Yun Ya Shixiong

  "Don't talk nonsense! My parents wouldn't do such a stupid thing!" I said, and with a swift movement, I was about to snatch the jade from his hand. He dodged quickly, lightly tapping the tip of his foot on the red wooden carved flower table. The Qinghua porcelain teapot on the table didn't even wobble! With a smiling face, he opened his arms wide and shouted loudly, "Hanmei! Come! Jump down! Shixiong will catch you!"

  My lips twitched, and he leapt down in a flash. He quickly jumped over to hug me, but saw the dagger in my hand pointing directly at him! That's when he changed direction halfway. Pouting his lips, he glared at me with a huff.

  "Mei Mei! Where did you come from?! Drawing a knife on your lovely fiancé! How could I cheat you?! Look at this!" He said, and then handed me the two pieces of jade in his hand.

  I gazed at him suspiciously. I took the two pieces of jade from him, both were top-quality ice-type jadeite, with a transparent and cool feeling that seemed to be cut from the same piece of jade! Both stones had their own unique style, the body of the jade was slightly longer, mine had a lily flower carved on it, while his had a lily leaf carved on it. The two pieces of jade could be combined into one, and the lily flower would become a complete bloom.

  "Look! The lily flower has the meaning of 'hundred years of good harmony', if it's not an unmarried couple, how could they deliberately carve this pattern! Take a look under the lamp light! What words are on top!" He kindly guided.

  I slightly furrowed my brow. Only then did I pick up the two pieces of jade, holding them against the firelight, narrowing my eyes to take a closer look. "A perfect match for a hundred years"

  My lip corners are slightly white! It's really a hundred years of good harmony! This jade was originally mine, and even if he wanted to make it, he wouldn't be able to make it so quickly! Thinking about his attitude towards me, there can only be one explanation. He is indeed my senior brother! Only that old man would be bored enough to turn the apprentice's token into this ambiguous style! This person has obviously been with the dead old man for a long time and naturally became a virtuous person like him!

  "What letter did the old man give you!" I shouted angrily. My fingers snapped loudly.

  He held his face, oh-oh-ing loudly. "My Mei! You finally believe I'm your fiancé! Come on! Let Brother Yun give you a kiss!" He puckered up to kiss me, but I pushed him away with one hand!

  "What did I say? The old man is dead and gave you a letter!" I said coldly with my arms crossed.

  He jumped in front of me, staring at my face intently, "I say! Junior sister! Don't be so heartless! Someone has guarded their chastity with great difficulty and finally found you to talk about love and affection. At least let Cloud brother give you a kiss!" After that, he wanted to kiss me again!

  I took a deep breath. Can't get angry! The Great Thief has always stolen money, not beauty! The Great Thief has always been a chivalrous person! I told myself in my heart, but my hands involuntarily pushed his face away again! Obviously it's a beautiful and elegant face, on the surface it's also very serious, why is it this kind of behavior in private?! You old man, what good deed have you done?!

  "What did the old man's letter say!" I said coldly.

  He smiled and said, "Which old man are you talking about? Is it Master or my father the Emperor, or Ye Shen Yi?"

  "Dragon Cloud Brook! Don't go too far! You can say whatever you want about them, but don't mention my father!"

  He looked at me with a hint of grievance, his phoenix-like eyes welling up with tears, and said in a low voice, "So, Ye Shen's medical skills are truly exceptional, and he has already refined the elixir of immortality! Therefore, he will never grow old! Ye Shen, give me some of this medicine too! I also want to be immortal!" He shouted loudly, and just as he did, he flew back up to the beam, narrowly avoiding the dagger that shot out from my hand.

  "Are you going to say it or not! I don't have time to waste with you! If you don't speak, I'll pretend I've never seen you before! I've never known you! I don't care if you're my senior brother or not!" I shouted angrily.

  He scratched his head. He sighed loudly, "The old man said that the things you owe to others will eventually be repaid! The difficulties you face today, he had already seen from the stars a long time ago! He also knew that we two must meet, so he wanted me to pass on a message!"

  I couldn't help but twitch at the corner of my lips. My eyebrows jumped straight up, "The letter you mentioned, are you referring to a verbal message?"

  He nodded happily and winked at me. I only felt a fire in my heart, wanting to give him a slap. "Who do I owe something to? Did he say?"

  His hair fell to one side, and the whole person looked like a damned jinx! At this time, that jinx spoke to me with deep feeling, "He said, you have to repay my emotional debt!"

  I've never even seen him before, but I owe him a debt of gratitude! "Long Yunya! Get down here for me!" I roared at him. Feeling like I'm about to collapse!

  He smiled and said, "Mei Mei! Your angry look is really cute! I remember when you were one month old, I kissed you and you bit me so hard that it almost broke my finger! And now thinking about it still hurts!" He clutched his own finger, as if he was still in pain.

  "Where did I get teeth from when I was a month old? How could I possibly bite off your finger!" I bellowed.

  He was stunned, scratching his head, "Huh? A one-month-old baby, no teeth yet?" He lied with a straight face, and when he was wrong, he still asked me. Omniscient in astronomy and geography, but lacking common sense, indeed worthy of the old man's true legacy!

  I took a deep breath and sat down at the edge of the table, "I say, Cloud Master Brother, were you raised by your master since childhood? Did you get your master's true teachings? Can you observe the stars and are good at fortune-telling?"

  He jumped down with a whoosh, sat beside me, and laughed as he poured himself a glass of water. "How did you know! Younger sister! The old man has passed on all his skills to me! Look at my achievements now!" He said, patting his own chest.

  "Passed on to you, so you became a master thief!" Indeed, passed on well!

  "Being a thief is my ideal! In the hearts of those girls, I am that dream lover! The representative of romance! More popular than Prince Charming! Junior sister, you're really lucky to have me as your fiancé!" He chuckled.

  "Is it said that whoever gets the world will be my husband? Do you also have this heart to get the world?" I coldly hummed.

  "He smiled and said, 'It's all up to you! You're one of the fourteen phoenixes, and the meaning of phoenix is rebirth from the ashes. You've already been reborn! And besides, a phoenix can also be the mate of the Dragon King's clan! Look, what's not suitable about me? That old man's words, you only need to listen to one sentence out of a hundred, that's all! Your brother is doing everything for your own good! Listen to me, it won't go wrong!'"

  "Is that so? You think throwing me into Longnü's clutches is doing me a favor?" I sneered.

  "Ahh! This thing! That's right! Where's the antidote? Didn't you say it would only take three years to lift?! You lied, and I didn't even expose you! For your sake, I betrayed that detestable Crown Prince, look at how much I've suffered!" He wailed.

  "Why did you join the Prince's Party then? Are you bored with nothing better to do after eating your fill?"

  "That's not boring, is it? Niu Ya is a good opponent, I just want to fight him! I like fighting him!" He said with an air of righteousness. "Mei Mei! Is there any medicine spilled?" He suddenly asked seriously.

  I raised an eyebrow. "Of course I'll bring some! What are you going to do?"

  "I've come for the antidote, can't go back empty-handed. It's better to have something to show for it!" He winked at me excitedly.
