Caressing the jade carving, she asked, "Is it really obtained from that entrance?"
Ji Yeliu replied, "I've interrogated carefully. The route is clear."
He's still alive... Just thinking about this, Song Jinyu felt hopeful. But for now, Zhongli Mingye might have really entered the paradise.
This object was regarded as a treasure by him and always hung around his neck. How did it fall off? Presumably, he was seriously injured.
Before the expedition, he whispered in Song Jinyu's ear, "Wait for this king to come back..." Now, only the jade carving was seen, but not the person.
"Thank you, General Ji!" Although he looked almost the same as Yan Fei, he wasn't Yan Fei.
Song Jinyu was polite and distant. Ji Yeliu understood. But because of those dreams, he was willing to be kind to her.
"If the princess doesn't mind, I'd like to accompany you to explore the paradise."
Raising her eyebrows to look at him, Rong Shuang'er was also very puzzled. Clearly, Ji Yeliu and Song Jinyu had no intersection. Why was he so concerned about Song Jinyu's affairs?
Sighing, Song Jinyu said, "Chengzhou has just been conquered. General, you'd better focus your energy here."
"I've already made proper arrangements. Now, finding Prince Yu is also a great achievement." Ji Yeliu didn't know what was wrong with himself.
Every time he met Princess Yu, he always wanted to get close to her.
Pressing his chest, he smiled bitterly and said, "Sure enough, the twins' hearts are connected."
Holding the Xicui pearl chain tightly, Song Jinyu stepped into the paradise again. The farmer who sold the chain in the pawnshop found it at this entrance.
"Two years have passed..."
Niaoniao and Micui knew what she was talking about. To find the Yin grass for their master, Song Jinyu and Yan Fei once entered the paradise.
Now, coming here again was to find Prince Yu.
Fate was really wonderful. In the past, Zhongli Mingye always said that it would be great if he was the one who accompanied her into the paradise at that time.
Now, Zhongli Mingye could be said to have fulfilled his wish.
"Mingye, where on earth are you?"
"Do you know how tired I am now?" Song Jinyu looked sad. Her mood suddenly became low. Seeing this, Ji Yeliu felt a little heart - ache. "Princess, don't worry. His Highness is a lucky man." Ming Ruyi glanced at Ji Yeliu.
"Princess, be careful..." Ji Yeliu reminded. Song Jinyu was in a daze, as if Yan Fei had come back to life. Niaoniao beside her also looked unusual.
Micui pulled Niaoniao and said, "He's not Young Master Yan Fei!"
Ming Ruyi's face darkened. He quietly stepped forward and squeezed Ji Yeliu to the back. Shaking his folding fan, he said, "General Ji, you should flatter in the right way."
Everyone looked at each other in dismay. Song Jinyu had no choice but to hold the Xicui pearl chain tightly and stride forward.
Since they had been here before, it was easier for everyone this time. When they met the "strange man", they were not flustered. But when the strange man saw Song Jinyu again,
he actually took a few steps back. "You... you..." He was inexplicably flustered. He was really unlucky. He was seriously injured by someone a few days ago.
Today, hearing the noise, he wanted to take advantage. Unexpectedly, it was them again!
The strange man quickly retreated. Song Jinyu wanted to catch him. However, the man was extremely cunning and actually alerted the snake formation in the paradise.
There was a rustling sound.
Everyone was on high alert. Many "strange snakes" appeared. Rong Shuang'er had never seen such a strange situation and screamed continuously. Ming Ruyi grabbed her and took a few steps back. "What a country bumpkin!"
Ji Yeliu quickly stepped forward and killed several snakes. But it seemed to make the snakes even angrier, and more and more of them came out.
Looking at Song Jinyu again, she was even calmer. She told Niaoniao to sprinkle a circle of realgar. The strange snakes bypassed it. "Snakes are afraid of realgar."
"No matter how strange the snakes are, they are still snakes!" These little snakes were more terrifying than the ordinary ones, because there was an extra eye and two horns on their foreheads.
They were neither dragons nor snakes.
Ji Yeliu said, "Could they be divine beasts?"
Song Jinyu shook her head. "The real divine beasts actually don't harm people... Although they are all divine beasts in legends."
"These snakes have a fierce look in their eyes. Almost no grass grows where they pass. Presumably, they are not divine beasts. Everyone should be careful!"
Just being scolded by Ming Ruyi, the joy in Rong Shuang'er's heart because of his care was suppressed again.
"Jinyu... You seem to know a lot!" Ming Ruyi shook his folding fan, looked at Song Jinyu and then at Ji Yeliu, and decided to follow them closely.
Unfortunately, neither Niaoniao nor Micui gave them a chance. They protected Song Jinyu on the left and right respectively.
Come on! The prince was not here, and no other man could get close to her.
Song Jinyu was extremely intelligent and naturally understood the thoughts of these two maids. So she became even more vigilant. The strange man suddenly appeared and then suddenly left.
Maybe he was plotting something.
Continuing to move forward, there was a familiar jungle again.
Ji Yeliu walked in front of Song Jinyu and the others. Looking at the familiar back, Song Jinyu couldn't describe the feeling in her heart. It was the same last time. Yan Fei always protected her and rushed forward whenever there was any danger.
Ming Ruyi walked at the back. In front of him was Rong Shuang'er.
His eyes passed through the jungle and landed on Song Jinyu. That petite body contained great energy. These days, although she was on the verge of collapse and sad, she never gave up or slacked off. She had a clear mind and a tight logic.
No wonder Zhongli Mingye loved her so much. Maybe that man didn't just love her beauty, but also her wisdom, intelligence, sobriety and kindness.
"Princess..." Zhong Yuanliu came to report. "There's an open space ahead..."
"Don't be careless! There are blood - sucking bats everywhere here, unless we reach the paradise."
"Yes!"
The sun was getting stronger and stronger. Fortunately, the jungle was dense. The sunlight penetrated the leaves and dispelled the cold in the forest.
Song Jinyu faintly felt that the paradise seemed to have changed its appearance. Maybe the ancient sages had set up countless mechanisms. Since they broke in last time, many things had naturally changed.
No matter how dangerous the road ahead was, she must insist on seeing Mingye.
Sure enough, as if fulfilling her conjecture, Ji Yeliu accidentally stepped into a mud pit in front.
Niaoniao was quick - eyed and quick - handed. She stepped forward to grab him. However, the sinking speed was too fast. Ming Ruyi, Qing Feng and Zhong Yuanliu all reached out to help.
Song Jinyu found a rope and handed it to them.
After several people pulled, Ji Yeliu finally got out of the mud pit.
"I never thought that there would be such a danger here after two years!" She never expected that because of their previous break - in and Zhongli Mingye's accidental entry, the "strange man" had activated the millennium - old mechanism technique of the paradise.
Therefore, their crisis was more serious than before this time.
Now, she was afraid that the "strange man" had some tricks up his sleeve. Song Jinyu noticed the changes in the paradise, so she was even more cautious.
She repeatedly told Zhong Yuanliu and the people from Tianyan Sect.
Now, Ming Ruyi also put away his joking attitude. His eyes were tightly fixed on Song Jinyu. Unexpectedly, the woman told him, "Your Highness, please take good care of Miss Rong."
