Chapter 857: Villain Immortal Son-in-law X Unable to Transform into a Demonic Little Fox 57
For Xie Linyuan, revenge was the most important thing, and Yu Zhen never tried to persuade him to give up. If she really did that, it would undoubtedly be unfair to Xie Linyuan.
However, after Xie Linyuan left, Yu Zhen was still a little bored.
He never seemed to have considered using the Ten Thousand Demons Sect for revenge, nor did he want to involve her. So when he heard that Xie Linyuan had killed a sect's prodigy not long afterward, there was no rumor that he had any connection with the demon race.
Xie Linyuan acted very quickly, but he had too many and too powerful enemies, so he had experienced many near-death experiences.
His revenge took a very long time to come.
However, he would occasionally sneak back to the Ten Thousand Demons Sect to see her.
One day, Yu Zhen was calling Xiao Tao to bring her a freshly made roast chicken from the kitchen when she suddenly felt a cool breeze behind her. She turned around and looked over.
Xie Linyuan, dressed in black, was looking down at the writing practice book on her desk.
"You've started learning to write?" He seemed to be very familiar with the booklet, his gaze fixed intently on it.
Yu Zhen was quite happy to see him. More than a year had passed since they last parted. In the meantime, she had only heard that Xie Linyuan had killed Baili Xun of the Lingxiao Sword Sect. Speaking of which, that person had died three times at Xie Linyuan's hands, including those in the book and those in the illusion. It was quite interesting.
The Lingxiao Sword Sect members frantically searched for Xie Linyuan, as if a hornet's nest had been stirred up. However, Xie Linyuan had somehow learned a way to conceal his presence, and even the powerful figures of the Lingxiao Sword Sect could not find him. This allowed him to secretly kill many of his enemies.
Because of his "outrageous" act against the Lingxiao Sword Sect and the killing of the talented young Baili Xun, Xie Linyuan's reputation as "Qinglin Jun" has resurfaced. However, in the eyes of most prestigious sects, he is no different from a demon and has a bit of a devilish aura.
Seeing that he stared at her handwriting as soon as he arrived, Yu Zhen was a little embarrassed and annoyed. She quickly walked over, snatched the booklet from under his nose, and put it on her back: "Why did you suddenly come back? I heard from Father that you killed Baili Xun. The Lingxiao Sword Sect is looking for you everywhere but can't do anything about it."
"Are you... okay now?"
She asked cautiously, knowing that Xie Linyuan didn't actually want her involved in his revenge.
His gaze finally shifted to her.
Xie Linyuan looked at the person in front of him, his gaze slowly sliding from her hair to the hem of her clothes.
His Adam's apple bobbed, and he said softly, "I'm fine, and you look fine too."
He couldn't say anything more than "very good" to praise him, because he wasn't good at sweet talk.
She was more beautiful and more lively than before, and everything she wore and carried was a fine magical artifact, which showed how much her parents loved her.
This made Xie Linyuan feel slightly embarrassed about what he was holding.
"Of course I'm good. I'm loved by my parents. There's no happier little fox in the world than me." She answered with a hint of pride, while leaning closer to him and looking him up and down.
Finally, he extended a finger and tapped his chest, adopting a somewhat interrogative posture: "Tell me, are you injured? Did you use what I gave you?"
"I was injured back then, but I used what you left for me in the jade pendant, and I'm all healed now," Xie Linyuan said softly, looking into her eyes.
Yu Zhen's heart tightened, but she relaxed when she heard him say that he was all better.
Revenge is such a dangerous thing that it's impossible not to get injured; in fact, it's the norm for Xie Linyuan.
Knowing is one thing, but accepting and feeling sorry for someone is another.
Yu Zhen sighed: "Alright, I'm not exactly the happiest little fox right now. I'll be on tenterhooks until you've taken your revenge."
"sorry."
Xie Linyuan hesitated for a moment, then took out a fiery red jade hairpin from his pocket and held it out in front of her: "...I got it by chance, and I thought it suited you very well. Consider it...an apology."
"so beautiful!"
The jade hairpin was fiery red and smooth, clearly not an ordinary item. Yu Zhen was both surprised and delighted, and took it from his palm to examine it for a long time.
"Do you like it?" Xie Linyuan was a little nervous as it was the first time he had given someone a gift.
“I like it,” Yu Zhen looked at it, then suddenly touched his hand with the jade hairpin, “Put it on for me.”
Xie Linyuan hummed in agreement, then awkwardly found a spot in her hair and slowly inserted it.
Yu Zhen twirled around in front of him: "Does it look good?"
"nice."
He only knows how to praise so directly; he's really at a loss for words.
Yu Zhen didn't care about any of that. She was in a good mood. Xie Linyuan hadn't forgotten her even though he was away, and had even brought her a gift. She was happy.
Even knowing that Xie Linyuan was leaving again, her joy did not diminish in the slightest.
Sure enough, after delivering the items, Xie Linyuan lowered his eyes and said, "I should go."
"So fast?"
Xie Linyuan curled his lips, glanced at the jade hairpin in her hair, and said, "I want to settle everything as soon as possible, and I'm also afraid that if I stay too long, I won't want to leave."
After he finished speaking, he reached out his hand, as if he wanted to touch her, but then withdrew it just before it touched her cheek.
If Yu Zhen had any dissatisfaction with Xie Linyuan, it was that he was too much of a gentleman, always suppressing his feelings, like a spring tightly compressed by a heavy object.
She grabbed his hand and pressed it against her face. Seeing Xie Linyuan's surprised look, she smiled and said, "How is it? It feels pretty good, doesn't it?"
Xie Linyuan chuckled. He had come to know the little fox's personality over time and was quite used to her actions.
His palms were a little cold. He gently touched her cheek and said, "Mmm."
"Don't get hurt, Xie Linyuan."
Yu Zhen looked at him and said seriously.
Xie Linyuan nodded, and only after the warmth from Yu Zhen's cheek had soaked his hands did he slowly withdraw them and hold them tightly at his side.
"Zhenzhen, I should go now."
