On the high stairs of King Zheng's mansion, the vermilion main gate was wide open, and the powerful old steward walked out of the door, with a group of domestic servants and maids behind him. Seeing Xin Ziling bending down and saluting, under the gaze of the onlookers, the three people standing under the doorstep entered the palace.

The front courtyard of the palace is very large, and it seems that all the servants are carefully cleaning the snow in the courtyard, coming and going in a serious manner. But if you look closely, the corners of everyone's eyes are glancing at these three people. Bypass the front hall, the back hall, the back building, came to a huge courtyard, in the winter courtyard corner bloomed a lot of yellow plum blossoms, against the falling snow to float a burst of cold aroma.

"The prince is inside. The old butler took Xin Ziling and the three of them to a closed door and said, "The old slave is waiting here, and the girl can call me at any time if she has any orders." I will order people to entertain these two sons, please rest assured. ”

In the high-walled courtyard of the royal palace in the royal city, Xin Ziling thought that it must be extremely strictly controlled, but she came in like this, and with doubts, she finally understood when she stepped into the room and saw a portrait of a woman very similar to her hanging on the white wall.

It's just that the woman in the painting has her eyes closed, and she has lost her charm. When she came back to her senses, she looked at the bed, and there was a skinny man lying in the thick two brocade quilts, which was not at all like the little prince Gao Qi, who was personable and outstanding. Xin Ziling frowned, moved a stool, walked to the edge of the bed and sat down gently.

After a long while, Gao Qi seemed to wake up from sleep, his eyes were empty with insufficient yang energy, and his godless gaze was stunned for a moment when it wandered to Xin Ziling's face. When he came back to his senses, he closed his eyes and smiled, his voice very low as if he was muttering to himself: "How many times have I dreamed, but this time it is true." ”

"It's not a dream, lord. ”

In this low voice, Gao Qi suddenly opened his eyes and slowly turned his head to look at Xin Ziling again, and reached out to confirm as if he was not sure. She held Gao Qi's outstretched hand, and the cold touch was transmitted from Gao Qi's hand to hers: "Look, I'm not real?"

"Ahem...... Ahem......" Gao Qi coughed violently, and Tie Qing's face turned crimson in an instant.

Xin Ziling hurriedly helped him down his skinny back, and only when he recovered his strength did he ask in a low voice, "Is it better, do you want to drink some water?"

“...... Good ......"

The old steward smiled with relief outside the door, and the prince had finally begun to speak after so long. He raised his hand and collected the tears that had soaked up in the corner of his eye, and let out a long sigh of relief.

During the period of time that Xin Ziling lived, Gao Qi got better at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. When the plum blossoms were defeated and the red plums first bloomed, he could already go to the courtyard alone for a walk. This progress made the whole palace quite happy, and the whole palace was immersed in laughter, and at the same time ushered in a new year, and the whole royal city was full of joy.

Leaning on the table with his chin on his hands, looking at the red pearl that kept peeling dried fruits and eating, Lian Yi yawned, wiped away the tears that were squeezed out, changed to a comfortable posture and said to Xin Ziling: "It's almost, I think he's also very good." After being dizzy, he said, "Why hasn't Mu Dinghua come to pick us up?"

"It's only been a long time since we did, and I'm not too worried about Gao Qi's appearance, let's talk about it when he's completely well. Also, what did you call me when you carried me behind your back?" Xin Ziling slapped her hand, looking like she was going to sue you.

"Is it behind, of course it's called Niang!" As soon as the words fell, a coaster flew over, and the target hit Lian Yi's head with great accuracy, so painful that he screamed.

"This kid just doesn't work. Chi Zhenzhu peeled another dried longan and put it in his mouth, and kept reaching for the next one.

"Ouch...... Immortal, can't you say that about me! Lao Tzu ...... No, how much do I respect you...... No, Ziling, when will he be finished? What if he gets better and he gets sick again as soon as you leave? You can't really marry him, right?" Lian Yi rubbed his head and said.

Li is this reason, she can't always be by Gao Qi's side. Although his life is short, and it is only a matter of a moment and a half for her, she can't give what he wants. Xin Ziling hesitantly turned around and sat down, Gao Qi's matter was half completed, and she hadn't thought about how to complete the second half.

"Why are you so serious about mortals? To be honest, a weak being like them doesn't know why. Lian Yi moved very slightly, and little by little, he smoothed some dried fruits from Chi Zhenzhu to his face, trying to make people as imperceptible as possible.

Xin Ziling shook her head: "Don't you think they are amazing? It is precisely because of such a weak existence that such a great civilization can be built. Although there are many other worlds, this one is indeed different from me. I've been in this space before, and it's been a short time, but there's someone who cares about me and loves me. ”

She seemed to be caught in a certain memory, her eyes were a little ethereal, and she said: "That was my grandfather in the mortal world at that time, although his old man was talking to this body where I was staying, he was also concerned about my host. However, his wholehearted dedication and love for me has never changed in every time I have been awake for a short time.

But I don't even know when he's gone. My life...... There aren't many people who are really good to me, and he's one of them. And because of me, his only granddaughter also lost her life. So...... I have a different affection for people in this world...... At that time......"

Lian Yi listened attentively, and forgot to protect the snacks that he pulled over, and unconsciously he was shunned back by Chi Zhenzhu. This section of the Red True Pearl is known, at that time he was just a spiritual bead, and he should have been in her body for Xin Yuyan's godlessness, but she slapped it into the body of Xin Ziling, who should have died, and merged with his shattered Yuan Shen. In order to restore the broken primordial spirit, Xin Yuyan also used her last strength to help Xin Ziling find a good jar, so that Chi Zhenzhu could repair Xin Ziling's good body.

Chi Zhenzhu listened to the past events that he already knew, and realized that the girl in front of him had such a deep obsession with such a past. It's not her fault that the past is over, but she can't let it go, which is not a good thing. Obsession can sometimes hurt people.

Early the next morning, Lian Yi didn't see anyone, he ran around all day, and no one dared to stop him in the palace all day, and his fat didn't rise, but his temper was a lot arrogant. Xin Ziling didn't bother to take care of his business, so he took the meat porridge made in the dining room to Gao Qi early in the morning, picked off a red plum on the tray where he put the meal, looked at the rising sun, and felt that it was almost time to walk through the backyard into the master's resting place.

The maid guarding the door saw Xin Ziling coming over and automatically opened the door for her, and they all understood who this person was, although no one said anything, but everyone knew that this was probably the future hostess. Xin Ziling walked into the house but didn't see Gao Qi, only to see a letter written to her on the table.

She opened it curiously, and the letter wrote about the anxiety of waiting for her for a long time after he came back and not seeing her, and after learning about her home, he personally went up to Lei Mountain to visit Bai Mei and finally saw his disciple Qingyun, at that moment his shock and despair afterward, how the days of losing his soul were spent day by day. At the end of the letter, he said that listening to Jun's words was better than reading for ten years, and he felt that since what she wanted was the black-winged butterfly that only existed in the cold winter of Heifeng Mountain, he would be the one who had a heart to find it for her in person, hoping that she could truly accept herself.

Xin Ziling was very curious, which gentleman did she listen to in the end? And she didn't know what this black-winged butterfly was. When the people at the door asked, they didn't know when Gao Qi left, and when they heard that it was the group of people from Black Wind Mountain, they were suddenly stupid.

The old housekeeper rushed over, carefully read the letter in Xin Ziling's hand, and sent people in a panic to divide into two ways, one was to go to Heifeng Mountain to save people, and the other was to go to the imperial capital to inform the queen mother and Wang Jun about the matter. Looking at the busy people in the palace, Xin Ziling grabbed a handyman who was sweeping the floor and asked about Heifeng Mountain, only then did he know that there was a black bear demon rumored on this mountain, and those who went up the mountain have never returned.

As for this black-winged butterfly, it is not a butterfly, but a purple-black flower that resembles a butterfly from the Black Wind Mountain, which only blooms in winter and is very small. Therefore, the flower has the effect of beauty and beauty, and it is extremely precious, so in the past, when there were no monsters on the mountain, people often went up the mountain to find this flower in winter, and if they were lucky enough to pick it, they would sell it at a high price to a noble woman who could afford it.

But after the bear demon appeared, the people who went there were like meat buns beating dogs, and no one dared to go to Heifeng Mountain after that, and the flower also became a story after tea and dinner.

Hearing this, he knew how dangerous it was for Gao Qi to do this, Xin Ziling turned around and ran outside the palace, and at this time, there was one missing Xin Ziling in the Zheng Wang's mansion, which was already in chaos, and no one was afraid that no one would notice it. After asking several people along the way, Xin Ziling, who didn't know the way, finally arrived at the foot of Black Wind Mountain one step ahead.

Looking up, the mountain is covered with winter snow, and the footprints of a person on the snow can be faintly seen at the mouth of the trail leading to the mountain. After following the footprints into the mountain, Gao Qi's whereabouts were a little unclear. The snow that falls from the dead branches from time to time obscures a lot of traces on the ground, making it extremely difficult to find people.

Xin Ziling just sighed, fortunately, there was no snow, and the sky was not beautiful and scattered goose feathers and snow. Such a situation is very critical, if you don't find someone as soon as possible, then Gao Qi will be buried by this heavy snow even if he is not eaten by the bear demon.

This trip to the mortal world was supposed to save him, and she didn't want him to die faster for herself. In order to prevent the heavy snow from burying the traces left on the ground, she just quickened her pace and did not dare to delay a little. The wind and snow gradually blurred his eyes, and it was difficult to find a trace on the ground. Thinking that it wasn't too long for Gao Qi to leave first, Xin Ziling looked left and right and flew into the air. Looking through the clumps of dead branches, he finally found Gao Qi lying on the edge of the cliff.

The heart she had been carrying relaxed, and she flew down to a dead tree ten paces away from him, and then walked out and exhaled softly. Unexpectedly, it disturbed him, and this time Gao Qi slid down the cliff unsteadily. Xin Ziling flew up and grabbed him tightly, Gao Qi's mortal body was naturally no problem for Xin Ziling.

Gao Qi, who was pulled up, looked pale, and he didn't know whether he was scared or cold. Seeing Xin Ziling who saved him, he immediately sat up, took off the fur drape draped over his body, and put it on Xin Ziling. She blocked his movements and whispered: "I'm not cold, why are you lying on the edge of this cliff, how dangerous is this!"

"Are you worried about this king?" Gao Qi laughed, and with his other hand, he took out a butterfly-shaped black and purple flower from his arms and handed it to Xin Ziling: "Look, I picked what you wanted." ”

Some words choked in his throat, a smiling face of Chi Qianxi floated in his mind, and his eyes became extraordinarily gentle: "It's okay, this flower...... Who told you what I wanted?"

"Fortunately, Brother Lian told me, otherwise I don't know that you have the heart to use this to test my sincerity, the sooner you know, won't you be able to understand my sincerity sooner......" Gao Qi looked at Xin Ziling's eyes full of affection, and although Xin Ziling had no intention of him, he was a daughter in the end, and he was a little embarrassed.

A fishy smell blew into this harmonious picture in the snow breeze, Xin Ziling reacted quickly, rolled to the side with Gao Qi in her arms, looked up at the position where the two of them were just now, and saw a big black bear more than 20 feet tall and roaring because it couldn't eat them in one bite, and the fishy smell came from the mouth of the black bear.

It seemed to finally sense something sluggishly, and it looked at Xin Ziling with some doubts in its eyes, but after all, it was an animal that had not cultivated the image of the human body, but after a moment, it roared and rushed towards the two. Gao Qi was completely stunned by the scene in front of him, and was stunned by Xin Ziling's knife when he had time to react.

When she turned around, she was already holding the sword that Chi Qianxi had given her in her hand and stabbed towards the black bear. She was about to be stabbed, but she felt a little unbearable in her heart, after all, this was a spirit beast from her Nine Heavens Divine Domain, and it was also a chance to be trapped in this mountain and not be destroyed. The blade of the sword in his hand slashed the black bear's forepaw, and the bear roared in pain, shook the soles of his feet vigorously, and dug a man-deep pit between the snow on the ground and the earth.
