Facing Wu Meiniang, she cried and asked, "Then do you love me?"

Pei Zhenzhen suddenly felt as if time had stopped. He has a flamboyant tongue all day long, and he is full of lies, but he can't even spit out a single word.

He thought, "If I was facing the Northern Demon Queen, or even Sister Pomegranate asked me, I would be able to easily say these three words in this case, but why did my throat seem to be stuck in my throat when facing her, and I couldn't even make a sound." ”

He tried to open his mouth a little wider, but every time he twitched his lips slightly, he would remember what he had said to Ling You in the cave of the Hundred Flowers Valley.

At that time, he promised Ling You very firmly, "No matter whether your face is old or not, it doesn't matter if you are in the world." Sweet or hoarse, I'll always like you! forever, forever!"

And now, only a few months later, in an almost identical cave, how could he say such a thing to another girl again?

His heart was tormented, his chest was like magma rolling, so hot that he couldn't breathe, and his whole body trembled, as if the next breath would burst.

He finally couldn't bear it anymore, and used all his life's strength, but he only whispered the word "I ......".

At this moment, Wu Meiniang got up and approached, tapped his lips with her fingers, and signaled that he didn't need to say more. He sat down quietly, snuggled his head on his shoulder, closed his beautiful eyes and let the tears remain, wetting their clothes a little bit.

She guessed the reason why Pei Zhenzhen couldn't speak, and didn't want to see her beloved tortured by this again, so she said lightly, "It seems that I'm late......" and began to tell her story.

"I am the only daughter of Wu Taifu, my father is in a high position, but I am the only daughter under his knees, which makes him physically and mentally exhausted, and he is often criticized. ”

"I grew up in a strict family, my father did not allow me to go out at will, nor did he let me get too close to the servants, and for fifteen years my friend was only a wild cat. ”

"I don't complain about my father, because I know that as a prince, he is admired everywhere, and at the same time, it is also difficult for him to move forward in the court, and the daughters of large families are also like this. ”

"Time flies, in a blink of an eye I have reached the age of marriage, my father arranged a marriage for me, that person is the crown prince of the dynasty, I have not seen him, but I know very well that this is just a marriage to strengthen the relationship, a power transaction. ”

"But I yearn for the outside world, and I don't want to just come out of the deep boudoir and be like a deep palace, so I begged my father to let me come to Zongheng Academy, and finally take a good look at the world outside the palace gate. ”

At this point, she couldn't go on, because the next story was the man in front of her.

She hugged Pei Zhenzhen uncontrollably, and after sobbing for a while, she actually leaned on his shoulder and fell asleep quietly.

Pei Zhenzhen gently hugged her with one hand, and continued to hold the flame with the other, so she didn't move, she didn't dare to make any sound, and even her breathing was deliberately very light, for fear of alarming the girl in front of her.

Strange thoughts arose in his heart, hoping that he would never find a way out, afraid of facing everything that would happen after he got out, and wanting to escape his own responsibilities.

Thinking about it, he also fell asleep, and fell into a deep dream, and when he woke up again, there was a tall figure in front of him.

The main body of the figure was as strong as an ox, with wings on its back, and a raging fire burning in its hands, illuminating the originally dark cave as if it were day.

His first reaction was that the vulture demon had found him, and he couldn't help but feel a sudden shock to his body, and at the same time woke up Wu Meiniang on his shoulder, and then the two of them let out a miserable scream at the same time.

"Ahh

The screams echoed in the cave for a long time, and even he himself felt a tingling in his eardrums, but it was not the owner of the figure in front of them who made them scream like this, but the numbness of both of them after not moving for too long.

Seeing this, the owner of the figure asked with concern, "Are you all right?"

Only then did the two of them realize that the person who came was not a vulture demon, but another bird demon with hair, but they still did not let their guard down.

Pei Zhenzhen asked carefully, "You, who are you?"

The bird demon replied proudly, "My name is Sand Sculpture, I am the number one killer of the demon clan, and I came to find Brother Pei Zhenzhen on the orders of the head of Bai Mei!"

When Pei Zhenzhen heard that he was sent by Baimei, he immediately calmed down and asked, "Why is the head of Baimei looking for me?"

The sand sculpture replied, "The head of Baimei asked me to tell you that he is about to get married, and asked you to prepare red envelopes." ”

Hearing this, the two of them were surprised at the same time, "That's it?"

The sand sculpture nodded and replied, "That's it!"

Pei Zhenzhen was anxious and asked again, "When you came in from outside, did you encounter that vulture demon?"

The sand sculpture chuckled, put his hands around his chest and said proudly, "Don't worry, Brother Zhenzhen, not long after you entered the cave, that bald head was injured by me, and your friends are also safe and sound." I told him that you are my brother, and he will not dare to trouble you again in the future!"

Pei Zhenzhen breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Brother Sand Sculpture, I will prepare the bride price, you go back!"

After he finished talking for a long time, the sand sculpture did not move, and then said quietly, "I injured the vulture and came to the cave, and I searched for two days to find you, but I don't remember how to go back......"

“......”

Pei Zhenzhen was first shocked by the sand sculpture and the luck of being able to find himself, and asked puzzledly, "You said, you have been looking for us for two days, but we haven't been in for a long time, and we just slept a little?"

The sand sculpture looked the two of them up and down, and their hands had been clasped tightly since they were awakened by themselves. From Pei Zhenzhen's tone just now, it was clear that they didn't want to leave here.

So he chuckled and said, "If the dream is so beautiful, how many people would be willing to wake up from the dream? Just like the original owner of this cave, I'm afraid she also hopes that the dream will not wake up." ”

This fool suddenly became sensational, which made Pei Zhenzhen blush, and retorted, "Who said I don't want to wake up, it's just that this cave is too quiet and I sleep too dead." ”

He smiled again, "Besides, even if you wake up, you can't get out, so let's find a place to sleep again!"

The sand sculpture was just about to say something, when suddenly Wu Meiniang interjected, "Let's go, I remember all the way we came, and some things always have to be faced." ”

Then he looked at Pei Zhenzhen and said with a smile, "People can't live in dreams all the time, don't you still have important things to do?"

Pei Zhenzhen lowered his head and was silent for a while, and reluctantly smiled and said, "Yes, let's go......"

Under the leadership of Wu Meiniang, the three of them began to walk towards the entrance of the cave, and when they reached the near exit, they met two sergeants who were wearing ropes and complaining.

When the sergeants saw the sand sculpture with wings, they immediately drew their swords to guard against it, but after seeing Wu Meiniang, they anxiously asked, "Miss, are you okay?"

Wu Meiniang first glanced at Pei Zhenzhen, and then replied to the sergeant, "It's okay, let's go." ”

A few people walked out of the cave, and the long-lost sunlight shone on Pei Zhenzhen and Wu Meiniang, but they didn't feel a trace of warmth.

The sand sculpture said goodbye to him, and then turned into golden light and rose into the sky. The sergeants wanted to tie a rope to Wu Meiniang, but when they saw Pei Zhenzhen directly offering a black chicken to float in the air, they pulled Wu Meiniang up again.

After Wu Meiniang got on the chicken, she pulled out her hand that held Pei Zhenzhen, and several people sat on the black chicken and slowly landed, under the cliff, her father Wu Taifu was already waiting here.

He looked at Wu Meiniang, his eyes showed concern, but there was no expression on his face, and he said coldly, "Since you are fine, go back to the house with me." ”

Pei Zhenzhen's heart trembled when he heard this, only to feel that everything around him suddenly lost color, and he immediately clenched his fists, as if he wanted to do something.

But without waiting for him to act, Wu Meiniang respectfully said to Mrs. Wu, "Daddy, you promise to wait for me to finish the assessment before going back, this is my last request to enter the palace, and I hope that Daddy can fulfill it!"

Wu Taifu sighed lightly and nodded in acquiescence, she saluted respectfully, and then left Pei Zhenzhen and walked in the direction of the academy.

Pei Zhenzhen just wanted to chase after him, but Taifu Wu stopped him and said in a deep voice, "Since the little brother is a cultivator, he should also cut off the fate of the earth." Even if you don't, then you should know that you and Mei Niang are people of two worlds, you have your road to go, and she also has her fate to carry, I hope you will do it yourself!"

Pei Zhenzhen ignored him, and then walked towards Wu Meiniang, but his sentence of people from two worlds was still deeply rooted in his heart.

At this time, a sergeant came over and asked Mrs. Wu and said, "My lord, do you want to get rid of that kid?"

Wu Taifu shook his head lightly and replied, "Don't worry about them, just withdraw the soldiers of the academy, my daughter should naturally know what she should do." ”

Pei Zhenzhen and Wu Meiniang came to the college, and after explaining the situation to Nan Bowan and his classmates, they went back to the dormitory together.

As soon as he entered the dormitory, Pei Zhenzhen took Wu Meiniang's hand, and said with a fanatical look in his eyes, "Meiniang, I'll help you enter the Xiuzhen Avenue!"

But Wu Meiniang just smiled faintly and asked, "Are you in your dream in the cave, do you have me?"

Seeing Pei Zhenzhen nodding again and again, she asked again, "Then is there her in your dream?"

Pei Zhenzhen was silent instantly, but slowly lowered his head.

Wu Meiniang saw through his thoughts, stroked his cheek, and said, "If you are really so amorous, then you are not the true immortal I admire." ”

hugged him tightly with tears, and cried bitterly, "You have what you can't let go, and I also have what I insist on, but I'm willing to wait for you." I will be married in the palace in three days, and if you are willing to give me hope, then I will wait for you to take me away!"

Then the two of them snuggled up to each other's beds as they did in a cave, except that neither of them slept that night, and they did not get up and leave the dormitory until the bell rang for the beginning of the examination.

The location of the assessment was still in the original classroom, and each student had prepared pen, ink, paper and inkstone in front of them, and most of them seemed nervous and expectant. Only Pei Zhenzhen and Wu Meiniang had faces as heavy as water, and their eyes showed a trace of loss and melancholy.

At this time, Nan Bowan stepped forward, swept all the students with satisfied eyes, and said loudly, "The topic of our assessment this time is 'choice', the so-called everything has gains and losses, life trivial matters, and national affairs are also the same, everyone please write your opinions on paper." ”

After he finished speaking, some students scratched their heads, some students bit their pens, and some students were struggling to write.

Wu Meiniang, who has always had excellent grades, couldn't put down her pen for a long time after hearing this topic, and when she looked at Pei Zhenzhen, Pei Zhenzhen only wrote a few words hastily, got up and handed in the paper, and walked out of the classroom without looking back.

The blank piece of paper reads:

"If there is an afterlife, keep your promise. ”
