Chapter 347 - Li Jiujiu is Courting Death
Chapter 347 of "Journey to the End of the Night" opens presenting: Looking at Miss Jing, who usually appeared inviolable and holier-than-thou, pure and aloof with skin... Donât stop now!
Looking at Miss Jing, who usually appeared inviolable and holier-than-thou, pure and aloof with skin as cold and clear as jadeâŚ
Her black hair was now a disheveled mess, and her eyes, like icy springs on snow-capped mountains, almost melted into pools of water.
Her meticulously tidy white robe was now utterly disheveled, with the neckline wide open, revealing a white undergarment and collarbones, as she lay there listlessly beneath Fang Geyu, looking completely vulnerable.
Li Jiujiu felt as if her jaw had dropped to the floor and she couldnât pick it up.
She was thoroughly in awe of Fang Geyu.
To think that Miss Jing, high and lofty as a rare flower on a snowy mountain peak, whom countless heroes had yearned for over centuries without successâ
She simply stepped over countless worthy men, swiftly and decisively plucked the beauty for herself.
Just listen to what had been said earlierâthey even took her clothes off and kissed her in bed!
So when you, Miss, choose to speak, you really shock people!
It had been years since she last engaged in mischief, and now she had thrown caution to the wind.
Going after Su Jing was one thing, but to actually succeed was another, and now youâre set to take the top spot too!!!
Arenât you afraid that the Sect Master of Taixuan would find out and come charging over to Shifang City with a knife?
Breaking into a cold sweat, feeling like the sky was falling and the earth was splitting, she tremblingly crouched down to pick up the broken pieces from the floor, pretending she heard and saw nothing: âIâŚ
I didnât hear anything, didnât see anything.
Fang Geyu, Su Jing, carry on.â
Eavesdropping halfway was truly terrifying.
Baili An quickly pushed away Fang Geyu, who was on top of her: âActually, IâŚâ
Before she could finish her sentence, she felt a tightening around her waist as Fang Geyuâs slender arms wrapped around her from behind, pulling her back in.
Fang Geyu affectionately hugged Baili An from behind, her chin resting on his shoulder, showing no trace of the embarrassment and confusion seen moments before.
Her petite frame was not as slim and tall as Su Jingâs but resembled a little girl cuddling a beloved, delicate doll, which surprisingly did not feel out of place at all.
Her bright eyes brimmed with laughter, as if all the stars from the heavens had gathered in her gaze, exuding an irresistible charm.
âOh Li Jiujiu, whatâs there to panic about?
Jingâer is already my person; are you so afraid sheâd shut you up?â
This bombshell nearly caused Li Jiujiuâs spirit platform to collapse, her courage to flee!
No, itâs not that I am afraid of being silenced anymore; Iâm afraid youâre admitting it so quickly.
Are you so eager to be with her that you canât even be bothered to conceal it anymore?
Baili An was also stunned by her words, turning his stiff neck to look at Fang Geyuâs exquisite profile: âWhat on earth are you playing at?â
Who are you calling Jingâer?
Fang Geyuâs arm around his waist suddenly tightened, almost squeezing the breath out of him.
She gave a derisive smile, speaking in a volume only Baili An could hear,
âWhatâs with that medicine you gave, it got me so high, I started spouting nonsense that I couldnât even stop.
Now, youâve caught us red-handed, Li Jiujiu.
You better not admit your real identity.
As the lady of Shifang City, usually bullying girls is one thing, but if she finds out Iâve been this reckless with a guy, Iâll bite you the first chance I get!â
Baili An couldnât help but laugh, knowing she was behaving outrageously: âIf Su Jing wakes up, do you think sheâd let you continue this nonsense?â
Fang Geyu gritted her teeth: âWeâll cross that bridge when we get there.
Li Jiujiu isnât the sharpest tool in the shed, easy to fool.â
Baili An: ââŚâ Are you sure Su Jing wonât kill us both if she wakes up?
Caught in the act, Li Jiujiu saw these two shameless âdog men and womenâ still sweet-talking and whispering without a hint of embarrassment, and suddenly felt completely superfluous.
But this ridiculous scenario temporarily eased Li Jiujiuâs previous fear and apprehension regarding Su Jing.
Whatâs there to be afraid of anymore?
Even if you are the most untouchable woman in the world, what of it?
So what if you are the daughter of the revered Taixuan Sect Master?
So what if you are the chosen one of the Heavenly Dao by Immortal Venerable Zhu Zhan?
No matter how cold-blooded and heartless, arenât you still hooked by your good friend Fang Geyu?
After thinking it through, Li Jiujiu felt a heavy stone in her heart finally settle.
She had been wondering why Fang Geyu had been acting strange lately.
Even though her usual demeanor showed no signs, having played together, Li Jiujiu knew her well and sensed something was off in her attitude toward Baili An.
Now it seemed she had been overthinking it.
Although she didnât particularly like Su Jing, thinking that Fang Geyu liked her made Li Jiujiu decide not to dwell on past grievances.
After all, they were going to be âfamilyâ in the future.
Perhaps this thought convinced her, because when Li Jiujiu looked at âSu Jingâ again, she suddenly found her much more agreeable.
Gone was the aloofness and unapproachability she had sensed when they first met in that little town.
The helpless way she curled up in Fang Geyuâs arms looked rather endearing.
Thus, from the initial shock, fear, and unease to curiosity, excitement, and recklessness, it only took a moment of changing her view of someone.
She suddenly wanted to delve deeper into her good friend and the young Sect Master of the Taixuan Sectâs love story.
After tidying up the broken pieces and placing them on a tray, Li Jiujiu, with her eyes wide and sparkling, was no longer in a hurry to leave.
It turned out that Li Jiujiu didnât need to be fooled; she had wholly bought into their relationship and even conjured up a grand drama in her mind on her own.
Seeing that she wasnât leaving, Fang Geyuâs gaze shifted slightly and she said, âIâm getting a bit hungry.â
Baili An, unable to stand the atmosphere any longer, pulled himself from her arms and stood up, dusting off his clothes: âIâll go cook.â
The Netherworld Painted Boat had a separate kitchen equipped with everything needed.
The hot tea Li Jiujiu brewed had also come from boiling water in the kitchen.
Watching his receding figure, Li Jiujiu was once again dumbfounded, feeling all this was too surreal.
She hurried to squat in front of Fang Geyu and exclaimed, âSu Jing can cook?â
Fang Geyu didnât know whether Su Jing could cook, but her own chef definitely had excellent culinary skills.
Fang Geyu couldnât help but lift her nose proudly, giving a non-committal grunt.
Li Jiujiuâs eyes nearly sparkled, grabbing Fang Geyuâs arm and shaking it excitedly: âThatâs Su Jing, and youâve trained her to be a woman who can grace a hall and also the kitchen.
Fang Geyu, you must be a celestial being reincarnated!â
If Fang Geyu had a tail, it would surely be wagging to the skies by now.
Baili An didnât take long to return, soon bringing a big pot of broth, several baskets of fresh vegetables and fruit, and slices of beef and mutton.
