"Sister Xiao!"

Zuo Miaomiao cried out and rushed forward, trying to support Xiao Qingyin.

A tall figure rushed ahead of her and caught the person.

He is the heir apparent of the Marquis of Yong'an.

Xiao Qingyin leaned against Yi Shuihan's chest, surrounded by the familiar, refreshing fragrance, and felt even more agitated.

She managed to keep her mind clear and tugged at Yi Shuihan's sleeve, saying, "Do you know where there's a cold spring? Please take me there."

Even through her cloak, Yi Shuihan could feel her abnormally high body temperature and was about to ask her something.

Upon hearing this, he reached out and put his arm around her knees, picked her up, and left.

"Hey, where are you taking Sister Xiao?"

Zuo Miaomiao chased after her.

"see a doctor."

Yi Shuihan returned to the lake shore, jumped, and disappeared into the night with Xiao Qingyin in his arms.

Zuo Miaomiao had no choice but to stop in her tracks.

Bai Musheng's face was ashen, and his eyes were filled with gloom.

The sounds of discussion continued to circulate around me.

"It seems that the heir of the Marquis of Yong'an cares quite a bit about Miss Xiao, as evidenced by his rescue attempt and subsequent rescue."

"You're only finding out now? Last time, when rumors were flying everywhere, he stepped in to refute them, which showed how protective he is."

"I never expected that such a cold-blooded person would have such a tender side."

"..."

Bai Musheng gritted her teeth, flicked her sleeves, and left.

Yi Shuihan took Xiao Qingyin to the stable.

The white horse was lying on the ground, idly chewing grass, and didn't move when it saw Yi Shuihan return.

He only glanced curiously at the person he was holding in his arms.

Upon realizing it was Xiao Qingyin, she jumped up and let out an excited howl.

Yi Shuihan: Could the discrimination be any more obvious?! Who exactly is your master?

Seeing that Xiao Qingyin had her eyes closed and looked unconscious, the white horse knelt down so that Yi Shuihan could put her on its back.

It was as proactive as another horse.

Yi Shuihan was already numb.

He put his arm around Xiao Qingyin and helped her onto the saddle. Before he could even urge the horse on, the white horse shot off like an arrow.

He was so angry that he grabbed a handful of mane.

"What are you getting so excited about! You know you're going the wrong way!"

The big white horse fluttered its eyelashes: Aren't we going back to the city?

Yi Shuihan pulled on the reins to adjust the direction and headed west.

Ten miles away, there was a mountain that belonged to his family. On one of the peaks was a cold spring, and even in June, the spring water was as cold as ice water.

His father had built a hot spring pool by the spring years ago and diverted water there for his mother to use to cool off in the summer.

Xiao Qingyin initially nestled quietly in his arms, but soon began to fidget.

She turned around and clung to Yi Shuihan like an octopus.

He even reached out to pull at the bronze mask.

He kept saying, "This one is too ugly, give me a different face, I want to see a handsome guy."

They almost ripped the mask off.

Yi Shuihan had no choice but to grab her hand and restrain her.

What's wrong with you?

Although the lake water was indeed a bit cold, it shouldn't have caused such a severe fever that your brain would be completely fried after just a short soak.

Xiao Qingyin couldn't answer him. She was like a drunkard, saying and doing things completely out of control.

When Yi Shuihan saw that her eyes were clouded and all her usual shrewdness was gone, he couldn't help but worry.

"Could he have gone stupid from the fever?"

"hey-hey!"

Xiao Qingyin grinned foolishly at him.

Yi Shuihan couldn't bear to look at him any longer and turned his face away.

Upon arriving at the villa, he placed Xiao Qingyin in the hot spring.

The pool water was so cold it looked like it was about to freeze, and Yi Shuihan frowned.

It's so cold, can she stand it?

Won't it ruin someone's health?

Xiao Qingyin let out a comfortable sigh as soon as she entered the water.

She lay on her back on the water, looking at the round moon in the sky, and murmured, "The moonlight is so beautiful tonight!"

Yi Shuihan looked up and agreed, "It is beautiful."

"No, no, you should say that the wind is also very gentle."

Xiao Qingyin corrected.

"That way I'll know you like me too."

Yi Shuihan: "???"

Didn't you say you liked Yi Jiu yesterday? How come it's him now?

What a fraud.

He's full of lies.

Fortunately, he didn't take it seriously.

Xiao Qingyin's skin was already fair, but under the silvery moonlight, it appeared even fairer.

Especially the area below the neck, set off by three richly colored beads, is even more dazzling than snow.

Yi Shuihan paused for a moment before realizing where he was looking.

Quickly, don't open your eyes.

My heart was pounding wildly.

To calm himself down, he asked the question that had been weighing on his mind.

Why are you so concerned about Sezhu?

Why risk your life to participate in the competition designed by the Third Princess? Is this thing really that important?

"Because collecting all nine beads can summon the dragon!"

Xiao Qingyin blurted it out.

Yi Shuihan: "..."

Nonsense!

If collecting all nine orbs could summon a dragon, emperors from various countries who considered themselves the Son of Heaven would have already collected all the orbs in the world.

He had never even heard of the legend of Serzhu and the dragon.

"Where did you hear that from?"

Xiao Qingyin turned her head and glared at him: "Of course it was my clever brain that came up with it."

Yi Shuihan was speechless.

He shouldn't have talked to that idiot!

Then Xiao Qingyin said, "Once I summon the dragon, I can go home."

Yi Shuihan's heart stirred.

Where do you live?

"A place very, very far away..."

Xiao Qingyin fell silent as she spoke.

Yi Shuihan turned around and saw that the person had already fallen asleep.

His sleeping face was very peaceful.

Her eyelids were naturally closed, and her long, thick eyelashes looked like two small brushes stuck to her face.
