Chapter 123: Master, You Look Very Good

Just as Meng Yingxing expected, Xiu Qingcheng didn’t have anything of her own to give.

After the meal, Xiu Qingcheng really picked something out from the items she had “asked” from Nan Feixue.

Meng Yingxing watched as Xiu Qingcheng rummaged through that pile of jewelry-like defensive magical treasures for a long time before finally taking something out.

Xiu Qingcheng had asked for a lot of things from Nan Feixue, including all kinds of jewelry, so Meng Yingxing wasn’t clear on exactly what was in there.

Anyway, what Xiu Qingcheng took out to give him was a jade pendant suitable for both men and women.

The quality of the jade pendant was very good; the emerald green color was deep and uniform, like a pool of green water.

The jade pendant was carved into the shape of a water droplet and was strung on a red cord.

At this moment, this piece of jade was dangling from Xiu Qingcheng’s hand, swaying before Meng Yingxing’s eyes.

“Here, this is the thing I’m giving you.”

Meng Yingxing looked at this piece of jade, somewhat entranced.

Although the item was borrowed flowers offered to Buddha, and he had guessed Xiu Qingcheng’s actions, Meng Yingxing was still very moved.

Because this was the first time Master had given him a gift.

Seeing Meng Yingxing staring at the jade pendant in her hand for so long, Xiu Qingcheng actually felt embarrassed herself.

After all, she didn’t buy the jade pendant; it was “asked” from Nan Feixue, and originally, she intended to give all these defensive magical treasures to Meng Yingxing anyway.

Now, just picking one out from the pile and saying she wanted to give Meng Yingxing a gift was really a bit… shabby?

Xiu Qingcheng snorted lightly, grabbing the jade pendant and putting both hands on her hips.

“This is something I specially picked out; take it or leave it.”

Meng Yingxing still responded as usual, but Xiu Qingcheng didn’t forget to explain to him.

“Do you think I just simply took this from Nan Feixue and gave it to you?”

“Wrong! Big mistake! The other items are too girly and can only be kept nearby for protection; only this carefully selected jade pendant of mine is most suitable for you to wear!”

“And I even specially carved a character on it! It can be said that this jade pendant, at this moment and that moment, is the one and only in history!”

Xiu Qingcheng puffed out her chest and held the jade pendant in front of Meng Yingxing again, speaking as if it were truly a big deal.

Hearing Xiu Qingcheng say she carved a character on it, Meng Yingxing couldn’t help but focus his attention on the jade pendant.

The jade pendant spun around lazily under the force, and only then did Meng Yingxing see the character “Xiu” carved by Xiu Qingcheng on the other side of this teardrop-shaped jade pendant defensive magical tool.

From the perspective of literary attainment, Xiu Qingcheng’s handwriting was simply unwatchable.

But in Meng Yingxing’s eyes, it was as precious as a heaven-sent treasure.

He stared blankly at the jade pendant, letting Xiu Qingcheng hold it up just like that.

“Wearing this jade pendant shows that you are my person! If one day in the future I have a physical body and become famous under heaven, when you flash this jade pendant, you can walk sideways across the Nine Provinces of Jintian.”

Life has dreams, each wonderful!

Xiu Qingcheng took the lead in painting a big, round pie for Meng Yingxing!

It smelled delicious!

Xiu Qingcheng looked at Meng Yingxing with some trepidation in her heart, fearing that Meng Yingxing would dislike this “dog tag” she gave on a whim.

“Do you want it or not? If not, I’m taking it back!”

Seeing no movement from Meng Yingxing for a long time, Xiu Qingcheng thought he really disliked it, so feeling a bit hot in the face, she prepared to take the jade pendant back.

“Forget it, forget it. If you don’t like it, forget it. Next time Master will get you a better one!”

Saying this, Xiu Qingcheng was about to toss the jade pendant in her hand away.

But before she could proceed to the next step, Meng Yingxing’s hand flashed past her eyes with a swish, and in the next second, the jade pendant was in Meng Yingxing’s hand.

If Meng Yingxing’s sword speed could be this fast, his combat strength would at least double!

“I want it. Whatever Master gives, I definitely want.”

“I want whatever Master gives.”

Meng Yingxing clutched the jade pendant tightly in his palm, turning his body sideways, simply looking afraid that Xiu Qingcheng would snatch the jade pendant back.

Seeing this, a triumphant look surfaced on Xiu Qingcheng’s face again.

She knew her disciple would definitely like it!

No one disliked the gifts she gave!

Meng Yingxing gave a soft “mn,” lowering his head to look at the jade pendant in his hand from time to time.

Every time he looked at the jade pendant, Meng Yingxing’s heart would tremble with happiness.

What he liked was not just the jade pendant, but also the sentence Xiu Qingcheng had just said.

He was her person.

Mn, Meng Yingxing liked this sentence very much.

Perhaps the small liking rising in his heart was far more than just for this jade pendant and this sentence.

“As long as you like it.”

Xiu Qingcheng spoke lightly, stuffing the remaining jewelry defensive magical treasures back into Meng Yingxing’s hands, adding:

“These defensive magical treasures are enough for you to use for a long time, enough to save you from death a dozen times. Use them when you need to; don’t hide and tuck them away.”

“Yes, Master.”

Meng Yingxing stuffed these sparkling jewelry magical treasures, which looked like things girls would use, into his Qiankun Bag, leaving only a single teardrop-shaped earring with a water-blue gem on it in his hand.

“Why aren’t you putting this away? You want to wear it?”

Xiu Qingcheng asked casually.

“Since Master borrowed flowers from Nan Feixue to offer to Buddha, shouldn’t you also allow me to borrow flowers to offer to Buddha once?”

“This earring feels very suitable for Master to wear.”

As Meng Yingxing spoke, he lifted the hair hanging at Xiu Qingcheng’s temples and brought the earring to her right ear.

“I give it to you, Master.”

The young boy’s gaze was clear and earnest, like the morning dew, crystal clear and free of impurities.

Xiu Qingcheng looked at such a clean young boy and was momentarily stunned.

She didn’t know which wire in her head had crossed; actions that she, as a male in the past, would have found disgusting, now felt… when done by Meng Yingxing to herself…

Her heart beat heavily.

Xiu Qingcheng, oh Xiu Qingcheng, you’ve probably been single for too long; even a young boy looks charming to you.

Just now seemed to be purely her illusion.

Scared her to death; she almost thought she was becoming interested in a man.

Xiu Qingcheng closed her eyes, took a breath to calm down, and opened her eyes again; the young boy’s sincere gaze was right before her.

“Alright, I don’t dislike it.”

“But I don’t have pierced ears.”

Saying this, Xiu Qingcheng turned her face to the left, showing her right face and right ear to Meng Yingxing.

Meng Yingxing looked carefully; Xiu Qingcheng’s ear was round and small, without a single flaw.

At the same time, the neck she revealed was slender and fair, making one want to leave something on it.

“It doesn’t matter, Master. This kind of magical treasure can attach itself to the earlobe; there’s no need to pierce a hole.”

Meng Yingxing smiled faintly, attaching a bit of spiritual power to the earring; instantly, the earring seemed to come alive, actively hanging onto Xiu Qingcheng’s ear.

Xiu Qingcheng widened her eyes, shaking her head back and forth, feeling the earring sway with her movements without falling off.

She really didn’t know these things could be used like this.

Very magical, right?

“Master… the earring looks very good.”

Meng Yingxing looked at Xiu Qingcheng, seemingly correcting himself.

Hearing Meng Yingxing praise her earnestly, Xiu Qingcheng’s face unconsciously beamed with delight.

“It’s alright, I guess. I’ll reluctantly accept it.”

Wonder if it would fall off when she turned into a sword.

The night grew deeper, and Meng Yingxing diligently closed his eyes to cultivate.

Lying on the bed reading a storybook, Xiu Qingcheng, having nothing to do, glanced casually towards Meng Yingxing.

Unknown when, Meng Yingxing had already hung the jade pendant at his waist.

Xiu Qingcheng’s hand flipping the storybook paused; a faint smile appeared on her face as she unconsciously reached out to touch the single earring by her ear.

The water-blue gem on the earring shimmered faintly, just like the young boy’s pair of clear eyes.
