"Is it cold? "Little Xi." Amidst the wild wind, Long Chen sat on the Little Wolf's back and welcomed the incoming wild wind with his back. And Ling Xi was currently nestled in his embrace, she had pulled her body tightly into Long Chen's embrace, her face as white as jade, currently lacked a bit of blood. It seemed like she was cold to the extreme.
"En," Ling Xi nodded weakly, looking at Long Chen, water mist about to appear in her eyes again.
"Wolf, is there any way to raise the temperature of your body?" Long Chen asked loudly.
Sure enough, after he finished speaking, Long Chen felt the temperature of Xiao Lang's body increase by a lot. Only then did Ling Xi feel better, but it was useless if the fierce wind had reached his bones, as he could only choose to use his body to block Ling Xi with all his might.
Of course, the little wolf increased its speed. Ling Xi's mortal body was starting to feel unbearable.
"Brother Chen, where are we going?" Ling Xi asked.
"Source Spirit City, we have no way to return. Biyang Royal City is the center of the Canyang Kingdom, and if we go from the Imperial City to any direction, the distance we have to travel to the west is about the same." Long Chen patted her head, and explained while looking at her somewhat dotingly.
"Why are you heading west?" Ling Xi was a little confused. Her curious look could only be described as a disaster because she was cute in her innocence.
If it wasn't for the fact that Ling Xi's looks were too much of a disaster, Long Chen wouldn't need to take him and the little wolf to flee for her life. Fortunately, the wolf cub did not care, as his enemy was the royal family. Long Chen had killed the ninth prince, and the ninth prince possessed the blood of his enemy, so he was extremely grateful to Long Chen.
In the Canyang Kingdom, there is only one strength that can go against the royal family, and that is the Demonic Palace. The headquarters of the Demonic Palace is in the west side of the Diremonster Mountain, and the closer we are to the Diremonster Mountain, the fewer members of the royal family there will be. We can pa.s.s through the Diremonster Mountain and enter the west side of the West Sea Country, and the West Sea Country will be our sworn enemy. Long Chen slowly explained to Ling Xi.
"Can we really escape successfully?" Ling Xi was a little lost as she watched the distant Biyang Royal City grow further and further away.
"Of course, don't think too much about it. You should sleep in peace for a while. The following days will probably be very tiring for you. I don't have the heart to watch my family's Xiaoxi get sick from overwork, then turn ugly. " Long Chen pinched her nose with all his might and laughed strangely.
"Brother Chen, you're a bad guy." Ling Xi was a little shy as she reached out her hands to push away Long Chen's anxious claws. Even though Long Chen had guaranteed that he would be fine, the worry and confusion in her heart still did not dissipate.
"I'm sorry, it's all because of me. If it weren't for me, you would have received a lot of nurturing in the Imperial City. You wouldn't be like this, aimless, uncertain, and desperate." Thinking of this, Ling Xi felt very sad.
"Silly girl, what did you say?" Long Chen was a little displeased. He gently held Ling Xi's head and looked into Ling Xi's eyes with a determined gaze. The resolute belief in his eyes moved Ling Xi a little.
"Xiao Xi, remember, don't say such words to me again. There is no relation between us, your business is my business. I am a man, it is perfectly justified for me to take responsibility and protect women. If you say anything else, I'll just treat it as you bulls.h.i.+tting? " Long Chen smiled faintly.
"You're the one bulls.h.i.+tting, hmph!" Ling Xi reached out an arm and tried to pinch Long Chen's face with all her might. She wanted to punish Long Chen but unfortunately, her strength was too weak to even pinch Long Chen's face.
"I'm really useless." Ling Xi said with his head down.
Although she was fleeing for her life, under Long Chen's teasing and teasing words, the heavy heart Ling Xi had gradually calmed down a little and revealed a peerlessly beautiful smile. Long Chen felt that she had grown up. The girl in his arms at this moment, was just like a blooming lily, pure, natural, and there was even a little inner enchantment in her. Long Chen couldn't bear to see a little bit of her beauty being harmed.
This was the most important thing that he wanted to spend his entire life protecting, the place where his soul rested, and his other life. Anyone who dared to lay a hand on Ling Xi, would undoubtedly be touching Long Chen's hardest line.
Killing the Ninth Prince and escaping with his life, Long Chen did not regret at all.
Only, while Ling Xi had recovered from her shock, she was still incomparably heavy in her heart. He merely didn't let Ling Xi feel it.
Long Chen had killed the Ninth Prince, and was basically fighting against the entire country. In this country, there were always people from the royal family, and there were countless strong people in the royal family. How could Long Chen be their match right now?
Moreover, many of the small scale communication demon beasts were even faster than the little wolves carrying Ling Xi. Just at this moment, the news of them trying to capture Long Chen had already spread through many cities, countless of which were like giant dormant beasts, waiting for Long Chen to walk into their trap.
Because of this, while they were hurrying along the way, Long Chen had not entered the city a single time, as he was worried that his whereabouts would be discovered, and so he and the little wolf specifically chose a remote path, trying to walk in as desolate a place as possible.
Three days and three nights had pa.s.sed, and in order to take care of Ling Xi's body, their speed wasn't fast. It could be said that if not for Ling Xi, their speed would have been increased by at least three times.
In the wilderness, Long Chen couldn't even find dry food. He could only let Ling Xi eat the roasted beast meat. In these three days, these greasy foods had already been vomited once by Ling Xi. Seeing Ling Xi puking in front of him, Long Chen felt as if his heart was being sliced in half. He really wanted to stop and travel, so that Ling Xi could properly recuperate her body in this manner.
"Brother Chen, it's okay, I'm really okay. Let's go." With Long Chen's support, Ling Xi asked somewhat powerlessly.
Under the starlight, the Sun Devouring Demonic Wolf was like the wind as it ran in the wilderness.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Ling Xi like this, Long Chen felt extremely uncomfortable in her heart. He increased her strength a little, allowing Ling Xi to lie in her arms more comfortably.
"Brother Chen, I dreamt that you died." After Ling Xi finished speaking, he laid in Long Chen's embrace and started crying. The soft sobbing sounds were like that of an ant crawling into Long Chen's ears.
"Xiao Xi!" Long Chen hugged her. His firm eyes looked at the bright starlight and didn't flinch in the slightest.
"You must believe me, no one can kill me, I am immortal! You can sleep in peace and rest well. I will continue to hug you like this forever. As long as you are willing, you can continue to be with me at any time you want. "
To be able to say such firm words, it was enough to express the determination in Long Chen's heart. Of course, Long Chen didn't have much of a guarantee in his heart either. He only knew that no matter what danger was approaching, he would always stand in front of Ling Xi and protect her, regardless of life or death.
"En" Ling Xi opened her eyes wide and nodded.
"Sleep well, I won't die." Long Chen reminded her once again as he gently wiped away the tears on her face. After that, he looked at her timid expression and faintly smiled.
When he had finally coaxed Ling Xi to sleep, the sky was already almost bright. Long Chen looked at this vast land, and a moment of confusion appeared in his eyes.
"Xiao Lang, I need to find a small city and enter first. I need to see if there are any maps of the Canyang Kingdom and buy some of Ling Xi's daily necessities." After pondering for a moment, Long Chen decided.
