The seven days passed by in a blink of an eye. Looking at her lover who was about to leave, Dao Baifeng felt indescribable reluctance in her heart and her eyes became moist.
Murong Fu caressed the beauty's delicate face and sighed softly: "I'll see you again in a while!"
Nowadays, apart from promises, he really doesn't have much to offer the other party.
Dao Baifeng felt sad in her heart, knowing that it was not that Murong Fu didn't want to take her away, but that she was insisting and didn't want to leave with him. Looking at Murong Fu's retreating back, her heart instantly became Empty. ✷✼
After leaving Yuxu Temple with a slightly heavy heart, Murong Fu came to the south gate of Dali City.
I thought I would have to wait for a while, but unexpectedly Zhong Ling was waiting outside the city early in the morning. As soon as he saw him, he ran over happily.
Thinking of Dao Baifeng's instructions, Murong Fu looked at Zhong Ling and suddenly felt a headache.
"Brother Murong, you really keep your word!"
Zhong Ling came to Murong Fu's side and said with a smile.
"There are really not many young girls as bold as you in this world. Are you not afraid that I will sell you out?"
Seeing that she had no sense of boundaries with anyone, Murong Fu couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.
"You have such a great reputation. You wouldn't bully a little girl like me. I'm not afraid!"
Zhong Ling had a proud expression on his face, as if he was convinced.
Murong Fu had no choice but to take the white horse and prepare to leave.
Zhong Ling forgot to prepare the horse, so he screamed in surprise and wanted to go back to the city to buy a horse.
Murong Fu jumped on the horse, looked at her and said, "I never said I would wait for you to buy a horse. If you don't see me when you come back later, don't say I broke my word!"
"Ah, why is this..."
Zhong Ling had a bitter look on his face and thought to himself, he can't let himself run away!
Seeing her like this, Murong Fu felt funny in his heart and said in a frivolous tone: "Aren't you brave? I don't mind riding with you either."
When Zhong Ling heard this, she hesitated a little. After all, there were differences between men and women... But when she saw the jest in Murong Fu's eyes, she just said that she had been underestimated by him, and said with a hint of stubbornness in her tone: "I... I don't mind either. !”
After saying that, he took Murong Fu's extended hand and was pulled into his arms to sit down.
Seeing the other party's hands wrapping around his waist and holding the reins, with their chests and backs touching each other, and the strong manly scent coming from his vest, Zhong Ling still felt a little embarrassed, and his heart was beating wildly.
Murong Fu also didn't expect that this little girl's waist was so slender that he could hold it with one hand. He suppressed the throbbing in his heart, clamped his legs on the horse's belly, and galloped towards the distance.
The wind whistled rapidly, and the scene beside the road continued to move backwards. There was a jolt on the horse's back, which made the two of them skin to skin, giving them a vague feeling of alienation.
Zhong Ling's cheeks turned red, and her body suddenly felt a little soft. Gradually, she could only keep her balance by leaning her back against Murong Fu's arms.
Smelling the delicate fragrance coming from the girl's collar, Murong Fu felt a little distraught for a moment. Fortunately, he was also an old hand at flowers, so he was not unable to suppress the gun.
In this way, the two of them traveled overnight and arrived in Sichuan and Chongqing within a day.
Seeing that it was getting late, the two of them found an inn to stay.
For some unknown reason, Zhong Ling stopped mentioning the horse purchase. After entering the room, he threw himself on the bed with a blush on his face. His thoughts were up and down and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
As if she thought of something, she took out a small brocade box from her arms, opened it and saw that the thousand-year-old ice silkworm was inside.
She was not in a hurry to return it to Murong Fu. Thinking that the two of them had not separated yet, she planned to keep it for some time and then return it to him when they were really separated.
After a night's rest, the two of them had breakfast and left the area on horseback.
After several days of tossing and turning, the closer we got to the Tianshan Mountains in the Western Region, there was a significant difference in the cold and heat between day and night. Murong Fu had strong skills and was not affected, but Zhong Ling was unable to hold on due to his weak body.
Fortunately, Murong Fu always pumped internal energy into her body, so Zhong Ling wouldn't feel so uncomfortable.
Along the way, the two of them became inexplicably closer, and Zhong Ling's obsession with Duan Yu in his memory also faded a lot.
Murong Fu was not as cold and aloof as he seemed. Instead, he was witty and humorous. After getting to know him during this time, Zhong Ling also joked and joked with him a lot.
Occasionally, she would make a fuss about Murong Fu's white hair. Several times, Murong Fu was so angry that he wanted to cut off the gray locks.
But every time that time came, Zhong Ling tried his best to dissuade him, saying that he looked like this and had a melancholic temperament.
On this day, Zhong Ling couldn't stand the scorching heat anymore, so the two of them rested in a market town.
In the inn room, Murong Fu was doing his exercises cross-legged when he suddenly noticed something strange in the room next door. He hesitated and ignored it.
Zhong Ling quietly left the room, holding the brocade box in his hand, and after asking the store owner, he came to a medicine shop.
"Shopkeeper, I heard that you buy snow lotus here, is it true?"
When the shopkeeper saw her beauty and cuteness, he smiled and asked: "Girl, except for the snow lotus on Tianshan Mountain, we don't have any. We have plenty of snow lotus elsewhere. It depends on whether the girl has money!"
Zhong Ling immediately took out two palm-sized silver ingots from his arms and placed them on the table. He said generously: "Give me two of the best snow lotus plants in your store!"
The shopkeeper was also startled by her actions. When he learned that a big customer was coming, the look on his face became respectful.
"Wait a minute, girl. The shop just collected some fine snow lotus plants that are fifty years old. I'll bring them to the girl."
While he was talking, he had already turned around and entered the inner hall. At this time, a boy immediately served Zhong Ling with fruits and tea.
Not long after, the shopkeeper came out with two wooden boxes. When he opened them, he found two snow lotuses of excellent vintage inside.
Zhong Ling was well versed in medicinal materials and poisons, so he could naturally recognize the good from the bad. Seeing that the shopkeeper did not pass the goods off as good, he pushed the money to him and left with Xue Lian in his arms.
"Girl, walk slowly and remember to come back next time!"
The shopkeeper enthusiastically sent Zhong Ling out the door.
Zhong Ling hugged Xue Lian and got into an alley when no one was paying attention.
She picked off a leaf of the snow lotus, opened the brocade box containing the thousand-year-old ice silkworm, and put the snow lotus inside. Sure enough, she saw the ice silkworms squirming and eating the snow lotus.
"Little guy, I accidentally made you hungry during this period. Remember to eat more later!"
Zhong Ling was overjoyed and wanted to reach out and touch the ice silkworm's crystal-soft body, but she shrank back in fear.
Just as she was watching the thousand-year-old ice silkworm eating the snow lotus, a voice suddenly sounded from above her head.
"I didn't expect it to be a thousand-year-old ice silkworm. Little girl, would you like to sell this ice silkworm to me?"
