Yun Qingwu opened her eyes. Her beautiful eyes stared at Fang Zhengzhi who was charging towards her. The smile remained on her face, still as bright as ever.
She did not move at all…
She laid down on the grass patch, allowing Fang Zhengzhi to come towards her.
It felt almost as if she was inviting him over.
Closer, closer!
Fang Zhengzhi sensed the faint nice smell coming out from Yun Qingwu. He could predict the consequences after his attack and the things that were going to happen.
Since there were no Demons protecting her, he should take this chance forcefully?
Striking the iron while it was hot?
While Fang Zhengzhi felt a tinge of guilt, given his current circumstance, he couldn’t think of a better way to settle this.
Against a woman who was unafraid of death, was there any other method? It was impossible for her to continue waiting motionless.
“Bam!” Fang Zhengzhi finally landed on Yun Qingwu’s body, but it was not a soft touch that he had expected.
Of course, he had felt something soft upon impact.
Just that….
The softness was not from Yun Qingwu, it was the green grass patch underneath him.
Did he just miss her?
Obviously this was defying the law of physics. He was aware of Yun Qingwu’s power, but more importantly, he knew that she did not move at all.
Then why would he miss her completely?
Fang Zhengzhi lifted up his head, as a touch of light darted in front of his eyes.
Yun Qingwu was supposed to be pinned down by Fang Zhengzhi, but she was still lying down on the grass patch away from her. The pair of attractive eyes peered into his, as she smiled brightly.
“That was a great Matrix spell!” Fang Zhengzhi exclaimed inside him. And he had to admit that Yun Qingwu’s Matrix spell was really strange and powerful.
He was already hovering on top of her, but just when he attempted to land on her, Yun Qingwu suddenly appeared three steps away from her.
Did she move instantly?
That was impossible!
Fang Zhengzhi pushed away that thought immediately, as he knew that Yun Qingwu did not change her position at all. The only thing that changed was the area he had landed on.
So it meant that…..
When he landed on the ground, the surrounding changed immediately.
“I’m afraid you can’t break this Matrix Spell this time round!” Yun Qingwu said faintly, as she looked at Fang Zhengzhi from her side. She calmly took up a piece of snack and munched on it gently.
“I appreciate your confidence, but I would like to have a try.” Fang Zhengzhi nodded his head as he helped himself up by pushing his hands against the ground.
“Are you planning to make another move on me again?” Yun Qingwu asked back.
“No, I will do it slowly this time round!” Fang Zhengzhi shook his head as he walked slowly towards Yun Qingwu. He stepped on each path cautiously.
He was not being wary of Yun Qingwu. Rather, he was observing the surroundings carefully. When he had landed earlier, he did not manage to catch a glimpse of what had happened.
This time round…..
He would observe carefully.
He was closer, closer.
He could sense the faint smell coming out from Yun Qingwu’s body once again. The faint warm and pleasant smell meant that the distance between them was closing.
Both of them remained silent.
Just at that instant, Fang Zhengzhi slowly lifted up his hand.
Very slowly, bit by bit, he moved towards Yun Qingwu’s chest.
Attempting to grab it!
Yun Qingwu looked at the distance between the hand and her chest and began giving off a strange look on her face. “There’s actually someone this shameless!”
“Thanks for the compliment!” Fang Zhengzhi did not hasten his actions.
Because he was well aware of the fast changing nature of the surroundings. The faster his actions, the higher the rate of change of the surroundings would be, therefore moving slowly would be the best option now.
It was really near.
He could almost feel the softness of Yun Qingwu’s dress.
He grabbed onto it.
Fang Zhengzhi did not hesitate. He grabbed it!
Then…
There was no then.
As Yun Qingwu was three steps away from him once again. The same distance, the same pair of eyes, the same lips with the same smile on her face.
“Huh?” Fang Zhengzhi was not ready to resign to her. It felt as though the piece of meat on his mouth had been snatched away by another person. That made him really discontented.
However, the motion was too quick, and that left him no time to react and observe the changes in the surroundings.
He felt completely bewildered, as the scenery in the surrounding remained unchanged, but not the distance between Yun Qingwu and him.
A change in scenery…
There should have been a change in the surroundings, but it did not feel like it.
What was going on?
Fang Zhengzhi could not comprehend the situation, but he was determined to charge towards her again. It wouldn’t take much time for him to cover up the three-steps distance between them.
He chose to believe that he would be able to catch Yun Qingwu.
“I grab!”
It’s useless!
“I will grab again!”
Futile once again!
He attempted to grab her for 10 times, till his eyes became slightly red. Every single attempt he made came to no avail as he grabbed nothing.
How did she do that?
“Oh, you’re going to stop? Not continuing?” Yun Qingwu asked, as she looked at Fang Zhengzhi who had seemed to have given up. The smile in her face seemed more prompt and brighter now.
Her smile looked even more appealing now.
It made her look provocative and arrogant.
A pure and graceful lady against a man who had extended his demonic claws. She stood up confidendently with her chest opened up, and shouted at him to try again.
Intolerable!
Fang Zhengzhi could not stand this any longer!
But what else could he do? Continue trying and get nothing? That might feel thrilling, but it also made him felt depressed after a while.
It seemed like he had to change his method.
Fang Zhengzhi pondered for awhile. He stopped trying and went ahead to lie beside Yun Qingwu.
“I will rest for a while.” Fang Zhengzhi said as he reached out for the snacks box beside her, and put a piece of snack in his mouth.
Up till now, Yun Qingwu had no intention to stop him.
That confidence…
Came from the bottom of her heart.
Even when Fang Zhengzhi had laid beside her, Yun Qingwu closed her eyes calmly. She was not afraid that that Fang Zhengzhi would make a sneak attack on her.
A sudden surge of emotions rushed inside Fang Zhengzhi.
As he looked at Yun Qingwu closing her eyes, he thought of charging towards her and grabbing her forcefully again.
But he chose to endure a little longer.
As the old adage had mentioned, giving is the prerequisite of receiving.
Fang Zhengzhi knew that since Yun Qingwu dared to close her eyes, she must have known that she was able to keep herself safe. Hence he had to be patient and wait, temporarily.
Bait Yun Qingwu into leting her guard down, and give her the idea that she had already won the battle.
“Forget it, I admit defeat!” Fang Zhengzhi finally opened his mouth. “This Matrix Spell of yours, is really powerful, I can’t break it!”
“Ok.” Yun Qingwu nodded her head as though she already knew what Fang Zhengzhi would have said.
Fang Zhengzhi felt even more impulsive.
But he remained persistent and asked, “These are just your acts right? You’re not the only one with great acting skills, I think my skills are not bad too!”
And then came the test of the acting skills.
Fang Zhengzhi could never back down from it. He had to convince Yun Qingwu to believe that he had really lost. That would definitely ease her up and he could seize the opportunity from there.
“You had specially came all the way to the Northern Mountain Village, just to trap me here? If that’s really the case, you have achieved it, I’m really trapped in here!” Fang Zhengzhi continued.
“I did want to trap you here, but my goal is not to trap you.” Yun Qingwu said as she slowly opened her eyes.
“Not to trap me? Then what is it?” Fang Zhengzhi felt strange.
“Kill you!” Yun Qingwu answered casually.
“Then why haven’t you started?” Fang Zhengzhi asked back.
“You haven’t made your move too?” Yun Qingwu reasoned.
“So you are saying that, since I did not kill you yesterday, you’re going to let me go now?” Fang Zhengzhi suddenly understood what she was trying to say.
“Hmmmm, yes, you can say that.” Yun Qingwu nodded her head then shook her head again. “But that is just temporary.”
“You won’t kill me for the time being?”
“To be honest, my intention was to lure you in and kill you straight. Then I will snatch the Heaven Dao Sage Tablet from you, but I have changed my mind.” Yun Qingwu explained.
“Heaven Dao Sage Tablet…” As soon as he heard this, Fang Zhengzhi squinted abit, and grinned, “What do mean by the Heaven Dao Sage Tablet, I have completely no idea what you’re talking about, and I have no such thing on me.”
“I don’t need your acknowledgement.”
“So….. What do you have in mind now?”
“I will spare your life.”
“Then?”
“Nothing else.”
“You’re not going to do anything else? Like torturing me? Or seeking revenge for the Southern Region?” Fang Zhengzhi spoke as he observed the surroundings at the same time.
“Nothing at the moment.” Yun Qingwu shook her head once again.
“I will thank you then, but when are you planning to release me?” Fang Zhengzhi nodded his head a he shifted his body closer to Yun Qingwu.
“I will trap you for as long as possible.” Yun Qingwu replied without thinking much.
“You….” Fang Zhengzhi stared angrily at her, as he stopped moving towards Yun Qingwu. He looked at her with disbelief, “ARE YOU PLANNING TO TRAP ME TILL I DIE?”
“Yes!” Yun Qingwu shifted till her eyes met with Fang Zhengzhi, bringing him a smile, a bright and clear smile.
Fang Zhengzhi’s body froze.
He knew that Yun Qingwu would harbour an ulterior motive against him, but he miscalculated and did not expect that she had actually planned to trap him till death.
Trap for as long as possible?!
That sounded so easy but yet so irresponsible!
He could feel the bitterness in him as her words resounded in his ears.
If this were to happen to a normal human being…
To be trapped here forever with the Demon Lord Yun Qingwu, would be a blessing to them. But not to Fang Zhengzhi, since he had only left with six months to live.
Six months of life.
There were many things that Fang Zhengzhi wanted to do.
The Heavenly Dao Pavilion selection test, the promise with Chi Guyan, Ping Yang who was waiting for him at the Ling Yun Settlement as well as his parents in the Northern Mountain Village.
He couldn’t just disappear like this.
Just because he listened to one song?
That was indeed one expensive song.
“I can’t just wait here, I have to run a lot of errands!” Fang Zhengzhi began looking serious for the first time.
“But, you can’t leave here.” Yun Qingyun replied in a serious tone.
“If I had to leave?”
“I said earlier, you can’t get out!”
“What’s point of trapping me here?”
“For the Heavenly Dao Sage Tablet, I’m not going to kill you, but I need it from you. So when you’re dead, I would be able to own it naturally!”
“If I give you the Heavenly Dao Sage Tablet?” Fang Zhengzhi fixed his eyes on Yun Qingwu as he clenched his fists.
The Heavenly Dao Sage Tablet.
To be honest, ever since the Heavenly Oasis Saint had placed the The Vast World in his Breastplate, he knew that he had a piece of the Heavenly Dao Sage Tablet in his body.
As to why the Heavenly Dao Sage Tablet was given to him, he did not know the reason, but he knew the origin of it.
It was the piece that Yun Qingwu had used to attract Xing Yuanguo and Chi Guyan on the Cang Ling Mountain.
From a certain perspective…
The Heavenly Dao Sage Tablet should belong to the Demon Race.
“Ever since you stepped into the Matrix Spell that I had laid out for you, the Heavenly Dao Sage Tablet already belonged to me. Do you think I will accept the Heavenly Dao Sage Tablet as your bargaining chip, when it is already mine?” Yun Qingwu finally spoke again.
Fang Zhengzhi did not reply.
He controlled his breathing steadily. Moments later, he closed his eyes, “Forget it, it will be great to have you here with me for these six months!”
“Take the material world lightly, infatuated love is a tomfoolery, may as well to be chesty, this lifetime is still lengthy, but the heart is in peace already, for the rest of life I just want to be easy…..” Yun Qingwu looked at Fang Zhengzhi, who did not say a word. She moved her lips lightly, humming the song lyrics.
Fang Zhengzhi’s eyes remained shut.
He listened attentively to the Yun Qingwu’s beautiful voice. Indeed her musical skills were superb, as she only needed to listen to a song once before she could memorise the lyrics and rhythm.
As the emotions came in, it allowed Fang Zhengzhi to have a better way to listen into its meaning.
Gradually…
Fang Zhengzhi’s breathing became more stable as he seemed mesmerised by the great voice. His hand moved slowly towards the direction of Yun Qingwu.
Then he felt an exquisite and soft touch on his bands.
That was the texture of her soft skin, smooth and nice.
At that moment, Fang Zhengzhi could feel his skin trembling a little, but eventually he kept his composure calm.
However, it moved away slightly.
Fang Zhengzhi’s breathing remained calm, letting out a soft snore from his nose. It seemed like he had fallen asleep, but his hand still moved subconsciously towards the soft touch.
Quickly…
The same soft texture came towards him again.
There was a slight tremble.
A pause.
That felt like the longest wait for Fang Zhengzhi.
The tremble stopped in the end, but the smooth touch did not leave. It allowed Fang Zhengzhi to hold onto it, both in contact with one another.
After a long time, a line brushed past him. That was the air caused by the strong wind, but the wind landed on top of Fang Zhengzhi’s forehead.
At that instant…
Fang Zhengzhi sprung into action.
If one were to describe the speed that Fang Zhengzhi had exhibited, the word would be impressive and swift, as it had all happened in a flash.
“Let’s see if you can run away!” Fang Zhengzhi exclaimed as both his hands reached towards her head.
He did not know what he grabbed, as he couldn’t open his eyes in time. He knew that Yun Qingwu was faster at dodging him, therefore he had to act fast.
Grab!
He managed to grab it, and it felt soft and bouncy at the same time.
That felt like…..
Fang Zhengzhi opened his eyes widely as he stared at the beautiful features on her face with her big eyes staring back into him.
“WU!” Yun Qingwu let out a loud cry.
