Chapter Seventy-one: Zhou Yu Xiao

  Dazzling lights collided with each other without any skill, two powerful forces twisted and entwined in the air, like two ferocious beasts baring their sharp teeth and tearing at each other savagely.

  Liu Cheng's eyes narrowed, and he reached out to grab the girl's pale wrist, turning his head to look into her eyes. His resolute face was filled with determination as he gazed at the girl, enunciating each word: "Leave quickly!"

  He grasped her hand and exerted his strength, throwing the girl towards the vast grassland behind him.

  "Uncle Liu!" The young girl's face lost its color, her eyes instantly reddening, and the black waist-length skirt fluttered out a slightly desolate arc on the grassland.

  Liu Cheng's eyes welled up with unrelenting and pitiful love, he took one last look at the direction the girl had gone, then turned back around, his eyes already filled with bloody streaks, his hand tightened on the long knife, let out a loud roar, his entire body surging with spiritual energy, charging towards the people chasing after him to slaughter them.

  The rest of the guards saw this, and their eyes burned with a desire for battle, closely following Liu Cheng as he left.

  "Hiss hiss hiss"

  The drawn sword shines brightly but is solemn and murderous.

  ……………………

  The black-clad girl who was thrown out stared blankly ahead, her tears were pearls that had broken the thread, reflecting a seven-colored glow in mid-air.

  Liu Cheng has been watching her grow up since she was a child, and the love he has for her is not just because of his position, but it's the kind of love that comes from the heart of an elder to a younger one.

  In his heart, Liu Cheng's significance far exceeded that of a guardian leader. His own father was busy with state affairs every day, and it was usually this Uncle Liu Cheng who took care of him. In a certain sense, he was like a father to him.

  It was just such an important person for himself, who blocked danger for himself at this time, but the price was his own life.

  She had never felt this way before, hating her own weakness so much!!

  Her pale and slender hand clenched into a fist, trembling slightly from excessive force.

  The wind whizzed past her ears, the inertia that had been thrown out gradually disappeared, and her speed slowly came down.

  At this time, she suddenly felt that her back was leaning against something warm, and then a unique smell that made her mind confused came from behind.

  "Huh?"

  She immediately felt a sense of foreboding, and she hadn't noticed anything behind her just now.

  Subconsciously, her perfect cheek turned back...

  Like her, in a black dress, rustling in the wind.

  He looked to be about the same age as herself, with a tall and slender build, his black hair fluttering in the wind. However, the solid sensation on her back told her that this youth had strength far surpassing her own.

  That smell that made her mind go blank was coming from this young man's body, faintly and vaguely, suddenly making her face flush red.

  Subconsciously, she raised her head to look at his face.

  "Huh?"

  She was slightly taken aback, his face strangely wearing a somewhat ferocious mask, her heart skipped a beat, and there was a hint of imperceptible regret.

  But it was this mask that made her come to her senses, the memories of before flooding back, she immediately struggled free from the young man's arms, her face full of anxiety.

  At this moment, another blue figure appeared in front of the girl, beside the black-clad youth.

  The girl was slightly taken aback, just as she was about to speak, she heard the voice of the blue-clothed youth.

  "I'm telling you, idiot, every time something like this happens, you steal the show. Where am I supposed to put my face as a handsome guy?"

  The girl raised an eyebrow, white... idiot?

  Yang Yu Xi turned her face, the pupils behind her mask glared fiercely at Luo Xuan, presumably being made to lose face in front of such a young girl was very unpleasant for him.

  Luo Xuan let out a dry "heh heh" and turned his face to size up the girl in front of him, her short blue hair swaying gently in the wind like wild grass.

  "Hey beauty, what's your name?" Luo Xuan crossed his arms over his chest, with a slight overlap of his feet, looking rather playful and mischievous.

  Yang Yu Xi also turned his face to look at the girl, but he didn't say anything. The warmth on his chest earlier still had him a bit dazed.

  "My name is Zhou Yuxiao." The girl's voice was crisp and melodious, like the most beautiful music, ringing out ding-dong-ding in front of the two.

  "It sounds good." Yang Yuxi nodded silently.

  "With such a beautiful name, it's the only one that can match a beauty like you."

  Zhou Yuxiao didn't dare to meet Luo Xuan's fiery gaze head-on and slightly lowered her head.

  But in the next moment, Zhou Yuxiao suddenly raised her head and rushed back to where she came from without saying a word.

  Luo Xuan was taken aback, clearly Zhou Yuxiao's reaction had exceeded his usual process of flirting with girls.

  This chick doesn't play by the rules!

  What he found even stranger was that Yang Yuxi disappeared the moment Zhou Yuxiao moved, and accurately appeared in front of Zhou Yuxiao.

  "Ah!"

  Zhou Yuxiao obviously didn't expect Yang Yu Xi to block her way, and for a moment she couldn't stop herself, once again bumping into Yang Yu Xi's arms.

  "Hmm..."

  The force was enormous, and even Yang Yu Xi's body couldn't help but let out a muffled hum, but what he was thinking about in his mind was another matter.

  This warmth is indeed beautiful... Should I put my arm around her?

  Zhou Yu Xiao's face was flushed with anger, she hastily retreated a few steps back, her eyes darting around, her two jade-like hands not knowing where to place themselves.

  In the distance, Luo Xuan's mouth was slightly open, his eyes looking at Yang Yuxi were full of doubt, how did this guy become so bold today?

  This girl doesn't play by the rules, and you idiot also took the wrong medicine today?

  Has idiocy made progress?

  If you take off Yang Yuxi's mask, you will definitely find his facial knot.

  Just as Zhou Yu Xiao suddenly raised her head at that moment, she had a premonition that this girl was going to leave!

  Then, under a series of unexpected and absurd events, he rushed out!

  Now he came back to his senses, sweat dripping down, if the girl in front of him asked him why he stopped her, what should he say?

  Can't you just say you don't know?...

  "You..." As expected, Zhou Yuxiao lifted her peach-red cheeks and asked in doubt.

  "Uh..." Yang Yu Xi's eyes darted around before suddenly calming down, and he coolly said: "I was wondering if you have something urgent to attend to. If it's not a bother, Lan Qi and I can also lend a hand."

  Luo Xuan was thoroughly shocked, damn it, this move of yours is too cool!!

  Zhou Yu's eyes suddenly lit up.

  Yang Yu Xi was overjoyed, had he really been deceived by himself? It turned out that picking up girls wasn't that hard after all...

  But in the next moment, Zhou Yuxiao's eyes dimmed again.

  "What's wrong?" Yang Yu Xi hastily asked.

  "They're really formidable..." Zhou Yuxiao shook her head slightly and said softly.

  "How terrible!?" Yang Yu Xi asked subconsciously.

  At this time, Luo Xuan also rushed over. He hooked Yang Yu Xi's shoulder and gave her a wink, then smiled at Zhou Yu Xiao: "Forget it, Yu Xiao, you speak up, I and Bai Chi are willing to do whatever it takes, if not, we can call Can Lan."

  "Is it Lan?" Zhou Yuxiao frowned, "Is she a girl?"

  Yang Yu Xi and Luo Xuan choked, then burst out laughing wildly.

  Nangong Cangjue's forehead suddenly appeared with a green vein, and his eyebrows jumped wildly.

  Is this the legendary "sniper"?!

  "I swear, I'd give up a year's worth of good fortune to see the look on Rulan's face right now!" Luo Xuan laughed so hard that his short hair was disheveled, like a blue flame.

  "Uh..." Zhou Yuxiao's face was innocent.

  Yang Yu Xi suppressed his smile, cleared his throat twice, and pretended to be serious: "Can Lan is our brother."

  "Pure guys!!" Luo Xuan added with a strange and ambiguous tone.

  "Hmm...I see, sorry about that..." Zhou Yuxiao finally understood what the two were laughing at, and she also started to laugh softly. The two strangers in front of her gave her a sense of familiarity.

  "But..."

  Zhou Yu Xiao suddenly lifted her head, a layer of sadness covering her beautiful eyes, and asked tentatively: "Are you really willing to help me?"

  "Uh-huh!" Yang Yu Xi spoke up, nodding heavily. The anxious look on his face earlier was now replaced with an air of confidence.

  Zhou Yu Xiao raised her head, and the two of them locked eyes.

  "Aren't you afraid I'm a bad person?" she asked softly.

  Yang Yu Xi was taken aback, and Luo Xuan also turned his head to look at him.

  Although it was their first meeting with Zhou Yu Xiao, and neither of them knew much about each other, there was a deep intuition in Yang Yu Xi's heart that urged him to agree to her request.

  "I'm not afraid!" Yang Yu Xi's voice rang out loud and clear.

  A warm current surged in Zhou Yu's mind, she as the eldest princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty, had lived in the deep palace for a long time, and had seen too many intrigues and struggles in the imperial palace. Yet, the two people in front of her, Yang Yuxi, believed in her so unconditionally.

  In her opinion, Yang Yu Xi should take this opportunity to blackmail him a bit, which is normal.

  But he didn't, although she couldn't see Yang Yu Xi's expression through the mask, she deeply felt a kind of warmth similar to sunlight.

  If it weren't for being repeatedly indoctrinated in the palace, Zhou Yuxiao almost told Yang Yuxi her true identity.

  "Thank you." The thoughts of ten thousand words reached the tip of her tongue and turned into just two simple words.

  "It's okay, let's go now." Yang Yu Xi waved his hand and smiled.

  "Alright, just over there, we need to hurry up, otherwise..." Zhou Yu Xiao's words trailed off as she lightly bit her lip, with a hint of sadness that couldn't be concealed between her eyebrows.

  Yang Yu Xi nodded slightly to Luo Xuan, then stepped forward and said to Zhou Yu Xiao: "Don't worry, nothing will happen, but your cultivation is only a tiny spark, the speed is not enough, if you don't mind, I'll take you with me."

  "Alright!" Zhou Yuxiao's mind was now filled with concerns about Liu Cheng's safety, and she naturally quickly agreed.

  Yang Yu Xi took a few steps back, and with a soft whoosh, the dark-colored scales "shua shua shua" covered his body. Then, a surge of dark energy burst out from the scales, enveloping Yang Yu Xi's body.

  Dragon!

  After a few breaths, a black dragon several meters long appeared in front of Zhou Yu Xiao, with a faint sense of oppression emanating from it.

  Zhou Yu Xiao's face was shocked, and she lightly covered her lips.

  "Come on."

  Yang Yu Xi's voice came from the Ink Dragon, Luo Xuan chuckled and said to Zhou Yu Xiao: "Go up, his speed is very fast."

  "Is...this alright?" Zhou Yuxiao still hesitated a bit.

  Yang Yu Xi suddenly said: "If you go any slower, it might be too late."

  A gentle sentence struck Zhou Yu's heart like a thunderbolt, and she no longer hesitated, flying up onto the dragon's body.

  "Blue Qiu, keep up!" Mo Long gently swished his tail.

  "Hey, don't worry, idiot!" Luo Xuan rubbed his nose and beckoned to Nan Gong Cang Jie who walked out of thin air.

  Nangong Zang glanced over but didn't see anything, his eyes faintly swept across Zhou Yu Xiao on the dragon's body.

  "Heh heh, little girl..." Luo Xuan teased, then suddenly dashed off into the distance.

  Nangong Zang's eyebrows jumped again and he plunged back into the void.

  Yang Yu Xi's dragon chant spread far and wide, the enormous dragon body swung out, its speed was incredibly fast!

  Brother is here!!
