A warm and soft breath brushed past Yueli's ear, looking into the other party's deep and bottomless eyes. In that instant, her heartbeat sped up instantly, and her face was immediately dyed red.
"You…"
"What about me?"
The woman in his arms was soft and delicate, emitting a faint fragrance. There was a hint of anger, helplessness, and surprise in her big black and white eyes. Gu Qingcang looked at her and suddenly had the illusion that he would rather immerse himself in her eyes.
"Let go of me first." Yueli pushed Gu Qingcang away forcefully." Men and women are not clear about what they should do. Don't you know?”
"We have an engagement, so it's not considered breaking the rules.”Gu Qingcang sensed that he had suddenly awakened a rogue ability. He was willing to see Yueli being pestered by him until she was helpless. It was extremely interesting.
She had been lonely in her previous life. It was not that she did not yearn for love, but her career had destined her to be unable to live an ordinary life. A person who couldn't have a weakness had no right to love someone and build a family.
Now, suddenly, there was such a person who treated her well. She hesitated.
Gu Qingcang had been staring intently at Yueli's expression the entire time. When he saw her hesitating, his heart instantly lit up with joy. Even his eyes were covered with a thick layer of joy.
He knew that her life had not been easy these past few years and she would not trust anyone easily. But she did not have the ability to hide her Fengxi from him, right?
Therefore, she actually trusted him in her heart, but she was just unwilling to admit it.
This little girl who made one's heart ache.
Gu Qingcang pulled her into his arms again and rubbed the top of her head. He whispered,""I will protect you for the rest of your life and make you rich and happy.”
Yueli only felt that she was about to be out of breath. The tip of her nose was surrounded by his aura, overbearing as it stained her body for a long time.
For a lifetime.
Wealth was unparalleled.
Happy and carefree.
So, was this a promise to her?
She raised her head and looked at Gu Qingcang. Their eyes met, and sparks flew everywhere as they intertwined.
Yueli suddenly smiled, her eyes carrying incomparable slyness." Alright, then I'll wait and see. Let's see if the honorable and faithful King can fulfill his promise.”
"So, you're agreeing not to break off the engagement?”Gu Qingcang was delighted.
Yue Li looked at Gu Qingcang with a rather complicated expression and said,""Actually, you know that I can't cancel this marriage myself, so it doesn't matter if I agree or not.”
"That's different. I want you to marry me willingly.”
Could it be that there was really such a thing as love at first sight in this world, so he was lucky enough to catch one?
And he was the most handsome man in the entire region?
This luck was a little heaven-defying.
"What are you laughing at?" Gu Qingcang frowned as he looked at Yueli who was laughing nonstop.
"I'm happy about my luck.”
Gu Qingcang blinked." Good luck?”
He had never seen such a thick-skinned person who thought that he was lucky.
"Yes, great luck. The number one handsome man in a large region and a war god with outstanding military achievements. Wasn't that good luck?”Yueli stared at Gu Qingcang with a smile.
"How dare you!" Gu Qingcang said helplessly. This was the first time someone had said something like that in front of him.
If it was anyone else, they would have been sent flying by his slap, but this one in front of him…
Yueli smiled sweetly, resplendent and radiant. Gu Qingcang only felt an extra headache. Meeting her was probably his doom.
The number of people who applied for the assessment this time was quite large, reaching tens of thousands of people. Thus, the imperial family ordered everyone to gather at Myriad Watchtower Mountain according to the time.
Yue Li was accompanied by Gu Qingcang and Lou Shanglou as they set off together. Before she left, she even took a turn at Old Chen's herb garden and asked if he had any herbs that he wanted. She dug them up while she was at it.
Old Chen happily made a list. He was really not polite. There were more than ten kinds of medicinal herbs on it. However, he also said that if he encountered it, he would bring it back and not force it. He even brought quite a number of pills that he refined for Yueli. There were many types, and most of them could be used by Myriad Watchtower Mountain.
Yueli had a portable space, so it was very convenient to bring these things along. But in order to not let the people around her become suspicious, she still brought a small bundle with her.
When they arrived at the gathering place outside the Wanque Mountain Range, Yueli realized that not only had she signed up for the Shen family, even Shen Yunjin and Shen Pengyi had also signed up, and they were currently surrounding Dong Ruichu.
When the two of them noticed Yueli, their eyes were filled with hostility. Especially when they noticed Gu Qingcang who was standing beside Yueli, their expressions turned even worse.
Gu Qingcang's arrival caused everyone to exclaim. After all, he was so famous that everyone knew him.
Yueli rolled her eyes in her heart. Looking at Dong Ruichu bringing a large group of people over, she felt very uncomfortable in her heart. She had a feeling that her things were being coveted.
At the thought of this, she was stunned. She was actually unhappy because another woman coveted Gu Qingcang?
"Ninth Senior Brother, you're here too." Dong Ruichu finally realized that Gu Qingcang treated Shen Yueli differently. If he wanted to kill her, he could not show his impatience on the surface. Hence, he suppressed the killing intent in his heart and leaned over with a smile on his face.
Gu Qingcang frowned, but he still responded. He lowered his head to look at Yueli, who had a stern expression on her face. His heart softened, but he said,""I'm here to play with her."
Play?
Everyone was dumbfounded, looking at Yueli with extremely complicated expressions. Wanque Mountain was such a dangerous place, with King Zhongxin protecting it, it was naturally as easy as walking on flat ground.
The gazes that landed on Yueli were filled with envy, jealousy, hatred, and even more helplessness. Who asked her to have such good luck? Not only did she meet the Emperor's betrothal, she actually really caught Prince Zhongxin's eye.
Dong Ruichu's body swayed, and he forced a smile. He looked a little delicate and pitiful, and his eyes were filled with anticipation as he stared at Gu Qingcang." Since we've met, why don't we go together? That way, we can look out for each other. What do you think, Ninth Senior Brother?"”
"Yes, Your Highness. There are 20 of us in this team. It's always safer to enter the mountain together.”Shen Pengyi smiled. Because of the marriage, it was quite an honor to speak in front of Gu Qingcang. It would be even better if the candidate for this marriage alliance was Yun Jin.
Lou Shanglou raised his eyebrows and snorted. Sister-in-law was such a character. She would not agree. He would despise these people for being a hindrance.
Gu Qingcang swept a glance at everyone and ignored their expectant gazes. He only lowered his head and stared at Yueli. His cold eyes earlier revealed a hint of gentleness." What do you think?”
Hearing this, everyone was stunned. No one had expected that Gu Qingcang would actually seek Shen Yueli's opinion. Why was he asking her? His Highness could make the decision himself.
Furthermore, it would be even better if Shen Yueli left in anger.
For a moment, everyone's gazes landed on Yueli, hoping that she would leave in a fit of pique.#
