Narrow road meets by chance

  A layer of thin golden light rose from the horizon, like a drop of golden ink, splashing and dyeing the pure white Xuan paper, with colors changing and spreading from the center. The emerald leaves, a drop of crystal clear morning dew, rolled down in the gentle breeze.

  By the creek, a multitude of nameless wildflowers are in full bloom, their petals curled around dewdrops, shining brightly. The vibrant vitality of spring is flowing through the lush green grass that covers the riverbank.

  "Mingxuan, look! There's a small stream here!"

  Ruan Qin's voice was filled with delightful surprise, clear and gentle as water, lightly resonating and rising.

  After a night of rushing, the two have now penetrated deep into the belly of the Yunlan Mountains. With Lian Hua's speed like flowing light, it becomes increasingly difficult to track them down.

  Every time the full moon moves to the middle of the sky, Lan Mingxuan will lose all his supernatural powers and recover only when the second night's moon moves to the middle of the sky.

  This secret was unknown to anyone, and on every full moon day he would spend it in the temple. Only this time, for Ruan Qinchun, he risked leaving the temple, giving Yun Huang an opportunity to strike.

  However, he felt it was also pretty good to have such an opportunity to wander around in the mountains and waters with Ya Tou.

  Ruan Qinchun bent down, scooped up a handful of clear creek water, and simply washed her face. Along the way, she had been dusty and tired, but now she quietly listened to the sound of the creek flowing, and her heart suddenly calmed down.

  Sunlight filtered down from the leaves, overflowing with a rustic and natural atmosphere. Being in the arms of nature, that feeling is really great.

  Lan Mingxuan lazily leaned against an ancient giant tree, his gaze drifting onto her face like a cloud. Seeing the sweet smile floating at the corner of her lips, his heart softened involuntarily. The large, purple flower petals on the tree, like silk, were in full bloom, dancing in the wind, and the whole tree was flourishing.

  "Beyond the Yunlan Mountains lies Luoding City!"

  "What's wrong with Rakshasa City?"

  Ruan Qincheng took off her shoes and let her delicate feet, as white as jade, dangle in the water. She tilted her head slightly, and her long black hair slid down over her shoulders.

  "Luoying City is the fief of the War King! It's also a must-pass place to leave Yunyan Empire!"

  Lan Mingxuan looked at her with a smile that was not quite a smile, his low and gentle voice intoxicating and provocative to the extreme.

  "If you regret it, it's still not too late!"

  "I'm gone, he's just a passerby I've forgotten as soon as I turned around. What right does he have to spend his years with me till the end of the world? If you're interested in him, go dress up as a woman and offer yourself to him!"

  "Yes, I heard that the War King's mansion lost a treasure!"

  "So that's how it is! The baby must be very important then!"

  “……”

  Hearing the murmurs of the crowd, Ruan Qincheng became somewhat flustered. Yun Qianye was indeed a persistent ghost, with the war situation being critical on the front lines and him not going to reinforce, it seemed like he had ill intentions towards himself! Was it possible that they had a vendetta in their past lives?

  "Time to pay the bill!"

  Lan Jun's cool voice carried a hint of chill. If Yun Qianye continued to pester his sister, he would definitely make him know what regret was!

  "Goodbye, sir!"

  Ruan Qincheng stepped into the carriage, thinking of Yun Qianni's condescending expression, and her anger surged. Did he think that just because he had power and status, he could arbitrarily manipulate others' fates?

  Maybe others will resign themselves to their fate, but Ruan Qincheng absolutely won't give in!

  Absolutely not!

  Lan Mingxuan looked at her displeased expression and said lightly, "Girl, don't be annoyed! If you want to leave, no one can stop you! However, I'm very curious, the War King is a good husband that many ladies in the imperial capital dream of, why do you dislike him so much?"

  "That self-righteous guy doesn't take women seriously at all! He's just a bucket of water, poured into your rice pile. After a few years, the clear water turns into fragrant wine, while you become a heap of rotten and discarded rice. Not useless yet, can still be used to feed pigs."

  Ruan Qinchun gritted her teeth and said that she didn't care about men who treated women as appendages.

  "Pffft!"

  Lan Mingxuan heard her words and immediately spat out the water he had just taken into his mouth. Did this little girl dare to be even more outrageous?

  "Master stick, you also think what I said makes a lot of sense, right?"

  Ruan Qincheng patted his back and couldn't help but laugh at how his face had turned red from being choked.

  "Yes, what you said makes sense! What's right is right, and what's wrong is still right!"

  Lan Mingxuan saw her stifling a smile, helplessly shaking his head, and the doting words completely stunned Lian Hua who was resting on the pillow.

  Heavens! Earth! Is this really one's own master?

  That's too fake, it can't be true!

  How could the master say such an unreasonable thing!

  Still dreaming!

  The carriage suddenly jolted violently just as Lian Huan was hesitating and poking at it with his paws.

  "The horse-drawn carriage in front has stopped!"

  A sudden, cold shout pierced the air, drawing Ruan Qindeng's attention away. She lifted a corner of the carriage window with her slender hand and was shocked to see Mo Jian, at the head of the Blood Clothes Guards, standing outside the carriage.
