In the snowy valley surrounded by mountains, a clear spring is surging.

The spring is only the size of a little finger, and it is constantly bubbling and gushing out of clear water.

But now, the spring has sunk a lot, the surface of the water is only about two feet deep, and the whole spring is more than five feet in diameter, and the spring water only covers the bottom. The curling white smoke rises, and countless spiritual flowers and spiritual grasses grow by the spring, full of vitality, and the purple flowers like snow lotus are delicate and moving, and the slender leaves stretch out, exuding aura.

Looking at this spring that was about to bottom out, the three of Qingfeng looked solemn.

This is the most important spring of life of the Snowy Tribe, which can not only nourish the body of the tribe, but also cure any pain as long as you drink a sip of spring water. Moreover, this fountain of life still nourishes the entire land of the Snowy Clan, bringing them a good harvest and hope, but now, it is about to dry up.

Aomine had already checked, but for some reason, the leylines below the Fountain of Life were broken, and the spring water was diverted from the ground, and I don't know where it flowed. Because it was so deep, even he couldn't connect the leylines, causing less and less spring water to gush out.

If it is an ordinary spring, it is fine, without them they can still use snow water to survive, but this is the source of life, the source of their clan's strength, if the spring of life is completely exhausted, the entire snowy tribe will completely decay until it perishes.

"Again, it's gone down a bit?" the four elders stared at the water level of the spring, as if sensing something.

He had been coming to see it almost every few days, and he had marked the spring, and now the water level had dropped by an inch again, and he was so worried that he was going to faint.

Aomine also saw it, but he didn't say anything, only clenched his fists, and his eyes were like knives.

He regretted that if he hadn't betrayed the Eastern Wilderness in the first place, would he have been able to ask the emperor to give them the Life Soul Crystal? Unfortunately, at that time, he was moved by the reward promised by the Demon Venerable Mo Yanyu, and even forgot the loyalty of the Snowy Clan for tens of thousands of years.

Now, it's too late to regret it.

Qingxue Saintess looked at it anxiously, and said loudly: "Father, what should I do, the fountain of life is getting less and less, if the clansmen know, it will definitely be chaotic." ”

Qingfeng said in a deep voice: "If you continue like this, you can't hide it, and sooner or later you will know." "He's thinking about how to save his people, and the Snowy Clan can't be lost in his hands.

The three of them were heavy in front of them, and the atmosphere was depressing.

At this time, no one can sleep well, and they have to appease the clansmen externally, after all, there is a war, countless casualties, and people in every family have died. As the patriarch and the holy woman, as well as a few people such as the only living four elders, they must appease the emotions of the clansmen.

After a long time, the four elders said tentatively: "Patriarch, we can't delay any longer, why don't we go and ask the emperor again?"

The Qingxue Holy Maiden immediately gritted her teeth and said, "No, don't go to the emperor, even if the entire Snowy Domain is gone, I don't want to ask him again." She remembered the last time she had been humiliated by Night Brahma.

She was noble and immaculate, but she took the initiative to send herself to the door to dedicate herself, praying for his mercy, and the night Brahma did not want to look at her more. Not only that, but also humiliated her fiercely, and when she thought of this, she felt ashamed of herself and wanted to die.

The fourth elder snorted: "Holy Maiden, you still have to think about the clan, there are more than 30,000 clansmen, and the old man really can't bear to let the Snowy Clan perish......

Qingfeng finally nodded, yes, he is the patriarch, how can he watch the entire clan decline and eventually die out for the sake of face?

"This time, I don't need you to go, Qingxue, go and ask the emperor for my father. ”

"No, Father, the Night Brahma will not agree. Qingxue Holy Maiden gritted her teeth, "We have already begged like this last time, but he didn't agree, it is merciful not to kill us, how can it be possible to give us such a valuable thing as the Life Soul Crystal?"

She said hatefully: "Father, don't be delusional, you will only be disappointed." ”

At this time, the four elders hesitated and said: "Actually, we don't have to ask the emperor, maybe we go to ask the queen of heaven, what if there is hope? After all, the life soul crystal is hidden in the mausoleum, even if the emperor agrees, don't we have to go to report to the queen of heaven before we can open the mausoleum?"

Qingxue Saintess's heart suddenly moved: "Yes, since this is the case, it is better to go to the queen of heaven, maybe you can directly bypass the emperor." ”

Qingfeng also thought of something: "Qingxue, it seems that the queen of heaven has always liked you......"

At this time, the Qingxue Holy Maiden finally smiled, revealing a touch of confidence: "Yes, why didn't we think of this, father, daughter will prepare immediately, and set off to the royal city on the same day to see the queen of heaven." ”

Finally with a glimmer of hope, Qingfeng and the four elders glanced at each other.

......

Nether, Yuncang Country.

In the palace, Long Qianli looked at the dozens of beautiful pictures in front of him, without the slightest feeling.

"The second prince, these are all sent by the queen mother, and the second prince must read it today and select three beautiful candidates. On the side, a middle-aged eunuch said respectfully, while secretly looking at Long Qianli's expression.

Seeing his expressionless appearance, the middle-aged eunuch was cold again.

The portraits of these beauties are all painters sent by the Ministry of Rites to paint for the daughters of various ministers and families, but all the wealthy families who are interested in becoming the second princess and concubine have made the daughters dress up outstandingly, and then stuffed a lot of benefits for the painter, so that the painter can paint more beautifully.

The portraits of a hundred daughters have been screened by the Ministry of Rites once before they are sent to the queen's mother, and there are only fifty left, and now there are fewer than the queen's mother, and there are more than 30 in front of the second prince.

But Long Qianli has been watching it for three days, and he hasn't picked out any of them.

The women in these portraits are all beautiful, but Long Qianli doesn't like any of them, and they don't feel the slightest feeling.

"Beauty is beautiful, there is no soul. Long Qianli suddenly said.

Another shadow appeared in his mind, green clothes and light yarn, clever smile, and a look of ghostly cleverness, even though she has been gone for more than a year, but he still remembers it.

The middle-aged eunuch couldn't understand the words of the second prince: "How could it be, second prince, these are all superb beauties, some of them are still daughters of families, and their cultivation is good, how can they not have a soul?"

Long Qianli glanced at him: "What do you know?"

"Yes, yes, the minions don't understand. The middle-aged eunuch hurriedly said.

It's a pity that she is already married, and the man who married her is still so handsome and detached, Long Qianli has no ideas, but he is in a gloomy mood. Maybe he won't see her again in this life.

In the Upper Realm, she should be doing well, right? After all, it was a place that everyone longed for.

Depressed for a moment, Long Qianli pushed away the scroll in front of him, stood up, and walked out.

"Second prince, where are you going, the queen is still waiting for the second prince's reply......" The middle-aged eunuch hurriedly chased out. But when he clumsily rushed outside the temple gate, where was there still a trace of Long Qianli?

"The second prince is moving too fast, the minions can't catch up, it's miserable, the queen mother is pursuing it, what should I say?" The middle-aged eunuch frowned, not knowing what to do.

The little eunuch on the side asked him in a low voice: "Manager Li, the second prince is gone, what should I do with these beauties?"

The middle-aged eunuch's heart jumped, staring at the dozens of paintings in front of him, and suddenly said: "It's out, just pick a few at will." ”

He didn't look at it, and grabbed three scrolls casually: "That's all three, let's die......"

After speaking, he stared at the little eunuch, and the little eunuch hurriedly said: "Manager Li, the little one doesn't know anything......

"I don't know what a fart, it's obviously picked out by the second prince, I don't know what you say!"

"Yes, yes, it was picked out by the second prince, and the slave saw it with his own eyes. ”

The middle-aged eunuch took a deep breath and calmed his mood, okay, it's time to go and give the queen an errand.

Long Qianli had already left the palace, and even if he knew about it, he didn't have any opinions.

If it's not her, then it doesn't matter who he marries, if the father and queen mother have to make him a concubine, then it will be as they want.

Walking on the street, Long Qianli looked at the bustling crowd, suddenly felt bored again, and after thinking about it, he headed towards the Gu family's Baibao Pavilion. It seemed that there he could find some memories.

Suddenly, the oncoming figure was slender and shallow, out of the dust, which made Long Qianli stunned all of a sudden.

Gu Lanyi, she is still so beautiful, so fairy.

"I actually hallucinated......" Long Qianli quickly reacted, shook his head and rubbed his eyes.

Did he really miss Gu Lanyi so much that he hallucinated? Thinking that he was the second prince of Yuncang Kingdom and loved by countless women, he always had someone who couldn't get it, hidden in the bottom of his heart.

"Long Qianli, what a coincidence. Gu Lanyi's eyes lit up, but she didn't expect that as soon as she was in the lower realm, she saw Long Qianli.

The sound was crisp and pleasant, and passers-by didn't pay much attention to it, but it was no less than a thunderclap in Long Qianli's ears. He was stunned, staring at Gu Lanyi, who was walking towards him not far away, and couldn't believe his eyes.

Is it her?

Gu Lanyi walked up to Long Qianli and smiled at him: "Hey, stupid, isn't it, how long has it been since you didn't know me?"

Ecstasy surged from his heart, Long Qianli's blood boiled, and his face turned red in an instant: "No, no, Miss Gu, you, why are you here, aren't you going, going to the upper realm......"

He was incoherent with excitement, shouting in his heart, so lucky that he finally saw her again!

"I've got something going on down. Gu Lanyi said lightly.

You can't talk about this on the street, since you have met Long Qianli, it is better to call him to review the family and discuss it together. I don't know if he wants to, and she won't force people.

Getting Gu Lanyi's invitation, the corners of Long Qianli's mouth were about to crack to the root of his ears, as long as it was her request, where would he refuse!

The Gu family obviously didn't expect Gu Lanyi to come back suddenly, and after some surprises, Gu Lanyi only left the current head of the family, Gu Hongkai, as well as Gu Haoyan and others, to gather in Zhilan Garden.

Not to mention Gu Chaoyue's joy of seeing her daughter again, Gu Lanyi looked at everyone's expectation, first asked everyone about the situation during this time, and after learning that everything was going well, he said: "I came back this time because of important things, the first is to prepare to pick up my mother and go to the upper realm." ”

When everyone heard this, their hearts suddenly hung in their hearts, if the people closest to Gu Lanyi were gone, would she never come back in the future......?

"Second, I want to ask everyone, is there anyone who would like to go up with me?"

As soon as Gu Lanyi's words came out, everyone was stunned, and then they were ecstatic.
