162: Lu Yuan's acting skills have captured hearts!

The blood moon hung high in the sky, and the sounds of battle shook the heavens.

The young Qin Mengyao was covered in blood, holding a longsword, and was being besieged by four hideous Soul Transformation Stage Demonic Cultivators.

"Hehehe! Little lady, stop struggling!"

"Just obediently come back with us to be a Cauldron!"

Qin Mengyao's eyes were filled with despair. She had already burned her Essence Blood, desperately killing three and severely wounding one, but she was at the end of her strength.

"Even if I die, I will not be humiliated!"

She was about to detonate her Primordial Spirit.

Just at this critical moment.

"Want to touch her? Have you asked this Venerable first?"

A cold and domineering voice descended from the sky.

Qin Mengyao suddenly looked up.

She saw a slender figure blocking her in front.

That person wore a green robe, with black hair like a waterfall, holding a longsword that exuded an aura of time, like an exiled immortal descending to the mortal world.

In the dream, the originally blurry face began to become clear under Lu Yuan's forceful intervention.

Sword-like brows and starry eyes, as handsome as a demon, it was precisely Lu Yuan's face!

"Die!"

Lu Yuan swung his sword.

Although he was only a Cultivator in the Nascent Soul Late Stage, this sword contained an indomitable Sword Intent.

However, in the dream, Lu Yuan was ultimately only in the Nascent Soul Stage. After briefly repelling the severely wounded Soul Transformation Cultivator,

Lu Yuan turned around and embraced the unconscious Qin Mengyao.

He lowered his head and gazed deeply at the beauty in his arms, his eyes filled with pity and reluctance.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Then, he flashed and sent Qin Mengyao to a safe mountain cave a few miles away.

At this moment, a man also dressed in green happened to pass by, it was Xiao Feng.

Lu Yuan placed Qin Mengyao on the ground.

"Fellow Daoist, this woman is severely injured; I temporarily entrust her to your care."

"I will go and draw away the strong enemy!"

After speaking, he resolutely turned around, holding his longsword, and charged towards the terrifying Soul Transformation pressure, his back resolute and desolate.

With a Nascent Soul body, facing a Soul Transformation mighty expert, just to buy her a sliver of hope!

"No... don't go..."

Qin Mengyao in the dream tried to reach out, but couldn't grasp anything.

And that passing Xiao Feng, after seeing Lu Yuan lead away the strong enemy, looked at the unconscious stunning beauty on the ground, and a greedy light appeared in his eyes.

He slowly reached out and picked up Qin Mengyao... "No!"

In reality.

Qin Mengyao suddenly woke up, letting out a heart-wrenching scream.

She was drenched in cold sweat, and tears flowed like a bursting dam.

She woke up!

The dream was over!

But the dream was so real, so real that it made her heart ache as if it were being cut by a knife.

"So... so it was you!"

"So this is the truth!"

Qin Mengyao clutched her chest, sobbing uncontrollably.

That figure, blurred for twenty years, finally became clear!

It wasn't that hypocritical and lewd Xiao Feng!

But a handsome and unrestrained peerless hero who risked his life to save her and draw away the strong enemy!

"Where are you... where exactly are you..."

Just as her emotions reached their breaking point.

A faint sound of footsteps came from under the moon not far away.

Tap, tap, tap.

Qin Mengyao suddenly looked up. Through her tear-filled eyes, she saw a familiar figure slowly approaching from under the moonlight.

A green robe, black hair like a waterfall.

On his demonic handsome face, there was a trace of the vicissitudes of time and deep affection.

And at his waist, a double-fish Dragon-patterned jade pendant glowed with a warm luster under the moonlight.

"Boom!"

Qin Mengyao's mind instantly went blank.

It was him!

It really was him!

That face was exactly the same as in her dream!

That jade pendant was the token she had yearned for in her dreams for twenty years!

"Mengyao..."

Lu Yuan stopped, looking at the tear-streaked beauty before him, his voice hoarse, filled with endless longing: "These years... have you been well?"

"Wuwuwu..."

At this moment, all of Qin Mengyao's psychological defenses completely collapsed.

She rushed forward recklessly, throwing herself into Lu Yuan's arms, tightly embracing his waist, as if she wanted to melt herself into his body.

"Why... why did you only come now..."

"I've been looking for you for twenty years... a full twenty years!"

She cried like a wronged child, her tears instantly drenching Lu Yuan's clothes.

Lu Yuan gently patted her back, a hint of a triumphant smile flashing in his eyes, but his tone was full of self-reproach and guilt.

"I'm sorry, I came late."

"Back then, to draw away that old demon, I was severely injured, almost perished, and had to go into seclusion to heal."

"When I recovered and came out to look for you, I never found any trace of you."

At this point, Lu Yuan's voice trembled slightly, as if he was trying his best to suppress the pain in his heart.

"I didn't want to disturb your life, so... I could only often come here, hoping to catch another glimpse of the place where we first met."

"I didn't expect to actually meet you today."

Listening to Lu Yuan's heartfelt words, Qin Mengyao's heart shattered.

So he hadn't abandoned her!

So he had also been silently loving her all along!

And she, on the other hand, had been deceived by that despicable villain Xiao Feng, and even bore him a child!

"I'm sorry..."

Qin Mengyao cried even harder, her heart filled with hatred for Xiao Feng and guilt towards Lu Yuan.

After a long while.

Qin Mengyao's emotions finally calmed down a bit. By now, she had recognized that Lu Yuan was none other than Lu Yuan, the current famous Alliance Leader of the Immortal Alliance in the Eastern Wilderness.

She looked up, gazing at Lu Yuan foolishly, her eyes full of love.

"Brother Yuan, since heaven has allowed us to reunite, I will never let go again."

"Even if I bear infamy, even if I am expelled from my Family, I want to be with you!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan secretly chuckled in his heart, but a hint of hesitation appeared on his face.

"But... your child..."

"Xiao Fan?"

At the mention of this name, a trace of complexity flashed in Qin Mengyao's eyes.

Although he was her own flesh and blood, the thought that he was the offspring of that despicable villain Xiao Feng made her feel an uncontrollable disgust.

"That was an accident."

Qin Mengyao gritted her teeth and whispered, "Brother Yuan, if you mind... I... I can expel him from the Qin Family! Even... even I can break off the engagement with the Ji Family and let him fend for himself!"

For the man she had deeply loved for twenty years, she was even willing to abandon her own son!

This was the terrifying aspect of the Formless Heavenly Demon Art; once a Heart Demon was deeply planted, one would believe it implicitly, and of course, it was also largely due to the obsession already existing in her heart.

"Fool."

Lu Yuan reached out and wiped away her tears, a magnanimous smile appearing on his face.

"What foolish things are you saying?"

"Since I have accepted you, I will naturally accept everything about you."

"Although Xiao Fan is not my child, he is still your flesh and blood."

"As long as you are willing, I can treat him like my own son."
