âKong Qing, I am the handsome and rich Sheng Xiao. Did your father ever mention me to you?â Sheng Xiao tried to persuade Kong Qing to give him some useful information.
Kong Qing sat on the tree trunk and swung his legs. He said in an extremely contented manner, âYes, Father told Yu Huang that after Yu Huang gets married, she has to take charge of the family assets and take care of him and me.â
Kong Qing looked up at the clear sky and said innocently, âDad said that your family is very rich and can buy a lot of sweet potatoes. Is it true that you made me 100 cans of sweet potato syrup?â
Sheng Xiao was caught between laughter and tears. How did Lin Jiansheng, that cunning fellow, give birth to such an innocent and cute son?
Could Kong Qingâs mother be a foolish girl who was successfully tricked by Lin Jiansheng into giving birth?
âThatâs right. My family is rich. I can make you as much sweet potato and sugar as you want. Kong Qing, can you pass the phone to Yu Huang? I have something to say to Yu Huang.â
âYu Huang?â Kong Qing stared at the endless expanse of Broken Cliff at the bottom of the cliff. He said, âWait for me, Iâll go look for Yu Huang. Sheâs busy fighting monsters every day.â
As he spoke, Kong Qing grabbed the phone and jumped down the cliff from the tree before landing steadily in Broken Cliff.
At the same time, Sheng Xiaoâs phone started buzzing.
After a while, the call was cut off because there was no signal.
Kong Qing ran to the depths of the fog and found Yu Huang. She was fighting a huge monster. Kong Qing did not dare to disturb her. He held the phone and waited quietly.
After about forty minutes, Yu Huang finally finished Spirit Purifying for the monster. She licked her lips in satisfaction and opened her eyes to find someone beside her.
Yu Huang stared at the thick fog for a moment before she shouted uncertainly, âKong Qing, is that you?â
âItâs me!â Kong Qing immediately raised his phone and tried his best to jump into the thick fog.
Yu Huang watched as a small head emerged from the thick fog, then buried itself into the thick fog. She walked in front of Kong Qing, bent down, and picked him up.
Kong Qing handed the phone to Yu Huang and said, âThereâs a rich man on the phone. Heâs looking for you.â
Rich man?
Yu Huang opened the call log and saw Sheng Xiaoâs name.
Yu Huang did not have time to think about Sheng Xiao when she got busy. She felt heartened when she saw his name.
It was like a weak electric current had entered her body. In an instant, the accumulated longing surged into her heart like a tide.
âGo play. I need to talk to the rich guy on the phone.â
âOkay!â Kong Qing slipped out of her arms, slipped into the thick fog, and ran away.
Yu Huang called Sheng Xiao, but the call did not go through. She flew out of Broken Cliff and went to the tree where Kong Qing was sitting.
Having not seen the sun for a long time, Yu Huang was not used to the glaring light.
She closed her eyes and waited for her eyes to adjust to the bright light before she opened them. She turned on her phone and called Sheng Xiao.
Sheng Xiao did not receive Yu Huangâs call. He thought that Kong Qing did not pass the message to Yu Huang. He was about to jump off the tree when his phone rang.
Sheng Xiao saw Yu Huangâs WeChat profile picture and quickly answered the call.
When the video call went through, the beautiful face that he had missed for a long time appeared on the screen. Sheng Xiao zoomed in on Yu Huangâs face and stared at the person in the video. He did not speak for a long time.
It was said that the camera added ten pounds, but when Yu Huangâs face was shown on the camera, her facial features were still deep, and her eyes were bright. She could withstand the demonization of the camera.
They had not seen each other for more than two months. Sheng Xiao felt wronged.
âDidnât you think of calling me?â Sheng Xiao asked.
Yu Huang said, âI did, but there was no signal. I couldnât get through.â
Sheng Xiao wanted to ask Yu Huang to take a screenshot of her call history for him to see. But, he quickly suppressed the thought.
When did he become such a petty man?
Yu Huang saw that Sheng Xiao was upset. She asked, âWhat are you thinking about? If you donât tell me, I wonât be able to guess.â
Yu Huang did not like the fact that Sheng Xiao had something on his mind but wouldnât tell her. âI canât read your mind. If you have any questions, just tell me. We can solve them together.â
She was extremely rational and mature.
Sheng Xiao agreed with Yu Huang. He said straightforwardly, âIâve been calling you every day for the past two months. Iâve never gotten through to you. Sometimes, I would let my imagination run wild. I would wonder if you still love me. Is it because weâre in a long-distance relationship that your feelings for me have faded? Otherwise, why didnât you call me for the past two months?â
âI even wanted to check your phone records to see if you were lying and to see if you called me.â
Sheng Xiao felt ashamed and embarrassed.
It was so immature to have such thoughts.
Sheng Xiao thought that Yu Huang would be angry.
After all, the thoughts of girls were hard to fathom.
Yu Huang laughed. âLittle friend, youâre jealous of me and worried about me. Youâre quite cute.â Yu Huang looked at him with a smile. She suddenly said, âIf you were in front of me, I would bang you.â
Sheng Xiao was stunned.
Yu Huangâs perverted joke suddenly brought the distance between them closer.
Yu Huang exited the chat history and opened the call history. She clicked on the call history between her and Sheng Xiao. Then, she sent a screenshot to Sheng Xiao.
After Sheng Xiao received the picture, he opened it. He realized that Yu Huang had indeed called him. She only called him three times.
Sheng Xiaoâs expression darkened. âYouâve only called me three times in two months. Iâve called you more than thirty times.â
Yu Huang raised her chin slightly. In the camera, her expression looked arrogant. âAre you trying to compare the number of calls between us to see who loves the other more?â
Sheng Xiao stared at Yu Huang. For some reason, another image appeared in his mind. In that image, Yu Huang was wearing a black battle robe that was gradually turning golden. She was wearing a phoenix feather on her head. She was always looking down at him with a superior attitude.
Sheng Xiao felt transfixed. This was the second time he saw Yu Huang dressed like that.
Who did he see?
Yu Huang narrowed her eyes and looked at Sheng Xiaoâs handsome face. She said, âI didnât call you because I knew there was no signal. Besides, I came to Broken Cliff to cultivate in seclusion. Cultivation should be done properly. Do you believe me? Even if I donât call you, Iâm still willing to risk my life for you when you face danger.â
Sheng Xiaoâs heart ached when he heard the words ârisk my lifeâ. It was so painful and he did not know why. âDonât say that.â
âAlright, I wonât say it.â Yu Huang stared at Sheng Xiao for a while more. Then, she softened her tone and said, âSheng Xiao, I have lived for more than two hundred years. I am not a real twenty-year-old girl. My feelings may not be as passionate as those of young girls, but I have hidden that passion in my heart. It is burning all the time. Just because you canât see it doesnât mean it doesnât exist.â
This was undoubtedly a confession.
Sheng Xiao felt both happy and ashamed when he heard that. Compared to Yu Huang, he was indeed immature.
Besides, Yu Huangâs eyes brightened when she saw him when the video call went through. Love could not be hidden. Sheng Xiao believed that Yu Huang loved him deeply too.
âIâm being unreasonable.â Sheng Xiao was ashamed. âDo you think that Iâm immature?â
Yu Huang said with a smile, âNo, I only think that youâre very lovable.â Jealousy over her really touched Yu Huangâs heart.
Sheng Xiao was finally relieved.
âBy the way, in the movies youâve filmed, have you ever worn a black battle robe with a phoenix feather on your head?â
Yu Huang shook her head. âNo.â She remembered that Sheng Xiao had asked her similar questions when they were in Cong Lang Mystic Realm. âWhat do you want to know?â
Sheng Xiao told her, âI donât know why, but after I lost my memory, I sometimes see another side of you through you.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âMy other side?â Yu Huang was confused by Sheng Xiaoâs words. âWhat side?â
Sheng Xiao thought for a while and said, âWait for me. Iâll draw it for you.â
Sheng Xiao was a professional at drawing. He opened the canvas on his phone and took twenty minutes to draw the other side of Yu Huang.
During the process, their video call did not end.
