1847 To Snow Territory 5

Ouyang Mingjing displayed great thoughtfulness.

Gu Chaoyan gave a slight nod in response.

Going out for a walk with him?

She felt a sense of repulsion.

However, at the moment, she needed to venture outside and familiarize herself with the happenings in Snow Territory. It was the only way for her to execute her plan.

Time was running short, with just ten days remaining.

Considering this

Gu Chaoyan composed herself and nodded in agreement.

Ouyang Mingjing flashed a brief smile.

He arranged for some casual guards and set off with Gu Chaoyan.

As soon as they stepped outside, a maid held an umbrella over Gu Chaoyan.

Umbrellas were not a common sight in Snow Territory, and only a few individuals made use of them.

Since arriving in this place, Gu Chaoyan had also observed that Ouyang Mingjing and his guards, who were known for their formidable magical prowess, remained unaffected by the falling snowflakes.

Only those like them were aware of the snow landing on their bodies.

However

Now the maid was s.h.i.+elding her with an umbrella, preventing the snowflakes from landing on it.

Curiosity welled up within Gu Chaoyan, prompting her to steal a few more glances at him.

Observing Gu Chaoyans interest in the umbrella, Ouyang Mingjing spoke up. The maid is using her magical power to envelop the umbrella, preventing the snow from falling on it.

.

When you cleanse yourself with the Fire Lotus Flower, you wont have to go through such trouble when youre out here, Ouyang Mingjing said with a smile. He mentioned the benefits of the Fire Lotus Flower, intending to instill hope within her.

Gu Chaoyan nodded, although deep down, she had no desire for it.

Ouyang Mingjing had grown accustomed to seeing her in such a state. Ever since the King of the Saint Divine Land had gone missing in Snow Territory, she had been like this.

What was so remarkable about the King of the Saint Divine Land anyway?

In truth, over the past two days, his men had also been searching for them. However, his intention was not to bring her back, but to prevent her from dwelling on thoughts of the King.

They strolled through the city.

One notable distinction between Snow Territory and the Saint Divine Land was the absence of an imperial court. Even Ouyang Mingjing only possessed a single palace of his own. As they ventured beyond the palace, they encountered numerous ordinary citizens bustling through the streets of Snow Territory.

As a result, she had only taken a few steps when all the residents of Snow Territory greeted her politely.

Gu Chaoyan didnt enjoy this sensation.

Everyone treated her as if she were a revered G.o.ddess.

Moreover, she was a shy person who disliked being the center of attention, with so many eyes fixed on her.

Ouyang Mingjing was unaware of this aspect.

However, Huaijin was well aware of it.

After the endowment ceremony, he had taken it upon himself to defend her and ensure that she stayed alone at Fengxian Palace. There were few people present at Fengxian Palace, and nothing would make her feel uncomfortable there.

City Lord, are you taking the Phoenix Girl out for a stroll? a composed and aged voice interjected.

Gu Chaoyan snapped back to reality.

She directed her gaze towards the man who spoke.

She vaguely recognized him. She had noticed him among the crowd when she first arrived in Snow Territory.

He and Ouyang Mingjing seemed to be on opposing sides.

This man didnt bother concealing his dissatisfaction with Ouyang Mingjing.

Furthermore, he conversed with Ouyang Mingjing without exhibiting any respect.
