A family of widows, all shouldered, raising the dragon flag!

Warm and soft! Sweet and delicious!

The rain keeps falling!

It pierced through their clothes, quickly making the clothes cling to their bodies!

But at this moment, the two of them did not feel any coldness at all; all they felt was intense heat.

far away!

Chu Qingrou's opinion of Qin Ze was changed once again.

Qin Ze would rather risk being killed than let his older sister get hurt.

He would rather be cut by that crescent moon blade and bleed profusely than miss the location of that whispered sword.

Qin Ze!

He's intelligent, adaptable, and not a reckless fool!

Along the way, her feelings for Qin Ze continued to grow.

After a long time!

Chu Yanran blushed and nestled in Qin Ze's arms.

Qin Ze carried the other person directly to a restaurant, then let the other person take a hot bath and personally brewed a ginger soup to dispel the cold for the other person.

Looking at Chu Yanran who had just returned from her bath.

Like a lotus emerging from the water, her beauty is breathtaking.

"Come and have a bowl of ginger soup to avoid catching a cold."

Chu Yanran looked at Qin Ze's concerned eyes.

Spring is gradually warming my heart!

I gently accepted the ginger soup.

She parted her red lips slightly and blew on the ginger soup in the spoon.

Then it was delivered to Qin Ze!

"Ninth Brother, come on, you drink too!"

These words were spoken.

Such an action!

Qin Ze stared at the other person with wide eyes.

The other woman's shy demeanor made Qin Ze unable to resist the urge to step forward and kiss her.

But when the beauty herself blew the ginger soup cool and brought it to his lips, how could he refuse!

"Fifth... Yanran, you're so kind!"

Hearing Qin Ze's sudden change in address, Chu Yanran's eyes were full of smiles.

"Besides being good?"

Looking at the smile in the other person's eyes, Qin Ze was actually a little afraid to meet their gaze.

Because he was afraid he would lose control.

He even felt that he was out of control at this moment, and that the other party probably wouldn't refuse.

"Beautiful and kind-hearted, she inspires deep love and unforgettable memories, even to the point of sacrificing one's life..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chu Yanran's slender finger blocked Qin Ze's mouth.

"Don't say the word 'death'!"

Looking at the seriousness in the other person's eyes, and gazing at the slender fingers that had just touched her lips.

Qin Ze opened his mouth softly and took a small bite.

Instantly, Chu Yanran's jade-like face glowed like a blazing fire.

"Ninth Brother, you...you're so mean!"

Qin Ze slowly picked up the ginger soup, a happy smile on his lips.

"Come on, let me feed you!"

As he spoke, Qin Ze gently blew on the ginger soup in the spoon.

Then he slowly brought it to Chu Yanran's lips.

Chu Yanran was a little shy.

I wanted to refuse.

Seeing Qin Ze's serious expression, she couldn't bear to refuse.

Her red lips parted slightly.

The warm ginger soup slowly went down her throat, and the sensation reminded her of the scene of the two of them in the rain.

Just as Qin Ze was about to feed the other person the second bite.

Chu Yanran refused.

"Ninth Brother, I'm fine, and I'm not as weak as you think."

"Wait until the rain stops, then you can take me home!"

Qin Ze was puzzled by Chu Yanran's sudden decision to return.

But he still nodded very seriously.

"good!"

Seeing Qin Ze's quick agreement, Chu Yanran couldn't help but wonder how Shen Zhiwei, Liu Jinghong... had been won over by Qin Ze.

Why did Qin Ze suddenly become like an unromantic wooden figure in front of her?

They didn't even ask her why she wanted to go back.

Instead, they readily agreed.

Aren't you curious what I'll do back there?

"Well, if you want to tell me, you will. If you don't want to, asking will only put you in a difficult position!"

"So I feel it's best not to put you in a difficult position!"

Qin Ze's heartwarming words instantly touched Chu Yanran's heart, who was initially somewhat angry.

"I'm going back to tell my mother that no matter what your ranking is on the list of prodigies, I'm going back with you!"

The word "go back" encompasses everything.

Chu Yanran felt that she had been too proactive, so proactive that she didn't dare to look at Qin Ze.

"what?"

Qin Ze was somewhat bewildered.

He had not yet passed Chu Yanran's test.

But now Chu Yanran's words have clearly hinted at something to him.

"I haven't completed your test yet. Once I have, I'll take you back."

Qin Ze's eyes revealed an unwavering seriousness.

Chu Yanran couldn't help but chide him, "I already said I was going back with you, why are you still going to finish this?"

"And I don't want you to continue taking risks."

"Because every one of the future prodigies will be an insurmountable mountain for you. I don't want to lose you, do you understand?"

Chu Yanran's words were tantamount to a disguised confession.

If any other man heard this, he would probably be jumping for joy right now.

But Qin Ze smiled gently.

Remain unmoved by favor or disgrace!

"How can I not do what I promised you just because it seems insurmountable?"

"If that's the case, would you be happy if I made up an excuse to break my promises to you in the future?"

"And also, I want to marry you honorably!"

"I won't let anyone have the thought of questioning your choice."

Qin Ze's words struck Chu Yanran like a thunderbolt.

She never thought about any of that!

Or perhaps she never considered these things.

But Qin Ze went to such lengths just to put her to a test.

For a moment, she was speechless!

"Are you really going to continue?"

"Um!"

The firm and powerful voice made Chu Yanran realize that she could not change Qin Ze's decision.

"good!"

"Then I'll go with you!"

The phrase "I'll be with you" seems to be the most powerful declaration.

Qin Ze was equally moved.

roof!

Under the dark oil-paper umbrella!

Chu Qingrou listened to her older sister and Qin Ze's conversation and a smile appeared on her lips.

She grew to like Qin Ze's character more and more.

A man should keep his word.

Instead of making excuses for one's weakness or trying to justify one's incompetence.

Only by facing difficulties head-on can a man's true character be revealed.

……

Three days later!

Qin Ze drove the carriage to Junlin, the most powerful city in the Chu Kingdom!

The city lord's name is Xiao Junlin!

Legend has it that every lord of King's Landing changes his name to King's Landing.

Nothing more!

Only strength matters!

Changing the name to "Junlin" requires not only bearing the city's fortune but also possessing the strength to protect it.

Qin Ze quietly looked at the city wall, which was over a hundred feet high.

Its grandeur surpasses even that of the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The words "The Emperor's Arrival" were clearly written on the city wall.

Next to the words "Junlin" is written the lines: "The wind howls, the Yi River is cold, the hero departs, never to return!"

Just as Qin Ze was about to ask what the intricacies were,

Chu Yanran seemed to understand what he wanted to ask.

He then proceeded to explain directly.

"Ninth Brother, the one guarding this city is Xiao Junlin, ranked tenth on the Prodigy Ranking!"

"The weapon I use is the Coiled Dragon Staff, and my staff techniques are unparalleled, rarely seen in the world!"

"The words on the city wall were carved by him after he defeated the previous city lord."

"He came to the challenge with the determination to die."

"That's why we have those two lines of poetry on the city wall!"

"If you wish to challenge him, all you need to do is leave your mark on this city wall!"

Qin Ze was somewhat puzzled.

"That simple?"

"Ninth Brother, you'll know whether it's easy or not once you go up and try."

"The top ten on the Prodigy Ranking are actually almost indistinguishable. Even if the number one came here, it would be difficult for him to inscribe such a complete two lines of poetry as Xiao Junlin."

"Because being able to leave words requires the strength of the Free and Unfettered Realm."

"To leave behind a lasting poem, one needs the tranquility and freedom of a celestial realm!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Ze realized that he had underestimated the other party's strength.

However, he also wanted to try to leave a message.

He immediately leaped up and flew through the air.

He carved the character "战" (war) directly onto the city wall with his spear.

The characters were carved, but they disappeared in the blink of an eye.

This scene caused Qin Ze to frown slightly.

He immediately used a Heaven-rank martial skill.

"Destruction!"

Rumble...

This time, the word "war" was completely engraved on it.

And it seems to be spreading further.

The entire city wall rumbled and roared as if it were fighting against something.

The earth shook violently!

far away!

A thunderous sound rang out!

"Who dares to challenge this city lord!"
