Su Xiaoliu pretended not to hear and remained standing in the water, tightly pursing her small lips.
Feng Yufei gave a faint smile. His enchanting phoenix eyes stared at her quietly. He stretched out his hand and said, "Let me pull you out."
Su Xiaoliu turned her head to glance at him, then looked down at his out - stretched hand. For no reason, a surge of anger and grievance welled up in her. She slapped his hand away, looked up at him and said, "Who wants your false kindness?"
Feng Yufei was taken aback for a moment. His hand drooped gently. He looked at her, pursed his lips and smiled. He coaxed her, "You'll catch a cold. Come out quickly. Be obedient..."
Su Xiaoliu looked up at him, bit her lower lip and said, "No."
Feng Yufei slowly curled up the corners of his mouth. His long eyelashes fluttered. He said again, "Don't be angry. Come out first."
Su Xiaoliu took a deep breath first, then looked at him and said, "Do you know how annoying you are? I don't know what you're up to. Do you like to play with people like toys? I, Su Xiaoliu, can't be your toy, and I don't want to be!"
Feng Yufei was slightly stunned. He stared at her quietly. His smile gradually faded. His long eyelashes drooped. He stood up and said coldly, "Do as you please."
He turned around and left, quickly disappearing from Su Xiaoliu's sight.
Su Xiaoliu stood in the pool. She looked around but couldn't find his figure.
Did he really leave?
Su Xiaoliu pursed her lips. Her almond eyes dimmed. She stood quietly in the pool.
I don't know how much time had passed. Su Xiaoliu felt a bit cold on her body. She reached out to gently hug her arms. Then, she found that the water in the pool was gradually getting colder.
She looked at the phoenix - shaped spout where the water was constantly flowing down and found that the water no longer steamed. Had the water been replaced with cold water?
Su Xiaoliu slightly widened her almond eyes. Her body was getting colder and colder.
"Aren't you coming out yet?"
Suddenly, that familiar and pleasant voice sounded above her head.
Su Xiaoliu suddenly looked up. Feng Yufei was looking at her quietly. There was no trace of emotion in his phoenix eyes.
Su Xiaoliu gritted her teeth. She knew it was him who deliberately replaced the water with cold water. She looked at him stubbornly and said, "No."
Feng Yufei stared at her silently. Su Xiaoliu suddenly found that the water in the pool was even colder. There was even a biting coldness rising. She turned to look and saw that there were faintly broken pieces of ice mixed in the water flowing out of the phoenix's mouth...
Su Xiaoliu gritted her teeth. Her shoulders were shivering from the cold, but she still stood in the pool, looking up and meeting Feng Yufei's eyes.
Those phoenix eyes stared at her quietly. Suddenly, a trace of anger flashed in them. He said angrily with a smile, "I should have replaced the water with hot water."
Then, he walked straight into the pool. The hem of his crimson robe fluttered on the water surface. He reached out and grabbed Su Xiaoliu's wrist, then picked her up and walked to the shore.
The moment she touched his warm body, all of Su Xiaoliu's stubbornness was instantly shattered. She trembled slightly and let him carry her to the shore.
He put her down on a rock. Feng Yufei slowly lowered his head. His long eyelashes drooped. He let out a soft sigh and said gently, "Don't make me angry anymore..."
A deluge of red fell. Su Xiaoliu only felt a sudden wave of drowsiness. Then, her vision went black, and she felt nothing.
The red silk fluttered gently, and a faint fragrance filled the air.
Su Xiaoliu was sitting in front of the sandalwood table, quietly staring at the red candle on the table. The firelight flickered in her almond eyes.
She couldn't help but let out a long sigh, feeling sad about her tragic fate. She had been trapped here by that Feng Yufei for God knows how many days. She still hadn't found his fatal weakness, but the idea of leaving here was getting stronger day by day.
Fatal weakness?
Su Xiaoliu suddenly paused and sat up straight.
Why did she have to look for his weakness? She could look for a way to leave here.
It was really hard to find his weakness if she didn't look carefully, but if she was determined to find a way to leave here, she surely could. Since she could come here, she must be able to leave.
Su Xiaoliu curled up the corners of her mouth. She stood up and carefully inspected the room.
She knew there was something unusual about this place, but she couldn't tell exactly what it was. She just vaguely felt that it was very strange.
Su Xiaoliu glanced at the closed wooden door. She quickly walked over. Through the paper window, she could only see darkness.
Su Xiaoliu frowned. She carefully pushed open the wooden door. The door opened a crack. She looked outside, and there was an endless expanse of darkness.
What's going on?
Su Xiaoliu opened the door wider. From the threshold to the outside, it was like two different worlds. It was so dark outside that she couldn't see anything. She thought for a while and walked outside.
As soon as she stepped out, the darkness surrounded her completely. Su Xiaoliu felt a bit scared, but the thought of leaving here flashed through her mind. She composed herself, let out a soft breath, and summoned up her courage to walk forward.
The candlelight from the room illuminated the first few steps in front of her. The further she walked, the less she could see. Whether her eyes were open or closed, it was all black. Su Xiaoliu began to feel afraid.
She bit her lip. Just as she decided to turn back, light suddenly shone under her feet. Su Xiaoliu looked down and saw that the surrounding darkness was receding. She was stunned for a moment. Then, she saw lush green grass, blooming peach blossoms, a clear blue sky, and a gentle breeze...
Suddenly, a shower of peach blossoms fell and landed on her head. Su Xiaoliu looked up and found that there were several peach trees beside her. Then, a few wild rabbits scurried past her feet. Su Xiaoliu stared blankly at the mountains full of blooming flowers. A gentle breeze blew, carrying the fragrance of the flowers.
Where was this? Why did all these things suddenly appear?
Su Xiaoliu was even more certain that she had been brought to a very special place.
She looked around and walked forward according to her feeling.
The terrain here was very familiar. The more Su Xiaoliu looked, the more she felt that she had seen it somewhere.
In front of her was a very large parasol tree. She looked up. The branches and leaves of the parasol tree were lush and swayed gently in the wind. Two or three green leaves would fall from time to time. Su Xiaoliu quietly walked up to the parasol tree and slowly reached out to touch the trunk.
It was like an electric shock to her fingertips. Su Xiaoliu only felt a jolt in her mind. She quickly withdrew her hand and looked up at the parasol tree.
"The phoenix soars on high, relying on the parasol tree..." she murmured softly.
She slowly squatted down and closed her eyes. Just now, many fragmented pictures had flashed through her mind, but they were so fast that she couldn't catch anything.
"This is what Wanku Valley used to look like."
Suddenly, a pleasant voice sounded above her head. Su Xiaoliu suddenly looked up and met those enchanting phoenix eyes.
The person coming was wearing a crimson robe. Under his high - bridged nose, his red lips were slightly raised. His long black hair was scattered in the wind. The long silk ribbon around his waist fluttered gently. His enchanting appearance was like a painting, too exquisite to describe.
Su Xiaoliu stared blankly at him and suddenly remembered what he had just said.
This... was what Wanku Valley used to look like?
