() Large swaths of snowflakes are flying in the mountains and forests, making the forest trees with withered leaves covered with a layer of crystal silver leaves.
"Is Crystal Snow Mountain more beautiful than here?"
Wu Jian was walking in the wind and snow wearing thick clothes. She looked at the snow-capped mountains and forests and asked suddenly.
There is a huge winding mountain range in the north of Qilin Continent. The peaks are covered with snow all year round, making it difficult for humans to live. But there lives a humanoid race called the "Crystal Snow Tribe". Their skin is as clear as crystal. They build buildings in the snow mountains.
City - formerly an ally of the Emerald Empire.
"I've never been there, why do you ask this?" Xia Han's face was expressionless. He pulled Wu Jian and walked forward quickly. There was no third person around him.
"Because Your Highness has mentioned that place before." Wu Jian smiled and asked, "Maybe I'm overthinking it, but why did Your Highness take me away?"
"Because there is an idiot who is not normal today." Xia Han spoke coldly and looked angry. He noticed that something was wrong with Xiao Sheng's eyes in the morning, so he immediately ran away with Wu Jian.
"It's just not normal for Your Highness to ask another person to stop him... and then take me away?" Wu Jian stopped, his smile narrowed: "Your Highness... I didn't know you were so smart until today..."
————
"Gu, why did you stop me..."
At the foot of the mountain, a knight and a thief, known as idiots, were fighting each other on the snow. After several rounds of fighting, the knight's body was covered in bloodstains, but the thief's clothes were not even broken.
"My purpose does not conflict with your duties!" Xiao Sheng asked the thief.
Everyone knows that the guardian whose mission is to protect the Xia family does not do unnecessary things, so he has no reason to interfere with Xiao Sheng's actions towards a maid.
"Your purpose does not conflict with my duties, but... I just used your plan as a test." The thief playfully twirled the dagger on his fingertips, his eyes flashing with an unknown light: "Fortunately, I didn't make a move last night.
This gives me such a good opportunity to review His Highness today."
Xiao Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then his face became livid: "You want to attack the little princess! But aren't you the guardian of the Xia family?"
"Who said that... I am not the guardian of the Xia clan, I am the guardian of the Xia clan's royal power..."
The thief raised his eyebrows. Almost all the nobles regarded the Gu family as the guardian who would not harm the Xia family. Even the cunning Lord of Jade City did not see through the truth. The fundamental purpose of the guardian was not to protect the Xia family, but to protect the Xia family.
The Xia family's royal power can be eliminated by anyone who is determined to hinder the continuation of the royal power, including members of the Xia family's own clan.
Xia Han is a prince with a sensitive identity. If he falls into Wujing's hands, he will pose a huge threat to the Xia family's royal power. The purpose of the king sending the thief here is to let him eradicate Xia Han. However, all actions must rely on the thief's own judgment of Xia Han.
The king firmly believed that Xia Han was of no value to the empire even if he was a man, but Princess Xia Yun believed that even if Xia Han fell into Wujing's hands, his abilities would still be recognized by thieves.
The process of this three-party game made the thief very interesting, but the results of his eight-month observation were in favor of the king. Although Xia Han is smart and malleable, he has a huge flaw - lying to the world.
Gender is not important, but Xia Han disguised himself as a woman and deceived the world. Such a person who is difficult to convince the public has no chance of regaining the power of the king unless a miracle happens. And the Xia family cannot have a puppet emperor.
So the thieves decided that the future of this country should be left in the hands of Princess Xia Yun, who has outstanding governance skills. Xia Han will only be an obstacle to her advancement to the throne. It would be a pity to kill her...
He was about to take action last night, but to his surprise, Xia Han discovered his murderous intent, which made the thief decide to reconsider - and thus today's situation emerged.
"I let several assassins go over. If Your Highness can hold on until your city lord notices, then I can continue to observe him..."
————
"But you clearly knew that the thief also had bad intentions, so why did you still take me away..." Wu Jian pursed his lips, his eyebrows looking a little sad: "I'm not worthy of you doing this..."
The cold wind blowing from the snow almost covered her voice, but she could still hear it even in the cold summer.
"Eh? Even you can see it!" He glanced at Wu Jian in surprise. The thoughts of the two guards were not too difficult to guess, but Wu Jian could see it at such a young age...
Her talent is very good.
Xia Han took Wu Jian's hand and pulled her forward, but once again he did not respond directly to Wu Jian's words. This is the case with every important question... Wu Jian was pulled forward and ran forward. She looked at the man in front of her.
The little back figure with long golden hair flying in the cold wind.
【Like the color of the sun.】
She thought so, but even so she still didn't think there was any hope of escaping.
"Don't worry, we won't be chased!" Xia Han tightened his swordless hand, then looked at the snow: "I have a magic weapon."
He stretched out a hand and let the ice blue light gather in his palm.
Frost freezes, frost freezes... bursts of cold air burst out, and the soft snow became hard, with even a thin layer of ice attached to it.
"magic!"
Wu Jian screamed, and then immediately covered his mouth - it would be bad if there were people around. Xia Han had never shown his magic before, and Wu Jian was surprised by this attack.
"This way you won't leave any footprints."
Xia Han curled his lips. He was glad that he had secretly practiced magic during this period, but at the same time it was a pity - if today had happened another day later, he would have been able to upgrade to a second-level mage and master more spells.
The second flower has a total of twenty-four petals. After more than half a year of performing, the last petal has opened, but for some reason there is no upgrade prompt.
This seems to have reached a critical point, only one or two people are short of approval.
【The right time to choose!】
Now Xia Han had no time to complain. He had to bring Wu Jian to speed up. Relying on magic and the cover of the woods, they were lucky enough not to be found by the assassins. However, Xia Han cast spells to pave the way and was covered in pain for a few hours.
, had to rest against a tree.
The sequelae of unlimited mana made him feel very painful.
"Your Highness, are you okay..." Wu Jian looked at him worriedly. They didn't bring anything else, and they had nothing to bandage Xia Han.
"Well, it's okay." Xia Han didn't want Wu Jian to worry too much, but suddenly something moved in his heart: "Wu Jian, do you like me?"
"Why!!"
Wu Jian's head turned red with a pop, and she pinched her hands nervously: "Why do you ask this?"
There is no doubt about this performance.
"it's a pity..."
Xia Han shook his head regretfully. He originally expected Wu Jian to say he didn't like it, but then he made some small moves to completely unlock the second flower.
But this possibility seems to be gone.
"Sorry...no...that..."
Wu Jian was a little nervous. She misunderstood Xia Han's words and wanted to explain, but Xia Han supported her body and stood up first.
"Wu Jian, I can't cast the spell again. Be careful not to leave too heavy footprints later." He warned, but he wasn't too worried. In fact, a few hours was enough for them to distance themselves a long way. The assassin was very worried.
It's hard to find footsteps that are so far apart.
But it turned out that Xia Han was still too optimistic. He and Wu Jian walked for more than 20 minutes before they were intercepted by a swordsman on horseback.
"Princess, you escaped so far!"
The swordsman turned over and dismounted, then drew out his sword and walked towards Xia Han. He glanced around and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no guards appeared.
"I'll go with you. If you don't kill me, you'll get more reward."
Xia Han couldn't see through the level of the swordsman, so he could only pull Wu Jian behind and raise his hands. He knew that the king was a cautious man, and he would not just trust a person's head. Xia Han's entire talent was the most valuable thing.
"Okay! I like talking to smart kids."
The swordsman retracted his sword and took out the rope from his body. He leaned forward without warning. Just as he squatted down, Xia Han jumped up suddenly.
"Go to hell!"
A cold light flashed in his hand, and a sharp piece of ice stabbed into the swordsman's neck, and blood spurted out in an instant.
"Idiot, don't relax your vigilance even when facing children..."
Xia Han wiped the blood on his face, and then kicked the swordsman's body down. "Wu Jian, let's..." He turned around and was about to continue walking forward with Wu Jian, but a soft body suddenly fell down.
"Your Highness...Your Highness..."
Wu Jian, who had a dagger stuck in his chest, fell into his arms, his clothes dyed red with blood. "There is another one behind..." she said, sweat breaking out on her forehead.
Xia Han raised his head stiffly and looked at the thief who had appeared behind him.
"My dagger was blocked by a little girl... What a pity..." The thief glanced at Wu Jian, then walked to the swordsman's body and kicked him twice: "It seems that I am the only one who gets the reward.
Already."
"Die...die!!"
Xia Han held Wujian in his left hand and waved his right hand. Several blue circles of light flashed in the air, and ice arrows shot out like a swarm of bees.
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
The thief waved his dagger and blocked all the ice arrows with ease: "Didn't you just say that you should not relax your vigilance even when facing children?"
He looked at Xia Han teasingly, but his eyes suddenly widened and his face turned red: "You...you..."
What did he see? He saw two girls kissing...
Even Wu Jian, who was dizzy due to blood loss, didn't understand why this happened. She only knew that Xia Han kissed her suddenly. He occupied her lips like a hungry wolf and bit her tongue...
Like me, like me...like me quickly!!
Xia Han's eyes told his wishes and expectations...Wu Jian wanted to respond to his feelings, but...can someone he already likes like a little more like him?
She could only respond as best she could.
"Damn it! Don't think that I will let you go!"
The average thief yells and then spits out nosebleeds for no apparent reason.
In an instant, the illustrated book in Xia Han's body began to flip -
"The seal of the second flower is lifted, and the reward form is: pure-blood elf - you can transform into the elf form through the blood in your body. This reward is specially customized for your bloodline and profession. The pure-blood elf will give you all the elf forms.
