"The southern oasis realm is at least several million miles away from the Fire Kingdom. This is just an estimate. I have never been to the specific distance. It takes more than half a year to come back and forth, and nothing may happen during this period... so
…”
Hu Tao'er said, looking towards Mei Yu'er who was weak on the bed.
"So... I'm afraid I can only take her with me..."
These words poured cold water on Xiao Yu, making her suddenly worried.
On this trip to the south, she would still go even if there was no such thing as Mei Yuer. Because she wanted to find Lu Wentian and understand the secret of why she came here. Since the Queen of Fire deliberately gave her clues,
Then 80% of it won't be fake.
If it was just her, Hu Tao'er and Lin Keqing traveling lightly, even if there were monsters in the endless forest, with her spells, Hu Tao'er's agility, and Lin Keqing's special soul body, they should be able to
Not a big problem.
After all, Jixing had relented and promised that she could go south as long as she broke through the cultivation level. Based on Jixing's reaction, Xiao Yu roughly guessed that with Yuan Cheng's later cultivation level, he would be able to protect himself when entering the Endless Forest.
However, if you take Mei Yuer with you... the difficulty of the matter will suddenly increase. It is not just as simple as self-protection, but also to protect a weak woman who has no power to restrain a chicken.
"Is this the only way?"
Xiao Yu pondered for a moment and asked extremely seriously.
And Hu Tao'er didn't hide anything. She looked serious like Xiao Yu had never seen before. The two of them looked at each other, and Hu Tao'er's helpless eyes said everything.
"This is the only way. Unless you can put as much blood as two water tanks in to keep her alive before going south, I'm afraid we have no choice."
Although Hu Taoer's words seemed to be a joke, she also told Xiao Yu in this way. Every word she said was telling her the truth.
Hu Taoer's words caused a long period of silence in the room.
Xiao Yu is not a person who is afraid of life and death, but if she takes Mei Yu'er with her, she is a little scared. She is afraid that she will not be able to protect her and return safely.
She looked at Mei Yu'er and wanted to tell her her worries, but she didn't know how to speak.
Mei Shan fell on the chair with tears in his eyes. At that moment, he seemed to be older. His helpless eyes sometimes looked at Xiao Yu, sometimes at Hu Taoer, and finally fell on his daughter.
At this time, a smile appeared on Mei Yu'er's face. She looked at her father. Although she didn't say a word, she knew that a daughter is better than her father. At this time, two lines of tears fell from Mei Shan's eyes.
"Yu'er..."
He slumped down on the chair and whispered with choked sobs.
"Dad, please let me go."
Mei Yu'er said softly, holding on to the bed and sitting up.
Her face was still a little pale, but after being fed blood and injected with spiritual power by Xiao Yu, her face gradually returned to a healthy color.
She stood up from the bed, walked to her father with difficult steps, and knelt down gently.
"Father, instead of sitting back and waiting for death, living like this, life is worse than death, why not let your daughter go with the two sisters, maybe you can win a glimmer of life..."
"If... your daughter accidentally dies on the road, just think of it as an unfilial daughter... forget about me as an unfilial daughter."
As she spoke, Mei Yuer kowtowed heavily towards Mei Shan. When she raised her head, tears were already rolling in her eyes, but they never fell.
Mei Shan was choked up and speechless, and kept shaking his head. He raised his tearful eyes and looked at Xiao Yu, as if asking for the other party's consent.
If a mother's love for her children is like a gurgling stream that never stops flowing, then a father's love is like a towering mountain, silent at ordinary times, but so deep once revealed.
Xiao Yu looked at the father and daughter in front of her, and suddenly thought of her parents. She wondered what was going on over there at this time. If she was no longer there, would her parents have also turned gray overnight, and in their old age?
Are your eyes also filled with tears?
Thinking of this, Xiao Yu felt that she and Mei Yu'er were in the same boat, and her eyes felt a little hot, so she nodded towards Mei Shan.
"Now that sister Yu'er has made up her mind, we will do our best to protect her."
"It's getting late, we have to leave. Later I will take some blood and give it to sister Yu'er. You can put it in the ice cellar and keep it well. The trip to the south... is expected to leave in half a month."
Xiao Yu thought for a moment, glanced at the knife on the table, and said slowly.
"About the travel matter... I will explain it to Alin."
As she spoke, her eyes unconsciously glanced at Qin Lin, who looked anxiously. He seemed to have a lot to say, and seemed to have been waiting for a long time. Xiao Yu finally called his name, and his face suddenly changed.
There was a hint of excitement.
Seeing him like this, Xiao Yu burst out laughing, her beautiful eyes swept over Qin Lin's face, and then walked out of the room without saying a word, followed by Qin Lin who followed him hurriedly.
The two came to a secluded courtyard.
It was already approaching sunset, and the sun was already setting in the west. Xiao Yu and Qin Lin stood in the pavilion in the courtyard. The light in the pavilion was full of warmth, and so was the atmosphere.
After a brief encounter for half a day, it was finally time to say goodbye.
Under the gradually warmer yellow light, Qin Lin's face became softer. His pupils flickered in his eyes, full of reluctance. His neck was long, and sometimes light penetrated and scattered from his hair.
The sight of his beautiful jaw fascinated Xiao Yu.
Her eyes were a bit unable to open under the sun, and her long eyelashes were fluttering, which was actually a bit cute. Her long and smooth hair was draped behind her, setting off her fair and delicate face. The warm atmosphere made Xiao Yu's lips even more beautiful.
Ruddy, the same color as her cheeks at this time, fresh and crimson.
"Do you really want to leave? Do you have to go? Can't you really stay, even for one night?"
Qin Lin's voice was gentle and urgent, and Xiao Yu could hear the millions of reluctances in his voice. These three consecutive questions hit Xiao Yu's heart again and again, making her gradually feel sad.
Because she also asked herself the same question many times in her mind, and the answer she got appeared in her mind along with Jiexing's stern expression. The answer was yes.
The one-month appointment was still there, and it was hard to break the teacher's order, so she could only nodded and looked at Qin Lin with an apologetic look.
"This time I go to the south, I want to go with you."
In the pavilion, Qin Lin's voice was clear and sweet, hitting Xiao Yu's heart directly.
"Don't reject me... okay?"
Xiao Yu was about to speak, but before she could tell him a word, Qin Lin interrupted her. There was a bit of overbearing in his tone, which made Xiao Yu's expression startled. It was a temper she had never seen before.
Qin Lin's eyes were deep and clear. His eyes seemed to have already made up his mind, and there was even a bit of stubbornness in them.
"I have already been separated from you once, which has made me regret it. I don't want to be separated from you again. I know that I have little ability, but if I can help you even a little bit, I also want to be with you forever!
"
The breeze blew across her face, and Qin Lin's words added a little heat to the wind. Suddenly they hit Xiao Yu's face and heart, causing her face to burn instantly and out of control.
There seemed to be turbulent waves beating in her heart. She was ecstatic, but also a little flattered. This was the first time in her life that she had experienced such an affectionate confession from a man.
Each of those words turned into a circle of ripples, vibrating in Xiao Yu's mind for a long time, causing her to lose consciousness for a moment.
At this time, Qin Lin's face suddenly turned red for some reason, and his ears were burning hot. Xiao Yu looked at his stubborn yet cute appearance, and unconsciously his right hand slowly fell on his cheek, and rubbed it a few times.
"Fool, the south is very dangerous. I have too much time to take care of myself. How can I protect you?"
Xiao Yu's voice was fresh and melodious, like beats hitting Qin Lin's heartstrings, making him a little fascinated at this moment, but he insisted on his opinion even more.
His hand unconsciously fell on the back of Xiao Yu's hand. Due to nervousness, his palm was a little cold, but it was quickly warmed by Xiao Yu's hand.
He slowly closed his eyes and tried his best to feel the warmth of Xiao Yu's palm. He wanted to remember this moment forever.
"Just think of me as the biggest fool in the world. I will work hard to practice and even better practice the swordsmanship of my Qin family. I hope that one day I will be strong enough to protect you in my arms and save you.
All the troubles in the world.”
Qin Lin slowly opened his eyes, looked at the person in front of him affectionately, and held her hand tighter. Finally, he simply held it in his hand, wrapping his big hand around his small hand and squeezing it gently.
Then, he placed Xiao Yu's hand on the left side of his chest, where his fiery and pious heart was.
Xiao Yu's heartbeat seemed to be out of rhythm. What was flowing in her hands was the warmth of Qin Lin's body, and what was beating in her palms was Qin Lin's heartbeat.
Dong-dong-dong... The powerful beatings drove her heart to chase those rhythms unconsciously. The heartbeats of the two of them were like waves chasing each other on the coast. After the chaos one after another, they gradually became harmonious and unified.
