Chapter 473
"Stop! Hand over your stuff!" Several men in black suddenly jumped out from the darkness, and the shining weapons in their hands were particularly dazzling under the moonlight.
Ren Xiaoyao quickly protected Liu Piaoxue behind him, and scanned the newcomers with a sharp gaze: "We are just travelers passing by, and we have nothing to give you."
"Stop talking nonsense. Ren Xiaoyao is well-known in the martial arts world. Hand over the "Bishui Jue" and I will spare your lives!" The leading black-clothed man said viciously, obviously well prepared. "Humph, so you want the "Bishui Jue". What belongs to me, Ren Xiaoyao, is not something you lowly people can covet!" As he spoke, Ren Xiaoyao stretched out his body, like an arrow shot from a bow, and went straight to the leading black-clothed man.
The battle broke out instantly, with swords flashing and fists whistling. Ren Xiaoyao's swordsmanship was sharp, and every move and style revealed his protective heart for Liu Piaoxue. And Liu Piaoxue was not idle either. She lightly shuttled around the edge of the battlefield and assisted Ren Xiaoyao with the long whip in her hand. The two cooperated tacitly, like a pair of chivalrous lovers who had fought side by side for many years.
After a fierce battle, the men in black gradually lost and fell down one after another. After the battle, Ren Xiaoyao and Liu Piaoxue supported each other, gasping for breath, but their eyes revealed a deeper trust and dependence on each other.
"Brother Xiaoyao, are we one step closer to that dream?" Liu Piaoxue asked softly, with fatigue and satisfaction after victory on her face.
Ren Xiaoyao gently wiped the sweat off her forehead and smiled softly: "Yes, as long as we are together, every step is towards our dream. No matter how many storms there are, nothing can stop us."
The two smiled at each other and continued their journey. Their backs were stretched out in the moonlight, which seemed to indicate that although their future road was long and difficult, as long as there was love, there was hope. In the night sky, a shooting star streaked across, as if it was a silent blessing from the sky to them.
"Look, a shooting star!" Liu Piaoxue pointed at the night sky in surprise, with childlike excitement flashing in her eyes.
Ren Xiaoyao looked up, catching that brief but brilliant moment, and his heart was filled with warmth: "Make a wish quickly, for snow to fall."
She closed her eyes, put her hands together, and made a sincere wish. After a moment, she opened her eyes with a happy smile on her face: "I hope that no matter how bumpy the road ahead is, we can hold hands and walk together to the end."
Ren Xiaoyao held her hand tightly, his eyes full of determination: "Your wish is my direction. As long as we are connected in heart, nothing is impossible."
They continued to move forward, accompanied by the moonlight and guided by the stars. Although they knew that there would be many challenges ahead, they were filled with unprecedented courage and determination. As they walked, they saw an open area in front of them, with a clear stream flowing through, wild flowers blooming all around, and the air filled with a faint fragrance of flowers, just like a paradise.
"Here...it's so beautiful here." Liu Piaoxue exclaimed, as if she had discovered a treasure, and pulled Ren Xiaoyao towards the stream.
They sat on a smooth stone, their feet gently tapping the cool stream water, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility. Ren Xiaoyao took out a bamboo flute from his arms and put it to his lips. The melodious flute sound drifted with the wind, blending with the night, mountains and rivers, adding a bit of otherworldly artistic conception.
"Brother Xiaoyao, the sound of your flute always makes my heart extremely calm." Liu Piaoxue snuggled on his shoulder, her voice full of gratitude.
"As long as it can make you feel at peace, I am willing to play for you all my life." Ren Xiaoyao stroked her hair gently, his eyes flashing with infinite longing for the future and deep attachment to the person in front of him.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew, bringing a strange petal, which gently fell into Liu Piaoxue's palm. The petal emitted a faint fluorescence, as beautiful as a dream.
"This is..." She looked at the petals in surprise, as if all her attention was attracted by it.
"It seems that even nature is blessing us." Ren Xiaoyao smiled, his eyes also full of surprise.
They smiled at each other, and at that moment, it seemed as if the whole world had stopped for them. The warmth and romance under the night sky became the most precious chapter in their memories.
"No matter what the future holds, I hope this moment can last forever." Liu Piaoxue whispered softly, her eyes flashing with anticipation for the future.
"Yes, as long as we have love in our hearts, every moment is eternal." Ren Xiaoyao hugged her arms tightly, his tone firm, as if it was a promise to the future and a vow to each other.
The night is still quiet and beautiful. Two young hearts are closely connected in this moment of tranquility, looking forward to the arrival of dawn and those unknown but destined to be wonderful adventures.
"Listen, it's the nightingale singing." Ren Xiaoyao pointed to the woods not far away. The clear and melodious bird song seemed to be accompanying their love.
Liu Piaoxue listened attentively, with a gentle smile on her face, "Their singing is like weaving a love song for us."
At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from the forest, interrupting the tranquility. The two became alert, Ren Xiaoyao quickly protected Liu Piaoxue behind him, drew out the long sword at his waist, and the tip of the sword trembled slightly, ready to strike.
"Who is it?" he asked in a deep voice, his eyes as sharp as torches as he scanned the shadows around him.
"Hehehe, don't be so nervous, two young lovers." A frivolous voice jumped out from the shadows of the trees. It was a young man dressed in colorful clothes with a playful look on his face. He held a pair of short spears in his hands. He looked light but was murderous.
"Colorful-clothed thief, Li Xiaofeng, the famous flower-stealing thief in the world, what are you doing here?" Ren Xiaoyao recognized the other party's identity and his tone became even colder.
"Oh, Young Master Xiaoyao is really knowledgeable. I just happened to pass by and heard the beautiful flute sounds and laughter here, so I came to take a look out of curiosity. I didn't expect to meet the fairy couple rumored in the world." Li Xiaofeng said as he slowly approached, his eyes wandering over Liu Piaoxue, full of evil intentions.
"Stay away from her!" Ren Xiaoyao shouted angrily, and the sword flashed, pointing directly at Li Xiaofeng's throat.
Li Xiaofeng dodged easily with a flick of his body, and said with a smile: "Young man, why do you have to do this? I just want to invite this beautiful girl to enjoy the moonlight and talk about poetry and philosophy together."
"My sword doesn't like to joke." Ren Xiaoyao's sword skills were continuous, and each move went straight to the vital point, but Li Xiaofeng was like a ghost, always able to avoid it narrowly.
Liu Piaoxue did not panic. She picked up a thin branch from the ground, condensed her internal strength, turned it into a sharp weapon, and was ready to support Ren Xiaoyao at any time.
The battle unfolded under the moonlight, one good and one evil, light and shadow intertwined, and every confrontation was filled with the tension of life and death. Just when the two sides were deadlocked, Liu Piaoxue found an opportunity, and the branch shot like an arrow from a bow, hitting Li Xiaofeng's back.
Li Xiaofeng was startled, but it was too late to dodge completely. The branch tore through his clothes, leaving a bloody mark. His face changed, knowing that he would not succeed today, he sneered: "Humph, we will meet again later!"
After saying that, he used the short spear to tap the ground, and his figure floated several feet away like a fallen leaf and disappeared into the night.
After the battle, the two smiled at each other. Although they were still frightened, they became closer because they had gone through the difficulties together.
"Thank you, Piaoxue. With you by my side, I am fearless." Ren Xiaoyao sheathed his sword and looked at her tenderly.
Liu Piaoxue leaned lightly on his shoulder and said softly, "We agreed to face all the storms together. Thank you for protecting me this time."
Under the moonlight, the two's figures were stretched out, leaning against each other, as if they were the only ones left in the world. This night, there was not only a thrilling battle, but also a deep and affectionate companionship, which became an indelible memory on their road of love.
"However, Li Xiaofeng is a cunning man, and I'm afraid he will not let go of what happened tonight. We have to prepare early to prevent him from making a comeback." Ren Xiaoyao showed a trace of worry between his brows and held Liu Piaoxue's hand tightly.
Liu Piaoxue nodded in agreement, with a firm look in her eyes. "Indeed, we must be on guard against others. Tomorrow we will go to the city and find some powerful traps to set up around our residence. We will also ask a few trustworthy martial arts friends to help us resist possible threats together."
"Okay, then we'll set off early. Now, let's enjoy this brief peace." Ren Xiaoyao took Liu Piaoxue's hand and walked towards a clearing in the forest. There, the moonlight was the brightest, and it sprinkled on the ground like a layer of silver yarn.
They sat down, back to back, looking up at the starry sky. The night breeze blew gently, bringing coolness and tranquility, as if it could blow away all the troubles and worries.
"Xiaoyao, why are there always so many evil people in this world? If everyone can let go of greed, anger, and ignorance, how beautiful this world would be." Liu Piaoxue sighed softly, her words showing helplessness but also expectation for the future.
"It is precisely because of darkness that light is so precious. Although we cannot change everyone, we can stick to our original intentions and become a beam of light that illuminates others." Ren Xiaoyao turned his head and his eyes fell warmly on Liu Piaoxue's face, "With you by my side, I am willing to be that light."
Hearing this, Liu Piaoxue felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She gently held his hand and said, "We are each other's light. No matter how bumpy the road ahead is, as long as we walk hand in hand, there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome."
At this moment, a pair of meteors streaked across the night sky, dragging long tails, which was breathtakingly beautiful. The two of them made a wish at the same time, believing that as long as there is love in their hearts, they can overcome everything.
"Look, a shooting star, make a wish quickly!" Liu Piaoxue said excitedly, with a childlike innocence flashing in her eyes.
"I have already promised it," Ren Xiaoyao replied with a smile, "I hope that we can be together for the rest of our lives, hand in hand, and never separate no matter what the weather."
"Me too." Liu Piaoxue snuggled closer. Their wishes seemed to be witnessed by the starry sky in this quiet night.
Just like that, under the witness of the stars and the moonlight, the two made an eternal vow, making this experience not only a memory of fighting against evil, but also a warm and firm chapter in their love legend.
"I hope this oath can stand the test of time," Ren Xiaoyao whispered, the determination in his eyes like the brightest star in the night sky, "After tomorrow, no matter what means Li Xiaofeng uses, we will move forward fearlessly."
Liu Piaoxue chuckled, her voice filled with unquestionable conviction: "We are facing more than just Li Xiaofeng. The world is vast, with constant turmoil, but as long as we are united in heart, there are no mountains that cannot be crossed, no rivers that cannot be crossed."
As he finished speaking, a gust of wind blew by, bringing a slight sound in the distance, which seemed to foreshadow the impending change. Ren Xiaoyao stood up alertly and drew out the long sword behind him. The sword light was like water, reflecting his calm face. "Something is happening. We have to be careful."
Liu Piaoxue also stood up quickly, flicked her fingers, and a thin silver needle was already in her hand, ready to deal with any enemy that might appear. "Follow me."
The two men moved swiftly and silently into the night, approaching the source of the sound. Under the moonlight, they were like a pair of ghosts, shuttling between the shadows of the trees, and every inch of the air was filled with tension.
Soon, they came to a hidden valley entrance, and saw Li Xiaofeng leading a group of men in black, surrounding a strange mechanism, seemingly plotting something. The mechanism emitted a faint blue light, and looked extraordinary.
"It seems that he did not give up. Instead, he found new helpers and weapons." Ren Xiaoyao lowered his voice, his eyes sharp.
Liu Piaoxue frowned and responded in a low voice: "This mechanism doesn't look simple. We have to be more cautious."
At this moment, a dead branch accidentally stepped on and broke, exposing their whereabouts. Li Xiaofeng turned around upon hearing the sound, with a sneer on his face: "Ren Xiaoyao, Liu Piaoxue, you came at the right time, saving me a lot of effort in searching."
"Li Xiaofeng, no matter how scheming you are, you will eventually be defeated." Ren Xiaoyao faced him head-on, the tip of his sword pointing directly at him, his momentum unstoppable.
