Xian Ni: The God of Killing Returns, Marries Li Muwan at the Beginning

Li Muwan smiled gently, her clear smile seemingly possessing some special magic, which made Lin Che momentarily stunned.

The leaves on all the bamboo around us rustled gently.

From the moment Li Muwan's voice rang out, all the bamboo within Lin Che's range made the same movement.

At the same time, it was swaying its own leaves, seemingly intoxicated by Li Muwan's smile.

It wasn't just the bamboo forest; besides being able to sense your own presence, all the plants around you, including the flowers, grasses, and trees, were expressing their joy in various ways.

"I've heard of a smile that can topple a city, and another smile that can topple a nation, but I never thought I'd actually witness it today. However, it's this bamboo forest that has captivated Wan'er."

Lin Che said with a sigh.

……

A gentle breeze rustled the bamboo leaves, as if echoing Li Muwan's laughter.

Lin Che looked at the woman in front of him, his eyes full of tenderness and doting. He reached out and gently brushed a bamboo leaf that had fallen into her hair, and said with a smile, "It seems that not only people, but even this bamboo forest has been captivated by you."

Li Muwan blinked, feigning innocence, and asked, "And my husband? Has he been captivated by me?"

Lin Che chuckled softly, pinched Li Muwan's nose, and said gently, "What do you think?"

Li Muwan gave a soft hum, but couldn't hide the smile on her lips, and turned to walk into the depths of the bamboo forest.

Lin Che followed behind Li Muwan, watching her back as her figure softened in his heart.

The two found a quiet place where bamboo shadows swayed and sunlight filtered through the branches and leaves, casting dappled patterns of light and shadow.

Li Muwan sat down on the ground, patted the empty seat next to her, and gestured for Lin Che to sit down.

Lin Che sat down next to Li Muwan as instructed, and then pulled her into his arms.

"Tired?"

Lin Che asked in a low voice.

Li Muwan shook her head, leaned on Lin Che's shoulder, and whispered, "I just feel that it's so nice to be able to stay here quietly like this."

Lin Che did not answer, but gently stroked Li Muwan's long hair.

The two nestled together, listening to the wind, the rustling of bamboo leaves, and each other's heartbeats.

After a while, Li Muwan suddenly sat up straight and took out a small jade pot and two wine cups from her sleeve.

Li Muwan shook the jade pot and smiled, "Would you like a drink?"

Lin Che raised an eyebrow and asked curiously, "When did you bring the wine?"

"I just grabbed it."

Li Muwan smiled slyly, stretched out her slender hand to tidy the strands of hair beside her ear, and said softly, "This is Zhuyeqing that I brewed myself, would you like to try it?"

Lin Che chuckled and took the wine glass from Li Muwan. The wine was clear and refreshing, with a faint bamboo fragrance. It was slightly sweet on the palate, but had a strong aftertaste.

Lin Che praised, "Excellent wine."

Li Muwan proudly raised her chin: "Of course."

After a few drinks, Li Muwan's cheeks gradually flushed, and her eyes became increasingly dreamy.

Li Muwan suddenly leaned closer to Lin Che, touched his lips with her fingertip, and whispered, "Husband, do you think... this bamboo forest will remember us?"

Lin Che was taken aback and asked, puzzled, "Remember what?"

“I remember we drank and chatted here, and…” Li Muwan paused, a sly glint in her eyes, and said softly, “and you just secretly kissed me.”

Lin Che chuckled and said, "Bamboo groves don't have eyes, how would they remember?"

Li Muwan shook her head and said seriously, "All things have a spirit, especially these bamboos. They have lived much longer than us, and may have become spirits long ago."

Lin Che was amused by Li Muwan and gently stroked her cheek: "Then wouldn't they see us being all lovey-dovey every day?" Li Muwan blushed, lightly punched Lin Che, and said irritably, "Who's being all lovey-dovey with you every day!"

Lin Che grabbed Li Muwan's hand and laughed, "Isn't that right?"

Li Muwan glared at Lin Che, but couldn't help laughing. As the two joked around, the bamboo forest rustled, as if it were laughing along with them.

As the sun sets, the bamboo shadows grow longer.

Li Muwan leaned against Lin Che's chest and said lazily, "Husband, let's spend the night here."

Lin Che looked down at Li Muwan and asked, "Aren't you going back?"

"Mmm." Li Muwan nodded and replied, "I want to fall asleep to the sound of bamboo leaves."

Lin Che gently ruffled Li Muwan's hair and said softly, "Okay."

Night falls, and starlight shines down.

Lin Che waved his hand and set up a barrier, blocking out the coolness of the night wind.

Li Muwan curled up in Lin Che's arms and quickly fell into a deep sleep. Perhaps this was the first time in many years that she had slept so comfortably.

Lin Che gazed at Li Muwan's sleeping face and gently kissed her forehead.

The bamboo grove continued to rustle, as if guarding the loving couple.

...............

The next morning at dawn, the Huai River was winding around.

The mountains rise steeply into the clouds, their peaks shrouded in mist. The lake water is crystal clear, its surface shimmering in the sunlight.

The stunning scenery where mountains and water blend seamlessly is so captivating that visitors linger there.

In this picturesque scenery, the soul finds complete relaxation and nourishment.

The environment here is beautiful, with towering cliffs on both sides, slightly concave inward, shaped like a scallop. The higher you go, the narrower it becomes.

The cliff wall has a unique color, shining like pearls and jade. Just then, a ray of dusk slanted into the gorge, shining on the wall, reflecting repeatedly. For a moment, the gorge was full of golden colors, which was dazzling.

The small boat appeared in the middle of the lake and drifted slowly forward.

"The Huai River reflects the floating rock mountain, and its shadows are reflected in the bamboo forest. This is really a good place."

Looking at the scenery around her, Li Muwan also revealed a childlike smile.

This place is rich in spiritual energy and has beautiful scenery, but as a powerful member of the sect, Li Muwan has no time to truly see this world, and she can't even pay attention to the scenery of the sect.

Now, with my senior brother by my side, I was successfully attracted by the scenery before me.

Lin Che took a sip of the cloudy wine and said softly, "Yes, this place is considered a beautiful spot within the sect, but very few people come here."

"Why?"

Li Muwan asked curiously.

Such beautiful scenery, if one could stay here forever, would surely open one's heart and greatly benefit one's future spiritual practice.

“The spiritual energy here is weak, and it does not belong to the Hengyue Mountain Range, so few people are willing to come here to cultivate.”

Lin Che explained.

Upon hearing this, Li Muwan also sensed it and found it to be true what her husband had said. The spiritual energy here was pitifully weak, a world apart from that of a sect, and not suitable for cultivation.

What a pity to waste such a beautiful view.

Li Muwan scooped up a bunch of flowers from the water and said softly, "It's a pity. Whether it's humans or all living things, they will wither away with the passage of time."

"All things are subject to the five signs of decay, whether human or divine. However, Wan'er, if you wish to preserve the beauty of the flowers, your husband has a plan." (End of Chapter)
