Quick Wear: The Heirless Boss Wants to Get Close to Her Every Day

Chapter 643 The Darkened Sword Maniac of the Martial World vs. the Cunning Enchantress (29)

Shen Shuyi hugged his arm and leaned into his embrace. "What are you doing? I just wanted to talk to my junior brothers a bit more."

"Xie Xinghe, we are the ones who are in the same boat."

So don't be angry.

"When have I ever been angry?" Xie Xinghe retorted.

Shen Shuyi pressed her face against his arm, "Still saying no!"

“I smiled at Junior Brother Zuo and the others a few more times, and your face turned cold. You still won’t talk to me.”

Xie Xinghe was powerless against her unreasonable accusations.

He whispered, "In six months, we'll be even."

Shen Shuyi raised an eyebrow, "Even if we're even?"

"Xie Xinghe, explain clearly what you mean by 'eventy'?"

She reached up and wrapped her arms around Xie Xinghe's neck, pulling him forward to embrace her.

She whispered in the man's ear, "Young Master Xie, you're clearly jealous."

"You're jealous that I'm having so much fun playing around with your junior brother."

"There's a fire burning inside you, isn't there?"

Xie Xinghe wanted to retort, but the girl in front of him silenced him with a kiss.

He kept his lips tightly closed.

Shen Shuyi pinched his cheek. "Open your mouth."

As he softened, Shen Shuyi sat on his lap and deepened the kiss.

But she deliberately withdrew, and just as she was about to leave Xie Xinghe's lips, she was immediately met with a violent counterattack.

She quietly opened her eyes and saw that Xie Xinghe's eyebrows and eyes were tinged with color.

Then I sensed something was off about him.

"Xie Xinghe".

"Ok?"

Shen Shuyi squeezed his hand, "You~"

Xie Xinghe's Adam's apple bobbed, and he quickly released the person to calm his breathing.

"Excuse me, I'll be out for a bit."

Shen Shuyi called out, but she couldn't get the person back.

She lifted the covers, lay down, looked up at the ceiling, and a smile appeared on her lips.

It's fun.

She didn't know how much time had passed, but just as she was about to fall asleep, she felt the man return, his body covered in cold, damp vapor.

……

The next day, Elder Chen arrived, and all the disciples of the Canglan Sword Sect gathered.

Shen Shuyi briefly withdrew and sat down to drink tea.

Xie Xinghe returned quickly. "Let's go."

"Are you really not going to cross the river with them?" Shen Shuyi asked curiously.

"No need, the elders have their own methods." Xie Xinghe said calmly. He was used to going alone, and he had always gone down the mountain to train alone before, so the elders were used to it.

As Shen Shuyi walked alongside him, she suddenly noticed that Elder Chen seemed to glance at her twice. Could it be that he recognized her?

Revealing one's identity at this time would indeed cause some trouble.

Fortunately, the group walked further and further away, only thinking about hurrying to cross the river.

The great river that leads from Longkou Town to Penglai Island is called Qingya River. The river water is clear, but when it rains continuously, crows circle on the river and the blue waves surge, so novice boatmen dare not carry people across the river.

There were few old boatmen, and with rumors circulating that Penglai Island was teeming with spiritual herbs, treasures, and martial arts manuals, long lines formed along the riverbank. The old boatmen had to make several trips a day, and they almost died of exhaustion on the boat.

The riverbank was bustling with activity. Some people couldn't wait to hire experienced boatmen from other places to steer the boat. As the saying goes, money makes the world go round, and those who were willing to pay a high price could go up the mountain first.

Shen Shuyi had plenty of money, but most of it was from the Moon Hidden Nunnery and the Sword Casting Villa. She had used most of the money she had plundered for disaster relief, and the rest she couldn't possibly spend. She got along well with her junior brothers, including Zuo Ziyun, and readily hired a boat for them to cross the river.

Xie Xinghe hesitated, but since he didn't have much money on him, he had to give up.

Shen Shuyi jumped onto the boat and stood at the bow, gazing at the distant, faintly visible mountain peaks. She said to Xie Xinghe, "Don't overthink it. I get along well with them, and we've had a great time. Spending a little money to hire a boat is just friends helping each other out."

"I will return the money to you when we return to the Central Plains."

"Are you rich?"

"Oh, I almost forgot you are the direct son of the Canglan Sword Sect's leader and the sect's heir. You are indeed wealthy."

"But I don't want your money."

"What do you want?" Xie Xinghe looked at the surging river, his face calm, but a strange tension and anticipation rose in his heart.

Shen Shuyi blinked. "Since you're so eager to pay it off, then you can owe it for now."

Just then, the system's voice rang in her mind.

[Host, Shi Zhengchun has arrived as well, and he's brought Yin Qianrou with him. Yin Qianrou is about to have a falling out with Mo Lianzhou because Mo Lianzhou beat up Shi Zhengchun, and Yin Qianrou stopped him, even threatening to sever their master-disciple relationship.]
Shen Shuyi chuckled, "Go ahead and make a scene, the bigger the better, since everyone here is a villain anyway."

She sat down at the bow of the boat, quietly took out a flask of wine from her spatial storage, and then ate the grilled fish that the boatman's granddaughter had brought over.

Xie Xinghe sat opposite her, watching her drink and eat fish, her languid expression making her seem out of place with those around her.

All the martial arts practitioners who flocked to Penglai Island were after the "Tai Xuan Jing" and the Alliance Leader's Order, and he was no exception.

"Would you like a drink?"

"Mm." Xie Xinghe took the wine glass.

Shen Shuyi was somewhat surprised, "I thought you would refuse like before."

Xie Xinghe changed the subject, "What did you go to Penglai Island for?"

"Me?" Shen Shuyi smiled and said, "I'm just going to join in the fun. Anyway, the Tai Xuan Jing from your righteous martial arts sects isn't suitable for me to practice, and that Xuan Qing Ling is even less useful to me."

Xie Xinghe finished his glass of wine and was at a loss for words, but he found that drinking and eating grilled fish with her made him feel more relaxed than ever before.

A breeze picked up on the river, causing their clothes to flutter in the wind.

Xie Xinghe faced the wind, watching her red hairband and dark hair flutter, "Shen Shuyi, isn't there anything you want?"

Shen Shuyi chuckled softly, "I...I want to live."

"I want to live a happy life. I haven't seen the scenery of the northern desert yet, nor have I seen the misty rain of Jiangnan. I don't want to die yet."

Xie Xinghe usually saw her as flamboyant and carefree, always ready to settle scores; this was the first time he had ever seen her so downcast.

His expression froze, and he hummed in response.

Snow-covered Ice Silkworm Flower.
Legend has it that someone once saw the Tianshan Mountains frozen over, and he can go to the Tianshan Mountains once this matter is settled.

As Shen Shuyi drank, she became slightly tipsy and fell asleep in a recliner while hugging the wine jar.

……

Meanwhile, the waves of the Qingya River grew larger and larger, and the boats on the river swayed and moved forward.

Shi Zhengchun stood at the head of the bed, gazing at the river and lost in thought.

Yin Qianrou walked up to him and called his name, but he didn't respond.

She quickly grabbed Shi Zhengchun's hand, "Brother Shi, are you blaming me?"

A few days ago, she met her master again. When her master saw her holding hands with Brother Shi, he attacked her without saying a word.

Brother Shi was caught off guard and seriously injured. If it weren't for the elders of the Heavenly Blade Sect arriving in time, they probably wouldn't have been able to escape.

Now, Brother Shi is not only injured, but she has also had a conflict with the elders of the sect.
Shi Zhengchun snapped out of his daze and looked down at Yin Qianrou. The series of misfortunes had left him physically and mentally exhausted.

But Qianrou was the woman he loved, how could he bear to blame her?

He pulled Yin Qianrou into his arms. "Qianrou, don't overthink it. Once I get the Tai Xuan Scripture and the Xuan Qing Token, and return to the Heavenly Blade Sect, no one will be able to stop us from being together."

"Once I've mastered the Tai Xuan Scripture, what will we have to fear from Mo Lianzhou!"
