The boatman's boathouse is not big, only big enough for two people.

The advantage of the boat is that it has a shed on the hull, and the top is decorated with angular eaves, which is quite unique.

After Su Changzhao and Yu Jiuchen came in, they sat side by side.

Su Changzhao knew what would happen in a while, so he switched seats with Yu Jiuchen.

But after sitting down, she thought about it carefully and realized that this would not change anything.

After hearing her inner thoughts, Yu Jiuchen became more and more curious about what her "masterstroke" arrangement was.

It is a sunny day today. The gentle breeze brings the moisture from the river surface into the dock, which is refreshing.

The sunlight came in obliquely, and Yu Jiuchen took a glance and saw that the sunlight illuminated every tiny hair on Su Changzhao's face.

Those fine little hairs wrapped around her slightly red cheeks made her look like a sweet peach.

“…”

Gulp~

I swallowed subconsciously, and an impulse arose in my heart.

The head involuntarily moved closer to the person next to him.

But, when I think of the fact that Su Changzhao seems to be resistant to being too clingy recently.

He held back his anger as he clenched his hands on his knees.

After a while.

[Are we almost there? That means the first wave of assists is coming.] Su Changzhao looked out the window and became worried.

“???” Yu Jiuchen couldn’t help feeling confused.

Just then, the boat shook violently.

Yu Jiuchen couldn't help but fall towards Su Changzhao and pinned her against the wall.

Eyes met.

The hot breaths between them mixed together, and the atmosphere immediately became ambiguous.

Just as Yu Jiuchen was staring at Su Changzhao's lips, he slowly lowered his head.

The boatman's voice came from outside.

"Sorry, there was a boat next to us just now, and it almost hit us. Are you two guests okay?"

The boatman's explanation suddenly diluted the ambiguity in the tent.

Yu Jiuchen didn't say anything.

Su Changzhao had no choice but to respond: "We are fine~"

Hearing this, the boatman said no more and concentrated on rowing.

Yu Jiuchen and Su Changzhao sat back in their original seats, as if nothing had happened just now.

To avoid being embarrassed, Su Chang started a conversation: "The weather is nice today."

"Um."

"This is my first time riding a boat with someone, how about you?"

"Same."

[Emm… When did this silly dog ​​become so silent? Didn’t he say sweet words in the past? ]

“…”

Yu Jiuchen wanted to say: I'm afraid if I say too much, I won't be able to control myself~

But since his beloved wants to hear it, what's the harm in him telling it?

He grabbed Su Changzhao's hand and put it between his palms: "What do you want to hear, Changzhao?"

"..."Su Changzhao blinked.

[Silly dog ​​reacts pretty quickly~]

With a sweet feeling in her heart, she immediately said, "Just tell me, when did you fall in love with me?"

"Haha." Yu Jiuchen smiled brightly, "Let me think about it, when?"

Su Changzhao stared at him, and after he thought for a while, he heard him say seriously: "After the sacrifice to the heaven."

Strictly speaking, it should be listening to your inner voice, finding out that you come from another world, and starting to pay special attention to you.

The more attention you pay, the more attracted you are.

You saved me time and again. Although I knew you were doing it to change your own ending as a villain, you risked your life to protect me several times, especially during the royal hunting. You fell into a crack in the ground. You knew I would be fine, but you still pushed me up without hesitation, and fell into the abyss with the python.

In fact, after Su Changzhao fell down that day, Yu Jiuchen also jumped down.

"Long moves, long moves, long moves..."

Yu Jiuchen was concerned about Su Changzhao's safety.

Despite being cut by the sharp spikes of the stalagmites, he found the giant python's corpse.

He cut open the giant python's belly, even at the risk of being contaminated by the poisonous snake blood, he was determined to find Su Changzhao who was swallowed by the giant python.

"Long moves, long moves, long moves..."

He was almost insane, slashing at the giant python with his knife...

It was also from that day that he understood his own feelings.

Looking at the beautiful face in front of him, Yu Jiuchen gently stroked her cheek.

Now being able to look at her like this and be with her really feels like a dream.

Su Changzhao saw a complicated look in his eyes, but he could still feel that he liked him.

Then he asked again: "So early?"

"Um."

"So did you find out I was a woman first, or did you fall in love with me first?"

"Is there any difference?"

"Of course there is. The difference is huge." He narrowed his eyes and said in a gentle and persuasive way, "Tell me what you want~"

Yu Jiuchen couldn't persuade his wife, so he had to tell the truth: "Yes... I fell in love with you first."

"Haha, I knew it." [The dog emperor is really popular with both men and women~]

"..." Yu Jiuchen felt indignant and held Su Changzhao's face and kissed him hard.

"Hmm~" Su Changzhao was kissed unexpectedly and didn't react at once.

Only after Yu Jiuchen let her go did she get a chance to breathe.

Before she could say anything, she saw Yu Jiuchen staring at her eyes affectionately and said, "I said, I love you, no matter you are a man or a woman. No other men or other women are allowed. I will only do things like what I just did, including even more excessive things, with you alone."

Every time Yu Jiuchen spoke, his tone seemed to be soaked in honey, and she was the only one in his words and eyes.

Su Changzhao seemed to be enveloped by his deep affection.

“…………”

[This silly dog ​​is too good at flirting. The key is that he is affectionate and loyal, has both literary and military skills, and is the emperor who will unify the seven kingdoms in the future. He also has such a handsome face... He confesses his true feelings every few days. Who can resist~]

"If you like to hear this, I can tell you every day."

"I don't want to. If I say too much, it will sound fake."

"Then can you trust my sincerity?" Yu Jiuchen asked when the opportunity arose.

Su Changzhao thought for a moment and said, "It depends on your performance later."

But in my heart: [I don't believe you, but I let you take advantage of me again and again? I haven't had the contraceptive soup for a long time, you are such a stupid dog. ]

Yu Jiuchen was extremely happy upon hearing that, "Long move." He hugged the other person into his arms, being especially gentle and cherishing.

Su Changzhao leaned in Yu Jiuchen's solid arms, smiling happily, but still warned: "You have to be nice to me all the time, okay?"

"I will, definitely." Yu Jiuchen nodded repeatedly in a naive manner.

"Then...if we have a child in the future, I mean just in case, you will be the one to take care of the child."

"good."

"So straightforward?" Su Changzhao pulled himself away from his arms. "What I mean is, I might... not go back to Yulong with you. If you really want to be with me, you'd better think it over carefully."

Yu Jiuchen had long known that Su Changzhao did not care about status, and would not give up his life just because he loved someone.

"Well, I've thought about it. When everything is over, I will move the capital."

"Move...move the capital?" [Is it so easy to move?] Su Changzhao was extremely surprised.

Yu Jiuchen smiled: "Yes, in order for our family to not be separated by thousands of miles and have difficulty seeing each other in the future, moving the capital is imperative. I know you can't let go of everyone in the ghost town, and you don't like the restricted life in the Royal Dragon Palace. Don't worry, you can always be your ghost king of the underworld, and the Royal Dragon Kingdom will always be your backing, the most solid and powerful backing. The position of queen will always be yours. Without you, I don't even need a harem. Whatever you want, your husband will help you achieve it."

Yu Jiuchen was as gentle and amiable as ever when he said this, but between the lines there was the majesty and tyranny of an imperial family.

For the first time, Su Changzhao felt that the person in front of him was the same person as the Dragon Emperor Yu Jiuchen in the original novel.

But his special favor and doting on her made her feel unreal for a while.

[How could a traitor like me actually fall in love with the hero of the original novel? ]

"But..." Su Changzhao thought, if Yu Jiuchen really moved the capital, what would the people of the world say about him?

Yu Jiuchen touched her head and hugged her again, "As long as it can bring peace to the world and the people have enough food and clothing, the people will not mind occasional willfulness."

Su Changzhao was speechless: [Are you sure? ]

"Of course, it doesn't matter if they mind. I am the king and I have the final say."

[Gah! This is the willfulness of the future emperor~]

Bang!

Suddenly there was a muffled sound outside and the boat shook violently.

Su Changzhao thought that it was just like what happened before, and the boatman deliberately made the noise in order to assist the two people in the boat.

"Boatman, what's wrong?" she asked symbolically.

But there was no sound outside.

Su Changzhao sensed something was wrong: [Not good! I forgot about the important matter while chatting.]

Just as Yu Jiuchen was wondering what the "important matter" in her mind was, Su Changzhao had already lifted the curtain and got out of the boat.

I saw that their boat had docked at the shore without me noticing.

The boatman had long disappeared.

After Yu Jiuchen followed out, he was tall and looked back.

"There he is!" he said of the boatman.

Su Changzhao then saw that, as expected, the boatman had already rowed away in another small boat.

When they found him, the boatman waved from a distance and said, "Young man, young lady, I have something urgent to do at home, so I have to leave first. Please stay on this island in the middle of the lake for one night, and I will pick you up tomorrow~"

Su Changzhao: “…”

Yu Jiuchen: “…”

·

City Lord's Mansion.

Xiao Qinsu rushed back to the mansion, took the medicine box directly, and rushed to Li Xing's courtyard.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw Li Xing lying on the bed covered in blood.

A boy about twelve or thirteen years old, who had traveled thousands of miles to find her, rushed to the bedside and shed tears.

“Lord Cold Ghost! Lord Cold Ghost! Wuuuuuu… He was fine when he left, how come he suddenly… Wuuuuuu…Lord Cold Ghost, wake up!”

Xiao Qinsu also followed quickly.

Seeing the naked Li Xing, his eyes were closed, his breathing was weak, and his expression immediately became solemn.

But the next second.

"I'm not dead yet... why are you crying?"

Li Xing suddenly opened his eyes, and his pale handsome face became more lively.

Seeing this, Xiao Qinsu breathed a sigh of relief.

The young man kneeling beside the bed immediately smiled and raised his sleeve to wipe away his tears: "I'm glad that Master Leng Gui is okay, I'm glad that he is okay."

Xiao Qinsu said softly: "It's too early to say that he's fine, but if you don't get out of the way and let me heal his wounds, he might end up in trouble."

"!!" The young man immediately made way, his eyes red, making the mole on the corner of his eye particularly clear.

Seeing Xiao Qinsu starting to treat Li Xing, the young man asked hurriedly: "Sister Xiao, is there anything Ping An can do?"

Xiao Qinsu didn't even turn her head back: "Go and boil some hot water, boil more, and then go to my room to get some cotton, get more."

"Okay, I'll go now." Lu Ping'an immediately trotted out.

Xiao Qinsu continued to check Li Xing's shoulder. "The wound is a little deep, but it didn't hurt his bones or muscles, and he wasn't poisoned. He won't die."

"..." Li Xing was speechless: "How long will it take for me to recover?"

"You are already injured like this, and you still want to work for Master Qiansui? Be careful that you will develop a chronic disease, and I won't be able to cure you."

Although they all changed their way of calling Su Changzhao the Ghost King outside, they still followed their old habit of calling her "Thousand Years Old" in private.

"..." Hearing the sarcasm in Xiao Qinsu's words, Li Xing turned his face away, expressionless and silent.

But after thinking about it, he said one thing: "I failed this mission."

Xiao Qinsu's hands paused, because generally speaking, the people who were carrying out the mission assigned by Su Changzhao were not allowed to tell anyone outside the mission.

But it is impossible for Li Xing not to know this rule. He is willing to speak it out at this moment, it must be because the matter is very serious.

The situation was so serious that he became anxious, so he wanted to find someone to give him some advice.

Xiao Qinsu said nothing, but just focused on cutting open the bloodstained clothes on his body.

Li Xing knew she was listening, so he continued, "This mission is to hunt down those people from Qing Country."

Xiao Qinsu knew that the dancer Yinxiu was raped by the Crown Prince of Qing, Yuan Shi'an, and she was also aware that with Su Changzhao's temper, he would never let that beast go easily.

So she was not surprised when Li Xing, the leader of the four ghosts, was sent to carry out the pursuit.

Xiao Qinsu continued to remain silent.

Li Xing continued, "I underestimated the tiger general of Qing. He was old, but he tried his best to hold me back, allowing Yuan Shian to escape.

Although Yuan Shian didn't see my face, he could definitely guess that I was a thousand-year-old man.

When he returns safely to Qing, Ghost Town may face a bloody war. "

a long time.

Xiao Qinsu had almost cut his shirt and began to clean his wounds.

While he was still working, he asked, "Are you done?"

Li Xing looked at her, still with no expression, but his eyes clearly said, the situation is so serious, why are you still so calm?

Just when he suspected that Xiao Qinsu was not wholeheartedly loyal to Ghost Town and Su Changzhao, Xiao Qinsu saw through his thoughts.

He took the lead and said, "Since the moment I chose to stay in Ghost Town, I have regarded Ghost Town as my home. Wherever Chitose is, I am there."

“…”

Seeing that Li Xing was still staring at her, Xiao Qinsu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Ghost City has plenty of backers. The Qing Kingdom is nothing to be afraid of."

"What do you mean?" Li Xing finally spoke, "Are you referring to Fenglai Kingdom? Empress Fenglai and King Baoque do have a close relationship with Master Qiansui, but the military strength of Qing Kingdom should not be underestimated...hiss..."

Halfway through his words, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his body, which was so painful that even someone as patient as him couldn't help but gasp.

But he soon discovered that when Xiao Qinsu saw him sniffing, there seemed to be a smile on her lips.

“…”

Others might not have noticed, but after more than a year of contact, Li Xing discovered that Xiao Qinsu was not as gentle and kind as she appeared in front of others.

Everyone was fooled by her harmless appearance!

Because every time he was injured, Xiao Qinsu would treat him, but every time she would use very strong medicine to treat his injuries, and every time he sniffed or hummed, Xiao Qinsu would always involuntarily reveal a little bit of... excitement on her face?
