Chapter 161 Shi An's Enlightenment
Upon hearing this, Yunxi nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Shi Hao, who was chatting and laughing with his clansmen, and couldn't help but sigh, "He is indeed remarkable. He was born a supreme being, but his own clansman dug out his supreme bone, and he almost lost his life."
"Instead of becoming negative, they have gradually made it to where they are today, and have once again become the supreme one through their own efforts."
Hearing Yunxi's words, Shi An couldn't help but turn his gaze to Shi Hao, his eyes filled with satisfaction and admiration: "He is indeed extraordinary. He has experienced many hardships that are unimaginable to ordinary people, yet he has still managed to achieve this."
For a moment, the two of them stared at Shi Hao's figure, falling into silence.
The afterglow of the setting sun spilled onto the lake, shimmering and gilding the tranquil scene with a golden glow, making everything appear so harmonious and beautiful.
That night, bonfires were lit in the village as the villagers celebrated Shi Hao's victory. Various wild game was either roasted or boiled until tender, emitting an enticing aroma, along with the fragrance of monkey wine, which wafted far and wide.
The village was bustling with activity and full of joy, as if it were a festival.
Shi An and Yun Xi sat by the campfire, watching their people celebrate. The firelight reflected on their faces, making them look especially warm and peaceful.
Shi An would occasionally exchange a few words with the clansmen who gathered around him, his face beaming with a sincere smile, while Yun Xi listened quietly, occasionally revealing a smile, seemingly also infected by this simple joy.
"Brother, sister-in-law, come and eat some barbecue!"
Suddenly, a crisp sound was heard, and Shi Hao came running over with two large pieces of golden and juicy roasted meat, his face filled with childlike joy.
Thanks, little brother!
Seeing this, Shi An smiled and took the roasted meat, then took a big bite. The aroma of the meat filled the air, making the surrounding children drool.
But they also knew that no matter how much they wanted it, they could not eat the meat because the energy contained in it was too strong for them to bear.
"Thanks······"
At the same time, Yunxi blushed slightly, thanked Shi Hao softly, and then accepted the roasted meat he offered.
"Xiao An, when are you and Yunxi going to get married?"
Just then, Shi Feijiao suddenly spoke up.
As soon as he finished speaking, the other tribesmen began to stir up trouble.
"Yeah, Xiao An, you can't keep dragging this on like this!"
"That's right, Yunxi is such a wonderful girl, you mustn't let anyone snatch her away!"
Shi An didn't react much to the jokes from his clansmen.
But Yunxi, standing to the side, had already lowered her head shyly, her cheeks flushed red, even her ears were tinged with crimson, and her fingers unconsciously rubbed the edge of the roasted meat. Her embarrassed appearance was quite touching.
Seeing this, Shi Hao chuckled and joined in the fun: "Brother, don't delay any longer! Your sister-in-law is such a wonderful girl, you should really cherish her!"
"You little rascal, even you're getting involved in this mess."
Seeing Shi Hao like this, Shi An glared at him angrily, but the emotion in his eyes was a little inexplicable.
Silly boy, this was originally your empress!
Thinking about it, Shi An turned his head and glanced at Yun Xi, who was still looking down. He didn't know what to feel for a moment.
"Alright, alright, everyone, stop fooling around."
Seeing Shi An's reaction, Shi Linhu sighed inwardly, then raised his wine bowl and shouted loudly, "Let's continue eating meat and drinking wine!"
Seeing that even the elderly father, Shi Linhu, had stepped in to smooth things over, everyone else had no choice but to follow suit and continue enjoying this rare moment of togetherness.
The bonfire blazed brightly, illuminating every happy face. The air was filled with laughter and the aroma of roasted meat; everything seemed so beautiful and harmonious.
As night deepened, the bonfire gathering gradually came to an end, and the tribespeople dispersed to return to their homes to rest.
Shi An and Yun Xi also got up, preparing to return to their own place.
"Yunxi, the moonlight is so beautiful tonight."
Shi An looked up at the sky and saw a bright moon hanging high in the sky, its silvery light illuminating the earth as if it were daytime.
"Yes, it's beautiful."
Yunxi softly echoed, her gaze also falling on the bright moon.
The two walked side by side on the way back to the house, and the sound of their footsteps was particularly clear in the quiet night.
A gentle night breeze, carrying a touch of coolness and a refreshing scent, is invigorating.
"cloud·········"
Shi An opened his mouth, as if to say something, but in the end he didn't say it. Instead, he turned his head and murmured, "Get some rest. I'll take you back to Tian Shen Mountain tomorrow."
After saying that, he walked towards his room without looking back.
In fact, he was not unaware of Yunxi's feelings for him; he also had feelings for Yunxi. However, for some reason, he always had an inexplicable concern, as if there was an invisible wall standing between him and Yunxi.
This feeling gave him a complex and indescribable emotion when facing Yunxi.
Watching Shi An's receding figure, a hint of disappointment flashed in Yun Xi's eyes. She gently bit her lip, but in the end, she said nothing. She simply turned around and walked towards her little house.
She knew that Shi An was a responsible person, and his hesitation might have its reasons.
She was willing to wait, to wait for the day when Shi An would open his heart.
The night was quiet, broken only by the occasional chirping of insects.
Back in his room, Shi An lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
His heart was filled with mixed emotions. He closed his eyes, and his mind was filled with memories of his time with Yunxi, from their first meeting to fighting side by side, and now to their silent companionship. Every scene was so clear, as if it had happened just yesterday.
"What am I afraid of?"
Shi An asked himself in his heart, he knew very well that his feelings for Yun Xi were real and could not be ignored.
However, whenever he thought about the relationship between the other party and Shi Hao in the original work, he would always feel hesitant.
"Perhaps I should be braver."
After a long while, a thought flashed through Shi An's mind.
"Giggle giggle!"
The next morning, with the sound of roosters crowing, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds and sprinkled on Shi Village, Shi An had already gotten up, and after a simple wash, he came to Yun Xi's house.
Similarly, Yun Xi had also gotten up and was standing in front of the door, seemingly waiting for him.
She wore a light purple dress, looking elegant and refined, like a fairy descended from heaven, beautiful and charming, but a hint of melancholy was revealed between her brows.
Looking at Yunxi like this, a hint of amazement flashed in Shi An's eyes, but he quickly calmed down and said with a hint of gentleness in his tone, "Yunxi, are you ready? I'll take you back to Tianshen Mountain."
"Um!"
Yunxi nodded, a smile appearing on her face.
And so, after bidding farewell to their parents, as well as Shi Hao, Shi Yunfeng, and other clansmen, the two walked out of Shi Village side by side.
They didn't say much along the way, just walked silently.
However, this silence was not awkward; on the contrary, it gave people a sense of tranquility and warmth.
