"good."

Ye Chen nodded, with a hint of approval in his voice.

"Since you are so determined, I will take you to the outside world to explore."

"I'll take you to see the vast three thousand star regions beyond the Tianchen Continent. Just how magnificent they are!"

As he spoke, Ye Chen stretched out his arms and gently embraced Ruoxi in his arms.

This time, it is no longer a consolation, but a recognition and a promise made in the past!

Ruoxi's body suddenly stiffened, and an unprecedented electric shock sensation spread throughout her body.

Her heart was pounding and her face blushed quickly to her ears. This was the first time her brother took the initiative to hug her.

It was completely different from the feeling she had before when she took the initiative to throw herself into her brother's arms!

An indescribable shyness and sweetness filled my heart.

Ruoxi snuggled obediently in Ye Chen's arms, her nose filled with the unique scent of Ye Chen, which made her extremely fascinated.

Feeling Ye Chen's warm body temperature, Ruoxi felt as if she owned the whole world at this moment.

The two of them sat hugging each other, enjoying this rare warmth.

After a moment, Ruoxi mustered up the courage to break the silence.

"Brother, actually... I am an orphan."

Ye Chen was not surprised when he heard this, but just nodded slightly.

He had long seen that Ruoxi had no blood relationship with Li Yingtian or the royal family of Daxia.

"I was picked up by my mother from outside the palace."

Ruoxi buried her little head in Ye Chen's arms and told him her life story.

Ruoxi's mother is the current queen of Daxia and the biological mother of the crown prince.

A few years after giving birth to the crown prince, the queen gave birth to another little princess, whom she loved very much.

Unfortunately, the little princess died shortly after she was born.

The queen was so grief-stricken and heartbroken that she fell ill and became depressed.

Li Yingtian felt sorry for the queen, and in order to ease her worries, he allowed her to leave the palace to visit her relatives.

On the way back to the palace from visiting relatives, the Queen met Ruoxi, who was still in her infancy and abandoned, on a secluded roadside.

The Queen thought that perhaps God took pity on her for losing her daughter and sent little Ruoxi to her as compensation.

So she brought Ruoxi back to the palace, adopted her as her daughter, treated her as her own, and loved her very much.

Li Yingtian did not treat Ruoxi differently because she was not his biological daughter. Instead, he loved her even more.

She was treated better than other children, even the crown prince, and was given the title of Princess Ruoxi.

It’s a pity that the queen developed an incurable illness due to excessive grief.

After forcing himself to accompany Ruoxi for ten years, he finally passed away.

After telling her life story, Ruoxi could no longer control herself and snuggled in Ye Chen's arms, crying uncontrollably, filled with longing for her mother.

He was the closest person to her in this world, besides her brother.

Ye Chen's heart softened and he held the girl's arms tightly.

He reached out and wiped away the tears from the corners of Ruoxi's eyes.

"It's all in the past. I'll have my brother here from now on."

"Brother will protect you and will never let you get hurt again."

Ye Chen's voice was full of power, and it was also another solemn promise.

"Um!"

"Then from now on, wherever brother goes, Ruoxi will follow!"

Ruoxi nodded vigorously, raised her head with tearful eyes and looked at Ye Chen.

Looking at Ye Chen's handsome face, some scattered images flashed through my mind.

The images were blurry, yet strangely familiar.

There is also such a moonlit night in the picture, and she once snuggled so intimately in the arms of a man, and that man was the brother in front of her.

Even closer than now!

There are also some clips of fighting side by side and bloody battles.

These scenes seem to have happened a long, long time ago, as distant as another reincarnation!

Ruoxi frowned slightly, her heart filled with confusion.

This strange feeling only appeared after she started practicing the "Nine-Turn Ice Heart Art" taught by her brother.

Especially after forming the golden elixir, these inexplicable images and sense of familiarity became more frequent and clearer.

Moreover, she could learn the "Nine-Turn Ice Heart Art" almost at a glance, and there was no bottleneck in her practice, and it came naturally.

It was as if she had practiced this technique thousands of times, and it had long been engraved deep in her soul and become an instinct of her body.

Ruoxi couldn't figure out what was going on, but she didn't delve into it because she believed in her brother.

From the first moment she saw her brother, he gave her a very familiar and intimate feeling.

It seems like a destined bond, an attraction imprinted deep in the soul.

Ruoxi just raised her head and looked at Ye Chen infatuatedly.

The affection in his eyes was like a fine wine that had been brewing for a thousand years, so strong that it almost overflowed and could not be dissolved.

She knew very well that her heart had completely fallen and she could no longer...lose herself from him.

For the person in front of her, she can give everything, even her life!

Looking at Ye Chen's face so close to her and feeling his warm breath, Ruoxi's heart beat like a drum, faster and faster.

A strong impulse was growing wildly in her heart, entangled with her reason, and was difficult to suppress.

Next second!

Ruoxi could no longer suppress the throbbing in her heart, so she mustered up her courage and leaned her little head forward.

The soft red lips, with a hint of girlish shyness, gently pressed against Ye Chen's lips!

!!

Ye Chen's body suddenly stiffened, his pupils dilated slightly, and he was obviously at a loss.

He never expected that this girl would suddenly become so bold!

But, I like it very much!

The soft touch, with the unique sweet scent of a young girl, instantly ignited the long-dormant emotions.

However, Ruoxi's movements seemed extremely awkward.

After the red lips touched hers, she froze there, her little face as red as a ripe apple, so beautiful and tempting.

Her long eyelashes trembled nervously, not knowing what to do next.

She just followed her inner instinct and did what she most desired.

Ye Chen reacted immediately.

Feeling the sweetness of the girl's red lips, his heart was filled with pity and excitement, turning passivity into activity.

He gently put his arm around Ruoxi's soft waist, held her in his arms, and responded warmly.

The moment Ye Chen embraced her waist, Ruoxi's delicate body trembled slightly, almost imperceptibly.

An electric shock-like tingling sensation instantly spread throughout her body, making her feel numb all over.

She closed her eyes obediently, letting Ye Chen take what he wanted, feeling his domineering yet gentle breath.

A shy smile involuntarily appeared on the girl's face.

Her rosy face looks even more charming and beautiful in the moonlight, so beautiful that it is heart-wrenching.

The cold moonlight shines down, lengthening the figures of the two people hugging and kissing, freezing them into a beautiful and moving picture.

Xiaodie, who was hiding in a corner of the courtyard and eavesdropping on their conversation, quickly covered her eyes with her hands when she saw them kissing.

However, the gaps between their fingers were too wide, and his eyes slipped out through them, peeking at the two people kissing.

A blush crept onto that almost flawless face.
