daughter……
These two words spat out from the woman's red lips, stained with the bitterness of hazy memories, and Li Nanke couldn't help but feel a sense of trance.
He almost forgot that he once "had" a daughter.
He and the eldest princess fell into a dream of a peach blossom garden, forgetting their true identities and pretending to be a strange couple.
They have gone through their lives, from acquaintance, love to separation.
During this time they had a daughter.
The family of three lived happily, but their daughter died of illness when she grew up, which became a painful memory that the couple could not erase.
What's your daughter's name?
Li Nanke thought hard and tried hard to recall the appearance of his daughter in the dream of Peach Blossom Spring.
But I can never remember her appearance.
Because since birth, my daughter's face has been shrouded in a fog.
But the name...
While thinking hard, Li Nanke suddenly felt countless needles pricking his brain, awakening a very strong and sharp pain.
It was like a scarred wound being burned by a red-hot iron.
He quickly calmed down his thoughts and calmed down.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing the man's ugly face and cold sweat on his forehead, Bai Ruyue asked with concern, "Is it uncomfortable to ride on the boat?"
Li Nanke shook his head and forced a smile, "I feel so scared when I think about being beheaded."
The woman smiled, wiped the man's sweat with a handkerchief, and said softly: "Don't worry, I will save you no matter what."
…
Late at night, everything is silent.
The boat on the river is still sailing quietly.
The moonlight is soft, falling into the water like broken silk, and the ripples of water are like a shimmering rippled fabric, giving people comfort.
Li Nanke ate something casually and fell asleep.
He slept in a cabin far away from the princess.
Although the two are close, they are far from sleeping together.
Considering that this guy was very lustful, Bai Ruyue simply stayed away to avoid sneaking up in the middle of the night.
Li Nanke enters the wedding room in the world of Red Rain.
Princess Shanyun is still practicing.
Helan Xiaoxiao also fell asleep lying on the table out of boredom.
Since he came back last time, the other party also came back with him, which made Li Nanke less worried, fearing that the other party was still trapped there.
Seeing the red rain outside the window, Li Nanke exited the wedding room and went to bed directly.
I don't know if Princess Bai Ri's words had an impact on him. Li Nanke had a rare dream, dreaming about those days in the Peach Blossom Garden of Phoenix Mountain.
He once again played the role of a stranger, recalling that simple, romantic but miserable life.
"Daddy..."
My daughter's gentle calls were sometimes far away and sometimes close.
The sound was like a soft cloth, wiping away the fog on the hazy memory lenses, but there was still a deep darkness behind the lenses.
In the dream, Li Nanke and his wife were sitting quietly by the blue and clear lake, with their daughter in the middle.
This kind of picture has been imprinted on many pictures.
Until one day the daughter disappeared, leaving only the couple.
Finally, the figure of the wife gradually faded away, and there was only the figure of an old and lonely man sitting quietly by the lake, full of life.
"A dream comes to life..."
The old man sighed softly.
The lake surface began to become still, and the flowing water patterns did not move, as if someone pressed the snap button to freeze the moment.
The old man's back gradually became dull and turned into a pitch-black vortex.
The whirlpool continued to expand, swallowing up the huge lake and the peach trees in the garden... Even Li Nanke felt that his soul was being swallowed and pulled.
Li Nanke struggled desperately, but to no avail.
"Daddy!"
The daughter's voice suddenly sounded again.
It was like shouting in someone's ear, suddenly waking up Li Nanke from his deep sleep.
Li Nanke panted and looked around, finding himself in the cabin compartment. The oil lamp on the table was still on, illuminating the small space dimly.
The sound of water outside the cabin can be clearly heard, as well as the sound of the guards talking.
"Strange, how could I have such a dream?"
After regaining his composure, Li Nanke let out a heavy breath. The clothes on his back were soaked and sticking to his back was particularly uncomfortable.
Feeling a little thirsty, he sat up and went to get the water glass on the table.
Suddenly the ship's hull shook.
Li Nanke staggered and almost fell to the ground, and quickly held on to the table. At this time, there were noisy sounds outside, including the sounds of weapons clashing and the guards shouting angrily.
What's wrong?
Li Nanke was surprised.
He put on his coat and walked out of the house, and was shocked by the sight in front of him.
I saw a fire burning in the cabin, and a group of men in black were fighting with the princess's guards. The maids were scrambling to escape. The cabin on the other side was even filled with water, and the hull was tilting.
"Protect the princess!"
"Someone wants to assassinate the princess!"
"..."
The guards kept shouting.
Li Nanke was shocked and rushed to the princess's room.
But because there was a fire in the middle, Li Nanke couldn't get close at all. Hearing the sound of fighting coming from over there, he anxiously took out a bottle of Red Rain and drank it down, activating the time pause.
The shouts of fighting stopped instantly, and the blazing flames froze in a twisted posture.
Li Nanke stepped on the solidified flames and stepped over.
Before they arrived at the room where the princess lived, they saw several men in black fighting with the princess's female bodyguards, while Bai Ruyue was being protected behind him.
Although the woman looks a little embarrassed, she still retains her royal dignity.
Facing the assassin, he showed no fear and was extremely calm, but his Bingmei eyes were cast in the direction where Li Nanke lived, with deep worry.
Moreover, Li Nanke noticed that the other party could find a way to escape from another direction, but at this moment, he was moving in the opposite direction, obviously because he was worried about him.
This silly woman!
The man cursed secretly in his mind and poured the red rain energy into his palm.
As the dragon-shaped brand emits soft white light, white halos appear on the men in black. The locations vary, either on the neck, or on the waist and abdomen...
Uh-huh!
Li Nanke drew his sword and slashed towards the aperture.
The blade fell gently like cutting tofu, releasing the coldest killing intent in the gentlest way.
Soon the time pause ends.
Li Nanke returned to where he was just now, and the flame in front of him continued to burn, making a crackling sound.
On the other side, the injured female guard was trying her best to block the attack of the man in black in front of her. Even though she was very powerful, it was quite difficult to face the attacks of many masters.
While she was anxious, a splash of blood suddenly splashed onto her body.
Screams sounded one after another.
The female guard was startled, and she saw blood spurting out from the neck of one of the men in black who was attacking fiercely. The companion next to him had blood marks on his abdomen, and the other man's thighs were all severed... almost in an instant.
The female guard was dumbfounded and stood there at a loss.
What the hell?
"It's Li Nanke!" After the eldest princess came to her senses, who was also shocked, she immediately thought that Li Nanke was helping her, and her pretty face was filled with surprise.
At this moment, a large net suddenly fell from the sky and enveloped Bai Ruyue.
