With his protection, the fear in Cen Xue's heart gradually subsided. Leading the way, she looked at the sky and the howls of the wolves, ordering the Vermillion Bird and Black Turtle to inform everyone to speed up their pace. They had to use the shortest time possible to rush through this forest.

Although everyone was complaining incessantly, as they listened to the howling of the wolves, no one was willing to become the meal of a hungry wolf. The reins in their hands continued to tighten, and their legs clamped onto the belly of the horse, speeding out of the jungle.

As long as the sky was dark, every household would close their doors and rest. When the group arrived at the small town, it was very quiet, as if it was a dead city.

"Shopkeeper, open the door …" The Azure Dragon led the group to the biggest inn in town. After shouting for a long time, the waiter ran out and opened the door.

"Master, why are you so late?" The waiter looked towards the door. There were at least twenty people there.

"We'll take care of your restaurant tonight." The Azure Dragon took out a gold ingot from his body and gave it to him. When the waiter saw it, his eyes went straight as he shouted, "Shopkeeper, an important guest has arrived …"

The shopkeeper ran out as well and took the gold ingot from the waiter. He then ran to the Azure Dragon and asked, "Master, may I ask how many rooms you need? Since there are no guests staying in the store today, please choose your rooms."

Xuan Wu and the Vermillion Bird protected Helian Shan and Cen Xue as they walked in. The shopkeeper took a look and guessed that these two must be the real masterminds, right?

"Azure Dragon, how's the arrangement?" Helian Lie held Cen Xue in his arms. He only wanted to let her rest early.

"It's all settled. We've already reserved the store for tonight." The Azure Dragon turned around and replied to Helian Zhang.

He lowered his head and said to the God of Fortune, "The store is located in a small border town. The place is rather simple and crude, but the little shopkeeper on the second floor must have packed it quite well. Please follow me."

Helian Lie nodded and followed the shopkeeper up the stairs. He chose the best guest room on the second floor. Dancing Single Feather and Mu Yue also chose a room next door that they slept in after dinner.

In the middle of the night, Cen Xue could not fall asleep no matter how much she slept. Her feet always felt extremely cold. Perhaps it was because of the weather, but the border was located in a remote area so it was naturally colder.

"What's wrong? Is it still not warm enough?" Helian Lie asked worriedly, feeling that she had not been sleeping well enough.

Cen Xue nodded and snorted before burying her head in his embrace to keep warm.

Helian Shan was tall and big. He was also a martial arts practitioner, so this cold was nothing to him. He held her legs between his own and held her close to him, afraid that she would freeze to death.

"Mm, thank you." To have her feet warmed by his magnificent Lou Lan's throne, she, Lin Cen Xue, was truly blessed for the rest of her life.

"Don't talk, go to sleep. We still have to go up the mountain tomorrow." He lowered his head and kissed her forehead, urging her to rest.

After travelling for so many days, they finally arrived at the foot of the Everlasting Mountain. They rested contentedly for the entire night, and after the sky brightened, they packed up their carriages and headed towards the mountain.

Arriving here once again, Cen Xue's state of mind was completely different. Last time, Helian Lie had brought her out for a stroll. But this time … But she could not follow him back.

The grief that was suppressed deep within his heart finally burst out. His eyes turned red, and he couldn't help but tear up …

A bean sized teardrop fell onto the back of Helian Lie's hand. Waves of warm feeling swept through his senses. She was crying, his Xue'er was crying …

Helian Lie held her, turned her body to face him, lowered his head and kissed her eyelids, sealing the source of her tears, making her swallow all of them into his heart.

"Xue'er, I'm sorry. I'm useless. I'm in the wrong. Why don't we go back?" "Don't go looking for the book, okay?" Helian Shan originally didn't want her to do this. Now that he saw her cry, he became even more agitated and wanted to go back on her words.

"No, if you don't, what will you do in the future? I don't want to see you drinking human blood every month. I don't want you to shut yourself up in that dark place. Do you know that I had a dream in which I appeared in the underground palace? I dreamed that there was a coffin in the stone chamber, and inside the coffin was a dried corpse dressed in dragon robes, and the first time Zhao Changde sent me into the stone chamber, I shouted that you were a ghost, because my place is the underground palace below Xing Qing Palace. I was worried that if this goes on, you will really turn into the appearance of my dream. She had roughly told this to Elder Mu Yue at that time.

Although he was surprised, it was within his expectations as well. If one day he stopped drinking human blood, the Gu worms would gnaw at his internal organs, and in his current state, he would die just like a dried corpse, with no differences.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine …" He kept saying that out loud, but in his heart, he felt helpless. He actually needed the woman he loved the most to save himself. Why was the heavens so unfair?

"Li Shi, I will become strong. I will protect myself for you. You have to wait for me. Wait for me, okay …" Cen Xue choked with sobs. She found it hard to even speak.

"Xue'er …" I will wait for you. No matter where you are, past, present, and future, I will wait for you to come back! " The carriage was filled with warmth as Cen Xue's tears drenched Helian Shan's clothes, causing the two of them to sink into an incomparably painful abyss.

Looking back in his previous life, he was destined to be together in this life. This so-called lover, on the side of the water, the beauty was unable to depend on him, her tears flowing freely!

Relying on the window, the moon scattered grievances, self-care, alone sad! Love silk is hard to cut, love is hard to break, day and night to think, night to look forward!

When the magpie came to the branch, it added to the desolation, making it hopeless in the heart as tears streamed down its face! Time flies, how could he waste time? A beautiful woman that is easily aged, how can she be like this? If they were to rely on each other, then Mo Wuji would leave!

Eastern Ou Country...

The envoy representing the Azure Dragon this time was the Assistant Minister of Public Affairs, Zhang Yanting. He had just led the convoy into the capital of the Eastern Wu Country when Chunyu Rui received the news and quickly rushed out of the palace, blocking the envoy's path.

She originally thought that she would see the Azure Dragon, but after seeing who the leader of the group was, she couldn't help but be greatly disappointed. Could it be that the Azure Dragon went back on its word? Not marry her?

"This official, Zhang Yating, greets the princess!" Zhang Yanting alighted from the carriage and met the legendary third princess for the first time.

"You are the envoy that Lou Lan sent this time. Tell me, what is your purpose in coming here?" Just tell me casually, are the commanders of your imperial guards in the country? " Luo Jian's face was obviously displeased, and she didn't look too pleased with the envoy.

Zhang Yanting was a middle-aged man who was only forty years old. Looking at her temper like a little girl, it seemed that she was angry that the Grand General of the hussars hadn't personally come and sent him, an outsider, to propose.

He took out the letter that the Azure Dragon had given him, walked up to Chunyu, and said to her in a low voice, "Your Highness, this is the personal letter that the Grand Cavalry General asked me to hand over to you. I came here on the orders of the King to propose the marriage of the Grand Cavalry General to the King of Dongwu in your country, requesting that the King of Dongwu marry the Princess to the Grand Cavalry General of Lou Lan... "Azure Dragon!"

"What?" After talking for so long, you're actually here to propose? So the Azure Dragon is now a Grand General? " Chunyu Ruojian was frowning just now. When she heard the title 'Grand General', she couldn't help but feel a special hatred. So the Grand General was the Azure Dragon, and now he was the Grand General, then wouldn't she be the Grand General's wife from now on? Haha …

After the astonishment, she started to laugh out loud. So she had misunderstood. But where was the Azure Dragon? Why didn't he come personally?

Your Highness, the original Commander of the Azure Dragon Tribe has already been conferred the title of Grand General of the Rider by my King. The reason why he did not come personally is because the King wants to make a tour around the city and has to be protected by the Grand General of the Rider. This incident suddenly happened and I hope that the Princess will forgive me. Zhang Yanting explained everything clearly. Seeing the smile on the princess' face, it seemed like this marriage was certain to happen.

Chunyu Ruo listened to him as she couldn't wait to open the letter that the Azure Dragon gave her. She carefully read the contents of the letter. Forget it, it was hard for him as long as he didn't go back on his words.

While the two of them were talking, a group of soldiers majestically rushed over, forcing all the hawkers to the side. Chunyu looked towards the front, it turned out to be the King's Brother!

"This official, Zhang Yating, pays his respects to the Crown Prince!" Chunyu Jun's mount walked between the two teams of soldiers and stopped in front of Zhang Yanting.

"Brother King, it's the Azure Dragon. This lord is here to propose marriage on behalf of the Azure Dragon!" Chunyu like fiber can be happy, go up to pull Chunyu Jun's arm, dance to gesticulate.

He knew that the Azure Dragon was now a great general of the hussars, and he had followed Helian Lie to the Everlasting Mountain. Thus, he had chosen Zhang Yanting to come to the east to be his envoy, bringing a betrothal gift with him to ask for a betrothal.

"Sir Zhang, please excuse me. Please follow me to the palace. Father is still waiting for you." Chunyu Jun pulled Ruoji behind him. This was the main street. As a princess waiting to be married, she actually ran all the way to the main street to make a ruckus.

"Thank you, Your Highness …" "Please …" Zhang Yan Ting returned the greeting and followed Chunyu Jun into the palace.

Chunyu Jun had already told his royal father and his mother about the matter of Chunyu Ruyu, and for this matter, the Queen would be honest for several days. Since she had already given her body to the Azure Dragon, there was nothing much they could say, but luckily the Azure Dragon was a talent, and the Queen and the King had nothing to criticize, and now that the title of Grand General was given, it was like adding wings to a tiger!

Zhang Yanting handed over the betrothal gifts in the main hall one by one, and the queen's heart finally settled down. After waiting for half a month, she was worried that that brat wouldn't come again.

Chunyu Ruo hid in the back hall and eavesdropped, the smile on her face never stopped. 100 days, 100 days to get married, it meant three months?

Princess, you have misheard. It has been more than half a month since the wedding ceremony started on the day of the death of the Imperial Concubine of Xiao of Lou Lan Country. Half a month has already passed, which is to say, in another two months, Princess is going to be married into the Great General's Estate of Lou Lan Country. The court ladies by her side listened more attentively, and told what they knew in detail to Chunyu.
