After returning to the witch temple, Hou Qing saw the witch Qi coming out and asked him in surprise: "Where did you go to play today and you came back so soon? Hey, what happened to Ling'er?"

The moment Hou Qing saw Witch Qi, he suddenly wanted to cry for some reason. He was a little confused about this strong emotion, so he had to blink to clear the mist from his eyes before saying, "I fell asleep."

His voice was a little choked, fearing that Witch Qi would worry and ask, and just as he was thinking about what to say, he saw that Witch Qi didn't seem to notice, and nodded: "Then let her sleep in the room quickly, so as not to catch a cold."

It happened that Hou Qing didn't want Witch Qi to notice anything strange, so he hugged Yin Lingzi and left.

Arriving at Yin Lingzi's bedroom, Hou Qing gently put her on the bed and covered her with a quilt. Seeing that she was sleeping peacefully, he wanted to leave, but was suddenly pulled by the corner of her clothes.

Looking down, I saw Yin Lingzi frowning, but he didn't seem to be awake, murmuring in his sleep, and pulling him tightly.

Hou Qing leaned down, grabbed her hand and gently opened it, then put it back under the quilt. He got closer and heard clearly what she had been saying: "No!"

Looking at her appearance, she seemed to be having a nightmare, and the strands of hair on her forehead were soaked with sweat. He raised his sleeves and wiped them for her. After thinking about it, he sat down beside her bed and melted the hair for her.

A defensive ball.

Seeing her gradually relaxing in the guarding ball, Hou Qing sighed softly. He didn't expect that the heartless Yin Lingzi would also be troubled by nightmares.

It reminded him of his nightmare that he couldn't remember. For some reason, whenever he thought of this, he would feel uneasy for no reason.

He thought to himself that it was a pity that guarding the ball had no calming effect on the gods. This unpredictable feeling always made him uneasy. If he had known better, he would have used more ill-advised remedies when he came back.

But when I think of Jieyouhua, that feeling of confusion appears again!

He shook his head subconsciously, trying to get rid of this feeling, but accidentally discovered that there were a few faint purple lights flowing on his guarding ball!

His magic has always been mostly cyan, sometimes showing the blue and yellow colors of water and earth, but there shouldn't be purple!

Hou Qing couldn't help but become alert, thinking of the nightmare and the inexplicable feeling that always lingered in his mind. The more he thought about it, the more strange he felt, and an inexplicable anger suddenly rose in his heart!

And at this moment, a picture suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. It was a blurry figure lying under the purple maple outside the witch temple, with maple leaves falling all over it, and it was dyed purple with blood.

Hou Qing wanted to see that figure clearly, but his heart tugged hard. He suddenly had a splitting headache and became confused inexplicably.

…

"Brother Qing! Brother Qing!"

Hou Qing woke up suddenly and saw Yin Lingzi sitting on the bed, looking at him with a smile. He couldn't help but be a little stunned. What was he doing just now? Why can't he remember it at all?

Then Yin Lingzi tapped the corners of his lips at him and said with a smile: "Brother Qing, how old are you? You still drool when you fall asleep!"

Fell asleep again?!

Hou Qing felt a little confused, but now he felt even more embarrassed. He quickly wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve. Seeing Yin Lingzi still staring at him with a smile, he couldn't help but cough lightly and said: "I drank water earlier.

.”

"Where is the water? I want to drink some too." Yin Lingzi looked around and asked.

Hou Qing pretended to be calm and said: "Drink it."

"Pfft... I'm sorry... I didn't mean to laugh... Hahaha..."

Yin Lingzi's laughter wiped away all the doubts in Hou Qing's heart. He glared at Yin Lingzi fiercely, but felt gradually warm and relaxed in his heart.

"Okay, okay, let's go to dinner. Aunt Qi should be ready." Yin Lingzi finally stopped laughing, jumped out of bed, and went to pull Hou Qing like a baby.

Hou Qing couldn't help but feel moved when he saw her pouting slightly, her lips looking like cherry blossoms. He quickly looked away and stood up.

Yin Lingzi didn't notice anything strange about him, so she took his hand and walked out, guessing what the witch Qi had prepared.

Hou Qing wanted to withdraw his hand, but the soft and smooth catkins in his hand made him reluctant to let go!

When they arrived at the dining room, the witch Qi had already laid out the food, but Chi You was nowhere to be seen.

"The Lord God went to heaven and said it would take some time to come back." Witch Qi explained.

It was very common for Chi You to go to heaven. Moreover, Jiuli did not live in the divine time. Every time he went there, it would take a long time to come back, so Hou Qing didn't take it to heart.

"Let's eat!"

Yin Lingzi ate heartily, and Hou Qing also gained an appetite. They finished the meal with Witch Qi as usual, but Witch Qi seemed to talk a little less today.

After clearing away the dishes, the witch Qi poured them each a cup of tea and said, "You guys sit down for a while, I'll go back to the house first."

"Witch," Hou Qing felt that she was a little abnormal today for some reason and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you?"

Witch Qi smiled and said: "It's nothing, just take good care of Ling'er."

After saying that, he went back to the house.

Hou Qing was hesitant to pursue and ask, but Yin Lingzi grabbed him and winked at him and said, "Don't bother Aunt Qi, maybe it's because of the Lord Chi You!"

Seeing Yin Lingzi's smiling face, Hou Qing calmed down unconsciously and stopped thinking about it.

"Brother Qing, shall we go see the stars?" Yin Lingzi pulled his sleeve, his eyes full of expectation.

Hou Qing couldn't help but nodded, not wanting to let him down.

Yin Lingzi's eyes lit up, he pulled Hou Qing and ran outside, pointing at the top of the witch temple, and said: "Go and look up there, get closer!"

Hou Qing glanced at her, then put his arm around her waist, jumped up in an instant, put her down gently, and said, "Be careful."

Yin Lingzi nodded repeatedly, sat down, raised his head and looked at the twinkling stars in the sky, looking a little excited.

Hou Qing also sat down, half leaning against the ridge of the roof, and felt that he had never been so comfortable.

"Brother Qing, do you think this night is beautiful? How about we come here every night from now on?"

Hou Qing turned his head and saw that Yin Lingzi's eyes seemed to be reflected with stars, flickering in the night, as bright as stars, illuminating his heart.

"good."

He agreed almost without thinking. Yin Lingzi immediately smiled and rolled his eyes. Hou Qing couldn't help but stretched out his hand to touch her head, but unexpectedly Yin Lingzi rushed over and said happily:

"Brother Qing is the best!"

Hou Qing had only one hand to support himself, but when she hit him like this, he almost fell down on the roof tiles. Yin Lingzi fell on top of him, and her lips happened to be pressed against his!

This gesture was really ambiguous. Yin Lingzi was stunned, blushed, and quickly raised his head.

Although it was just like a dragonfly touching water, the soft and warm touch touched Hou Qing's heartstrings. He saw that Yin Lingzi's cheeks were like peach fat, and her jade face was as beautiful as snow. It added a hazy and crystal light in the night, and he couldn't help but look at it.

Fascinated, he unexpectedly grabbed Yin Lingzi's head that was raising up, and then kissed Yin Lingzi's red lips!

Yin Lingzi's peach blossom eyes suddenly widened. Before she could react, her lips and tongues were intertwined. Her heart was pounding like a deer, as if it was about to jump out, and it kept making "dong dong" sounds!

She was stunned for a while before she finally realized that Hou Qing was... taking the initiative to kiss her!

Yin Lingzi was so happy that he couldn't help but close his eyes and responded awkwardly.

After quarreling like this for a long time, they separated out of breath, and suddenly they felt a little embarrassed. They stood up and sat down hurriedly, almost not daring to look into each other's eyes.

There was silence for a while.

"I……"

"you……"

They spoke almost at the same time, looked at each other, and said at the same time: "You go first..."

Yin Lingzi laughed, and Hou Qing unconsciously twitched the corner of his mouth, but he still spoke first, but listening carefully, his voice trembled slightly, and he stammered: "I...I didn't mean to offend,

If you...uh...sorry..."

But Yin Lingzi hurriedly interrupted: "No! I'm very happy!"

Hou Qing was startled and saw that Yin Lingzi's face was flushed with embarrassment, but she still looked into his eyes, as if confirming something.

He couldn't help but cursed himself secretly, how could he be so cowardly!

So, he met Yin Lingzi's gaze and said, "I'm very happy too."

After saying that, he quickly turned his head away, his ears turned crimson, and he didn't know how Yin Lingzi would react.

After waiting for a while, he didn't see any movement from her. Just as he was about to turn his head to look, he felt Yin Lingzi resting his head on his shoulder.

"Brother Qing, are you willing to stay here forever?"

Yin Lingzi's voice was muffled, his head was slightly lowered, and his expression could not be seen clearly.

"Of course," Hou Qing almost blurted out, "I have decided to stay here when I come back."

But when he said this, it was clear that there was no doubt about it, but for some reason his heart was shaken, and there was a dull pain.

Then Yin Lingzi suddenly raised his watery eyes to look at him, clear and bright, reflecting his appearance.

"Brother Qing, how about we stay here forever? Even...even in the future...no matter the sea changes, the world is turned upside down, how about we always stay here?"

Hou Qing had a lot of thoughts for a while, but when he looked at Yin Lingzi's puddle of autumn water, the inexplicable emotions in his heart calmed down little by little.

It was also his original intention to stay in Jiuliyuan. In addition to accompanying the witch Qi to raise his old age, he always felt that he wanted to stay and protect Jiuli. This idea was very strong and seemed to have taken root in his heart, but he didn't think much about it, or

He said that he didn't want to think about it at all now.

He originally thought that he was destined to be lonely, but unexpectedly, now that Yin Lingzi was willing to accompany him, how could he let him down?

Hou Qing looked at Yin Lingzi, couldn't help but stretched out his hand and tapped her forehead, saying: "Our lives will be very long, don't regret it."

Yin Lingzi was stunned, her eyes gradually became misty, she sniffed with tears in her eyes, and plunged into Hou Qing's arms.

Hou Qing's hand stopped in mid-air for a moment, then finally touched her head and held her tightly in his arms.
