The next morning, the team left the Huaxian Station and continued to move eastward.

She slept with Pei Yan at night and spent the whole day in the carriage during the day. With such day and night together, Tao Ti could still control her image for the first three days. When she arrived later, she gradually let herself go and became lazy and became a salted fish.

Anyway, no matter what she does, Pei Yan always looks tolerant and gentle, with a very good temper.

The day before the arrival of Luoyang, a heavy rain suddenly broke out halfway.

When the rain came, Tao Ti was sleeping in the carriage. Suddenly, a thunder striking, which scared her to death.

Pei Yan had just closed the car window, but when he turned around, he saw the little girl holding a soft pillow. Her hair was a little messy, her eyes were straight, and she looked confused and innocent, outside of her condition.

"It's raining outside." He leaned down and said in a gentle tone, "I was scared by the thunder?"

Tao Ti blinked in a daze, saw her stupid look through his dark eyes, and nodded obediently, "I woke up from scare."

The thunder just now was too loud, as if it was directly exploded on the roof of the carriage.

Pei Yan raised his hand and rubbed her hair, comforting him, "It's okay, it's just thunder. The carriage is equipped with a lightning protection device to ensure safety..."

"Your Highness, don't worry about me. I'm not afraid of thunder. I was just woken up by scare just now." Tao Ti curled her eyes and smiled at him.

It was probably from the night of Huaxian Station that Pei Yan had developed the habit of rubbing her head for some reason. At first she was a little unaccustomed to it, but gradually she got used to it, and even... she really liked this intimate little move?

She attributed this love to her remaining animal nature. Although the beast bodies of their Taotie tribe seem to be a bit scary to humans, the divine beasts are also beasts, and their subconscious minds like to be touched and caressed.

The thunder outside was still ringing. Pei Yan stared at her. Seeing that she was really not afraid, she curled her lips gently, "I didn't expect you to be quite brave."

Tao Ti raised her chin, her tone of smugness, "Of course."

Just kidding, she is a divine beast. She is so embarrassing to be afraid that the thunder will spread. How can she stay in the Three Realms in the future?

As the two of them talked, the carriage slowly stopped, and then there were three rhythmic sounds of door-blocking sounds outside.

Pei Yan calmed his expression and said coldly, "What's the matter?"

A sound of flattening came from outside the door, "Your Highness, the rain is too heavy, and I can't move forward. The spy just now reported that a section of the earth slope collapsed in front of him, blocking the road."

Pei Yan pondered for a moment and said indifferently, "Can there be a place to stay nearby?"

Zhan Ping replied, "There is a mountain temple five miles ahead, so you can take shelter from the rain for a while."

Pei Yan said, "First go to the mountain temple to shelter from the rain. Then send a team of people to clear the roadblocks ahead, wait for the rain to take a break before making arrangements."

Zhan Ping responded and went on to make arrangements.

The raindrops as big as beans were crackling and pounding the carriage, and the big beads fell like jade plates, making them a little noisy.

Pei Yan sat upright, looked at the quiet little girl beside him, and said softly, "Let's go to the front to shelter from the rain first... If the rain cannot stop, you may spend the night in the temple tonight. The situation is special, so you can bear it and wait until you arrive at the Luoyang Palace tomorrow."

Tao Ti looked up at him and said softly, "It doesn't matter if you live in the temple. Your Highness, you can live, I can live, I am not that spoiled."

Pei Yan's black eyes moved slightly, and he nodded and smiled, "Well, that's good."

The carriage turned around and soon arrived at a slightly dilapidated mountain temple.

The temple was covered with spider webs, the statues of the mountain gods worshipped in the hall were covered with dust, and the tributes placed on the table had already rotted.

In such a harsh environment, even the palace servants who accompanied him couldn't help but complain—

"How can people live in such a place? I'm afraid that all snakes, insects, rats and ants will come out at night."

"Oh, it's all the blame for this rain. It's better to stop quickly so that we can get to the next station!"

"Okay, stop talking, hurry up and clean up so that your highness and the Crown Princess can have a place to stay."

The mountain temple has been in disrepair for a long time, so cleaning is just to make the inside a little cleaner and not that much dust.

Outside the carriage, Fu Xirui was waiting with an umbrella. When he saw the car door open, he immediately went forward.

The first one was Pei Yan in a blue robe. After he stood firmly, he took the umbrella from Fu Xirui's hand.

Fu Xirui, “…?”

Linglong guessed something, pulled his sleeves, and took him back to the side.

The prince stood beside the carriage with an umbrella. After a while, a small head poked out from the carriage. It was the princess.

Just when everyone thought the prince was going to help the princess come down in person, they saw the prince handing the umbrella to the princess. Then, he bent down and actually picked up the princess.

Everyone, "!!!"

Linglong and Fu Xirui, "!!!"

As the person involved, Tao Ti was also confused at this moment.

She held the umbrella blankly and leaned against Pei Yan's warm embrace.

Her slender arms were tightly pressed against the man's hard chest, and she could clearly feel his heartbeat that was heavier. In this heavy rain, his heartbeat was so fast.

Dongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdong.

For a moment, she couldn't tell the difference. The sound of clamoring in her ears was his heartbeat or her own.

What was shaking in front of him was his cold white skin, his well-contoured jaw, and further downwards was his slender neck, and his prominent, slightly sexy Adam's apple...

Somehow, she had the urge to touch her.

Suddenly, a man's low and nice voice sounded above his head, "Ati, raise the umbrella higher, pressing down on his lonely hair."

Tao Ti was stunned and replied obediently, "Oh, OK."

She raised the umbrella a little higher and looked up at Pei Yan. His expression was very light and natural. It seemed that it was normal to hold her like this.

This made Tao Ti a little confused. Is this... normal?

When Pei Yan carried her into the temple and put her down, she couldn't wait to raise her head and asked him directly, "Your Highness, you, you just..."

Before she finished speaking, Pei Yan replied, "The road is muddy, your embroidered shoes will get wet."

Taoti, “…?”

Pei Yan, "When the shoes are wet, the cold comes from the feet, and it is easy to get sick."

Tao Ti, “…”

This answer is reasonable and perfect, so perfect that she doesn't know what to say.

After a moment, her pink lips moved, and finally she whispered, "Thank you... Thank you, Your Highness."

Pei Yan chuckled and said, "Put it away, the umbrella in the room will not grow tall."

Tao Ti realized that she had just thought about why she hugged her, but she forgot to put away the umbrella.

Linglong, who was following, heard this and quickly stepped forward to take the umbrella from Tao Ti's hand and took it to the door to close it.

Tao Ti stood in front of Pei Yan, and saw that his shoulder was wet by the rain. She felt a little embarrassed. When she saw that there was a layer of water on his forehead, she quickly took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, "Your Highness, wipe it for you."

Pei Yan didn't take it, but just bent down slightly and faced her directly, "The hands were a little sour, would Ati help Gu wipe it?"

His tone was gentle and gentle, and the smell of cedar came. The extremely handsome face was so close that she could even see every thick eyelash of his lash.

Taoti felt like a fisherman who was fascinated by the Siren Siren. Not to mention wiping sweat, even if he asked her to help him wipe his back, she wouldn't say "no".

only--

"Your Highness, please close your eyes, okay?"

When he looked at her like this, her heart beat very fast, as if she would pout in the next second!

"Okay." Pei Yan cooperated very much and gently closed his eyes.

As soon as the eyes were closed, his slender eyelashes became more obvious, and he was definitely a semen of eyelashes.

Taoti raised her hand to wipe his sweat, and as she wiped her eyes unconsciously fell on his lips.

His lips look so beautiful, and I don't know how it feels...

She thought so, but her fingers moved to the corner of his mouth by a silence, and her round fingertips were about to touch—

Suddenly, Pei Yan opened his eyes.

The deep and charming peach blossom eyes stared at her, their eyes clear and bright, as if filled with galaxies.

Tao Ti suddenly withdrew her hand as if she was awakened from a dream, blushed and stuttered, "Damn it, it's done."

Pei Yan seemed to have not noticed her little movements, and curled her lips and smiled, "Okay."

The palace people packed out a bench and walked to the window together to sit down.

The rest of the people were guarding the porch outside the door. The sound of rain was accompanied by faint thunder, and the sky was also gloomy. It was clearly noon, but it was as dark as evening.

Tao Ti glanced at Pei Yan quietly, hesitated for a while, and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, am I... a little heavy?"

After carrying her for a while, he sweated. Have you eaten too much recently?

Pei Yan answered very simply, "Not heavy."

Tao Ti, "Then you..."

Pei Yan said, "It's not sweat on your forehead, it's your umbrella that has been tilted and some rain dripped."

Taoti, “Oh, that’s it.”

She nodded, and suddenly felt something was wrong again.
