Chapter 534
Nie Xiaoqian frowned at him and asked unhappily, "Who are you?"
Few people come here. Nie Xiaoqian could sense that Ling Yanyan was no ordinary person, but she couldn't get any specific details.
Ling Yanyan smiled faintly and said, "I should be asking you that question. It's so late at night, and a young lady like you is playing the zither here instead of going home. I know there are wolves in these mountains. Aren't you afraid of being attacked by them?"
He already knew that Nie Xiaoqian was a female ghost, but he made this joke in order to get to know her as quickly as possible.
Nie Xiaoqian was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting Ling Yanyan to ask her a question in return.
She realized that her behavior was a bit strange, so she explained, "That's because my house is right next to here, very close. If any wolves come, they can save me. But you, I've never seen you before."
As she spoke, Nie Xiaoqian's eyes became wary.
"Greetings, young lady. My name is Ling Yanyan. I haven't been here long, which is why you haven't seen me before. I'm currently staying at Lanruo Temple. May I ask your name?"
Upon seeing Ling Yanyan, who directly told her her name, Nie Xiaoqian did not hide anything and said, "My name is Nie Xiaoqian."
He was right; this woman of unparalleled beauty was indeed Nie Xiaoqian.
She's so beautiful, no wonder she's so famous in her own world.
Ling Yanyan laughed heartily, walked over and sat down next to Nie Xiaoqian, and said with a smile.
"Nie Xiaoqian? That's a really nice name."
At this moment, Ling Yanyan and Nie Xiaoqian were standing very close together, which made Nie Xiaoqian somewhat unhappy.
Yan Chixia, who had been hiding in the woods and watching this situation closely, was naturally even more displeased.
"What's with this miraculous effect? Have they forgotten why they came here? They came to catch the female ghost, how come this guy is..."
"That female ghost is so close, could she be bewitched?"
Nie Xiaoqian sighed inwardly. She didn't want to work for the tree demon, but she had no choice in the matter.
Her eyes darted around, and seeing how handsome Ling Yanyan was, she figured she wouldn't be at a disadvantage.
With a determined bite, she pretended to fall onto Ling Yanyan as if it were an accident.
She looked at Ling Yanyan with a gentle smile and said softly, "Young Master Ling, I feel so cold."
Feeling the softness on his body, Ling Yanyan's lips twitched. He didn't expect her to use this trick too. Do all female ghosts like to do this?
"I can tell you're really cold. You're practically ice-cold, with no body temperature at all."
Ling Yanyan couldn't help but complain.
He grabbed Nie Xiaoqian's hand, which was trying to do something inappropriate to him, and the feeling of it was quite pleasant.
It's soft, white, and cool, perfect for cooling off in the summer.
Nie Xiaoqian was startled, not expecting Ling Yanyan to say such a thing, and a hint of guilt showed in her eyes.
"Yes, I'm too cold. Young Master Ling is much warmer."
As Nie Xiaoqian spoke, she seemed genuinely afraid of the cold, leaning her entire body against Ling Yanyan.
The two were very close; if Ling Yanyan moved forward just a little more, he could kiss Nie Xiaoqian's face.
Ling Yanyan's lips twitched, wondering if Nie Xiaoqian was testing him.
"Xiaoqian, even if you're cold, you don't need to stand so close to me. If you're really cold, light a fire. Once you have a fire, you won't be cold anymore."
Nie Xiaoqian was speechless. She never expected that this man could be so clueless about romance. He was such a clueless straight man.
Instead of backing away, she moved even closer.
"Young Master Ling, fire cannot give me the warmth I need; only you can."
Nie Xiaoqian couldn't believe that with her beauty she couldn't seduce Ling Yanyan. She thought that even if Liu Xiahui came, she could still win him over.
However, Ling Yanyan's gaze remained perfectly clear, showing no sign of being bewitched by her whatsoever.
Nie Xiaoqian was at a loss. In the past, she had encountered men with strong wills, but they were basically unable to get rid of her.
However, Ling Yanyan was completely different, showing no emotion whatsoever, as if he were a monk who had attained immortality.
The more Nie Xiaoqian thought about it, the more she felt that the young man in front of her was very strange, completely unlike the men she had ever met before.
Nie Xiaoqian was a little stunned, and couldn't help but wonder what was going on with Ling Yanyan.
Seeing that Nie Xiaoqian was already suspicious, Ling Yanyan decided not to tease her any further... otherwise, it would be really infuriating if the cooked duck flew away.
Ling Yanyan smiled slightly at Nie Xiaoqian and said, "Xiaoqian, if I'm not mistaken, you should have a younger sister, right?"
These words came so suddenly that Nie Xiaoqian was a little dumbfounded.
Before Nie Xiaoqian could speak, Ling Yanyan continued, "Is your younger sister named Xiaoqing?"
Upon hearing this, Nie Xiaoqian immediately stood up and looked at Ling Yanyan with some fear.
"How did you know?"
Does this guy already know my real identity?
