly worship the Holy Mother Ming King. It cannot be taken off. If one day this appearance is seen by other men, then there are only two choices, one is to kill him, and the other is not to marry him."

Wan Jianyi was silent for a moment, then burst out laughing, looking a little uncontrollable.

Suzaku stared at him who was laughing out loud, and asked a little angrily, "What are you laughing at?"

Wan Jianyi shook his head and said with a smile: "This... This is too ridiculous. It's such a worldly thing now. How can there be such a stupid rule? I used to think that it was only found in legends and stories after dinner." He kept laughing as he spoke.

Suzaku stood up suddenly and shouted angrily, "I'm telling the truth!"

Wan Jian was taken aback for a moment, then slowly put away his smile, looked at Suzaku, and said seriously, "Is it true?"

Suzaku snorted and said, "Of course it's true."

Wan Jianyi nodded slowly, and after pondering for a moment, he nodded slightly to her, got up and walked not far from Suzaku, and said, "That's where I was rude to Meng Lang before, please forgive me, miss."

He spoke warmly and positively, his eyes were as bright as stars, and he walked over in his white clothes, a manly aura came over him, Suzaku suddenly felt his heart beat a little faster, and his cheeks became slightly hot.Under the starlight, this man is so handsome. She should be angry, but for some reason, she doesn't want to get angry at all.

Maybe it was just for the last bit of face, she gritted her teeth and forced a snort, trying to maintain that cold look, but suddenly felt that the snort was a bit out of tune, so she panicked again.That heartbeat is getting faster and faster, damn it, this feeling has never been felt before, Suzaku's bright eyes flickered, suddenly took a deep breath, a little flustered, and said: "Then, forget it. You just say it, in the end What are you going to do in our wild temple?"

Wan Jianyi stared into her eyes, but didn't speak immediately, Suzaku felt his breathing was inexplicably short, and was anxious, so he heard Wan Jianyi gently say: "I want to go to your wild temple, but the purpose of the past , I really just wanted to see it."

Suzaku glared at him, and said, "Why are you like this, you just said that..."

"I'm not lying." Wan Jian said, "I can swear, that's the truth."

Suzaku looked at him for a while, and said, "Is that so?"

Wan Jian smiled and nodded, "That's it."

Suzaku's eyes shifted, and she didn't know what she was thinking at the moment, but after a while, she snorted and said, "Forget it, I'll trust you once this time. But you have to be careful yourself, just in case Let me find out that if you go to our wild temple with evil intentions and schemes, don’t meet me or fall into my hands. When that day really comes, don’t blame me for being ungrateful.”

Wan Jianyi said "Oh", and said with a smile: "Then I'm a little curious, what will you do?"

Suzaku puffed out his chest, made his voice a bit more serious, and said, "I will kill you!"

Wan Jian nodded, with a gentle face, and smiled: "That's it... But if you fall into my hands, I won't kill you."

"Huh?" Suzaku was a little surprised, and couldn't help asking, "Why is this, and what are you planning to do?"

Wan Jian took a look at her and said with a smile: "At that time, I wanted to lift your veil to see if you were what I thought, just a peerless beauty."
