Su Xiaoliu slowly opened her eyes. Above her was the mountain wall. She turned her head and saw several burning paintings on the ground beside her, along with a toppled red candle.
Su Xiaoliu sat up and looked around. It was a cave. She felt a momentary sense of familiarity. Then she lowered her head to look at the burning paintings on the ground, and her almond - shaped eyes trembled.
So she had guessed right...
She had been bewitched by the Gu art all along, and the place she was in was the scene depicted in the paintings.
He had painted that white - clothed woman, and the scene appeared right after she opened the door. Everything seemed so real.
Whatever Feng Yufei painted would come into existence. In fact, it was all just things on the paintings.
It turned out that for such a long time, she had been trapped in his paintings...
Su Xiaoliu lowered her head, her long eyelashes casting a shadow.
Suddenly, a pair of hands wrapped around her from behind. Su Xiaoliu was stunned for a moment, and her almond - shaped eyes widened slightly.
"You're the first person to break out of my Gu art. What reward do you want?"
A pleasant voice sounded above her head. Su Xiaoliu struggled out of those hands, turned around, and met those amorous phoenix - shaped eyes.
The man in front of her was wearing a bright red robe. He was as enchanting as a figure in a painting. The phoenix - shaped mark on his forehead glowed with golden light. Under his high - bridged nose, his red lips curved gently, smiling enchantingly.
Su Xiaoliu widened her almond - shaped eyes and looked at him, saying, "You..."
The moon was dark and the wind was high. The cold wind blew gently, and the empty valley echoed with the sound of the wind.
Zhong Fengyue held the Heavenly Gift Sword and walked in the back valley of the Wan Ku Valley, searching everywhere for Su Xiaoliu's figure.
He looked blankly at the empty valley in front of him. Under his white gauze hat, his diamond - shaped lips were tightly pursed.
Suddenly, a picture flashed through his mind. He moved his lips and walked in the direction he had come from...
The paintings on the ground had burned to ashes.
Su Xiaoliu stared blankly at the man opposite. Those amorous phoenix - shaped eyes were looking at her with a smile at the moment.
"How many days have you locked me up?" Su Xiaoliu pursed her lips and subconsciously took a step back.
Feng Yufei hooked his lips into a smile, looked at her, and slowly said, "Just one day. Do you feel like it's been a long time?"
One day?
Su Xiaoliu slowly widened her almond - shaped eyes. He said it was only one day, but she felt as if she had spent several days in that painting. Was the Gu art really that powerful?
Feng Yufei let out a soft laugh, walked to the side, picked up the red candle on the ground, then walked to the nearby mountain wall. He gently touched the flickering flame on the mountain wall and relit the red candle in his hand. He turned around, walked to the stone table, and placed the red candle on the candlestick.
"Few people can break out of my Gu art. They think everything they see is real and eventually go crazy and die..."
Su Xiaoliu quietly looked at him, feeling that this man was unfathomable. She just couldn't figure him out.
Su Xiaoliu bit her lower lip. She looked at him and said, "Why did you do this?" She had no grudge against him. In fact, they had never met before. Why did he want to trap her?
Feng Yufei turned around, looking at Su Xiaoliu with a smile in his phoenix - shaped eyes, and said softly, "I've said it's to make you fall in love with me. Why don't you believe me..."
Su Xiaoliu stared at his face. She was skeptical of his words. After a while, Su Xiaoliu lowered her head and whispered, "Why should I fall in love with you? What do you want me to do?"
Feng Yufei quietly looked at her. After a moment, he said with a soft laugh, "As long as you fall in love with me, many things will naturally come to pass."
Su Xiaoliu raised her head. Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying to her, she said again, "I don't know you."
Feng Yufei blinked his amorous phoenix - shaped eyes and said softly, "You do now."
Su Xiaoliu pursed her lips and said, "I don't like you."
Feng Yufei looked at her and chuckled, saying, "I know."
Su Xiaoliu clenched her hands, looked at him, and said, "And I'll never like you."
Feng Yufei was slightly stunned. After a long while, he curved his lips and smiled gently, saying, "No, you will."
Su Xiaoliu looked at him angrily. Why was this man so unreasonable?
Suddenly, a rush of footsteps came from the empty cave.
Feng Yufei was stunned for a moment, smiling enchantingly, and said, "Someone actually found this place..."
Su Xiaoliu was a little puzzled. She looked up at him. Just as she was about to ask, a white figure appeared at the cave entrance, holding a sword and breathing heavily.
The man glanced around, and his eyes fell on Su Xiaoliu. Under the white gauze hat, his black eyes trembled slightly. A look of joy appeared on his face. His rosy diamond - shaped lips curved as he said, "Xiaoliu!"
Su Xiaoliu was slightly startled. She looked up at the person coming, and a flash of joy crossed her almond - shaped eyes. She ran over and grabbed Zhong Fengyue's sleeve, smiling, "Situ Qianyue, why are you here?"
Zhong Fengyue lowered his head to look at her, curving his lips into a smile. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something. He raised his head and met Feng Yufei's gaze standing not far away.
Zhong Fengyue was stunned. Looking at the enchanting red figure through the white gauze hat, his diamond - shaped lips pursed slightly as he said, "Is it you?"
Feng Yufei shifted his gaze from Su Xiaoliu and looked at Zhong Fengyue. He was slightly surprised in his heart. So Zhong Fengyue was Situ Qianyue?
He smiled faintly, looking at Zhong Fengyue. A smile appeared in his amorous phoenix - shaped eyes as he said, "Mr. Zhong, long time no see."
Zhong Fengyue quietly looked at him, a faint smile curving his diamond - shaped lips. He protected Su Xiaoliu behind him, looked at Feng Yufei, and said, "Sure enough, it was you who took Xiaoliu away. It took me a long time to find her."
Su Xiaoliu looked up at Zhong Fengyue, then looked at Feng Yufei warily. She moved her lips and said, "Situ Qianyue, let's go. Ignore him."
Zhong Fengyue looked down at Su Xiaoliu. Behind the white gauze hat, a flash of doting crossed his black eyes. He said softly, "Okay, let's go back." Then he took Su Xiaoliu's hand and was about to turn around and leave.
A flash of displeasure quickly crossed the amorous phoenix - shaped eyes. The red lips curved as he looked at their backs and said softly, "Since Mr. Zhong is here, why not sit down for a while before leaving?"
Su Xiaoliu looked back at him and tightened her grip on Zhong Fengyue's hand.
Zhong Fengyue smiled slightly and led Su Xiaoliu away without looking back.
The candlelight flickered, making the bright red robe look even more enchanting. Feng Yufei quietly looked at the backs of the two as they disappeared. A flash of loneliness crossed his phoenix - shaped eyes.
He bit his lips, let out a soft laugh, and said angrily, "You're really heartless. Just leave like this. I won't harm you."
Putting down the tea brush in her hand, Mo Xin looked at Zhong Fengyue and let out a sigh.
"Sure enough, it was the Valley Master who took Xiaoliu away," she said as she walked to the side and sat down.
Zhong Fengyue smiled and said, "I didn't expect the Painting Immortal to live in such a secluded place."
Su Xiaoliu reached out to play with the jade pendant on Zhong Fengyue's waist and yawned from time to time. She hadn't slept well these days. It was all that Feng Yufei's fault.
Chu Weixin put down the long sword in her hand and picked up several small porcelain bottles beside her, comparing them one by one. Her cold eyes glanced at Su Xiaoliu faintly as she said with a smile, "You've even offended Feng Yufei, Su Xiaoliu. You're really something."
