Chapter 60 Kissing Dream
Chapter 60 Kissing Dream
Qi Yuxuan took a deep breath, his heart suddenly pounding.
He forced himself to calm down and listened quietly to what Qiu Ziyue had to say.
"You mean that big ice block? Ugh, he's driving me crazy. No matter how I explain it to him, he won't listen."
"I hate him so much! I'm not angry unless I mention him, but I get angry just thinking about him," Qiu Ziyue said.
"Then why did you make a bet with him? Sister Ziyue, this isn't like you. You're so smart and outstanding, why make yourself a laughingstock in the martial arts world?"
Liu Xu said.
Upon hearing this, Qi Yuxuan's heart skipped a beat, and he felt a chill, but he still wanted to hear what Qiu Ziyue had to say.
"Oh dear, you don't know, I'll tell you later. If I tell you now, you might not believe me. I'm not from this dynasty, I'm not from your world."
"I'm from the future. I did this at someone's request. Well, I'll explain later."
Qiu Ziyue said.
"Sister, what are you saying? I really don't understand," Liu Xu said.
"Oh, never mind, let's not talk about this anymore, we can talk about it later," Qiu Ziyue said, shaking her arm to end the conversation.
Inside the room, the willow catkins chuckled mischievously:
"Okay, I won't pressure you anymore. As long as you're happy, that's all that matters. Oh, and when you're all healed, take me with you guys when you're out having fun, okay?"
"Okay!" The master and servant laughed, making Lu Minglou feel especially warm.
Qi Yuxuan was very disappointed. Not only did he not get the result he wanted, but he was also furious at what Qiu Ziyue said.
"If you have no interest in me, why did you provoke me and make me a laughing stock in the martial arts world? That's outrageous."
Qi Yuxuan quietly left that corner and left Lu Minglou. He wanted to return to his residence to make further plans.
Back at his residence, Qi Yuxuan picked up his longsword again and began a new round of practice.
He poured all his troubles and anger into every move and stance, hoping to find inner peace through it.
After finishing his sword practice, he returned to his study, where he fell into a deep sleep, utterly exhausted.
He gradually drifted off to sleep, and in his dream he returned to his childhood.
In his dream, he gently walked up to Tao Ling'er.
He gently closed his eyes and kissed her forehead, then lightly kissed her little mouth.
Tao Ling'er's cheeks flushed, her eyes filled with shyness and happiness.
They kissed each other, their kiss sweet and tender.
As he slowly opened his eyes, he was surprised to find himself kissing Qiu Ziyue.
Qiu Ziyue's eyes were half-open as she looked at him with a blank expression.
Qi Yuxuan was somewhat surprised and felt a sense of panic.
"What...what's going on?"
He muttered to himself, then suddenly woke up, realizing it was all just a dream.
Qi Yuxuan slapped his forehead and cursed inwardly:
"Seriously, how could I have such an absurd dream!"
He got up and walked to the window, gazing at the tranquil night outside, but his heart was still unsettled.
The dream left him feeling both embarrassed and confused, unsure how to interpret this absurd dream.
He sighed softly, deciding to put the dream aside for the time being and continue taking care of Qi Yushuang.
However, the scene from that dream kept lingering in his mind, making him blush and his heart race.
Before I knew it, it was already morning, and sunlight streamed into the room through the window.
Qiu Ziyue rubbed her sleepy eyes and stretched.
Last night's conversation with Liu Xu filled her heart with the warmth of family affection, after all, she had traveled from modern society.
She is now like a child without parents. Although she has her senior brothers and masters by her side, she still feels that she lacks the warmth and care of relatives.
But since Liu Xu came to her side, she felt she had the support of family.
Qiu Ziyue got up, looked out the window, and took a deep breath of fresh air.
The flowers in the yard have already bloomed, emitting a faint fragrance.
Qiu Ziyue stood by the window, gazing at the distant scenery, but felt a little anxious.
She was thinking about the upcoming swordsmanship competition, but she was still injured.
Just then, there was a soft knock on the door.
Qiu Ziyue snapped out of her daze and responded:
"Come in."
The door slowly opened, and Lu Yuanchangming and a dashing man dressed in a black battle robe walked in.
Qiu Ziyue was slightly taken aback, then politely asked:
"Who are you? What can I do for you?"
Li Cunxiao bowed and said respectfully:
“Miss Qiu, I have come to pay my respects on the orders of Prince Jin. I am Li Cunxiao, one of his Thirteen Protectors. Prince Jin wishes to visit you in person. I wonder if Miss Qiu has the time?”
Qiu Ziyue frowned slightly, pondering to herself.
Lu Yuanchangming hurriedly said:
"This morning, General Li knocked on the door and said he had something to visit. I asked and found out that it was Prince Jin who sent someone to ask in advance if Miss Qiu had time."
Lu Yuanchangming stepped forward and cupped his hands in greeting:
"General Li, is the matter concerning the Prince of Jin urgent?"
Li Cunxiao smiled slightly and replied:
"His Highness Prince Jin has no particularly urgent business; he simply wishes to discuss some important matters with Miss Qiu. If Miss Qiu has other plans, we can choose another date."
Seeing this, Qiu Ziyue felt somewhat relieved, and then said:
"General Li, how about this: I will wait for Prince Jin's arrival at Luming Tower tomorrow."
Li Cunxiao nodded in agreement:
"Very well, then I will go back and report to Prince Jin. Prince Jin will come to visit on time tomorrow."
After saying that, Li Cunxiao turned and left the room.
After Li Cunxiao walked away, Qiu Ziyue breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Qiu Ziyue's three senior brothers walked in and asked who the person who had just come was.
Qiu Ziyue told them it was Li Cunxiao.
“Li Cunxiao is truly a great hero,” Qiu Langyu said.
“Yes, Brother Langyu, you’ve also heard of the Thirteen Protectors,” Lu Yuan said.
Qiu Langyu said he had heard a little about it.
Lu Yuanchangming said that in recent years he has enjoyed wandering around like a hermit, so he has heard a lot about the Thirteen Protectors.
Seeing that everyone was very interested in Li Cunxiao, he began to talk about him.
It is said that Li Cunxiao, the Thirteenth Protector, was Li Keyong's thirteenth adopted son, and was known as the "Thirteenth Protector".
Li Cunxiao, one of the Thirteen Protectors, was known as "No king can surpass Ba, no general can surpass Li," and he single-handedly shook the world with his power.
He could take Chang'an with eighteen light cavalry, and his 500 Flying Tiger Soldiers made his opponents tremble with fear and his name spread throughout the world.
Li Keyong's constant companion was none other than Li Cunxiao, one of the Thirteen Bodyguards.
Qiu Ziyue smiled and said:
"From what you're saying, it seems he's a skilled fighter?"
Lu Yuanchangming picked up the conversation and continued:
"Indeed, Li Cunxiao's achievements are countless. He possesses outstanding military talent and fierce fighting ability, quickly defeating Huang Qiyi's army and recapturing Chang'an."
"Furthermore, he was so brave that he successfully ambushed an army several times his size with only a small number of elite soldiers, making the enemy tremble with fear."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Ziyue raised her finger and said, "Awesome."
"And the most impressive thing was that time at Shangyuan Post Station, when Zhu Wen wanted to get rid of the Prince of Jin, so he besieged the Prince of Jin."
"General Li Cunxiao, wielding a long spear, was incredibly brave, killing anyone who stood in his way, and ultimately rescued the Prince of Jin."
Lu Yuan sighed deeply.
The group fell silent for a moment upon hearing this.
"Thank you, Brother Changming. It seems you really know a lot about military affairs. Are you someone from the imperial court?" Qiu Ziyue said.
"Not at all, I only heard it secondhand," Lu Yuanchangming said with a smile.
