Volume 4: The Game of the Gods Chapter 41 The Secret of Yonghui City
Last night, after Ping Lili tried her best to repair the broken barrier, she fell into a coma due to overdrawn spiritual power. When she woke up, she met those emerald green eyes again.
But it was different from what she had imagined before. This time Long Yu did not get angry, and he did not even plan to throw her out of Yonghui City. He sat there expressionless, with his ten fingers slightly clasped together, looking at her quietly, his eyes as sharp as torches, as if he wanted to look straight into the depths of her soul.
Yinglili didn't know what to say. Her lips opened and closed, but in the end no words came out.
At this moment, perhaps too many words are not needed, as if anything would be redundant. She raised her head stubbornly and looked back at him with her golden brown eyes, with the same sharp gaze!
She believed that he could understand her determination, her determination to fight with him to the end.
She has the same pride as him. Even though five hundred years have passed and a lot has changed, this pride remains unchanged. She will always stand shoulder to shoulder with him, not as a protected person, but as a close friend fighting side by side!
A true friend is the only person in the world who can be trusted. This is a person for whom one is willing to betray heaven and earth.
A close friend is just that, neither far nor near, seemingly only one step away, but always staying in this ambiguous position.
The two of them just stared at each other in silence and stubbornly. After a long, long time, Long Yu finally sighed leisurely: "Forget it, whatever you want."
The man finally closed his emerald eyes helplessly. He understood her persistence, her dedication, and her pride. In fact, he understood everything.
When the feelings between two people go beyond intimacy and cross the realm of sharing life and death, it will sublimate into a spiritual dependence. Between him and her, there is no need for more words, the paleness and powerlessness of language can no longer express the irreconcilable love between them.
Just an eye contact is enough to understand each other.
With just one sigh, he understood everything.
Those times of sharing life and death, those times of never leaving each other, are all deeply written into our lives and can never be thrown away.
A hint of surprise flashed in Yinglili's eyes. She knew that Long Yu had compromised with her. Did this count as an agreement to let her stay and fight side by side with him? At that moment, Yinglili's heart suddenly felt ecstatic for no reason. She knew that Long Yu had recognized her ability. For Yinglili, this was definitely something worth being happy about!
Just as Ping Lili was about to open her mouth to ask Long Yu for a good job, her body suddenly froze, because she felt Long Yu's body gradually approaching and the slightly warm breath brushing against her face. At this moment, she and Long Yu were so close that she could almost see herself in his emerald green eyes. Ping Lili panicked and subconsciously tried to move back, but was caught off guard and hugged by Long Yu.
"Don't move!" His voice was sincere but contained a hint of unquestionable force.
Pinglili stared blankly for a moment, but she finally did not refuse. She seemed to understand the meaning of this hug in an instant. It had nothing to do with love, but was just a way of expressing her feelings. She timidly stretched out her hand and gently hugged him back.
"No matter what, keep living!" the young friend whispered in her ear, every word powerful and sonorous.
Ping Lili slowly closed her eyes. Yes, she had to live no matter what!
Wei Xingying's sudden cough interrupted the hug between the two. Ping Lili struggled slightly and quickly broke away from Long Yu's arms. She raised her eyes and saw the playful smile on Wei Xingying's face. Ping Lili was not happy with it. She put her hands on her hips and glared back at him fiercely. What are you looking at? Have you never seen a friendly hug?
And Qingluan also came in with Wei Xingying.
When he saw Qingluan, Ping Lili's body was slightly startled, and subconsciously, a hint of alertness flashed in his eyes.
She then remembered that the Qiongqi that she had sent out to follow Qingluan seemed to have not returned yet. As if seeing through Yinglili's thoughts, Qingluan slowly walked over and whispered in Yinglili's ear: "If you want to ask Qiongqi, he has already gone back to his room to rest."
Gong Lili was suddenly embarrassed and didn't know how to respond. If she continued to ask, it would be equivalent to admitting that she had sent Qiongqi to follow someone. If she didn't admit it, she would be curious about what Qiongqi had done to Qingluan.
After a struggle in his heart, he had to hide his guilty conscience with a silly smile.
Qingluan, on the other hand, didn't seem to care. She walked past Yinglili and went straight to Long Yu, slowly bowing: " Qingluan, the maid of Penglai Fairyland, greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
When Yinglili heard this, her eyes widened. What did she just say? A maid? What was that? How did she know that Long Yu was the prince of the Ruoye tribe? Could it be...
The more Ying Lili thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. Just as she was about to say something, Wei Xingying grabbed her wrist first. Ying Lili understood and kept silent.
Long Yu took a closer look at the bronze mask on Qingluan's face, raised his eyebrows, and a hint of surprise flashed in his emerald eyes: "Are you from Penglai Fairyland?"
"That's right." Qingluan said calmly, with a tone neither humble nor arrogant.
"Your Penglai Fairyland has never been involved in the affairs of the Xuming Continent. What are you doing here?" Long Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and stood with his hands behind his back. The expression on his face made it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
"At this time, at that time, my master observed the celestial phenomena at night and accidentally learned that an ancient treasure that had been buried in Yonghui City for a thousand years would appear in the near future."
"oh?"
"ah?!"
Gong Lili and Wei Xingying on the side exclaimed at the same time, and even Long Yu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He had been in Yonghui City for five hundred years, but he didn't know that there was such a thing hidden here. His eyes suddenly lit up, and he actually understood the real purpose of the Kongming Clan's painstaking efforts to attack Yonghui City!
Could it be that they already knew about this? They actually came here for the mysterious treasure! At this moment, it suddenly became clear in my mind.
"Tell me your real purpose." Long Yu changed the subject and went straight to the point.
"Don't get me wrong, Your Highness. We in Penglai Wonderland have always been independent of the world and are not interested in that thing. Moreover, it is useless for us to have it. However, that treasure has the ability to open the gates to the three realms, including the gate to Penglai Wonderland. Therefore, my master sent me here just to prevent that thing from falling into the hands of someone with ulterior motives."
"Then tell me, what do you mean? Aren't you afraid that I am also someone with ulterior motives?" Long Yu snorted coldly, with a slightly sarcastic expression on his face.
"Since the treasure has been buried under Yonghui City for a thousand years and is unknown to anyone, it must have been waiting for the right person. And it is about to surface because it has already found the right person." When Qingluan said this, the face with the bronze mask tilted slightly, and the slender fingertips slowly pointed towards Pinglili.
"Me?" Ping Lili looked at Qingluan's finger pointing at her stupidly. It took her a long time to realize that the destined person she was talking about was actually her. She was shocked and raised her voice unconsciously .
"Lili?" At this moment, Long Yu and Wei Xingying were also stunned. They had never expected that the ancient treasure was actually related to Ping Lili.
"That day when Miss Ping came to the Void World, the treasure had quietly awakened. My master concluded that the destined person must be Miss Ping without a doubt."
