The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

The light and shadow on Long Qi's well-defined face emitted a clear and beautiful halo. She looked at Long Qi and felt an inexplicable sense of security. This was a man who could defeat several wild dogs. Even if there was anything unusual around him, he could easily solve it.

Today, because of Amber, we were delayed for some time, so it took us a whole day to reach the foot of the mountain. Then we only need to ride fast to reach Luoyang in about half a day. We can indeed take a rest at night and continue on the road during the day.

She looked up at him, nodded, sat by the fire and watched the moon, which was covered by clouds again. Then she lay on the fallen wood pile and closed her eyes.

The buzzing of insects and the crackling of firewood...all of this can help to relieve the fatigue in your body.

At this moment, she actually fell asleep.

Between closing my eyes and opening them again, an hour had passed.

She just felt aches all over her body, and slowly opened her eyes a little bit, looking up at the sky with a distracted gaze. It was still pitch black.

Long Qi was fiddling with the fire, with his slender knuckles and fair face. She couldn't help but wonder: this tall and thin man who looked pampered learned his kung fu from somewhere. Not only was he good at light work, but he could also easily handle a group of wild dogs with bared fangs and claws.

It would be great if she also had this skill, so that she wouldn't be in a passive position when facing the enemy; if she could defeat the enemy, she could protect herself, and if she couldn't, she could use her lightness skill to escape.

Not to the point where I'm putting all my eggs in one basket...

A pair of eyes flashing with Bi Bo's fire met hers. Li Xiying's eyelashes trembled slightly again, and her pupils dilated and inexplicably focused. At first, her eyelashes blocked the light, so she was not afraid of anything, but he seemed to notice that she was staring at him intently, and he moved closer.

"Wouldn't it be clearer if you look at it this way?" he joked.

Li Xiying saw that his face was glowing with light and evaded the question: "I just woke up." As she spoke, she stretched herself lazily. She felt sore and weak all over after such a long sleep.

Not only did I not feel less tired, but I felt even more tired.

"What were you thinking about just now?" he asked curiously.

Li Xiying avoided his eager gaze.

"I think it should be dawn soon. It's a good time to travel. What do you think?" She stood up and patted the dust off her body.

"Really?" Long Qi obviously questioned, "Then why did you stare at me for so long?"

"Why can't I look at you anymore? Do I have to have a reason?"

If you dig deep into the matter, it's just like when I was in the Prime Minister's Mansion. There has to be a definite answer!

She compromised, but since he kept asking, she just went with the flow: "I was wondering where you learned your skills. I don't want to ask anything, I'm just curious."

"Is Xingfu not shallow?" He also stood up and said, "I will teach you?

Li Xi was slightly surprised again. She didn't expect him to answer like this, so she questioned him, "How can it be so easy to learn in such a short time? If you haven't practiced hard since childhood to lay a foundation for your skills, wouldn't anyone be able to master it?"

She had never seen many people who could perform Qinggong, and she had mostly seen them in storybooks. He was the second person she had seen who could do it.

"With my guidance, you will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort." He suddenly stretched out his palm in front of her, then leaned forward and looked at her softly.

She often realized that this person spoke very differently than before, and she no longer saw his lukewarm attitude. She could even often sense the rare emotional fluctuations in his tone.

At first she thought he was a snobbish person, but his attitude changed drastically after he knew her identity. But now, there should be no one more destitute than her. She is about to become a princess of a fallen country, but she can still get his help. She already knows that he is not that kind of person.

It felt like a frozen person suddenly came to life with flesh and blood; it was truly magical.

"It's just that I don't have time to learn..."

Before Li Xiying finished speaking, his hand waited for too long, and before she knew it, her hand was taken away.

“Huh?”…

He grabbed hold of her and she followed him, but she moved too fast and staggered a little. Fortunately, he gently held her up and with his support, she was able to run steadily with her skirt lifted.

She raised her eyes and looked at his back, "Where are you taking me?"

"Teach you how to use Qinggong." Long Qi's lips were moist, and he turned around and protected her waist with one hand.

"Calm your breath and breathe freely. The core is in the Dantian. You can jump three feet by standing on tiptoe. Find a good foothold, for example..."

As he spoke, he brought Li Xixiao off the ground, and with a subtle leap he reached a huge rock more than ten feet high.

Feeling the breeze blowing on her face, she looked at the inky black mountains in the distance, with lush vegetation and mist lingering around, like a beautiful scene.

There's a feeling of being in it without knowing it.

"Qinggong is just about learning how to jump high?" Li Xiying asked in confusion.

The corners of Long Qi's lips stagnated, and then he smiled helplessly: "You can think so."

"How does one train to be able to jump so high?" She thought that anyone who could do this must have some extraordinary qualities, otherwise how could one train to reach the same level as a flea?

"If you train well, your body will be fast. You can even ride the wind and appear as light as a swallow. You can even touch the water and cross the river." Long Qi smiled.

"You said I can achieve twice the result with half the effort. How do I do that?" She became more curious and felt that he was not the kind of person who would lie.

He said, "You should be able to get the hang of it after studying with me for half a year or so. After all, with me here, you can avoid a lot of detours."

"One year?" She frowned again, "Then forget it."

"Too long?" He guessed, then smiled and said, "It takes time to learn anything. The time I said is already very short. If you want to learn, you can learn it anywhere. I will teach you."

Li Xiying said, "It's not that it's too long, but I don't have time to learn it for the time being."

She didn't go to Luoyang for fun before, so how could she have the time to learn for a year or two before taking action!

Since he doesn't need to be taught, and it's not quite appropriate, it would be better to ask him to let him go and get on with his journey.

“You can come to me if you want to learn it in the future.” He gently pulled it up and let it float down with the wind. With a touch of his toes, the two of them reached the ground.

"I don't think it's necessary. If... I hadn't experienced this incident, someone would have taught me..." She concealed the darkness in her eyes, left him, and went to saddle the horse.

"Oh?" He held the bridle, calmly, "Who else can teach you?"

"That man is dead." Li Xi brushed his hand away and picked up the reins. "My fourth uncle once had an invisible secret guard who was assigned to protect me by chance. The first time was on the day of the banquet at the palace. He was seriously injured by the villains in order to protect me; and this time he lost his life in order to save me from the clutches of King Liang. If he was not dead, if everything was stable, I would also write to my fourth uncle and ask him for this secret guard, but there will never be that opportunity again..."

Although her fourth uncle comforted her that it was her duty, she was unwilling to agree with this understatement. Such a young and vibrant life paid for the word "duty". No matter what, Li Xiying would remember him all her life.

"A secret guard?" He remembered that on the day of moving the capital, there was a secret guard fighting alongside him. He was afraid that King Liang would chase the carriage, so he tried his best to stop him. If it weren't for the secret guard who fought to the death, he would have been more seriously injured and it would have been more difficult for him to leave smoothly.

But I didn't expect that after I finally brought him back, he died from excessive blood loss.

"So thank you for bringing him back. At least he won't die in the wilderness." Li Xiying grinned.

"You're welcome." He came back to his senses, his eyes burning, "The dead are gone, it seems that this has nothing to do with me teaching you Qinggong."

Could it be possible that the dead could come back to life to teach her?

Li Xi didn't quite understand. Although she was riding a horse, she wasn't much taller than him, but she still looked down at him, "Who said there's no conflict?"

She didn't know when his face got so close, his firm chin slightly raised, his red lips and white teeth, his eyes as black as ink. She couldn't help but step back slightly. His nose was so high that the tip of his nose almost touched hers.

She couldn't help but complain in her heart, was this person too tall or the horse too short...

He did not retreat, but his breath was hot around her, exuding a strong masculine scent that made her heart skip a beat. She only heard him say, "I would like to hear what the conflict is."
