Chapter 309: Heart Felt as Sweet as Honey
Quan Jue was an atheist.
However, when he heard the words “pray for a smooth relations.h.i.+p”, his heart stirred.
He gave Chi Jiao a deep look and went to buy some incense.
The incense money couldn’t be bought by a representative. He could only buy it himself and burn it himself.
After Quan Jue offered incense to the Flower G.o.ddess, they were prepared to leave when they were stopped by a female Daoist.
“Benefactors, please wait.” The female Daoist walked over and bowed to them.
Chi Jiao pressed her palms together and bowed to the female Daoist.
“I see that the two of you are fated. These two sticks of Marriage Affinity Wood are for you two. I hope that your relations.h.i.+p will last beautifully until you grow old.” As the little female Daoist spoke, she handed two sticks of Marriage Affinity Wood to Chi Jiao.
The Marriage Affinity Wood was a bracelet made of ordinary sandalwood. After consecration and incense offering, a unique blessing was bestowed upon it.
Chi Jiao happily took the bracelets and thanked the female Daoist.
After leaving the temple, Chi Jiao put on the bracelet.
Her wrist was thinner and needed to be wrapped three times to be secured.
Quan Jue glanced at her. The simple sandalwood bracelet on the little girl’s wrist looked indescribably beautiful.
Then, he put the bracelet on his wrist where he originally wore a silver bracelet.
Seeing Quan Jue put on the bracelet, Chi Jiao’s heart felt as sweet as honey.
Jiang Xiaoli and Jiang Shen had also walked out of the Glazed Tile Temple. The two walked to them as Jiang Shen said to Chi Jiao, “Xiaoli and I want to take a look around. We’ll head down the mountain later.”
Of course, Chi Jiao wouldn’t meddle in his business. She nodded casually.
The scenery at the top of the mountain was extremely beautiful. It had a kind of immortal mist lingering around it.
Chi Jiao and Quan Jue waited on the bench and chatted for a while before she saw Jiang Xiaoli enter the woods not far away.
Chi Jiao lowered her gaze to hide the cold glint in her eyes. “Brother Quan, I want to go to the washroom,” she said with a smile.
“Go ahead. I’ll wait for you here,” Quan Jue said.
“Okay, I’ll be back soon.”
Chi Jiao got up and walked to the public washroom.
The woods were quiet and the view was beautiful.
Jiang Xiaoli held a camera and took photos while admiring the beautiful scenery.
Suddenly…
A little squirrel suddenly caught her attention and she chased after it with her camera.
The little squirrel looked very afraid and ran off.
Having come out from the back door of the public toilet, Chi Jiao silently followed behind her. She watched as Jiang Xiaoli chased the little squirrel to the edge of the cliff.
There were still protective railings at the edge of the cliff. However, the protective railings here were not as high as those on the platform outside the forest.
The little squirrel ran beyond the railing. It held a fruit in its hand and began to nibble it.
It was as if it knew that no one could catch it if it stood there.
“Little sweetheart, stop running. Let me take a good picture of you.” Jiang Xiaoli’s eyes lit up as she looked at the charmingly naive little squirrel. In order to get the best angle, her feet stepped on the lowest part of the railing.
At that moment, Jiang Xiaoli’s attention was focused on the squirrel. She didn’t notice a tiny figure silently appear behind her.
Suddenly…
A small fair hand suddenly reached out and pushed her.
Jiang Xiaoli’s body immediately leaned forward as she let out an earth-shattering scream.
