Chapter 239 - HarmonyIn this land of ice and snow, the bonfire inside the tree hole was warm. Under the light of the fire, there was a red mandarin duck bed.
At this moment, the beauty was beside him, lying on her side with her back facing him.
Xiang Yun"s heart unconsciously sped up. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva. At this moment, he actually remembered a joke from his previous life.
At night, the two of them lived in a dilapidated temple. Because there was only one bed, the woman drew a line in the middle of the bed so that no man could cross the border. Otherwise, he would be a beast.
On the second day, the man opened his eyes and saw a woman who was glaring at him with a face full of anger. The man was extremely surprised; he hadn"t offended her at all last night.
However, the woman left him with just one sentence, "You"re even worse than a beast!"
However, a joke was still a joke. Xiang Yun naturally knew that if he were to really do something beyond his means, with Luo Ning"s temper, he would most likely not be able to do anything even a beast could do.
Thus, Xiang Yun could only continue to hold on to his heart and heart. It was truly difficult to endure when there was no other choice but to do battle with the G.o.ds in his heart.
What he didn"t know was that Luo Ning, who seemed to be sleeping peacefully on the bed, also felt her heart racing. Her delicate hand trembled slightly as she thought of something.
"That fellow won"t act rashly, right? If he dares to act rashly, I"ll definitely …" Luo Ning wanted to say that he definitely had to kill Xiang Yun, but she changed her tone afterwards. "I"ll definitely not let him off lightly."Boundless snow day, warm cold tree hole, there is a beautiful woman"s body, there is a young mind, light flickering, the atmosphere charming and charming.
Although the two of them didn"t make any movements, the nervous feeling they had was like a couple about to have a wedding. This warm tree hole was their bridal chamber.
One night without words
Early the next morning, Xiang Yun and Luo Ning exited the tree hole at the same time, waiting on the spot for a moment. Hidden in the shadows, Lu Yongchang leapt towards Xiang Yun and knelt down on one knee.In the next moment, seven to eight black figures appeared from all directions of the forest. Like ghosts, they leapt forward and knelt down before Xiang Yun, cupping their hands and bowing to him!
"Greetings, Your Highness!"These people were the Death Soldiers led by Lu Yongchang. They had entered the Silvermoon Forest together to search for Xiang Yun!
"There"s no need to be so polite, we can leave." Xiang Yun"s gaze swept across these people before waving for them to hurry over!Along the way, eight black-clothed men were protecting Xiang Yun and Luo Ning at the center, while Lu Yongchang was standing beside Xiang Yun to protect him.
Seeing how cautious the black-clothed men and Lu Yongchang were, Xiang Yun said, "City Lord Lu, we"re almost out of the forest. You don"t have to be so cautious.""Your Highness, there is nothing wrong with being careful. The Silvermoon Forest is full of dangers. High level cloud beasts frequently come from the depths of the forest to hunt. We must be careful."
"Moreover, we finally found you after much difficulty. We can"t let anything happen to you!"
"Yes, City Lord Lu is still the best!" Xiang Yun nodded and said no more.
After a while, Lu Yongchang opened his mouth again and asked, "Your Highness, I forgot to ask you about an important matter last night. How did you manage to enter the Silvermoon Forest?"
There was no need to explain the dangers of the Silvermoon Forest, and Lu Yongchang was well aware of Xiang Yun"s strength. The former could not have entered this forest for no reason at all.
"Could it be that His Highness was kidnapped here by a traitor?"Xiang Yun turned to look at Lu Yongchang. After hesitating for a moment, he finally gritted his teeth and scolded in a fl.u.s.tered manner.
"Motherf * cker, when this matter is brought up, my son got angry. It was all those audacious b.a.s.t.a.r.ds from the Snow Dragon Sect!"
"Oh?" Lu Yongchang looked at Xiang Yun in shock, "Your Highness, could it be that someone from the Snow Dragon Sect brought you into this Silvermoon Forest?"
"Ah …" Xiang Yun angrily nodded his head, "That"s right. This prince was momentarily interested, but was just here for a sightseeing. Who would have thought that there would be someone secretly setting me up? It"s this Snow Dragon Sect person who forced this prince into this d.a.m.ned place."
Next, Xiang Yun narrated what had happened to him, one by one, to Lu Yongchang. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, however, Xiang Yun had omitted two crucial points.
The first was the Snow Dragon Sect. The Lord personally sent him into the Silvermoon Forest. He only said that it was Zheng Yufeng, son of Zheng Heshan. He held a grudge against the previous time he was beaten up and brought people to a.s.sa.s.sinate him.
After entering the Silvermoon Forest, he didn"t mention a single word about the battle between the Jade-Eyed Red Flame Lion and the Spirit Devouring Bug.
However, upon hearing that it was Zheng Yufeng who had led the Snow Dragon Sect to attack, Lu Yongchang was slightly stunned for a moment before a ruthless look surfaced in his eyes!
"The Snow Dragon Sect is really bold. They actually dare to take revenge on His Highness. They really think they can do whatever they want just because they have the power in the sect!"Lu Yongchang immediately promised Xiang Yun, "Your Highness, do not worry. When we return to Qinfeng City, this official will personally bring people to the Snow Dragon Gate and bring the father and son of the Zheng Family of the Snow Dragon Sect here to denounce them for their crimes!"
"Mhm, of course we can"t spare them." Xiang Yun nodded.
"Right, Your Highness. You have been walking from the depths of the Silvermoon Forest all the way here. Did you encounter any danger? Also, why would Miss Luo Ning appear in the forest? Did you also encounter some evil people?"
On the side, Luo Ning still refused to speak further, while Xiang Yun waved his hand and said, "Ah, it"s a long story. When we return to Qinfeng City, this prince will arrange a banquet and invite the City Lord to have a few cups of wine. At that time, it wouldn"t be too late to talk about these bad thoughts.""Everything is under His Highness" control."
Lu Yongchang smiled in a simple and honest manner. Nodding his head, he said no more, following Xiang Yun by half a step as he stood by the latter"s side.
With the protection of Lu Yongchang and this group of deathsworn, the journey Xiang Yun and the rest had been much smoother.
On the way, whenever the Cloud Beast obstructed him, there would be two or three black robed Death Soldiers flying forward, cleanly killing them and burying them on the ground without leaving even the slightest trace!
It was said that these Death Soldiers were all experts hired by Lu Yongchang and the crown prince"s residence in the martial arts world. Xiang Yun could not see through the cultivation levels of these eight Death Soldiers, but they were definitely experts above Huang Yun.
On the way, there had once been a mid-level soldier level "Three Bone Dissolving Snakes" attacking everyone. In the end, three black robed Death Soldiers had teamed up to defend the enemy.
In just a moment, all three of them had cut off the snake"s three heads and seized the beast crystal. The strength of these black-clothed Death Soldiers could be seen from this!
Because the outer area of the Silvermoon Forest was where the Cloud Beasts were the most concentrated, and since this group of people were quite large, it was naturally very conspicuous when they were walking through the forest. Thus, they were met with quite a few obstructions along the way.
One of them even encountered an attack from a pack of Earth Origin Wolves. These Cloud Beasts were not of high rank and were all Five Cloud Cloud Beasts. However, they were in huge numbers, often numbering in the hundreds. They moved together.
Fortunately, these eight black robed Death Soldiers had a high cultivation base and extraordinary skills. Together with Lu Yongchang, who was at the peak of the Mystic Cloud Realm, they quickly beheaded half of the Earth Yuan Wolves. In the end, they intimidated the pack of wolves and scared them into retreating!
They fought fiercely all the way, and finally, the sun finally set.
They were probably only a day"s journey away from Silvermoon Forest. These men in black were still stained with the blood of the Earth Origin Wolf. After Lu Yongchang had consulted Xiang Yun, he decided to find a place to rest!This time, everyone wasn"t so lucky. They weren"t able to find the sealed cave in the surroundings, but they were able to find a cliff face with a huge boulder hiding above it, creating a crevice where they could hide.
With the eight Death Soldiers, Lu Yongchang cleaned all the narrow cracks in the mountain. Only then did he invite Xiang Yun and the rest to rest.Afterwards, he ordered the eight Death Soldiers to quickly wash off the blood stains on their bodies. In the Silvermoon Forest, there were countless Cloud Beasts with keen sense of smell. It was normal for them to sniff the scent of blood from tens of miles away.
After the eight Death Soldiers left, Lu Yongchang brought Xiang Yun and the rest two chairs made from tree trunks and sat down cross-legged on the ground. He affably opened his bag and took out some rations to share with them.Lu Yongchang took a dry and hard steamed bun and said somewhat embarra.s.sedly, "Your Highness, I left in a hurry. Before I left, I brought these dry rations with me. Your Highness, you have suffered too."
"Hey, City Lord, what are you talking about? It"s already not bad to have these steamed buns to eat in the wilderness like this. It"s pretty fragrant to eat them by roasting them."
Hearing this, Lu Yongchang also revealed a trace of a smile and said, "What Your Highness said is, when Your Highness didn"t come to Qinfeng City, there wasn"t even a decent restaurant in the city. Most of the land outside the city was barren and difficult to cultivate.""My Lord Mayor"s annual salary is not even as much as a merchant"s salary. He eats the most in his house, and it"s only steamed buns and bread."
"At that time, what I loved to eat the most was this steamed bun. It had a bit of smoky smell to it, and it was also very fragrant."
Lu Yongchang ate half of the steamed bun in one big bite. His face revealed a nostalgic expression. He seemed to recall the poor scene back in the City Lord"s Mansion where the steamed bun was eaten as food.
And then he laughed. "Haha … But G.o.d has been kind to me. He sent you as a savior."
"Ever since the arrival of your highness, Qin Feng City has become a brand-new city, and the income within the city has increased rapidly. Even as the mayor of Qin Feng City, I no longer need to eat mantou. Your highness is my savior!"
However, Xiang Yun shook his head and said, "This Lu Yongchang of yours really is a tenacious one. You said that as a Mystic Cloud Realm expert, if you"re unwilling to be an official, or a martial general, or even to roam the martial arts world, how could I not allow you to show off your skills? But you insisted on being a small city lord in this bitter cold Northwest City."
Lu Yongchang"s ears flapped as his smile became even more brilliant, "Haha, Your Highness. I had planned to give up before, but there was an expert who gave me his life."
"He said, as long as I continue to persevere here, I will definitely meet a n.o.ble person, which will change my fate, and ever since I met His Highness, I knew, you are my respected person!"
"Haha …" Xiang Yun laughed heartily upon hearing this. He pointed at Lu Yongchang and jokingly scolded, "d.a.m.n you, Lu Yongchang. Now you"ve even learned to flatter others. You"re so roundabout and tactful!""I dare not, I dare not! This official"s words are true, I absolutely do not flatter you!" Lu Yongchang quickly cupped his hands and begged for mercy.
Both of them had bright smiles on their faces.
However, at this moment, an extraordinary change suddenly occurred in the world. This change was extremely subtle, and ordinary Cloud Realm warriors would not be able to notice it even if they reached the Yellow Cloud Realm.
If it had not been for Xiang Yun"s mental strength breaking the divine will barrier, he would not have been able to sense it even with the power of his spiritual will. At this moment, he could clearly sense that the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth had become somewhat sluggish.
Beside him, Luo Ning was the same!
Luo Ning"s eyes immediately flashed. With one hand, she quietly reached behind her back for the huge sword box!Right at this moment, Xiang Yun suddenly extended a hand, grabbing onto Luo Ning"s hand that was reaching for the sword box!
Luo Ning"s small hand felt soft and slightly cold as she held it. It was as if she were holding a piece of flawless, beautiful jade, causing Xiang Yun"s heart to flutter."You …" Luo Ning turned her head to look at Xiang Yun. Feeling the package wrapped in her warm hand, her eyes were filled with disbelief!
Xiang Yun"s guts … When did they become so big? He actually dared to be so frivolous!
