Mu Yin didn't have the habit of staying in bed, but the first thing she saw when she opened her sleepy eyes was Mu Xuanji's smiling face.
He put out the bonfire, peels kept falling from his hands, and there were many fresh fruits beside him.
"You can sleep a little longer. I picked some wild fruits outside. Do you want to eat them?"
"Want to eat!"
The girl stood up and nodded. Mu Xuanji had seen her pick wild fruits before, and any fruits she picked were edible.
She was still in a daze. She had never been taken care of by anyone since she was born. Even though she was a noble princess, Emperor Yukun threw her here very early and no one wanted to get close to her with her weird personality.
He said that she did not follow the etiquette and laws, that she was stubborn and aggressive, that she was a reckless royal with nothing but blood.
That person never defended her, and she didn't care, as long as she used her strength to shut up those people!
The God Emperor arranged for her to go to the Kunlun Mountains to practice cultivation. At that time, she could hold a unicorn spear, and she could walk on the ground. The master and servant went to the Kunlun Mountains to depend on each other.
Mu Xuanji peeled off the fruit, cleaned all the cores, cut them into pieces, and put them into the girl's mouth.
"Is it tasty?"
"It's delicious! But actually you don't have to feed me with your own hands...and you can eat these without peeling them -"
He wiped the corners of Mu Yin's mouth with his fingertips——
"Aren't you a princess? Since your father doesn't pamper you, I will pamper you as compensation."
"But you are not a member of my family, so there is no need, right?"
She was still as unthinking as before, and Mu Xuanji was a little embarrassed.
I don’t know if this... will become a family in the future...
After breakfast, Mu Yin took Mu Xuanji to the outside of the mountain range, and the two of them were talking along the way.
"Brother A-Xuan will you visit me again in the future? You're leaving without even telling me what's going on outside. What a pity..."
She looked very disappointed, and Mu Xuanji pinched Mu Yin's horns.
"Yes, what about you? When will you get out of here?"
"I will get out as soon as possible! After all, Brother Xuan, you are too weak! If you encounter danger every time you come in, I can't make it there every time!"
Mu Xuanji was not angry. He was indeed weak, and secretly decided in his heart that he must become stronger. A strong wind blew by, and the girl's long hair was blown up, and a strand fell on his lips.
With a look of reluctance on his face, distress and nostalgia in his eyes, he touched the back of his head with his fingers and untied his hair tie.
"Why are you pulling my hair?"
The girl trusted him very much and didn't look back when she felt him pulling her hair.
"I'm giving you a token, and my hair is always messy. Isn't it very inconvenient during the battle?"
He helped her tie up her hair very skillfully and gently, using the hair tie and her fingers to simply arrange it into a fresh and cool high ponytail. The girl touched the back of her head and realized that the hair tie left on the side belonged to Mu Xuanji, and looked back at him.
The young man with his hair spread out became more and more handsome and beautiful. The strong wind blew by, and his long hair was flying in the air. The eyes looking at her were intoxicating.
The girl suddenly grabbed his collar and pulled hard. Mu Xuanji was caught off guard and forced to lower his head.
A soft kiss fell on the corner of his eye. The boy's face turned red, but he did not dare to move.
"Brother Ah Xuan's eyes are very beautiful, especially when he looks at me!"
The boy looked at the girl and opened his lips. He felt that the place where he had just been kissed was getting hotter.
It was clearly words without any embellishments, but they were more pleasant to the ear than the flowery words of those noble and talented women in the imperial city, and they made his heart move even more...
Not yet... Even some nobles with strange hobbies would not attack such a young child... He has to wait... He has to be patient...
But this was originally his—she belonged to him!
After enduring his anxiety, the young man forced out a forced smile——
"Ayin is also very beautiful. She is the most beautiful girl in my eyes!"
The girl hugged his neck and kissed his face:
"Then you have to wait until I go out! Ah Yin will be more beautiful in the future! She will not be worse than any other girl outside!"
While joking and joking, the two of them were carried by the beast to the entrance of Kunlun Mountain. The guarding wood demon who had sent Mu Xuanji in before was not there, and was replaced by an attendant of Qian Duan.
That person was not Mu Xuanji's personal attendant, but a retainer of the emperor's uncle who was doing business in Yukun. The two of them had also met.
"Your Highness, you are finally out! Are you injured?"
The retainer was very excited when he saw Mu Xuanji. When he saw the holes in his clothes, he immediately looked around to see if there were any wounds on Mu Xuanji's body. He found that it was not serious, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, okay, your highness, please go out with me as soon as possible! By the way...this is..."
Mu Yin was not surprised that the man called Mu Xuanji "Your Highness". It was inevitable that he had a distinguished status. He was still calm after knowing that she was a princess. This could only mean that they were equals.
The middle-aged man cast his gaze on Mu Yin, and Mu Xuanji stood in front of her and smiled.
"The residents who live here are my new friends."
"That's it. Thank you little friend for taking care of His Highness!" The retainer realized that Mu Xuanji didn't want him to get close to the girl, so he stopped pestering her, bowed and led Mu Xuanji out.
"Brother A-Xuan! Goodbye! You should come back early to see me!"
Mu Yin waved at Mu Xuanji's back from a distance, and he turned back to wave. The two were far apart so they couldn't see each other.
The outer perimeter of Kunlun Mountain is surrounded by fog. If someone doesn't lead the way with a special token, it is easy to be attacked by the mountain formation.
Mu Xuanji and the man walked out for a long time, but they still didn't see the outer exit. He was a little surprised.
The man also said nothing and just led the way. The surrounding fog became thicker and thicker, and the strange beasts hidden in the thick fog gradually became restless.
"Where are you going?"
Mu Xuanji sensed something was wrong and stopped to question the man. The man knew he couldn't hide it and turned around with a ferocious face.
"Your Highness... I can only blame you for being born into an imperial family, but not having the talent to inherit the divine forging skills of Qiandian! You occupy the position of the eldest son but are unable to suppress the other royal heirs! You are destined to become a victim!"
The man took out a xun from his sleeve and put it to his mouth to play. The beasts suddenly started to riot and approached quickly, glaring at Mu Xuanji with eager eyes. Drool kept dripping on the ground.
"Uncle Huang asked you to kill me?!"
Mu Xuanji didn't need an answer from him. After the man finished playing the xun, his body continued to crack. The cost of using the instrument must have been very high. When he was dying, the retainer who was willing to be an abandoned son burst out laughing——
"I'm sorry for my incompetence! We welcomed the eldest prince when the beasts rioted on his way out of the mountain, but we failed to protect the prince. I hope that after the prince's death, the prince and the crown prince can take charge of the Thousand Forgings and revitalize the royal bloodline!"
After saying that, the man fell to the ground face to face and lost his breath.
The alien beasts were enraged, and no one was controlling them at the moment. They all pounced on the only living creature, Mu Xuanji. He was still in the mountain formation, and the inscriptions could not be activated, so he could only dodge the attacks of the alien beasts with difficulty.
Soon his body was covered with scars.
"After all... I was still betrayed..."
He and the emperor's uncle have always been at peace with each other. He even helped the emperor's uncle plan his business in Yukun many times, but he ended up like this!
A tiger-shaped beast tore his calf apart with one claw. The young man knelt down weakly. There were wounds and blood stains on his shoulders and arms, and his vision was black.
"It seems that there is no way...to fulfill...the agreement..."
Blood overflowed from his mouth, his vision turned black, and a familiar neighing sound sounded.
"Go away——!!!"
The girl was also covered in lacerations. She wielded a spear and fought with a group of strange beasts, but these rioting monsters were not afraid of her demonic power and flames. Even though she was strong, she was at a disadvantage for a while.
Why is she here?
His vision became increasingly blurry, but he still insisted on walking towards the battle circle where the girl was, and the inscription wave spread out——
He has to save her! The mountain-suppressing formation will only target the inscription caster. Just use the inscription to kill these monsters and buy her time...
No longer hesitating, Mu Xuanji used up all the demon power in his body and suppressed all these strange beasts without using any killing moves.
Mu Yin suddenly released a large amount of demonic power, knocking back all the alien beasts that had been delayed for a moment. He pulled Mu Xuanji onto the back of the beast and ran wildly in one direction.
"There's nothing you can do...you can't get out without the token...you...let me down..."
Mu Xuanji leaned on the girl, and the mountain formation was enraged. He could feel that the barrier above Kunlun Mountain had begun to release a large amount of spiritual power to attack.
She put herself down and turned back, and there was still a chance to survive, but if she continued to rush aimlessly with him, both of them would die!
"I won't let you die! I do what I say!" After saying that, the girl showed a gentle smile that frightened him——
Then she stretched out her hand and broke off a horn on her forehead, and golden blood spurted out. The girl screamed, but she still suppressed the pain of breaking the horn. The unicorn horn in her hand gradually attached to her body, and she continued to speed up.
Mu Xuanji suddenly remembered a legend - the legend about the unicorn horn -
"Qilin is a benevolent beast. Its scales can bring blessings, its hooves can ward off evil spirits, and its horns are especially precious. It can be reversible and bring good luck if you take it away. But only two of them remain. If you cut off one, there will be no more.
Senior citizens."
The unicorn horn can definitely change the cause and effect, and the outcome will definitely be a blessing!
In order to save Mu Xuanji, Mu Yin broke the unicorn horn that could not grow back!
The two finally rushed out of the mountain pass, but Mu Yin fainted the moment they rushed out of the valley. He loosely clutched the beast's mane, and Mu Xuanji hugged the girl, and the two fell to the ground.
He didn't have time to care about the scratches on his body. He was covered in blood, but it was not as painful as the unstoppable golden blood on her forehead. When the ferocious beast saw Mu Xuanji running hard with Mu Yin, he shouted angrily and reluctantly.
He roared, but did not stop the two of them.
It knows its owner must leave now or she will never wake up again!
It cannot leave the Kunlun Mountains. The God Emperor set a restriction on it back then because he was afraid that Mu Yin would leave.
