Chapter 398 - 398: Black Panther
“You’re angry?
The smile on MO Ruyue’s face also slowly disappeared. She didn’t think that this matter would be so important to Gu Ying.
Wasn’t it more important for two people to confirm their feelings for each other?
Gu Ying didn’t say anything. This was the first time he didn’t give MO Ruyue any clear response.
After realizing the seriousness of the matter, she immediately grabbed Gu Ying’s arm and forced him to turn his head to look at her.
“Gu Ying, I’m sorry. I was just influenced by this scene and told you on a whim. Please don’t be angry.”
This was the first time MO Ruyue had apologized to someone so humbly in both her previous and current lives. But if it was Gu Ying, she would not care at all.
“Bing ‘Er, I’m sorry, I was too petty.”
Gu Ying seemed to only be angry for a moment. After hearing MO Ruyue’s soft apology, he casually pulled MO Ruyue into his arms and began to apologize to her.
“Actually, I’ve hidden these words in my heart for a long time. In my previous life, I’ve been looking for countless opportunities to confess to you at the most appropriate time, but I was afraid that you wouldn’t accept it and that we would both lose the last person we could rely on for warmth.”
“I’m a coward. I gave up this opportunity myself. It’s not your fault.”
Gu Ying wasn’t angry at MO Ruyue. Instead, he was angry at himself.
There had been so many opportunities and so many choices, but he had missed them again and again. In the end, he had given this opportunity to MO Ruyue.
“You idiot!”
MO Ruyue said, both angry and amused, and casually thumped Gu Ying’s chest.
It was because of this hesitation and concern that they had missed the previous life. But fortunately, they would not miss it again in this life.
With the lonely beauty in his arms, he said all the words that he had kept in his heart for a long time. All the regrets and gloominess were swept away, and a smile gradually appeared in his eyes.
He was too rigid.
Being able to be together was more important than anything else, so why should she care who confessed first?
MO Ruyue snuggled in his arms and stole a glance at his expression. When she saw that his tense expression relaxed, she also heaved a long sigh of relief.
She changed her mind and said to Gu Ying, “Although I was the one who confessed to you first, you can’t forget about the proposal. We don’t have parents in this time and space, but we still have to have the ceremony!’
Although she was a cold-blooded killer, deep down in her heart, she still had a sense of longing.
This longing was given to her by Gu Ying. Especially after the time and space had changed, her longing had become even stronger.
“Alright, I’ll agree to everything.”
Gu Ying held MO Ruyue even tighter, and the two of them enjoyed the warmth of this moment together.
“But I remember that you’re still Lady Qin.”
A hesitant voice came from above. The two of them remembered MO Ruyue’s current identity almost at the same time.
“That’s right. I was originally planning to settle this matter after the new year, but now that the Qin Village is gone, and even the county city is destroyed, I can’t even go through the procedures to dissolve the marriage.
MO Ruyue said, feeling a headache coming on.
If she had known this would happen, she would have done this earlier.
However, she was not a half-immortal, so how could she have known earlier?
“You won’t be carrying this identity forever, will you? How am I supposed to marry you?
Gu Ying’s brows furrowed again.
“When we leave this place, we’ll go to Old Master Bai and the Xiao family. There’ll be a way. Now that there are so many casualties from the natural disaster, it’s too common to lose ones identity. It shouldn’t be a difficult thing to take advantage of this opportunity to re-do one.”
MO Ruyue could only think of this method now, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this method was not bad.
“The Bai family has been keeping a low profile, so they’re naturally not ordinary people. I think the Xiao family is more suitable.”
Hearing Gu Ying’s words, MO Ruyue thought carefully and nodded. “You’re right, the Xiao family is more suitable.”
On the surface, the Xiao family’s identity was that of a Prince with a different surname who guarded the southeast. For the Bai family to be on good terms with the Xiao family, they had to be at least a first-rank official in the Imperial Court.
Not to mention that there was another King with a different surname, the Ouyang family. In this case, the Bai family’s identity was even more extraordinary.
With such a distinguished identity, he still needed to hide his strength and bide his time, and he had obviously been hidden for a long time. There must be some secret behind this that could not be spoken.
Compared to the Bai family that was hidden in the dark, the Xiao family’s business behind the scenes was information gathering and the like. Other than having more identities as the white side than the blood tower, there was nothing more.
In this way, it wouldn’t be difficult for the Xiao family to change her and the babies’ identities, let alone find MO Ruyue’s original identity.
“Previously, the Madame of the Xiao family, Ye Youwei, came to visit Madam
Bai. Although she left early, I don’t know where she went and whether she successfully avoided this natural disaster.”
“Let’s find the way tomorrow and return to the Qin Village’s ruins. Let the babies come out and take a look, then we’ll immediately move.”
Mo Ruyue had an even more urgent thought now. She really couldn’t wait a second longer.
She had never had such pretentious thoughts. Once she had confirmed her feelings, she would definitely use the fastest speed to achieve her wish.
“Alright, I’ll listen to you,”
Gu Ying didn’t ask for anything else now. Even if MO Ruyue suddenly turned against him and asked him to die, he would be willing to die, not to mention anything else.
As night fell, this was the only fire in the entire Treasure Valley. The milky way crossed the sky, and the sea of stars was brilliant, but it was not as warm as the human world.
MO Ruyue and Gu Ying didn’t go into the space to take out ingredients to cook. Instead, they took out high-energy fast food from their backpacks and simply heated it up to eat.
The night wind was extremely cold, but the two of them who were snuggling up to each other could not feel it at all.
“Gu Ying…”
MO Ruyue was about to speak, but the two’s expressions changed at the same time, and they took a defensive stance at the same time.
The howling night wind was mixed with an almost undetectable stench of blood, and there were almost no footsteps that were quickly approaching.
“A wild beast?”
The two of them looked at each other. Judging from the smell and the frequency of their footsteps, they were not humans. Could it be that some beast that was lucky enough to escape the natural disaster had smelled the scent of humans and came to hunt?
Whether it was a beast or a human, even if they could easily win, they would not let their guard down.
There was only one fire in the entire valley, and the light of the stars was not enough to light up the entire valley.
After being transformed by the spirit spring water, the darkness was no longer an obstacle to their vision. The surrounding scenery was clearly visible to them, and only the black fog formed by the floccules could not be penetrated by their vision.
A blurry black shadow suddenly appeared on the cliff in the distance. It stood on the edge of the cliff and hesitated for a moment, as if it was looking in their direction. Then, it suddenly jumped down.
The black shadow stepped on the rocks and trees on the cliff and leaped down. Every step was extremely accurate. It didn’t take much effort to reach the bottom of the valley from the top.
The more MO Ruyue looked at the figure running wildly, the more familiar he
It was a black leopard that was almost twice the size of a normal leopard. When it ran, it was like a black lightning bolt, and it pounced in front of her almost in an instant.
Of course, MO Ruyue and the other person would not be pounced on by the black panther. In fact, they did not even move..
