Chapter 103: Let’s go on an adventure. Don’t say such things in front of children…

Ye Wan was not very happy.

After searching for him in this place for so long, this person finally showed up, pretending to be serious and wearing a silver mask. Was he playing a trick on her?

Her face turned cold, she lifted her skirt and walked around him, but he grabbed her arm. The next second, Ye Wan took the opportunity to raise her hand to remove the mask on his face, and the silver mask fell to the ground.

The face behind the mask was sharp and perfect, with distinct features and a nose as high as a mountain ridge. A pair of eyes looked at her intently: "When did you realize it was mine?"

"You came over and kissed me during the Harvest Festival wearing that ridiculous mask."

The feeling of kissing a lover is different from kissing a stranger, not to mention that he has the familiar mint scent.

He was amused by this, but suddenly became alert and pulled her behind a tree: "Someone is coming."

It was little Youan who arrived, wearing the same dark green dress. He walked towards them with an expectant look on his face. Ye Wan glanced at little Youan in the distance, then at Youan in front of him. "If he saw me when I grew up, he'd be terrified."

Little Youan nervously adjusted his tie and stood at the door of Ye Wan's dormitory waiting for her.

"I'm coming over." Ye Wan was about to leave when You An grabbed his arm.

"Let go."

"No."

Ye Wan was shocked: "Why?"

Those beautiful eyes looked at her intently: "Kiss me as compensation, and I will let you go."

"Isn't that what you wanted as compensation when you were a child?" Ye Wan found this person inexplicable.

"That's different." He looked a little anxious: "I can't bear to see you dancing with him and kissing me. Otherwise, if he finds out, things will be very difficult to say."

Ye Wan felt that little Youan was a little pitiful.

He lifted Ye Wan's chin: "You don't want to?"

"Yuan, you were so lonely when you were little. Don't let yourself bully your little self." Ye Wan said seriously.

He was stunned for a moment, then said helplessly: "Okay, okay, Merlin, I'm just a little jealous that he can dance with you."

He lowered his head and gently kissed her forehead: "Anyway, after we go back, you will still belong to me."

Ye Wan felt the long-lost mint scent and touched his head on tiptoe: "Okay, okay, wait for us to go back."

She walked out from the bushes and came to find little Youan who was waiting at the door. He waited seriously and showed no impatience. Ye Wan reminded him softly from behind: "Your Highness."

He turned around and saw Ye Wan dressed up in a gorgeous outfit. His face instantly turned red: "You, you, you..."

Finally, he stuttered for a long time and said nothing. He just hurriedly walked ahead, then turned around and held out his hand to Ye Wan: "It's too big here. In case you get lost, I'll hold you."

"Okay." Ye Wan placed his hand in his palm without hesitation.

The glow of the sunset gradually faded away, and the first star popped out in the night sky, appearing lonely in the night sky. Ye Wan suddenly felt a little sad. Now that Youan had also appeared, there should be a way to go back.

What about little Youan? Will he be alone again during the years she is away?

The banquet hall of the Holy Rose Palace is a dazzling dream woven of diamonds, gold, and all kinds of laughter and joy. The air is filled with the sweet aroma of perfume and chocolate desserts, and the sound of clinking glasses and joy surges in every corner like a tide.

Little Youan temporarily left her side and went to socialize with the envoys and important ministers. Everyone complimented the crown prince instead of a child named Youan. Ye Wan felt like he was separated by a crystal cover. The gorgeous world was burning in front of him, and he was lonely as snow.

The music started, and Ye Wan was very popular tonight. Her beautiful oriental face attracted many people to invite her to dance. Then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince quickly rushed over and said stubbornly: "The first dance is mine."

Ye Wan bent her knees slightly and saluted, then placed her hand in his smaller palm. The latter immediately closed his fingers, fearing that someone would snatch her away, with a bit of childishness and possessiveness.

Little Youan led her onto the dance floor. His dance steps were very skillful, but he lacked control. Ye Wan followed his rhythm and quietly handed over the initiative to him.

"Your Highness, don't be nervous." She said gently, as if comforting a little animal.

"I'm not nervous," he said stubbornly.

He is almost as tall as Ye Wan, and will continue to grow taller in the future until he is a head taller than her. Then they will meet again in the tower one day in the future.

Ye Wan asked, "What's your favorite food?"

Little Youan thought for a moment and said, "The lemon cake you made."

Everything she made was delicious, some not as exquisite as those made by the royal chefs, but all were made with love.

For example, late at night, while he was still studying and handling government affairs, he would hear a slight noise from the window.

When he got up to open the window, he found Ye Wan standing downstairs, looking up at him with a smile, and raised the cake in her hand towards him: "Come for a midnight snack."

As the warm black tea brewed, Ye Wan carefully cut a piece of lemon cake for him under the light. "It is said that these are lemons picked from the top of Bala Snow Mountain. The lemon aroma is particularly strong."

Youan felt that the whole night was filled with the sweet and sour scent of lemon.

Ye Wan thought of the time in the tower when the giant rabbit tricked her into kissing the sleeping prince.

What did she do? She stuffed a large piece of lemon cream cake into the mouth of His Royal Highness.

Ye Wan couldn't help but laugh.

Little Youan looked up at her: "What are you laughing at?"

What she thought was that it was actually the lemon cake that woke Youan up.

"No... I was just thinking..." She was about to say something when she suddenly felt the earth shake.

"Is it my illusion?" Ye Wan said in confusion.

The earth shook again.

"Is it a dragon?" Ye Wan thought of the black dragon that appeared inexplicably.

Youan ran over wearing a mask: "It's not good, let's go first."

"Wait, where are you taking me?"

He didn't say anything, but put one arm around Ye Wan's waist and the other hand holding little Youan and walked out.

"It's so cold..." Leaving the warm and comfortable banquet hall, it suddenly became cold outside. Youan took off his thick woolen coat and put it on her.

"Why is it snowing suddenly?"

Ye Wan looked up and saw that it was not the kind of crystal and romantic snowflakes, but the kind of rough snow particles that hit his face and hurt him.

Little Youan was being held by his hand. While struggling, he asked rudely, "Who are you?"

There was another huge vibration in the distance. You An pulled them along and said, "I'll explain it to you later. There's no time."

Ye Wan was having trouble walking in her high heels, so You An carried her on his back without hesitation: "Let's go first!"

She lay on his back, the snowflakes scratching her face painfully. Logically, she should have been awake at this moment, but for some reason she suddenly became drowsy and fell asleep on Youan's shoulder.

"Don't sleep!" The last thing I heard was little Youan's anxious voice.

When Ye Wan woke up again, he was awakened by pain.

It tasted like an awful magic potion, a bit like the damp, slippery scent of moss after rain, and then turned into mint juice mixed with honey.

Ye Wan was awakened by the strong smell of mint. She was lying in Youan's arms beside the warm fire, and heavy snow was still falling outside.

"What happened?"

"This is a disaster for the kingdom." The person who came spoke in a hoarse voice. She was wearing a black robe and holding a bowl of medicine in her hand.

Youan introduced, "This is my mother's maid, the great witch of the kingdom."

"The one who arrested me and forced me to change my name to Alice?"

"My purpose is to find you, not to harm you. The kingdom is in a great crisis now." The Great Witch sighed.

The first king of the Kingdom of Osenna once signed a contract with the spirit of the earth vein, promising to treat the citizens of the kingdom with kindness and public spirit, and to ensure that the country would be prosperous.

However, rulers of recent generations have deviated from the core of the contract due to power struggles and intrigues. This behavior has violated the agreement with the earth spirits and caused the earth spirits to fall into pain.

This will cause the world to slowly freeze over. Not only will the warm spring and summer never return, but the emotions and will of the people will also gradually freeze. Joyful celebrations will no longer bring joy to everyone, and even the most delicious food in the world will not be tasted by everyone.

This statement made Ye Wan sad.

"Sending you here is to correct this critical point that is causing the kingdom to decline."

"How do we fix this?"

We can't just pull the old king down and force little Youan to take over.

"You need to go to the kingdom's underground treasury, where there are treasures from various countries plundered by the old king, as well as a dragon."

"dragon?"

"The dragon is a sacred magical creature. Imprisoning such a magical creature will bring punishment from heaven. Go find it, rescue it, and return the treasure to everyone."

This sounded like a difficult task. The Great Witch cleared her throat and said, "By the way, there may be protective mechanisms and magical creatures guarding the basement."

Ye Wan: "For example?"

"For example, a giant three-headed dog from hell." The great witch nodded seriously at Ye Wan.

"..." She looked at the little Youan beside her, then at the big Youan beside her: "Then shall we three go?"

Youan said: "I have contacted my friends and they will be arriving from there soon."

"Where is the underground treasure house?"

"It's on the ground floor of the Kingdom Post Office," the Great Witch said. "You can go now if you pack up. It's a maze-like place, and you might encounter some danger, but I believe you can return safely."

"It's just another form of dungeon." Ye Wan shrugged and comforted himself.

They first went to pick out some supplies for entering the dungeon. Little Youan kept staring at Youan, looking very unconvinced: "Are you my future self?"

"Except that he's taller and stronger than me, there's nothing special about him."

He looked a little disappointed.

"Hey, little guy, don't be disappointed. In fact, apart from height, I am much better than you in some aspects. If you don't believe me, just ask her." Youan said.

Ye Wan was taking out a compass and a long-light cold-light stone. Upon hearing this, his blood pressure soared: "What are you talking about in front of a child?"

"Also, no idle chattering, hurry up and choose your equipment."

The big one and the small one walked to Ye Wan's side and decided not to even glance at each other.
