Mu Qingwan looked over and saw that the entire mountain road was green and densely packed. The wolf's roar, hissing, and the sound of claws clawing at the big tree made her feel like the sound in a horror movie.

I was sweating coldly, and even my legs standing on the treetops began to feel weak.

Xia Houlie sat firmly on the big tree, then pulled her over and hugged her tightly, pressing her head into his arms with his big hands, and softly comforted her in her ears with a gentle voice:

"Be good, don't look down."

His voice had a calming aura, and Mu Qingwan muttered a muffled "Oh" in his arms, wrapped her arms around his waist, and stuffed herself into his arms like an ostrich.

"Leng Ji, how is the situation down there?" Xia Houlie asked.

Leng Ji frowned and said: "It's very pessimistic. The number of wolves is still increasing. It is estimated that there are thousands of them. They are all surrounding us now. But fortunately, the big tree we are in is very strong and should not be overwhelmed by them.

Shaking, it’s just that...looking at their hungry faces, I’m afraid they won’t let go of the prey that’s about to arrive so easily..."

Xia Houlie nodded, thought for a while, and asked:

"See if you can fly from this tree to a safe place in one breath with your Qinggong if you rest enough?"

Leng Ji looked at the surrounding mountains and said, "It should be okay."

"Then let's rest in this tree tonight first. When we have enough rest, if the wolves haven't dispersed by tomorrow morning, we will fly out from here and find another way to reach the top of the peak."

Fortunately, the branches of this big tree are extremely dense and intertwined, forming a huge recess in the middle that looks like a bird's nest, like a big natural bed. People don't have to worry about falling down even if they lie on their backs.

The wolves kept roaring.

Night has completely fallen, and the entire deep mountain is silent. Only the occasional neighing of the wolves is left. It is shrill, manic, and angry, echoing in the silent valley for a long time, which sounds particularly heart-wrenching.

He was frightened, and his pair of frighteningly bright green eyes stared unblinkingly at the delicious meal on the tree.

The three of them were exhausted after traveling for a long time and being harassed by the wolves, so even the hard steamed buns for dinner were extremely sweet.

After eating, Xia Houlie hugged Mu Qingwan and lay down on a relatively thick tree trunk. He looked at the wolves below coldly, whistled playfully, and chuckled when he heard a commotion immediately below.

After making a sound, he also found a tree trunk and lay down.

Although the trunk of this tree is thick, the leaves have basically fallen off, so lying on your back like this you can completely see the entire blue sky, and the stars in the sky are shining like gems scattered in the Milky Way.

Mu Qingwan had never had such an experience of lying down and watching the stars peacefully before, and she was a little excited. But when she thought of such beautiful scenery but could not see Lie next to her, her heart ached and she hugged him tightly subconsciously, "Lie, we are very happy."

You will be able to see Master soon. Master's medical skills are world-famous, and coupled with the precious herbs on Piaomiao Peak, he will definitely be able to cure you."

Xia Houlie stabilized the top of her hair and said softly: "Yes."

The calm aura on his body made her heart slowly calm down, and her tone became brisk, "Piaomiao Peak is a very beautiful place. Since we are here this time, I will take you to visit as soon as you recover from your illness.

This place where I grew up has not only many strange flowers and trees, but also animals that you have never seen before, especially the countless rare medicinal herbs in the mountains, which is why it has attracted the covetousness of so many people."

Xia Houlie stroked her hair with his hand and sighed softly:

"Fate is really funny. Originally, my fate with you was deeper and earlier. Unfortunately, it was not me who spent eight years with you. Even the only time we met when we were young made me recognize you as someone else.

That led to so many misunderstandings later..."

There was melancholy in his tone, and Mu Qingwan was confused for a while:

"Did we meet when we were young? Why don't I remember this?"

"At that time, I had just arrived at the Imperial Palace of Western Chu to serve as your crown prince's brother's companion. Because I was young and vigorous, in order to impress everyone, I studied hard. Once I wrote a poem and gave it to the Grand Tutor, and it was indeed highly praised.

And your brother was scolded by the Taifu for his playfulness. He was not convinced and took advantage of the class to summon several other princes who were accompanying him to study and deliberately lured me away.

In an abandoned palace, they pushed me to the ground and kicked me hard. I couldn't beat them, and I was about to be beaten to death, but you showed up. I still remember that you were wearing a white dress that day, and you were as beautiful as a little girl.

Fairy, later you repelled them and gave me a white jade rabbit, telling me that it was called the 'Jieyu Rabbit'. As long as I tell it my thoughts in the future, I will not be sad anymore..."

Mu Qingwan searched her memory for a long time before suddenly remembering this matter, and couldn't help but said:

"That little boy is actually you?"

Xia Houlie nodded and frowned: "Why did you say you were Mo Qingge then?"

At this moment, Mu Qingwan had completely remembered that incident, "Because when I was young, my father was afraid that I would be lonely in the palace, so he summoned Mo Qingge and several other ministers' daughters to accompany me in the palace. Our favorite game at that time was role-playing.

Swapping is a game where you become me and I become you.

, that time Mo Qingge and I happened to be drawn into each other. According to the rules of the game, I have to be Mo Qingge for the whole day, and she has to be me for the whole day. No matter who I meet, I am not allowed to reveal my true identity.

Name, if someone is found guilty of a foul, he will be punished..."

She paused, suddenly thought of something, and said in disbelief:

"Is it because of this incident that you mistakenly thought I was Mo Qingge and then took her seriously?"

Xia Houlie's face also turned green. He couldn't accept that all the mistakes, misunderstandings and conflicts between the two of them were all because of a game they played when they were young. He couldn't help but bite her hard on the mouth angrily, "

Why are you doing that role-swapping thing when you have nothing to do? You actually made me think that I loved someone else. What's even more disgusting is that I misunderstood you for so long and still treated you like that..."

Xia Houlie became more and more angry as he talked, his chest heaving up and down. Mu Qingwan was also extremely surprised. She never expected that such a small thing would make him worry about it for so long, and even be so deeply in love with him. In addition to lamenting that fate is really a cheating

Other than that, I really don’t know what to say.

Mu Qingwan thought of the poison on his body and hurriedly calmed him down, saying in a tired voice:

"Okay, okay, isn't everything in the past in the past? You have to think about it this way. If there wasn't this misunderstanding, how could you have thought of marrying me later? Right? Maybe without this misunderstanding, I would have been with He all my life.

Lian Hengzhi is together, so fate is still more biased towards you..."

Xia Houlie thought about it and found that it was indeed the case, but when he thought that she and Helian Hengzhi had stayed here together for eight full years, he couldn't help but feel a little jealous, and he couldn't help but ask:

"Why did you come to Piaomiao Peak to learn something at such a young age?"

He was thinking that if she hadn't come here to learn skills, she might not have met Helian Hengzhi, and she would have stayed in the Xichu Palace all year round. Then how could he not have a chance in the Xichu Palace for six years as a hostage?

Met her?

"Uh..." Can she say that she came here because she traveled through time and wanted to learn some skills so that she could go out into the world and find out the whereabouts of the mysterious mirror that took her through time?

"Why don't you speak?" Xia Houlie pinched her nose.

Leng Ji also looked over with a puzzled look on his face. Mu Qingwan looked at him and then at Xia Houlie, and could only laugh and said:

"Haha... I just heard that Wu Yazi is very powerful, so I thought that since I am idle, I might as well come here to learn some medical skills and martial arts... I just wanted to kill time at the time, who knew so many things would happen later...

…”

Seeing that he still looked unhappy, she quickly put her arms around his neck and said, "Okay, okay, don't be angry. So what if Helian Hengzhi and I have been together for eight years? You and I will still be together in the future.

You have a lifetime, are you going to be so stingy? A cheapskate! A jealous man!"

As she spoke, she smiled and went to pinch his face, but Xia Houlie took her hand and bit her:

"I'm just stingy and jealous! If I had known that I would fall in love with you, a little girl, I wish I could have been by your side since you were born, watching you closely and not allowing any other man to get close to you!"

Although he said these words through gritted teeth, they made Mu Qingwan feel so heartwarming and sweet. Tears burst out of her eyes. She gave him a light thump, and joked while crying and laughing:

"Hey, Xia Houlie, are you ashamed? Leng Ji is still here."

Xia Houlie turned to look at Leng Ji and asked seriously:

"Did you hear what I just said?"

Although Leng Ji was already laughing in his heart, he had to hold back his laughter and replied solemnly:

"Replying to the master, my subordinates didn't hear anything just now."

Xia Houlie turned his head and looked at Mu Qingwan in front of him. Although he didn't speak, you could already see the proud smile on the corner of his mouth.

Mu Qingwan simply couldn't laugh or cry, "You are really thick-skinned. Leng Ji, if you continue to spoil him like this in the future, be careful that I break up with you."

"Don't..." Leng Ji looked aggrieved, "Master Wan, you have also seen that if I hadn't said that just now, the master would have kicked me off this tree and fed me to the wolves, so for the sake of life safety, I occasionally

It is wise to keep your ears and eyes closed."

Xia Houlie smiled and hit him on the shoulder, scolding: "You are really getting more and more glib."

The three of them chatted for a while, and soon Mu Qingwan started to yawn. Xia Houlie reached out and hugged her tightly: "It's getting late, go to sleep. I'll hold you, so you don't have to worry about falling."

Smelling the faint ambergris on his body, Mu Qingwan closed her eyes. After driving all day, she was frightened just now. Now she relaxed. As soon as she closed her eyes, she felt how tired her body was. She fell asleep soon.
