Shen Li didn't know how long he had slept, he opened his eyes in a daze, and Qi Changzhao's rarely tired and anxious look was reflected above his head.Shen Li smiled silently, just about to stand up, but felt that his whole body was still very weak, and fell back to the original place weakly.

"...don't move around," Qi Changzhao asked in a low voice, holding his arm tightly, "how do you feel?"

Shen Li was dizzy, frowned and whispered: "I'm so tired..."

"Half a quarter later, your spiritual power will be exhausted, can you not be tired?" Qi Changzhao said angrily, took out the water bottle from the spirit storage ring, lifted his neck to feed him water.

Shen Li didn't answer, and took a few sips of Qi Changzhao's hand obediently.The cold and clear spring water moistened his dry throat, and his consciousness gradually came to him.

He fell back on Qi Changzhao's lap, only to realize that they were still in the ruined temple.

It was bright outside, the fire had been extinguished long ago, and He Ning and Shen Mo had gone to nowhere, and there were only two of them left in the empty ruined temple.

"That incense burner..."

Qi Changzhao pointed to his side: "It's still there, don't worry."

Shen Li turned his head and saw the incense burner not far away, and his voice was weak: "What is this thing..."

"This object contains spiritual power, and it is an extremely rare magic weapon." Qi Changzhao said, "What we encounter in the illusion should be the wraith attached to this magic weapon."

"The resentful spirit..." Shen Li thought of the past memories he saw in the illusion again, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but he didn't say too much, he just said, "When we go back, find an eminent monk to save the resentful spirit."

Qi Changzhao responded softly, stretched out his hand to help him press his temple, and the gentle spiritual power soaked into his body through his fingertips, relieving the fatigue and exhaustion all over his body.

His hands were extraordinarily cold, and Shen Li closed his eyes to enjoy Tian Yu's massage service for a while, before he realized something: "Are you injured?"

Qi Changzhao paused, and said softly, "No problem, just a little injury."

"How could it be a small injury?"

Injuries to the soul are different from ordinary flesh and blood injuries, and they will often hurt the cultivation base, not to mention Qi Changzhao lost so much blood in the illusion.Shen Li struggled to sit up: "Come here, I'll show you..."

"Okay, don't move around." Qi Changzhao pressed him to keep him from moving, and said helplessly, "I'm really fine, I can adjust my breath on my own for that small injury... It's better than you can't even stand up now, first Take care of yourself."

Shen Li was at a loss for words, but he was so out of strength in his hands and feet now that the opponent's arm was horizontal, which really crushed him so that he couldn't move.

He glared at Qi Changzhao angrily, and muttered, "I'm worried about you, you don't know good people..."

Qi Changzhao's eyes moved slightly, he bent down, and asked softly, "A Li, are you worried about me?"

Shen Li's expression froze and he didn't answer.

Qi Changzhao traced his facial features lightly with his fingers, and said in a very soft voice, "Don't you hate me very much, why are you so worried about me now?"

"..." Shen Li looked away awkwardly, the blush at the base of the ears was more obvious against the pale face.

Qi Changzhao didn't pierce, and got closer: "Speak, are you treating me..."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Li interrupted hastily: "By the way, why did elder brother and He Ning disappear, where did they go?"

Qi Changzhao: "..."

He changed the subject too bluntly, Qi Changzhao shook his head with a smile, sat up straight, and stopped teasing him: "You slept all night after your soul returned to your body, they just left not long ago, they said they were afraid you would wake up I'm going to be hungry, go find something to eat."

Shen Li said "Oh", and pretended to blame: "You said that he and Ning Tangtang, a princess, were trapped in an illusion yesterday and almost couldn't get out, so why are you always ordering them around?"

"She insisted on going."

"Ok?"

Qi Changzhao said: "I have to take care of you and you can't get away. Shen Shizi originally wanted to find food by himself, but He Ning was worried that he would not have the power to restrain a chicken and would encounter danger in the mountains, so he insisted on following."

Shen Li blinked, and got some other meanings from it: "He Ning... it seems that she is really going to be my sister-in-law?"

"They were already engaged."

"What's the matter with the marriage contract? They didn't like each other before, and they could quarrel eight hundred times a day." Shen Li found it interesting, and smiled softly, "But it's true, if I know that the little lover from the previous life is back by my side, I'm sure it's hard not to be affected."

Qi Changzhao's expression froze, and his voice subconsciously softened: "If it were you...what would happen?"

"Me?" Shen Li tilted his head and thought for a while, then smiled nonchalantly, "Maybe we will continue the relationship, of course, it depends on whether the other party suits me in this life. In case the appearance is too ugly after reincarnation, Then it won't work."

Qi Changzhao was startled, subconsciously touched his face, and suddenly asked: "Then what do you think of my appearance?"

Shen Li yawned, didn't notice the weirdness in Qi Changzhao's words, rubbed his eyes and said sleepily: "You look good, you are the most beautiful person I have ever seen."

"The prettiest?" Qi Changzhao frowned indistinctly, and asked, "better than everyone you've ever seen?"

Shen Li let out a "huh", another face suddenly appeared in his mind.

They were clearly two completely different faces, but their temperaments and personalities were extremely similar. Shen Li thought for a long time, but couldn't compare which of these two people was better looking.

He thought for a while, and from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Qi Changzhao's extremely caring appearance, and secretly smiled at the majestic King Tianyu, who cared so much about his appearance, so he smiled accommodatingly: "Of course, you are the prettiest."

But Qi Changzhao was not happy when he heard these words, the light in his eyes dimmed a little, and some inexplicable feelings emerged in his heart.

This face is the prettiest, isn't it good-looking in previous life?

Qi Changzhao was silent for a moment, then asked tentatively: "Then... who is the second most beautiful?"

"Second?" Shen Li didn't know why he was obsessed with this question, thinking that he was dissatisfied with his hesitation just now, and shook his head solemnly, "There is no second best-looking, but you are the best."

Qi Changzhao: "..."

He wanted to ask again, but Shen Li had already yawned sleepily again, and mist appeared in his eyes.

If you lose too much spiritual power, you can only rest slowly. The most obvious effect is that you will be sleepy and sleepy for a long time.

Shen Li relaxed his body, changed to a more comfortable position and lay on Qi Changzhao's lap, closed his eyes and whispered: "However, there is no such a coincidence, and I didn't have any little lovers in my previous life. A bunch of people who wanted me The enemy of life is almost..."

When Shen Li said this, his voice quickly weakened, and the last few words were so soft that they were like talking in sleep, as if he had fallen asleep.Sunshine came in through the dilapidated roof, and Shen Li was unbearably disturbed by the dazzling light. He turned over, wrapped his arms tightly around Qi Changzhao's waist, and buried his head in his arms.

Qi Changzhao's body suddenly became stiff.

But Shen Li seemed very satisfied with this posture, he mumbled something, and rubbed his head restlessly.

Qi Changzhao: "..."

Although it was already summer, the mountain was still slightly cool in the morning, but Qi Changzhao felt that the temperature inside the ruined temple was gradually rising.He straightened his back unconsciously, and when he spoke again, his voice trembled indistinctly: "Ah, Ah Li..."

Shen Li was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, let alone how wrong their posture was, so he asked impatiently: "What's wrong?"

Qi Changzhao opened and closed his lips, but he didn't know how to speak, so he reached out and gently pushed Shen Li's shoulder: "Get up first..."

"Don't bother me." Shen Li slapped his hand away, and hugged Qi Changzhao's arms, "I'm so sleepy, Your Majesty, let me sleep again, just for a while..."

Qi Changzhao felt all the blood in his body go straight to his brain, and the fingers on Shen Li's shoulder subconsciously tightened, even the roots of his ears turned red: "No, no, don't move, don't—"

Shen Li couldn't bear it and raised his head to stare at him.

If Shen Li was still conscious, he would naturally be able to sense something strange from Qi Changzhao's expression.But he was really sleepy right now.His chaotic thoughts prevented him from even seeing the other person's appearance clearly. His eyes, which were moist and red due to sleepiness, raised up blankly, with confusion and complaints in them, and narrowed impatiently.

Qi Changzhao's breathing suddenly sank a bit, he stared stiffly at the person in his arms for a long time, and tried his best to tighten the string called reason in his mind.

No, he almost exhausted his spiritual power last night, if he does something to him now, this person will definitely not be able to bear it.

Qi Changzhao said to himself solemnly in his heart, his knuckles were a little white due to excessive tension.

But Shen Li didn't understand his mood at all.

The next second, he suddenly took the other's tight hand, put it on his lips and kissed it.

Qi Changzhao: "!"

There was a warm and soft touch from the fingertips, as if an electric current rushed in from the junction of the skin, and the numbness and itchiness spread along the meridians of the whole body, crackling like fire, spreading to the brain layer by layer.

Shen Li let go of his hand, closed his eyes and said softly: "Satisfied now? I said you are the prettiest, don't be angry, okay, let me sleep..."

"..."

Qi Changzhao took a deep breath, resisting the urge to execute this person on the spot, leaned down and kissed Shen Li's forehead, gritted his teeth and said softly, "You wait for me."

Shen Li, who fell into sleep, muttered something, then pushed himself into Qi Changzhao's arms again, and finally stopped moving.

In the following day, Shen Li's consciousness was always half asleep, and occasionally Qi Changzhao woke him up to give him some water and something to eat, and soon pestered him to sleep.The few people didn't waste any more time, Qi Changzhao carried Shen Li, He Ning carried Shen Mo, and directly returned to Xiangguo Mansion with Yujian.

When Shen Li woke up again, he was already lying back in the bedroom of Xiangguo Mansion.

There was no one else in the room, Shen Li sat up rubbing his groaning stomach, thinking about whether to go find something to eat, when there were soft footsteps outside the door.

Shen Li opened the door first before the other knocked, but it was not Qi Changzhao.

Shen Mo held a food box and looked him up and down: "Are you okay?"

Shen Li turned to let him in, and said with a smile, "Why did elder brother do such a thing in person?"

"Immortal Master Ji Yun asked me to come." Shen Mo said, "He said you should wake up by now, and asked me to bring you some food."

It wasn't the first time Qi Changzhao did this kind of thing, Shen Li was not surprised, he just asked: "What did he do?"

Shen Mo: "The censer you found in Lingwu Mountain is full of resentment. He needs to work with a few mages to exorcise the resentful spirit in the magic vessel, and he can't leave for the time being."

Shen Li picked up a piece of soft and glutinous osmanthus cake, ate it in small bites, and answered with a "huh".

The two sat down at the table, Shen Li was too busy eating and saying nothing.Shen Mo stared at him for a while, then said in a low voice after a long time: "You and Immortal Ji Yun grow up..."

Shen Li interrupted him without thinking: "I've said it all, we have nothing to do, we are just ordinary friends, brother, don't get me wrong."

Shen Mo: "..."

Shen Mo withdrew his gaze expressionlessly: "On the way back, he feeds you when you wake up, and you hug him when you sleep, but you have nothing to do with each other, you are just ordinary friends, I understand."

"Cough cough cough..." Shen Li was choked to death by the dim sum.

He took a big sip of water and explained falteringly: "Well, we actually..."

"You don't need to explain." There was a trace of embarrassment in Shen Mo's expression, he hesitated again, and said, "Actually, I saw you outside the ruined temple that night."

Shen Li: "..."

"That can't be my fault!" Shen Mo blushed, "He Ning was afraid and forced me to go out and have a look. Who told you to do it... You don't even know to change to a hidden place when you do that kind of thing. I saw it as soon as I went out!"

Shen Li fell silent.

"A Li, I know that I have no position to interfere with you." Shen Mo rubbed his face and said seriously, "I didn't know about the marriage contract with Lord Tianyu until my father sent you to Baiyujing. Only then did I realize that I was actually supposed to be sent to Bai Yujing, and you suffered this crime for me."

"This matter is very unfair to you. If it were me, maybe I would make the same decision as you." He smiled wryly and shook his head, "Of course, I don't have such a high level of cultivation as you, so I'm afraid the outcome might not be as good as yours." .”

Shen Li blinked and called out: "That, brother..."

"Listen to me." Shen Mo interrupted him, "Anyway, I see that you are doing well now, and this is enough. You have been unhappy in the Hou Mansion since you were a child. I really want to help you, but Parents' orders cannot be disobeyed, as an elder brother, I can do very little."

"If one day, the king of Tianyu really sent down a punishment, if he wanted to be killed or cut to pieces, then I should be the one who bears the responsibility."

"...No one wants you to take the blame." Qi Changzhao's voice sounded from outside the door, and he leaned against the door, snorting coldly with unknown meaning.

Shen Mo was startled, and asked in a low voice, "How much have you heard?"

Qi Changzhao: "Start with sending it to Bai Yujing."

Shen Mo: "..."

Shen Mo's face was cloudy and uncertain, he squeezed the fan bone in his palm, and after a while he finally made up his mind, raised his head and said seriously to Qi Changzhao: "You heard right, Ah Li is my younger brother and the youngest son of Marquis Yongding of Tianyu, She is also the imperial concubine of King Tianyu."

He paused for a moment, and said solemnly: "But don't be afraid, since he likes you and you treat him sincerely, I can hand him over to you. But you must promise me, and you will never be sorry after that He, you can't bully him, or this son will not spare you."

"..." Shen Li pressed the center of his eyebrows with a headache.

There was a hint of a smile in Qi Changzhao's eyes, and he looked past Shen Mo to look at Shen Li: "Ai Concubine, did you hear that, your brother handed you over to me."

Shen Li was silent and didn't answer, Shen Mo looked at Qi Changzhao, then looked back at Shen Li, and after a while he said blankly: "... huh?"
