Shen Li woke up in the turbulence. She saw scenes constantly flowing in front of her eyes. She could smell the grass and wind at the tip of her nose. Shen Li thought, is it her vision and sense of smell that have been restored today... But, has Fu Sheng come up with another way to torture her? The illusion in front of her was just like the outside world, so vivid and free that she couldn't help but yearn for it.

She had only been imprisoned for a short time, but to Shen Li, these scenes were like things from her previous life. She moved her fingertips and wanted to reach out her hand to reminisce the feeling of the wind passing through her fingertips.

The scene around her suddenly stopped. Shen Li saw that she was now in a forest. A face that suppressed surprise appeared in her sight - Mofang. It turned out that this was not an illusion. It was Mofang who saved her... Why? After betraying the Immortal Realm world, did he betray Fu Sheng again?

The corners of his lips trembled, as if he was saying something, but Shen Li couldn't hear anything at this time, and she couldn't speak. She just shook her head and pushed the man away with a little force. The black iron nail on her wrist had not been removed yet, and it was this slight force that made Shen Li almost lose her breath. She couldn't feel the pain today, but her body still spasmed by itself.

Mofang hurriedly put her down, let her sit against the tree, then knelt on his knees, silently bowed his head in front of her, as if confessing his guilt, and as if apologizing.

Shen Li closed her eyes and pretended not to see anything.

Even if Shen Li could speak today, she would react the same way as now, because she had nothing to say to Mofang. Those generals in the Immortal Realm world, those corpses placed in the coffin with his clothes and broken swords had already drawn a clear enemy-friend boundary between the two. In Shen Li's heart, the brother who marched and fought with her and lived and died together had killed herself with his own hands. This was the result he wanted, and Shen Li respected the result of his choice.

The one kneeling in front of her was an enemy who had invaded the territory of the Immortal Realm clan, slaughtered the people of the Immortal Realm clan, and killed the generals of the Immortal Realm clan.

If she had a gun in her hand, she would fight him.

Mofang knelt for a long time. He originally planned not to get up before Shen Li called him, but the slight vibration from the ground made Mofang's face solemn. He knew that he could not delay any longer. If he did not leave at this time, he was afraid that he would not be able to help Shen Li escape. He kowtowed hard: "Your Majesty, I am offended." He stood up, embraced Shen Li, and continued to walk forward.

Passing through the clumps of trees and the last row of trees, there was a white stone beach outside. Mofang put Shen Li next to two huge rocks on the beach and let her sit against the rocks. Maybe he had something to say, but the ground was shaking more and more obviously. Mofang just gritted his teeth secretly, picked up a stone, twisted a spell, and transformed the stone into the appearance of Shen Li. He held it in his arms, turned around, and ran to the other side without looking back.

Shen Li slowly opened her eyes at this time. She did not look at the direction where Mofang left. She just looked at the clouds in the sky, and felt the wind from the sea. Her eyeswere slightly dark. The sky was getting darker and darker. The rosy clouds at the junction of the sea and the sky turned like a dream. Shen Li squinted her eyes slightly, and she became more and more sleepy.

The stars changed, the sun rose, and the first ray of sunlight over the sea quietly fell on Shen Li's face. She was motionless and slept very deeply. There was a slow sound of footsteps on the beach, making the sand creak. A figure walked around the boulder. His shadow was stretched long by the sun and passed across Shen Li's face. He walked a few steps to the beach, and suddenly his body paused. He turned around and saw the sleeping figure trapped between two stones.

Xingzhi stood there blankly, unable to move forward for a while, for fear that if he moved, the phantom would disappear.

It was not until Shen Li coughed twice in her dream and the air that was shaken by her movements swayed in front of him that he realized that it was not an illusion, but the living Shen Li.

He stepped forward, his steps were slightly hurried, and he stepped on the hem of his clothes and almost fell.

However, when he was about to reach Shen Li, he slowed down his pace and half-knelt in front of her: "Shen Li." He stretched out his hand and touched her cheek with his fingertips. The scorching hot skin burned the pain from his fingertips all the way to the tip of his heart. He did not let go, but put his whole palm on it, holding her cheek and stroking it gently, "Shen Li." He called her softly, as if he had forgotten all other words except her name.

This is Shen Li, the prince of the Immortal Realm world who had "died in battle", the woman who would never come back, is the living Shen Li!

The burning pain spread, but Xingzhi was happy about the pain. He breathed quickly and gently pressed his forehead against Shen Li's forehead. Her body temperature was so hot that Xingzhi wanted to let go immediately, but Xingzhi laughed. He pressed Shen Li's head into his arms as if he was in a state of confusion. He smiled softly in the almost burning temperature: "You saved my life." He whispered softly in her ear.

But after a while, Shen Li did not wake up. Her breath was very weak. Xingzhi loosened her slightly and wanted to take her pulse. When his eyes fell on her wrist, he saw the black iron that still penetrated her bones. Xingzhi was stunned and did not react for a while. When he understood, Xingzhi's breathing paused slightly, and his eyes scanned her limbs in a daze. When he saw that her limbs were all like this, Xingzhi's breathing stagnated for a long time, and his face turned slightly pale: "How are you...taking care of yourself..."

He lowered his head and looked at Shen Li's hand. He was a little afraid to touch it, but how could he understand her injuries without touching it.

Xingzhi's eyelids drooped slightly, and his fingertips lightly touched the palm of her limp hand on the ground. However, with a light touch, Shen Li's hand subconsciously spasmed, pulling the bones. The black iron and her bones only rubbed slightly. Shen Li groaned in her throat, and her clenched teeth and frowned brows told of her pain. Xingzhi's heart tightened, and white cold air condensed in his palm, circling around Shen Li's wrist. The expression on Shen Li's face immediately eased a lot.

She almost never cried out in pain in front of others. If she wasn't in her sleep, she might not have shown such a performance at all.

Xingzhi was angry and really wanted to teach Shen Li a lesson. This Lord Bicang was always too strong. However, when he saw Shen Li continued to sleep soundly after such pain, as if she was used to it, he couldn't get angry at all. He only felt his heart shrink, and the blood squeezed the pain in his heart to his limbs, making him unable to control the trembling arc of his fingers for a while.

During this period, she must have been extremely sad. Because no one could protect her, she had to be strong.

"... I will protect you." He said softly, and his hand that stroked Shen Li's cheek was very gentle, but his voice was firm and unquestionable. "No matter how the sky falls and the three realms are destroyed in the future, I will protect you..." As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt the person in his arms breathing heavily. She turned her head and woke up.

Shen Li's eyes were dark and she couldn't see anything. There was no sound in her ears, but her sense of touch told her that there was someone in front of her. Her sense of smell smelled a strong smell of the sea on that person: "I can walk by myself." She said coldly, "Today, you and I are strangers. If we meet on the battlefield next time, Shen Li will not show mercy to you. You either kill me today or leave."

The person on the other side did not answer. Of course, even if the other party answered, she would not be able to hear it today. But the person in front of her did not move, but Shen Li could feel it.

The cold fingers gently touched her eyes. Shen Li frowned and turned her head to avoid it. But the hand pinched her ear again. Shen Li was slightly angry and wanted to raise her hand to open it, but when her arm moved, she felt a piercing pain. Her face turned even paler. She gritted her teeth and endured the pain. She finally felt that the hand let her go. Shen Li forbearingly said: "Mofang, if you still remember the past feelings in your heart, then go."

Shen Li had a strong sense of self-esteem. She let Mofang leave at this time, seven points because of the enemy position, and three points because of self-esteem and pride.

Her five senses disappeared one by one, and she could not move. She even needed someone to help her raise her hands to walk. She didn't want others to see the embarrassed Lord BiCang from the bottom of her heart.

The man opposite was silent for a long time, and then stretched out his hand to hold her neck. Shen Li was startled. Before she could react to what he was going to do, his other hand held her knees. The man exerted force and actually held her horizontally. The black iron on his hands and feet rubbed against his bones while he walked, but Shen Li was more frightened by this hugging posture.

She and Mofang had also been on the battlefield many times, and there were times when she was injured. When she was inconvenient to move, Mofang also helped her, but he either helped, carried her on his back, or even carried her on his shoulders, but he had never tried this posture. This posture... She had only seen a general in the army holding his wife into the bridal chamber like this when he got married.

Therefore, she was somewhat resistant to this posture. Being hugged like this, she felt like... like being treated as one of those young wives, which made her feel awkward.

Shen Li was furious, and she used up the last bit of energy in her body to scold: "How dare you! Let me go!"

The man ignored her, and Shen Li realized that something was wrong. When had Mofang done this to her? Even after betraying her, he came to save her and treated her with respect. When he left yesterday, he kowtowed in front of her. How could he become so dissolute in just one day!

Shen Li couldn't help but have a very ominous thought in her heart. The place where Mofang put her was the seaside. There might be some human villages and towns nearby. The guy who touched and hugged her today, could it be some rough human fisherman from a mountain village?

Shen Li smelled a strong smell of the sea on this person, and she became more determined in her thoughts, and then her face became even uglier. Now that he was holding her horizontally like this, was he planning to do something he shouldn't do by carrying her like the general holding his wife! The more Shen Li thought about it, the more anxious she became. She tried her best, raised her elbow, and hit the fisherman's throat hard.

The fisherman paused, and Shen Li struggled to escape from his arms. However, before she could escape, the pain in her limbs made her spasm all over. She could bear it, but her body had already been overloaded. She kept shaking, and suddenly felt that she had been changed into a different position.

The man seemed to have found a place to sit down, let her sit in his arms, and then held her waist with one hand and patted her back gently with the other. It was like a caress of pity, and it seemed to tell her, it's okay, I won't hurt you, I will protect you.

But the trembling from the fisherman's fingertips... made her feel that the fisherman himself was also enduring a huge...
