Chapter 384 The Cold and Pure Human Buddha Child VS The Adorable and Devoted Demon Cat Emperor [60]
After Jiang Xiyu understood, he couldn't help but tremble slightly all over, as if he were holding something that had never melted for thousands of years.
After a moment of confusion, Jiang Xiyu immediately lowered her hands, turned her face slightly away from him, and gently hugged Shiga, the movement naturally easing the awkwardness.
He didn't want Shiga to realize that he was already awake.
Right now, he really doesn't know how to deal with it...
After being embraced, Shiga did not immediately reject him.
After realizing what had happened, he inexplicably tightened his grip on Jiang Xiyu's fingers, as if the near-touch kiss just now was merely an illusion.
Meanwhile, out of Jiang Xiyu's sight, the crimson in Shiga's eyes faded silently, and a darker color gradually filled them.
He believed that his abnormality had disrupted the order of the illusion, thus interfering with Jiang Xiyu's inner thoughts.
So when Jiang Xiyu hugged him and rested his head lightly on his shoulder, Shiga did not push him away.
He remained silent, his gaze seemingly fixed on nowhere amidst the red shadows filling the room.
The night outside grew even deeper, and the red candles on the table burned for a shorter time than before.
Jiang Xiyu finally came to his senses. He pulled away from Shijia's embrace, sat up slightly, and softly called out, "Master..."
Upon hearing that address, Shiga's gaze slowly returned, his eyes flickering slightly.
He stared at Jiang Xiyu for a long time, his brows furrowing slightly, and said, "You're awake?"
His tone was hoarse, yet still cold and indifferent.
Jiang Xiyu paused, then nodded slightly, trying to make herself appear as normal as possible.
He looked at Shiga's wedding dress, his eyes darting away, and asked, "Master, what brings you here?"
Recalling the embrace just now, although it was a somewhat reluctant act, Jiang Xiyu still felt a little embarrassed. After all, when he was holding Shiga and trying to catch his breath, Shiga's body was still as cold as ever.
The temperature was different from his infatuation; Shiga's breathing was faint, like mist, without any of the passion a normal person should have.
However, he was indeed not a worldly person, so it was only natural that he did not have these things.
Upon hearing this, Shiga merely glanced at Jiang Xiyu indifferently and remained silent.
Jiang Xiyu seemed to know what was going on and said somewhat embarrassedly, "My original intention was to enter the illusion to take a look, but I didn't expect that this illusion could gradually make people lose their minds..."
He wanted to see what kind of illusion his greed had created, but now that the person he was marrying had become Shiga, Jiang Xiyu dared not say anything more.
He subtly changed the subject, then tentatively asked, "Master, when did you come in?"
If it had happened earlier than today's wedding, Shiga might have already known his identity.
Jiang Xiyu was about to think about how to explain it.
He was even a little worried that he might have shown any other abnormalities. The thought of possibly being exposed gave Jiang Xiyu a headache.
However, the truth is that time passes much faster in the illusion than in reality.
Jiang Xiyu experienced his first encounter with Yuejia, their time together, and the scenes changed several times, but in reality, only a few breaths had passed.
Shiga looked up at him, his expression unchanged. After a long while, he said, "On the day of the wedding."
Jiang Xiyu was stunned for a moment, and as she realized what was happening, she breathed a sigh of relief, but then her heart tightened instantly.
On the day of the wedding?
If Rushika arrived at the time of his wedding, then the bride he went to fetch was...
Shiga came, but still went through all the wedding procedures with him.
Haven't they already paid their respects to heaven and earth and become husband and wife together?
Jiang Xiyu's eyes were filled with astonishment, but he concealed this shock very well.
After a moment, he took a deep breath and said to Shiga, "I have offended the Dharma Master, please forgive me."
Half of Shiga's profile was darkened by the candlelight, making his eyes seem even more profound.
He didn't say anything.
Jiang Xiyu remained silent for a long time before smiling at Shijia, her eyes filled with gratitude: "In any case, I'm sorry to have worried you, Master."
There was no longer any tenderness in those eyes; all that remained was devout reverence.
Shiga frowned, looked away, and then said, "It's alright."
He woke up.
The illusion should dissipate.
Seeing his cold and aloof demeanor, which was as precious as gold, Jiang Xiyu, though already used to it, still sighed inwardly.
He guessed that Shiga was probably offended by him as well; after all, no one in this world would dare to mess with a Grand Mage, let alone treat him like this…
If he had revealed his true form and been affectionate with Shiga, Jiang Xiyu would naturally have no burden in his heart. Cats love to be close to their owners; it's their nature. But unfortunately, he wasn't in his true form.
He knew that Shiga's past pity for him was the same as his pity for all living beings.
But now, he almost crossed the line with Shiga; he desecrated him in that way…
Jiang Xiyu thought about it for a moment, then cursed himself for being a bastard.
What a terrible sin!
Jiang Xiyu was filled with mixed feelings. He immediately stood up and distanced himself from Shiga. "Master, let's go out."
Shiga nodded slightly and got up from the couch.
He was tall and slender, and his wedding dress was flowing and beautiful; it was a sight Jiang Xiyu had never seen before.
Normally, Shiga would only wear a plain white robe, and his body would never have too many patterns or colors. Unexpectedly, when he wore a wedding dress, he was so elegant and beautiful.
Jiang Xiyu couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Shiga moved slightly, glancing at him seemingly unintentionally.
Jiang Xiyu's heart suddenly started racing. He abruptly turned his face away, his eyelashes trembling guiltily, feeling quite embarrassed as if he had been caught peeping at someone.
He is nervous.
Shiga lowered his eyes, then looked away, his tone softening as he said, "Let's go."
Jiang Xiyu collected her thoughts and hummed in agreement.
He slowly closed his eyes, a purple glint seemingly trailing behind them.
A moment later, all the surrounding scenery began to tear apart and disappear...
Before the illusion completely disappeared, Shiga seemed to remember something and suddenly turned around to look into the red tent.
……
When Jiang Xiyu opened his eyes again, his consciousness broke free from the illusion, and the scenery before him vaguely transformed into a Bodhisattva statue. Once his vision was clear enough, he looked at the person sitting cross-legged in front of him. After removing his wedding dress, he was wearing a kasaya, and it seemed as if moonlight was flowing around him.
Along with that, there was also the faint fragrance of temple incense lingering in the air.
Jiang Xiyu sniffed, and the unease that had arisen in the illusion seemed to have been soothed considerably.
However, even though he had already emerged from the illusion, Shiga had not yet opened his eyes.
Hasn't he come out yet?
Jiang Xiyu looked at him quietly.
A moment later, Shiga seemed to finally emerge from the illusion.
He slowly raised his eyes, his gaze falling on Jiang Xiyu for a moment before gently shifting away.
