Chapter 1244: Chapter 948: Poison Doctor Unrivaled 9 (Six Thousand)_4

Shui Yixuan was very satisfied with her reaction, turning his head to gaze at her intently.

"A graceful lady, a gentleman’s pursuit, I wonder if Miss Jiang would be open to my courtship?"

Jiang Xue looked up in astonishment, meeting his earnest gaze, momentarily speechless.

"Are all of you ancients so straightforward?"

"We ancients? What kind of saying is that? Both you and I are single, or do you think I am not worthy of you? If that’s the case, I will strive to be deserving of you."

Jiang Xue silently lowered her head, "This isn’t about being worthy or not, but rather that I never considered it, given you know my background,"

Shui Yixuan gently tucked the stray hair behind her smooth ear and smiled softly.

"Never mind, you think what you want, I’ll pursue what I wish, we do not interfere with each other, you also have the right not to choose me. But for us people of the Shui Clan, once we’ve identified someone, it’s not easy to let go. Our family doesn’t have the concept of matching backgrounds, my grandpa and my father pursued whom they liked with no hesitation. I am telling you my intentions out of respect, hoping you prepare yourself, because perhaps one day, you might just fall for me?"

Isn’t this a classic [I treat you like a brother, yet you want to have children with me] scenario?

In the original story, Shui Yixuan was a protective brother figure, because they grew up together, later taken as his adoptive sister by his grandfather and father. Initially when asked about his feelings, he claimed he saw her only as a sister, otherwise, she might have become a child bride. Who would’ve thought in this life, he turned his sister into a pursuer?

This gap, to be honest, is quite significant; she didn’t know how to handle it for a moment.

She would say she needed to think about it, but any invitation he made, she seemed to never refuse, and he never asked her opinion either, holding her when he says so, carrying her when needed, under the guise of: "The mountain path is difficult, and you don’t know Qinggong, I’ll carry you."

When he crouched in front of her, Jiang Xue couldn’t think of any words of refusal. In that regard, Shui Yixuan was definitely a scheming man.

Doesn’t matter if you don’t express your stance, I’ll find ways to integrate into your life, making habit seem natural, thus unknowingly dispelling many rivals, like that chatterbox Tang Fengyu!

The genetic makeup of Shui Yixuan’s family is tremendously strong, from grandparents to parents, who aren’t the epitome of great looks?

Just right, Jiang Xue’s looks fall exactly on his aesthetic point; to him, no matter what she does, every smile, every frown, made his heart flutter.

Especially when they first met, she laid in the muddy water under the torrential rain like a fallen fairy; his heart nearly jumped out from tension. She was the wife he brought back, naturally not allowing others to covet.

While in Wind Valley, he noticed her gaze repeatedly land on Beiming Yi, and even asked Chun Yu and Xia He about his news, he was unimpressed and used a ploy, driving away the real person, letting a fake one sit in the horse carriage to confuse others. What’s a prince? Still a crippled person! As for Tang Fengyu, he didn’t even regard him.

Actually, he found those two giant wild boars and even got injured, but considering how hard they created opportunities for him, not only did he reset their bones, but he also let them go. As for their cubs, sorry, but they have to be left for the little wife to satisfy her craving. You two have still hills left, no fear of not having more piglets, bear with the grievance as repayment for kindness.

If Jiang Xue knew Shui Yixuan was also such a black-bellied schemer, what would she think?

He fell in love at first sight with Jiang Xue, her impression of him remains stuck in the original work, unable to extricate herself. Although not on the same channel, Shui Yixuan believed in his ability to clear all obstacles.

After eating grilled fish, Jiang Xue used vines to weave a basket, cleaned and organized the fish inside it, intending for Shui Yixuan to carry, but in the end, he made her carry it. Jiang Xue thought he was tired, though slightly disgruntled by his lack of tenderness, she still carried it.

Turning around, there he squatted on the ground, saying he would carry her, and she blushed for her small-minded suspicion. Before any refusal, he directly grabbed her little legs, pulling her onto his back, even bouncing a few times. Looking down, she could see his tightly clenched fists.

Oh, so he still uses gentleman’s hands?

This man, how clever can he be? Even an ancient knows about gentleman’s hands? Clearly, our thousand-year-old cultural literacy is no joke.

Some people’s qualities are engraved deeply in their bones.

Because Jiang Xue fell into the water, her hairpin was long undone by Shui Yixuan, though letting her hair loose wasn’t quite elegant, her hair was black, long and smooth, hanging over his nape, occasionally tickling it. Sometimes, it brushed against his hand. Such long hair with such volume, and crucially smelling fragrant, left one wondering what she used for care.

Lying on his back, those two soft points behind made him feel the tickling of her breathing, her naturally fragrant body scent teased this budding romantic man. Even with Qinggong, he could return to the camp swiftly, yet he chose to walk slowly. Traversing through the forest after dark, occasionally seeing animals’ glowing eyes and hearing strange calls. Though she said nothing, he sensed her body tensing. When she clung tightly to him, he would reveal a cunning look of satisfaction.

Shui Yixuan, worthy of being a martial artist, carried Jiang Xue, with an additional twenty to thirty jin of fish on her back, yet walked over ten li of mountain road without his face turning red or breath short. When they reached the campsite, she had dozed off from the movements.

It wasn’t until he placed her on the haystack inside the cave that she woke up: "Have we arrived?"

Shui Yixuan took the basket off her back: "There is some roasted wild boar meat, do you want some?"

Jiang Xue shook her head, "No, I’m full and sleepy," Shui Yixuan handed her a blanket as he removed the basket: "Then rest early."

This cave was full of Shui clan people, most of them men, with only three women who were skilled pharmacists resting with Jiang Xue. The reason for bringing women was to ensure someone could look after her when convenient.
