Xue Qing leaned gently against his chest, feeling the warmth coming from his body, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
Yes, the sunrise was beautiful, but what intoxicated her even more was the tranquility and peace of mind she felt at the moment.
The two of them hugged each other quietly until the sun completely jumped out of the horizon, dyeing the whole world golden.
"Let's go, it's time to set off." Chen Yang took Xue Qing's hand and walked out of the inn.
The check-out process was simple and quick. The shopkeeper looked at the two people walking side by side, a hint of envy flashing in his eyes.
This perfect couple, the man is extraordinarily handsome and the woman is elegant and refined, they are truly a match made in heaven.
"Brother Chen Yang, what do you think the Qinglian Holy Land will look like now after hundreds of years?"
Walking out of the inn, Xue Qing asked curiously.
Chen Yang and Xue Qing walked out of the inn, but instead of flying on their swords, they chose a more leisurely way - walking.
"Qing'er, how long has it been since we last strolled on the street like this?" Chen Yang turned his head and looked at Xue Qing beside him, his eyes full of tenderness.
"It seems...ever since we first met a thousand years ago, I've been busy practicing and rarely have this much leisure time."
Xue Qing smiled slightly, like a spring breeze blowing, and the flowers bloomed.
"Yeah, in the blink of an eye, such a long time has passed."
"Back then, I was just a young boy, and you were a renowned and proud daughter..."
There was a hint of reminiscence and emotion in Chen Yang's tone.
"Back then, you were so arrogant that you threatened to challenge all geniuses and become the best in the world!"
Talking about the past, Xue Qing was no longer cold, she covered her mouth and chuckled, but there was a hint of anger in her eyes.
"Haha, just young and reckless!"
Chen Yang scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed in front of the ancients.
The two of them strolled along the bluestone-paved streets, feeling the vicissitudes and prosperity of this thousand-year-old city.
On both sides of the street, the shouts of vendors, the laughter of children, and the faint aroma of tea and wine interweave into a picture of the world.
The two of them just strolled along the bluestone-paved street, speechless for a moment.
As they walked, Chen Yang suddenly stopped. He looked up at the sky, then at Xue Qing, and made a suggestion.
"Qing'er, let's buy a carriage. I wanted to try it a few years ago."
Xue Qing naturally had no objection, so the two of them found a carriage shop on the side of the road and bought a relatively spacious and comfortable carriage.
Chen Yang naturally became the groom.
Finally having some free time, the two chatted like ordinary people, from the general situation of the world to strange stories, from their experiences in cultivation to family matters, which made the journey more interesting.
At this time, on a towering tree thousands of miles away, a one-eyed strong man was holding a ghost-head sword and staring coldly in the direction of Chen Yang.
The aura around him was cold and terrifying, like an evil spirit from the Nine Nether Hell, which made people shudder.
"Chen Yang, you finally decided to come out..." the one-eyed strong man said gritting his teeth, his eyes full of greed.
On both sides of the official road, ancient trees are towering with lush branches and leaves, like huge green umbrellas, shielding the passers-by from the scorching sun.
The carriage that Chen Yang and Xue Qing were riding in was moving slowly. The wheels rolled over the fallen leaves, making a slight creaking sound, which added a bit of vitality to the quiet forest.
"Qing'er, let's rest here for a while." Chen Yang lifted the car curtain and said to Xue Qing in the car.
Xue Qing nodded slightly and walked out of the car.
She was wearing a light blue dress today, with her long black hair tied up with a white jade hairpin. Her skin was whiter than snow, her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and she looked like the Queen Mother of the West who had come down to earth, incredibly beautiful.
Chen Yang took out the tea set that had been prepared long ago from the carriage and skillfully brewed tea. Soon, the fragrance of tea filled the air, refreshing the heart.
"Brother Chen Yang, this tea is so fragrant."
Xue Qing sniffed the fragrance of tea, a faint smile appearing on the corner of her mouth, like a hundred flowers blooming, intoxicating.
Chen Yang looked at Xue Qing with eyes full of doting, and said with a smile: "Haha, as long as Qing'er likes it."
The two of them just like this, you each drink a cup, slowly sipping the fragrant tea and enjoying this rare quiet time.
Occasionally, we look at each other and smile, and without saying much, we understand each other.
However, behind this seemingly calm and peaceful scene, there is a murderous intent hidden.
On a towering tree not far from Chen Yang and the others, a one-eyed strong man was hiding among the dense branches and leaves, staring at them coldly.
This person was one of the killers who received the bounty order from the Floating Light Holy Land. He had long forgotten his real name, and those who knew him called him Dugu Can.
He was a well-known lone killer in the underworld, known for his ruthlessness and killing.
The bounty issued by the Floating Light Holy Land this time has a reward so generous that it is simply unheard of.
Dugu Can was initially worried that the target was too powerful, so he formed a team with several other killers and planned to act together.
However, when he saw Chen Yang and Xue Qing with his own eyes, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
"Just based on these two brats, do they deserve such a generous reward?"
"The people of Floating Light Holy Land are really going backwards as they grow older!"
Dugu Can secretly mocked himself in his heart.
He carefully observed Chen Yang and Xue Qing and found that although they had a calm aura.
But his cultivation level is obviously not high, he is just at the foundation-building stage.
He licked his lips, his eyes gleaming with greed.
Originally, he was thinking of sharing the reward with the others, but now it seems that there is no need for that at all!
Dugu Can decided that when Chen Yang and the other two let down their guard, he would catch them all in one fell swoop and take all the rewards for himself!
He held his breath and completely restrained his aura, like a poisonous snake, quietly waiting for the best opportunity.
Dugu Can was not worried that he could not defeat the other party.
But he was afraid that if he took action, he would scare the two younger ones. What if one of them ran away?
Dugu Can hid in the treetops, looking at the two people below who were showing affection, and sneered in his heart.
This guy is so lucky to have such a beautiful woman by his side. It's a pity that he will die here today.
He touched the ghost-head sword at his waist. This sword had been with him for many years, and at least eight hundred souls had died under it.
The blade was pitch black, and no one knew what material it was made of. It faintly emitted a disgusting bloody smell.
Dugu Can licked his lips, as if he had already seen the scene of Chen Yang and the other two being chopped off by him like melons and vegetables.
He decided to wait until the two of them took a nap before taking action, so that he could be sure of success and keep all the bounty for himself.
"Brother Chen Yang, this tea is really delicious. It's a pity that we left in a hurry and didn't bring much."
Xue Qing put down the teacup, her eyes moving around, indescribably charming and attractive.
