Chapter 1036 Diary of the North Sea Dragon Girl
Dragons love water by nature, and when they encounter such dry and hot weather, Shi Li is miserable.
But looking at the cold face of Crown Prince Chang Yao, she dared not say a word and endured it silently with gritted teeth.
Beads of sweat the size of beans fell silently down both cheeks.
Shi Li pursed her lips and raised her hand to wipe the sweat off her face. Suddenly, she felt a cool breeze blowing by her side. She looked over in surprise and found that it was Ye Yuan who was quietly fanning her with his sleeves.
This thoughtfulness almost moved Shi Li to tears.
When he arrived in the Northern Wilderness, Shi Li was unable to make clouds and rain immediately.
The drought demon has not been found yet. Not to mention that the sky is so clear that not even a cloud can gather, even if she really managed to make it rain, it would instantly lose its effect because of the existence of the drought demon.
Therefore, Shi Li had to wait for Crown Prince Chang Yao to find Hanba and subdue him before he could do his job.
The newly born drought demon was very cunning and no one knew where she was hiding. Crown Prince Chang Yao and his men searched for her for a whole day but could not find any trace of her.
At night, when the sun sets, the air around is not cool at all.
Shi Li was afraid of being called spoiled, so she endured it silently. Only when Ye Yuan occasionally fanned her with his sleeves did she feel a little relieved.
A small village appeared ahead of them.
Prince Chang Yao stopped and stared at the village for a while, then decided to spend the night in the village.
"You can't reveal your identity." He turned around and instructed Shi Li coldly.
For some reason, Shi Li felt that the prince inexplicably disliked her, and not wanting to be even more disliked, she nodded and said "OK" obediently.
Every household in the village had closed their doors and windows. Prince Chang Yao found the largest house and sent a personal attendant to knock on the door.
The person who opened the door was an old man with a strong body and gray hair. At first, there was some confusion and wariness on his face.
But the people here are simple and honest. When they heard that Shi Li and his group had nowhere to stay, they immediately opened the door for them with a smile.
Surprisingly, only the old man and his five-year-old granddaughter lived in such a big house.
The little girl was wearing a lovely red dress and was a little shy. She stood behind her grandfather, looking at Shi Li and his group with her round eyes.
The old man was very hospitable. He arranged a guest room for them and frankly told them about the water shortage here. He asked them to just make do with it for the night.
Crown Prince Chang Yao showed no airs in front of the old man and chatted with him in a very casual manner.
Shi Li stood quietly by and also learned that the old man's son used to be the head official here, but was transferred to another place last year, so only he and his granddaughter were left in such a big house.
Out of the corner of my eye I suddenly saw a patch of red quietly approaching me.
Shi Li lowered her head and saw her little granddaughter standing not far away, with a look of curiosity and timidity on her face.
Thinking that the little girl had been separated from her parents for almost a year and had to stay here alone with her grandfather, Shi Li felt a little soft-hearted. She took off the purse around her waist and waved to the little girl.
The little girl was a little tempted. She looked at her grandfather first, and after getting permission, she slowly walked to Shi Li.
Shi Li poured out a handful of fragrant apple candies from her purse and put them into the little girl's hands with a smile.
"Try it, it's very sweet."
These apple candies seemed to be given to the original owner by others when she was just hatched. If she hadn't met the little girl today, Shi Li would have forgotten that there was such a thing in her purse.
"Thank...thank you." The little girl spoke slowly and her voice was a little hoarse. She didn't know if it was because she had been with her grandfather for too long and no one was talking.
Just then, the grandfather over there said, "Since the drought here, more and more people have left, and fewer and fewer people have stayed."
Shi Li felt more and more pity for the little girl and raised her hand to touch her head, but the little girl dodged and she missed.
Shi Li put down her hand awkwardly, turned her head and tried to smile, but saw Ye Yuan staring at the candy apple in the little girl's hand.
This……
Shi Li looked around and resisted the urge to ask for another handful of candy.
When everyone went to the guest rooms to rest and Ye Yuan was waiting outside her door, she quickly grabbed a handful of candy and stuffed it into his hand.
Ye Yuan only felt something sticky in his hand. He lowered his eyes and saw that it was actually a handful of apple candies. He was shocked.
"It's okay, you eat quietly, I won't tell anyone." Shi Li put her hands behind her back and smiled very considerately.
Ye Yuan: ...
Having just arrived in this strange place, Shi Li actually had a dream after falling asleep.
In the dream, there was still that young man in white who looked exactly like Ye Yuan.
