"why are you laughing?"
Catching the curve of his lips, Qu Li frowned.
"without."
Qu Li held his face. She was indeed worried that he was seriously injured just now, but now seeing him smiling like this, she was not too worried anymore.
"Tell the truth." She spoke very slowly, enunciating each word.
"I think it's fine for me to be with Li'er even without your father."
As he finished speaking, he felt a poke in the forehead by a finger as thin as a scallion.
He held her hand and gently stroked the back of her hand with his fingertips.
It was like an electric current that numbed his heart. Qu Li couldn't help but tremble slightly, and his heartbeat became faster and faster.
"Li'er, I can't wait any longer."
"Don't talk nonsense."
She now suspected that Feng Yi had either drunk honey or attended some kind of sweet talk cram school. How could he be so good at it?
Feng Yi's eyes and eyebrows were gentle, like a pool of spring water, enough to drown her.
"You can't look at me like that."
Qu Li, who was always cold and ruthless, blushed for a rare moment, and was so embarrassed that he wished a huge crack would appear on the ground.
Feng Yi stretched out his arms, took her into his arms and hugged her tightly.
Qu Li was so tense that even his breathing became disordered.
She could clearly feel the changes in his body and felt like she was in a hot furnace.
"Don't move, I'll just hold you!" Feng Yi's voice was hoarse, and even the breath next to her ear was hot.
She was afraid that Feng Yi could not control himself, so she could only let him hold her.
Feng Yi relaxed for a while, and the thoughts that were clamoring in his body completely disappeared.
Qu Li also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He loosened his arm, coughed twice, and changed the subject to ease the awkwardness.
"Your father's internal strength is truly terrifying."
"I'll use silver needles to suppress his internal energy."
Even if their punches hit the flesh, it won't hurt seriously.
"However, you must also promise me that you will not use your internal energy on my father."
Feng Yi immediately said with a strong desire to survive, "How desperate must I be to want to attack my future father-in-law?"
"That's more like it."
Obviously, the title "father-in-law" is very common, but when it comes from Feng Yi's mouth, there is an indescribable feeling.
Her thoughts were drifting away when Feng Yi pinched her cheek, forcing her to bring her thoughts back to reality.
"I'm going to do it now."
After sealing Changsun Wuque's internal energy with a silver needle, Feng Yi mentioned the very strange mural just now.
"Li'er, you really didn't feel any discomfort when you stood in front of that mural just now?"
This really left Feng Yi puzzled.
"No."
“I stand in front of that mural and I get dizzy.”
Qu Li turned his eyes away, "Really? I just saw the people inside moving."
The more Feng Yi listened, the stranger it seemed to him.
When he looked at it, he felt dizzy. Why did Qu Li see someone, a moving person, when he looked at it? This was inexplicable.
"Wait until your father wakes up and ask him."
"good."
As he spoke, Changsun Wuque slowly opened his eyes.
The messy and chaotic memory fragments in his mind seemed to be increasing. He seemed to see Li Ran being held hostage, standing on the edge of a steep cliff.
"Ranran!"
His gaze fell on Qu Li's face, and his eyes suddenly brightened, then quickly dimmed again.
He is just someone who looks very similar to Ranran, but not Ranran himself!
Qu Li had been paying attention to his expression and naturally did not miss the disappointment in his eyes.
"Did you remember something?"
Changsun Wuque dodged completely subconsciously, no longer showing the gentle and doting attitude he had just shown.
"You think I look a lot like Li Ran, right?"
"How do you know Ranran? Do you know her?" There was a hint of vigilance and inquiry in Changsun Wuque's eyes.
"Take a close look at my face. Besides looking very similar to Li Ran, doesn't it also look like you?"
To prove it, she even took out a mirror from the space.
Looking at the two people who looked very similar in the mirror, Changsun Wuque's pupils trembled.
"Dad!" Qu Li coaxed, "Do you still remember the little girl next to Li Ran when you went to Dagan to visit her more than ten years ago?"
Changsun Wuque couldn't believe it, his lips twitching violently with excitement.
"You are Li'er!"
Qu Li nodded.
Feng Yi on the side finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that he is no longer confused and has remembered Li Ran.
"Yes, I'm Qu Li."
Zhang Sun Wuque took a half step back in disbelief. "How did you suddenly grow so big? Where's your mother?"
Qu Li's throat felt a little dry, "My mother is dead!"
Buzz——
Something seemed to suddenly shatter in Changsun Wuque's mind.
His pupils dilated, "How is that possible?"
"Dad, have you been staying here for the past ten years? Have you ever tried to go out? There's a mural over there. Did you notice anything wrong?"
Changsun Wuque was still immersed in the grief of having completely lost Li Ran, and did not hear clearly what Qu Li said.
Feng Yi walked forward and gently held her shoulders: "Don't worry too much, give him some time to digest these negative emotions first."
Putting himself in his shoes, if he were trapped here alone, his situation might not be much better than Changsun Wuque's.
"Um."
Changsun Wuque sat quietly in the corner, his eyes filled with sorrow and grief.
Qu Li came to the mural again and said, "If I show any abnormality, you must wake me up."
Feng Yi didn't want her to take any risks, but he had to agree.
After all, this mural may contain the secrets of this underwater palace and how they left.
"Okay. I'm thinking that whoever built this underwater palace would never have trapped themselves to death here. Perhaps the method is hidden in this mural."
Feng Yi was very nervous at the moment, and his palms were full of sweat as he held Qu Li's hands.
"Ayi, don't be nervous."
She and Feng Yi both looked at the mural, but only she saw a swaying figure in it.
As for Changsun Wuque, if he had also seen the people in this mural, he would not have been trapped here for more than ten years.
"Then be careful."
"If you find anything wrong with me, remember to wake me up!" Qu Li smiled quite easily.
Feng Yi nodded solemnly.
She caught the tension and worry in his eyes, stood on tiptoe, and quickly touched her lips.
Feng Yi put his other arm around her waist, almost touching her lips, and said in a low voice: "Li'er, be careful."
She smiled, looked at herself reflected in his deep eyes, and replied softly: "With you by my side, I won't be afraid even if I have to climb mountains of swords or go through seas of fire!"
