Chapter 16 Chapter 16 So this is what body heat feels like...

Xuan Mo never regretted her decision to descend to the mortal world. If it weren't for the help of the immortal god Li He, she would have become a meal in the stomach of the monster.

She had heard that if the immortals were not careful during the tribulation, they would be reduced to ashes. She must protect the immortal god Li He and help him to successfully overcome the tribulation to repay his life-saving grace.

After she descended to the mortal world, she possessed the body of this mortal princess. Although she had a luxurious life every day, she felt constrained by the red tape in the palace.

The immortal god Li He had great magical powers, and even if he was reincarnated as a mortal, he must have an extraordinary identity. Xuan Mo regretted why she didn't secretly read the tribulation book to find out his identity in the mortal world. Now, she can only search blindly in the mortal world like a headless fly.

There happened to be an autumn banquet to summon relatives and nobles, and Xuan Mo searched hard but still couldn't see Li He.

It has been several months since she came to the mortal world, where is the immortal god Li He? Just as she was meditating, a puff of green smoke suddenly appeared in her bedroom.

Mo's heart tightened, and she had a bad feeling. The next second, Ji Yu's figure appeared in front of her.

Xuan Mo regretted their engagement for Li He at the time. Although she complied with Ji Yu's wish, their relationship was still a little awkward.

Ji Yu smiled calmly and said, "Fairy Xuan Mo, how are you? Do you still remember me?"

Xuan Mo's evasive eyes proved her guilty conscience.

She pretended to be panicked, her voice trembling slightly: "You... who are you? Why did you suddenly appear here?"

Ji Yu obviously didn't have the patience to play along with her, and directly exposed her: "Don't pretend, Xuan Mo, come back to the fairyland with me."

Seeing Ji Yu raising his hand to cast a spell, Xuan Mo panicked. She stood up suddenly, her voice hoarse and excited: "I won't go back!" Her face was distorted by anger, and her eyes were full of stubbornness.

"If you stay here, you will only interfere with the fate of mortals and the immortal god Li He. Everything has its own destiny, so don't interfere." Ji Yu advised earnestly.

It's just that Ji Yu, as an immortal king, can't cast spells on mortals to control her thoughts, otherwise he will suffer backlash. The only land immortal who can cast spells has low magic power and is of little use.

He can only continue to persuade earnestly: "Yun Heng has come down to earth to guard the immortal god Li He. With her around, the immortal god will never have any accidents."

This sentence completely touched Xuan Mo's thunder point, and her voice suddenly rose: "Yun Heng, that despicable villain, she deliberately lingered around Li He."

The real lingering ghost is you... Ji Yu rolled his eyes silently.

Seeing that she turned a deaf ear at this time, Ji Yu had to turn away and go back to the immortal world to find reinforcements.

...

Xuan Mo actually turned into Princess Jiayang! This fact made her difficult to accept for a while. Ye Wanwan sat at the table with a trance.

She propped her chin up, her thoughts in a mess. Xuan Mo was so crazy about Li He. If she knew that Li He had become her servant and would have to play a love-hate drama with her in the future, I'm afraid Xuan Mo would kill her in advance without hesitation and interfere with the progress of the tribulation.

"No, I must not let her know Li He's identity!" Ye Wanwan rubbed her temples with a headache, thinking to herself. How could things become so complicated?

"Hey, what are you thinking about?" A brisk greeting suddenly came from her ear.

Ye Wanwan was frightened and turned back suddenly, only to see Ji Yu standing behind her without knowing when.

"Did you catch her back to the fairyland?"

She originally expected him to bring good news, but seeing his depressed expression, she already understood in her heart.

Ji Yu told her the situation that had just happened in a vivid and truthful way.

"Then why don't you go back to the fairyland quickly? What are you looking for me for?" Ye Wanwan asked.

"Hehe." Ji Yu suddenly laughed cunningly. Ye Wanwan's heart tightened, and she had a vague sense of foreboding.

"I'm curious about how the immortal Li He is doing now. Can you take me to see him?"

"Curiosity kills the cat, understand?" Ye Wanwan rolled her eyes. She was already accustomed to his indifference to business.

"It's the cat that's killed, I'm an immortal." Ye Wanwan couldn't stand his pestering and had to call Qi Youan.

Qi Youan applied the ointment that Ye Wanwan sent and he got better in a few days. However, the mark from the iron burn could not be erased and was deeply imprinted on his chest, forever.

Every night he would gently touch the mark, and when his fingertips touched the uneven skin. This mark was not only a scar of the wound, but also an indelible memory of humiliation in his heart.

"So you are here." Yun Ting finally found Qi Youan. Now because of the young lady, she didn't dare to arrange heavy tasks for Qi Youan. Seeing that he was feeding the pigeons leisurely, Yun Ting did not dare to rebuke him, but just said, "Miss is looking for you."

Qi Youan nodded, put down the pigeon food in his hand, and followed Yun Ting to Ye Wanwan's room. Ye Wanwan did not let him sit down, but just glanced at him lightly and motioned him to stand.

At this time, Ji Yu, who had hidden his figure, quietly walked to Qi Youan's side and looked at him carefully.

"Li He Immortal God is so handsome in this dress," Ji Yu said admiringly.

Qi Youan was wearing a coarse linen shirt, with a low ponytail tied casually behind his head, and the broken hair on his forehead was brushed in front of his forehead. This was just an ordinary dress for the servants in the mansion, and it was nothing more than praising his good looks.

Only Ye Wanwan could hear Ji Yu's words. Hearing this, she raised her head, her eyes fell on Qi Youan, and looked at him carefully.

When he first bought the mansion, he was skinny and pale, as if a gust of wind could blow him down. Now, after a period of recuperation, he has become tall and straight, with a youthful look, and a bit more determination and calmness between his brows.

"That's a good thing, your mortal enemy is now at your disposal." Ji Yu teased.

"Shut up." She was obviously in no mood to listen to these sarcastic remarks.

Qi Youan raised his head, puzzled, he clearly didn't speak, and there were only the two of them in the room. He asked in a gentle voice: "Miss, I didn't say anything just now. May I ask what you want, Miss?"

"I didn't talk to you, I just wanted to see you." Ye Wanwan replied leisurely while sipping tea.

Her words instead caused ripples in Qi Youan's heart.

You didn't talk to me, so who were you talking to? Look at me, what do you want to see about me?

"You spend every day together, you won't fall in love with Li He, will you?" Ji Yu asked.

Ye Wanwan gave him a warning look to deny. She retorted in her heart: We have been together in the fairy world for hundreds of years. If I were to like her, I would have liked her a long time ago. Moreover, I am such a lovely and charming fairy. Li He, a stinky stone, is not worthy of me. I just hope that I will have nothing to do with him after experiencing the love tribulation.

"Then I will go back to the fairy world first. One day in heaven is one year on earth. The next time I come back should be half a year later." After saying that, he turned into smoke and left.

Only Ye Wanwan and Qi Youan were left in the room. Ye Wanwan's eyes fell on Qi Youan again and asked: "Didn't the mansion prepare cotton clothes for you? Why are you wearing so thin?"

"My servant is born with a hot body. Thank you for your concern, Miss." Qi Youan smiled harmlessly again.

"Body heat?" Ye Wanwan raised her eyebrows, feeling a little curious. Yunheng was transformed by absorbing the essence of the mangrove. She was born with a cold body. Even if she threw herself into Ye Wanwan, her hands and feet were still cold. She stood up and walked slowly towards Qi Youan, with a bit of inquiry in her eyes.

Seeing her approaching, Qi Youan subconsciously wanted to take a step back, but fearing to displease her, he only trembled slightly and remained standing.

Ye Wanwan stretched out her hand and gently touched his neck with her fingertips. The cold touch came instantly, and Qi Youan's body stiffened slightly, but he dared not move.

"It's really hot." Ye Wanwan blinked, with a bit of innocence in her tone, like a child seeking knowledge. She had never felt such a temperature, and she couldn't help but feel a little strange. It turned out that this was the feeling of body heat.

There was a hurried knock on the door outside, and Yun Ting's voice came through the crack of the door, with a bit of excitement: "Miss, there is good news!"

Ye Wanwan retracted her hand, and the cold touch of her fingertips instantly dissipated.

"Come in."

Yun Ting pushed the door open and saw Qi Youan and the young lady alone in the room. She hurriedly lowered her head and said respectfully: "Miss, the young master passed the imperial examination!"

"Passed the imperial examination!" Ye Wanwan's eyes lit up instantly, and an unconcealable joy appeared on her face. She jumped twice like a happy little rabbit, then lifted her skirt and hurried out of the room, running towards her mother's yard.

Qi Youan looked at the bright and lively figure, raised his hand, and gently touched her neck with his fingertips, where her cold touch seemed to remain.

How strange.

...

"Brother! Brother!" Ye Wanwan's cheerful voice echoed in the courtyard.

She trotted all the way to the courtyard of the Prime Minister's wife. In the courtyard, his father and mother were surrounding Ye Heng, with smiles of approval on their faces. His father's usually stern face softened a bit at this moment, and he smiled: "Heng'er really brought honor to the Prime Minister's Mansion. I will hold a big banquet in a few days to celebrate."

Ye Wanwan walked into the yard with a proud smile on her face, boasting: "I also contributed a lot! When I went to Tianchan Temple before, I specifically asked for a grace from Empress Wenyuan. It seems that the Empress really showed her spirit."

Ye Heng reached out and rubbed her hair lovingly and said: "Yes, Wanwan is really amazing. Brother's success in the imperial examination is inseparable from your contribution."

Ye Wanwan raised her head and smiled with curved eyebrows, like a proud little fox.

A few days later, the distinguished guests who received the invitation arrived as scheduled. The Prime Minister's Mansion was decorated with lights and red silks, and the atmosphere was full of joy. The servants in the mansion were shuttling back and forth, laughing and talking, and it was very lively.

Ye Wanwan also changed into an exquisite festive dress. The red dress embroidered with gold thread made her skin as white as cream and her eyebrows and eyes as beautiful as a painting.

She walked lightly and went to the side hall to entertain the young ladies. When she walked through the courtyard and walked under the plum tree, the remaining snow on the branches suddenly fell down, and a few snowflakes gently fell on her hair, bringing a hint of coolness.

Ye Wanwan frowned slightly, raised her hand to brush away the snowflakes on her hair, and was about to move forward when she suddenly heard a rustling sound above her head.

She subconsciously looked up and saw a black shadow suddenly falling from the tree and smashing straight towards her!

"Ah!" Ye Wanwan exclaimed, staggered, and hurriedly took a half step back.

"Miss, be careful!" Yun Ting was quick-eyed and quick-handed. She rushed forward in one step, blocked in front of Ye Wanwan, and opened her hands to protect her.

The black shadow landed as light as a swallow and stood firmly. The young man was wearing a white robe, holding a Cuju in his hand, with a smug smile on his face, and he said to himself: "Thanks to my agility, otherwise the Cuju would have hit someone."

He patted the remaining snow on his body, looked up at the two frightened people, showed a hint of surprise and smiled: "It turned out to be you."
