Chapter 434: You're Not Her After All
Qiao Yuan's heart beat violently when he heard the word "Mingruo", he had obviously never heard of this name, but he had an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
"Qiao Daoyou, what's wrong with you?"
Ming Ruo saw that Qiao Yuan's face became very strange, and he couldn't help but ask.
"It's okay, you...... Can you call me by my first name?"
Qiao Yuan came back to his senses, pursed his lips, and asked in a very low voice.
The pleading tone, combined with his pale face and expectant gaze, made it difficult to say no.
Ming Ruo only felt that her cheeks were a little hot when she was looked at by Qiao Yuan's burning gaze, she didn't nod or shake her head, but walked out of the cave without saying a word.
Qiao Yuan showed a trace of loss on his face, and sighed in a low voice, then he tightened his mind and began to check the injuries in his body.
Because of the use of that kind of secret technique with great sequelae, the injury in Qiao Yuan's body is very serious, I am afraid that if he does not recuperate quietly for three or five years, the injury will not be better.
And during this period of time, he can't use his cultivation, it can be said that Qiao Yuan is almost the same as a mortal who is seriously injured, but his physical body is still much stronger than that of mortals.
In the past month, Ming Ruo would enter the cave every day to help Qiao Yuan heal his injuries, and talk to him by the way to relieve his boredom.
After getting along for a long time, the relationship between the two gradually became much closer, and I don't know if it was because of Qiao Yuan's pleading words that day, or if Ming Ruo consciously became familiar with Qiao Yuan, she no longer called Qiao Yuan a Taoist friend, but called him by his name.
"There is a peninsula at the southernmost tip of Xuanming Kingdom, and the locals call the end of the peninsula the end of the world, standing there, you can only see the sea and the sky connecting each other, as if it is really the end of the sky, the corner of the sea. ”
Qiao Yuan sat cross-legged on the stone bed, looking at Ming Ruo, who was sitting on the side, blinking with big eyes and a curious face, he smiled extremely brightly, and the corners of his lips and eyes were gentle.
"I've grown so big, I haven't seen the sea yet, Qiao Yuan, tell me the story of the sea again. ”
Mingruo's watery apricot eyes were full of longing, she raised her hand to pluck the wisp of green silk on her forehead behind her ears, and sat forward, her face full of smiles.
The days passed like this, until a year later, Qiao Yuan was finally able to get out of bed and walk.
However, the happiest person is not Qiao Yuan, but Ming Ruo, she smiled like a flower, lifted the red dress lightly, and looked happy like a dancing butterfly, Qiao Yuan stood in the distance and looked at it, and felt satisfied, and there was no other thought.
"It turns out that the doubt I have been trying to solve for the past 90 years is you, it turns out that the person who has been hidden in my heart is you, and the person who makes my heart feel like crirch is still you. ”
Qiao Yuan stood at the mouth of the cave, looking at Ming Ruo shuttling among the flowers, and unconsciously left two lines of tears in the corners of his eyes.
At this moment, his eyes were incomparably clear, and the expression on his face was full of determination.
But it didn't take long for the brightness in his eyes to slowly dissipate, and his firmness turned into a tender smile on his face, and he walked in front of Mingruo in a few steps.
"Qiao Yuan, you ...... What's wrong with you?"
Ming Ruo saw that Qiao Yuan suddenly leaned so close, her face was almost on her face, her pretty face flushed with a flush, shrunk her head slightly, lowered her eyebrows, and asked shyly.
It was not words that answered her, but a kiss full of affection, Qiao Yuan slowly wrapped his hands around Mingruo's slender waist, forgetting and gently feeling the sweetness.
Ming Ruo's delicate body trembled, and the whole person was like being struck by lightning, but she didn't resist at all, just let the man in front of her linger on her lips.
In the depths of love, Qiao Yuan hugged Ming Ruo tightly, his cheeks were close to each other, his lips lightly touched Ming Ruo's delicate earlobe, and said softly.
"Mingruo, wait for me, I'll go find you. ”
Ming Ruo was confused when she heard it, but she only felt that her body was weak, and she couldn't even speak, if Qiao Yuan let go of her hand, she was afraid that she would collapse on the ground.
After speaking, Qiao Yuan picked up Ming Ruoheng, looked at her with tenderness on his face, and walked towards the cave step by step.
When Qiao Yuan put Ming Ruo on the stone bed, Ming Ruo lowered her eyes shyly and said in an inaudible voice.
"Qiao Yuan, don't ...... Don't ...... like that"
Qiao Yuan sat on the edge of the bed and didn't reply, just lightly imprinted the blush with his gentle lips.
Qiao Yuan delicately and tenderly kissed Mingruo's red lips, cheeks, nose, and slightly closed eyes, bit by bit, step by step, like tasting a cup of tea and caring for a beloved thing.
Just when Ming Ruo was distracted and let out a slight gasp, she only felt a drop of hot and moist liquid fall from her hot cheeks.
When I opened my eyes, I saw a pair of incomparably clear pupils, and at this moment, a faint tear was falling from those pupils, which happened to fall on my fiery cheeks.
"Qiao Yuan, what's wrong with you?"
Ming Ruo bit her lower lip lightly, a trace of inexplicable loss flashed in her eyes, and asked in a low voice.
"You're not her after all. ”
Qiao Yuan stopped his tears and sighed secretly in his heart, but a soft smile appeared on his face and shook his head.
Then Qiao Yuan slowly lay down beside Ming Ruo, wiped away the tears on her face with one hand, held her little hand with the other hand, and looked at Ming Ruo gently and affectionately.
Without Qiao Yuan's kiss, Ming Ruo gradually recovered from her confusion, she turned her head sideways and looked at Qiao Yuan, her eyes were full of sweetness, but for some reason there was a sadness in her heart.
The two of them didn't say a word, and watched it like this for a day and a night, until Qiao Yuan's body was numb and he needed to meditate to heal, Ming Ruo helped him up and helped him regulate his body as usual.
Another year has passed in the blink of an eye, and because of Mingruo's help in regulating his body, Qiao Yuan's injuries have recovered quickly, and now he can mobilize some cultivation slightly.
The valley they live in is very secret, and in the past two years, no one or demon beasts have disturbed them, and the two have been accompanied by each other, living in seclusion in the valley, like a fairy couple, so uncomfortable.
"Qiao Yuan, it's better to ...... Why don't we go to church and get married?"
On this day, the sun was just right, the two of them snuggled up on a grass and basked in the sun, Mingruo had a sweet smile on his face, looked up at Qiao Yuan, and said softly.
Hearing the words of worshipping the hall and getting married, Qiao Yuan's body trembled, and he thought of his wife who was still in Qingfeng Village, his sister Qingxuan.
Feeling the tremor of Qiao Yuan's body and the change in his expression, the smile on Ming Ruo's face immediately froze, and a bad premonition suddenly appeared in his heart.
"You...... What's wrong with you?"
With a hint of uneasiness in Ming Ruo's big eyes, he asked tentatively.
"It's okay, I just feel that I have wronged you to marry you here, and when I recover from my injuries, I will impact the Yuan Infant Period, once I reach the Yuan Infant Period, I will go to the Hidden Immortal Sect to propose marriage in the open light. ”
Qiao Yuan held Mingruo's slender waist with one hand, stroked her hair with the other, said with affection in his eyes, and then imprinted his soft lips on her smooth forehead.
When Ming Ruo heard this, the uneasiness in his eyes immediately disappeared, and his eyes were full of tenderness and sweetness.
She made a soft "um" and pressed her side face against Qiao Yuan's chest, feeling Qiao Yuan's heartbeat, and at the same time, her mind couldn't help but imagine what it would be like that day.
"Alas, all this is false. ”
Qiao Yuan lightly touched his chin to her hair, a clear light flashed in his affectionate eyes, and he sighed secretly in his heart.
In fact, Qiao Yuan had come to his senses as early as a year ago, knowing that this was just a test of demons that he had experienced when he was married.
But Qiao Yuan knew that this was an illusion caused by the demons in his heart, but he still couldn't help but sink into it.
Time passed quickly under the company of the two of them, and it was seven years in the blink of an eye.
Qiao Yuan's injuries recovered as early as five years ago, but he didn't propose to leave here, and Ming Ruo was the same, as if the two of them had a tacit intention to live here for the rest of their lives.
The arrival of this seventh year is the ninety-ninth year that Qiao Yuan has sunk into this Heart Demon Realm, if he can't break the Heart Demon Realm within a hundred years, then he will definitely fail.
"Alas!"
With a long sigh, Qiao Yuan took a deep look at the beauty in his arms, wanting to remember her smile firmly.
"Qiao Yuan, you ...... What's wrong with you?"
Ming Ruo saw Qiao Yuan's strange appearance, and felt a pain in his heart for no reason, and hurriedly asked.
Qiao Yuan didn't answer, just stroked her cheek with his hand, and then Qiao Yuan's eyes flashed with a clear light, and he slowly sat on the ground.
"My heart is strong, my heart is unshakable, one day I will go to the Hidden Immortal Sect in person to fulfill my promise. ”
Qiao Yuan muttered in a low voice, and then he slowly closed his eyes, slowly calming all the fluctuations in his heart.
I don't know how long it took, Qiao Yuan suddenly felt the Jin Dan in his body shrink sharply, just in an instant, from the size of a fist to the size of a peach pit, and at the same time, his cultivation also changed from the Great Perfection of Jin Dan to the early stage of Jin Dan.
A dazzling golden mangs shot out from his dantian, enveloping Qiao Yuan's whole person, and at this moment, thousands of golden mangs rose to the ground, and he seemed to have become a Da Luo Jin Immortal.
At the same time, Qiao Yuan's eyes opened suddenly, and two golden rays of light shot out from his eyes, as if they had turned into substance, making the world tremble.
"This ...... That's what it is...... Perfect Jindan?"
Zhan Yuan, who was outside the waterhole, saw Qiao Yuan, who was full of dazzling golden light, and was immediately stunned on the spot.
And when he saw the light from Qiao Yuan's eyes, he had a feeling of fright, as if Qiao Yuan really had the power of a golden immortal.
But before Zhanyuan had time to think about it, there were changes in the sky again, the wind and clouds were reversed, the aura surged, the blue sky suddenly darkened, and a round of scorching sun was directly covered by the black clouds that suddenly appeared.
This scene looked like a storm was coming, but Zhanyuan's expression changed drastically, twitching the corners of his mouth, and said in a trembling voice.
"This ...... This is...... No way...... No way. ”
Before he finished speaking, he rejected his idea with an extremely firm expression, and thinking of that guess, Zhan Yuan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
But even so, his eyes were fixed on the sky, and his heart was pounding, as if it was about to jump out of his throat.
Above the sky, the wind whirled and whimpered, and the clouds and mist rolled like dragons surging in it.
The aura within a radius of thousands of miles was instantly drawn and gathered into a black cloud above Qiao Yuan's head.
The black clouds pressed the realm, as if the sky and the earth were about to be connected, and a depressing atmosphere shrouded the surroundings, making it difficult for people to breathe.
All of a sudden, the birds, beasts, fish, and insects within a radius of thousands of miles hissed one after another, desperately running towards the distance.
And the demon beasts thousands of miles away were even more wailing, lying on the ground and trembling, as if they felt the supreme power.
This is not the case with first-order and second-order demon beasts, even third-order demon beasts are like this, and even the fourth-order demon beasts in the distance also showed extremely frightened expressions when they saw the changes here.
With a bang, a red thunderbolt pierced the sky, illuminating the dim canopy of heaven for a brief moment.
Zhan Yuan saw the red thunder passing by, and the only trace of luck in his heart was finally completely shattered, he raised his hand and pointed to the sky, his face showed horror, and said in a trembling voice.
"This ...... This is...... Tribulation!"
