Chapter 297 The only thing they needed to get married was to meet each other

On the outskirts of Liyue, Shen He was walking alone between the valleys, holding a small note in her hand, on which was written the precautions left for her by her master, Master Liuyun Jiefeng.

"First, do not hurt anyone while ensuring your own safety."

"Secondly, you should find a reliable partner for this competition."

"Third, training in cooking..."

Speaking of finding a partner, Shen He recalled in a daze the experience of going down the mountain.

"Immortal, Immortal, please fulfill my wish!"

Strangers knelt on the ground with pious looks on their faces. No matter how Shen He explained, people were always willing to believe the conclusions they had drawn.

She is so beautiful and yet she is not worldly. Is she an immortal or something else?
Unfortunately, what they don’t know is that even immortals cannot do things.

To get something for nothing, and to place all expectations on something illusory, such wishes often yield no results.

Even though Shenhe usually helps them to the best of his ability, their wishes are mostly unrealistic.

"Give me countless Moras, immortality, and eternal youth..."

How can we help them if even Shen He can't do these things?

But when wishes are not met, people will show their ugly faces.

"Is this also considered an immortal?"

"Are you really an immortal?"

"Tsk, I thought it was so great..."

The attitude changes so quickly, from respectful at first to rude later, it's laughable to think about it.

Shen He didn't understand this kind of feeling, nor did he want to understand it.

After those few times he went down the mountain, Shen He was no longer willing to set foot in the human world except to go out to look for herbs or to complete his master's tasks.

While thinking, Shen He suddenly saw a conspicuous water elemental force above him out of the corner of his eye.

Ye Lan, Liyue's top agent, likes to travel alone in the wilderness when not working.

In the past few days, she made a rare mistake in many years. Although Ningguang did not hold her responsible, Ye Lan herself was still quite indignant.

“That guy…”

The figure of that person appeared in Ye Lan's memory, and she bit her lips lightly. It was one of the rare times in her life when she was teased by others.

Often at this time, Ye Lan would come to the outskirts of Liyue to hunt and shoot arrows, enjoying the tranquility and peace of nature.

She took a fancy to a fat white crane. Although the meat of the crane was not very tasty, it was often used as medicine and was very suitable for her to nourish her health.

Draw the bow, draw the string, keep calm, and guide the power of the water element to flow along the bowstring.

A blue arrow appeared out of thin air, with water flowing on it, soft enough to sink into water and heavy enough to split mountains.

Concentrating his mind on the distance, Ye Lan relaxed his hand holding the bow but straightened his body.

If the body is straight, the bow will be straight.

"break!"

The perfect arrow flew straight towards the white crane that was looking at the view from the top of the mountain.

If nothing unexpected happened, this arrow should hit the target, but Shen He, who was looking up at the foot of the mountain, had such a thought in his mind for some reason.

"That crane looks like Master..."

Thinking of this, Shen He's body moved involuntarily and he made some hand gestures.

"The mind creates an ice body and manifests it!" In a flash, an ice puppet that turned into a god of ice flew across the mountains at lightning speed. Its speed even surpassed Ye Lan's water arrow.

The water arrow shot by Ye Lan was stopped in mid-air by an icy hand, then crushed into pieces, turning into ice chips that slid to the ground.

"Who?"

Ye Lan looked around and soon found Shen He at the foot of the mountain.

There was a waterfall between the two of them, and in order to hurry on his way, Shen He walked lightly, and the waterfall in mid-air extended an icy staircase out of thin air. One step, two steps, Shen He only took three steps across the hundred-meter-high waterfall and arrived in front of Ye Lan.

"You can't kill it."

Shen He knew of course that was not her master, but she couldn't help herself when she saw the crane that she was destined to be with was hurt. Perhaps it was the posture of the archer that attracted her. In short, Shen He herself couldn't explain it clearly.

Looking at the beautiful woman with extraordinary temperament and pure character walking towards him, Ye Lan was stunned for a long while before he found the information about this person from his memory bank.

“(Isn’t this the “white-haired fairy” in Liyue’s legend?)”

Ye Lan's intelligence network spans the entire Liyue. Although Shen He lives in seclusion, as a disciple of an immortal, her whereabouts are of course among the key targets of observation by Liyue officials.

"Why, there is no provision in Liyue's laws that prohibit the hunting of cranes, right?"

Although Shen He's expression was frightening, Ye Lan became interested instead. The value of information about such a special person was often many times greater than that of ordinary people.

So Ye Lan approached Shen He nonchalantly, trying to see through him.

When a stranger approached him, Shen He stepped back slightly, seeming a little uncomfortable.

But she was also speechless for a moment. After all, for her who lived in the mountains, she knew nothing about Liyue's laws. Therefore, she could not find any reason to refuse Ye Lan.

"In short, it just doesn't work."

Although he couldn't find a reason, Shen He still said it in a tone that said strangers should stay away from him. As the saying goes, you can lose the battle but not the battle.

So her body became closer and closer to Ye Lan.

As the distance got closer, their faces were soon only an inch apart. They could clearly see each other's glowing skin, delicate features, the fragrance on their bodies, and those touching eyebrows.

A strange atmosphere appeared around the two of them, and if they savored it carefully, it was the sweet scent of oranges.

"........."

Somehow, looking at Shen He's innocent face, Ye Lan felt a tiny bit of guilt in her heart, and her heart skipped a beat, as if she had really done something wrong in her hunting behavior just now.

It was this little bit of concession that made Ye Lan involuntarily take a step back. As the saying goes, one step back, all steps back. When Ye Lan took a step back, Shen He followed without giving in, as if he would lose his momentum if he didn't do so.

"(Master once said that during a conversation, no matter if it makes sense or not, or if you are wrong or not, you must not lose your composure. Sure enough, this trick is very effective)."

Shen He thought so in his heart, and Ye Lan had already pushed him away with a helpless tone.

"Alright, alright, I won't eat white cranes anymore, alright? If you're still not satisfied, I can compensate you."

Ye Lan had a helpless look on his face. He came out to rest, but he didn't expect to meet such an unreasonable evil star. It was really bad luck for him to run into him.

"Compensation?"

Suddenly, Shen He remembered one of the precautions his master had given him, and patted Ye Lan's shoulder seriously.

"Ah, be gentle."

Ye Lan showed a painful expression on her face. Shen He was born with supernatural strength. The force made Ye Lan's shoulder hurt, but she couldn't pull it away with her hands.

"You, come and be my partner!"

"what?"
