The whole empire thought I was showing affection

Shen Chunyu lay softly against Gu Heqing's broad back, resting her chin on his shoulder, with one arm around his neck, and the other hand trying to hold up the white fox fur to shield them from the snow.

At this moment, the cultivation base of the two of them was almost exhausted, and even Xue Hua couldn't do it to isolate this point.

Gu Heqing carried him steadily on his back, and walked carefully and steadily, "You just need to support yourself, such a little snow is nothing to me."

"But my heart aches." Shen Chunyu said in his ear with a smile.

"...Then thank you, Young Master Shen, for your pity?" Gu Heqing lightly lifted him on his back, with a smile on his lips.

Shen Chunyu laughed and fell on his back, "You're welcome, who made Master Gu so pitiful."

After laughing for a while, he said sternly, "When I saw you before, you didn't block Xuehua—is there any reason?"

He was still thinking at the time, this man is really weird with snowflakes all over his head and face.

Gu Heqing sneered, and said casually, "Maybe it looks more romantic and unrestrained?"

It can't be said that he had a brain twitch for a while, and he wanted to use this method to suppress the half-awakened blood that was boiling wildly underneath, so as to keep himself awake, right?

He thought indifferently, it seemed that he had to find a way to fully awaken this bloodline sooner.

Shen Chunyu: "..."

He lightly punched Gu Heqing's back with his fist, and reprimanded fiercely, "Let you lie to me again!"

"I'm wronged, I really didn't lie to you." Gu Heqing cried out solemnly, "How dare I lie to you, Young Master Shen?"

"There's no sincerity at all." Shen Chunyu snorted coldly, and tapped his chin gently on his shoulder.

Gu Heqing gave a low laugh, and coaxed him gently, "Then, what kind of sincerity does Young Master Shen want?"

With one arm around the person, Shen Chunyu put her cheek against Gu Heqing's warm neck and remained silent for a long time.

After a while, he finally said in a muffled voice, "I'm the one who made you tired, and you want you to carry me down the mountain."

Having said that, Shen Chunyu also felt that it was a bit of an afterthought.To be so guilty, he shouldn't be unable to withstand Gu Heqing's temptation to carry him.

In fact, he was not so tired that he had to carry Gu Heqing on his back to go down the mountain.Walking and resting, making it harder, a little tired, and suffering a little bit, you can still walk down the mountain by yourself.No matter how bad it is, it is feasible to stay on the mountain, wait for the physical strength and cultivation to recover, and then go down the mountain.

Shen Chunyu was born noble, pampered by her father, doted on by her elder brother, and supported by those around her.

He doesn't have a single friend, either of the same age or of a different age.Maybe it's because he is too picky and demanding; there's also a reason for his aloof personality, outsiders say he's arrogant and aloof, cold and unapproachable; there's also the attitude of the people around him.

Rong Cheng, the youngest son of the Demon Emperor and Lord Jiuhua, and the younger brother of Zhang Huajun, who would not pursue and follow him?Of course, there are also those who are indifferent, distant, and respectful, because they are afraid of getting into trouble if they are not careful.

It was probably the first time that he made a bosom friend who was a match for chess, and it was the first time that a peer of his age sincerely treated him well, so that he couldn't help being nostalgic for this kindness and warmth, so that he delusionally wanted to make further progress.

In fact, it is acting like a baby and asking people to coax.

"I didn't know that young master Shen was so sentimental." Gu Heqing pretended to sigh.

The words of asking for a beating were spoken, and naturally received another small fist from Shen Chunyu.

With a smile in his voice, Gu Heqing said, "You only thought that you were the one who asked me to compete, but in fact, I also broke through when I competed with you. Without you, how could I break through to the next level so quickly? Compete with you , I am lucky. As for carrying you down the mountain, I suggested it first, I am willing, I am happy. No matter how many people want to carry young master Shen, they have no chance."

Shen Chunyu: "..." This is really killing people!Also, you are too good at coaxing people, right?

He buried his face tightly on Gu Heqing's back.

After walking for a while, he raised his head, "I took the elixir before, and now I have recovered a little, please let me down."

Gu Heqing shook his head, "Let me carry your back."

Shen Chunyu arched her head into his neck, "Aren't you tired?"

Gu Heqing shook his head again, "No, you are very light."

Shen Chunyu asked him, "Why?" Why did you carry him on your back and not put him down?

Gu Heqing thought about it seriously, "Maybe it's because the shoes are easy to get wet on the snow?"

Shen Chunyu: "..." You can see the heart in the innocence, and you can see the sincerity in the subtleties.

Gu Heqing shook his head and smiled, "How can there be so many reasons in the world? If you want to do it, then do it."

The moonlight and snow light shine together, and the sound of wind and snow fills the ears.

Laying on Gu Heqing's back with attachment, Shen Chunyu said softly in her heart:

"This man is really kind to me."

"I also want to be really nice to this person."

When we arrived at the small town at the foot of the mountain, the sky was already bright.

Shen Chunyu has been to this town before.

The town is not big, but it is quite old.The style of the wall courtyard is a bit old-fashioned, the bluestone bricks on the ground are mottled, and the shops and pavilions on both sides of the street also have a sense of vicissitudes.A very old and charming town.

Moreover, there are mountains and waters, boats and bridges, trees and people, history and stories, quiet yet full of vitality.

But now it seemed too quiet.

I found a clean and elegant inn for a little renovation.

The two chose the small courtyard of the Tianzi brand. In the courtyard, a red plum tree that covered most of the courtyard was in full bloom.In addition to last night's light snow, white snow and red plums, it can be regarded as extremely elegant and gorgeous.

Shen Chunyu stood under the red plum tree in white clothes, her eyes were slightly closed, and she was carelessly twisting a red plum in her hand, as if she was thinking about something.

Gu Heqing watched him for a while outside the corridor on the second floor, and waved to him, "What are you thinking?"

Shen Chunyu tossed the red plum in her hand to him, "Do you feel that it's too quiet?"

"I don't want to give it a better look." Gu Heqing stretched out his hand to take the red plum precisely, "It's quieter."

"Gu Shaozong wants to look good, how many branches can I fold for you to choose?" Shen Chunyu teased him with a smile, as if she was about to jump on the branches and destroy the flowers with her hands.

Gu Heqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Don't worry about it, just this one is fine."

Shen Chunyu flew up to the second floor and stood side by side with him, talking about business, "When I was in the lobby of the inn, I felt that something was wrong with the shopkeeper."

"It's not right, it's got a bit of a ghost." Gu Heqing said while reaching out to wipe a petal of red plum on his head, "You didn't even notice that there were flowers on your head?"

"You mean, a ghost cultivator has appeared here?" Shen Chunyu moved closer, leaned her head, and obediently let Gu Heqing brush off the remaining petals.

After brushing off the petals on his head, Gu Heqing helped him cut his hair again, with a calm expression, "Probably they came after me."

Before, it was a half-awakened bloodline acting as a demon, and the sword intent hadn't broken through to the next level of sword domain, so he had to avoid those two ghost cultivators.Now there is nothing to fear.

In order to be more comfortable, Shen Chunyu simply put her head on his shoulder, "What kind of enmity do you have with Huangquan? How come you came to Zhongzhou from Huangquan in the north?"

Cultivators whose primordial spirit is still alive but whose physical body is completely destroyed are "ghost cultivators". The offspring of "Ghost Xiu" and "Ghost Xiu" are also "Ghost Xiu".The difference between this kind of monks and ordinary people is the physical body.

Although this kind of monk can recondense the physical body after expending energy, this physical body is not the original physical body after all, it is relatively fragile, easy to be injured, and it is not as compatible with the original soul as the original physical body.

Only those with great perseverance and great opportunity can transform from ghost cultivator to human cultivator.The former relies on thousands of years of tempering the body, and few people can endure the pain and hardships; the latter relies on the treasures that re-condense the body, and no one can survive hundreds of thousands of years.

This kind of monks major in primordial spirit, even puppet art, and a few of them also practice the insidious soul devouring art.

Because this kind of monks are usually afraid of heat and prefer cold, they prefer to live in the cold northern region. Over time, many ghost cultivators gathered in the northern region, and the place where ghost cultivators live is the ghost domain.It is also known as the ghost domain by outsiders.In fact, Huangquan only occupies half of the northern territory.

However, since this type of monks were almost all powerful monks before their bodies were destroyed, the number of monks was not particularly large, and the territory was not particularly large, but the ghost domain was the well-deserved overlord in the northern border.

"I shouldn't have any complaints, right? I was training in the city of Broken Snow in the north, but for some reason, I was inexplicably targeted by these two ghost cultivators." Gu Heqing himself didn't know when he had an enmity with Huang Quan. .

The group of psychopaths in Huangquan are notoriously difficult to provoke, and they are so crazy that they don't care about their lives.

Gu Heqing turned to talk to Shen Chunyu about the chaos in Huangquan.

"It is said that the disturbance in Huangquan this time is a civil strife. The son of the former ghost emperor confronted the current ghost emperor. Because of the chaos in Huangquan, some ghost cultivators left Huangquan and went to Zhongzhou..."

Speaking of this, Gu Heqing suddenly grabbed Shen Chunyu's wrist, felt for his pulse, and said seriously, "You just broke through, and your breath is not stable yet."

Shen Chunyu's body froze.The head resting on Gu Heqing's shoulder was closer to his neck, and he carefully held his sleeve with his hands, and said in a soft voice, "I'll go back to meditate right now?"

His voice was soft and his actions were warm.

Warm breath came from the side of the neck, tickling, like a feather brushing gently.

Gu Heqing sighed softly, "Go back and adjust your breathing."

Shen Chunyu obediently went back to the room to adjust her breath, walked a few steps and looked back suddenly, "You must wait for me to come out before looking for that ghost."

"Understood," Gu Heqing's lips curved slightly, "I'll be waiting for you, go in quickly."

After half a day, Shen Chunyu finished meditating and adjusting her breath.When I opened my eyes, it was already pitch black.

Pushing open the door, I saw Gu Heqing waiting outside with a tall body and a sword in his arms.A red gauze lantern hung not far from his head, reflecting the warmth of his eyebrows and eyes.

Hearing the movement, Gu Heqing stared at it.

The four eyes met, looked at each other and smiled.

Shen Chunyu was a little surprised, "I didn't know you had the habit of holding a sword."

"Well, if you don't tell me, I don't know that I have this habit." Gu Heqing withdrew Xuanying, and then talked about other things, "I was still thinking, if you don't come out, I will go there alone to meet you." The two ghosts have repaired."

Shen Chunyu: "..."

Gu Heqing smiled and said, "Fortunately, you're out now."

Shen Chunyu was eager to try, "Leave now?"

Gu Heqing nodded happily, "Very good. Catch ghosts in the middle of the night, it's a good time."
