CHAPTER 358: CHAPTER 358: CLOUD WORLD (QUE ZELIAN) 6

She had already thought it through. If Que Zelian refused, she’d find something to provoke him.

But this time, Que Zelian simply dropped the coat he was holding to cover himself, his amber eyes looked straight into hers, and said softly, "I beg you."

"Hmm?" At this moment, it was Xiao Jinsheng’s turn to be stunned.

Que Zelian knew how to hide, but he also knew when to let go.

The first step was taken.

No psychological burden for countless steps thereafter.

He sifted through the pile of accessories from this outfit and picked out a single belt.

Holding the belt, he stretched it towards Xiao Jinsheng, "If I beg you, would you help me?"

"Coming, coming." Xiao Jinsheng didn’t care about his sudden change of mind.

Giggling, she ran into the cave.

As she neared Que Zelian, Xiao Jinsheng hurriedly stopped herself.

Seeing this, Que Zelian’s expression dimmed.

Then Xiao Jinsheng smirked proudly and beckoned to him, "You haven’t even begged yet."

"I beg you." At this moment, Que Zelian was very compliant.

"Hmm... Didn’t feel it." Xiao Jinsheng shook her head in frustration, "Didn’t feel your sincerity in begging me."

"I beg you, Little Jin." Que Zelian quickly changed his words.

This time, Xiao Jinsheng smiled with satisfaction.

Stepping closer to him, she reached out for the belt, "Come on then, I’ll help you put it on."

"No need." Que Zelian replied with a smile.

Xiao Jinsheng looked up in surprise, not yet deciphering his reaction.

He pulled her into his arms with one swift movement.

The belt she had grabbed one end of was looped around her wrist by Que Zelian.

The intricately embroidered belt tightly bound their hands together.

Que Zelian leaned down and gently bit her lip.

Just as he moved away, Xiao Jinsheng reached out and pulled him back, biting his shoulder hard.

"You bastard Que Zelian, tricked me again!" Xiao Jinsheng fumed.

"I didn’t trick you." Que Zelian explained.

"Then how... how could you forget me and yet suddenly kiss me?" Xiao Jinsheng asked.

She hadn’t yet employed mind reading.

But as she was about to, Que Zelian reached out and ruffled her hair, advising, "Now’s not the time to read my mind."

"I will read it." Xiao Jinsheng was inherently rebellious.

She dove directly into his thoughts.

What she heard was her own pleading voice.

The familiar Mist West was the familiar mist.

It was also a memory etched deeply in her mind.

In just a second, Xiao Jinsheng’s face turned bright red, and she quickly shut off her mind reading ability.

"I warned you." Que Zelian laughed.

When Xiao Jinsheng gave him a cold glare, he quickly explained, "I have forgotten, but I also remember some things, just not completely."

"But I know, the memories I’ve recalled, you remember very clearly, right?"

"I don’t remember! Not a bit!" Xiao Jinsheng retorted stubbornly.

"In the scattered memories I’ve recalled, I discovered that emotions help us a lot." Que Zelian, seeing her anger, instinctively pulled her tighter in his embrace.

He explained his discovery, "The angrier you make me, the more memories come back to me."

"What do you mean I make you angry?" Xiao Jinsheng spotted the issue.

"I expressed it wrong," Que Zelian quickly apologized, "The more you stir my emotions, the more memories seem to return."

"So no matter where we are, we are always controlled by emotions, aren’t we?" Xiao Jinsheng continued the conversation.

In the Mist Continent, the terminal feeds on emotions, and spiritual power grows with emotions.

Now that we’ve come to Cloud World,

The return of memories is still emotions.

Even her own memories modified or deleted by the Insect Brain and terminal.

They are all unexpectedly recalled due to surges in emotion.

"Let me ask you." Xiao Jinsheng grabbed Que Zelian’s wrist and looked at him, "About your memories of me, how much have you recalled now?"

"Ahem..." Que Zelian’s face flushed, and he averted his eyes.

"You mean you haven’t remembered much at all, right?" Xiao Jinsheng was skeptical.

"I have remembered, a lot," Que Zelian quickly explained.

"Then why are you avoiding me?" Xiao Jinsheng pursued.

She spoke up, intending to read his mind.

But recalling the heart’s voice belonging to Que Zelian she heard earlier, she quickly stopped the thought of mind reading.

Her expression turned to shock, gazing at Que Zelian in disbelief, "You... the memories you’ve recalled, are they proper?"

"Ahem." Que Zelian turned his head, his glance dodging even more intensely.

Before Xiao Jinsheng could make a move, he quickly explained, "Apart from what you guessed, I also remembered other memories."

"Like... the first time I came to find you and was locked outside the courtyard all night."

"And how you originally slept with me not out of love."

"And also, how you stepped on me and then left me."

"And..." Que Zelian was about to continue when Xiao Jinsheng reached out and covered his mouth.

She laughed warningly, "Little mouth, shut it."

"Since you said that, I have to ask you." First silencing Que Zelian physically, Xiao Jinsheng said, "My memory was altered. Locking you outside the courtyard was not my intention."

"Yes, the first time sleeping with you was because I wanted a bodyguard, but so what?" Xiao Jinsheng pinched Que Zelian’s face, "Do you regret it?"

"Also, why did I step on you? You better think of the reason yourself before settling accounts with me."

Having said that, Xiao Jinsheng sneered at him, "Let’s see how you plan to settle the score of me stepping on you."

Que Zelian remained silent.

Although he hadn’t remembered everything,

Those words from Xiao Jinsheng, especially the last few.

He felt he had a big problem on his hands.

He forgot there was a partner in crime, Huaiqing, who would also be held accountable.

Que Zelian shifted the topic, unwrapping the belt binding Xiao Jinsheng’s wrists and preparing to leave, "I’ll go outside and get ready. Tomorrow, we need to try entering the glow."

"Can you bind and unbind as you please?" Xiao Jinsheng clung tightly to the other end of the belt, not letting go.

"Please." After pleading a few times, Que Zelian now responded quite smoothly.

"Begging won’t work." Xiao Jinsheng’s lips curled into a mischievous smile.

Que Zelian chuckled helplessly, attempting to untangle the belt binding their wrists.

Clouds began to rise.

A light mist wafted through the cave, gradually covering the entrance.

"When the mist appears, you have to listen to me." Xiao Jinsheng tipped her chin slightly, smiling as a reminder.

"Wait." Que Zelian urgently interrupted her.

As Xiao Jinsheng frowned at him,

Que Zelian considered getting up to leave, realizing he and Xiao Jinsheng were still bound together, and she wasn’t letting go, so they couldn’t part.

He first lifted Xiao Jinsheng from the stone bed and then bent down to pick up the snoring doll, Caicai.

He walked to the cave entrance and tossed Caicai outside.

As he turned back to the stone bed, he swung his hand, and denser white mist completely covered the entrance.

The cloud-formed bed softly spread atop the stone bed.

Que Zelian pressed Xiao Jinsheng down.

With the mist swirling from his palm, he asked with a smile, "When the mist appears, I should listen to you."

"But you didn’t specify whose mist it was, yours or mine."

"So?" Xiao Jinsheng looked at him in surprise, seeing his gradually recovering superpower.

"The mist that appears now is mine, so I think I should be listened to." Que Zelian answered with a laugh, as he pressed his lips to hers.
