Next to the small lake outside Sifang City, there is a valley. In the depth of winter, it is already covered with silver. However, the green lake in the middle still has sparkling waves and has not been frozen. If we trace the source Up there, there must be a hot spring.
Gu Li sat on the crooked tree, hanging her legs down, and suddenly remembered the place where Yun Yi fell that day. At that time, she thought because he was the prince of the Yun clan, and she would be in big trouble if he died. , or because he is just Yun Yi, and I have some unspeakable emotions for him in my heart.
"This is a beautiful place, but there are many places like this in the Yun Clan. Do you like it?" A voice suddenly sounded, and Gu Li moved and almost fell from the tree.
A figure floated up like a leaf, hugged Gu Li's waist, and asked her with a smile. The woman in front of her was wearing a bright red dress, which made her skin even more like jade. In the middle of this silver world, she was wearing a red dress. , like a red plum blossom in full bloom, it is the most noble pride, left behind and independent.
"Why are you here?" Gu Li was a little curious, her originally dull expression became vivid with her smile, "Shouldn't you be recuperating at Yunjin Villa?"
"I received news from the clan that I should return to the clan immediately." Yun Yi let go of Gu Li's waist and looked at Gu Li with gentle eyes.
"Oh, the Kingdom of Clouds? I heard that it is a beautiful place. Are you going back?" When Gu Li faced Yun Yi again, she was no longer as cold as before. Facing the current Yun Yi, she really couldn't be like him I was so repulsive before.
"Yes, let me tell you, it's beautiful there, and most importantly, the spiritual energy is extremely rich. Do you... do you want to go back with me?" Yun Yi asked cautiously, as if he was afraid of disturbing a forest bird. Xiaolu, "You can go as my honored guest, I guarantee that no one will dare to look down on you."
"I dare not trouble His Highness the Crown Prince. I think if I go there as an ordinary person, I might be able to save myself some trouble." Gu Li smiled, her brows raised, and her eyes filled with smiles. She walked along the stream. As she flowed up, her waist was slender and soft, the corners of her skirt were flying, and the begonias on the skirt bloomed under her feet. The snow under her feet was as white as clouds. Every step she took was like walking on the clouds.
"As long as you like it, you can come in any capacity. I welcome you." Yun Yi hurriedly followed, with a little relieved smile on his face. He felt that Gu Li seemed to have changed today. As a person, the whole person becomes simple, as if she is just a little girl who wants to travel far away.
It's just... There was a hint of darkness in Yun Yi's eyes, and the raised corners of his mouth were slightly lowered. It's just such a simple wish, but I'm afraid it's not easy to satisfy. It would be okay if she was just the Gu Li he just met, but she With divine roots, her destiny will never be simple from now on.
"I went here just to avoid you as an ordinary person. You'd better not accompany me. Otherwise, I won't be able to bear the presence of more women like Yun Jinse." Gu Li smiled and shook his head, then looked up. As soon as my eyes lit up, there was a small lake in front of me. The water in the lake was steaming. When you put your hand in, it turned out to be warm.
"There is actually a hot spring here!" Gu Li said in surprise. As soon as she finished speaking, she had already taken off her coat and plunged into the water like a swimming fish. She wanted to swim.
"How about a swimming competition without spiritual power?" Before Yun Yi could say anything, he saw Gu Li like a red goldfish in the water, swinging her flower-like skirt, and invited him, "Let's see who can swim to the other side. Then swim back as fast as you can.”
When Yun Yi saw that wet and delicate face, he suddenly didn't want to spoil her interest. He raised a warm voice, full of joy: "Okay, don't cry if you lose!"
Suddenly the two people were chasing each other like fish in the water. The fish in the water looked at the two people with some curiosity, but Yun Yi deliberately swam side by side with Gu Li. He originally thought that it would be easy to win against Gu Li, but when He was a little shocked when he found that his speed could no longer be faster than Gu Li's. Without the addition of spiritual power, he was not even Gu Li's opponent.
Watching the girl happily swimming in the water, her face was steamed by the heat, and her face was flushed. The two of them returned to the shore one after another. Gu Li soaked herself in the water with some comfort, watching the gradually darkening sky. , and have no intention of going back.
Yun Yi suddenly had the idea of teasing her. When he returned to the shore, he suddenly grabbed the corner of her clothes and pulled her down suddenly. However, Gu Li reacted very quickly. His best friend flashed in his hand, and the clothes The horn was cut directly, and then she jumped out of the water. She was still in mid-air when a suction force came out of her palm. She had already wrapped herself in a robe, and then looked into the water with cold eyes.
Yun Yi, who had just emerged from the water, paused for a moment. Looking at Gu Li, who was relaxed just now, but now like a small animal alerted to danger, his voice couldn't help softening: "The past things are in the past. You are safe around me, Li'er, relax. I will protect you."
"I will protect you." Gu Li couldn't react when she heard this sentence at first. When she understood what it meant, the softest part of her heart was suddenly touched, because in her previous life, there was no one. Someone once said something like this to him. People are always strange. The more they don't have it, the more they want it.
Even Gu Li wanted to do it almost instinctively, but she held it back and said coldly: "You won't always protect me. If I had even the slightest bit of relaxation, I wouldn't be alive until now."
"What is past is past. You are Gu Li, the youngest daughter of the Gu family. You should be loved by all..." Yun Yi almost murmured.
"You..." Gu Li was slightly startled, almost thinking that Yun Yi knew that she had traveled through time.
"Yes, haven't you been tense in the general's residence? There's no need for it now." Yun Yi also jumped out of the water. His white coat was completely dry the moment he came out of the water, and then she faced Gu Li waved her hand, and a cloud of water vapor rose from Gu Li's body. Gu Li felt that her clothes were completely dry in an instant.
"Thank you." Gu Li breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed a lot. It turned out that Yun Yi meant this. She almost thought that he knew her identity during her lifetime. Although she knew that Yun Yi would not hurt her, there was no guarantee that he knew about her. After learning his true identity, he still likes himself so much.
Uh... Is she protecting his love for her? Impossible, absolutely impossible, she just doesn't want people to know that she is different. It's better to do less than to do more.
"Li'er, come with me to the Yun Clan, I will give you the best cultivation resources and the safest protection." Yun Yi suddenly whispered seriously, his voice was low, hoarse and moist, inexplicably, Gu Li was listening in the middle It sounded like a request.
Gu Li's heart moved and she said calmly: "Going to the Yun Clan? In what capacity do you go to the Yun Clan? Is it your maid?"
"You can go to the Yun Clan in any capacity you want. You can go as my honored guest, as my friend, if you want, you can also go as the future crown princess. If you don't want to be the future crown princess, Then I don't have to be the prince." Yun Yi's voice was still very soft, but his tone was extremely firm, "You believe me, I can protect you."
Gu Li opened her eyes suddenly. She looked at Yun Yi, as if she wanted to see a trace of flaw on his face, but there was none. After a moment, she raised her eyebrows and said, "Are you willing to give up your position as Crown Prince for me?" ?”
"Okay." Almost as soon as Gu Li's words fell, Yun Yi nodded. Without any hesitation, he turned his head and looked at Gu Li. There were thousands of colors in his eyes, and every color was Gu Li's. Glass.
"So, what about Yun Jinse? Isn't she your fiancée?" Gu Li smiled faintly.
"You trust me, I can deal with her, and I promise I won't let her hurt you at all."
"Haha, even though you say this, I will not hinder you from becoming the crown prince. One day, you will become the emperor of the Kingdom of Clouds. One day, you will also have a harem of three thousand beauties." Gu Li lowered his head slightly. , the voice was also very low, "I am a person who can't tolerate sand in my eyes. Not to mention the three thousand beauties in the harem, I don't feel comfortable even if there is one more person. What's more, since ancient times, kings have been so ruthless, and I don't like the emperor."
"Then I won't be the prince. When I am no longer the prince, the saint will not marry me. Let's travel to various major countries together, be free and carefree, and be a couple for the rest of our lives. Li'er, I..." Without even thinking about it, Yun Yi told him all about his imagined future and said happily.
However, before he could finish speaking, a very thin sword suddenly stabbed at Gu Li's critical points. The swordsmanship was extremely clever, and it was a one-hit kill move.
Although Gu Li was listening to Yun Yi's speech, he was always alert to the movements around him. Although Yun Yi was also very alert, he was confessing his love at this time, but he did not notice the killer hidden and slowly approaching around the two of them.
Gu Li didn't say anything nonsense. His watery eyes were as cold as ice for a moment. With a flick of his wrist, his best friend came out and knocked the sword away hard.
Yun Yi also reacted instantly, stretched out his hand to fish it out, picked up Gu Li and avoided the second murderous attack. At the same time, a black shadow flew out from his sleeve, and the shadow changed shape in mid-air, with a cold feeling. The murderous aura struck the figure who took action like lightning.
Yun Yi looked around and saw that it was indeed Yun Jinse. This woman who he scolded away last time actually followed her again this time. It seemed that her hatred for Gu Li was deep in her bones. If she didn't kill Gu Li, she wouldn't. I will give up and give up.
At the same time, Gu Li's best friend also flew back. The gears were still stained with blood. They were not Yun Jinse's. There was indeed someone hiding in the dark.
"Brother Yi, do you really want to protect this woman?" Seeing that his sneak attack failed, Yun Jinse was so angry that he stamped his feet and glared at Gu Li like a poisonous snake.
