NOVPUBHe shrugged his shoulders and said, "Well, a kiss is a kiss. It was my first kiss; you’re lucky!"
It was your first kiss, but isn’t it mine as well?
Long Yuanyang still felt somewhat unsatisfied. Besides, she did not believe this guy at all. It was his first kiss? Yeah, right!
However, looking at Liu Wentian’s face, a smile suddenly fluttered across her face.
Indeed, her smile could dazzle anyone, leaving even the beauty of a full royal court pale in comparison. That smile made Liu Wentian stare in awe; this woman’s beauty was indeed enchanting.
When she smiled, it was breathtaking, just like when that woman Li He would smile seductively. It was equally captivating!
"Right, it’s good to smile more. Don’t always keep a deadpan face!" Liu Wentian said, laughing.
Long Yuanyang immediately straightened her face and said, "Pighead!"
"Pighead? What pighead?" Liu Wentian was confused. He felt he was quite handsome. How could he be a pighead?
Wait, why did his lips feel a bit sore? The hand he used to pinch this woman’s cheek also felt sore?
Liu Wentian looked at his fingers and saw the fingers that had pinched Long Yuanyang’s cheeks were swollen.
He immediately took out his phone, used the front camera to look at his face, and suddenly jumped in fright: his lips were swollen like two sausages, and his tongue was swollen too!
He really did look like a pighead now!
It was then he remembered this woman’s entire body was poisonous, no different from a Gu Insect.
"Crap, just one kiss did this; what if we went all the way? Wouldn’t my little brother rot away?" Liu Wentian exclaimed in fright.
Even his physique was affected like this. If it were an ordinary person, their hands and lips would have rotted away by now.
"Asshole! What did you say?" Long Yuanyang’s gaze turned icy as she glared at him.
Liu Wentian then realized his previous words might have sounded a bit indecent, but rude or not, he was not going to apologize.
Thus, Liu Wentian did not reply, and Long Yuanyang remained silent, the two staring at each other.
"Right, this is for you." Liu Wentian broke the silence first, taking out the wooden carving his Grandpa Liu Qinglian had given him and offered it to Long Yuanyang.
Long Yuanyang did not reach out to take it. After looking at it, she frowned and said, "What is this? Why are you giving it to me?"
The carving depicted a family of three, two adults and a child in swaddling clothes. For some reason, Long Yuanyang felt an inexplicable sense of closeness when she looked at the carving.
She didn’t understand why Liu Wentian would give this to her, or why she felt such a strange feeling!
"Your dad left it for you," Liu Wentian said.
Long Yuanyang paused, then her expression seemed to be covered by a layer of frost as she stared at Liu Wentian and said coldly, "Who asked you to meddle? Get out of here now! Throw this thing away; I don’t have a dad!"
"Are you sure you want to throw it away?"
Unaffected by her harsh tone, Liu Wentian sighed and said, "He has already passed away. This might be the only connection between you and your dad."
"Passed away?" Long Yuanyang suddenly turned to Liu Wentian, her eyes wide, her complexion turning purple.
Liu Wentian nodded and relayed what Grandpa Liu Qinglian had told him about her mother, who preferred death over not birthing her, and her father’s guilt.
Liu Wentian spoke softly because the simple tale contained a profound familial love.
In essence, Liu Wentian understood that bringing this up to Long Yuanyang now was quite cruel.
Because as she realized that her parents loved her, she also had to face the fact that her parents, those two people who deeply loved her, had both passed away.
After listening to Liu Wentian, Long Yuanyang didn’t show much intense emotion but remained silent, her expression indifferent.
Then, Liu Wentian saw tears flowing down her face, though she didn’t even blink an eye.
Only Long Yuanyang could understand the feeling of realizing that the person you always hated dearly loved you, but at the same time, understanding that this person was already dead.
"You’re crying." Liu Wentian suddenly felt a bit sorry for this woman.
"I am not, I won’t cry." Long Yuanyang said stubbornly, even though she was indeed crying, her eyes carrying a touch of confusion. She seemed unsure of where to go in this world.
Liu Wentian changed the subject and said, "You should change out of that cheongsam, it doesn’t quite suit you."
His topic leap was quite big, leaving Long Yuanyang baffled. She looked at him and frowned, "What are you trying to say?"
"I mean, that Gu lady must have been quite tall too, but she must have been very slim, right? Look, your clothes are about to burst." Liu Wentian said.
Her figure was indeed graceful and curvaceous, making the cheongsam look incredibly sizzling.
Of course, his making idle chatter was purely because he didn’t want to see this woman continue crying and wanted to divert her attention.
Long Yuanyang didn’t seem to have that many tears left, as they had already stopped. She didn’t entertain Liu Wentian’s teasing but instead asked, "Do you know about Gu Granny?"
"Yeah, Grandpa Liu Qinglian told me about it. She was the one who took you away. Oh, did she die?" Liu Wentian asked directly, though somewhat impolitely.
Long Yuanyang didn’t mind and said, "Yes, she died."
"When did she die? After she completed remodelling your body?" Liu Wentian asked.
Long Yuanyang said, "Before my body was fully transformed, she died, but she told me what needed to be done afterward."
Upon hearing this, Liu Wentian’s face turned a bit horrific.
From what was implied, this woman had actually refined her own body into the Soul-Exiting Poison Physique!
