The long-forgotten tragic scene emerged clearly in his mind: the dragon clan, the self-proclaimed noble and powerful race, in order to sever the red line between him and Qingyao, actually attempted to use the strength of the entire clan to slaughter the fox clan.
Yun Ao knew very well that if he did not take extreme measures, Qingyao and even the entire fox clan would be wiped out in this endless killing.
So, at the moment of life and death, he resolutely sacrificed himself, using his soul as a guide and his life as the price to perform the forbidden technique - Thousand Miles of Ice.
As the spell was activated, bone-chilling cold spread from his body to the surroundings, freezing everything wherever it went.
The dragon army was instantly imprisoned by the ice spikes, and their terrified expressions were forever frozen at that moment. The mountains, rivers, flowers, trees, and even birds and beasts within a thousand miles around were ruthlessly caught up in this ice and snow catastrophe and became the burial objects of this war.
In the bone-chilling seal, Yun Ao's consciousness gradually dissipated. He thought that he would sleep forever under the endless ice and snow, separated from Qingyao forever.
But the gears of fate were turning quietly. Qingyao, the woman he had been thinking about all the time, relied on her strong will and deep attachment to him to overcome numerous obstacles and found his frozen body.
She used her powerful spiritual power as a source of fire, melting the ice bit by bit, carefully piecing together Yun Ao's broken soul, and nourishing his dried-up life with love and tenderness.
Qingyao restored Yun Ao's body to its original state. Although his spiritual power was lost, the fire of life was ignited again.
Now, Yun Ao slowly opened his eyes, with complex light flashing in his eyes. The past love, hatred, life and death, separation, flashed before his eyes like a kaleidoscope.
He knew that although he had saved his life, if he wanted to regain his former peak strength, he still needed to retreat in this quiet corner, reabsorb the spiritual power between heaven and earth, and repair the damaged spiritual veins.
And Qingyao, the woman who gave everything for him, always stayed by his side silently, like the guardian angel in his life.
Yun Ao secretly swore that this time, he would protect her and never let her suffer any harm. Even if it meant making the whole world his enemy, he would never back down.
Qingyao sat quietly in front of the window, holding the jade pendant that Yun Ao had given her in her hand. Her thoughts drifted back to ten thousand years ago. When the truth came like a tide, the dusty past finally became clear.
It turned out that Yun Ao left that year in order to face the huge crisis that was enough to overthrow the two clans alone. He took on everything on his own just to protect her.
The moment she learned the truth, Qingyao felt mixed emotions. Her past resentment disappeared in an instant, replaced by endless heartache and attachment.
And since then, Yun Ao seemed to want to make up for the separation of ten thousand years. He always followed Qing Yao closely and called her "wife".
In the early morning, before the first ray of sunlight fully illuminated the room, Yun Ao would gently hug Qingyao who was still sleeping, and whisper in her ear: "My wife, wake up, it's a new day, I can't wait to spend it with you." Qingyao scolded him sleepily, but never pushed him away.
During the day, Yun Ao would take Qing Yao for a stroll in the mountains. When he saw a beautiful flower, he would pick it and put it in Qing Yao's hair, saying with a smile, "My wife is already as beautiful as a fairy, and with this flower, I can't take my eyes off her."
Qingyao's cheeks were slightly red, and she said "you're just a chatterbox", but her eyes were full of sweetness.
When cooking, Yun Ao refused to leave even a step, insisting on helping out. He would either knock over the pot or spill the seasoning. Qing Yao feigned anger and glared at him, "You're only making things worse. Go sit over there."
Yun Ao, however, hugged her from behind like a spoiled child: "No, I just want to be with my wife."
At night, the two sat on the roof to watch the moon. Yun Ao held Qingyao's hand tightly, as if he was afraid that she would disappear again.
Qingyao leaned on his shoulder and whispered, "Ayun, being so clingy is not like you before."
Yun Ao rubbed his chin against the top of her head and said gently, "My dear, the time we spent apart was too painful. Now I just want to be with you all the time and never be apart again."
Qingyao murmured softly, "Why is this guy so clingy?" However, the slightly raised corners of her mouth and the twinkle in her eyes could not hide her inner happiness. At this moment, the cat who had transformed into Xiaoyi looked at the sweet couple pitifully, as if he had become a big, shining light bulb.
Not long after, Yun Ao found an excuse and ruthlessly sent Xiaoyi out to gain experience.
He even said that he wanted to train Xiaoyi's abilities, but in fact everyone knew that he just felt that Xiaoyi was always hanging around between him and Qingyao, disturbing their good time.
After all, Yun Ao was a dragon. Like foxes, dragons were naturally passionate and persistent about love. So, ever since he met Qing Yao, Yun Ao had been dying to be by her side all the time, never wanting to be apart for even a moment.
Look, on the top of the mountain, the hot spring water is full of mist, lingering around like a dream. Qingyao is soaking in the hot spring comfortably, her snow-white skin and jade-like bones are faintly visible under the clear spring water, and a few strands of hair are clinging to her white neck, adding a bit of charm.
Just as she closed her eyes to rest, she suddenly heard the sound of footsteps. Qingyao opened her eyes alertly and saw Yun Ao with a sly smile on his face, his eyes full of passionate love and doting.
Without saying a word, he quickly took off his clothes, revealing his strong and well-defined chest. He slowly stepped into the hot spring and walked towards Qingyao.
