Starry Sky Railway: The Slacking Sword Saint is Keeped by Fu Xuan

Chapter 283 How Much Do We Know About the Past (Part Two)

"During the three days you were unconscious, Miss Liao would come over and glance at you whenever she had a spare moment."

Even though I explained that your injuries were the real reason you fainted, she still looked guilty...

Until one day…

...

"I will take responsibility for him, even if he never wakes up again!"

Liao Qingran looked at Jing Yuan with a serious expression and spoke.

Jing Yuan's lips twitched slightly as he said, "The doctor said he'll wake up soon. Don't make it sound like you poisoned him..."

"I don't care, I'll take responsibility for him! Apart from my father, I've never seen anyone drink my wine so happily!"

"...Miss Liao, do you think it's possible that your wine was just too..."

"How?"

"It's hard to put into words..."

"General, even if you are a general, don't spout nonsense! Father was clearly moved to tears by how delicious the drink was. This Yu Chen... I've inquired about him, he's a sword saint, right?"

He drank so heartily, yet he had such a complicated expression on his face, looking like he was about to cry from the delicious taste but was forcibly holding it back.

How could it taste bad? It's just not to some people's taste.

Jing Yuan: "..."

“I’m happy for my brother that he has someone to keep him company, but Yu Chen is no good… cough, he’s not someone you can mess with.”

You've already taken him down, and you still want to pursue him...

"I can't say... In all these hundreds of years, I've never seen this guy have those kinds of thoughts about any woman. At most, he might be a bit lecherous occasionally..."

...

"You're talking nonsense! Jingyuan, don't smear my reputation. When have I ever been interested in anything?" Yu Chen hurriedly retorted, but his eyes fell on Fu Xuan's face and he looked a little guilty.

Color is such a thing...

As a man, isn't it normal to look at beautiful women? And isn't it normal to make some lewd remarks while looking at them with your buddies?

But he used his love for Fu Xuan as a guarantee that he would never have any intention of forming any bond with any woman other than Fu Xuan!

She is special, she is unique!

"Hmph... whether it exists or not, I can't say for sure." Jing Yuan glanced at him and continued telling the story.

Jing Liu looked at Yu Chen with amusement. Back in their day, that Sword Saint had said quite a few boastful things…

Seemingly aloof and ruthless, but actually... ha~

Fu Xuan glanced at Yu Chen, who was staring at her nervously, and smiled without saying a word.

"Later... Miss Liao inexplicably became attached to you."

It's quite strange, really.

Even though you've only met once, she's insisting on taking responsibility for you...

Is this... love at first sight?

"Hmph! I think it's lust at first sight!"

Yu Chen snorted lightly, then said proudly, "After all, this Sword Saint is so handsome and charming that even the dignified Grand Diviner is captivated by me."

Isn't it normal for a young girl who sells alcohol to be infatuated with me?

"Pah... Shameless." Fu Xuan spat lightly, wrinkling his nose and scratching his face.

Yu Chen grabbed her small hand and asked seriously, "What's shameless about it? Fu Xuan, don't you like me? Aren't you infatuated with me?"

I'm completely infatuated with you!

"Hmph..." Fu Xuan turned his head away, a faint blush rising to his face, and pursed his lips, remaining silent.

"Ahem... As for what happened later... You left right after you woke up, which meant you missed meeting Miss Liao."

I mentioned this to you before, but you were so focused on having a good drink to make up for it that I didn't pay any attention.

"And then what? So that's it?"

Jing Yuan glanced at him, then continued, "Later... she came looking for me many, many times... always to ask about you..."

"You sold me out?"

Jing Yuan didn't answer, but shook his head and continued, "I asked her why she didn't just go to you, and she said she wanted to make a real wine herself, and then bewitch you so you would fall in love with her."

"?"

"It's weird, isn't it? What's that saying again? Love arises without warning, and deepens with each passing moment."

The bond between the people of Xianzhou is long-lasting and extremely sincere, just like Miss Liao…

It seems that many of them meet, fall in love, and become entangled with each other because of some inexplicable fate?

It felt like everyone was here to continue a karmic connection from a past life…

"Stop talking nonsense, and then what? Why do I still not have any impression of this person?"

"And then... I heard she came to see you a few times, but..."

"I ignored it?" Yu Chen asked, puzzled.

Jing Yuan nodded, then shook his head.

He tilted his head back and pondered for a while, then said somewhat uncertainly, "It seems like... I've seen him once before?"

I don't know what she said, but she never contacted you or bothered me again after that.

"I definitely rejected you hard!"

Yu Chen looked completely certain.

Fu Xuan glanced at him and said, "Didn't you say you didn't remember?"

Yu Chen's tone faltered, and he snorted, "I really don't remember... but that's precisely because I have no impression of her, it means I had absolutely no contact with that person!"

“That’s true… But even if you have some strange exes, I won’t be angry or surprised… After all, it’s been over a thousand years, so it’s inevitable that you’ll have some minor conflicts with someone.” Fu Xuan’s eyes remained fixed on him, his tone light and casual.

Yu Chen stared at her intently and said seriously, "From the very beginning, I told Fu Xuan that even though we have been separated by a thousand years, the only woman I have ever loved is you."

In the past, I have never had any improper contact with any other women!

"If you don't believe me, ask Jingyuan!"

"Did I say I didn't believe you? Yu Chen, how dare you doubt my trust in you!"

"...You can't do this."

The Sword Saint stared at her pitifully, looking as if he had suffered a great loss.

Fu Xuan chuckled softly, the seriousness on her face fading away, replaced by a sweet smile as she slowly leaned closer to him.

"Can't even a joke be taken seriously, Sword Saint Baby?"

She leaned close to Yu Chen's ear and gently blew a breath.

He was startled and grabbed the wicked fortune teller who was flirting with a married man, pulling him into his arms.

Fu Xuan felt the burning body temperature and the surging emotions, and silently hugged him tightly, gently stroking this childish ghost sword saint.

"Honey... there's no rift between us anymore... don't you know that perfectly well?"

Yu Chen hummed a few times, rubbed his neck against hers, and then moved to her face and kissed her.

"I love you the most... so you're not allowed to bully me!"

"I am so weak, it is Sword Saint who should not bully me, right?" She chuckled softly, naturally leaning against his shoulder, and then glanced at the three people with extremely complicated expressions beside her.

"Let's go back?"

"See... I told you these two can't stand not showing off their love!" Bai Lu had a "I knew it" look on her face, crossed her arms, and looked quite helpless.

Jing Yuan nodded in agreement and gently rubbed her head.

Jingliu squinted at the two people, a strange light flickering in his crimson eyes, looking thoughtful.

"So all that long-winded, irritating talk you gave me for so long was about someone I can't even remember?"

Yu Chen's expression was very complicated, and a hint of danger appeared in his eyes as he looked at Jing Yuan.

Jing Yuan shrugged, picked up his teacup, and took a sip.

"I just wanted to prove how charming you are, Sword Saint! You've had admirers too, haven't you?"

"Heh... I have Fu Xuan, which already surpasses countless others in the mortal world."

Yu Chen tightened his grip on Fu Xuan's arm and gave her a hard kiss on the cheek.

Fu Xuan scolded him for being so nagging, but the corners of his mouth turned up even higher.

"Well... the fact that I've taken a liking to him does prove that this idiot is quite charming."

"Tsk tsk tsk..." Jing Yuan clicked his tongue and snorted, "The person you two should thank the most is me."
