Cai Ling's eyes widened and she looked at Li Lingyun curiously, "Is today a festival?"
Li Lingyun smiled and replied, "Today is the Lantern Festival in Weir City."
Cai Ling's eyes shone with excitement as she imagined the night in Vail City, with colorful lights hanging in every corner and a festive atmosphere permeating the streets. Li Lingyun took Cai Ling's hand, and the two walked under the moonlight toward the bright city of Weir.
Cai Ling suddenly felt a little warm in the palm of her hand. She looked down at the hand held tightly by Li Lingyun and asked shyly: "You, why do you want to hold my hand?"
Li Lingyun looked at Cai Ling's crimson cheeks and couldn't help but feel a little funny. He smiled softly and joked: "I didn't expect our noble queen to be shy."
Cai Ling's face turned redder, and she wanted to withdraw her hand with some embarrassment, but Li Lingyun held it tighter. He smiled and shook his head, "Don't be shy, Cai Ling. Today is the Lantern Festival, the busiest day in Vail City. Let's hold hands and walk on the streets together to feel the festive atmosphere, shall we?"
After Cai Ling heard this, a warm current surged in her heart. She held Li Lingyun's hand tightly, as if she had found support. The two of them strolled along the lively streets, surrounded by colorful lights and people talking and laughing loudly. They walked past each stall, looked at the various colorful lights and ornaments, and felt the joy and warmth of this festival. Cai Ling couldn't help but be intoxicated in this beautiful atmosphere. She shared this happiness with Li Lingyun and seemed to have forgotten all her troubles and sorrows. At this moment, they were just like ordinary lovers, immersed in the beautiful city of Vail, enjoying their holiday.
They strolled down the street together, and the light of the colored lights reflected on Cai Ling's face, making her look even more beautiful. Li Lingyun asked softly: "Cailing, what is your dream?"
Cai Ling was silent for a moment, looking at the night sky in the distance, and said slowly: "My dream is to protect my people." Her voice was full of determination and tenderness.
After hearing this, Li Lingyun couldn't help being shocked. He looked into Cai Ling's powerful eyes and felt the firmness and persistence in her heart. He knew that this was a brave and beautiful dream, but also a mission that required tremendous effort and sacrifice.
Li Lingyun looked at Cai Ling affectionately, his eyes shining with blazing light. He spoke slowly, his voice gentle but firm, "My dear Queen, my dream is to protect everything I love."
Cailing was deeply moved by Li Lingyun's words, and she felt the fiery emotions in Li Lingyun's heart. She asked tentatively: "Then who is the person you love?"
Li Lingyun looked at Cai Ling with a smile, she was the only one in his eyes. He said softly: "It's you, Cai Ling. You are the light in my heart and the most important person in my life. I want to use my power to protect your dreams, protect your people, and make your world Full of light and hope.”
After Cai Ling heard this, a warm current surged in her heart. She looked into Li Lingyun's eyes. Those deep and hot eyes were full of sincerity and love. She couldn't help but ask: "Why do you love me, Ling Yun?"
Li Lingyun smiled, with a hint of tenderness and mystery in his eyes, "From the moment we met in the desert, I got an orb. That orb told me that it would lead me to find my partner. And when I first The first time I saw you, I felt that strong resonance. I know that you are the one who resonates with this orb, and you are the one I am looking for."
After hearing this, Cai Ling couldn't help but feel ripples in her heart. She took out her orb from the ring. It was a crystal clear ball that seemed to contain a mysterious power inside. She gently handed the orb to Li Lingyun and said with a smile: "The person who can resonate with this orb is also you, Lingyun."
Li Lingyun took the orb and felt the familiar resonance. His heart could not help but beat faster, and his eyes shone with excitement. He held the orb tightly, as if at this moment, the connection between him and Cailing was even closer.
The two of them stared at each other, with only each other in their eyes. The world around them seemed to become quiet, leaving only the two of them and the shining orb.
Li Lingyun held Cai Ling's hands affectionately and looked at her firmly.
"I will protect you and the Ancient Dragon Clan with my life." His voice was sonorous and powerful, full of determination and persistence.
Cai Ling felt the warmth of Li Lingyun's palm, which was a warm and reassuring feeling. She knew that with such a man by her side, no matter how many difficulties and challenges lay ahead, they would be able to face and overcome them together.
The two smiled at each other under the moonlight, and then hugged each other tightly. Their figures, illuminated by the bright lights, seemed to have become the most beautiful scenery in this beautiful city of Vail. At this moment, their hearts are closer to each other, and their fates are closely connected.
Then Li Lingyun took Cai Ling's hand and walked in the lively market. Colorful lanterns decorated the entire market like a dream, stalls were filled with all kinds of goods, and people laughed and laughed one after another. They walked past the fragrant food stalls, tasting the unique delicacies of Vail City, and walked past the dazzling array of jewelry stalls, selecting exquisite jewelry and souvenirs. Cailing touched this and looked at that curiously, with a happy smile on her face. Li Lingyun looked at her fondly and explained to her the origins and uses of various products from time to time.
They came to the center of the city, where there was a towering lighthouse, with a dazzling light shining on the top of the tower. Li Lingyun and Cai Ling boarded the lighthouse and overlooked the entire city of Weir. The colorful lanterns are like stars, reflecting the whole city poetically and picturesquely. They looked at each other and smiled, as if at this moment, the whole world belonged to the two of them. Cai Ling nestled on Li Lingyun's shoulder, feeling his warmth and protection. Li Lingyun held Cai Ling's hand tightly and made an eternal vow: "No matter what the future holds, I will be by your side and spend every beautiful moment with you."
Then, Li Lingyun took out the dazzling dagger of the Golden Fire Mark from the ring and gently handed it to Cai Ling.
Cailing exclaimed, she had never seen such a beautiful and mysterious weapon. The trace of golden fire seemed to be alive, emitting a blazing light that made it impossible to look directly at it. When Cailing took the dagger, she felt a powerful energy flowing through her body, as if it resonated with the dagger in some way.
"This is my ancestral possession, and now I give it to you." Li Lingyun said affectionately, "May it accompany you and protect your peace and strength."
Cai Ling was impressed by Li Lingyun's sincerity and trust. She held the Golden Fire Trace tightly and felt a surge of gratitude in her heart. She knew that this dagger would become her right-hand man in future battles and a testimony to the deep relationship between her and Li Lingyun.
The moonlight gently shone on Cai Ling's body, giving her jade-like skin a silvery sheen. Her eyes looked even brighter in the moonlight, as if they contained endless wisdom and charm. Li Lingyun couldn't help but be fascinated by her. He gently stroked Cai Ling's cheek, and his fingertips slid across her delicate skin, as if he could feel the gentleness and tenacity in her heart. Cai Ling closed her eyes and enjoyed this rare warm moment. Her heartbeat matched Li Lingyun's rhythm, and the two intertwined into a beautiful picture under the moonlight. At this moment, time seemed to stand still. Only the two of them and the bright moon became the most beautiful scenery in the world.
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from a distance, breaking the moment of tranquility. Li Lingyun and Cai Ling looked for the reputation and found that it was Duanmu Gushang and Yunying's group.
Duanmu Gushang was wearing a green shirt and had an elegant demeanor. He smiled and waved to Li Lingyun. Yunying, on the other hand, has a heroic appearance. She is riding a white war horse, holding a spear, and is majestic. Several other teammates also greeted them with friendly smiles on their faces.
Li Lingyun felt warm in his heart. He didn't expect to meet an old friend here. He waved his hand and walked towards Duanmu Gushang and others. Cai Ling followed closely behind, curiously looking at these characters that she had heard about from Li Lingyun.
Duanmu Gushang and others sat around under the lighthouse, and everyone talked about the Reiki Competition that year. Li Lingyun and Cai Ling also joined in to recall those exciting moments.
Duanmu Gushang smiled and said: "In that competition that year, Ling Yun, you were so brilliant! You defeated many powerful enemies with one move and finally won the championship."
Li Lingyun smiled and said modestly: "That's all in the past, not worth mentioning."
"Haha, don't be modest." Yunying patted Li Lingyun on the shoulder generously, "Lingyun, do you still remember the battle with Bai Mufei in the finals? That scene was really thrilling!"
Just as everyone was discussing vigorously, Yunying discovered Cai Ling next to Li Lingyun. Her eyes lit up and she asked curiously: "Ling Yun, who is this beautiful lady?" Cai Ling blushed when she heard Yun Ying's words. She lowered her head shyly and whispered: "My name is Cai Ling, and I am Ling Yun's friend." Li Lingyun looked at Cai Ling's shy look, and couldn't help but feel a warm current in her heart. He smiled and introduced: "Cailing, these are my friends Yunying and Duanmu Gushang, and other teammates." Cailing raised her head and greeted everyone politely. She found that Duanmu Gushang's eyes showed a friendly light, while Yunying looked amiable. At this moment, Cai Ling felt that she had integrated into this warm group.
Yunying, as a keen warrior, noticed the distinctive aura of Cai Ling. She was secretly surprised, but she didn't show it on her face. She knew that Li Lingyun's friends must not be ordinary people.
Yunying smiled gently and said in the tone of a big sister: "Sister Cailing, don't be shy. We are all friends of Ling Yun, and this is like a big family. If you need help, just ask."
Cai Ling raised her head, her eyes shining with gratitude. She felt Yunying's sincerity and kindness, and the shyness in her heart eased slightly.
Li Lingyun also noticed the changes in Cai Ling. He gently held Cai Ling's hand and whispered: "Cai Ling, they are the friends I met at the Reiki Competition and they are also my confidants. You don't need to be shy, we It’s all a family.”
Cai Ling looked carefully at Yun Ying, the eldest princess of the Zeyun Empire, who had a noble temperament but was friendly at the same time. Her brows showed the innate royal majesty, but her bright eyes shone with a warm light, which seemed to melt the coldness in people's hearts. Cailing couldn't help but sigh that the eldest princess was not only beautiful, but also had an admirable temperament.
Duanmu Gushang, on the other hand, has a completely different style. The calmness and restraint exuded from his body made Cai Ling feel the demeanor of an immortal cultivator. His eyes are deep, as if he can see into people's hearts, but they are also full of compassion and wisdom. Cai Ling knew that this was an immortal cultivator with profound cultivation and life wisdom.
Amid the laughter and laughter of everyone, Cai Ling gradually relaxed her mood. She began to integrate into this warm group and shared each other's stories and experiences with everyone. Li Lingyun, Yunying and others were also infected by Cai Ling's enthusiasm and sincerity. They asked her about the customs of the Gulong tribe and her experience in the human world.
While everyone was chatting animatedly, Duanmu Gushang suddenly noticed a pair of exquisite dragon-shaped earrings on Cai Ling's ears. His eyes changed slightly, and he was thoughtful. Cailing noticed something strange about Duanmu Gushang, she subconsciously touched her earrings, and then quickly covered up her gaffe.
Duanmu Gushang understood, and he changed the subject calmly. Everyone continued to chat, but Cai Ling felt a little uneasy. She knew that her identity had aroused Duanmu Gushang's suspicion. In order not to reveal her identity, she decided to hide the secret that she was the queen of the ancient dragon tribe. She knew very well that once this secret was revealed, it would not only bring danger to herself, but also put Li Lingyun and others in trouble. Therefore, in the following chat, Cai Ling carefully avoided topics related to the ancient dragon clan and only talked about other interesting things.
After returning to her residence, Cai Ling still felt a little uneasy. She was worried that Duanmu Gushang had discovered her identity. At the same time, she also realized that she had developed a deep dependence and attachment to this warm group. Li Lingyun seemed to see what Cai Ling was worried about. He patted her shoulder gently and comforted her: "Cai Ling, don't worry, the friends here are all trustworthy people."
As night fell, Cai Ling tossed and turned on the warm bed, unable to fall asleep. She was worried about Caiyun's condition and worried about whether her identity had been discovered by Duanmu Gushang. Just when she was thinking a lot, she suddenly felt a warm breath. She opened her eyes and found Li Lingyun sitting by the bed, watching her silently.
"Cailing, aren't you asleep yet?" Li Lingyun asked softly.
Cai Ling nodded, her voice slightly hoarse: "I'm thinking about something."
Li Lingyun gently stroked Cai Ling's hair and said softly: "I know what you are worried about. You should have a good rest first and recuperate. Tomorrow we will set off to Qingyun Sect to find a cure for Caiyun's condition."
Cailing looked at Li Lingyun in surprise: "Shouldn't we report to the Reiki Academy first?" Li Lingyun sighed softly and explained: "I have an old friend in the Qingyun Sect. She is a cultivator with superb medical skills. I want to first I'll take you to see her to see if she can cure Caiyun's condition." Cai Ling heard that Li Lingyun had friends in Qingyun Sect, and couldn't help but feel a warm current in her heart. She looked at Li Lingyun gratefully, with sparkling tears in her eyes: "Thank you, Li Lingyun. You are my best friend." Li Lingyun smiled slightly and gently wiped away the tears from the corner of Cai Ling's eyes: "Fools, we are all Family. Get some rest, we have to travel tomorrow." After that, he left the room quietly. Cailing lay on the warm bed, her heart filled with gratitude and hope. She prayed silently, hoping that the immortal cultivators from Qingyun Sect could cure Caiyun's illness.
