In this world, there was a very terrifying creature called a love rival.
Of course, in Gollum, it was not about Qi He.
Then who was this rival in love? She was Xuan Yue's Holy Maiden, Fairy Ling.
Why did a Holy Maiden suddenly appear? It was only because someone had suggested that the current situation was unstable and that the Holy Maiden's race was needed to stabilize the dynasty and protect the land.
In fact, Xuan Yue's surname was not Nangong. However, he had used tyranny and lost the hearts of the people. Thus, the ancestor of the Nangong family, in order to save the commoners, took the world for himself.
Of course, during this process, it would not be without the assistance of the Holy Maiden. The ancestors had granted the Holy Maiden great power, and they had also promised that her descendants would always be second only to the Son of Heaven.
Because the descendants of the Holy Maiden were definitely girls, they were not worried that they would start a rebellion.
The Holy Maiden was indifferent to fame and fortune. If one were to say that she was staying at the hands of the Son of Heaven, she would definitely eat and drink to her heart's content.
He was really forced to leave the mountain this time.
If one were to talk about the Holy Maiden, she would be like a fairy that came out of the water.
The first time Zhao Ping saw her was on the bridge.
One night, Zhaoping had said the wrong thing again and had run away. This time, he did not turn into a fish, but simply ran away.
He believed that she would come back when her anger subsided, but he had no choice but to go out and look for her.
After all, it was not safe to go out at night at a girl's house. If he were to go out like last time, it would be terrible.
This time, he did not bring any servants with him. He did not wish to arouse the attention of so many people and alarm his father. However, this was an extremely serious matter.
He remembered that the last time he had returned to the manor, his father had said these words to him — next time was not the case.
Thus, this search for Gollum had become a matter for him alone.
Arriving at the bridge, he saw a woman in white clothes standing by the side with tears in her eyes.
Out of goodwill, he took out his handkerchief and handed it to her, indicating that she should wipe it.
She turned her head slightly and a delicate face appeared in front of him.
"You are?"
"Just call me Zhaoping."
She smiled at him, a bright smile, the sadness gone.
This woman has a special kind of magic...
Zhao Ping was sure that he liked her, not falling in love with her at first sight.
Because for the next three days, they often met in private.
During this period of time, Zhao Ping had completely forgotten about Gollum and the matter of him coming to find her.
In a pavilion in the mountains, a man and a woman were sheltering from the rain.
"It's all my fault. If I hadn't invited you out for a walk, I wouldn't have encountered such a thing." Zhao Ping apologized, feeling very apologetic in his heart.
Because of the rain, all of his good mood was gone. Now that he was trapped here, he could only wait for the rain to stop before returning.
"It's nothing. There are always unpredictable events. This is not something you can predict."
Zhaoping took off his coat and draped it over her. "Watch out for the cold."
He could be very good to her, very, very good.
"I won't catch cold." The other party smiled.
Zhao Ping obviously didn't believe him. "Why?"
Are there people in this world who aren't afraid of the cold? It was a strange thing.
"Because I am the Holy Maiden. The Holy Maiden is not afraid of the cold, and she will not be sick."
"Saint... "Female?" This wasn't the first time Zhaoping had heard this phrase, but he didn't understand it, so he was still a little unfamiliar with it. He didn't know how to react.
"Shocked? I believe you must have heard of my real name, Fairy Ling. " She got up and put the dress back on him.
"Then for the first time …" Zhao Ping began to recall.
"The first time we met was the first day I came to the capital. I was not used to the environment here and wholeheartedly wanted to leave, even though the Holy Maiden was responsible for protecting the kingdom, I really did not want to stay here. It was only when I met you that I firmly decided to stay."
If she had met someone else that night, she might have cried and returned to the mountains and forests, living a carefree life.
"Ling'er …" He took her in his arms, glad that he had a place in her heart.
There were two explanations.
Firstly, she had a kind of magic that made his heart feel tender towards her.
Secondly, he did not fall in love with her at first sight, because the true determination of their relationship was through their three days of being together.
When he returned to the manor, he found out that Gollum had returned.
As soon as Gollum saw him, he rushed forward to kiss him.
Zhao Ping was distressed by this matter, but there was nothing he could do. Who told him to be her master? What would Fairy Ling think if she saw it?
He would definitely think of himself as a disloyal person.
"Where have you been these past few days?" Zhaoping took his leave and sat down at the table. He lowered his eyes and asked with a calm voice.
"The last time I went missing, Master spent a whole day to find me, and it even caused a huge disturbance throughout the city." "This time, you actually ignored me. Master, you've changed."
"Can it be that I have to be like last time to prove that I haven't changed?" Zhao Ping knew that he shouldn't have gotten angry at her, but this little girl would disappear from time to time. If he kept going like this, it would be terrible, and he had to help her get rid of this bad habit.
Gollum wiped away his tears. "You've really changed. You've never been mean to me before."
Zhao Ping felt very helpless. However, there were some things that should be made clear.
"Guru, even though you are a fish, you are not young either, you are 56 years old, in our human world, you are considered old, you are rich in experience, but you are still as pure as a piece of white paper, I want you to understand, purity is good, but excessively pure, caring too much about yourself, it will only arouse the displeasure of the people around, do you understand?"
"I don't understand!" Gulp's eyes emitted a strange red light, "You despise me because I'm old, but you despise me because I'm stupid, don't you? Do you find me annoying? "Yes, you're already beginning to dislike me. When we were in the Silent Lands, you were curious about me for a while, but after a long time, you've returned to the capital. In this bustling place, where else could I be in your heart?"
"Guru, listen to me, it's not what you think." Zhaoping had not expected that his words would trigger so much resentment in her.
"Master, I know you never wanted to kiss me. Fine, let's break the contract. I'll go back to the Silent Lands and pretend I didn't know you." His eyes were cold and resolute.
"Guru, calm down." Judging from her tone of voice, she was probably planning on doing something stupid.
Gollum laughed coldly, "Calm down? I can't calm down! I've been following you secretly for the past few days, you and that woman were intimate and intimate, a couple in love. Ask yourself in your heart, have you thought about me? "Do you care about me?"
If she recalled that scene in her mind, it would cause her heart to hurt.
"This is my fault, but …"
Gurgle interrupted him, "There's no 'but'. If you don't like it, you don't like it. Why should I stay here and suffer the supercilious looks of others? "So you are my everything, but now you aren't. I don't blame you, I was in love with the mortal world so I got involved with you, so I should wake up from this beautiful dream. Master, this is the last time I will call you out."
With that, she stretched out two fingers and placed them on her eyeballs.
The price of breaking the contract was destroying one's eyes …
