Chapter 1222 The Past and Wine (2/2)

She sat down on the edge of the cliff, swinging her legs back and forth.

Zhou Yuan sat down next to her and couldn't help smiling. He knew Yaoyao very well. She was extremely cold and detached, as though she wasn’t too concerned about anything in the world.

He didn't quite understand the source of her emotions before, but after learning Yaoyao's identity, he began to understand.

As the Third God, she was one of the most noble existences in the world, so it understandable that mortals couldn’t arouse her concern.

The fact that she asked to listen to Zhou Yuan’s experience and expressed interests in his story already showed that she had different feelings for him.

Zhou Yuan could feel that he was in Yaoyao’s heart.

Yaoyao swept a glance at Zhou Yuan and then fumbled in her pockets, but she then turned a little annoyed.

Zhou Yuan knew what she had in mind and immediately took out an azure gourd from his spatial bag. He shook it lightly, saying, ”This is the best wine I brought from the Tianyuan Region.”

Yaoyao's eyes lit up. She took the gourd, opened the lid, and took a light whiff. “Not bad, it seems your eyes have become better after being beat up for many years.”

Zhou Yuan could only mumble angrily in response to her ridicule, “You’re a wine god.”

Then, he took a deep breath and began to recount his experiences over the years.

He first came to Hunyuan Heaven, then joined the Tianyuan Region and participated in the nine regions tournament to win the Ancestral Dragon Lantern…After that he traveled to Guyuan Heaven to obtain the Ancestral Dragon Flesh.

He told Yaoyao everything one by one.

The setting sun cast a beautiful glow on Yaoyao as she drank the wine from the gourd. Her clear and ethereal-looking eyes seemed to be glistening, reflecting the multicolored sunlight, and a wisp of soft light seemed to be condensing in the depths of her eyes.

She clearly knew how hard the idiot beside her had worked to awaken her.

He tread on the edge of the knife again and again and he repeatedly encountered powerful enemies but he still persisted.

While she was in deep sleep, she could perceive Zhou Yuan was protecting her even at the risk of his life. She knew Zhou Yuan refused to retreat even in the face of Zhao Xiansun and other powerful enemies.

Many emotions dripped into her heart like drops of water, making the calm surface of her lake-like heart ripple constantly. The ripples eventually spread to the depths of her heart and brought a long aftertaste.

Zhou Yuan, who was slowly telling his stories, suddenly felt a slight cold feeling in his palm. He tilted his head slightly and saw a little hand gently squeezed into his grip and five slender fingers tightly held his hand.

Zhou Yuan looked surprised at Yaoyao, who immediately turned her head away from him. He didn’t know whether it was an illusion, but he saw Yaoyao's eyes were red.

But when Yaoyao turned her head away, he saw her perfect side profile.

“You’ve done quite well,” she chuckled.

Zhou Yuan scratched his head.

But before he said anything, Yaoyao gently leaned her cheeks on his shoulders and gazed at the sunset glow in the distant sky. When she slowly closed her eyes, Zhou Yuan seemed to hear a whisper, “No one can bully you in the future.”

Zhou Yuan didn't hear her clearly. He just hesitatingly stretched out his arm and wrapped around Yaoyao’s shoulders.

The two cuddled together under the sunset glow, their backs connected as if they were one.

Zhou Yuan hoped that time would freeze at that moment.

That scene would stay in his heart foreve
