In the snowy winter, there are towering mountains and thousands of stairs.
A poor man keeps climbing up.
Qingge saw a clean man slowly walking towards her in the vast whiteness.
At some point, Qingge lay on the chair and fell asleep.
In the darkness, familiar and unfamiliar pictures appeared one after another like a revolving lantern.
Moon Ring, Pear Blossom Cake...
It was already evening when Qing Ge suddenly woke up.
Holding Mo Xie's letter in her hand, she sat up suddenly and looked around blankly.
Feeling the suffocating pain in her heart, Qingge raised her hand and put it on her left chest, looking up to the sky.
The sun sets in the western sky and the white clouds turn red.
What is aventurine? She wanted to ask Mo Xie.
When she rushed to the tavern, the tavern was really closed.
She sat in front of the tavern, leaning against the locked door.
The whole night passed like this with the gentle wind coming and going.
On the first day of the white lunar month, the Qinglian clan.
The magnificent palace, the snow-white cat lazily leaning on the man's lap, a pair of jewel-like blue eyes, like the boundless deep sea, elegant and noble.
Aventurine hugged the cat and stroked the supple cat with his slender white fingers. The white cat purred with enjoyment.
"King." The old man came over and nodded.
Aventurine looked ahead with indifferent eyes.
Aventurine seemed to have not heard the old man's voice, and was in a state of emptiness, locked in its own world.
The woman in black appeared behind the old man.
The old man sighed and burst into tears, "Wang, what's wrong with you?"
Aventurine finally reacted and raised his eyelids, but he was still very dull.
He was expressionless, unsmiling, and had an air of indifference that kept people away from him.
The old man shook his head and walked out with the woman in black.
"The king doesn't want those women?" the woman in black asked.
The old man let out a long breath and said, "The blooming of the Purple Moon Flower has consumed too much of the king's mental energy. It is difficult for him to concentrate. There may be something wrong with his brain..."
"When we have the next Purple Moon Flower container, we will get the Purple Moon Flower back and the king will regain his mental strength." The woman in black said.
"How's it going at Ye Qingge's place?" the old man asked.
"The snake king is already in Ye Qingge's realm of nothingness. You don't have to worry about this. Ye Qingge is under our control." The woman in black said: "But you must remember that the king must not know about this matter.
Otherwise, you and I will completely lose his trust."
The old man took a deep breath and said, "The love between men and women in the world is the most entangled."
A maid on the side walked into the palace carrying medicinal soup, and then heard the porcelain bowl breaking and the maid screaming.
The woman in black and the old man looked at each other and walked into the palace one after another.
"What's going on?" The woman in black raised her eyebrows and asked coldly.
"The king...the king is missing." The maid's eyes widened in horror, and the medicinal soup spilled on the floor.
"How could this happen...where has the king gone?" The woman in black frowned.
The old man was quite depressed, "The Qinglian clan is too depressed. He must have escaped, but his spirit has not recovered yet, and he may fall into the hands of others. Let out the news, go around to inquire about the whereabouts of the king, and dig three feet into the ground to find him."
He finds it out, otherwise big trouble will happen."
The woman in black nodded and left immediately.
The old man looked around with his gray eyes, and then he realized that not only the aventurine, but also the white cat named Qing Ge was missing.
The old man lowered his eyes. Did he do something wrong? Did he push too hard?
But as Aventurine King, this is Aventurine's responsibility.
Kyushu Empire, the tavern at the end of Capital Alley.
Qingge fell asleep leaning against the door of the tavern, and the breeze brought coolness.
The roots of Qingge's ears moved slightly.
Light song——
Light song——
She heard someone calling her in a low voice.
It was a gentle voice, and it was extremely familiar.
Her heart skipped a beat, then sank crazily.
Qingge quickly opened her eyes and looked forward. The morning light was faint and the sky was slightly brighter.
In the alley, a man in a white robe squatted down and looked around, shouting "Qing Ge" repeatedly.
Finally, a white cat jumped into his arms.
The man lowered his eyes, the most gentle thing about his lowered head was the smile on his brows and eyes.
Looking carefully, his eyes are a bit hollow and confused.
Qingge's body froze, and she stared blankly.
The heart beats faster and faster.
It was obviously an unfamiliar face, but why, her whole body tensed up.
Tears kept flowing out.
These days, one after another, she seemed to want to shed all her tears.
When Aventurine turned around, he saw the woman with tears streaming down her face.
She was sitting in front of the tavern, her silver hair disheveled and a bit messy.
Her eyes were full of various emotions.
When he saw her, Aventurine felt very friendly and could not help but move his legs towards her.
Like a desperate prisoner looking for salvation, the only oasis in the desert.
"Girl...you are beautiful."
Aventurine said, "You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen."
The tears were like bursting a dam, falling in a steady stream, and the tears would not stop flowing.
Qingge bit her lower lip tightly, crying so hard that she could only vaguely see Aventurine smiling gently at her.
"Have we met somewhere?" Qingge asked in a trembling voice.
She had a strong feeling that they had met before.
I must have seen it.
The white cat suddenly jumped into Qingge's arms, rolling around with its warm fur, and its little head rubbed against Qingge's chest.
"Qingge likes you very much." Aventurine smiled slightly.
The white cat climbed onto Qingge's shoulder and licked away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Qing Ge remained motionless and kept looking at him.
"Qingge, come back." Aventurine stretched out his hands. The white cat seemed to like Qingge very much and was reluctant to leave.
It looked at the aventurine and then shook its head.
The smile on Aventurine's face grew stronger.
Suddenly, Aventurine's expression changed drastically, "Girl, it's time for me to leave. Qing Ge, come quickly."
The white cat reluctantly jumped back into the aventurine's arms, and the aventurine hurried away with Qingge in his arms.
Qing Ge stood up and wanted to chase her, but her legs were so numb that she almost fell down.
She looked over again and saw that the man and the cat were no longer there.
I sing my heart softly and gradually fall into the abyss.
My eyes slowly dimmed as I sang softly.
In the realm of nothingness, the Snake King was still in a state of shock.
The Snake King murmured, "King Qinglian... it's my king, it's him, it's definitely him!"
Qing Ge's thoughts were floating, but he didn't hear the Snake King talking to himself.
Not long after, the woman in black appeared in front of Qing Ge.
She was like Shura in the dark night, walking slowly towards Qing Ge.
Qing Ge became alert, like a dormant beast.
The sword in the woman's hand pointed at Qingge, who placed her right hand on the Mingwang sword, ready to fight.
The woman in black turned her sword in a different direction and picked up a few white hairs on Qingge's shoulders.
The woman in black rubbed her white hair with her fingertips, thoughtfully.
