Purple and gold light emanated from the snowball.
boom!
The snowball exploded.
The nearby snow-capped mountains trembled.
In the snow, Qin Luo held Hua Ying tightly. They were so close that they could feel each other's breath.
Hua Ying's magic couldn't harm Qin Luo; she could only struggle in his arms, writhing like a beautiful snake.
Qin Luo could only hug her tighter, and they got closer and closer until their noses accidentally touched.
The flower shadows suddenly fell silent.
It felt like an electric shock, my whole body was numb.
Qin Luo looked at her stunningly beautiful face, flawless, with pale purple eyes like a sea of stars.
Hua Ying smelled very sweet and had a very soft body.
"You're quite good-looking."
Qin Luo blurted it out.
He didn't mean anything by it.
Hua Ying's pretty face flushed red. She suddenly felt that Qin Luo's embrace was very warm, a warmth she had never felt before.
Their eyes met.
The snow suddenly became quiet.
"Cough cough!"
The voice of the purple-haired fairy rang in my ears.
Qin Luo snapped out of his daze, released Hua Ying, and looked at her somewhat dazed eyes. "Do you still want to run away?"
"Get up first!"
Hua Ying's eyes darted away.
She felt a sense of unease.
Qin Luo stood up and looked at the surrounding snow-capped mountains with delight. "Your teleportation location is quite good. We are near the Purple Cloud Mountains, not far from the Dragon Tiger Temple."
Hua Ying sat in the snow, her purple dress slightly disheveled, her purple hair scattered on the snow, her pretty face flushed, her eyes filled with coldness, a mixture of shame and anger.
"Come with me!"
Qin Luo reached out his hand to her.
Hua Ying looked up, and the young Taoist's smile made her feel as if she were bathed in a spring breeze. She couldn't help but reach out her hand.
Qin Luo led Hua Ying by the hand toward Longhu Temple, mainly because he was afraid she would run away, and chasing after her would be too troublesome.
The flower shadows were only noticed belatedly.
How could I be so obedient as to go with him?
She was still holding my hand!
The young Taoist priest beside him was handsome and dashing, deserving of praise for his unparalleled elegance and refined demeanor.
impossible!
Hua Ying dared not think any further.
But that old Taoist priest really did have some skill.
Throughout the journey, the young Taoist priest neither spoke nor looked at her, but simply held her hand and continued on his way.
Hua Ying only had eyes for the young Taoist priest. She took the initiative to speak, "My name is Hua Ying. I come from the Imperial Observatory. If the Dragon Tiger Temple arrests me, I will be in big trouble."
“My name is Qin Luo, and I come from Longhu Temple. If the Imperial Observatory comes looking for trouble, I’ll be in big trouble too.”
Qin Luo turned around and smiled.
Hua Ying was somewhat lost in thought, but she quickly came to her senses. "You appointed the river god of the Jinsha River?"
"Yes."
Qin Luo nodded slightly.
He felt a connection with the little loach.
Hua Ying looked at the young Taoist priest, her beautiful eyes narrowing slightly, "How are you able to borrow the power of the Taoist Ancestor?"
Qin Luo smiled slightly, "Our Dragon Tiger Temple worships the Dao Ancestor. Is it too much to confer deities in the name of the Dao Ancestor?"
“The Imperial Decree will cause a lot of trouble.”
"I know."
Qin Luo also dislikes trouble.
What brings you to the North?
"My master discovered that the fortune of the Great Xia royal family is dissipating, and sent me to the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion to check the situation."
What did you find?
"No."
...
evening.
Sunset Peak, Dragon and Tiger Temple.
Ziyue sat on the mountain path outside the Taoist temple, her hands cupping her face, hoping that her senior brother would return soon.
"Senior brother!"
Zi Yue saw Qin Luo.
"Tell Master that I have brought her back."
"Alright!"
Ziyue happily ran into the Taoist temple.
"Master, the three hundred taels have returned!"
"..."
Hua Ying was somewhat speechless.
What does this little girl take her for?
Qin Luo led Hua Ying to the backyard, looked at her, and said with a smile, "You can let go now."
After being reminded, Hua Ying finally realized what was happening. She gripped Qin Luo's hand tightly and said, "Hmph!"
Hua Ying let go of his hand, perhaps because the young Taoist's hand was too warm, so she unconsciously wanted to hold it tighter.
I was so stupid!
Hua Ying felt very embarrassed. She didn't dare to look Qin Luo in the eye, afraid that he would laugh at her.
Qin Luo didn't seem to care.
Zhang Fulong walked unhurriedly to the backyard, his deep eyes fixed on Hua Ying. "Little girl, the techniques you cultivate belong to the Dao Ancestor lineage. Who is your master?"
Hua Ying answered truthfully, "My master is the Grand Preceptor of the Great Xia Dynasty. That's all I know."
What is your master's name?
"I have no idea."
Ziyue tilted her head.
She didn't even know what her master's name was.
Zhang Fulong closed his eyes and made a finger count again, while Qin Luo and the others watched quietly from the side.
"Cough cough."
Zhang Fulong suddenly coughed up blood. He opened his eyes and said, "Huaying, Huaying, so that's how it is."
"Master, how are you?"
Qin Luo was somewhat worried.
"It's alright!"
Zhang Fulong waved his hand calmly.
Hua Ying's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and she asked respectfully, "Senior, what did you predict for me this time?"
"Heavenly secrets must not be revealed!"
"I'll pay more."
"This is not about money."
Zhang Fulong formed a hand seal, and a Bagua diagram appeared in front of him. The Bagua diagram flew into Hua Ying's body. "Little girl, write a letter to your master and ask him to come to Longhu Temple to redeem you."
Hua Ying discovered that her power was sealed. She pouted, somewhat displeased, "Senior, aren't you afraid that my master will tear down the Dragon Tiger Temple?"
Zhang Fulong smiled, narrowing his eyes. "Hahaha, even if you gave him ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare!"
Hua Ying's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. Her master was the Grand Preceptor of the Great Xia Dynasty, second only to the emperor, yet she was being looked down upon.
