The Ancient Tree of Ten Thousand Spirits is the foundation of the Azure Wood Dao Sect, the national guardian sect of the Spirit Wood Dynasty, and possesses abundant wood element energy comparable to the Azure Vein.
Seeing this towering tree again after so long, even Shen Yunhao himself felt as if he had been through another world.
Putting everything else aside, it's no exaggeration to say that this secluded paradise at the bottom of the abyss was a turning point in his life.
For some, encountering the right people and things is the greatest fortune of their lives!
The same applies to Shen Yunhao.
With her spiritual energy nearly depleted, Zhu Li could only transform into a little white dragon and carry Shen Yunhao as they slowly flew closer to the edge of the Heavenly Abyss. Suddenly, Shen Yunhao asked, "Sister Li'er! Did you discover this place a long time ago?"
Why do you ask that?
"When you were being hunted down by the Demonic Sect, you fled to this place. If it weren't for this secluded spot, you would probably have been captured by the Demonic Sect long ago. Such a secluded place couldn't have been just a coincidence, could it?"
When the matter was brought up, Zhuli was also somewhat emotional.
"I did discover this place by chance a long time ago. One entrance is under an ancient tree and is extremely difficult to find. The other entrance requires entering the Ming River. In the Ming River, one's divine sense cannot expand, so finding the hidden cave entrance is naturally even more difficult."
"I guess I was lucky to hide here and not be discovered by those people... But as the old saying goes, fortune and misfortune are intertwined. If I hadn't suffered this calamity, how could I have met you?"
Shen Yunhao's eyes lit up: "Sister Li'er, are you saying that I'm your lucky star?"
"Pah! You're a jinx! If it weren't for saving my life, who would even bother with you!"
"Hehehe! After today, this life-saving grace can no longer be used as a topic of conversation."
"Why?"
"Because someone is going to repay you tenfold..."
“Surge…surge…”
"Hey! Hey! What are you doing? Stop shaking me! I'm going to fall!"
Amidst the playful bickering, Zhuli returned to the bottom of the cave through the entrance above!
After landing, Shen Yunhao looked at the familiar scenery around him and was about to reminisce when he saw the little white dragon coiled at the bottom of the cave, its huge dragon body stretched out, and it hesitated to change back into human form.
"What...you want to use this to...ouch!"
Shen Yunhao was about to make some more sarcastic remarks when he was swept away by a tail.
"I'm tired after flying for so long, I need to rest!"
The little white dragon whimpered and huddled in the corner, its originally pure white scales below its neck now tinged with a slight red.
When the moment actually arrived, Sister Li'er became shy...
Shen Yunhao chuckled softly, not in a hurry, and snuggled up to her neck, resting his head against her mane.
Zhu Li blinked: "What, are you tired too?"
Shen Yunhao shook his head, looking at the sunlight streaming into the cave entrance not far away. "I just think... this is good, really good. Nowhere else is as comfortable as staying here!"
"..."
The little white dragon's shy purple eyes gradually warmed, and she tilted her head to lean against him without saying a word.
"By the way, Sister Li'er... where's Egg Boy?"
When Shen Yunhao first fell into the ground, the creature that rescued him was a young clam spirit. It was hopping around and making cute little noises, and Shen Yunhao named it Egg Boy.
"I brought Egg Boy back to Beihai..."
As if struck by a thought, Zhu Li suddenly teased, "What? You also want to repay someone's life-saving grace by offering yourself in return?"
"You're talking nonsense again!"
Shen Yunhao raised his hand and patted the dragon horn: "How can I repay a little boy with my body?"
"Little boy?"
Zhu Li was stunned for a moment, but then she understood what was going on and pursed her lips without saying a word.
"Egg Boy... can he, a little imp, have a good life in Beihai?"
"Of course! That's my territory, who would dare bully her..." The little white dragon's tone was somewhat intriguing: "When you go to the North Sea one day and see her, you might be quite surprised!"
"Yeah?"
Shen Yunhao just smiled.
certainly……
Little White Dragon thought to himself, "What a fuss!"
If you're a female demon, you'll like everyone you meet...
"Sigh... Now that the little one is gone, what am I going to do when I'm hungry..."
"Eat, eat, eat! All you do all day is eat!"
"yes……"
Before Zhuli could continue teasing, Shen Yunhao had already turned over and hugged the dragon's body tightly.
"If Sister Li'er doesn't change back, I'm really going to starve to death here..."
"..."
Is this "hunger" really the same as the one before?
Can you really feed someone who has a large amount of grains?
Zhu Li didn't know.
But she knew that Shen Yunhao's undisguised thoughts left her no longer able to play dumb.
With the light and shadows flickering, the girl was pulled tightly into the boy's outstretched arms.
Even so, Zhu Li still turned her head away, her face flushed, and looked elsewhere.
"In broad daylight, what a little pervert..."
What's wrong with being a pervert?
Shen Yunhao pinched the girl's chin, making their gazes meet again.
As he watched, Shen Yunhao parted his lips slightly.
"Li'er..."
There is no such "sister".
Only a simple "Li'er"...
Zhu Li's eyes widened suddenly. In that instant, she felt her heart pounding rapidly, and a warm current spread from within, flowing through her limbs and bones.
The phrase she had been repeating throughout finally crumbled at this moment.
At this moment, she was no longer his sister...
"Li'er..."
The boy raised his hand and gently stroked the frosty white hair.
"You know what? I never believed those stories about fairies descending to the mortal world before. They were just fabrications to attract attention and deceive themselves."
"But it wasn't until I met you that I realized... that the stars in the sky, which seem so far away, can actually be plucked down and held in the palm of your hand."
The girl felt a sweet warmth in her heart, and her eyes flushed. "I can't believe it either. There are such foolish people in the world who would so easily believe these wicked lies..."
Shen Yunhao shook his head, "I don't need anyone to believe what I'm saying, except you..."
"It doesn't matter if you're silly or not, as long as you believe it, it's true!"
"Loving someone can make you incredibly foolish..."
“Li’er… even if it’s a dream, even if it’s unreal, I will believe it’s real, because… I love… um…”
Including the previous two times, this should be the first time that Zhuli has taken the initiative to initiate a kiss.
A girl's shyness is like a flower just beginning to bloom in spring, budding and delicate with dewdrops, making one want to gently protect it.
Zhu Li recalled the question Shen Yunhao had asked her earlier.
When did she start to like Shen Yunhao?
In fact, she thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't find the answer.
It wasn't until this moment that she understood... that many things don't need answers; he loved her, and she loved him.
This is more important than anything else.
