Chapter 133 Possessing His Tenderness
"Soul?" Ji Xing's pupils dilated in shock, realizing that the two were talking about completely different things. After a slight sigh of relief, he tensed up again, grabbing Jiang Lin's shoulders anxiously and asking, "What's wrong with your soul? What do you mean by 'unclean'?"
Jiang Lin felt like he was sitting on pins and needles under Ji Xingyi's gaze. After thinking for a moment, he carefully replied, "Unclean means impure."
"If I said my soul is different from that of a normal human, would you... be afraid?"
"A new world?" Ji Xingyi asked in disbelief, her heart aching. "What did they do to you?"
Looking at Ji Xingyi's flustered appearance, Jiang Lin felt a surge of warmth in his heart, and his voice was slightly hoarse: "Aren't you really scared? I'm not a normal person."
"Linlin, what exactly did they do to you!" Ji Xing's eyes were red with tears.
Pain spread throughout his body, from his trembling fingertips to Jiang Lin's body.
The purple light in Jiang Lin's eyes surged again, and powerful spiritual energy intertwined around the two of them like silkworm threads.
Her spiritual touch gently brushed against the ends of the man's hair, which swayed slightly in the wind, and secretly caressed his beautiful skin. Like a sponge, she continuously absorbed the warm aura emanating from the man's soul.
Jiang Lin admitted that she was a madwoman, desperately wanting to take the man in front of her.
She monopolized his tenderness.
body.
Even the soul.
In the end, Ji Xingyi couldn't get the secret of the new world out of Jiang Lin, and she felt increasingly sorry for her lover.
After glancing at the ever-flowing river, Ji Xingyi took Jiang Lin's hand again and said in a deep voice, "Let's find clues and clear the level first."
If he can't even clear a single death-defying dungeon, how can he protect Jiang Lin under the threat of the new world?
Weakness is the original sin.
The map of Qingxi Town is very large, and the number of NPCs is far greater than before. After finding a place to remove the makeup and wig from his face, Jiang Lin changed back into men's clothing and began his mission.
Wang Zhe and Chen Jiangqiao had already visited the obvious intelligence points, so Jiang Lin decided to skip them. Since Jin Lushan said that Qingxi Town had a century-old tradition of selecting fan-shaped beauties, the two set off to find elderly people in the ancient town to gather clues.
At first, they didn't notice anything, until they met an old beggar.
Although Qingxi Town couldn't compare to the ancient capital, the town was still able to make a living thanks to the unique craftsmanship of the "Beauty Fan." This was the only beggar the two had encountered after wandering around for so long.
Jiang Lin took a few sesame cakes from a nearby food stall and handed them to the old beggar, but the old beggar only glanced at him before turning to Ji Xingyi: "Oh, you're the one who caused a sensation on the Three Lives Bridge?"
Jiang Lin and Ji Xingyi exchanged a glance: There's potential!
Ji Xing nodded: "Old man, we are new here and don't really know much about the fan-shaped beauties. Could you tell us about them?"
“What’s there to say! The mayor has already said everything he needs to say,” the old beggar said, eating his sesame seed cake without any hesitation. “They have to choose every year, and it’s always the same three things. I’m so tired of seeing them!”
Jiang Lin then fetched another pot of wine and placed it in front of the old beggar.
The old beggar immediately grabbed the wine jug and took a big gulp: "Speaking of which, you're the second unlucky one!"
Ji Xingyi: "The second one?"
"Yes, it's the same story as Yunniang twenty years ago, who was chosen even though she hadn't signed up!" The old beggar sighed. "Yunniang was betrothed as a child, and her child was already three years old. The result was the same as yours—she was forced to become that year's 'Fan Beauty'..."
The old beggar's Yunniang was already married at the time. She was watching the fan-shaped beauty pageant that year with her child on the shore. After the first round of the carp kissing the shadow, the child curiously ran onto the Three Lives Stone Bridge. Yunniang followed the child and also went onto the stone bridge, only to encounter the same thing as Ji Xingyi.
Even though she was already married, Jin Lushan forcibly dragged her to participate in the subsequent competition, and unexpectedly she became the fan beauty of that year.
Jiang Lin: "Did Yunniang come back later? Where is she now?"
The old beggar downed the entire jug of wine in one gulp, becoming completely drunk: "No one's coming back, it's all gone!"
The owner of a nearby food stall seemed to have overheard Jiang Lin and his companions' conversation and hurriedly ran out to apologize to Jiang Lin and Ji Xingyi: "Honorable guests, please don't listen to his nonsense. Old Xu talks nonsense when he drinks! I'll kick him out right now!"
"Get up now! Eat and drink your fill and go back inside!" The food stall owner said, kicking the old beggar.
Jiang Lin chuckled upon hearing this: "Since he's just talking nonsense, does the boss know where Yunniang has gone?"
Food stall owner: "Yunniang died of tuberculosis the following year! You can ask others if you don't believe me!"
Ji Xingyi: "Is the previous fan-shaped beauty still here?"
The food stall owner shook his head: "The previous fan-shaped beauty was not from this town, and I don't know where she was from."
Jiang Lin: "What about the one before that?"
The food stall owner, hands on his hips, looked slightly impatient: "These past few years, it's all been outsiders who have won the competition. I really can't answer your question. I'm not a mind reader. They all took the money and left. Some went back to get married, some said they were going to start a business, who knows!"
Ji Xingyi looked at the old beggar, who was already slumped in the corner, drunk and unconscious.
"Heh!" Jiang Lin sneered and left with Ji Xingyi.
Ji Xing glanced back at the food stall owner, who was still looking out from the doorway.
“Everyone in this town is in cahoots, they’re all in cahoots,” Ji Xingyi whispered. “What the old beggar said is probably true.”
The fan-shaped beauties are all gone, meaning they're all dead.
So the old beggar said that Ji Xingyi was the unlucky one after Yunniang.
Jiang Lin: "I have no words to say, so I can only let my drunkenness run wild."
As darkness fell, lanterns were hung along the long corridors of the ancient town. Due to the recent fan-shaped beauty pageant, there were many tourists, and all the shops were still open.
Jiang Lin and Ji Xingyi found a nearby restaurant and prepared to fill their stomachs.
The ancient delicacies were exquisite, the night view outside the window was beautiful, and the lanterns of each household formed a long dragon that disappeared into the darkness along the Qingxi River.
Suddenly, Ji Xingyi noticed several red lanterns dotting the Qingxi River in the distance. He called over the waiter and asked curiously, "What are those?"
"Distinguished guest, you may not know this, but that's a pleasure boat!" The waiter revealed a meaningful smile.
"What is a flower boat?" Ji Xingyi asked, frowning, not understanding.
Jiang Lin understood, but deliberately didn't say anything.
"That's the kind of business they do!" The waiter bent down and lowered his voice, giving Ji Xingyi an expression that every man would understand.
"On the boat?" Ji Xingyi looked at Jiang Lin in shock: Did ancient people have such elaborate entertainment?
"Guest, you haven't tried this before, have you? It's a unique experience to play on this boat!" The waiter, with his shifty eyes, explained the secrets to Ji Xingyi.
Seeing the change in Ji Xingyi's expression, Jiang Lin couldn't help but laugh out loud.
