Binding the Dragon for the Empress

Early the next morning, Yan Yuan was about to leave with the bag of dragon scales.

In the ten-thousand-foot-deep pool, Xuanlong carried Yan Yuan on his back, but it took him a while to fly out of the water. Yan Yuan appeared on the bank, and the guards and old eunuch who had been squatting in the bushes for several days were both surprised and delighted. , Seeing this, rushed out.

Xuanlong saw that there was someone to meet Yan Yuan, and he didn't need to worry about it, so he turned around silently to go back into the water, Yan Yuan rushed forward and hugged him from behind, calling hoarsely in his ear.

"Apo..."

From the perspective of others, Yan Yuan hugged a ball of air with red eyes, and stopped aside looking at each other, watching this horrifying scene.

Everything that should be said has already been said to Xuanlong, Yan Yuan hugged him now, but actually didn't know what to say, he just felt reluctant.Very sad.

This trip to the palace to search for the Xuanlong, the goal has been achieved, Ning Zhiyu is temporarily saved after getting the dragon scale, he should happily go back with the dragon scale to save his sweetheart.

As for the future, let’s talk about it in the future, the big deal is to wait until the dragon scales are used up before asking Xuanlong for begging, he knows how soft the dragon’s heart is under the cold appearance.

Que Le bullied him, and although Xuan Long didn't know his face to help him out, he would silently help him behind the scenes and release him from the barrier.

After all, he still couldn't be cruel to himself.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Yan Yuan felt even more sad. He wanted to get the best of both worlds, and break free from the tedious and embarrassing situation. He hoped that Ning Zhiyu would be healthy, so that he would not need to cut out Xuanlong's flesh and blood to continue his life. In front of Xuanlong, it would not be difficult to say a word of concern.

What's the use, God won't save a dying person from life and death just because he wants to live on, nor will he feel pity for the extravagant hopes of an ordinary man.

In the past, he could have the cheek to ask Xuanlong if it hurts after pulling out his scales, but now the answer is obvious, does it really not hurt if he asks?No, it still hurts, and after the pain, he will continue to ask Xuanlong to goug out his flesh and blood to save another person, so there is no point in asking.

He is the least qualified to ask that sentence.

Now, there is a new person beside Xuanlong who is really willing to treat him well.

Even if they are not together now, if they get along for a long time, will Xuanlong still have his place in his heart?

Yan Yuan thought of the dragon's intimacy with others, and her tear glands became extremely developed. He had never shed so many tears since he was a child.I don't know why, every time something related to Xuanlong is touched, his heart is too fragile to bear the slightest pain and grievance.

"Abo...will you fall in love with that fox demon?"

Xuanlong's cold green eyes reflected the calm water, and the embrace behind him made him taste the sadness from the depths of his soul: "What's the point of saying this now."

"But I just want to know..." Yan Yuan acted like a baby crying in his ear.

Xuanlong was silent for a long time, and replied softly: "No."

Until now, this person's sadness has made his heart torn and it's hard to hold back.

"Really?" Yan Yuan said happily.

Xuanlong lowered his eyes, and parted his hands around his abdomen, his deep voice was gentle.

"Let's go."

"It's getting late."

Yan Yuan looked at the man's face wearing a dark gold mask with tears in her eyes: "Then I will come to you next time."

"Yeah." Xuanlong didn't look at him.

Yan Yuan cried like a child: "You can hug me again, okay?"

Where did Xuanlong take the initiative to hug him, and now she naturally wouldn't do it. Seeing that he was not moving, Yan Yuan stepped forward, hugged Xuanlong face to face, and kissed his forehead.

"Abo, I'm sorry for you."

"I'll see you next time."

"I'll bring you...bring you delicious and fun things from the palace."

"Okay." Xuanlong responded in a low voice.

Only then did Yan Yuan let him go, turning her head three times a step at a time: "A Bo, then I'm leaving..."

"Ah."

Xuan Long quietly stared at that incomparably handsome face, as if wanting to engrave his face into his heart.

The palace guards surrounded Yan Yuan and greeted her warmly, and escorted Yan Yuan to the low-key yet luxurious carriage on the jungle path not far away.

When Yan Yuan got on the carriage, she looked at the edge of the pool through the lush forest, the Xuanlong who was standing there just now was gone, he lowered his head in despair, and stepped on the back of the palace servant to get into the carriage.

The carriage wobbled along the path, and Chen Yan asked worried questions from outside the carriage wall.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?..."

Yan Yuan came back to her senses and said casually: "It's nothing."

"I've worried this old slave for the past two days. Fortunately, you have returned safely. It seems that Xuanlong is really psychic." Chen Yan walked quickly outside the carriage.

Yan Yuan pulled the corners of her mouth reluctantly, and said with a smile: "...he is psychic, he treats me very well, no different from the human race. You have met him face to face."

Chen Yan was surprised: "When?..."

Yan Yuan didn't reply.

After a long silence in the carriage, Yan Yuan's low and hoarse voice came out, as if talking to herself.

"Chen Yan, is it really difficult to have both?..."

"I am clearly the emperor, and I am in charge of thousands of miles of land, but why do I have such helpless times..."

Chen Yan reckoned that Yan Yuan was referring to Ning Zhiyu's matter, and thought about comforting him: "Your Majesty, it is difficult to have both in the affairs of the world."

"Life is born with more bitterness than sweetness. As an emperor, you should be better than everyone else. No matter how hard the pain is now, it is only temporary and everything will be fine."

Yan Yuan lowered her eyes, hiding the loneliness in her eyes: "Is that so..."

Chen Yan said: "Yes, you are the emperor of the real dragon, and you must be protected by the real dragon."

He was right.

Isn't Xuanlong the real dragon that guards him?

After the shadow of the carriage disappeared in the winding path, after a long time, water splashes several feet high jumped up on the surface of the pool, and the mysterious dragon hidden in the air fell into the water.

As soon as Que Le got up, she ran over to look for Xuanlong, but she didn't see it after looking around the house, and bumped into the returning Xuanlong when she went out.

"where did you go?"

Xuanlong looked uncertain, and walked slowly into the house: "Go ashore."

Que Le followed him: "Where is the dog emperor?"

"Already left."

"Really?" Que Le raised her eyebrows, her heart ecstatic. "It can be regarded as sending the plague god away."

"If you are injured, don't run around." Que Le pulled Xuan Long to sit down at the table. "What's for breakfast?"

Xuanlong: "As you wish."

Que Le clicked his tongue, wondering: "There is no such thing as randomness in the world."

Soon his eyes lit up, and he got up and walked out: "Just wait, I have a new dish, I guarantee you will like it!"

Xuan Long looked at his back in a hurry, and called him: "Qi Le."

"Huh?" Quer Le turned around.

Xuan Long looked away: "I want to leave this place."

Que Le was stunned for a moment, what a clever fox head he was, he immediately understood why: "Alright."

"If the dog emperor can't find you, he won't be able to pester you." Que Le walked in front of Xuan Long, knelt down, gently held his cold hand, and rubbed it distressedly. "Otherwise you are so soft-hearted and always let him bully you. I want to kill him, but you refuse."

"Don't worry, no matter where you go, I will accompany you."

Xuan Long's heart was moved, and he said dully: "Thank you... for treating me as a relative."

Que Le frowned: "I don't regard you as a relative."

"..." Xuanlong's throat moved slightly.

Que Le patted her head in frustration, and stood up: "No, I mean..."

"I... I, I am..."

I like you.

Xuanlong followed him with blank green eyes, apparently waiting for an answer.

It was clearly a very simple sentence, but Que Le just couldn't say it. It was the first time he really fell in love with a demon, and his heart was far more struggling than the surface. If he was rejected, he would be very sad.

No matter how strong a person is, if he likes someone, his heart will become very fragile.

It doesn't matter if he loses face, what he is most afraid of is that Xuanlong will alienate him because of it, if this is the case, then he will cry to someone.

"I'm just..." Que Le hesitated for a long time, looking at Xuanlong's slow reaction, she was ashamed and anxious, and finally the child drove her furious: "You stupid dragon, you are stupid, you...you don't want to Talked to you!"

Then he turned and ran away.

"..."

Xuanlong never felt that anyone would really like him, so even if Yan Yuan misunderstood what was between him and Que Le, he would not think that De Que Le would have feelings for him other than relatives.

From his point of view, Que Le just regarded him as his elder brother.

Seeing what the other party said, Xuanlong became more and more puzzled, and when Que Le's figure disappeared outside the door, he looked away and murmured.

"Didn't you... treat me as your elder brother?"

what is that? ...

Maybe a friend.Friends are also good.

After all, it was almost Que Le who took care of him for such a long time.He has not done his duty as a brother.

The room was silent, Yan Yuan had only been here for two days, and when she left again, she felt as if something was missing. Xuanlong felt empty in his heart, and the iris jade pendant that had changed from before appeared in his palm, and he was slightly absent-minded.

After today, we will never meet again...

It's time for this meaningless relationship to end.From then on, he didn't care about anything about that person.

I don't care anymore.

Half an hour later, Xuanlong lost his mind and felt a sharp pain in his heart, and the blood on his face suddenly faded. He removed the jade pendant in his hand, groaned and covered his heart, and a strong burning sensation appeared in the palm of his hand.

Opening the palm of my hand, I saw a flash of blue light, slowly blooming a beautiful iris...

It is exactly the same as the one in Yan Yuan's hand...

Xuanlong stared blankly at the light blue petals, not understanding why this flower suddenly appeared in his palm, he propped himself up on the table and stood up, feeling a strong and bad premonition inexplicably in his heart.

at the same time.

Thirty miles away on the official road, a group of black-clothed dead men fought with Yan Yuan's plain-clothes guards. The black-clothed dead men were menacing and powerful. After a short time, the guards who had undergone rigorous training fell down one after another. Halfway through, the blood on the ground merged into a stream, dyeing the soil dark red, and there were archers crawling in the dark, ready to go.

"Quick, escort the emperor away!"

The chief guard yelled to help Chen Yan cover Yan Yuan's retreat, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Yan Yuan got off the carriage with a gloomy expression. In the chaos, a poisoned arrow struck his heart with such force as to destroy— —
