Chapter 597 The Dragon's Bride 5

The next morning, they left the inn and headed for the famous mountain outside the city. The mountain road was rugged, with lush trees on both sides and occasional bird calls.

"Young Master, this mountain road is difficult to travel on, you have to be careful." A Wu looked at Long Yi worriedly.

Long Yi smiled cheerfully: "Don't be afraid, Wu. I will lead the way ahead."

The two supported each other and climbed up step by step. Finally, around noon, they reached the top of the mountain. The scenery before them made them feel relaxed and happy. The continuous mountains were looming in the clouds and mist, like a fairyland.

"Wow, it's so beautiful!" A Wu couldn't help but exclaim.

Long Yi turned his head to look at Ah Wu. The sunlight shone on her face, making her look more lively. “No matter how beautiful the scenery is, it’s not half as beautiful as you.”

Ah Wu lowered her head shyly.

At this time, they found the mysterious Taoist temple. The temple was not big, but it exuded an ancient atmosphere. A white-haired Taoist priest walked out of it.

"My two donors, what brings you here from afar?" The Taoist priest said in a gentle voice.

Long Yi said respectfully: "Master, I heard that this place is mysterious, so I came to visit you."

The Taoist priest smiled and said, "Since we are destined to meet, please come in and have a chat."

After entering the Taoist temple, Long Yi and A Wu started talking with the Taoist priest.

"This world is full of troubles. It is rare for you two to walk hand in hand." The Taoist stroked his beard.

Ah Wu said: "Master, we have been through thick and thin together, and I only wish that we can stay together for the rest of our lives."

The Taoist priest nodded: "Whatever your heart desires, and whatever difficulties you face, good results will surely come."

When they left the Taoist temple, the sun had already set and they walked slowly back along the mountain road.

"Young Master, after listening to what the Taoist said today, I have become more determined." A Wu's eyes were full of determination.

Long Yi held A Wu's hand tightly: "A Wu, no matter what the future holds, I will never let go of your hand."

Back in town, the lights were dim.

"Sir, where are we going tomorrow?" A Wu asked.

Long Yi looked at the starry sky: "The world is so big, there is always a place for us. Perhaps there will be more surprises waiting for us in the next place."

Ah Wu gently leaned on Long Yi's shoulder: "As long as you are here, Ah Wu will feel at ease."

The next day, the sun shone through the window into the house. Long Yi and A Wu got up early, packed their bags and prepared to leave. They walked out of the town hand in hand and embarked on an unknown journey.

Along the way, they passed many small villages and saw different customs and practices. Sometimes they met hardworking farmers in the fields, and sometimes they saw children playing at the entrance of the village. Everywhere they went, Ah Wu would look around curiously, and Long Yi patiently explained to her what he saw and heard. One day, they came to a prosperous town. The streets were bustling with people and hawking sounds. Ah Wu was attracted by a small stall selling jewelry. Long Yi saw her thoughts and selected an exquisite bracelet for her and gently put it on her wrist.

"Awu, you are so beautiful." Long Yi's eyes were full of affection.

A Wu's face was red and her eyes were shining with happiness.

However, just as they were about to leave, they accidentally bumped into a bully-like person. The bully was relentless and insisted on compensation from them. Long Yi didn't want to cause trouble and wanted to keep things quiet, but the bully went too far and even started to fight.

Long Yi had no choice but to fight back, and he subdued the bully in a few moves. But this incident also caused a lot of trouble. They were taken to the government office, and after some explanation and investigation, they were finally released.

After leaving the government office, Ah Wu said with lingering fear: "Sir, this journey has been full of twists and turns."

Long Yi comforted him, "Don't be afraid, Awu, these are just minor incidents and will not affect our itinerary."

Continuing on, they came to a quiet river. The water was clear and the fish swam freely in the water. Ah Wu squatted by the river, reaching out to touch the water gently, with an innocent smile on his face.

Long Yi looked at her, his heart full of love: "A Wu, when we settle down, I will definitely give you a warm home."

Ah Wu raised his head, his eyes full of anticipation: "Sir, I believe that day will come.

As night fell, Long Yi and A Wu found a flat grassland and decided to camp there. Long Yi skillfully lit a bonfire, while A Wu helped to sort out the surrounding debris.

The sky was full of twinkling stars, and the two sat side by side by the campfire, enjoying this moment of tranquility. Ah Wu gently leaned on Long Yi's shoulder and murmured, "Sir, although such days have twists and turns, they are also beautiful." Long Yi held her hand tightly and responded, "As long as you are by my side, everything is worth it."

The next morning, the sun woke them up again. On the way, they met an old man. The old man was ragged and walked unsteadily. Long Yi felt pity for him and gave him the food and water he brought with him. The old man was grateful and murmured to himself as he looked at their departing figures, "Good people will be rewarded."

A few days later, they walked into a dense forest. The forest was filled with thick fog, and the road became rugged and difficult to walk on. Suddenly, a ferocious beast jumped out of the woods and pounced on A Wu. Long Yi was quick to protect A Wu behind him and fought a desperate battle with the beast. After a fierce battle, Long Yi finally succeeded in repelling the beast, but he was also injured.

Ah Wu felt so distressed that she bandaged Long Yi's wound. "Sir, it's all my fault that you got hurt." Long Yi smiled and shook his head: "It's my responsibility to protect you."

After walking out of the forest, they saw a magnificent temple. The sound of bells from the temple seemed to be calling them. The two walked into the temple and prayed devoutly. At this time, a monk appeared in front of them, looked at them and said: "My two donors, although this journey is difficult, as long as you have love in your heart, good results will surely come."

After leaving the temple, Long Yi and A Wu continued their journey. Along the way, the hardships and obstacles they experienced made their hearts more closely connected.

One day, they came to a picturesque valley. Flowers were blooming, butterflies were flying, and the breeze was blowing gently, bringing bursts of flower fragrance. Long Yi looked at A Wu's beautiful face, and his love for her became stronger.

Finally, in this dreamlike beauty, Long Yi could no longer hold back. He slowly knelt on one knee, took out a carefully prepared ring from his arms, looked at A Wu affectionately and said, "A Wu, from the moment we met, my heart beats only for you. We have experienced ups and downs together, and every moment makes me more certain that I want to spend my life with you. A Wu, will you marry me?"

Ah Wu's eyes sparkled with tears. She stretched out her trembling hand, nodded gently, and said, "Sir, being with you is the greatest happiness in my life. I am willing."

Long Yi was overjoyed and put the ring on A Wu's finger. The two hugged each other tightly.

"Long Yi, do you have a wife at home? I don't care about status, I just want to be with you." A Wu seemed to remember something and asked suddenly.
