Do You Know How to Capture a Villain? - Chapter 71.1

When Ji Qingzhou landed on the bamboo couch, she breathed a sigh of relief. She still didn’t feel safe in Shen Rongyu’s arms. Only when she fell on the ground did her tense nerves relax.

She was lying on the bamboo couch, while Shen Rongyu embraced her from behind, holding her tightly in his arms. His embrace was warm, and Ji Qingzhou’s small body was almost completely enclosed in his arms.

Shen Rongyu felt that when he hugged her just now, her body trembled a little. She seemed to be restless. Only such a completely tight hug could soothe her trembling.

Ji Qingzhou’s back rested against his chest. She was trying to break free, but Shen Rongyu lowered his eyes and whispered in her ear, “Aren’t you cold?”

It was the middle of autumn, so if you sweat while cultivating followed by the cold breeze blowing by, it was indeed cold. Ji Qingzhou had not yet recovered from the recent wind chill.

So she didn’t move while Shen Rongyu took hold of her wrist. Their cultivation for today officially began.

Ji Qingzhou’s consciousness drifted away and she entered the cultivation space, where the sea of blood was calm. However, the moment she appeared, the red qi protruding from the sea of blood rushed towards her.

But this time, the red qi didn’t directly throw her down as enthusiastically as usual, but stopped in front of her.

The end of the red qi covered Ji Qingzhou’s cheek and turned into a big, wide palm and covered her eyes.

In fact, in the past, when that red qi approached her, he did not care about Ji Qingzhou’s feelings; she did not want to see red, but he did not know, so she could only close her eyes. When she was so wrapped up in him that she could not breathe, only when she was in extreme distress would the red qi ferry some air to her.

But today, he took the initiative to cover her eyes.

He hugged her and moved into the depths of the sea of blood. His red lips pressed against her cheek and softly asked, “Zhouzhou, why?”

Shen Rongyu’s red qi had learned new vocabulary again, and he was asking Ji Qingzhou why.

Ji Qingzhou just let him cover her eyes. She knew what the red qi was asking; he was asking why she was afraid to look at the crimson scene before her.

She replied equally softly, “Staring at it for a long time will hurt the eyes. My eyes will be damaged.”

Ji Qingzhou was not joking; her eyes would sting when her gaze was locked on these intense colors for a long time, and along with it, it would also stimulate many negative feelings deep in her. She would feel increasingly uneasy, beset by the feeling that everything around her was falling apart.

She has full control over her eyes, so once she felt uncomfortable, she would glance away or close them.

The fingers of the red qi pressed on her neck, feeling the vibration of her vocal cords. He didn’t understand what Ji Qingzhou was saying, so he repeated over and over again, “Why?”

Ji Qingzhou was not the least bit bothered, so she patiently answered time and again. She found that the red qi was acting differently today. After he took her to the depths of the sea of blood, he just put her upright in the center of the white epiphyllum. The rootless epiphyllum was large, just spacious enough to accommodate one Ji Qingzhou.

After she sat inside and settled herself down, making sure she wouldn’t fall, the red qi withdrew and didn’t stick to her anymore.

Ji Qingzhou hugged her knees and closed her eyes. She noticed that the red qi suddenly distanced himself. She was taken aback, so she opened her eyes and sneaked a look. She found the red qi still sticking out in the blood sea around her, but it was rolling on her side, not far away from her. He seemed eager to get close to Ji Qingzhou, but he restrained himself hard.

“What’s the matter?” she asked him, but of course no answer came as he couldn’t hear anything.

Ji Qingzhou felt a little uncomfortable at first, but soon she also got used to such a distance. In fact, she was just fine being left alone in peace.

She turned sideways, and with heavy eyelids she lay directly in the center of the epiphyllum and fell asleep.

In fact, the epiphyllum beneath her was also part of the sea of blood, so the red qi had been watching her. When Ji Qingzhou really ignored him and fell asleep just like that, he was so livid that he caused huge waves in the sea of blood.

She really ignored him. If he didn’t take the initiative to approach her, she really wouldn’t want him.

The red qi belonging to Shen Rongyu felt the helplessness of Shen Rongyu outside for the first time. Yes, she is such a person, a lame wood.

While Ji Qingzhou was asleep, the red qi sneaked up to her. He first unfurled his palm, touched her cheek lightly, tucked the messy strands of hair on her forehead behind her ear, and then his lips fell down cautiously. It landed on her cheek. He kissed her, but didn’t leave after. He lingered and fell on her lips again.

I truly am unlikable, the red qi thought. He fell behind Ji Qingzhou, and countless forked air currents piled up, almost forming a human shape. However, there were still no complete facial features and his limbs were blurred.

The red qi thought for a moment, then split into two. He landed in front of her while the other at her back. The two forms embraced Ji Qingzhou and slept with her.

However, when Ji Qingzuo slept, she usually covered herself with something and wrapped herself tightly. In the middle of the epiphyllum, there was nothing that could serve as her quilt, so her hand subconsciously grasped and tugged at the red qi.
