Originated from mountains and seas, life never ends

Chapter 339 So awesome

Lan Huaiqiu was stunned, staring blankly at Miao Kaijie's face as it got closer and closer, completely dumbfounded.

Miao Kaijie raised the corners of his lips slightly, and looked at her with eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, approaching her teasingly. With such an ambiguous action, his whole body seemed to be as sharp and cold as if covered with ice, which made people feel cold in their hearts.

The strong sense of aggression erodes the mind, making people want to escape.

Lan Huaiqiu, who should have been frightened, did not move. He just blinked and slowly pursed his lips.

In fact, every part of her body was clamoring to leave. Her natural intuition told her that Miao Kaijie was very dangerous at the moment and she should stay away... But she was like a possessed person, not retreating at all, instead ambiguous thoughts kept popping up in her mind.

So close...

It seemed as if I could even count his eyelashes.

His eyelashes are so long.

Is this... a kiss?

If I kiss, does that mean he's accepting it?

Kiss...his lips seem very soft.

Lan Huaiqiu's gaze lingered on the young man's thin, rosy lips. He didn't know what he was thinking, and his whole face turned red.

Miao Kaijie paused, looking at the girl in front of him with a vague look and a blushing face, as if he had not expected her to react like this.

In an instant, Miao Kaijie suddenly sneered, and his laughter was full of sarcasm. It was unclear who he was mocking, and Lan Huaiqiu's face became even redder.

"What are you thinking about? Your face is so red." Miao Kaijie said with a smile, his breath suddenly restrained, the crisis disappeared without a trace, he gently raised his hand and stroked the girl's delicate and beautiful face, which felt slightly hot.

"No, nothing..." Lan Huaiqiu shuddered and quickly covered her cheeks. She could feel the burning heat and felt ashamed and embarrassed. She lowered her head shyly and did not dare to look him in the eye.

Miao Kaijie looked at the girl's outfit and asked, "Why are you here? How much did you hear just now?"

Lan Huaiqiu instinctively denied: "No——"

"I feel your attributes."

Qi cultivators with wind attributes will always suddenly awaken a skill one day, which is to control the wind and twist it into an invisible rope, connecting one side to their ears and the other side to the speaker they want to hear.

Lan Huaiqiu was no exception. She was really frightened just now, but she immediately activated her attributes and tried to eavesdrop on their conversation, but she only heard the end and was completely confused.

Lan Huaiqiu looked at the red marks on Miao Kaijie's face with distressed eyes.

She really wanted to ask him what was wrong and didn't want to continue this topic, but she was worried that her eavesdropping would annoy him, and that changing the subject would make him unhappy. She twisted her fingers in confusion for a moment.

What should I do…what would Mo Hanyu, Yin Xihui and the others do?

Lan Huaiqiu tried to think of a solution, but his mind went blank and he had no idea how to respond.

While thinking hard, Qin Xiao's figure suddenly appeared in his mind.

Qin Xiao just looked at her quietly, calmly and without any guilt.

"You're standing on the street arguing and I can't listen?

Lan Huaiqiu: ...

This is absolutely not possible!!

Lan Huaiqiu closed his eyes in despair, holding his head and wishing he could bury it in the ground.

"That's almost it."

Miao Kaijie watched her face become as colorful as a kaleidoscope, and even held her head. He couldn't help but laugh, ruffled her hair, and said softly.

Lan Huaiqiu noticed his intimacy, slowly raised his head, and looked at him tentatively: "...I'm sorry."

"It's okay." Miao Kaijie smiled and rubbed her head again. "The chances of being caught arguing on the street are quite high."

Lan Huaiqiu: ...

Lan Huaiqiu looked at him, observing him for a long time, but she didn't see any displeasure on his face. Then she pouted and said unhappily, "It's obvious that she went too far... Does it hurt?"

Lan Huaiqiu said this, reaching out to touch him again. Miao Kaijie still tried to hide, but she pulled him back and he couldn't.

Lan Huaiqiu caressed his flushed face with heartache, and activated his properties to reduce the swelling, but Miao Kaijie forcibly pulled his wrist and pulled it off.

"Why? I can do it myself." Miao Kaijie laughed and rubbed himself twice, and the mark disappeared.

"Hmm..." Lan Huaiqiu was conflicted again, and his hesitant look made Miao Kaijie want to laugh.

This girl doesn't know how to hide her thoughts at all, everything she thinks is written on her face.

Miao Kaijie didn't bring up the previous question again, nor did he intend to explain the whole thing to her. He stood up, patted his butt, and was about to leave: "Let's go, don't waste time here."

"Where are you going?" Lan Huaiqiu quickly stood up and followed him and asked.

"I'll go watch the opponents with Qin Xiao and the others later." Miao Kaijie chuckled and asked casually, "Why, you want to come with me?"

"Is it okay?" Lan Huaiqiu's eyes lit up after being successfully led astray.

"Uh... let me ask."

"That's okay, right? We might run into each other later anyway."

Qin Xiao looked at the two people in front of him, thought for a moment, and nodded: "But Yin Xihui hasn't contacted us yet."

"Maybe there's no rush." Miao Kaijie said casually without any rush.

"Eh?"

Lan Huaiqiu suddenly seemed to have discovered something. He looked at Qin Xiao's neck and asked curiously, "Were you bitten last night?"

Qin Xiao: "What?"

"Bug bites, right? But that shouldn't be the case... logically speaking."

Lan Huaiqiu saw a red mark on Qin Xiao's collar and thought it was a mosquito bite, so he said, "I have some insect repellent pills here, you can -"

Lan Huaiqiu suddenly choked and froze in place.

Miao Kaijie beside him touched his chin, looked at Mo Hanyu thoughtfully, and then looked at the dumbfounded Lan Huaiqiu meaningfully.

Qin Xiao followed her instructions and pulled down his collar, revealing the full red mark - a circle of shallow bite marks.

Although the marks are shallow, you can tell from certain spots of the teeth marks that it's been a long time. I think the person must have bitten hard at the time.

We are all grown-ups, and we all understand what this means when we see it.

Lan Huaiqiu's neck felt a little sore as he watched, and he stuttered a few times and couldn't speak. He looked at Qin Xiao and then at Mo Hanyu in shock. In an instant, his whole body turned red from head to toe.

"Sorry……"

In the end, Lan Huaiqiu bowed his head deeply to Qin Xiao, his face flushed.

Qin Xiao:?

Qin Xiao had no idea what they were doing from the beginning. It was not until he saw Lan Huaiqiu's reaction that he finally realized something. He took out a mirror and took a look, then paused.

"It's nothing... no need to apologize." Qin Xiao put down the bronze mirror with stiff fingers, seeming to be calm. He rubbed the teeth marks twice and they disappeared without a trace.

Seeing him like this, Lan Huaiqiu felt that his reaction was too strong, so he could only nod and said nothing.

Qin Xiao glanced at Miao Kaijie who was trying hard to suppress his laughter, then looked at Mo Hanyu with a look of reproach in his eyes.

Mo Hanyu didn't feel that he had done anything wrong, and even said that he would dare to do it again next time.

——Of course, these are not things he can tell Qin Xiao.

Otherwise there might not be a next time.

So, Mo Hanyu smiled, lowered his head, and whispered sorry, and Qin Xiao really didn't say anything.

After all, Qin Xiao himself didn't think it was a big deal. The main thing was that it was a bit embarrassing to have the marks seen. He always believed that such ambiguous marks left in private situations should not be seen by others. So he never understood why someone would brazenly expose the different colored hickeys to show off.

Mo Hanyu glanced at the unusually quiet Miao Kaijie and asked, "What's wrong? Did you get beaten for being rude? And now you don't dare to say a word."

Unexpectedly, Miao Kaijie laughed and said, "Yeah, he was beaten so hard that he almost vomited blood... It was really a big lesson."

As she spoke, she touched her cheek in a coquettish manner.

"Then this isn't a lesson." Mo Hanyu was used to seeing his daily delicate and pretentious behavior, so he remained calm. "It's called retribution."

“Boo, boo, boo…” Miao Kaijie instantly felt like he had suffered a great injustice, and he kept sobbing, “Brother Qin Xiao, look at him, how cold and cruel he is, so unlike me…”

Miao Kaijie snuggled up to Qin Xiao's shoulder, saying sadly and gently, "—So gentle and well-behaved."

"you--"

——You bastard!

Mo Hanyu wanted to scold him and stretched out his hand to tear him off Qin Xiao, but he heard Qin Xiao say: "First of all, I'm younger than you. Secondly... I quite like him like this."

Mo Hanyu was stunned.

Qin Xiao turned his head to look at him, smiled at him, then turned back to Miao Kaijie and said, "Very cute."

Mo Hanyu was as quiet as death, staring blankly at Qin Xiao, his Adam's apple rolling, his limbs numb, and his fingertips trembling uncontrollably.

"……I go."

Miao Kaijie paused, staring at Qin Xiao for a long moment, unable to utter a word. Finally, he couldn't help but chuckle, "You guys really...tortured me."

Qin Xiao:?

Qin Xiao was puzzled and was about to ask further questions when Mo Hanyu grabbed his hand.

Mo Hanyu pulled Qin Xiao into his arms, raised his eyebrows at Miao Kaijie, his eyes full of pride.

Miao Kaijie: ...

Miao Kaijie twitched his eyes, feeling amused but also a little surprised.

"I've never seen you two so affectionate before... As expected, it's different when you're in love." Miao Kaijie sighed and shook his head, looking like he couldn't do anything about them.

"No." Qin Xiao didn't think so. "I'm just telling the truth."

Miao Kaijie smiled and said nothing more.

Lan Huaiqiu looked at him, then at Qin Xiao and the other two, his eyes moving slightly.

……

Yin Xihui didn't let them wait too long, and was very supportive when he learned that Lan Huaiqiu also wanted to go and take a look.

"That's Chen Mo's brother?"

In the arena, Lan Huaiqiu recognized him at a glance and asked Miao Kaijie beside him.

"Is that so?" Miao Kaijie looked at the young man who was talking to his companions in the middle of the field and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Qin Xiao and the others recognized him at a glance. The reason was simply that the two looked too similar.

Chen Yao's figure and appearance are almost identical to Chen Mo's, the difference is that his eyes are like those of an ordinary person, but he has a small mole under the right corner of his eye.

Chen Yao's cheerful smile was like the sun shining brightly, unlike Chen Mo's quiet demeanor. Chen Yao was a talkative person, chatting almost non-stop with the people around him. In comparison, Chen Mo seemed a little gloomy.

If two people stand together, even though they look almost the same, their identities can be distinguished at a glance.

Because the arena was open, there were scattered contestants watching around. Yin Xihui only stayed with them for a while before going to do his own thing.

Chen Yao was affiliated with the Qinghui Academy in Wangqiu. Similar to Xingchen's aristocratic academy, the vast majority of students were from aristocratic families, with only a few highly gifted commoners being able to study there.

Today, their opponent was Lei Ting's Fengzhao Academy. Fengzhao Academy also had many children from aristocratic families, but the difference was that the admission requirements for commoners were not as strict. As long as they could enter the Chen realm before the age of fifteen, they could join.

"Hmm... this thing is quite interesting."

Miao Kaijie looked down, stroking his chin thoughtfully.

Based on the information provided by Yin Xihui, they have learned which players from both sides will compete in the first round, and will focus on observing them.

Miao Kaijie secretly noted down its attributes and characteristics, then turned to look at Qin Xiao and the other man to see what they had gained. However, he saw that both of them had indifferent expressions, as if they had no interest at all.

Miao Kaijie: "...won't you guys think about it?"

"Hmm?" Qin Xiao was stunned. "What are you thinking about?"

Miao Kaijie pointed downwards and raised his eyebrows.

"You can recognize them?" Qin Xiao was surprised. "That's amazing... I have no impression of them at all—except Chen Mo's brother."

Miao Kaijie: ...

So, what did you watch yesterday?

I only remember Chen Yao, but is it because they look alike? Actually, I can't even pronounce his name.

Perhaps because Miao Kaijie's eyes were too naked, Qin Xiao paused and slowly turned his head.
