C42 The Original Face

Sikou Nianxi seemed to have yet to fully recover from her nightmare as she panted and muttered, "I don't know, I don't know..."

Liu Jing looked at Sikou Nianxi and frowned as he wiped the cold sweat off his forehead for her. He said, "It's still early. You should rest for a while. We will continue on our journey when the sun rises."

Sikou Nianxi nodded weakly when she heard that. Her face was a little pale. However, she still smiled. "It was midnight yesterday. If you don't tell me, I will. I almost forgot the purpose of our trip was to get the Seven-Colored Lotus for Zhao Lee and Cui Wei." After saying that, Sikou Nianxi let out a sigh of relief. She continued, "Fortunately, the thousand-year-old ginseng can at least protect Zhao Lee and Cui Wei's lives for a month. We are not far from Mount Ziwei now. Liu Jing, we will be able to harvest the Seven-Colored Lotus soon."

Liu Jing nodded with a smile. Yes, Zhao Lee and Cui Wei will wake up soon. " Finally, Zhao Lee looked at Sikou Nianxi again and said gently, "But now, you should rest early."

Sikou Nianxi smiled and laid back on the bed. Liu Jing carefully covered her with the blanket and said, "Go to sleep." Sikou Nianxi nodded but did not close her eyes. Liu Jing smiled gently. "How can you sleep if you don't close your eyes? "Don't be afraid. I'll stay by your side. You won't have nightmares."

Sikou Nianxi looked at Liu Jing for a while and finally closed her eyes slowly. The night outside the window was thick. The moonlight was like water, reflecting the sky full of stars. Liu Jing's lips moved slightly. His gaze was as gentle as the moonlight, but deep in his eyes, there was a deep loneliness.

Without going back to lie down, Liu Jing leaned against Sikou Nianxi's bed. He reached out his hand and gently held Sikou Nianxi's small hand. He smiled and looked at her peaceful sleeping face.

Suddenly Liu Jing took out a brocade box from his sleeve and gently lifted the lid of the brocade box. Liu Jing brought the brocade box closer to Sikou Nianxi and blew on it. The powder in the brocade box fell onto Sikou Nianxi's face.

However, in an instant, Sikou Nianxi's skin color became lighter and lighter. In the end, she had recovered her usual face. Her skin was like fine fat, bright white like the moon, and was devastatingly beautiful.

Sikou Nianxi's breathing was long. Liu Jing stared closely at Sikou Nianxi's face and sighed slightly. He stretched out his hand to touch her honor and said in a desolate voice, "I really don't know how long I can look at you like this.

Liu Jing sat on Sikou Nianxi's bed like this. He did not know how long he sat on Sikou Nianxi's bed until the night quietly fell and the first rays of sunlight appeared in the east.

Sunlight scattered through the window in the room. Sikou Nianxi's eyelashes blinked slightly and slowly opened her eyes. Liu Jing looked at her with a faint smile. "Are you awake?"

Sikou Nianxi rubbed her head. She frowned and struggled to sit up from the bed. She looked at Liu Jing and smiled. "Last night when I was riding on the wind with your Lightness Arts, I was pretty cool. I didn't expect that I would wake up in pain today."

Liu Jing smiled and rubbed her temples. He smiled and said, "Yesterday, I carried you in the air for more than half a circle. I wasn't tired, but you were in pain, huh?"

Sikou Nianxi smiled and winked at Liu Jing. "You, Young Master Liu Jing, have extraordinary martial arts skills. How can you be compared with a weak woman like me?" Liu Jing did not refute her. He just smiled and shook his head. "Get up. I will go and pack up. We will leave immediately."

Sikou Nianxi nodded. She put on her coat and sat up on the bed. When she looked down, she saw that the floor was still folded neatly. She could not help frowning and looking up at Liu Jing. "What's wrong? You haven't slept all night?"

Liu Jing was stunned for a moment. He lowered his head and looked at the bed. He smiled and shook his head. "It's nothing, but I can't sleep. I thought about something." Seeing Sikou Nianxi still staring at him with a trace of inquiry in her eyes, Liu Jing smiled and came over to help Sikou Nianxi up. "Are you still not up?"

After cleaning up, Sikou Nianxi and Liu Jing walked downstairs together. Liu Jing gently handed Sikou Nianxi's medical bag to her and carried it on her back. "I found that I need to bring the Thousand Li Good Horse over. Wait here for a while." Sikou Nianxi nodded gently. "Yes."

The inn downstairs was still bustling with noise. The table was full of people. The waiter was also busy greeting the guests as usual. Seeing the food carried by the waiter, Sikou Nianxi suddenly remembered that she was almost done with her dried food. It was time to prepare some more.

Thinking of this, Sikou Nianxi shouted at the waiter, "Waiter, come here for a moment." Hearing Sikou Nianxi's voice, the waiter subconsciously turned his head around. However, when he saw Sikou Nianxi, he was stunned on the spot.

Sikou Nianxi saw that the waiter had a strange expression and was stunned on the spot. She did not come over and found it funny. She walked towards him and said, "I am calling you, waiter. Didn't you hear me?"

"You... you..." The waiter pointed at Sikou Nianxi, his eyes full of disbelief. "You are the lady who is with the young master in white?" Sikou Nianxi smiled and nodded, "Of course, why, but I haven't seen you for a night, so the waiter doesn't recognize me?"

The waiter stared at Sikou Nianxi for a long time before shaking his head. He said, "It's not that I don't recognize you after a night. It's just that you have changed a lot overnight."

Sikou Nianxi smiled and raised her eyebrows, "Then tell me. Where did I change? " The waiter was about to speak when he suddenly thought of something and opened his eyes wide, "This lowly one remembers. Last night, the young lady told me that the young lady's face was merely covered with medicine. It was not so dark in the first place..."

As he spoke, the waiter looked at Sikou Nianxi and shook his head. "It's just that I didn't expect... Tsk tsk tsk tsk, the lady's original appearance is actually so beautiful. She is really a good match for the young master in white."

"Waiter, what are you talking about? What original appearance..." Sikou Nianxi suddenly stopped talking and looked at the waiter thoughtfully. "Are you saying that the skin color on my face has recovered and is no longer wrapped in Charcoal?"

Before the waiter could reply, Liu Jing's voice sounded from behind. "My wife's skin is as white as snow lotus but what does it have to do with Charcoal?"

Sikou Nianxi stared at Liu Jing. She already knew it in her heart. She smiled at the waiter and said, "My skin has always been like this, hehe, always like this." The waiter nodded as if he did not understand. He looked at Sikou Nianxi in front of him as if she was still not used to it. He paused and asked, "Then I wonder if Miss had asked me to come over just now. Is there anything I can do for you?"

Sikou Nianxi only remembered after being reminded by the waiter. She could not help shaking her head with a bitter smile. Her memory was getting worse and worse.
