Chapter 457 - 0281 is from when did you start to like it (two in one)

When Xu Chang’an couldn’t find an answer, he would use himself as a reference.

Let’s not mention conjecturing why the girl would fall for him, it’s difficult enough for him to figure out what made him admire her...

Was it their first meeting, thinking he had encountered a celestial being as stunning as the starry sky?

Or after getting to know her, being enchanted by her Nine Heavens Immortal-like beauty?

Perhaps it was knowing the threefold cuteness hidden beneath her cold demeanor that made his heart race.

The reasons that moved his heart are as countless as the stars, so Xu Chang’an didn’t know when he was moved, perhaps it was... love at first sight?

Anyway, ever since he opened his eyes and saw the girl, knowing she saved him, he couldn’t suppress the thought of wanting to stay by her side.

But Xu Chang’an was well aware that such feelings were admiration.

Then when did this admiration transform into affection...

That’s worth discussing.

Maybe it started when he returned from the mountain, covered in dirt while catching game, and Miss Yun gently wiped his face.

Maybe it began when Miss Yun could carefully savor, chew slowly the food scraps that didn’t taste great he made.

Perhaps it was when he served her by changing her clothes.

It might also be when Miss Yun caught a cold from the sea breeze for the first time and lay bedridden, and he realized the girl’s importance to him as he worried by her side.

If searching for a simple answer, it might be because of bathing together, as a normal man, it’s perfectly normal to like a woman who is intimate with him.

Yes.

Xu Chang’an thought, there is another important reason, that a long time ago, the girl used him as a pillow whenever she slept.

Miss Yun didn’t sleep well, turning and tossing all night, with her long hair often tangled around him by morning.

This pillow life continued for years... Heaven knows when his admiration transformed.

Xu Chang’an often thought, maybe he never admired her, from beginning to end he harbored ulterior motives for Miss Yun.

Thus, just as he couldn’t find when he started liking Miss Yun from his vast memories, he believed Miss Yun was the same, unable to pinpoint when it began, which is why he said it fermented silently in the daily life, with no concrete start.

This was very normal.

——

Outside the Cloud Boat, the earthly paradise was just so.

The girl was attentively gazing at the sky, he said it was beautiful, so he naturally took a good look.

The Cloud Sea lacked the ocean’s blue and roaring waves, but it had the ocean’s vastness and majesty.

Yet it was inconspicuous, clearly visible just by looking up... Only, seeing it required a keen eye.

"Sea"... is it beautiful?

Perhaps.

Yun Qian withdrew her gaze, noticing Xu Chang’an lost in thought, she didn’t disturb him.

He thought... slowly falling for her in daily life, then so be it.

After all, since becoming Yun Qian’s girl, understanding it this way wasn’t wrong.

"Miss." Xu Chang’an snapped out of it, coughed and asked, "Is it beautiful?"

"Yes."

Even though Xu Chang’an was distracted, he didn’t forget to pay attention to Yun Qian, and could naturally see her enjoying the view there. He wrapped an arm around Yun Qian’s slender waist, sighing, "No matter how many times I ride this Cloud Boat, it’s always captivating."

The kind of feeling being among the clouds, wherever he went, the clouds followed, even reaching out to touch it, having his face touch it...

It’s very mesmerizing.

Xu Chang’an had countless times been enraptured by this vastness of heaven and earth, realizing his own insignificance, yet conversely, he also understood what it meant by the difference between immortals and mortals.

The vastness of heaven and earth allows me to roam freely.

In that small moment, he felt like an immortal, being able to tread in the heights of the sky.

It was his first time personally experiencing the so-called power of the immortals, knowing neither on the island nor in Beisang City, had he ever been far from ordinary life, but upon truly encountering "transcendent" power, he was certainly moved.

But Xu Chang’an found his heart was still empty for some reason, so after his solitary trip up and down the mountain, he soon put away his heart’s desires.

Now he knew what his heart was lacking.

Feeling the warmth in his arms, Xu Chang’an smiled softly.

Yun Qian could feel him smiling, yet didn’t know why, so she asked, "Why are you smiling?"

Was it because he wanted to become an immortal?

Miss Yun thought there was no need to rush, this boating among the clouds, she loved it very much.

"I’m just happy, so I smiled." Xu Chang’an said something very reasonable, yet had no intention to explain it in detail.

He certainly knew why he felt empty, because without Miss Yun by his side, even the sensation of being like an immortal lost its meaning after the momentary excitement.

The vastness of heaven and earth allows me to roam freely, but if the girl isn’t by my side, this cultivation... loses its meaning.

From that moment on, he deeply realized that he was this kind of worthless person, so having her cultivate with him became indispensable.

Gazing at the far-off, non-dazzling sun, with a gilded radiance, the scenery among the clouds was truly gorgeous.

Surely, only reaching the peaks can one truly understand the vastness of the sky, not to mention soaring through the sky with his wife.

The cloud layers surrounding Chaoyun Sect are indeed a spectacular sight.
