The palace tent at night was extremely quiet, Fang Ying poked her head out of the bed, but was pushed back by Nie Mingchi.

Tomorrow morning is the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, Nie Mingchi went to bed early, but Fang Ying did not fall asleep so easily.

While Nie Mingchi was not paying attention, Fang Ying got out of bed and went outside to watch the stars.

The night is as cool as water, and the sky is filled with countless stars, which looks very beautiful.Standing under the starlight, Fang Ying unconsciously became obsessed with it.

Suddenly, Fang Ying heard a change in the grass in the distance, Fang Ying looked in that direction, and the grass moved slightly.

Fang Ying raised his vigilance and moved cautiously towards the grass.It wasn't until he approached lightly that he realized that there was someone hiding in the bushes.

He was also a man in black night clothes.

There are assassins.This thought flashed by, and in the next moment, Fang Ying saw countless people in black clothes running out of the woods and heading towards this side.

"There are assassins! Protect the young emperor!" Someone shouted, awakening countless people.

Fang Ying quickly ran back to Nie Mingchi's tent.Nie Mingchi had been awakened just now, and now he was wearing a robe and holding a long sword. When he saw the fox, he grabbed it into his arms.Then he came out of the tent unhurriedly.

There is already a battle outside, and the sound of swords and swords is repeated.After Nie Mingchi came out and joined the battle circle, many killers came towards him,

Nie Mingchi fought and retreated, leading some of the killers away.

Dark clouds covered the moon, and the night light dimmed. Nie Mingchi led the assassin to a cliff without knowing it.

Seeing the terrain in front of him clearly, Nie Mingchi was in a bad mood. After dealing with the last assassin following him, Nie Mingchi turned around and rushed towards the camp.

However, after returning to the camp, there was no sign of the young emperor.At this moment, the assassin came out from the darkness, revealing the young emperor with a knife around his neck.

Nie Mingchi frowned, "What do you want?"

The assassin said, "You, come with us."

The assassins asked Nie Mingchi to follow them by name. Nie Mingchi pondered for a moment, then followed the assassins.

When everyone came to the cliff where Nie Mingchi came, the assassin said, "You jump off and we will release the young emperor."

"Really?" Nie Mingchi asked.

"Then let the young emperor go first, and I'll be your hostage."

The assassin looked at Nie Mingchi and accepted the proposal.He pushed the young emperor back into the crowd following him, and at the same time, put a gleaming knife on Nie Mingchi's neck.

Nie Mingchi was pushed to the edge of the cliff, and he was about to be pushed down.

At the very moment, Fang Ying jumped out of Nie Mingchi's arms, suddenly changed into a human form, and slammed into the assassin beside him.

Before anyone could react, Nie Mingchi received a palm on the back and fell off the cliff.Fang Ying immediately jumped down.

Fang Ying protected Nie Mingchi, the two rolled down all the way, bending many plants and trees.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a cave on the stone platform by the cliff, Fang Ying and Nie Mingchi leaned over, and just rolled down in front of the cave.

Nie Mingchi had just received a slap, and now he has passed out.

Fang Ying helped Nie Mingchi up, it was raining patter outside, Fang Ying took him into the cave by himself.

Fortunately, the cave looks dry and can be used as a temporary resting place.Fang Ying breathed a sigh of relief and placed Nie Mingchi next to the cave.

Nie Mingchi woke up in a daze, and saw Fang Ying by the reappearing moonlight.

Fang Ying's hand was resting on his forehead, and Nie Mingchi grasped it, startling Fang Ying.

"Are you awake?" Fang Ying said.

"It's you." Nie Mingchi felt relieved after hearing the voice, "Where is this?"

"This is a cave on the edge of the cliff, we are here." Fang Ying said.

Nie Mingchi hummed, and supported his body to half sit up.His eyes fell on Fang Ying, and he smiled suddenly, "I remember that you don't seem to be in the team."

"I remembered, you were transformed by that fox, so you turned out to be a vixen?"

Fang Ying was taken aback by the sudden words, and it took him a while to react, and then he remembered that when he was in a hurry, his body unconsciously changed into a human shape, and that's what happened later.

But the word "vixen" still inevitably caught Fang Ying by surprise, "What kind of vixen, I'm a fox, but I'm not a vixen!"

Seeing that he admitted, Nie Mingchi smiled and said nothing.There was a moment of silence in the cave.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if it's a fox or a vixen, it has been with me for a long time." Nie Mingchi said as if talking to himself.

Fang Ying's ears moved, but he didn't speak.

Seeing that Fang Ying ignored him, Nie Mingchi stopped talking and just got up to explore the cave.

The cave is very open, and Nie Ming blew out the torch that he carried with him, lighting up one side.

Only now did he see clearly that Fang Ying already had injuries of various sizes.These wounds were all scratched by rocks and weeds on the cliff when he was protecting Nie Mingchi just now.

Fang Ying was looking at the wound on his body with pain.

Nie Mingchi found some weeds and wood at the entrance of the cave and made a simple torch to illuminate the cave.

"Can I go?" Nie Mingchi asked Fang Ying.

"Yes." Fang Ying said, and then saw a hand reaching towards him, Fang Ying was stunned, and put the hand in Nie Mingchi's palm.

Nie Mingchi's hands are pampered, slender and fair, but there is a thin layer of calluses on them, left over from years of martial arts practice.

Holding this hand, Fang Ying felt his heart calm down.Without him, these hands give people a sense of security.But at the same time, Fang Ying only felt that a certain place in his heart was scratched by a feather, itching.

Holding the torch in one hand, Nie Mingchi led Fang Ying in the other, and walked among the caves.Fang Ying followed closely beside him.

The further you go in, the more humid the air is, without the dryness of the outermost cave entrance. When you walk to a stone hall, you can faintly hear the sound of water flowing in front of you.

"The sound of running water means there is an exit," Nie Mingchi said.

Fang Ying hummed, "Go ahead and have a look."

The two found a dark river ahead, and the flow rate was not slow.

"Can you swim?" Nie Mingchi asked.

Fang Ying nodded.

"I'll explore the way ahead, you follow me."

"it is good."

Regardless of the wounds on their bodies, the two dived into the pool.

After swimming for an unknown amount of time, the two finally emerged from the water.

"What kind of place is this?" Fang Ying wiped off the water on his cheeks and asked in amazement at the scene in front of him.

I saw a crystal clear palace appearing in front of my eyes.The palace seems to be made of crystal, exuding soft and gorgeous light.

Nie Mingchi was also surprised when he saw this scene, and then he said to the other party, "Go up and have a look."

"Ah."

The two waded ashore and stood just in front of the palace.

The palace is beautiful, Fang Ying followed Nie Mingchi and walked into the palace.The facilities in the palace are all available, and it looks like someone lived there not long ago.

But the two walked around for a long time, but they still couldn't see the owner of the palace.

Fang Ying was a little tired, and squatted down after walking, "I can't walk anymore."

Nie Mingchi looked at the wound on his body that was dizzy with water, and knelt down to treat him.

Fang Ying watched Nie Mingchi treat his wound, and his eyes fell unconsciously on his side face.

It stands to reason that Nie Mingchi's facial features are not exquisite, but they are outstanding. Coupled with his all-over temperament, he has raised his facial features several levels at once.

Especially his eyes, which look lofty and elegant, as if there are blue sky and white clouds in them, they look very relaxed.

Unknowingly, Fang Ying looked at his eyebrows and was a little lost in thought for a moment.

"What are you looking at, so engrossed?" Nie Mingchi smiled and scratched the tip of his nose.

Fang Ying's ears turned red, "No...no."

Nie Mingchi suddenly wanted to tease him, "It looks good?"

"What?" Fang Ying asked.

"Lonely facial features." Nie Mingchi smiled, "Can it still enter your eyes?"

Fang Ying's cheeks started to turn red, "What are you talking about?"

Nie Mingchi bandaged Fang Ying's last wound and stood up, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Go on."

Fang should have passed, but for some reason, he felt a little lost.

The two walked through the palace, and then came to a bridge made of ice chains.

"Why is there a bridge here?" Fang Ying asked strangely.

"I don't know," Nie Mingchi walked up to the ice bridge and tried it, and the other party waved his hand and said, "It's okay, you can go."

Fang Ying was a little afraid of heights. When he saw the abyss under the ice rope bridge, his face paled with fright, and he looked towards Nie Mingchi as if asking for help, "Can I not leave?"

When Nie Mingchi came back, he walked up to him and observed carefully. Seeing his expression of resistance, a guess slowly formed, "Are you afraid of heights?"

Fang Ying nodded hastily, "So is it okay if you don't leave?"

Nie Mingchi didn't speak.In the next second, Fang Ying felt his body lighten, and he said in surprise, "What are you doing?"

Nie Mingchi hugged the boy in his arms tightly, "You were the one who said you were afraid of heights, since that's the case, I'll hold you, and you can just look at me on the way."

"But..." Fang Ying always felt that something was weird, as for the princess hug?

Nie Mingchi seemed to see through his expression, "Then, I'll be behind your back."

Fang Ying hesitated for a while, but when he thought that he could still see the abyss on Nie Mingchi's back, he shuddered, "Let's forget it."

"That's it."

"Ah."

Fang Ying was carried by Nie Mingchi onto the ice bridge.As soon as he stepped onto the bridge, Fang Ying subconsciously hugged Nie Mingchi's neck tightly, almost screaming out.

"Don't be nervous, just look at me." Fang Yingwen raised his head from Nie Mingchi's arms, and looked at Nie Mingchi's face.

This seems to be much better.Fang Ying let out a sigh of relief when his attention was diverted.

Jian Fangying relaxed a little, and Nie Mingchi's footsteps quickened.

Fang Ying was in Nie Mingchi's arms, with his hands around his neck, and the fragrance of Nie Mingchi's body filled his nose.It was a very light magnolia fragrance, which smelled very refreshing.

Fang Yingwen has been listening for a long time, and he just feels a little dizzy.The two of them were so close that they seemed to be able to share their body temperature.

Fang Ying didn't feel anything at first, but after being hugged for a long time, he felt a little embarrassed. He thought to himself, why is this bridge so long, and he walked for a long time without seeing the end.

Fang Ying was a little bored, his gaze started from Nie Mingchi's face, then to his Adam's apple, and finally to Nie Mingchi's exposed chest.

The half-wet clothes clung to his body, and his toned chest was half-hidden, which unexpectedly seemed to have other meanings.

Suddenly hearing a chuckle from above, Fang Ying didn't dare to look any more, and quickly moved his eyes away.

"Does it look good?" Nie Mingchi asked.

Fang Ying intends to play dead and pretend he didn't hear anything.

Seeing that Fang Ying was pretending to be dead, Nie Mingchi didn't hurt him, just smiled softly and continued on his way.
