Chapter 49: Brother Teaches You How to Build a Snowman
Change? Qin Li was slightly stunned. He simply stopped thinking about what would happen to himself after six months, whether he would be able to cultivate the Unparalleled Supreme Mastery or not. A real man should die with his head held high, and if he didn't, then he wouldn't live for tens of thousands of years either! So when he heard Shangguan Shi Yu's words, he couldn't help but shift his interest to this fiancée of his...
Actually, Qin Li had long felt that Shangguan Shi Yu had undergone some changes. When she was by his side, his cultivation speed would be two to three times faster than usual. Every time this happened, Qin Li would feel that Shangguan Shi Yu seemed to be enduring something, as if her whole body was itching, yet she persisted and refused to leave his side.
Moreover, in Qin Li's view, compared to the first time they met, Shangguan Shi Yu is much more cheerful, and occasionally even jokes with him. The frequency of her visits has also increased significantly, from once every five or six days to now three or two days, sometimes even consecutive days.
The residents living nearby all know that the neighbor who just moved in recently is actually a big shot. There are also many speculations, Qin Han Yue is the concubine of which big shot, and Qin Li is the illegitimate child of the big shot.
It has to be said that the curiosity of prying into others' privacy is human nature! Whether it's these poor people living in the north of the city or Qin Li with his mature thinking, no one can avoid that burning gossip heart.
"What's going on, tell me!" Qin Li smiled at Shangguan Shi Yu, but immediately his smile froze on his face, his mouth agape, and his eyes wide with incredulity. "How is this possible? What's going on?"
The veil was lifted, and Shangguan Shi Yu appeared, as beautiful as ever. Her eyebrows were like paintings, her eyes sparkled with a gentle flow, and her face was so exquisite that it didn't evoke any impure thoughts!
It was just that the originally pale blue skin had become even paler! Although it could still be seen at a glance, the blue color on Shangguan Shi Yu's face was many times lighter than when Qin Li first saw her for the first time.
In the past, Shangguan Shi Yu, if she didn't wear a veil while walking on the streets of Huangsha City, would definitely scare off many pedestrians. People have an innate fear of unknown things. But now, Shangguan Shi Yu gives people the first impression of being a stunning beauty! If the sky is slightly overcast, you can't even see her blue skin!
Shangguan Shi Yu's beautiful eyes gazed at Qin Li, then she took off her gloves, revealing a pair of slender and delicate hands, with the same pale blue color, equally breathtakingly beautiful!
"This is all thanks to you!"
Shangguan Shi said with a faint smile. No one knew how much heartache was hidden behind this smile!
The first time she found that the blue on her hand seemed to have faded a bit, Shangguan Shi Yu even thought she was dreaming and had an illusion! She specially asked someone to install a large mirror in her room. In the past, the biggest taboo in Shangguan Shi Yu's room was mirrors!
Ignoring the maid's puzzlement, Shangguan Shi Yu couldn't wait to strip herself naked and stood in front of the mirror, repeatedly admiring herself. She still clearly remembered her expression at that time, with tears streaming down her face!
The delicate and beautiful girl in the mirror looked very unfamiliar, heaven knows how long she hadn't looked at herself in a mirror. In the past, dressing up was always the servant's job, but after this incident, Shangguan Shi Yu changed, she no longer let her servants dress her up, instead doing everything by herself.
A rumor gradually spread in the Upper Official's household: Shangguan Shi Yu has found his heart's desire, and he is willing to tolerate her for the sake of pleasing her!
The real reason, only Shangguan Shi Yu herself was clear, every time after parting with Qin Li and returning home, she would carefully check her entire body inch by inch, she knew that her strange illness was really slowly getting better!
Although it's unclear why, Shangguan Shi Yu believed that as long as she stayed by this person's side, she would eventually become a normal woman!
A woman of unparalleled beauty and elegance!
As for Qin Li's emotions, they naturally changed from being calm and collected at first to feeling grateful now... with a hint of sentimentality. After Shangguan Shi Yu told Qin Li the reason behind this change, Qin Li was speechless for a long time, but his heart was filled with turbulent waves, could it be that this is fate?
Two people with similar turbulent fates, who thought they would meet together, actually produced such a huge change! Qin Li didn't even know what words to use to describe his current feelings. In short, the surprise was certain!
"Congratulations!"
After a long time, Qin Lichai finally came up with such a sentence.
"You're the first to know about this!" Shangguan Shi Yu said with a mischievous tone, and immediately her cheeks flushed with red clouds, shyly lowering her head, a beauty's shyness is even more beautiful beyond words!
Qin Li stared blankly, his heart secretly screaming that he couldn't take it. At this age, in his own world, she would only be a young girl who had just started junior high school, yet she could display all sorts of charm. If she grew up, wouldn't she be unbeatable? She must be an extraordinary beauty!
Shangguan Shi Yu was seen by Qin Li and felt flustered in her heart, but didn't know why, and couldn't bear to scold him as a good-for-nothing...
"Wow, such big snow!" Qin Xue's exclamation suddenly came from outside, breaking the subtle ambiguous atmosphere between the two.
"Is it snowing?" Qin Li stood up and walked to the window, pushed open the window, a burst of cold air rushed into the room, at the same time, several cotton-like snowflakes floated into the house.
Shangguan Shi Yu's eyes were full of surprise and delight as she exclaimed, "Heavens! It has been over a decade since Huangsha City last saw such heavy snowfall! How beautiful!"
At this time, Shangguan Shi Yu had already put on her veil, perhaps just a subconscious habit, or... only in front of this young man would she be completely unguarded and open her heart to him. Anyway, Shangguan Shi Yu did not want others to see her face.
Qin Xue stood in the courtyard, and after a moment, her head was already covered with a layer of snow, cheering like a child.
Qin Li saw a hint of longing in Shangguan Shi Yu's eyes and smiled softly, asking: "Want to go out and have some fun?"
Shangguan Shi Yu hesitated for a moment, and then Qin Li continued: "What I meant by going out to play is taking you out of the city to see the snow!"
"What?" Shangguan Shi Yu was taken aback, then said: "What about those guards? They will follow."
Qin Li smiled slightly: "It's okay, I can shake them off!"
Qin Li's smile was like a demon luring people into the abyss, gazing down at Shangguan Shi Yu's heart that was as pure as a blank sheet of paper. She had never done anything rebellious from childhood to adulthood, but that didn't mean she didn't want to try once.
"Is this okay?" She tilted her head, a pair of beautiful eyes with an unmistakable strong desire.
"It's okay!" Qin Li continued to tempt: "I can take you to stand on the top of the ancient tree that touches the sky, and overlook the whole city!
"Really?"
"Really!"
"Okay... when are we going?"
Qin Li looked at the increasingly heavy snow outside and smiled: "Now!"
"Let's hurry up!" At this moment, Shangguan Shi Yu's expression was like that of an impatient child, where had his past indifference gone?
Qin Li called over Qin Xue and told her that if the guards from the Upper Official's household asked, she should say he took Miss out to play and would definitely bring her back in the evening.
Qin Xue could only reluctantly agree, no matter what, even if she didn't agree, Qin Li would still find a way to secretly take Shangguan Shi Yu away under the noses of the guards at the Shangguan residence. So all she could do was remind Qin Li to be careful.
The snow on the ground is already as thick as a palm, and it's still falling continuously. Apparently, the possibility of unexpected events is very small in this kind of weather.
The guards at the Wang family's house could never have imagined that the young lady, who had always been obedient, would do something so rebellious.
Qin Li stood in the courtyard, circulating the innate purple energy within his body. A thin, almost transparent layer of purple mist enveloped him, keeping the snowflakes out. Suddenly, he asked Shang Guan Shi Yu: "Do you know any martial skills?"
Shangguan Shi Yu was taken aback, her face slightly red as she said: "With only a first-rank Xuan-level strength, I'm not interested in fighting and killing, so I haven't cultivated much..."
Qin Li's face twitched a few times, speechless and gazing at the sky. Alright, it seems that there are indeed many geniuses in this world... just look at my fiancée, she didn't even need to cultivate much and yet she reached the first stage of Xuan level. If those martial artists who work hard day and night hear about this, how would they feel?
Qin Liyi pulled up Guan Shi Yu's arm and said softly: "Let's go!"
The two of them suddenly rose into the air, a Xuan-level warrior, originally couldn't reach this realm of walking in mid-air, but Qin Li's lightness skill, after turning into a combat technique, became one of the rare flying combat techniques in the world! A flying combat technique like this, at an auction, wouldn't be exchanged for ten high-level combat techniques! The families that possess it treat it as a secret not to be passed down to non-heirs!
Flying, almost every human being's dream, Shangguan Shi Yu felt like a bird, rapidly traversing the vast expanse of snow! That feeling, intoxicating!
Heavy snow blocked people's sight, and nothing could be seen a few meters away. So Qin Li took Shangguan Shi Yu over the high city wall to the outside of the city without anyone knowing.
Qin Li brought Shangguan Shi Yu to a forest, and at this time, the snow in the sky actually gradually slowed down, after a while, it completely stopped!
The sky and earth are wrapped in a layer of silver!
"Have you ever built a snowman?" Qin Li asked with a smile, releasing his grip on Shang Guan Shi Yu's arm.
"Nothing..."
"Poor kid, come here, brother will teach you how to build a snowman!"
