Shen Yanchu stood on the top of the blue brick wall, his long gown fluttering about to come out of the dust.
Snowflakes were flying all over the sky and falling on him, which reminded people of the poem of plum blossoms falling on branches.
No, the poets and talents on the street stretched out their necks, and some even wrote vigorously, adding more masterpieces to the ancient and modern literary circles.
Liu Ruyan also raised her head, a bit of coldness fell on her face, and her eyelashes were stained with a layer of ice and snow.
"Snowing?"
She was afraid of the cold, and if it were normal times, she would hold a hand stove to keep warm.
Liu Ruyan frowned and stared at her. Opposite her, Shen Yanchu was also looking at her from across the street.
The husband of the Liu family has exquisite facial features, and his eyebrows are stretched and he looks heroic.
Especially those eyes, which are as cool as autumn water, and when seen up close, they seem to be unfathomable. Under the nose, the lips are red and full, as if they were born with a curvature, making them look free and uninhibited.
This appearance is truly worthy of the phrase "face as powdered and as beautiful as a woman".
But he never imagined that not long ago, the boy he regarded as an embroidered pillow almost killed him.
It’s true that people can’t be judged by their appearance!
Shen Yanchu's eyes narrowed dangerously, but at the moment he took action, Liu Ruyan moved again, bypassing him and running towards the end of the street.
"Still trying to escape." He followed closely.
It's not nonsense. Could it be that she can't be captured just waiting for help?
"Yexun, search for nearby hiding places." Liu Ruyan asked the system.
"Received." Ye Xun turned on the navigation function, "Yes, there is a forest on the outskirts of the city in the west. It is easy for ordinary people to get lost."
"Okay, let's go there." She used the light body technique to the extreme, leaving only an afterimage wherever she passed. It could be said that the wind passed by silently, and the snow passed without a trace.
It snowed suddenly, and all pedestrians held umbrellas.
Suddenly a gust of breeze blew by, and the umbrella surface seemed to shake.
When he looked up, he only saw a shadow of the corner of his clothes.
Then another hurricane blew by, rolling up countless snowflakes, and the oil-paper umbrella was almost blown away by the wind.
Pedestrians struggled to hold on to the umbrella ribs, squinting their eyes and vaguely seeing a shadow flashing in the wind.
Blinking again, the figure disappeared again.
Liu Ruyan tapped her toes and flew up from the umbrella. Behind her, Shen Yanchu chased her all the way down nine streets!!!
"If the host persists, we will reach the woods soon." Ye Xun couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.
He zoomed in on the map and could see that the destination was getting closer.
"We're here!" He promptly reminded, operating the settings with his finger, and various road signs appeared immediately.
I don't know who created this forest, and it was guarded on the west side of the city suburbs. If it were normal times, pedestrians would rather spend more time taking a long detour than step into the forest.
She fled deep into the trees, and before the opponent caught up with her, she jumped up onto a big tree and hid her figure.
This is a cedar tree, which is very common in the northwest. Even in the severe winter, it still has lush branches and leaves, is covered in silver, and is covered with layers of snow.
She held her breath and hibernated in the tree, watching the other person approach step by step through the silver-needle leaves, leaving no trace of where he passed.
Shen Yanchu stood in the forest thoughtfully, and glanced at the cedar where she was hiding, which immediately made her hair run cold and she almost breathed out.
Fortunately, he turned around and left after taking a glance at the cedar.
She exhaled a white breath and said to Ye Xun secretly: "This devil's eyes are vicious. No matter how well you hide yourself, there seems to be no way to hide in front of him."
She had felt this way in her previous life. At that time, in order to find clues, she secretly approached Shen Yanchu, but no matter how calm she acted, there was always something indescribably weird about the way he looked at people.
She squatted on a branch and was distracted. Unexpectedly, a strong wind blew behind her, and she fell uncontrollably.
At the end of the line of sight, there was Shen Yanchu standing under the tree at some point.
Despicable, play sneak attack with me.
Shen Yanchu grabbed her neck with one hand and frowned, feeling that it was so delicate that it could be broken with just a little effort.
Seeing that she couldn't breathe, Shen Yanchu let go of his hand and held her collar instead.
As soon as Liu Ruyan regained her composure, she put on a flattering expression and wailed sadly: "My hero, spare my life!"
Ye Xun: "..."
Shen Yanchu sneered: "Come forward——"
"Young man serves his country loyally. If there was any quarrel before, it was definitely a misunderstanding. I have a lot of heroes, and I will never argue with you."
She said it sincerely, and she had learned the trick of hunting for a dog's leg at night.
A certain system just wants to cover its face. The heroine of this drama is beautiful, domineering, calm and restrained. Host, do you know that your personality is broken?
"I am not a hero." Shen Yanchu said calmly, "And you are by no means a kind person. When it comes to being ruthless, Mr. Lang does not hesitate to give in."
Liu Ruyan quickly shook her head: "You're welcome to be polite. If you look around the world, you can't find anyone more ruthless than the Lord. I'm not even qualified to carry your shoes."
Shen Yanchu narrowed his eyes, and even the mask could not block the anger in his eyes.
Could it be that I combed the wrong hair?
She quickly changed her words: "Actually, everyone is working in their own way. We usually don't interfere with each other, so there is no need to go to war, right?"
Seeing that he didn't answer, Liu Ruyan continued: "The iron box you are looking for is not in my hand, so there is no point in catching me now."
"Oh?" Shen Yanchu murmured, leaning over to look at her, "Of course I know that the iron box is not on you, but it doesn't matter, I have sent someone to chase that Uncle Quan."
Liu Ruyan's heart was shaken, but her face was calm and composed. The corners of her lips were slightly raised, and there was a smile in her eyes.
"Your Majesty, your guess was wrong. There is no iron box at Uncle Quan's place."
After saying that, she moved her fingers slightly, and a cold light caught on her fingertips, piercing the sky.
Shen Yanchu made a slight mistake in his steps to avoid its sharp edge. He still held her collar tightly with his right hand and only used his left hand to block it.
The two of them remained motionless, their sleeves flying as they passed several moves.
With a soft sound, the silver ring on Liu Ruyan's hand fell into the snow.
Her fingers were almost cut off by the other party.
"Since I want to take you back, I don't want to use such a hidden weapon." Shen Yanchu said coldly, sealing several of Liu Ruyan's key points, then squatted down, picked up the ring, and played with it in the palm of his hand. .
The silver ring is exquisitely made, with a spider embellished on the top. When the spider is thrown into the sky, a thin silver thread will be pulled out from the end.
Shen Yanchu put the ring in his arms and picked up someone who couldn't move.
"I told you that it's useless to catch me. Do you, the devil, understand human language?" Liu Ruyan stood on his shoulder like a green onion, her tone was naughty, but she was not as soft and obedient as before.
A certain demon spoke quietly, scanning his prey with a sinister gaze: "I haven't made a puppet for a long time, so I'll make do with it for now."
"You're such an expert at refining, why don't you go to refining elixirs?"
Shen Yanchu paused and seemed to think seriously for a moment: "I don't know how to make elixirs."
Liu Ruyan: "..."
She cursed a few more times, probably because she was tired, so she stopped speaking.
That night.
Liu Ruyan was taken to an inn, and was forced into a carriage before dawn. She was only fed a few mouthfuls of water by the puppet on the way, and rushed non-stop to the Cang Ming Sect's stronghold - Wulu Villa.
When we finally saw the sun, it was already evening two days later.
The heavy snow had long since stopped, and Liu Ruyan was carried out of the carriage by a puppet. As far as the eye could see, there were several palaces nestled among the high mountains.
Thin clouds lingered, and the momentum was majestic. The entire villa was like a scroll, unchanged at all as she had seen it in her previous life.
Liu Ruyan took a breath of cold air and said feebly: "Your Majesty, I was wrong. The little one has not had a meal for two days and two nights. How about giving me some food to cushion my stomach?"
A certain demon who had just got off the carriage frowned.
He had been practicing the Burning Heart Technique all his life. He was indifferent to desires and had a calm mind. However, for two days in a row, he repeatedly failed the technique on her.
"Naochao." He gestured, and a puppet came next to him, "Put her in a prison and keep her under strict supervision."
The puppet took orders and took Liu Ruyan down.
Nearby, Ye Xun flashed out and said, "The host is not in good shape. How can I escape from death if this continues?"
Liu Ruyan restrained her expression and looked around calmly: "It doesn't matter, the moon will be full tomorrow night, and the devil will be practicing in the house. I have my own way to escape."
In her opinion, Shen Yanchu is naturally arrogant and good at forbearing. This kind of person has great patience and is not easy to deal with.
Just like in the past few days, she tried to anger the other person, but she could never figure out his bottom line.
I want him to violate taboos and go crazy during practice.
