Travel To The World Of Ca Li
I Believe

Earlier...

'Uhukks..Uhukkp..' In a puff of smoke with a tight breath they coughed loudly making a painful mist around the two eyeballs that slowly drained the water.

"Magic power?!" The murmuring sound with his warm breath tickling the nape slowly sounded gloomy entering Xiu Qixuan's auditory senses.

The girl's face became dull and reddened due to the blow of the demonic aura's power.

"To be exact the power of the demonic aura." Xiu Qixuan growled with a reassuringly firm radiance as if she indeed recognized this very well.

Xia Qian Che scrunched his forehead, a puff of black smoke that was still soaring high made their gaze dispelled blurry. "Devil aura?" Ask with confusion.

"Your Majesty, right now I don't have time to explain." His voice was flat with his eyes staring straight implying that he was being serious about thinking.

"You're right. What do you want to do now to handle it?" Xia Qian Che asked with a serious deep look as if to say that 'Don't forget, zhen is here.'

Xiu Qixuan was stunned for a moment, like getting a speck of enlightenment was also a belief. "Your Majesty, that person is not easy to touch by a sword scratch." He murmured softly while still bowing looking inside.

The wind blew as the delicate beauty raised her red face like a watery plum in the middle of spring. "So, Your Majesty..." His smile was still so pleasant to look at in the worst of conditions

"You need to be transparent and wait for an opportunity while I become the focus of the attack." It only takes a sentence full of authority to obey. Xiu Qixuan was so confident in her abilities but she also would not refuse a helping hand.

On the other hand, he also warned Xia Qian Che not to go any further since this was a personal matter with the person targeting him.

The beautiful gleaming black marble grain stared in bewilderment at the stiff face of Xia Qian Che who was speechlessly frozen.

The girl did not realize that their distance was so close to the sturdy arm that wrapped tightly around her waist.

The slowly fading puff of smoke was blown away by the gusts of wind, making Xiu Qixuan immediately turn her face to stare straight ahead.

"Your Majesty, I believe." The soft whisper of sound flew into the recesses of the heart. Xiu Qixuan did not know that he had just dug a well hole that had been buried. It only takes one important meaningful sentence to awaken a human memory.

••••••••••••••••

The Depth of the Eastern Forest, Northern Xia Empire.

The ground rocks covered with layers of snow make the path very slippery. That long breath of air let out a faint frozen mist that hung in the air and slowly blew away as breezy as the night wind.

"It's slow..." The sneer belonging to the hubris made the vexed vexation of the girl who was walking with a dragged step.

"Humph, Your Majesty be generous with this lowly one." Xiu Qixuan grunted with a sharp look as if he wanted to stab at the sturdy back that was walking in front of him.

"After all that I'm wearing is not as grand as yours which is able to withstand the cold air and the ice ripples." Xiu Qixuan continued with a growl of annoyance.

After going through the crisis as well as the death incised by the demon, Xiu Qixuan's appearance was so messy with dust sticking all over her body and face. The thing that made the girl irritated and envious was Xia Qian Che's messy appearance still giving off a majestic radiance as if he was indeed born to cling with luxury.

Seen from the hairy cloak with strong leather shoes are able to withstand the slippery ice ripples and dispel the cold air. Everything looks more simplified than what he wears in the Palace but still nothing can match the radiance of a ruler.

"If you want, zhen can give it. Ask for better." Xia Qian Che said arrogantly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. But I don't need it." Delik Xiu Qixuan sharply.

'Dug.. Ours..' Xiu Qixuan's steps came to a halt when her forehead hit something and she let out a shocked ringing.

Xia Qian Che abruptly halted his steps making Xiu Qixuan who was behind him banging his forehead hard against the back that was as strong as the iron shield.

"Your Majesty, why stop?" Xiu Qixuan asked puzzledly when she saw the silent Xia Qian Che raising his face up to stare at the sky.

The wind was getting louder blowing on the branches of trees that crackled. 'Plop.cplop..' Slowly the thick snow fluttered down rapidly enveloping the land.

"Ah, it's snowing!" Shake Xiu Qixuan hard. He hurriedly scoured around to find a place to shelter as heavy snowfall flooded the surface.

'Greb...' Xia Qian Che grabbed Xiu Qixuan's arm then pulled her gently. "Follow zhen!" He said without even turning his face, rushing to take the girl to the safest place in the eastern forest.

There are no horses as a vehicle making their journey take longer. Using the science of body lightening will also look like suicide if in the middle of heavy snow.

••••••••••

Accompanied by only a glimmer of wood burning fire in the darkness of a small cave, the air felt a little better to warm the body.

"Is anything uncomfortable?" A deep, heavy voice that attentively asked her how she was.

The beautiful face that sank between the gaps of her two folded legs slowly lifted up, "No." Answer's short. After saying that one word he fell back pensively staring at the small burning embers.

His mind floated far away as just at the last second the crisis of death approached and a golden light immediately enveloped the body to escape carrying them into the eastern forest. Not knowing where the magic power came from, after that Xiu Qixuan needed to ask the two heavenly beasts.

"You asked zhen? Turn zhen who should ask who?" By the time Xiu Qixuan asked how they had suddenly come here to Xia Qian Che, that was the skeptical answer from her that was annoying. It's so useless!

Even so, Xia Qian Che had never forced her to explain anything. Xiu Qixuan knew clearly that the man was holding back a rush of curiosity. Though it was fine if the man wanted to be arrogant to try to suppress him with power rather than just silence and make him awkward.

'Tuk..' Xia Qian Che flicked his finger at the girl who was thinking hard to resuscitate him.

"Look at this frown, increase in number when you think." Xia Qian Che's lips with amused melancholy tried to melt the frozen atmosphere in the air.

"The Ministers will die in shock knowing their Emperor still has a sense of humor." Reply Xiu Qixuan with a glance at him full of indifference. Huh, right now he just wanted to keep quiet because his body was so sore as to be beaten by ten thousand soldiers. So exhausting!

Recalling something that made him uneasy, Xiu Qixuan's body jolted and trembled slightly. "Have the Crown Prince and the Princess returned to the Palace? Are they gonna be okay? I mean, Ibl—," Paused it.

"They'll be fine. The devil will not dare!" Xia Qian Che's touch with a clenched hand and bully teeth hid anger as well as anxiety.

A long sigh rang out as Xiu Qixuan smiled faintly to reply softly barely whispering, "Yes, it will be fine. After all, he's already severely injured and needs some time to recover." It was clear that he was referring to Mozi being injured by him.

Xiu Qixuan turned her face to ask something obstructive, "Your Majesty, are you so distrustful of me?"

Xia Qian Che was stunned, not understanding. "What do you mean?!" His touch was full of dislike feeling misunderstood.

Xiu Qixuan turned her eyes back to look at the burning embers. "It never occurred to me in the slightest to injure them, and to swear by the heavens never to do such a terrible thing. So, you can calm down Your Majesty!" His clear voice flowed in full of firmness pressure.

"I know." Whisper Xia Qian Che so quietly. He let go of that form of honorary formal vocation of his.

Hearing those words made Xiu Qixuan tilt her face that shriveled in astonishment, "What?"

"I know—, I know that you won't hurt my two children." Deuteronomy with ease.

"Why should you follow us to the center of the Capital? Doesn't that mean hinting that you don't trust me?" Xiu Qixuan asked without hesitation and without formality.

"I was there for undisclosed business." Xia Qian Che replied briefly.

Xiu Qixuan looked dissatisfied with the answer. When the girl wanted to hook her lips again to ask, Xia Qian Che's voice had already flowed first.

"I was inside one of the shophouses and accidentally saw you passing by carrying Shu'er and Xiao Wen. Ask people to watch. And when you were apart, somehow my body seemed to move on its own, leading me to search." His heavy voice seemed to withstand a confusion that was so troubled.

Meaning that from the very beginning Xia Qian Che was not in the Palace, he was wearing this kind of clothes to disguise himself as the Young Master from among the nobles and he was conducting a secret investigation.

Xiu Qixuan was only focused on the important details that made her hide a meaningful smile. He wanted to talk about the cooperation that was formed between them, but, it seemed that he currently did not have the strength left to discuss heavy matters.

Xiu Qixuan's hands were raised to rub her watery nose sore and reddened as her slightly heavy head. 'Hachim...' The sound of a stifled sneeze ended up sounding loud.

Ah, it looks like a fever attack from a cold wind. Why is it happening at the wrong time?
