In the book, the villain male second was conquered by me and became a loyal dog

Seeing that Yu Qingci's anger had not subsided yet, Tong Huanyou had no choice but to force him to wander around again.

On the river channel, cruise ships are sailing leisurely in the river, their bows gently splitting the calm water surface, leaving behind spreading ripples.

On the river bank, bluestone steps extend all the way along the river.

Several women were squatting there, washing clothes with soap nuts. Their shadows were reflected in the water, swaying slightly with the waves.

The clothes in my hands rose and fell in the water, and the soapberry foam sparkled with colorful light in the sun.

The two came here.

Tong Huanyou's eyes suddenly fell on the soapy water that the women were using to wash clothes.

"Qingci, wait for me here for a while."

Tong Huanyou said this, then let go of Yu Qingci's hand and walked towards them quickly.

She bent down slightly and said in a sweet voice, "Beautiful sisters, can you give me some soap water?"

The women looked up and saw a cute and sweet-spoken girl, and they smiled happily.

The woman who was closest to Tong Huanyou stopped what she was doing and scooped some soapberry water with a small bamboo tube.

He handed it to her and said with a smile, "Take it, little girl."

Tong Huanyou quickly took it, her eyes curved into crescents, and she bowed and said, "Thank you, beautiful sister. Goodbye, sister."

After saying that, she ran back with the soapnut water.

"What are you going to do with this?" Yu Qingci frowned and asked in confusion.

"Let's play." Tong Huanyou smiled and waved to the cruise ship not far away on the other side.

"Boatman! We want to get on the boat!"

The boatman not far away heard the call and responded quickly: "Okay, I'll be right there!"

With a bamboo pole, the boat slowly sailed towards them.

Tong Huanyou couldn't wait to get on the boat, then turned around and stretched out his hand as if to pull Yu Qingci.

Yu Qingci looked at the little hand, raised his eyebrows slightly, and a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Then his body shook and he was standing steadily on the boat.

"You are good at fighting, that's amazing." Tong Huanyou muttered.

I also want to show my gentlemanly demeanor.

"How can a woman help a man onto a boat?"

Yu Qingci leaned over slightly, lifted the pearl curtain on the boat, tilted his head slightly, and gave Tong Huanyou a teasing look.

Seeing this, Tong Huanyou walked in with a smug look on his face.

The cruise ship is decorated warmly and elegantly, with soft cushions and exquisite small tables filled with fresh fruit snacks and sake.

Tong Huanyou found a comfortable place to sit down, resting his hands on his chin and looking at Yu Qingci across the table.

"Young lady, please sit tight."

The boatman shouted loudly and pushed gently again.

The cruise ship slowly left the shore and sailed down the river.

"Youyou has been looking at me, why?"

Tong Huanyou chuckled: "You look good-looking. If Qing Ci were in my world, he would definitely be a super popular star."

"Celebrity? What is that?" Yu Qingci looked curious.

Tong Huanyou thought for a moment and explained: "There are many people who like you."

Yu Qingci looked at those eyes that sparkled like stars, and said word by word: "As long as Youyou likes me, that's enough."

Tong Huanyou felt a little shy because of Yu Qingci's unexpected love words, and quickly turned her head to look out the window.

The weeping willows on the bank are swaying, and the tender green willow branches are dancing in the wind, just like long green silk hair swaying gently.

Willow branches occasionally brushed across the water, creating small circles of halos.

In the distance, the white-walled and black-tiled houses are built along the water, and are fully reflected on the sparkling river surface.

It is just like the ink and wash painting of the world written by literati and poets.

This reminded her of the most famous story in Hangzhou, the Legend of the White Snake.

"Qing Ci, have you heard of the Legend of the White Snake?" Tong Huan turned around and asked leisurely.

"I seldom listen to stories." Yu Qingci supported his forehead and looked at her with a lazy look.

Tong Huanyou's eyes lit up when he heard this. He quickly stood up and walked around to Yu Qingci, holding his chin with both hands, and said excitedly:

"How about I tell you a story today?"

"Okay." Yu Qingci nodded slightly and looked at her tenderly.

So, Tong Huanyou cleared his throat:

"A long, long time ago, there was a white snake named Bai Suzhen. Because she was saved by a woodcutter in her previous life, she practiced for a thousand years and turned into a human form. She came to the human world to find her benefactor and repay her gratitude."

"One day, by the misty West Lake, she met a scholar named Xu Xian. Xu Xian was holding an oil-paper umbrella, and Bai Suzhen recognized him at first sight as the reincarnation of her benefactor."

"They met on the Broken Bridge, borrowed an umbrella to express their love, and from then on they fell in love and got to know each other, and soon they got married."

"After marriage, Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen opened a medicine shop together to cure diseases and save lives, benefiting the people."

"But the good times didn't last long. There was an old monk named Fahai in Jinshan Temple. He had great magical powers, but he was stubborn and unyielding."

When Tong Huanyou said this, his brows were furrowed, and his face was full of indignation.

"He saw that Bai Suzhen was a snake demon and believed that Xu Xian had been bewitched by the demon and had violated the righteous path. He was determined to break up this loving couple."

"So Xu Xian was tricked by Fahai and saw Bai Suzhen's original form, then he was tricked into going to Jinshan Temple and put under house arrest."

"Bai Suzhen disregarded her own safety and flooded Jinshan Temple to save her husband, and started a fierce battle with Fahai."

"But in the end, Bai Suzhen's magical power was greatly reduced because she was pregnant, and she was suppressed by Fahai under Leifeng Pagoda."

"Xu Xian was heartbroken, but he could do nothing but watch from outside the tower."

Yu Qingci lowered his eyes and said in a cold voice: "He is so useless."

Tong Huanyou asked: "Who?"

"Xu Xian."

"Many people think so, and I think so too." Tong Huanyou nodded in surprise.

"But... because he is the protagonist, I overlooked one thing."

"What's the matter?" Yu Qingci raised his head and fixed his eyes on Tong Huanyou.

"He is a mortal. He does not have the monstrous abilities of Fahai and Bai Suzhen. Under the absolute power, he does not even have the ability to resist."

"If I were Xu Xian, I would also be scared when my wife suddenly turned into a giant python."

"I will also be wavering in my heart at that time."

Hearing this, Yu Qingci remained silent, the light in his eyes dimmed, and a strong sense of loss surged into his heart like a tide.

It turns out that she is also afraid of monsters.

His fingertips trembled slightly as he suppressed the turmoil in his heart and tried to keep his face calm.

But the tightly furrowed brows and slightly trembling eyelashes revealed a slight sense of uneasiness.

"But although Xu Xian was afraid, he still believed that she was his wife."

"So he waited outside Leifeng Pagoda, raised the child alone, and never married until he died of old age."

"This is the only thing he can stick to for his lover."

Yu Qingci's eyes were full of confusion, and he felt an inexplicable blockage in his heart.

He didn't know how to answer Tong Huanyou's words. He just stared out the window blankly, with a dazed look on his face.

"If humans and monsters could live in the same environment from the beginning, they could live happily like a normal couple."

Suddenly, Tong Huanyou slapped the table excitedly, his eyes sparkling:

"Hey! Qingci, do you think it is possible that the leader of the monsters and the leader of the human race will reach an alliance and formulate peace rules and laws?"
