Now that Yao Chen mentioned this, Xiao Ling felt that there was nothing wrong with taking Yun Yun along.
However, before Xiao Ling could come back to his senses from his thoughts, Yao Chen suddenly showed a slightly evil smile on his face and used soul transmission to target Xiao Ling again.
However, there were clearly some different meanings in the tone of the voice this time.
"Besides, think about it, Yun Yun is a rare and stunning beauty. You, boy, have owed a lot of debts of love over the years. How can I not understand your character? Do you really want to watch such a stunning beauty being betrothed to someone else so unwillingly? Are you willing to let this happen?"
There seemed to be a hint of teasing and instigation in those words, which made Xiao Ling startled slightly, and some different thoughts arose in his mind.
Yao Chen's words touched Xiao Ling's heart directly, causing his originally calm and unconcerned emotions to suddenly surge with complex feelings.
Xiao Ling is not a generous person and is quite selfish at heart.
He had not had much contact with Yun Yun before, and Yun Yun could neither provide any help to him nor had any value to be cultivated, so he did not think much about it.
But judging from Yun Yun's appearance alone, she is indeed outstanding in appearance. In addition, Xiao Ling already has a good impression of her because of the filter of the original novel.
If Yun Yun were to be possessed by someone other than himself, it would be impossible for Xiao Ling to say that he would not feel unhappy.
Even if he doesn't fight for it himself, he will feel uncomfortable when he thinks about others getting what they want, and there will inevitably be some unhappy emotions mixed in.
As soon as he thought of this, Xiao Ling's originally hesitant thoughts instantly became firm.
I must take Yun Yun with me. Regardless of anything else, even if I just keep her by my side to dazzle my eyes, it would be better than letting that waste Gu He ruin her.
"Since you've asked me so sincerely, I naturally can't just stand by and watch, so I'll help you with reluctance."
Xiao Ling raised his eyes slightly, separated his gaze from Yao Chen, and looked back at Yun Yun, and said slowly,
"I'm quite against this kind of forced arranged marriage. Now that I've encountered your situation, I naturally don't mind helping you."
When Yun Yun heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. Her heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down and her face was full of gratitude.
Almost subconsciously, Yun Yun quickly stood up from her chair again and bowed deeply to Xiao Ling, her tone full of gratitude and sincerity:
"Thank you Master Xiao Ling for your help, which has allowed me to get rid of this heavy bondage. I will never forget your kindness today. If there is any place where I can use Yun Yun in the future, I will do my best and go through fire and water without hesitation."
After saying this, Yun Yun still maintained the posture of bowing to express her gratitude and loyalty. From her look, anyone could see that she was grateful from the bottom of her heart.
Seeing Yun Yun so terrified, Xiao Ling couldn't help but laugh and cry. He quickly urged his fighting spirit again, gently helped Yun Yun up, let her sit back in her seat, and then waved his hand and said:
"Okay, okay, you don't have to be like this. I already know what you mean. If I really need your help in the future, I will naturally not be polite to you. But with your current level of cultivation, I'm afraid it will take some time for you to help me. Of course, if you practice diligently and constantly improve yourself, maybe there will be a day in the future when you can really help me."
Xiao Ling spoke quite bluntly, but there was no impatience in his words. He just made a slight teasing remark.
When Yun Yun heard what Xiao Ling said, her fair face instantly turned lightly red, like peach blossoms quietly blooming in spring, shy and charming.
In fact, what she had been thinking in her mind before was not at all what Xiao Ling mentioned.
When she came to find Xiao Ling, she had already made the worst plan. Even if she had to give up everything, she would try her best to get Xiao Ling's help. After all, that was related to whether she could break free from the shackles and find the road to freedom again.
However, at this moment, seeing Xiao Ling's frank and sincere look, as if he was only trying to help, and he didn't seem to have any other extra thoughts, Yun Yun subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and her tense nerves also relaxed a little.
However, at the same time as she felt relieved, she inexplicably felt a sense of loss in her heart, as if the secret expectation hidden deep in her heart had shattered and dissipated like bubbles.
This complex and subtle emotion lingered in her heart, making Yun Yun a little stunned for a moment. She pursed her lips and didn't know how to speak. She just sat there quietly, and blurted out the words without thinking too much:
"Then...then I will work harder in my cultivation and strive to be able to help Master Xiao Ling as soon as possible."
Xiao Ling just chuckled and shook his head, his eyes showing a bit of helplessness and gentleness, and then slowly said: "Okay, let's leave it at that for now. You go back to Yunlan Sect first, and I will notify you when I am ready to return to Zhongzhou. You can also make some preparations in advance and communicate with your master."
Hearing this, Yun Yun hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, Master Xiao Ling, then Yun Yun will return to the sect and wait for your news. Everything is up to you to arrange."
After she finished speaking, she bowed respectfully again, then turned around, walked slowly out the door with lotus steps, but her back revealed a hint of expectation and longing that was difficult to conceal...
Chapter 576 Farewell
Above the solitary peak at the top of Yunlan Mountain, clouds and mist are lingering, like dancing gauze, adding a mysterious and ethereal atmosphere to the peak.
Yunshan, dressed in a white gown, is standing here quietly with his hands behind his back. His sleeves flutter in the mountain breeze, as if blending into the clouds in the mountains.
Suddenly, Yunshan sensed a familiar breath flying towards the back mountain of Yunnan Mountain.
He was startled for a moment, then slowly came to his senses, slowly turned his head, and looked in the direction where the breath came from.
In the misty clouds, Yun Yun's graceful figure was approaching from afar, like a nimble butterfly flying towards this place, with fluttering clothes and a light figure. Against the backdrop of the mountains' clouds, she looked like a fairy walking out of a painting, with a unique charm.
However, Yunshan didn't pay any attention to Yun Yun's graceful appearance. Instead, he frowned slightly, and a serious look appeared on his face.
After Yun Yun flew close to him and stood still, he immediately asked, "I heard from the Yunlan Sect's steward that you went to the Xiao family to visit Master Xiao Ling. What was your purpose? Why didn't you discuss this with me?"
Yun Yun, who had just received a definite answer from Xiao Ling, hurried along the way. The relaxed and happy expression on her face gradually faded and returned to her normal appearance.
At this moment, facing the master's slightly reproachful question, Yun Yun was not the least bit timid. She looked at Yun Shan with a firm gaze and went straight to the point.
"I went to look for Master Xiao Ling this time because I wanted to follow him, and he has already promised me that he will take me to Zhongzhou soon."
After hearing this unexpected news, Yunshan couldn't help but frown even deeper, his eyebrows seemed to be twisted into a knot. Subconsciously, he felt unhappy and shouted:
"Why didn't you tell me about this important matter? Don't you think I'm important to you? I've already arranged a marriage for you and Gu He, so what's your intention now?"
At this moment, what made Yunshan even more unhappy was not Yun Yun's specific actions, but the fact that Yun Yun dared to disobey his arrangement as a master. This made him feel humiliated and his dignity was destroyed.
"I have already made an agreement with Master Xiao Ling. Master, do you want me to break the agreement with Master Xiao Ling and be the kind of person who goes back on his word?" Yun Yun had no intention of backing down and retorted in a firm tone.
When these words came out, Yunshan was slightly stunned. Now, hearing his disciple's words, it was obvious that he had already made a clear agreement with Master Xiao Ling.
If he forced Yun Yun to break the agreement and go back on her word at this moment, Xiao Ling would certainly become even more dissatisfied with the Yunlan Sect. The thought of such a terrible scene might occur was something he absolutely did not want to see and could not accept.
Yun Yun did not give Yun Shan a chance to speak again. She turned around resolutely, took light steps, and left.
At the same time, her cold voice once again echoed in Yunshan's ears, like a cold spring in the mountains, with unquestionable firmness:
"On this trip, I will not only go to Zhongzhou with Master Xiao Ling, but I will also bring Yanran with me. Since you, Master, still value Yunlan Sect so much, then the position of the leader of Yunlan Sect will be returned to you. You are now in your prime, and I think you will be able to manage Yunlan Sect better. I will trouble you to take care of all the affairs in the future."
After saying this, Yun Yun's figure gradually walked away, leaving only a resolute back to Yun Shan.
Yunshan stood there blankly, staring at the receding figure, his face changing expression from shock to anger and a hint of unspeakable relief.
In this silence, only Yunshan's exclamation full of complex emotions remained, echoing in Yunlan Mountain for a long time...
……
Deep in the Warcraft Mountains, in a quiet valley, surrounded by green mountains.
The mountain is covered with green trees, and the branches and leaves rustle in the breeze.
In the center of this beautiful scenery, there is an elegant swing. The rope is carefully woven with soft and tough vines, and the seat is a wide and thick wooden board that exudes a faint wood fragrance.
Medusa and Xiao Ling were sitting on the swing, swinging gently.
Medusa's absolutely beautiful face looked even more radiant and charming under the sunlight. Her long hair like a waterfall fluttered in the wind. Occasionally, a few strands of hair playfully brushed Xiao Ling's cheek, bringing a slight itch.
Her eyes were full of tenderness and affection, as if all the beauty in the world was concentrated on the person in front of her.
Xiao Ling had a faint smile on his face. He gently held Medusa's slender waist with one hand and held the rope of the swing with the other hand. He exerted a little force, allowing the swing to carry them in a graceful arc in the air.
A gentle breeze blew, carrying the fragrance of flowers and the fresh scent of grass, lingering around them.
"You rarely look so carefree." Xiao Ling said as he stretched out his hand and gently smoothed the slightly messy hair on Medusa's forehead, a smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.
"Who wouldn't want to live a carefree life like this forever? Even for me, I had to put on that appearance because I was shouldering the responsibility of Queen Medusa. In the early years, my reputation outside was not very good."
Medusa said, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a smile, then she stretched out her finger, gently touched the tip of Xiao Ling's nose, and said with a playful chuckle,
"But now that I have you by my side, I can really be free from worries. After all, the snake people are doing well now, and I don't have anything to worry about. As long as I can have you by my side and keep this peace, I feel full of joy and have nothing else to ask for."
"And our child, we can't forget him."
Xiao Ling smiled dotingly, letting Medusa's slender hands gently caress his face. He slowly stretched out his hand and gently placed it on Medusa's still very flat abdomen, his eyes full of expectation and cherishment.
"Of course I won't forget him. But the gestation period of our snake people is relatively long, so it will take time for this little guy to be born."
Medusa looked at Xiao Ling's expectant expression, and a bit of maternal kindness appeared on her face involuntarily. She leaned slightly, moved closer to Xiao Ling, and whispered softly in her voice as gentle as water.
The two of them were so affectionate with each other that time seemed to become particularly gentle and passed slowly.
Unconsciously, the sun, which was originally half hanging in the sky, gradually set in the west. The brilliant afterglow was like a golden gauze, gently falling into the valley, giving this place, which was originally full of the breath of the morning sun, a layer of dreamy dusk color.
At this time, Medusa had already slightly turned sideways and lay in Xiao Ling's arms, with her eyes closed, breathing evenly, and taking a nap with her eyes closed.
Xiao Ling carefully held her body gently, looking at the beauty in his arms tenderly, with a faint smile on his lips, his heart full of happiness and peace, enjoying these few comfortable moments to the fullest.
At this time, Medusa gently opened her narrow and long phoenix eyes. Her eyes were as deep as a deep pool, as if hiding endless thoughts.
When Xiao Ling saw Medusa open her eyes, he naturally looked at her. Their eyes met. For a moment, the air around them seemed to become quiet and sticky.
Medusa slowly stretched out her slender jade hand and gently stroked Xiao Ling's face. She opened her red lips slightly and asked softly with a hint of loneliness that was barely noticeable, "Are you leaving?"
Xiao Ling was slightly stunned when he heard this, then nodded slowly, with a hint of reluctance in his tone, and responded softly:
"I am planning to leave. There are still many things waiting for me to deal with in Zhongzhou. Also, I have to send Zi Yan back to the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan as soon as possible. After all, her taking of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit cannot be delayed any further. I have to make proper arrangements as soon as possible."
As he spoke, he gently held Medusa's hand on his face, as if he wanted to convey some comfort and attachment in this way.
Medusa lowered her eyes slightly, and her long eyelashes cast a faint shadow on her eyelids. She was silent for a long time, with a feeling of reluctance surging in her heart.
After all, she had just become pregnant not long ago, and had just married her beloved, but her lover was about to leave. Even with her usually strong character, it was really hard for her to let go at this moment.
However, she still tried hard to suppress the reluctance that lingered in her heart, took a deep breath, and said softly:
"In that case, there is no need to delay any longer. You can set off tomorrow morning. I will stay here in the Snake Tribe to take care of my baby. It will be inconvenient for me to go with you, so I will not go to Zhongzhou with you. You should also take good care of yourself outside. The child and I will wait for you to come back here."
After saying that, she raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Ling, her eyes full of affection and concern. It was as if her gaze wanted to engrave Xiao Ling's appearance deeply into her heart, so as to comfort her in the upcoming separation.
After hearing what Medusa said, Xiao Ling's heart was suddenly filled with complicated emotions.
He was sad about the impending separation, but he also understood that Medusa's decision at the moment was indeed the most appropriate one, and this was the only way forward at the moment.
So, he nodded slowly, his eyes full of tenderness and reluctance, and said softly:
"Then you should stay in the snake tribe and enjoy a leisurely life. You must take good care of your health. After the baby is born, I will definitely come back to see you as soon as possible. No matter how far apart we are, I will definitely come back..."
……
Inside the luxurious bedroom in the core area of the Medusa Temple, the dim candlelight flickered gently, and the light and shadows danced on the walls, as if adding a touch of tenderness to the impending separation.
Under the candlelight, two figures could be seen entangled tightly together. They were Xiao Ling and Medusa.
At this moment, they didn't need to say much, just hugged each other tightly, and their intertwined figures expressed their deep reluctance to part with each other, as well as their inseparable attachment.
The air around them seemed to become hot and sticky, filled with indissoluble affection. On the eve of their separation, they only wanted to engrave each other more deeply in their hearts, so that this love could withstand the coming pain of separation.
Even though Medusa was now pregnant and had many inconveniences in her movements, the reluctance and attachment lingering in her hearts, like a surging tide, had already completely shattered the last bit of rationality left in the two.
On the eve of their separation, in order to leave no regrets for each other, Medusa was completely determined. Even though she was so proud, she let go of the bottom line she usually adhered to, and immersed herself in this moment that belonged only to the two of them with Xiao Ling, allowing Xiao Ling to experience a different kind of wonderful feeling that he had never felt from her before.
