The cave was silent.
The two closed their eyes and began to practice.
Boy and girl, thunder and fire.
My soul and heart are beating fast, ready to move.
The spiritual liquid entered the bodies of the two people and quickly turned into a vast and powerful energy, which began to flow through their limbs, meridians and acupoints.
The root of the thunder spirit in Luo Qingzhou's body was jumping with arcs of electricity, and a stream of hot air slowly rose.
The root of the fire spirit in Xiaoyue's body was burning with flames, and the fire spirit energy flowed upward along the meridians.
The two men sat face to face, using their respective thunder spirit energy and fire spirit energy as conduits to begin absorbing and fusing each other's physical energy.
The night passed quietly.
When he woke up from his training and opened his eyes, Xiaoyue had fallen asleep in his arms.
However, there was still a halo emanating from her body, and even when she was so close, her face was hazy and blurry.
Luo Qingzhou stared at her for a while with complicated eyes, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand and gently stroke her cheek. Her skin was delicate, smooth, and as tender as a girl's. Her figure was also graceful and slender. She was neither a man nor an old man, so it didn't matter if she was a little ugly.
The burning sensation in the soul began to fade away gradually.
There is always a little bit left, just a little bit left before you can break through.
He decided to rest for half a day and then try to absorb two more drops of spiritual liquid. The energy contained in the spiritual liquid was very powerful and should be able to help him break through directly.
He held Xiaoyue in his arms, took out the communication certificate, and looked at the new message on it.
The princess sent a message: The Taoist priests and Jinyiwei from Zijin Temple have all left. They found nothing and apologized to my father. However, my father is still furious and is going to join forces with several other princes to go to the palace today to meet the Queen Mother and His Majesty to file a complaint.
Chu Feiyang, are you safe there? I'm worried about you. The whole of Kyoto is still blocked and they are still searching everywhere.
Luo Qingzhou replied: Princess, I'm fine. Is there any news about my elder brother
Nangong Meijiao seemed to be holding the message and waiting for his reply. As soon as he sent the message, he received a reply: Not yet. The princess said she would find a way to help find it. By the way, can you come to our palace? They have already searched here, and they probably won't come again. I'll hide you in the room, no one will know.
Luo Qingzhou: No, I'm safe here. Princess, please help me find my brother. I think he might be in trouble.
Xiao Meijiao: Well, I have mobilized all my connections to look for him. Chu Feiyang, are you alone now
Luo Qingzhou glanced at the sleeping girl in his arms and replied: Yes
As for the spirit and soul, it shouldn't be considered a complete person, right
Xiao Meijiao: I miss you, I miss you so much. If only I could go and accompany you now, you wouldn't be alone in such a cold place.
Luo Qingzhou felt guilty and could only say: "Princess, I won't say anything more. I have to practice. Don't worry, I will be fine. We will meet soon."
Xiao Meijiao: Well, Brother Feiyang, I'll wait for you.
Luo Qingzhou sighed secretly in his heart.
At this moment, the message in my hand suddenly lit up, and Sister Yue actually sent a message: Have you advanced
Luo Qingzhou said quickly: Not yet, I feel like I need to accumulate more energy, and my soul power doesn't seem to be enough.
Sister Yue: How to practice
Luo Qingzhou said: Take the spiritual liquid and exchange the fire spirit energy in your body with Xiaoyue.
Sister Yue: How did we exchange
Luo Qingzhou paused for a moment and confessed: We sat face to face.
Sister Yue: What else
Luo Qingzhou: That’s all. What else do you want to know, Sister Yue
After thinking for a while, he replied: Although my soul wanted to do something excessive at that time, I controlled it. Sister Yue, although I might be promoted directly in that case, I feel that if I do that, you will look down on me, and I will also look down on myself, and I feel that I will be sorry for Xiaoyue.
Sister Yue: In that case, it will indeed be a breakthrough
Luo Qingzhou: I don’t regret it
Sister Yue: What about her
Luo Qingzhou hesitated for a moment and said: Fell asleep
Sister Yue: Oh
There was a long silence.
Luo Qingzhou asked again: Sister Yue, are you worried about me
Sister Yue: In fact, Long Er is more suitable for you than her
Luo Qingzhou: Sister Yue, are you worried about me
After a while, the message came back: Long Er is worried
Luo Qingzhou: I'm asking you, not Long Er.
Sister Yue: No
Luo Qingzhou said: Are you not worried, or do you not want to answer
Sister Yue: Don’t worry
Luo Qingzhou: …
"Brother is like a little licking dog..."
At this moment, a faint gurgling sound suddenly came from his arms.
Luo Qingzhou looked down and saw that Xiaoyue had woken up and was staring at the message in his hand.
Luo Qingzhou pushed her away.
Xiaoyue's body softened and she fell on the bed. She pouted and said aggrievedly, "Brother, I almost got hurt while helping you practice. Now you want to push me away just to chat with your sister Yue?"
Luo Qingzhou quickly helped her up again, let her lean on his arms, and apologized: "Xiaoyue, I'm sorry..."
Xiaoyue sobbed a bit, and then secretly looked at the communication token in his hand, and said aggrievedly: "Brother just finished making out with me, and then took advantage of me sleeping to flirt with your sister Yue, brother is not worthy of me, wu..."
Luo Qingzhou said awkwardly: "Just chatting."
Xiaoyue pouted and whispered: "Obviously he was licking..."
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt a little sad.
She tried her best to lick her brother humbly and pitifully, but her brother was licking that hypocritical woman humbly. It turned out that Xiaoyue was the most pitiful person.
The more I think about it, the sadder I feel.
Luo Qingzhou said: "Xiaoyue, I'll hide here for the time being. I think it should be safer here. As for the Southern Kingdom Prince's Mansion, I'd better not go there, so as not to implicate them."
Xiaoyue sobbed and said, "It's up to you, brother. I can't control you, nor do I dare to control you..."
Luo Qingzhou thought about what happened last night and felt a little guilty. He stroked her hair and said, "Xiaoyue, you helped me this time, I..."
"Brother, I volunteered to do this, and I'm not asking you to repay me or anything."
Xiaoyue wiped her tears, left his arms, got off the bed and said, "Brother, have a good rest. I'm going back and will come to see you later."
After saying that, he left sadly.
Luo Qingzhou watched her back disappear at the cave entrance, and felt more and more guilty and conflicted.
Xiaoyue walked into the dark passage, and the sadness on her face disappeared immediately. She thought to herself: It seems that my brother is still obsessed with that hypocritical woman and has fantasies about her. I have to hurry up. I wanted to make it a done deal with my brother last night, but unfortunately, I consumed too much fire spirit energy and fell asleep...
It doesn’t matter. I will go to my mother today and ask her to let me marry you.
Then…
While thinking in her heart, she walked through the underground into the palace with ease and returned to her own Yaohua Palace.
Back in the study, my soul returned to its original state...
Nangong Huoyue, dressed in a fiery red dress, sat at the table and slowly opened her eyes. Her face was delicate and majestic.
She looked dazed and her eyes were dull. She was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses.
She slowly raised her fingers and stroked her lips, thinking about the practice with that man last night. Her other hand in her sleeve slowly clenched into a fist.
"How shameful... I..."
"Forget it, anyway, in the future..."
She raised her head and looked at the sky outside the window.
The sun had not risen yet, the sky was dark, a cold wind blew past the windowsill, and a few snowflakes fell.
It's snowing.
She sat quietly for a while, then slowly stood up and walked to the mirror in the inner room. She looked at her tall and graceful figure and her beautiful and cold face in the mirror. She was silent for a long time and murmured, "Is it a stopgap measure, or... is it real?"
She stood in front of the mirror for a long time before turning around and going out to the Queen Mother's palace.
Since you must get married, then... marry him!
She will use her status as the eldest princess to take back all the shame Xiaoyue has brought upon her!
—Let him pay it back with his whole life!
Snowflakes were slowly falling from the sky.
The cold wind blew up her fiery red skirt and ribbon, and blew up her black hair, but did not cause any ripples in her cold and majestic eyes.
She is Nangong Huoyue, the eldest princess, and the proud daughter of Dayan!
Even he would kneel under her red skirt, humbly fawning on her, and be a... pitiful licking dog!
What's so good about licking that woman? Licking her is the right choice!
In the palace, the Queen Mother was wearing elegant and luxurious clothes. She was sitting alone at the table, frowning, eating breakfast and thinking about things.
There were more than a dozen palace maids standing in the room, all with their heads bowed, respectful and careful.
Nangong Huoyue walked in without reporting.
The Queen Mother was a little surprised to see her coming over on her own initiative, and asked, "Huoyue, you are here so early, is there something urgent?"
Nangong Huoyue didn't say anything and glanced at the palace maid in the room.
The Queen Mother understood and immediately ordered, "Everyone, please leave. No one is allowed to come in without my order. The guards at the door, please leave as well."
"Yes, Queen Mother!"
The palace maids and guards retreated immediately.
The door creaked and was closed from the outside.
Nangong Huoyue stood in front of the table for a while, then looked at her and said, "Mother, do you really want me to get married?"
The Queen Mother was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then said, "Huoyue, you are not a child anymore. If your father were here, I'm afraid he would worry about you even more."
Then she sighed again and said, "You have also seen that so many major events have happened in the palace in the past few days. This time, the Taikang Banquet made us lose face in Da Yan, and I heard that Zijin Temple was also wiped out. In the final analysis, we are still too weak, so we need some more powerful forces to join. You are the eldest princess of Da Yan, and your father promised before his death that he would look after Da Yan for him and your brother... So, Huoyue, your mother can only wrong you..."
Nangong Huoyue was silent for a while, then said, "Then can I decide on my own son-in-law?"
The Queen Mother looked at her and said, "As long as you are willing, as long as the other party is excellent, and as long as the Emperor, your uncles and uncles in the royal family, and the court officials have nothing to say, the Queen Mother will of course support your decision."
Nangong Huoyue narrowed her eyes, and was silent for a while, then said: "Mother, I have decided. It will be in the next two days. You tell them, and if anyone objects, let him come to me."
The Queen Mother frowned slightly and asked, "Who did you choose?"
Nangong Huoyue paused and said coldly, "The only disciple of the Lingxiao Sect's leader, Chu Feiyang."
