All kinds of emotions seemed to flash across Xiao's golden eyes. Ling Mengxue stared at him without missing any subtle changes.

For a moment, she had forgotten the embarrassment just now, and her eyes were fixed on the young Yaksha in front of her.

"You've come all the way here, is there something urgent?"

Xiao rarely refused to answer her questions, and Ling Mengxue grabbed the hand that was stroking her cheek.

"I'm surprised you would say that."

"......Um?"

"If it wasn't something special, you would never have found your way here."

After spending a long time with Xiao, Ling Mengxue knew very well that Xiao was a person who liked to set rules for himself, and these rules were usually extremely harsh, so the man in front of her would definitely make up a suitable reason.

Looking at the serious Ling Mengxue, Xiao couldn't help but find it a little funny, and he burst out laughing.

"Sometimes I'm really curious, what do I look like in your mind?"

"Um, liar?"

Ling Mengxue smiled sweetly.

"An elusive immortal."

"..."

"On the one hand, you say you believe me, but on the other hand, you unconsciously worry that I will do something bad behind your back?"

"..."

"Well, do you want me to continue? I feel like I can say a lot more!"

Ling Mengxue grabbed Xiao's hand and shook it gently and said.

Xiao's expression seemed a little flustered, but soon he smiled gently at her and returned to the perfect smile that Ling Mengxue often saw on a daily basis.

"I can't seem to deny it now."

"Hehe, Immortal Xiao, I know you better than you think."

Ling Mengxue finally felt like she had unloaded a burden from her heart. Since she was ready to tell Xiao everything, she felt much more relaxed. Although her heart was beating very fast now, she knew very well that she was very happy to see the man in front of her.

Although I don't know why he came to find me, this is enough. After a short separation of a few days, we finally see each other again. Is there any need to look back and forth?

Ling Mengxue decided to be true to her heart and reveal her plan. But before that, she decided to tease the young immortal in front of her. She shook his hand playfully and asked.

"So? You didn't actually come here just to see me?"

"..."

"Ah, or did Mr. Zhongli send you here to destroy the statue?"

"There's really nothing I can do about you."

Xiao let go of her hand with a helpless smile, and then lifted her up the next moment.

"what."

Ling Mengxue was frightened by being suddenly lifted up by Xiao and made a panicked sound. She was placed by Xiao on the abandoned altar, and the vision in front of her eyes suddenly became higher.

"This, this..."

This was a sacred altar in the past...and Xue Ning was watching next to it!

But it seems that Xiao didn't take it to heart at all.

"Tianli-sama will be a forgiving person."

Why are you so sure? Ling Mengxue glanced at the calico cat on the ground, whose eyes were about to spit fire. Unconsciously, she said what she was thinking.

"She is so tolerant..."

This is simply a massive act of disrespect for the gods! And it happened right in front of the gods!

"Well, that's hard to say. Maybe Tianli is narrow-minded, childish, and likes to eat dried fish..." Ling Mengxue glanced at the calico cat and spread her hands. She couldn't tell Xiao in front of her that, look, this calico cat is your Lord Tianli.

"Shirayuki, you sound like you are very familiar with this Lord Tenri..."

Xiao was quite sensitive in such an inconspicuous place, and Ling Mengxue finally gave up struggling.

The chirping sound that often sounded in Xue Ning's ears disappeared, and the calico cat that was at her feet just now was nowhere to be seen.

It seems that Xue Ning was avoiding him on purpose, probably because she wanted him to confess everything to Xiao in person.

Ling Mengxue tried hard to erase Xue Ning from her mind and lowered her head to look at Xiao's handsome face.

Looking down at Xiao in front of her, she found that Xiao's face looked very tired.

I don’t know if it’s because I didn’t sleep well or because I was too tired, but those golden eyes were actually slightly red.

Could it be that he has run all over Liyue looking for me?

Ling Mengxue couldn't help but reach out and touch his face.

"Uh huh, so what do you want from me?"

"..." Xiao looked helplessly at Ling Mengxue who was acting like a spoiled child in front of him. Wasn't she going to have a good talk with him at this point?

In order to prevent himself from finding her, he even left his backpack, which he never took off, at the inn.

"Where else do you want to run to?" the young Yaksha suddenly murmured.

The next second, Ling Mengxue felt the wind.

It was not the warm and gentle wind that always supported her, but the resonance from the wind god Barbatos.

The wind that suddenly blew up from inside the room was fierce and wild. Before Ling Mengxue could come to her senses, she felt her waist tighten, and her whole body flew into the air, wrapped in the wind.

What is this going to do?

"During these five days, I often felt that... I was reaching my limit." Xiao pressed his forehead against Ling Mengxue's. "When I can't see you, I feel like... I can't breathe."

——This awkward, naive Yaksha does not know that this suffocating feeling is what the world calls "missing".

He couldn't even say "I miss you".

He was too shy to even say "I love you".

Ling Mengxue felt that Xiao's voice did not sound good at all. She carefully observed this seemingly hard face.

Some of the things Xue Ning had said before suddenly flashed through her mind, and then she sighed and said.

"Xiao, are you wearing a lot of shackles?"

"Is that so?"

Ling Mengxue gently touched the corner of Xiao's eyes.

"It would be very boring to handle everything by yourself."

"..."

"It feels like you are always bound by some weird things. You said you wanted to keep me locked up by your side forever, and I am the same."

Xiao's slightly reddish golden eyes blinked a few times and then slowly drooped, although Ling Mengxue didn't know how Xiao would react when he heard her say that.

"Anyway, you made the right decision to come here today. I've been feeling very energetic lately, and I'm sure I can cheer you up."

"......What?"

"Let me do it today. The human body tonic can also be called a fast charging treasure~"

"......?" Xiao vaguely remembered that the crumpled piece of paper seemed to have something like "fast charging treasure" written on it, so, what was that?

"I'm not going anywhere. I'll tell you everything about me."
