Nen thought in horror, am I really minding Niang's identity?

No, it wouldn't! Mother was so gentle and pitiful, she and Father were all Mother had left, she would never mind Mother's identity!



Xiao Yao droned, "If you have the ability to think, you must have the ability to admit it, besides crying, what else can you do?"



Ah Nian still let out a loud cry, Xiao Yao took out a little bit of medicinal powder and sprinkled it on the veil, a few wisps of light smoke rose up, the veil which was invulnerable to water and fire, and not harmed by swords and knives was corroded out of a small hole.



Xiao Yao took the medicinal powder and said to Ah Nian, "If you cry again, I will blow gently and blow this medicinal powder onto your face." As Xiao Yao spoke, she sprinkled a little more medicinal powder onto the veil, and light smoke floated up.



Ah Nian immediately bit her lips tightly and stared at Xiao Yao in fear, her tears were still pouring out, but she didn't dare to cry out anymore.


Xiao Yao put away the medicinal powder, ''That's what makes it easier to talk! Since I know your secret, I will also tell you one of mine. The fact that you resent your mother's identity isn't a big deal because I hate my mother's identity." Xiao Yao gave Nian a look, "Don't believe it? It seems that our father is so shrewd and powerful that no one dares to chew on you in front of you for so many years! Let me tell you! Do you know why no one on the Five Gods Mountain dares to mention my mother? Because my mother repudiated our father!"


Ah Nian forgot to cry and looked at Xiao Yao in shock. In this world, there was actually a woman who dared to abandon King Gao Xin?


Xiao Yao said, "After my mother repudiated our father, she took me to live at the Chao Yun Peak on Xuan Yuan Mountain, if this was all, then so be it, but she actually ran off to lead the army to war for the sake of the righteousness of the family and the world. She sent me to the Queen Mother of Jade Mountain, lied to me and said let me play in Jade Mountain, she will come to pick me up after a period of time, and the result ...... is that she never returned and died in the war! That hellish place on Jade Mountain is not a place for normal people to live at all. The maidservants are all like mutes, and the Queen Mother is considered very talkative if she speaks ten words a month. I've been looking forward to my mother coming to pick me up day after day, and I've been waiting for her for seventy years, but she ......" Xiao Yao sneered, "This is what my mother said about coming to pick me up after a while!"


Xiao Yao leaned down and said seriously to Ah Nian, "To be honest, if God allows a person to have a choice of mother, I want your mother. Your mother is gentle and delicate, honestly treating Father as her heaven, and following Father single-mindedly. She's just a weak woman who can't do anything, doesn't have to take on any great righteousness, can guard her daughter as she grows up, and no matter what time it is, as long as she's there waiting for you when you want her, and when the whole world turns their backs on you, she still guards you."


Ah Nian was stunned, Xiao Yao patted her cheek, "Are you willing to switch mothers with me?"


Ah Nian immediately shouted, "No, never! My mother is mine." It was as if Xiao Yao really wanted to steal her mother from her. Xiao Yao got up from Ah Nian's body and helped her to untie the veil while saying, "Whether you like it or not, anyway, this girl just appeared in your world, and now you only have two paths to take."


Xiao Yao didn't dare to really let go of Ah Nian, only letting her face show. Xiao Yao roughly pushed Ah Nian to sit up, she squatted in front of Ah Nian, "The first path is the current path, we don't get along well, you keep finding fault with me, even going as far as to join forces with outsiders to fix me. Have you thought carefully about what the end of this path is?"


Ah Nian didn't say anything and Xiao Yao said, "You'll make Father King suffer and you'll lose a moment Zhuan Xu."


Ah Nian stared at Xiao Yao, who said, "To Father, you and I are like the back of the hand, and the back of the hand is flesh, so whether it's you who gets hurt, or me, he'll be in pain. If Father is in pain, your mother's day will change, and your mother will also be in pain! If both father and mother are in pain, I don't believe you, as a daughter, will find it pleasant! And Zhuan Xu, maybe you don't want to admit it, but I know you know it in your heart, and that's why you've tried to verify it again and again. I'm not Father and Zhuan Xu, I won't coax you with falsehoods, but Zhuan Xu and I are connected by blood, our safety and danger are linked, we are each other's leaning on each other, even the only leaning in this world. If you really hurt me, the tinkling of gems will definitely not forgive you!"



Xiao Yao paused and continued, "The second path, however, is very different from the first, we live in peace, don't stare at me! I said living together in peace, I didn't say living together in friendship! The so-called peaceful coexistence is well water does not offend river water, Cheng En Palace is very big, so big that even if there is more than one of me, as long as you do not want to pay attention to it, it is perfectly possible to not see once a year. You can think carefully about the end of this path. Father will be pleased thatZhuan Xu will continue to favour you and protect you, and your mother will continue to live in peace."


Ah Nian snorted coldly, "Are there only two paths?"


Xiao Yao laughed, "Actually, there is a third, we get along amicably, from now on you not only have father and brother to love you, but you also have an extra sister to pamper you."


"Bah, you're dreaming!"


Xiao Yao spread her hands and said indifferently, "I knew it was a dream, so I didn't mention it at all."


Ah Nian lowered her head, silently contemplating, and Xiao Yao also stopped talking.


The room quieted down, and the voices outside became shrill as the maids cried and screamed, "Wang Ji, Wang Ji, don't fight! Please, don t fight ...... Your Majesty, didn t you already send someone to report to His Majesty? Why hasn't His Majesty sent someone ...... yet?"


After a long time, Xiao Yao saw that Ah Nian's expression was already very calm, and began to continue to untie the veil on Ah Nian's body, and just as she untied Ah Nian's hands, Ah Nian threw Xiao Yao a slap with force, and Xiao Yao flipped her heavily onto the ground with a hand, and raised her fists, "You still want to fight ah? Then let's continue."


Ah Nian angrily said, "You kicked me in the stomach and punched me in the face, I'll slap you in the face, let's call it even, and from now on, well water does not interfere with river water!"


Xiaoyao thought about it and withdrew her fist, "Good!"Xiao Yao stood up, picked up the tattered robe on the ground and wrapped it around her body, and was just about to pull the latch, when she turned back and said, "Only you and Xiangliu know about what happened between you and Xiangliu, and I won't tell Zhuan Xu, and you've sealed your mouth yourself."



Xiao Yao pulled the door open, and the maids stared at her in disbelief.



When Xiao Yao walked back to the Hall of Bright Serenity, the maids of honour also looked at her dumbfounded, the bolder Coral stammered, "Wang Ji, who, who hit you?"


Xiao Yao walked to the water mirror, a stark palm print on the left side of her face, Xiao Yao thought about the bruises on Ah Nian's face and laughed, "Who else in this palace dares to hit me besides the other Wang Ji? However, I didn't make it easy for her either, if you guys want to see her in action, hurry up and go watch."


The maids still stood dumbfounded, Xiao Yao said, "If you don't want to go and watch the fun, prepare a bath for me, I have a smell of the sea on me, it's unbearable."


Only then did the maids return to their senses and hurriedly went to prepare the bathing utensils, Coral also went to look for injury medicine.


Xiao Yao finished her bath, put on the medicine, ate something, and instructed the maidservants, "I'll sleep for two hours, remember to make sure to wake me up when it's time."


Xiao Yao slept beautifully, and after she woke up from her sleep, she asked the maid to help her prepare her clothes for going out.


Xiao Yao said, "Something comfortable." Just after the words were finished, she thought about it and added, "It also needs to be nice looking, both comfortable and nice looking."


The maids all lowered their heads and snickered, Coral picked up a set of gardenia yellow dress and said, "Although this dress has to be girdled, as long as it's not bunched up as tightly as when wearing a gown, it's actually very comfortable to wear. Did Wang Ji find last night's wear difficult?"


"Other than being a bit cumbersome, it's not unpleasant." Xiao Yao laughed, "Then this is the set."


After putting on her clothes, Xiao Yao looked at herself in front of the mirror and lamented that with Ah Nian's five fingerprints around, it was actually a white dress!


Coral had already prepared a drapery hat for her that matched the dress, Xiao Yao put on the hat and took the cloud carriage out of the palace.


Zhuan Xu said that Fenglong would be leaving tomorrow, so I thought that Jing would also be leaving early tomorrow morning. With this farewell, there was no telling when he would see him again, so Xiao Yao wanted to see him again before he left.


When they arrived at the courtyard where the Tu Shan Clan lived on Ying Zhou Mountain, the servant guarding the door said, "Prince Jing went shopping, presumably because he's leaving tomorrow and wanted to buy some specialities from the Five Divine Mountains to take back as gifts."


Xiao Yao had thought that Jing would be resting, but she didn't expect him to go out with the Zhuan Xu and the others, it seemed that he didn't want anyone to know that she hadn't slept all night last night. Thinking of his two weird fox-tailed dolls, if he had the intention to hide them, it would indeed be difficult for outsiders to ascertain his whereabouts.


Not having found anyone, Xiao Yao was a bit wan, but she didn't want to go back for a while, so she could only go to Yingzhou Island to wander around in boredom.The last time I strolled around Yingzhou Island, I was still a child, and it was very different from now. At that time, Yingzhou Island was only inhabited by some low-grade divine races, and it was beautiful, but there was not much life. Now there are a lot of human race, and from time to time you can see the demon race, hustle and bustle, very lively. Everyone lived a peaceful and contented life, so their behaviour was naturally very courteous.


Xiao Yao couldn't help but be proud of her father. After coming back, maybe because she grew up, she could feel that her father was not happy, but her father said that he exchanged all for what he wanted, and this is probably what her father wanted!


Xiao Yao saw a set of makeup boxes made of coral, from small to large there were about twelve pieces, the small ones could be used to hold rouge and powder, the large ones could be used to hold hairpins and jewellery. Xiaoyao thought of the maid Coral's name and thought that if it wasn't too expensive, it would be nice to buy this for Coral. She walked over, picked up one and looked at it, the workmanship was indeed good, and asked, "How much?"



Before the shopkeeper could answer, a woman next to her picked up a makeup box and looked at it, saying, "I'll take this, wrap it up."



Xiao Yao did not have to take it, but just felt that the woman next to her was too overbearing, and was too lazy to take care of her, and only said to the shopkeeper, "I was the one who looked at the thing first, and asked for the price first, so if I didn't say I didn't want it, I shouldn't be able to sell it to someone else."



The shopkeeper said apologetically to the woman, "It is indeed true to buy and sell things."



The woman immediately said, "Whatever she offers, I'll give you twice as much again."



The other woman said, "The workmanship is okay, but the coral is not good, if sister wants something like this, I'll order the craftsmen to carve a set specifically for you from the coral of the Returning Market."



Xiao Yao heard their voices were a bit familiar, so she turned around to look, it was actually Xin Yue and Yi Ying.


Feng Long and YiYing were walking over, followed by several servants carrying things. XinYue said to one of the servants, "Put away this coral makeup box." She then turned her head to look at Xiao Yao and said to Yi Ying, "I'm not a woman who has never seen anything nice, so how could I look at this kind of thing? It's just a novelty that I bought to reward my subordinates."


Xiao Yao was not good at using words to suppress people like Xin Yue, at this moment, Xiao Yao really wished that Ah Nian and Haitang were there, remembering the time when Haitang asked Xin Yue's maidservant to ask for a bundle of Fusang Divine Wood, Xiao Yao couldn't help but smile and said to Xin Yue, "If Miss likes it, then take it."


Zhuan Xu rushed over in a few steps and said, "Xiao Yao? It's really you! Why are you here shopping?"


Xiaoyao said, "I'm a bit bored, so I just came here for a stroll." As she said this, she secretly glanced over to Jing's side, and seeing the joy in his dark eyes, Xiao Yao also couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.


Although it was just two usual conversations, but tinkling of gems and Xiao Yao appeared to be very intimate, Xin Yue stared at Xiao Yao warily and said to tinkling of gems with a wry smile, "You really do have quite a few confidants, you can run into one just by strolling around."


Fenglong and Instructor both laughed, and the tinkling of gems coughed slightly and introduced them to the crowd, "Didn't you all clamour to meet my cousin last night? This is my cousin."


Feng Long stopped laughing for a moment, and the crowd all looked solemn. Feng Long and Xiao Yao greeted each other, and when he raised his head, he took a closer look at Xiao Yao, but unfortunately, the veil covered it, and he couldn't see the face under the veil. Xiao Yao returned the salute to the crowd and secretly paid attention to Tushanhou. I thought that even if someone like that had nice features, his temperament should be obscene, but I didn't expect him to be unexpectedly handsome. His brows and Jing's eyes were five or six points alike, but his were more rigid, with a bit of arrogance, and there was a faint scar at the corner of his lips, making him carry a point of severity even when he smiled.



XinYue took the set of coral make-up box to XiaoYao and smiled, "I'm really sorry, because I'm leaving tomorrow, it's rare to see a set of chic gifts, so I'm in a hurry, this set of make-up box please accept it, even if it's as a souvenir that we don't fight and don't get to know each other."Xiao Yao secretly praised, it was worthy of being a son or daughter raised by the two big families, she looked at the tinkling of gems, the tinkling of gems nodded slightly, Xiao Yao smiled and took it, "Thank you."


XinYue said happily, "The more people there are in the shopping market, the more lively it is, why don't you join us."


"Yes!" Xiao Yao agreed.


A few people talked while shopping, Xiao Yao didn't say much, but everyone took care of her, so the group got along well.



XinYue and FengLong bought quite a few more things, the attendant who followed them all had their hands full, XinYue smiled bitterly and said, "You guys don't laugh at us, our parents are from big families on both sides, we came to a trip to the Five Divine Mountains, if we don't bring something back, it's not possible to say that we can't go back, but if we send A, we have to send B."


Hou said, "We won't laugh, we'll only be envious."



Xinyue laughed.



Xiaoyao thought to herself, Xinyue was nice to hou, and didn't appear to be different than she was to Jing.


XinYue said, "I can't, I can't stroll anymore, let's find a place to rest."


Zhuan Xu laughed and said, "I know you're going to be unable to, there's a wine shop over there, and the food is pretty good, it's almost dinner time anyway, so why don't we just have some drinks and food over there, and count it as me saying goodbye to all of you."


Zhuan  led everyone into the wine shop, the owner of the wine shop should know Zhuan Xu and personally welcomed them out, taking them to sit on the patio.


The patio was surrounded by a two-storey house, four square, the first floor planted a lot of vines and plants, but the owner of the shop didn't let those vines climb, but let them hang straight down, as if they were green bead curtains, some of the vines had bright red vermilion fruits on them, and some had small purple and yellow flowers on them, sitting on the patio, full of verdure and rosy, it was as if you were sitting in the mountain wilderness.


Xin Yue looked at Zhuan  and smiled and praised, "It's a good place."


The shopkeeper invited everyone to be seated, a large sitting couch with a large four-sided table, two people to one side, Xiao Yao did not know the intentions of Zhuan Xu, hesitation, has been Xingyue smile pressed in Fenglong side to sit down. Xin Yue sat on Xiao Yao's left hand, on the side of the tinkling of gems. Jing and Yiying sat opposite to Xiaoyao and Fenglong. Zhouhou sat alone on one side, opposite Zhuan .


The shopkeeper served four or five kinds of wine, some strong and some as light as honey, and brought seven or eight plates of exquisite small dishes and some fruits and melons for everyone to choose from.


Seeing that the tinkling of gems nodded their heads and expressed their satisfaction, the shopkeeper immediately retired.

Feng Long laughed, "Looking at this situation, you don't look like a guest, but rather like a host."


Zhuan Xu, "I don't dare to deceive you guys, I am indeed considered as the owner here, I like to brew wine, it's not fun to drink it by myself after all, so I opened a few shops."


XinYue became interested and asked chirpily, YiYing and Hou also interjected a few words from time to time, the conversation was very lively.


Feng Long used clean chopsticks to clip a small dish of small jade melon to Xiao Yao, whispered, "I see you just now the first bite is this, should be love to eat, but clip very little, if you feel far away, I will help you clip."Xiao Yao swept a glance at Jing, clamped a piece of small jade melon into her mouth, and said to Feng Long, "Thank you."


After Feng Long tasted several types of wine, he poured a cup of sweet and refreshing fruit wine for Xiao Yao, "Try this."


After Xiao Yao took it, she said in a low voice, "You chat with them, there's no need to take special care of me."


XinYue had sharp ears and interjected, "My brother is not usually like this, he doesn't even care about others taking care of him, let alone taking care of others. I see that he does seem a bit different today, even to me he has never been so careful and considerate."


Feng Long lowly reprimanded, "Don't talk rubbish!"


XinYue made a face and said to Jing, "Brother Jing, you know brother well, do you think I'm talking nonsense?"


Jing smiled faintly, "No nonsense."


Feng Long was dissatisfied and pointed his finger at Jing and said to Yi Ying, "Good sister-in-law, quickly help me plug that mouth of his."


Yi Ying blushed red with shame, swept a glance at instu, and mouthed, "Don't shout!" The action, however, was attentive, helping Jing get some small dishes that were far away from Jing, and pouring wine for Jing.


Feng Long shook his head and laughed, "That's not exactly blocking!"


Zhuan Xu and Xin Yue both laughed and coaxed, Yi Ying didn't mind either, lifting the wine goblet with both hands and handing it to Jing's lips, saying softly, "Please use it."


Jing sat rigidly, not moving, a forced smile on his face.


The crowd laughed and Feng Long said, "Huh? I don't see you squirming in the past, but today you've become a bit more formal."


Jing lowered his eyes and drank the wine in one gulp from Yi Ying's hand.


Zhuan Xu and Feng Long laughed as they applauded, and Feng Long praised, "It's better for your sister-in-law to be quick!"


Hou also applauded and laughed, Yi Ying stared at Hou and smiled like a flower.


Xiao Yao felt suffocated and finished the small jade melon in the dish in one gulp, Feng Long immediately helped her with another dish.


Yi Ying said, "Xiao Yao, there are no outsiders here, how suffocating it is to wear a drapery hat, take it off."


Xinyue chimed in, "Yes, yes."


Xiao Yao said apologetically, "It's not that I don't want to take off my hat, but I don't know what I ate wrong, my face suddenly developed a rash, it's really not good to see people."


Yi Ying and Xin Yue both sighed regretfully, Xin Yue even said to her brother while sighing long and hard, "Don't blame your sister for not helping you, but rather the heavens for not helping you."


The shopkeeper brought two maidservants, removed all the cold dishes, served hot dishes, and brought a few jars of wine.


Xinyue tasted it and said to Yiying, "Not bad."


Zhuan Xu, "With your praise, I'm going to reward the cook heavily later."The crowd turned to talk about the various clans within the Great Wasteland, and what outstanding sons and daughters they had in recent decades, and what they preferred in private. You said a few words, I said a few words, seemingly idle chit-chat, but with mysteries everywhere.



Jing stayed silent, quietly sipping his wine, the crowd was probably used to him being like this, and none of them were surprised. However, he appeared to be lost in thought, but every time Feng Long or Zhuan Xu suddenly said something to him, he always answered correctly, so it was evident that he knew exactly what was happening around him.


Xiao Yao grabbed the pot of spirits over and drank from a cup, gradually her bones softened and her body shrank like a cat, propping her head up with one hand and holding the cup of wine with the other.


Feng Long looked at her with new curiosity, and did not say anything, carrying the wine altar to drink with her, when she finished a cup, pour her a cup, and drink a cup himself, the two seemed to be sparring.


When Zhuan  saw this, he laughed and said, "Feng Long, don't get my sister drunk."


Feng Long sighed, "It doesn't matter who gets who drunk."


Zhuan Xu knew how much Xiao Yao could drink and smiled and stopped talking. Later on, it was really Feng Long who got drunk first, and the others also drank themselves into a stupor, and I don't know who proposed to go out to sea, and all of them didn't object.


Not far from the restaurant, there was a pier, but a moment later, a lot of people ordered people to prepare the boat, and the crowd really took the boat and sailed out to sea.


When they arrived at the boat, they were sobered up by the sea breeze. Maybe because we are going to leave tomorrow, but maybe even more because we are young, leaving is just an excuse for youthful indulgence, a group of people laugh and joke around, I toast you a glass, and you toast me a glass, and continue to drink.


Yi Ying got drunk and dragged Xin Yue to dance on the deck; Feng Long saw a big fish swimming by and said he wanted to go under the sea to catch it, and with a flutter he really jumped into the sea. Zhuan Xu was taken aback, and Xinyue called out with a smile, "Don't worry! He's a member of the Red Water family, and he goes crazy at the sight of water! No one can drown him!"


After all, Zhuan  was still uneasy and wanted to find a retainer to go down to the sea, but there was only one retainer in total who drove the boat, and instr. said with a glass of wine in his hand, "I'll go and catch fish with him." After saying that, he also jumped into the sea.


Zhuan Xu stood at the bow of the boat and looked on, Yi Ying sat suspended on the side of the boat, kicking his feet and said with a smile, "Don't worry, he has hunted many sea beasts since he was a child, I'm just afraid that he'll really come back with a few big fish later on."


Zhuan Xus' wine surged up and his head ached a little.



Yi Ying laughed and asked Xin Yue, "I'm going to fish for the moon, are you coming?"


Xin Yue shook her head and pointed at her, "You're really drunk."


With a flutter, Yi Ying jumped into the water.


Xinyue giggled gibberishly, and a moment later, Zhuan  said, "I still shouldn't have to worry about it, should I?"


"I don't know, I'm not sure how watery she is, but go down there and find out." She tugged atZhuan , who said, "I can't swim, you know.""I know you can't swim." Xin Yue's eyes shone brightly, as if they were the brightest stars, and she said compulsively to Zhuan Xu, "Jump in with me!"



Zhuan Xus did not say anything, but just looked at Xin Yue with a smile. Xin Yue tilted her head and smiled, her charming eyes like silk, "Dare you give me your life?" After saying that, she gazed at the tinkling of gems, walked backwards step by step to the edge of the boat, and tumbled into the sea in a reverse position.


Zhuan Xu smiled, walked over, and dryly jumped into the sea as well.


Xiaoyao held a glass of wine and slumped over the side of the boat, smiling as she took another drink. If it wasn't for the fact that she had been forced by that dead devil Xiang Liu to soak in the sea yesterday night, she would have really wanted to jump in as well.


Jing silently walked up behind her, and Xiao Yao turned back, sliding into a sitting position on the deck, mocking, "Now you dare to approach me?"


Jing didn't say anything as Xiao Yao raised her empty wine glass, and Jing picked up the decanter and helped her pour a glass. Xiao Yao handed him the wine cup, and Jing took it, thinking that she wanted him to drink, and was just about to drink when Xiao Yao half lifted her veil and pointed to her lips.


Jing brought the glass of wine to Xiao Yao's lips, and Xiao Yao slowly finished drinking from his hand.


As the wine rose, Xiao Yao's hair sank, her temples jumped straight up on both sides, and her stomach churned a bit. She knew that she was really drunk and pushed away Jing's hand, leaning against the side of the boat with her eyes closed, waiting for the uncomfortable energy to pass.



Jing took a small medicine capsule and put it at the end of Xiao Yao's nose, letting her sniff it.



Xiao Yao said, "You haven't forgotten what I taught you."



"Never forget."



"Is it hard for you to see Fenglong treating me well?"



"Hard." Jing was silent for a moment and slowly said, "It's hard."



Xiao Yao laughed, "Hearing that it's hard for you makes me feel quite good."



Jing's finger gently touched her cheek, "Who hit you?"

Chapter 14 Thai Version Translated by Me 

This Love Has No Way For Withdrawal 

Part 1

Xiao Yao didn't know how much time had actually passed. She only knew when her hand touched a hard object. She instinctively grabbed it tight. The vision in her eyes recovered a little.
It was clearly a rock. Xiao Yao's body instantly collapsed. She was slumped on the rocks. She could see that in the distance,there was a dark figure at the rocks nearby, a dark figure stood proudly.
At this time, the sky began to glow dimly with the cold of the morning The tall, slender figure seemed to have merged with the rocks. between heaven and earth It turned into waiting until the end of time.
Xiao Yao didn't know if it was because she was tired  or  happy? Her throat was stiff and she couldn't make a sound. She raised her hand weakly. It's like waving her hand. But she didn't move an inch.
Finally, the person standing on the rock saw her. He didn't care to walk along the shore. But he flew and jumped off the cliff into the sea, swimming to Xiao Yao's side with with all his strength and picked her up. Both are soaked in water. Xiao Yao was exhausted. her body trembled non-stop. But Jing didn't know why his body trembled non-stop as well.

Both of them were trembling until they could not speak. Xiao Yao heard the sound of her upper and lower teeth clicking against each other. She felt both sad and funny. She concentrated on getting dressed. She never thought that she would appeared such the most miserable state.

Xiao Yao said, her voice shaking because of the cold. "Don't...don't...in the water." As she had already immersed in the sea for one night, she really didn't want to continue soaking.

Jing picked her up and climbed onto the rock. But he staggered a few steps. His foot slipped and fell.  He was afraid that Xiao Yao would be get hurt, therefore he used his back to protect her as he hit the ground with a loud thud. It probably hurt quite a bit. Xiao Yao laughed. "Yo....you...fox......stupid...." Finally reaching the shore, Jing carried Xiao Yao and walked to a rocky ridge that could shelter him from the wind.

Xiao Yao's face was white. Her lips were dark green. Jing placed his one hand on the back of her heart. His other hand held her hand, slowly conveying his magic power into her so that it circulated within her body. After several rounds, Xiao Yao's body stop trembling. At this time, the sky outside was already very bright, but this small niche under the ridge, obscured by rocks and shadows from trees, was still dim.

 Jing saw that Xiao Yao's body was already warm. So he removed his hand from behind her and felt that he should let go of his hand on hers. But he couldn't give up, so he Just loosen his grip but then hold it tight again. Xiao Yao looked at him and said teasingly. “Before you were so bold, now you've repented?" Jing let go of his hand.
"Before and now are not the same."
Jing looked at her briefly and his eyes went down.

Xiao Yao rubbed her damp and disheveled hair. and squeezed his own cheek gently She assumed that her facial expression would not look very good. She felt sad and decided to return. "I'll have to teach A Nian a hard lesson once and for all. "  
Xiao Yao stood up and said. “I am going back.”

Jing hurriedly got up and pulled her arm. But he immediately let go of his hand, as if he had been electrocuted and his face felt was burning. Gao Xin's clothes were light and flowing. The wet dress was so attached to the body. When Xiao Yao was sitting curled up so she could not feel it. Now standing up when looking at it, the waist was a waist, the chest was a chest, it's very clearly visible.

Xiao Yao saw the expression on his face. She looked down and looked at herself. Then she immediately lowered herself to sit down. Her two hands hugging her knees covering herself completely. Jing sat down opposite to her and said in a low voice: “Can you go back after a moment? Just a moment." Xiao Yao didn't answer.
“I waited for you all night. I thought you wouldn't come."
Xiao Yao asked angrily. “Since you thought I wasn't coming. Why are you still waiting?”

Jing didn't know how to answer. If she really didn't come, he didn't know where he could go. In the deepest bottom of this place, he had had the happiest and sweetest moments before. But the person who gave him that sweet happiness was Xiao Liu. This was not the girl in front of him. If she took it back He could all understand.

Xiao Yao walked in front of him. Her eyes were filled with anger and hurt. “You thought you had been waiting all night is difficult, right? You have a fiancé!  You and her go out together lots of times.

You use various methods to remind me of the promise I made to you at all times. Since you don't believe in me Why must I keep a promise?"

I would like to tell you. Last night to keep the promise I made to you, I almost die!” Xiao Yao pushed hard. “I won't play anymore. I'd like to take back my promise! You  go back to Qing Qiu quickly and marry  Fangfeng Yiying!”

Jing didn't dare to respond. But he was stubborn and refused to give up. “I will not marry her. In fact, she does not love me. Probably not agreeing to marry me", Xiao Yao stopped pushing. “I don't believe it! Why wouldn't she love you?”

“My leg is crippled. I could see that she was both shocked and disappointed. One time, she saw the scars on my body and was so shocked that..." The truth was that telling  "shocked" was a roundabout way of speaking. At that time, her face was white. Her facial expressions was that of shock and fear. She didn't dare look at him even for a moment. Since then, when the two of them were alone together she would keep her distance from him.

Xiao Yao felt very sorry. She knew that his legs were uncomfortable. She knew that the scars on that his body were somewhat frightening. But this should not be the reason to disgust, so she said, “You two have been engaged for many decades. Would she still pay attention to these outside things?”

“In fact, before meeting each other in Qingshui District, I never knew what she looked like. Because we had never met each other before. She was the person mother had chosen. At that time, mother was sick.
I don't want Mother to be worried about my marriage. So I immediately agreed to accept. After getting engaged, I had to take care of mother, and still have to clean up the mess in the family that there is no time to retreat.  I didn't even think about it again. Instead, it was the elder brother who quietly secretly went to look at Fang Feng Yi Yang. After returning, he laughed and said to me, "Congratulations, she is a beautiful young woman with a smart and intelligent appearance as expected."

When mother passed away I had to face Big Brother who dissoluted and dissipated because of sadness. So I don't have the heart to think about the love between a man and woman.

After Grandma revealed the secret of eldest Brother's birth. I didn't even have the heart to think about it any more. Until everything became fine. Grandma said that I should get married. Then I realized that I still had a fiancé. Grandma was already very old.

The elder sister-in-law was like she didn't exist. Tushan family really needs the head lady to help lighten the burden for Grandma. After Grandma consulted with the elders, the wedding date was set. I did not even think that, before getting married, I was already imprisoned by Big Brother."

In fact, the meeting at Qingshui District was even the first meeting between him and Fang Feng Yi Yang  Then it was not strange that Fang Feng Yi Yang will be disappointed.  In her heart, Xiao Yao formed many flavors/feelings. There was some bitterness and sadness, and there was some joy. She herself did not know what she was really thinking.

Xiao Yao said softly, “Young Miss Fangfeng has a beautiful appearance and also talented, so she would be picky. It's normal. Don't you take it to heart.”
 “You are...the most beautiful.” As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately lowered his head.
“Even though it's like this right now?” 

"um"

 Xiao Yao burst out laughing.

 “Finally I know why Zhuan Xu's sweet words were used with girls has always been effective. Even though I know that what you said is not true , but I still like to listen to it."

“What I said is true, Xiao Yao. I never expected you to be like this. If I had known that you would be like this even in a dark prison, I would not have the courage to speak out my unreachable desires…” Jing's back straightened up like paintbrush, but his head got bow down, like plants growing in the midst of darkness all year that hadn't seen the moonlight or the sunshine.
" My body, my voice.....Do you know why even though I know I can heal my leg, I refuse to heal it?
Because I know that even though it will be healed, the real wound will still be inside the body. Because it's the wound that no medicine can cure. I can wear clothes to hide the ugly wound on my body. I can use good medicine to get my leg healed. I also can speak less to disguise my own bad voice. I can deceive all the people that I was still the same majestic Young Master Qingqiu that towered over people. But I cannot deceive myself. Xiao Yao... I'm not worthy of you! In this world, there are many strong, smart, and handsome young men…"
“Jing, look up!" Tushan Jing, raised your head." Jing raised his head slowly. Xiao Yao brought her face closer to his. She muttered softly, “Last night a man forced me to kiss him. Now all I can think about is wanting to kiss you.” Her lips placed a soft kiss on his lips. Jing's body shook for once. Instantly, he fell backwards to escape Xiao Yao. “Don't...Xiao Yao" Xiao Yao closed her eyes and looked up, both cheeks were blushed. Her body trembled. “Jing...Jing....”
Xiao Yao's soft voice was shaking that almost incomprehensible. Jing felt like he was trembling. His kiss touched the light red spot in the center of Xiao Yao's forehead. It was as if a group of flames were burning from the middle of Xiao Yao's forehead towards his heart, warmed up his ice-cold heart. Maybe, sooner or later, there will come a day when the hidden wound inside his body, which has no way to cure, could be able to restore as good as before.
Jing hugged Xiao Yao tightly. His head rested in the crook of her neck. He was happy like it was a dream. It made him just think about hugging Xiao Yao and not letting go forever. Xiao Yao moaned. "You are choking me until I couldn't breathe."
Jing immediately released her. His face was red. Xiao Yao chuckled, resting her head on Jing's forearm. She looked at him.
 Jing felt embarrassed, so he turned his head away slightly. "Just now you said that last night you almost died. You also said.... " Xiao Yao waved his hand like not interested. “I said this in anger to frighten you.”

Jing looked towards Xiao Yao. Jing felt suspicious. But he knew that Xiao Yao didn't want to mention it again. Xiao Yao smiled and asked. “Why not here?” She pointed to her lips.

So he said in a low voice: "It's not time yet." 

“When is that possible?”

 Xiao Yao half closed her eyes. She covered her face with her hands to conceal embarrassment.
Jing couldn't answer. Because that had to be decided by Xiao Yao, not him. It's not that he didn't want to. But it was...he wanted to receive her love. He didn't want her to do it just because she felt sorry for him. Xiao Yao had given him a lot. It's already too much. He didn't want to take advantage of her kindness any longer.

Xiao Yao secretly looked at him from between her fingers. “I think when men saw  women, they almost rushed to take them to bed and take off all the clothes…” Xiao Yao could not go on anymore. Since returning to female form, subconsciously, she could no longer speak as shamelessly as Xiao Liu. Especially now she almost swallowed the words she had said a moment ago.

 Jing maybe proper and had always strived to protect himself. However, he was the one who held power in the family. He went in and out of entertainment venues until it became normal. Moreover, it was rare for young members of a large family to not have some fun from time to time. Jing was a man. He knew all about men matters. In the business field,  let alone the words that were more explicit, he had even seen the more obscene matters. But then he did not feel anything. He could just talk and laugh normally.  With Xiao Yao, he was feeling restless as if being licked by the burning fire. He make a concise excuse: "I... am not like that." Both of them were silent. In the awkwardness, there were streaks of embarrassment. And in that shyness there was some happiness mixing up.

“Xiao Yao...Xiao Yao...”, the sound of Zhuan Xu's calling voice was coming over. The two were so shocked that they immediately pulled away from each other as if they had done something wrong. Xiao Yao put her hand to his mouth and gestured to Jing not to make a sound and then went to hide.

Xiao Yao casually combed her hair. Then she ducked into the grove of trees. She walked around the rocks and waved at Zhuan Xu, "here." Zhuan Xu ran over quickly. “Why do you have such a pitiful appearance?” he said, quickly taking off his outer robe and covering it on Xiao Yao's body.
Xiao Yao said. “Why did I become like this? Is it not because of your good sister? When I get back, I have to deal with Ah Nian.”
Zhuan Xuu called the cloud carriage over. He helped Xiao Yao to get into the carriage “I still thought you would be patient forever.”

Xiao Yao glanced towards the cliff for a moment while getting into the carriage “If I don't teach her, next time, I'm afraid she'll do something that will cause father and you to have heartache.”
"What did she really do?"
 Xiao Yue smiled slyly.
“This is a secret between us sisters, don't interfere.” If Zhuan Xu knew that Ah Nian even dared to conspire with Xiang Liu to harm her, Zhuan Xu must be deadly angry.
Zhuan Xu asked, “Have you met Jing?”
“I have met him”
“What did you guys discussed about?"
 “We just kept talking. Hmm... He talked about matters on him and Fang Feng Yi Yang a little and some other subjects a little  Zhuan Xu said with  half-smile and half sullen , “You talked continously until morning and did not returned to the palace?”

Xiao Yao asked back in a reasonable manner. “ You look at my appearance like this. Does this look like someone who has been playing around happily all night? If it weren't for your good sister, I would have gone back to the palace and sleep long time ago."

Zhuan Xu picked up her hair. He saw both seaweed and sand in her hair. So he shook his head, smiled and said. “Your suffering  must be not low. You have finally got defeated by Ah Nian for once. Stop saying that she's my good sister. If we counted according to level of closeness, that's your sister!”

Xiao Yao lowered her head and sighed, then she suddenly remembered something, so she asked: “That Tushan Hou. What do you think about him?
 “Not bad”
Xiaoyao seemed interested. Zhuan just explained it in details. " He is a very knowledgeable person. Compared to Jing He was even stronger and more decisive. I heard that many years ago Jing disappeared. A lot matters in the Tushan Family were all handled by him. He did well. Not at all bad. It's a pity that when Jing came back, he had to retreat. I was very surprised. They are twin brothers. Hou is the eldest brother. His knowledge and abilities were not inferior to Jing's. Ideally, according to position he should be more important.

But it's strange that Tushan family sees Jing is more important. The group of Feng Long doesn't seem to see the importance of Hou.
 Fenglong in particular looked like he was considerate and polite. But that considerate and polite manner comparing to impolite close friendliness he had for Jing, it is truthfully making it feels very difficult to tolerate. In the circle of descendants of noble families. It looks complicated and difficult to access, but also very simple.”

“The attitude of a few important key people would be able to judge everything. As such in their circle, Fenglong and Jing made it clear that they value me, the others will naturally have to respect me in many ways. As for  Hou, it was a little bad. Even though  Feng Long accepted him because he is a member of the Tushan family, it was clear that he didn't really accept him. However, I have a feeling that Hou must not be a person who will always be under the authority of others. He was just being patient. I can see  ambition in his eyes.”

Xiao Yao nodded his head. “I feel like your impression of him is not bad at all.” Zhuan Xu laughed sneeringly. “Because my circumstances and his have some similarities. We are both being patient.  We are waiting for an opportunity to attack and kill the opponent in one go. We all want to prove ourselves to everyone.”

Xiao Yao's expression turned grave, Zhuan said, “Don't worry. If Jing doesn't have any skills, Feng Long probably won't care and believe in him that much. The truth is that if only Jing consent, he will be able to take action and get rid of Hou beforehand. But I don't know what he is thinking. Jing is delaying and doesn't take action."
Zhuan Su lightly patted her shoulder, laughing, he said “For the sake of you being the one to help bring back this lifetime of Jing, I only wish that Jing would not do you any wrong. I'll keep an eye on Hou. Moreover I also wonder...” Zhuan Xu narrowed his eyes and smiled coldly. “ if Hou conspires with Royal Uncle together.”

Xiao Yao became convinced mostly(for many parts). She frowned and asked, “Has the Fang Feng family involved with Royal Uncle already?”
“By looking at Fang Feng Yiying's actions, it probably is. Otherwise, how will Fang Feng family dare to kill me again and again? In this world, people who want me dead aren't just our few elderly relatives?"

Xiao Yao sighed and said. “I truly respect you all. This one person among you think of killing that another person, yet doesn't feel shameful and can hang out, talk and laugh altogether."
Zhuan Xu smiled narrowly and said: “Or don't you feel that this is also a part of the fun?” Xiao Yao laughed loudly, “So true!”

This Love Has No Way For Withdrawal 

Part 3

Xiao Yao was secretly praising in her heart. "It was no wonder that she was a descendant who had been cultivated by two large families." She looked at Zhuan Xu. Zhuan Xu smiled a little, so Yao smiled and accepted it, "Thank you."
Xing Yue said happily. "The more people there are, the more joyful it becomes walking around the market." Don't fight with us, come with us."

“Sure!” Xiao Yao promised. They walked around while chatting. Xiao Yao didn't talk much. But everyone took good care of her. Therefore, the entire group could stay altogether. Xing Yue and Feng Long also bought quite a lot of things. All the servants, that accompanied,  had their hands full to the point of overflowing.

"Don't laugh at us.  Our parents both come from large families. When arriving at Five Gods Mountain, if we don't have anything in our hand, It won't look good, but if we give it to one person, we have to give it to others as well.” Hou said: “We are not laughing. We are just admiring." 

Xing Yue laughed.

Xiao Yao's mind was thinking about how Xing Yue was nice toHou no less. Her expression was not noticeably different from how she treated Jing. Xing Yue said, “I can't take it anymore, I can't continue walking. Let's find a place to rest." Zhuan Xu smiled and said. “I know that you will not be able to take it. On that side there was a liquor store. The cooking is not bad. Anyway, it is almost time to eat dinner. We go there to drink and eat. Let's consider it a farewell party for all of you."

Zhuan Xu led everyone into the liquor store. The owner of the liquor store probably knows Zhuan Xu. So he came out to welcome them himself and lead them to sit in the main courtyard.

The central courtyard was surrounded by two-story buildings on all four sides. The second floor had quite a few Teng Luo flowering plants, but the old master(shopkeeper),  didn't let Teng Luo (wiesteria) flowers to twist themselves and fell down but let them dangle to the ground, drooping, like a curtain of green pearls. Some Teng Luo trees beared bright red fruit. Some have small purple flowers, some were yellow, in the middle of the storefront, so that dazzling of bright green would be seen. It's like sitting in the middle of a forest.
Xing Yue looked at Zhuan Xu and smiled as she complimented him. “It's a very nice place.”

The old master invited everyone to sit. On the large stand was a large, low, rectangular table. Two people can sit on one side. Xiao Yao didn't know that what was Zhuan Xu's plan. While she was hesitating, Xing Yue pressed her to sit next to Feng Long. Xing Yue sat down on Xiao Yao's left side together with Zhuan Xu. On one side, Jing and Yi Ying happened to be sitting across from Xiao Yao and Feng Long. Hou sat alone on the other side, opposite from Zhuan Xu.

The old master(t่he owner) four or five kinds of alcoholic beverages. There were both a strong flavor and a thin refreshing flavor like honey. Then he brought out seven or eight plates of exquisite snacks, along with melons and other many fruits for everyone to choose from. As the old man saw Zhuan Xu nodde his head as to show satisfactory showing that he was satisfied, he immediately retreated. Feng Long smiled and said: “Look at this expression. You are not like a guest, but like an owner.”

Zhuan Xu smiled and said. “I don't dare to deceive with you. I can truly be considered the owner of this place. I like to brew alcohol. But drinking alcohol alone feels helpless, so I opened many shops." Xing Yue became interested, so she kept asking. Yi Yang and Hou also interjected with questions from time to time. They talked very cheerfully.

Feng Long used clean chopsticks to pick up the jade melon  and putting it on a small plate for Xiao Yao, and said in a low voice, “Just now, I saw you eat this first. I think it might be something you like. But you continue to eat very little. If it feels too far I'll help you pick it up.” Xiao Yao glanced at Jing for a moment. The she slipped a piece of jade melon into her mouth said to Feng Long, "Thank you"
After Feng Long had tasted the various kinds of liquor,  he poured the sweet liquor, refreshing fermented from fruit" for Xiao Yao "You try this one." Xiao Yao received it and said in a low voice. “Please talk with them, don't bother taking care of me.”
Xing Yue had a sharp ear, so she interjected and said, “My brother is normally not like this. Someone else has to take care of him. And he still doesn't see the value, not even to mention taking care of others. I see he looks a bit strangely today. Even to me he has never paid such careful attention like this.”

Feng Long's voice slowly said, "Don't talk nonsense!"
 Xing Yue made a cheeky face and said to him, “Brother Jing, you are close to your brother, do you think my words are nonsense?"
 Jing smiled slightly, "You are't talking nonsense." Fenglong was dissatisfied. Therefore he pointed the finger at Jing and said to Yi Yang that “Excellent sister-in-law. Hurry up and help me block his mouth.” Yi Yang was so embarrassed that her face was red. She swept her eyes to look at Hou for a moment while her mouth was saying “Don't go calling haphazardly!” But her attitude was very enthusiastic, helping to pick up   snacks that are far away, and also helped to get the liquor for Jing. Feng Long shook his head, smiling, he said "Isn't this helping to keep his mouth shut?"
Zhuan Xu and Xing Yue both laughed loudly. Yi Ying was didn't care. Both hands lifted a goblet of liquor and brought it to Jing's lips. She said in a gentle voice, "Drink it"

Jing sat frozen in the place, not moving, his face adorned with a forced smile. Everyone laughed loudly. Feng Long said, “Eh? Normally, I've never seen him shake things up. Today this already is happening.”
Jing lowered his eyes and drank the entire goblet from Yi Yang. Zhuan Xu and Feng Long's hands clapping their hands while laughing. Feng Long praised: “Still a considerate sister-in-law!” Hou clapped his hands and laughed loudly. Yi Ying was stunned and cried one time with a beautiful smile blooms like a flower.

Xiao Yao felt uncomfortable and her ears shrank. She kept eating the jade melon in one sitting until the dish was finished. Feng Long hurriedly helped her with another plate. Yi Yang said, “Xiao Yao, there are no outsiders here. Wearing a hat would be quite uncomfortable. Take off your hat.” Xin Yue supported, “Yes, that is right.”
Xiao Yao apologized. “It's not that I don't want to take off my hat. But it was because I didn't know what I was eating and suddenly a rash appeared on my face, I can't really show it in front of people.”

Yi Ying and Xing Yue both sighed regretfully. Xing Yue let out a long sigh, and said to her brother, “Don't blame your sister for not helping you. It is because heaven will not help you.” The old master brought two maids to collect the cold food, and ready to serve hot food with many more liquors. Xing Yue took a bite. Then she said to Zhuan Su, “Not bad.”

Zhuan Xu smiled and said. "Receiving  praise from you like this, when we leave, I have to reward the chef handsomely.”
Everyone changed the topic, discussing the various clans and families in Da Haung, which descendants had outstanding achievements in these decades, and their personal preferences. You say many things, I say many words.They looked like they were just talking randomly. But every word had hidden with a deep plan. Jing had always been quiet, drinking alcohol in silence. Everyone must have gotten used to his behavior like this. Therefore neither of them were surprised, but he seemed to be staring blankly. But everytime Feng Long or Zhuan Xu suddenly spoke to him, he always responded correctly and accurately, showing that he knew clearly what was happening around him.

Xiao Yao grabbed a jar of strong liquor and drank it one by one. Her bones gradually got and body softened  like a cat.Her head was leaning on one hand.  The other hand held up a goblet of liquor. Feng Long looked at her in surprise, didn't speak, picked up a jar of liquor to drink as her companion. He waited for her to finish one cup, then he poured another one for her. He himself drank  one cup too. The two of them looked like they were having a drinking competition. Zhuan Xu saw this and smiled and said, “Fenglong, you shouldn't be drunkening my sister.”

Fenglong sighed and said. "Who drunken who? I don't know for sure." Zhuan Xu knew the amount of Xiao Yao's drinking, so he just smiled and didn't say anything else until the end. Feng Long was actually the one who got drunk first, and the others drank until they were drunk. Everyone was intoxicated. No one knew who offered to go out to sea, which everyone did not object to. Not far from the tavern was a port. Zhuan Xu sent someone to prepare the boat.
Everyone actually took a boat with sailed out to sea.
When they got on the boat and were blown by the sea breeze, everyone's consciousness  gained a lot more clearer . Maybe it was because they would be parting tomorrow or maybe it was because they were so young, and parting was just an excuse for the young people to take advantage of the opportunity to have fun. The whole group bursted into cheers. One salute another for a glass of liquor. Another will pay homage to a glass of liquor and keep drinking.

Yi Ying drank until she was drunk and then pulled Xing Yue up to dance on the deck of the ship. Fenglong saw a large fish swimming past. He said that he would go into the sea to catch fish. and jumped into the sea and Zhuan Xu was surprised. Xing Yue smiled and shouted, “Don't worry! He was from the Shui family. When he see water, he goes crazy for it! Who else is drowning? who is afraid of drowning and die, but he will never be drown!”

Zhuan Xu was not fully convinced about it no matter what. He thought about calling one of the servants to follow him down. But the only servant who was following them was steering the boat. Hou raised the goblet of liquor and said, “I will go catch fish to accompany him.” With that, he jumped into the sea and Zhuan Xu stood looking at the bow of the boat. Yi Ying sat on the bow of the boat, letting her feet to the air, she smiled and said, “Don't worry. Since he was young to grown up he had hunted countless of wild animals in the sea. I'm only afraid that in a moment he will brought back many fishes." The effects of the alcohol increased until Zhuan Xu started to have a headache.

Yi Ying laughed and asked Xing Yue: “I will go grab the moon. Are you going or not?” Xing Yue shook her head, pointing at Yi Ying, she said: “You really are drunk. " Suddenly, there was a sound of a loud boom. Yi Ying had jumped into the water. Xing Yue laughed and Zhuan Su said weakly: “I should not be worried anymore, should I?”

“I don't know. I don't know exactly her abilities in water  will know when try going down" She pulled Zhuan Xu. so Zhuan Xu said. "I can't swim, you know." “I know you can't swim.” Xing Yue's eyes flashed brightly, just like the brightest star. She said to Zhuan Xu teasingly: “Jump after me!”

Zhuan Xu didn't speak, but just looked at Xing Yue with a half-smiling, half-scowling. Xing Yue looked up and laughed. Her eyes were beautiful and soft like silk. “Do you dare to entrust your life to me?” With that, she was still and staring at Zhuan Xu. As she walked back to the bow of the ship, step by step. Then she fell on her back and threw herself into the sea.

Zhuan Xu smiled a little, and walked slowly , and then resolutely jumped in after her without delay.
 Xiao Yao picked up cup of liquor, collapsed on the ship's side, smiling. She drank another sip. If it weren't for last night, she was forced to be soaked in the sea for a whole night by Xiang Liu, the devil who deserved to die, she wanted to jump down as well.

Chapter 14...

Analysis Part 1

Their First Meeting As Tushan Jing and Xiao Yao

Xiao Yao had been swimming all night long.
Her tiredness was so clear she did not want be in the water anymore. But her emotion was a little lighter with day light was likely coming soon. She finally met with her Tushan Jing, who just flew and dive down to save her. And yep...I really like the little details when Jing carried Xiao Yao, he was as trembling as her and also when he was likely  to fall down, he made sure that his Wen Xiao Liu/Xiao Yao did not get hurt. I know Xiao Yao was very pleased with it.

Abstract

Both of them were trembling until they could not speak. Xiao Yao heard the sound of her upper and lower teeth clicking against each other. She felt both sad and funny. She concentrated on getting dressed. She never thought that she would appeared such the most miserable state.

Xiao Yao said, her voice shaking because of the cold. "Don't...don't...in the water." As she had already immersed in the sea for one night, she really didn't want to continue soaking.

Jing picked her up and climbed onto the rock. But he staggered a few steps. His foot slipped and fell.  He was afraid that Xiao Yao would be get hurt, therefore he used his back to protect her as he hit the ground with a loud thud. It probably hurt quite a bit. Xiao Yao laughed. "Yo....you...fox......stupid...." Finally reaching the shore, Jing carried Xiao Yao and walked to a rocky ridge that could shelter him from the wind.

It is totally different from how she was treated in previous scene. And I also like Xiao Yao' humor in hearing the clicking sound of her upper teeth and lower teeth, and also her disappointment her pretty dress getting ruined for this date. 

Emotional and Physical Attraction
This was the first time Jing got to near his Wen Xiao Liu in female body. In previous chapter, we had already seen him went awe with her beauty. 

Abstract 

She felt sad and decided to return. "I'll have to teach A Nian a hard lesson once and for all. "  
Xiao Yao stood up and said. “I am going back.”

Jing hurriedly got up and pulled her arm. But he immediately let go of his hand, as if he had been electrocuted and his face felt was burning. Gao Xin's clothes were light and flowing. The wet dress was so attached to the body. When Xiao Yao was sitting curled up so she could not feel it. Now standing up when looking at it, the waist was a waist, the chest was a chest, it's very clearly visible.

Xiao Yao saw the expression on his face. She looked down and looked at herself. Then she immediately lowered herself to sit down. 

In here, we clearly seen him go all burning or red with getting to near her and saw the total picture of her body. In previous chapter Jing was already moved by Wen Xiao Liu. But I guess Xiao Yao takes him to another level of attraction.

The Mentioning of Feng Fang Yi Yang

Xiao Yao's mind was on A Nian again. Since this date was sort of probably not beautiful as she expected, I guess that her protected nature for her family came back. But Jing definetly wanted spend more time with her as much as chance gave him. He was just so direct in telling how he waited for her. This angered her.

Abstract 

Xiao Yao walked in front of him. Her eyes were filled with anger and hurt. “You thought you had been waiting all night is difficult, right? You have a fiancé!  You and her go out together lots of times.

You use various methods to remind me of the promise I made to you at all times. Since you don't believe in me Why must I keep a promise?"

I would like to tell you. Last night to keep the promise I made to you, I almost die!” Xiao Yao pushed hard. “I won't play anymore. I'd like to take back my promise! You  go back to Qing Qiu quickly and marry  Fangfeng Yiying!”

Jing didn't dare to respond. But he was stubborn and refused to give up. “I will not marry her. In fact, she does not love me. Probably not agreeing to marry me", Xiao Yao stopped pushing. “I don't believe it! Why wouldn't she love you?”

“My leg is crippled. I could see that she was both shocked and disappointed. One time, she saw the scars on my body and was so shocked that..." The truth was that telling  "shocked" was a roundabout way of speaking. At that time, her face was white. Her facial expressions was that of shock and fear. She didn't dare look at him even for a moment. Since then, when the two of them were alone together she would keep her distance from him.

When I first read it I wondered why she was this angry. Was she really because of thinking he blame her to take chance or is it because there was some emotional insecurity in her? Her mentioning of Feng Fang Yi Yang(telling him straight to go with Feng Fang Yi Yang..although its sort of he sarcastic action) is the answer. I think she felt that insecurity as well as jealousy . I do not think she was happy to make him wait all night. But at the same time there is this feeling of wanting him to feel pain, and insecurity that he might not care enough for her. Because she was giving a chance to a man with a tie. For a woman, even if she had confidence the man truly loves but still their love was something that could be opened to aurrounding. I am feeling she probably this a bit low comparing with Feng Fang Yi Yang. Yet she's not able to let go of him. She cares about him and craves for the affection he's giving her. 

The mentioning of Fang Feng Yi Yang not only provoke insecurity in Xiao Yao but also Jing, because it reminded him of her disgust for his scars. 

Xiao Yao is Bold
Xiao Yao' anger actually provokes Jing's insecurity. We can actually see that it's sincere because it's in his thinking. And if she wanted to go, he will definetly let her. And to Xiao Yao, Jing's scars are not at all unattractive. In truth she did not to take back this 15 years promise in which she sealed it with her kiss.  The act definetly shows Xiao Yao definetly choose Tushan Jing. But his refusal to her was a disappointment. I like how she let out explicit things even before her feminie mind realized it.

Abstract 

Scene 1

“Jing, look up!" Tushan Jing, raised your head." Jing raised his head slowly. Xiao Yao brought her face closer to his. She muttered softly, “Last night a man forced me to kiss him. Now all I can think about is wanting to kiss you.” Her lips placed a soft kiss on his lips. Jing's body shook for once. Instantly, he fell backwards to escape Xiao Yao. “Don't...Xiao Yao" Xiao Yao closed her eyes and looked up, both cheeks were blushed. Her body trembled. “Jing...Jing....”
Xiao Yao's soft voice was shaking that almost incomprehensible. Jing felt like he was trembling. His kiss touched the light red spot in the center of Xiao Yao's forehead. It was as if a group of flames were burning from the middle of Xiao Yao's forehead towards his heart, warmed up his ice-cold heart.

Scene 2

Xiao Yao secretly looked at him from between her fingers. “I think when men saw  women, they almost rushed to take them to bed and take off all the clothes…” Xiao Yao could not go on anymore. Since returning to female form, subconsciously, she could no longer speak as shamelessly as Xiao Liu. Especially now she almost swallowed the words she had said a moment ago.

 In scene 2, it's also showing her female hormone was more gentler than the more free spirited Wen Xiao Liu. But Xiao Yao is bold enough to initiate on her man. And I have a feeling it all comes to her naturally.

The Passionate Gentleman
In this scene, we especially learnt of Tushan Jing's past and his experiences on female and male matters. Definetly, we know the man had values and protected himself.

Abstract 

 Jing maybe proper and had always strived to protect himself. However, he was the one who held power in the family. He went in and out of entertainment venues until it became normal. Moreover, it was rare for young members of a large family to not have some fun from time to time. Jing was a man. He knew all about men matters. In the business field,  let alone the words that were more explicit, he had even seen the more obscene matters. But then he did not feel anything. He could just talk and laugh normally.  With Xiao Yao, he was feeling restless as if being licked by the burning fire. He make a concise excuse: "I... am not like that." 

 It is clear Wen Xiao Liu aka Xiao Yao is his first love and the context explained about his desire with but concealed it. He was all refined and acting gentleman, but deep down he had this passion in desire of Xiao Yao. This is probably his first time experience this kind of desire. It sometimes does not have to do with how much he know about the stuffs.   

His Insecurity and Refusal to Kiss Her
Despite his desire, he still refuses to kiss her on the lips. According to the context, he did not want her to do that because he thought she pities him. What he does not know is that his refusal actually caused some insecurities in Xiao Yao. 

Abstract 

So he said in a low voice: "It's not time yet." “When is that possible?” Xiao Yao half closed her eyes. She covered her face with her hands to conceal embarrassment.
Jing couldn't answer. Because that had to be decided by Xiao Yao, not him. It's not that he didn't want to. But it was...he wanted to receive her love. He didn't want her to do it just because she felt sorry for him. Xiao Yao had given him a lot. It's already too much. He didn't want to take advantage of her kindness any longer

According to this passage, it's clear Jing must have this feeling that whether if he was taking advantage of her, probably he thought she was just feeling sorry at times. (However with Jing's intelligence he could already had guessed Xiao Yao's attraction toward him since chapter 1 which made him knew she's a female.). According to my opinion, all these insecurity came from his scars of being tortured. He had this fear of losing her at any times. But yep as times went by he would be able to confidence on Xiao Yao's affaction for him.

The Promised is Sealed Again 
Even with the insecurities, both Xiao Yao and Jing seal their promise, in their original status, again.  This scene is fun to read. It's like the couple who experienced attraction and yet try to hide their passion, especially Jing.
The background scenery is also meaningful. It was still dim, they were in front of dragon bone prison. The light had not much arrive to them yet. It totally gives the vibe of their love was still hidden under the dark. And its not shown into the world yet. But even in the dark, being together gives them happiness.  

Chapter 14...Addition scenes or scenes that are different in the drama

I really like this additional scenes of Xiao Yao exausted and beginning to drown.  She thought of grand emperor ....after all she had followed A Nian because of him, she also counted A Nian as her family member. She really loves Grand Emperor

And then Jing came to help her....as if he was sent by Grand Emperor for this mission...

And then the gang, Cang Xuan, Jing, Hou, Fenglong, Xing Yue and Feng Fang Yi Yang were all having meal on the boat, not at the Gao Xing/Haoling restuatrant. 

And at their meal table ... Feng Long was stunned by Xiao Yao's beauty.

And then Jing throw eyes at Feng Long. His mood of jealousy is more obvious.

Cang Xuan witnessed Jing and Xiao Yao together .

Then he dived together with Xing Yue.

And yep the relationship between Hou and Yi Yang was shown clearly. 

Other than that, Hou killed the fish already in the water unlike in novel he kill it in front of everyone and get red crystal from it. 

Chapter 14

Analysis part 4

Xiao Yao's Affections For Jing 
Xiao Yao's jealousy at Jing being with Yi Yang definetly indicates her wanting Jing for herself. And then when she was speaking, sarcastically that Jing should be Feng Fang Yi Yang, Jing was all quiet and not responding anything at all. At that, Xiao Yao was reminded of Shi Qi(Jing when injured), not responding her at all. Only when, she checked his throat that she was sure he was still alive. That thought made her really uncomfortable at heart and she vomited. In here, I do not really think it's the effect only from liquor or headache from the boat trip. I think it's her subconsciouness of worrying on Jing being near dead situation again. Sometimes such connections are hard to explain indeed. But surely, Xiao Yao did not want Jing to get hurt again. I love how Xiao Yao did not hide her affection. She did not let him put on hat on her until he kissed her forehead.
Abstract 
Jing looked at Xiao Yao for a bit longer. He prepared to take the hat and put it back on to Xiao Yao. But Xiao Yao held his hand. She didn't let him put it. She bit her lip and then close her eyes. 

Jing gently kissed the center of Xiao Yao's forehead, until he could not be able stay away Jing raised his head and put the hat on Xiao Yao after Xiao Yao ducked into the boat and styled her clothes and hair.

I just love how we get two forehead kiss in this chapter.

Jing's  Time Cheating
In previous meeting, Jing had waited the whole night to see Xiao Yao. After a brief moment Zhuan Xu took her home. As Jing was departing Gao Xing, and was not sure when he would be able to meet Xiao Yao again. I really like how he hid the boat from sight.
Abstract 

The sea breeze blew gently. The sea waves caused the boat to roll back and forth a little. He looked at the full moon in the sky. All he thought was that he wanted to stay like this all night long.

Jing looked at the liquor jar at his side for a moment. He put one hand on the liquor jar, he saw white smoke rising from the liquor jar, slowly covering the whole boat. If looking from the outside,  It looked like the entire ship had been swallowed up by the sea and couldn't see anything anymore.

Although, one could say he was a bit cunning, no one actually hurt. (Zhuan Xu and Xing Yue got to spend more times even if she complained) Ying sounded fine and Hou got to ride on a fish..and they still had god's power). 

Abstract 
Xing Yue complained nonstop, saying they had not remembered the location of the boat. Ony after searching round and round a lot, they found it. Then she said worriedly that all the time they did not see Hou and Yi Yang.  She hoped nothing happened to them. While she was complaining, she saw Yi Yang swimming towards the boat. Xing Yue laughed loudly. Run to the side of the boat and pulled Yi Yang up. "You also can't find the boat right?"

Yi Yang was slightly stunned. Then she smiled and said: “Yes,” 

Moreover, Jing's passion and devotion for Xiao Yao is something to root. I am especially touched by this abstract.

Jing lowered his head and looked at Xiao Yao who was fast asleep. His fingers gently traced the marks on her face. Then he used your fingertips to draw the outline of her face little by little, round and round again. Even if he had both eyes gouged out, he would still be able to see her clearly.

It's clear it is passionate love.

Tushan Hou's Masculinity and The Red Fish Crystal 

Not long after, Hou was seen soaring quickly from a distance. Under his feet, he stepped on a very large and fierce fish. He was bare upper body, revealing the skin, like copper-colored flesh that is firm and well build. His clothes were torn into pieces, making a large rope like a bridle to hold the head of a large fish. He pulled the rope with both hands and ride the fish, soaring quickly on the sea. The sun gradually fades emerging from the water behind him. Hou's entire body was filled with the strong aura and charm of a masculine man.

Tushan Hou display his masculinity in front of everyone. Xing Yue and Yi Yang acted as they were not actually charmed by him. Xiao Yao admired his strength at taming the big fish but she was more interested in the quality of red crystal got from from the fish, which Jing explained that it could be used to dive in the water longer.  But then she was not all serious about it.

Xing Yue was sure that Hou would give it to her when he asked. But he didn't. 

This scene shows off vibe on Tushan Hou being wild, advanturous and rough. It seems he was especially showing off his masculinity. But the Hou did not give this treasure, the fish red crystal to anyone.It is something to wonder about on how Hou would be making use of this.

Jing and Xiao Yao's Hearts Connection and
Their Longing
Chapter 14 is all about Xiao Yao and Jing  pledging their love. We know their passion had grown now. 

The way the context shows the way they long for each other is such heart pounding. 

Xiao Yao's longing for Jing
Abstract 

Xiao Yao saw Jing standing up at one side. On the other side, he removed the hair crown. His long, raven-black hair flowed down like a heavenly stream descending from the nine levels of sky, covering his back, blowing in the wind . He turned a side and leaned against the bow of the boat, looking lazy, relaxed, and was looking at the dawn that has just revealed itself in the eastern sky.

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Yao watched until her heart couldn't stop pounding.

Just a simple scene such as hair blowing in the wind can make Xiao Yao's heart beat so hard. Definetly she is just attracted to this man whole heartedly.

Jing's longing for Xiao Yao
Abstract 

Jing walked onto the boat. He was standing next to the boat railing. He looked at Xiao Yao. The boat had left and Zhuan Xu waved at them. Xiao Yao instead just stood still. The sea breeze blew her veil close to her face. Revealing the facial structure of a young woman in a yellow gardenia dress, standing out like gardenia blossoming in the breeze under the dawn light. All the while, Jing was silent, staring at her. Until she disappeared into the horizon and the sea. So he slowly closed his eyes. Xiao Yao ....Xiao Yao

Jing loves her no matter she is Wen Xiao Liu or Xiao Yao. But definitely her female blooming was attracting him and made him longing more. 

Their Hearts Communicate
Abstract
Xiao Yao had a hood covering her face, so she secretly peaked over Jing. He quickly sensed it and closed his eyes, smiling. Xiao Yao also smiled.
  Although  a single sentence could not be uttered, and still unable to stand close together. However, they could felt that their hearts could communicate with each other, extremely close.

All in all Xiao Yao and Jing's love for each other connects their hearts together rawly and naturally. This is truely saying that true love does not need any voodoo lover bugs to involve. 

The way they look at each other before parting ..in drama version..

He gave off comforting smile when she looked quite down.

Xing Yue and Zhuan Xu's Relationship

Abstract 
She pulled Zhuan Xu. so Zhuan Xu said. "I can't swim, you know." “I know you can't swim.” Xing Yue's eyes flashed brightly, just like the brightest star. She said to Zhuan Xu teasingly: “Jump after me!”

Zhuan Xu didn't speak, but just looked at Xing Yue with a half-smiling, half-scowling. Xing Yue looked up and laughed. Her eyes were beautiful and soft like silk. “Do you dare to entrust your life to me?” With that, she was still and staring at Zhuan Xu. As she walked back to the bow of the ship, step by step. Then she fell on her back and threw herself into the sea.

Zhuan Xu smiled a little, and walked slowly , and then resolutely jumped in after her without delay.

Xing Yue was all getting flirty with Zhuan Xu. For now I genuinely thought she was very fond of him...and quite smitten by him. She seemed to long for him to when parted. As for Zhuan Xu, he insisted their relationship was a play.
Abstract 

Zhuan Su said nonchalantly. “If I were just a normal descendant of the Xiheng Clan, Even if she has feelings for me, she will just have fun with me. If I am not shaken. That is, I don't know it's good or bad. If I'm shaken. That is, I'm dreaming and dreaming. Either way, it was all entertainment to relieve her boredom. Now that she was playing seriously. So let's wait and see!”

How their relationship will grow is something we have to see in the upcoming chapters.

Xiao Yao's Question on Life Sincerity and True Love

Abstract 
Xiao Yao asked curiously. “How do men like you distinguish between women who are sincere or fake? Even if it's sincere, how can you know what kind of sincerity this is? You must know that sincerity can be divided into many types. Some sincerity must not have obstacles at all. Some sincerities can pass eighty obstacles. But by the eighty one time, she had given up and couldn't continue. Some sincerities can only share in suffering. Some sincerity can only be shared in happiness. Some sincerities are normally invisible, but when there is danger, they show clearly. Some sincerity in normal times can be respected and protected. But when danger comes, everyone is different. In this world there are many men and women who live together until old age. The truth may not be that they love each other with one heart. A love that cannot be broken but just haven't found any proof."

Xiao Yao talked about sincerity between couples and how it can pass through times or failures. Could sincerity between couples endure both good times and bad times..even those old couple who lived together for whole life love each other or could be able to live with one another because of no ostacles...From this part context, what I actually get is that a couple can together for various reason but how much of it involves sincerity and love is in question. And can love really endure the obstacle?

Chapt 13-14 : Xiang Liu  meeting with Xiao Yao Vs Tu Shan Jing meeting Xiao Yao
 

PART 1

http://m.xsbiquge.la/book/36337/19812272/2.html

 translation via deepL

Xiang Lu 1rst meeting with Xiao Yao: The true form he is interested in

1- "   Xiang Liu smiled “If she wasn’t around, you are still Gao Xing’s one and only Princess, your dad’s only daughter, your older brother’s only sister. But she randomly showed up and took everything from you. Don’t you want to seek revenge on her?”  

Xiang Liu had to resort to manipulate  Ah Nian  so he could get to see  Xiao Yao by force . He was extremely  pathetic here.  

 2- " She fell into the sea. He grabbed her hand with both hands, and she could only be pulled to the bottom of the sea by him. He took her to swim on the bottom of the sea. Xiao Yao felt that Xiang Liu could not want to kill her, but deliberately tortured her, but she could only endure it.
The last breath in her chest had been exhaled. Xiao Yao grabbed his hand and looked at him begging. He ignored her and still swam to the deeper bottom of the sea. Xiao Yao was as if her whole chest was about to explode. Her hands were out of strength.

Xiang Liu felt like Xiao Yao had lied to him and played him for a fool all  along so  she deserves his rage  and anger and  to be  punished.  Does she? Did  Xiao  Yao owe him a thing? her loyalty?  share her family  background with him? Hell no.   It is his fault he thought she would do so after some little trip to look at the moon, some drowning and some sensual bite and bug connection.  Again we see  him inflicting pain to Xiao Yao  because apparently she deserves it and he needs to takes his anger on her.  Xiang Liu here felt entitle to a truth he does not deserve, to an anger he that can only have himself to blame for.

3-  ooh the best moment for me  I am not going to lie. I love this part  so much.

" Xiang Liu wrapped around her waist and pointed to his lips with a smile. He said that if he wanted fresh air, she would suck it by herself. Xiaoyao shook her head. In the past, she was Wen Xiaoliu. She never regarded herself as a woman. it doesn't matter how, but now, she can't do it.The smile on Xiang Liu's lips disappeared, hugged Xiaoyao, and continued to sink.
He looked at Xiao Yao, and Xiao Yao looked at him. Xiang Liu accelerated to sink, and Xiao Yao began to understand that in the face of a nine-headed demon who didn't care about anything, Gao Xin princess identity could not protect her.
Xiang Liu sinks faster and faster, but the seemingly soft water produces terrible power.  Xiao Yao feel like it would rip her to pieces. Her chest was about to explode and Xiaoyao's whole body is in severe pain. Life and death, just a simple choice. The two faces were very close, so close that almost the tip of their noses touched the tip of their noses, Xiao Yao only needed to move forward a little bit to be able to stick to his lips. However, she couldn't! Xiao Yao felt that the sea water seemed to pour into her ears and nose, and his lips were so close, so close ...... Xiao Yao lost consciousness and fainted.
Xiang liu pressed her head hard and ruthlessly pressed her to his lips, bringing her upward."

Xiang Liu tried to get Xiao Yao- as a woman -1rst kiss  but he failed drastically. Xiao Yao is not having it she  refused. She rather die than give him her 1rst kiss.  We see that she said to herself  that, when she was WXL,  she  never regarded herself as a woman  but now she cannot do it. She refused to do it  because she is a woman now so it is not proper.  She knows what he want and she does not want it.  She rejected it. Death is better than this.  Xiang Liu  has been  rejected and  knew it so he get angry and ruthlessly press his lips on hers.  Let's be honest here I understand him. Xiao Yao rejected him. He was not given the right to taste her sweet lips. After all he got to her lips when she was unconscious   without  her consent.  There was no reaction, no feeling when their lips touched.   His male ego must have felt  bruised, he failed to control Xiao Yao hence why " ruthlessly presses her to his lips.  Xiang Liu has been rejected for the 2nd time by Xiao Yao. We remember very well when healing in the cave as WXL,  she rejected his advance when he was touching her. Xiang Liu  even gave her a sensual bite but she did not react to it.  Here Xiang Liu acted like a coward toward a young woman he has feelings for. We know he has.

 Why would  Xiang Liu want to have her 1rst kiss? Was it because he believed that she lied to him hence wanted to punish her that way?   nope ! Xiang Liu has feelings for wxl, Xiao Yao. He had  told WXL in the cave when she rejected him the 1rst time  that he was not interested by his male form = he in interested by her true female form.  What he could not have before in the cave he tried to get it here now that she was a woman and by force, by tricking her. Also, he  has the voodoo bug inside him. He took it because he has feelings for WXL  but, he now via say bug,  knows that her heart is getting exited, moved  due to  the Tu Shan little fox.

I was glad that XiaoYao refused him.  I was so proud of her. Better die than give her 1st kiss to Xiang Liu.   Xiao Yao knows what she did not want. She was no compromising  herself to save her life.  Ouch this must have hurt him. We know it did. If Xiang Liu has acted differently to steal the kiss without all the pain he inflicted on her, after having a honest discussion with her,  I would not have minded. I was pleased  he got  unresponsive lips and tasted nothing at all hence why I LOVE this chapter 13.  I like Xiang Liu but not in this chapter.

4- Xiao Yao finally spoke, "Originally, I was planning to, when I see you in the future, pretend not to recognize you."
"I still have your bug in my body, do you want to rely on the oath you made?"
Xiao Yao said, "Logically speaking, only I can sense you, you shouldn't be able to sense me, how do you know that I am Weng Xiao Liu?"
Xiang Liu raised his hand, ruffled all the wet hair on Xiao Yao's face to the back of her head, cupped her head, and looked at her face carefully, "This is your real face?" ...................... Xiang Liu s hand rested on her shoulder as if it was unintentional, his fingers lightly swept her neck, and he said in a gentle manner, "Which of the things you said are still false? Why don't you confess once and for all today, and I won't kill you."
"I told you long ago, I only speak nonsense, not lies." Xiao Yao spread her hands, "I like to talk because I'm afraid of loneliness, if I'm full of lies, I'll only get lonelier the more I talk."
Xiang Liu' s nails that had become a little sharp soundlessly returned to their original state, Xiao Yao was completely unaware that she had truly brushed shoulders with death in that instant just now

Xiang Liu again  does not share with Xiao Yao this he can find her anywhere and no matter how she looks  like because of the bug.   I find it sad  that Xiao Yao does not even realise that  her original intention  was fatal since the moment  Xiang Liu took the bug in his body.  We saw Jing in other chapter telling WXL that he will not leave. This is the same thing Xiang Liu did with WXL without actually saying the words. He permanently  connected himself to Xiao Life.  She cannot get rid of him.

5 "Xiang Liu silently stared at the dark void, do not know what to think................ She suddenly remembered something, took out her wet purse, took out a small jade bottle, poured out a handful of colourful pills and spread them in her palm to show Xiang Liu, "Do you want to taste it?"...................."Well? This is something I purposely refined for you, consulting a lot of information and finding many rare herbs."
The coldness in Xiangliu's body suddenly faded, "It's just enough "
here they make peace thanks to Xiao Yao.  Xiang Liu is acting like a child lol. the poison is nice, ~xiao `Yao worked hard on it . Is giving a compliment too much? I mean Xiao `Yao admitted to to have lied to him.  We know Xiang Liu is conflicted since after ~Xiao `Yao is not a nobody.  He has linked himself to the princess of  Gao Xing , the grand daughter of his enemy, the cousin of his enemy. And to top it all he has feelings for her.

6- "Xiang Liu said, "I promise you won't tease your sister anymore, and you have to promise me something too."
"Can I say no?"
"Obviously not."
Xiao yao blinked at Xiang liu and posed as if she was all ears.
Xiang Liu said, "Keep making poisons for me."    "It's easy enough that Xiao `yao readily agrees"

Xiang Liu is again bargaining and again draw a d promise from Xiao Yao. and he of course agrees.  why was it necessary when Xiao Yao just gave him some poison  already which shows that she  did not need this promise again since any way the 1st one was still valid.  He is a friend who is not a friend. Xiao Yao here again is not asking him why he need the poisons.  This is fine because now making poisons   she is already making poison  thanks to Ah Nian so why not for him since he will eat them so nothing wasted.  It will occupy her days.

7 "Xiang Liu snorted coldly and suddenly asked, "Why?"
Xiao Yao understood that he was asking why he would rather die than kiss him, but deliberately pretended to be confused, "What why?"
Xiangliu holds her arm and sinks it down, Xiao Yao is busy exclaiming, "Oh, remember, remember."
Xiang Liu  stared at her and Xiao Yao said, "I'm scared."
"It would be worse than death?"
Xiaoyao thought for a moment before saying slowly, "My brother, who is Zhuan Xu, was laughing one night when we were talking, and he laughed at the fact that I was still a girl who could dream after all. Although just, just ...... but I'm afraid that if I'm not careful, you will walk into my dream, and you ......" Xiao Yao shook her head, "never suitable to appear in a girl's dream, that only really than death, It's even more terrifying." ...................................
Xiang Liu laughed softly, gradually, the more he laughed, the louder he laughed, he let go of Xiao Yao, his body drifted away into the distance. "

Here Xiang Liu learned the reason why Xiao Yao is refusing to kiss him even at the risk loosing her life. Xiao Yao want in a way to  "be safe than sorry".   She is admitting to him that if she is not careful their relationship could become more than what it is aka romantic ( dream=romance), but to her, Xiang Liu is not  suitable  to be  type o person a girl would dream of. .  Him Xiang liu is not suitable  to be the type of man a girl should  have romantic feelings for. We all know that one does never have control over what  one dreams of right? But `Xiao `Yao is telling Xiang Liu that she wants to be in control of just that as far as   she can and  she rather die than share a kiss with him. She rather die than taste his lips. Ouch.

Xiang Liu laughed it off,  but left her to  swim back alone all the way back.  From his reaction and words we see  that he must have felt hurt. Wen Xiao Liu, Xiao Yao has just  straight rejected him. The girl he took the voodoo bug for, the girl he connected his life to, actually told him straight that she rather die than kiss him because she does not find him suitable to dream about. bShe has admitted to him that it could happen if she is not careful hence she is making sure that she is careful to not allow such a thing to happen.   Xiang Liu could do nothing but laugh in the face of such rejection and make her pay for it in a typical Xl way.

This 1rs face to face meeting between Xiao Yao and Xiang Liu  is not beautiful at all for the both of them.  I could not help while reading this chapter 13, think of  her relationship with the 9 tails fox. Why you may ask well  because the 9 Tails fox taugh her a lot while also torturing her.   Is it not ironic that  images of Xiang Liu  are stored in the present the 9 fox tails gave to Xiao Yao?

Xiang Liu again did not answer Xiao Yao important question regarding the bug.  Their connection is based on a lie, an omission. He also does not tell her why he needs all the poison she can make for him and she also does not ask.  She is afterall developping her poison making skill. This is not what her father asked her to do it is also not what the Sheng Nong book of herbs seems to be about. Nothing good in the long run I believe could come out of this based on the foundation of their connection.

Xiang Liu  got rejected a 3rd time.  He could have made that meeting something better but he did not.  In the end he allowed Xiao ~Yao to go back alone to meet who  against all odd, she was suppose to : Tu Shan Jin

Part 3 

4 - Xiao Yao kneeled down on both knees and knelt in front of him, her eyes full of annoyance and aggression, ''Do you think it's hard for you to wait all night? You have a fiancée! You go in and out with her, but you change your ways to remind me every moment that I made a promise to you. If you don't believe me, why do you want me to make a promise? Let me tell you, last night I almost died trying to keep my promise to you!" Xiao Yao pushed Jing fiercely, "I'm done, I take back my promise! You get the hell back to Qing Qiu and go marry  Fang Feng Yi Ying!".

Jing didn't dare to fight back, but he was also determined not to back off, "I won't marry her, she doesn't actually like me and shouldn't be willing to marry me."
Xiao Yao stopped shoving, "I don't believe it! Why would she not like you?"............................

I prefer the Thai version 9 in green) of the above passage : {  Xiao Yao walked in front of him. Her eyes were filled with anger and hurt. “You thought you had been waiting all night is difficult, right? You have a fiancé!  You and her go out together lots of times.
You use various methods to remind me of the promise I made to you at all times. Since you don't believe in me Why must I keep a promise?"
I would like to tell you. Last night to keep the promise I made to you, I almost die!” Xiao Yao pushed hard. “I won't play anymore. I'd like to take back my promise! You  go back to Qing Qiu quickly and marry  Fangfeng Yiying!”

Jing didn't dare to respond. But he was stubborn and refused to give up. “I will not marry her. In fact, she does not love me. Probably not agreeing to marry me", Xiao Yao stopped pushing. “I don't believe it! Why wouldn't she love you?”}

"I have a crippled leg, and I can see she's surprised and disappointed. Once, she saw the scars on my body and was shocked ...... " In fact, saying shocked is a very subtle way of saying that Yi Ying was pale and scared, she didn't dare to look at him for a second, and since then, when the two of them were alone, Yi Ying would keep her distance from him....................................

..............................................

It turned out that the meeting in Qing Shui Town was actually his first encounter with Fangfeng Yiying, then it is no wonder that Fangfeng Yiying would be disappointed ...... Xiao Yao s heart was mixed, some sour and difficult, and some happy, and she did not know what he was actually thinking..........................................."You, are the most beautiful." Jing said and immediately lowered her head.
"Even now?"
"Hmm."
Xiaoyao puffed out a laugh, "I finally understand why  Zhuan Xuan  flowery words are invincible to young girls, even though I know what you say isn't the truth, I still like to hear it."
"What I said is the truth. Xiao Yao, I didn't expect you to be like this, if I knew you were like this ...... even in the dark dungeon, I would never have had the courage to speak extravagantly ......" Jing's back was straight, but his head was hung low, as if he were a plant that My body, my voice ...... Do you know why I refused to heal my leg even though I knew it could be healed? Because I knew that even if it was healed, the real wound was still inside the body, and that no medicine could cure it. I can wear clothes to hide the ugly scars, I can use rare medicines to heal my leg, and I can speak as little as possible to hide my ugly voice. I can deceive everyone, I am still the magnificent and outstanding Qingqiu Gongzi, but I can t deceive myself ...... Xiao Yao, I don t deserve you! In this world, there are many healthy, intelligent and handsome men......"Jing, raise your head! Tushan Jing, raise your head."
Jing slowly raised his head, and Xiao Yao's face came up to the side of his face, murmuring and whispering, "Last night, a man forced me to kiss him, but now I just want to kiss you." Her lips gently landed on Jing's lips, Jing's body trembled dramatically and jerked back, avoiding Xiao Yao, "Don't ...... Xiao Yao."
Xiao Yao closed her eyes and tilted her head, her cheeks flushed, her body trembling lightly, "Jing ...... Jing ......"
Xiao Yao's voice trembled so much that it was almost impossible to hear what she was calling for, Jing felt as if he was trembling as well, his kiss fell on the scarlet on Xiao Yao's forehead, it was as if there was a ball of fire that burned all the way from Xiao Yao's forehead to his heart, warming his cold heart, perhaps sooner or later one day, those wounds that were hidden in his body and had no cure would also recover.

Jing hugged Xiao Yao tightly, his head buried in the middle of Xiao Yao's neck, as if he was dreaming of joy, making him just want to hold Xiao Yao forever and never let go.

Xiao Yao moaned, "You're about to strangle me to death."
Jing immediately let go of her, his face flushed red. Xiao Yao laughed softly and leaned her head on his arm, looking at him.
Jing was embarrassed and slightly inclined his head, "Just now you said you almost died last night, and said ......"Xiao Yao waved her hand unconcernedly, "I scared you by talking in anger." Jing looked at Xiao Yao, puzzled in his heart, but knew that Xiao Yao did not want to mention it anymore.
Xiao Yao smiles and asks, "Why not here?" She pointed to her lips.
Jing whispered, "It's not time yet."
"Then when will ...... it be okay." Xiao Yao half closed her eyes and covered her face with her hands to hide her shyness.
Jing couldn't answer, because that was up to her, not him. It wasn't that he didn't desire it, but - he wanted her love, he didn't want her to do it just out of pity, Xiao Yao  had already given him too much and he didn't want to keep taking advantage of her kindness.
Xiao Yao peeked at him through the cracks of her fingers, "I thought that when you men saw a woman, you all hated to immediately flip over to the couch and stripped naked ......," Xiao Yao couldn't go on, since she changed back to her female body, unknowingly she couldn't afford to be as unashamed and shameless as Xiao Liu.Especially now she almost swallowed the words she had said a moment ago.

Although Jing has always been clean, but after all, is in charge of a family of people, in and out of the sex places is common, and the children of the big families are inevitably some of the declaration of lust and indulgence, Jing naturally is a man should know all the things know. In the business world, not to mention more explicit words than this, or even more explicit things have seen, but did not have any feeling, talking and laughing as usual. But to Xiao Yao, only feel the fire burning uncomfortable, low voice defence: "I, not that."

Thai version {Jing maybe proper and had always strived to protect himself. However, he was the one who held power in the family. He went in and out of entertainment venues until it became normal. Moreover, it was rare for young members of a large family to not have some fun from time to time. Jing was a man. He knew all about men matters. In the business field,  let alone the words that were more explicit, he had even seen the more obscene matters. But then he did not feel anything. He could just talk and laugh normally.  With Xiao Yao, he was feeling restless as if being licked by the burning fire. He make a concise excuse: "I... am not like that." Both of them were silent. In the awkwardness, there were streaks of embarrassment. And in that shyness there was some happiness mixing}

Both of them are silent, there is a trace of shyness in the embarrassment, and there is a faint delight in the embarrassment.
"Xiao Yao ...... Xiao Yao ......," came the cry ofZhuan Xu. The two were startled like they were thieves and immediately separated. Xiao Yao made a shushing gesture to Jing, signalling him to keep quiet and hide.
Xiao Yao casually raked her hair, burrowed into the bushes, circled around to the reef, and waved at Zhuan Xu, "Here it is!

In this part, we see from all the highlighted parts that Xiao Yao is hurt by Jing word so much that she is cancelling her 15 years promise to him.  We see her  telling him to  be with FFYY.  If Jing cannot believe in her, then what is the point of all this. And she is right, hence why she said that she has had enough she does not want to play anymore since Jing seems to be kind of playing.  This shows that the 15 years promise was not taken lightly by her when she made it contrary to how she acted that day.   She is hurt and rightly so.  Now we see her telling Jing that she almost died in order to keep her promise to him.   I would say yes and no.  She nearly died because her did not want to kiss Xl and this had nothing to do with trying to keep her promise to Jing.  She did not think of him at that moment in chapter 13,  but she also nearly died trying to come to back.   She is using reverse psychology to make Jing feel guilty about what happened to her. 

Xiao Yao  was in control of cancelling the 15 years promise. Jing did not force this on her again.  This is such a power fun  contrast to XL making the poison promise and making condition and telling her she cannot refuse it.  Xiao Yao is free to cancel the 15 years promise to Jing and she does it. 

We see Jing refusing to let go of his affection and attachment to Xiao Yoa.   He is sincere in his confession regarding this relationship with FFYY and this makes XY happy  though she is also sad. she is happy that Jing is not in love with FFYY.  

Jing is finally saying what Xiao Yao have been waiting to hear since she has returned to her / He tells her that she is THE MOST  beautiful.  This again is something that XL encounter did destroy.  Xiao Yao did make herself beautiful to meet Jing but even after this, Jing still find her the most beautiful and Xiao Yao is pleased to hear this from him. She tells him as much . 

 as Jing insecurity shows again, we  see  Xiao Yao taking the  control of what she wants and is acting accordingly:  

1- she confesses to him that another man kissed her against her will. she did not need to share this with Jing but she did in order to make her actions that follow and her words  sincere and truthful to him. 

2- she kisses  him on the lips. She has not been forced to do so. she does it because she wants to taste his lips.  She wants him. she did not want to taste Xl;'s lips at all though she  does not remember them as she had fainted. This is a powerful declaration of her affection and want for Tu Shan Jing.  It is powerful because  it is Tu Shan Jing that she wants.  It is Jing that she is calling, begging to return her kiss to participate in her kiss.  Xiao Yao does not see him as separate from the man she longs for aka Ye Shi Qi.  it is one and the same after all  just like she   WXL and XY are one and the same now in Jing eyes.   again this is such beautiful scene as we see her not being forced to do such and intimate act.  in chapter 13 she forcefully rejected Xiang Liu act and him as well.  Here Xiao Yao  is giving herself to Jing freely and all heartedly as the woman she  now is and has  longed to so so. 

The scene with them kissing is like they are going to make  love.  Xiao  Yao. is into it so much. Jing reject her in a way  since he thought  that she might be pitying him.  In doing so Jing prevent  their relationship to be cemented by a true kiss. He prevented their relationship to move to the next level that Xiao Yao want.  He also made her feel kind of insecure as well. 

Jing ended up kiss her forehead at exactly the place where  her flowers is. By showing this the writer is showing us that Jing is unconsciously   respecting her parents  since, the flower on her head is the symbol of her parents protection, This  is what Jing  has been in this chapter her haven after the chaos aka Xiang Liu.  We will see later on that Jing and Xiao Yao will find connection to places related to the blooming love and the passion that her parents have experienced as the story progresses. 

"his kiss fell on the scarlet on Xiao Yao's forehead, it was as if there was a ball of fire that burned all the way from Xiao Yao's forehead to his heart, warming his cold heart, "

 This is foreshadowing the blessing that later on will come for A Heng.  it also show how Xiao Yao is warming Jing's  heart. 

The highlighted scene show so much contract to her scene with Xiang Liu in chapter 13 which was full of torture and control whereas chapter 14 is full of healing , true connection, Jing being Xiao Yao  strength and her being his when  he may let her go, of Xiao Yao  taking and being in control  of her want and need.   By Initiating the kiss Xiao Yao is  putting the 15 year  promise back  on track .

" Xiao Yao smiles and asks, "Why not here?" She pointed to her lips.
Jing whispered, "It's not time yet."
"Then when will ...... it be okay." Xiao Yao half closed her eyes and covered her face with her hands to hide her shyness."  

This passage show it all. Xiao Yao want to know why Jing did not kiss her back on her lips.  she is not shying any from this she is direct in her question with the action of pointing to her lip unlike Xiang Liu who just ask " why". he could not even say all.  like for example " why did you refuse to take air from my mouth" 

We  see Xiao Yao eagerness. She wants to know when it will be okay for them to kiss. not share air but KISS.  When she and Jing could share a reciprocated kiss.   Again to emphasise: Xiao Yao did not even want to share air with Xiang Liu but she wants to share a  full kiss with Tu Shan Jing the man she has been longing for since  chapter 1. 

In conclusion :  in chapter 14 Tu Shan Jing is presented as Xiang Liu antithesis  in his approached to meeting Xiao Liu and his way to knock on her cold heart in chapter 13.  These 2 chapters are pivotal in the story of Xiao Yao with those 2 men.   TH is showing us and foreshadowing that nothing good  in the long run will come out of Xiao Yao relationship with Xiang Liu . Nothing deep. but, if Xiao Yao works with Jing together they will archive happiness and deep true connection.   We saw already that Xiao Yao by wanting to kiss Jing, is opening herself to him.  Xiao Yao is not a soft character. She knows what she wants and is willing to get it hence why she  does not care about Fang Feng YY. as long as Jing wants her and she wants him. She will fight to get her man.   

Without word but with a kiss initiated by herself Xiao Yao put the 15 years promise with Jing back on track. In contrast, the  promise of making poison was put back on track by Xiang Liu with no possibility for her to say no.  

As we can see in chapter 13 and 14. respectively :  

Xiang Liu = control,  destruction,  punishment,  lies, hurt   REJECTION  to enter Xiao Yao's dreams 

Jing = respect and free will for Xiao Yao, strength and safe haven for Xiao Yao, healing each other . ACCEPTANCE  to enter Xiao Yao's dreams. 

I will finish with this beautiful moment  of Xiao Yao in control of her want.

Jing, raise your head! Tushan Jing, raise your head."
Jing slowly raised his head, and Xiao Yao's face came up to the side of his face, murmuring and whispering, "Last night, a man forced me to kiss him, but now I just want to kiss you." Her lips gently landed on Jing's lips, Jing's body trembled dramatically and jerked back, avoiding Xiao Yao, "Don't ...... Xiao Yao."
Xiao Yao closed her eyes and tilted her head, her cheeks flushed, her body trembling lightly, "Jing ...... Jing ......"
Xiao Yao's voice trembled so much that it was almost impossible to hear what she was calling for, Jing felt as if he was trembling as well, his kiss fell on the scarlet on Xiao Yao's forehead, it was as if there was a ball of fire that burned all the way from Xiao Yao's forehead to his heart, warming his cold heart, perhaps sooner or later one day, those wounds that were hidden in his body and had no cure would also recover.
