Mu Xue and Mu Xue

By the quiet lake, an expression as innocent and pleading as a child suddenly appeared on Li Yunlong's face. He looked at Muxue with bright eyes, which were full of expectation, as if he was a child longing to get his favorite toy.

When Mu Xue saw him like this, she was stunned at first, and then felt a little embarrassed.

She thought to herself, "Although this can be barely called 'not ashamed to ask questions', under the current circumstances, the degree of 'not ashamed' seems a bit too deep.

Is this really the same Deputy General in Golden Armor who usually appears so majestic and powerful in front of everyone?" Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth involuntarily rose, revealing a smile that he couldn't help but laugh.

"There's no secret to it. It's probably just luck. Look, if I throw another one, maybe there won't be as many as the one I just threw."

As Mu Xue spoke, she picked up a stone and threw it into the lake with a flick of her wrist.

The stone jumped three times on the water surface and then slowly sank into the lake, as if the success just now was just a result of luck.

In fact, Mu Xue had never discovered any special tricks to skipping stones on the water. Her previous outstanding performances were mostly due to luck.

The two of them threw rocks back and forth, and soon, all the flat rocks they could find nearby were thrown into the lake. Mu Xue looked at the empty lakeside and muttered in frustration, "Oh, what should I do now that there are no more rocks to play with?"

"It's okay, watch me!" Li Yunlong responded confidently, then raised his hand casually.

In an instant, a mysterious force seemed to be surging on the calm surface of the lake, and the water began to turbulently, creating layers of ripples.

After a while, under Mu Xue's gaze full of shock and curiosity, a pile of stones slowly emerged from the lake as if held up by an invisible big hand, and then flew towards them.

These stones did not fly out in a disorderly manner, but seemed to be placed steadily on an invisible platform, arranged neatly and moving towards the shore in an orderly manner.

"What do you think? Am I powerful? Space elements are very rare!" Li Yunlong's face was filled with a smug look, and he looked like a child waiting for praise.

"Awesome! That's awesome! Now we have more fun!" Mu Xue was so excited that she danced with joy. The slight regret she had just felt had long since disappeared.

It turned out that what supported these stones was the space barrier created by Li Yunlong by cleverly using space elements.

He had quietly set up this space barrier when Mu Xue threw the first stone.

What he wanted in his heart was to let Muxue play to her heart's content, have fun and enjoy herself to the fullest.

Li Yunlong has a special affection for children. However, due to his noble and special status, he has very few opportunities to interact with children.

This also resulted in his skill of making children happy being useless for a long time, and it could only remain silent in his heart.

Li Yunlong made the space barrier into a funnel shape, and all the stones were piled together.

Then he waved his hand lightly and brought back all the stones.

"Let's play! Have fun! Enjoy yourself!" Li Yunlong shouted loudly.

"Great!" Mu Xue responded happily.

In this way, the two of them were immersed in this simple happiness, and time passed quietly.

Before I knew it, the bright moon was hanging high in the night sky, casting a cool and soft light, and the stars were like dazzling gems, densely inlaid in the vast sky.

"Okay! Let's go back, otherwise your brother will worry." Li Yunlong looked up at the sky and said softly.

"Yeah, okay~ let's go back." Mu Xue nodded slightly. Although there was a hint of reluctance in her words, she also understood that she couldn't let her brother worry.

Mu Xue was indeed particularly happy tonight. This night, the two of them were not just skipping stones on the water, enjoying the fun of hearing the stones jumping on the water.

They also chatted a lot. Li Yunlong told about the interesting things he did when he was a child playing in the mountains and forests. Those experiences were full of childlike innocence and adventure. Mu Xue laughed out loud and was amazed at times.

Then, Li Yunlong slowly talked about how he and Ziyuan met, what a wonderful encounter it was, and how they gradually got to know each other and cherished each other over the years. Muxue listened attentively, as if she was also in those stories, feeling their joys and sorrows.

In the distant past, Li Yunlong was still an inconspicuous and unknown little Silver Armor Guard, who silently stayed at his ordinary post every day.

However, the gears of fate began to turn quietly during an important mission, bringing him and Ziyuan together.

At that time, the situation among the three kingdoms was tense and delicate. Hua Yan and the other two countries were in a stalemate, forming a balance that no one dared to break easily.

However, no one could have foreseen that the United States and the Three Colors would secretly collude and launch a surprise attack on Hua Yan. The flames of war were about to blaze across this land.

Ziyuan was traveling alone in a border city at the time. She was free and unrestrained by nature and did not travel with other fellow disciples.

Therefore, when the war broke out suddenly without any warning, she was caught off guard.

At that time, Zi Yuan's cultivation level was at the Fate Realm, and he had lit up 348 stars. Although this was considered outstanding among his peers, there was still a considerable gap compared to the enemy generals.

The enemy leader is a powerful and fierce general with more than 522 life stars. He exudes a terrifying and powerful aura.

Although there were several powerful people in the Fate Realm guarding the city, they fell one after another and died under the fierce and ferocious attack of the enemy general.

Li Yunlong was only at the peak of the Soul Realm at that time. In front of the fierce battle between the Life Realm masters, he was as small as an ant and could not directly participate in such a high-level battle.

"You should break through quickly. I'll hold them back first. Once you break through the Fate Realm, you'll be able to awaken your own elements. Awakening your elements will be a qualitative improvement in your strength."

Ziyuan spoke to Li Yunlong in the city with a firm gaze, then flew out without hesitation and resolutely faced the enemy that was surging like a tide.

Li Yunlong knew in his heart that if he could not break through the realm of destiny, he would have to watch the city fall and be powerless to do anything.

So, he listened to Ziyuan's words, quickly calmed down, and devoted all his mind to the difficult practice of breaking through the realm.

Although Ziyuan's courage is commendable, with her cultivation level of 348 stars, it is undoubtedly an extremely difficult challenge for her to fight against the enemy who is above 522 stars.

Although Ziyuan's fighting skills are superb, the spearmanship she practiced is like a nimble dragon, moving freely on the battlefield, and the opponent is a sword cultivator, so he is at a certain disadvantage when facing a spear cultivator.

But the huge gap in realm was like an insurmountable mountain, standing before her.

But Ziyuan had no intention of retreating. She fought hard on the battlefield and stubbornly held back the four enemy Fate Realm warriors with her own strength.

Among these four strong men, although the number of cultivation stars of two of them is slightly lower than hers, the number of cultivation stars of the other two is hundreds of stars higher than her.

Ziyuan shuttled through the forest of guns and rain of swords. Every time she fired a gun, it contained her unyielding will and tenacious spirit. The shining gun light was like a bright arc of light, drawing thrilling trajectories in the enemy's formation.

Thanks to Ziyuan's selfless delay, Li Yunlong finally gained precious time to break through.

He immersed himself in deep cultivation, constantly breaking through the bottleneck of his destiny realm.

His clothes were soaked with sweat, and his face looked slightly hideous due to extreme concentration and effort.

Finally, at the critical moment, he successfully broke through the realm of life and awakened the extremely rare space element.

However, although Li Yunlong successfully broke through, the situation at this time was extremely serious.

The city was on the verge of collapse under the enemy's fierce attack. Although they tried their best, they still failed to save the city.

At this critical moment, Li Yunlong exerted the power of space elements that had just awakened. A mysterious space teleportation array lit up under his feet. He, with Ziyuan, who was exhausted but still had a determined look in his eyes, instantly disappeared from the spot and escaped from the ruins of war.

This battle ultimately ended in failure.

But Ziyuan's heroic performance in this battle was like a dazzling star, leaving a deep impression in everyone's hearts.

Her legendary story of holding back four powerful Fate Realm warriors by herself quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys. Since then, the name "Gun God" has been closely linked with Ziyuan and has become a legend passed down by people.
