C83 (1/2)
Ten-odd minutes later, Xue'er dumbfoundedly looked at the Horned Eagle Beast that had fallen in front of her, her entire body in a daze.
Liu Yunqi smiled warmly as he reached out his hand. ”Come, Yue'er, Big Brother will fly you.”
At the moment, Liu Yunqi was in high spirits, riding on the back of the One-horned Beast seemed to be powerful, and that smile carried a kind of unique charm, causing Xue'er's face to turn red and her heart to beat faster. She was in a daze, and subconsciously held Liu Yunqi's hand as he brought her into his embrace.
The moment she landed in Liu Yunqi's embrace, she suddenly reacted, feeling Liu Yunqi's Qi behind her, she immediately tensed up.
This was the first time she was so close to a man. Even though this man was her future brother-in-law, he still made her nervous.
Liu Yunqi didn't notice the expression on Xue'er's face, as he shoved her into his embrace with one hand and said, ”Come closer, why are you standing so far away?! Be careful not to get thrown out later! ”
Feeling Liu Yunqi's firm arms, Xue'er's face flushed all the way to her ears. She felt dizzy, and nodded her head dizzily, ”Mhm ~”
Both of Liu Yunqi's feet tightly gripped onto the Horned Eagle Beast's body as he shouted. The Horned Eagle Beast once again shot into the sky, past numerous thick tree branches and leaves, and the strong centrifugal force caused Liu Yunqi to hold onto the Horned Eagle Beast's neck tightly, pressing Xue'er between him and the Horned Eagle Beast.
Xue'er was unable to react for a moment. Feeling Liu Yunqi's somewhat broad chest and that powerful heartbeat, she was so nervous that her entire body suddenly stiffened and she didn't dare to move even an inch under the pressure of Liu Yunqi's embrace. Her face unconsciously flushed red to the point of her neck.
Seeing Xue'er not moving at all, Liu Yunqi thought that she was afraid, so he said gently, ”Yue'er, don't worry. With Big Brother here, you won't fall down.”
When Liu Yunqi tamed the Horned Eagle Beast and appeared in front of her, Xue'er had actually already acknowledged Liu Yunqi in her heart.
Now that she heard Liu Yunqi's gentle words, Xue'er couldn't help but be stunned on the spot. She had heard that Liu Yunqi was already on the verge of death when he came to the Fairy Forest, and Yue'er had cried her heart out for him.
Later, Yue'er told Xue'er how much Liu Yunqi treated her and that she treated him well. This made Xue'er curious about what kind of person Liu Yunqi was.
When she had truly met Liu Yunqi, the warm words Liu Yunqi had said to Yue'er caused Xue'er to feel his love for her.
Seeing how Liu Yunqi and Yue'er were both so concerned for each other, Xue'er couldn't help but be a little envious of Yue'er. She muttered to herself, ”When will I ever meet such a person who dotes on and loves me?”
After passing through layers upon layers of leaves, the horned eagle flew up into the sky with the two of them once again. Looking at the sun in the distance and the vast expanse of land below them, Liu Yunqi instantly felt as if the world was beneath his feet.
Seeing this, Liu Yunqi's heart stirred. He could not help but take out a bottle of wine from the Spatial Ring, and after drinking a few mouthfuls he said, ”With such a beautiful scenery and this kind of good wine, it would truly be a blessing in a lifetime!”
Xue'er immediately asked in puzzlement: ”Big Brother Yunqi ~ What did you just say? ”It feels so special!”
Liu Yunqi drank a mouthful of wine and said, ”This is a poem, it's called” Full Moon ”. It was written by a very great poet, Du Fu. ”
”Du Fu?”
Just as she was about to ask, the smell of alcohol floated into the tip of her nose. She could not help but turn her head to look, and discovered Liu Yunqi drinking. How can you drink? ”
Liu Yunqi was startled, then laughed out loud: ”Hahaha, in this situation, if I don't get drunk from such a good wine, then wouldn't my life have ended in vain?! Yue Er, when you go back, you can't tell Wushuang about this matter! Otherwise, she will annoy me to death! Just treat it as a secret between us?! ”
Liu Yunqi's unrestrained and unrestrained attitude caused Xue'er to be dazzled for a while. Her heart thumped wildly as she subconsciously nodded her head, ”Yes, this is our secret.”
After being startled for a moment, Liu Yunqi said, ”Yes! ”A secret!”
Xue'er could not help but mutter to herself in her heart, ”This brother-in-law is always quarreling with the Horned Eagle Beast like a child, and now and then reciting some poem about drinking wine in a heroic manner.” Which one of these people was the real him? ”Brother-in-law is so weird ~”
Feeling a little intoxicated, Liu Yunqi kept the bottle and curiously looked at the ancient tree, ”Yue'er, just how big is this Ancient Life Tree?!”
The smell of the wine wafting from Liu Yunqi's body made Xue'er a little drunk. This feeling made her shy in her heart, and her face flushed as she said, ”I also don't know how old Grandpa Tree is.”
”Oh?” Liu Yunqi was slightly stunned, her lips raised as she said, ”It's alright, let's see exactly how big this tree is now!”
Liu Yunqi shouted, as he commanded the Horned Eagle Beast to fly downwards.
”Ah ~!” Brother! Where are you bringing me to?! ” Xue'er nervously leaned against Liu Yunqi's body and asked.
”Take you to see how big this tree is!”
The Horned Eagle Beast took Liu Yunqi and the other two and circled around the treetop of the Ancient Life Tree, along the way, they met many Spirit beings riding Horned Eagle Beast.
When they saw Liu Yunqi and Xue'er riding together on the same horse, they were all flabbergasted and couldn't think straight for a long while.
More than ten minutes later, when the Horned Eagle Beast brought the two of them once again flying high up in the sky, Liu Yunqi could not help but sigh with emotion, ”This tree is really big! ”It seems like ten thousand years was not in vain. A ten thousand year tree essence stone …”
”Big Brother Yunqi, what do you mean by ten thousand year old tree essence?” Xue'er curiously asked as she blinked her big eyes.
”Liu Yunqi (Big Brother Yunqi) ~!”
