In the moonlight, the mountains look even more desolate and mysterious, and everything in the mountains and forests is shrouded in a soft silver light.

A quaint cottage on a hillside not far away seems to be shrouded in soft moonlight, and the wood exudes a faint yellowish hue, which is particularly peaceful and peaceful.

Wild vines and trees cast dappled shadows in the moonlight, outlining charming lines that make the whole mountain forest even more mysterious and fascinating.

The crystal clear stream is reflected by the silver moonlight, and a layer of silver waves is faint, which is picturesque.

The breeze blows and the moonlight shines on the leaves, setting off a peaceful and enchanting night.

The whole scenery seems to be endowed with a dreamlike sense of existence, and the beautiful women next to you make people feel like they are in a fairyland.

But a cold sentence broke the reverie in Zhao Mingyuan's heart and pulled him back to reality.

"How long are you going to hold it?"

Only then did Zhao Mingyuan realize that he was still holding Shi Qingxuan's slender hand, so he reluctantly let go of his hand and rubbed his nose awkwardly.

The refreshing fragrance and Shi Qingxuan's suddenly sharpened gaze made Zhao Mingyuan realize how misleading his actions were, and he hurriedly put down his hand.

It's so embarrassing!

Zhao Mingyuan didn't know where to put his hand, Shi Qingxuan wouldn't treat him as that kind of pervert, right?

In order to resolve the embarrassment, Zhao Mingyuan took a few steps forward and came to the stream by the forest.

The water of the stream was unusually clear, and the moonlight shone obliquely on the water, reflecting his appearance.

Zhao Mingyuan reached into the stream and washed his hands, the feeling of coolness and pleasure in his heart, washed the fatigue caused by running for days.

Shi Qingxuan didn't seem to be angry, he also came to the stream, kicked off his shoes casually, revealing a pair of slender feet that were as clear as jade, and freely immersed himself in the cold stream, placing the bamboo flute on the grass beside him, and staring at the water.

After a while, Shi Qingxuan said softly: "Why does King Ming have to chase after him?" “

Zhao Mingyuan was naturally embarrassed to say it directly, so he said: "Qing Xuan's sudden disappearance naturally makes people worry about your safety. ”

Shi Qingxuan stopped speaking after hearing Zhao Mingyuan's answer, as if she was attracted by the beautiful scenery under the moon, and stopped talking for a long time.

I don't know if she has already guessed the results of the four demons of the Evil Extreme Sect, and she didn't even ask.

Zhao Mingyuan couldn't help but ask Shi Qingxuan curiously: "Then why does Qingxuan avoid me?" ”

Shi Qingxuan turned his face sideways and smiled: "Who told you to hold someone's hand and not let go, scaring them." Qing Xuan didn't expect that the king of Ming, who was praised by the world, would be such a disciple. ”

Her voice was soft and playful, with a hint of jokingness, but the relaxed tone was clearly much closer.

Feeling that Shi Qingxuan's perception of himself seemed to be good, Zhao Mingyuan relieved himself.

The two talk about the stars and the moon, from poetry and songs to the music of the flute and qin, and the communication between them seems to be like this environment, natural and harmonious, adding a tenderness and warmth to the whole story.

Before he knew it, it was late at night, and Zhao Mingyuan noticed the sleepiness on Shi Qingxuan's face.

Although it is nothing that a person who practices martial arts does not sleep all night, Zhao Mingyuan naturally will not be inconsiderate and pull the beauty to talk like this all night.

However, there was only one hut where the hunters rested when they entered the mountain, and there was no room for two people.

Their relationship has not yet reached that point, and Shi Qingxuan naturally will not invite Zhao Mingyuan to sleep together.

Not to mention sharing the same bed, even if Zhao Mingyuan is allowed to enter the house to lay on the floor, it is absolutely impossible.

Isn't that a wolf luring in?

With Shi Qingxuan's wisdom, he naturally wouldn't do such a stupid thing.

However, just letting Zhao Mingyuan sleep in the mountains and forests, but sleeping peacefully in the house, Shi Qingxuan did feel a little uneasy and guilty in his heart.

Seeing this, Zhao Mingyuan said: "I see that the water of this stream is clear, and I want to take a bath and wash it." Qing Xuan is sleeping peacefully, don't worry about me. ”

Hearing Zhao Mingyuan say that he wanted to take a bath, Shi Qingxuan was naturally inconvenient to say more. It's just that Zhao Mingyuan didn't seem to have a bag with him, and he must not have a change of clothes, so he said, "Wait a minute, I'll prepare a change of clothes for you." ”

After that, without waiting for Zhao Mingyuan to answer, Shi Qingxuan lifted Xiuzu out of the water, moved her delicate body, took out a handkerchief from her arms to wipe off the water stains, put on embroidered shoes, and turned around and entered the hut.

After a while, Shi Qingxuan walked over again and handed Zhao Mingyuan a small burden.

Zhao Mingyuan naturally wouldn't bathe in front of this hut like this, thanked him softly, and walked upstream along the stream.

The girls are going to sleep, how can they stay here and not leave.

As a result, Zhao Mingyuan missed the strange expression on Shi Qingxuan's face.

Zhao Mingyuan walked a hundred zhang upstream along the creek and came to a small forest before stopping.

Looking back, the hut has been covered by the forest and can't be seen, and naturally the beauty in front of the hut can't be seen. Only then did Zhao Mingyuan untie his clothes and step into the stream.

The crystal clear water brushed his skin, leaving him feeling cool and refreshed.

In fact, Zhao Mingyuan's desire to take a bath is certainly an excuse to leave, but it is also a real need.

Although Zhao Mingyuan's current cultivation is in the realm, his body has already reached the realm of cold and heat after many tempering, and it is naturally impossible to have any peculiar smell due to long-term travel.

But Zhao Mingyuan had just been besieged by tens of millions of bats, although he had not been harmed, and even the clothes of countless bats had not been stained with the slightest trace of blood, but the strong smell of blood had already infected his whole body, and Zhao Mingyuan's extraordinary sense of smell was unbearable.

Zhao Mingyuan felt that he was covered in the smell of bats, and knew that such an appearance would make Shi Qingxuan feel uncomfortable.

Therefore, after realizing this, Zhao Mingyuan didn't dare to get too close to Shi Qingxuan, so as not to cause her trouble.

Zhao Mingyuan bent down, wet his hair with his hands, and then slowly rubbed his shoulders and back to wash away the dirt and fishy smell on his body.

With each rubbing, he seemed to feel the irritability and tension in his heart being diluted little by little.

Standing in the stream, the clear water seemed to wash away the uneasiness and troubles in his heart, making Zhao Mingyuan feel a kind of inner peace and tranquility.

Such a cleansing is not only a purification of the body, but also a relaxation and liberation of the heart, injecting a refreshment and hope into a new journey.

Zhao Mingyuan stood by the river, bathing in the clear stream water, his true qi was everywhere, a white mist rose, and there was no longer a drop of water on his body.

I have to say that true qi is also a productive force, which can bring a lot of convenience to life.

Without looking at the clothes in his storage space, Zhao Mingyuan opened the burden that Shi Qingxuan had given him, and found that it was actually a scribe's suit.

Changing into the clothes that Shi Qingxuan had prepared for himself, Zhao Mingyuan unexpectedly found that there was a faint fragrance on this dress.

This familiar fragrance is no stranger to Zhao Mingyuan. Just because this is the same as the breath on Shi Qingxuan's body, obviously, this dress Shi Qingxuan once worn.

Only then did Zhao Mingyuan realize that it seemed that Shi Qingxuan's face was different when he gave him clothes just now, and it seemed that it was because of this matter.

How can there be a scribe's uniform here?

Presumably, Shi Qingxuan often dressed as a man for convenience when she was walking outside the rivers and lakes, and this was the clothes she wore at that time.

Wearing the clothes that Shi Qingxuan was wearing, feeling the faint fragrance lingering around him, Zhao Mingyuan's heart couldn't help but feel a different feeling.

The fragrant fragrance made thousands of charms rise in Zhao Mingyuan's heart.

This intimacy generated by indirect contact with Shi Qingxuan's body seemed to make the connection between them closer and more special.

Zhao Mingyuan quietly sniffed the aroma on his clothes, as if he could smell Shi Qingxuan's breath, and this sweetness seemed to be infused with her tenderness and care.

This aroma and feeling made Zhao Mingyuan smile slightly, and a warmth surged in his heart.

Shi Qingxuan was able to put on his clothes without hesitation, which showed her closeness and trust in Zhao Mingyuan.

Zhao Mingyuan felt this special friendship, and his heart was full of warmth and touch.

These subtle actions deeply touched Zhao Mingyuan's heart, and he understood that Shi Qingxuan had regarded him as a close person, and he also cherished and appreciated her from the bottom of his heart.

This closeness made Zhao Mingyuan more certain of his feelings for Shi Qingxuan, and he realized that his love for her was no longer just a simple friendship, but a deep and indescribable emotion.

Zhao Mingyuan began to miss every beautiful moment with Shi Qingxuan, and his thoughts were immersed in the warm imagination of the past.

He closed his eyes and imagined walking with Shi Qingxuan in the mountains and forests of Shudi, holding hands to go to the difficulties together, enjoying the fresh air and verdant scenery in the mountains.

He imagined the two of them hugging and dancing in the moonlight, the tacit understanding and tacit understanding without words, as if the whole world had stopped turning, and only the two of them were in each other's arms.

Zhao Mingyuan gradually realized that his feelings for Shi Qingxuan had gone beyond the scope of friendship, but a deep love.

His heartbeat and longing for Shi Qingxuan turned into a strong desire, he wanted to share this emotion with Shi Qingxuan, and wanted to walk through the years to come with her.

He was attracted to Shi Qingxuan's kindness, strength and intelligence, and she had become one of the most important people in his heart.

Zhao Mingyuan decided to respond to Shi Qingxuan's closeness and trust with sincerity and hard work.

He hopes to be a solid support for her, giving her warmth and support.

He is determined to use his actions to interpret his inner emotions and the pursuit of Shi Qingxuan's bright future.

From that moment on, Zhao Mingyuan began to realize that the relationship between him and Shi Qingxuan had gone beyond ordinary friendship, but was a deep emotional interdependence.

This closeness and trust will become the driving force for them to move forward together in the future, and it is also the beginning of the seeds of love between them slowly taking root and sprouting in their hearts.

He felt the love and care given to him by Shi Qingxuan, and felt the tacit understanding and emotional exchange between the two.

At this moment, he was even more sure of his feelings for Shi Qingxuan.

However, Zhao Mingyuan also understands that this is a precious and fragile emotion that needs to be treated with caution.

He decided to express his heart at the right time to let Shi Qingxuan know his deep affection and love for her.

This charming idea made him full of good expectations for the future, and he hoped to create their own happy story with Shi Qingxuan.

With such a charming thought, Zhao Mingyuan didn't know when he sank into sleep.
