The two of them continued on their way. However, this time, they did not take the official road. Instead, they crossed the mountains.
It was fine at first, but after walking for a while, Yan Lingji's legs were sore. She asked angrily,""Why don't you go to the nearby city to buy a horse?”
"You're being chased, who knows if there are more killers behind you? Whether they went to the city to buy horses or continued to walk on the official road, they might expose their whereabouts.”
"Then why didn't I see any killers chasing after us when we took the official road yesterday?" Yan Lingji was unconvinced.”
"I just killed those nine assassins yesterday. It will take some time to send the news back, and it will take some time for the other party to send more assassins.”
Ye Changqiu wasn't afraid of assassins, but he was worried that if he couldn't take care of her, something might happen to Yan Lingji.
If she died, wouldn't his efforts be in vain?
Yan Lingji rubbed her sore legs and said angrily,""You make it sound like that. Who knows if your judgment is accurate or not?”
Ye Changqiu smiled faintly." I've said so much, but you didn't refute me. It seems like you also think that the other party will send more people." Who did you offend?"
"Nonsense, I didn't offend anyone." Yan Lingji said guiltily.
"Forget it."
Ye Changqiu didn't mind and continued walking forward.
"Han Fei…My leg hurts.”
Yan Lingji wasn't being pretentious. She really couldn't walk anymore. Although she was gritting her teeth and holding on, her legs had long gone soft and sore because she had no power left.
His legs felt as if they were filled with lead. Every step he took required a great deal of energy.
Ye Changqiu turned his head to look at her, then walked up to her. He reached out and pulled her into his arms. Then, he used his movement technique and ran forward.
Yan Lingji glared at him and wanted to say something.
But in the end, she didn't say anything. She just leaned into Ye Changqiu's embrace, a faint smile on her lips, not saying a word.
Heh, it was quite comfortable in his arms…
………………….
At noon, the two of them came to a lake.
The lake water was clear and jagged. When the breeze blew, it created layers of ripples, which was very pleasant.
Seeing the lake, Yan Lingji cheered and jumped down from Ye Changqiu's arms. She ran towards the lake and jumped into the water, swimming happily.
"This lake is so cool and refreshing. Han Fei, do you want to come down together?"
Ye Changqiu wasn't interested in her and shook his head,"Take your time to play. It's best if you can catch two fish.”
"Your body stinks. Come down and wash up.”
Yan Lingji stepped on the water, half of her body floating on the surface of the water. Her hair was dripping with crystal water droplets, like a hibiscus out of water.
"I'm not used to bathing with clothes on." Ye Changqiu said lightly.
Hearing this, Yan Lingji was slightly stunned. Then, her face turned red and she spat softly.
"Bah, dirty."
After that, she didn't bother with Ye Changqiu anymore and continued to play in the lake.
Ye Changqiu found some firewood and lit it up. He would blow away the smoke with his palm from time to time to prevent the smoke from exposing their whereabouts.
He only stopped when the smoke had thinned out and the firewood had turned into charcoal.
"Han Fei, Han Fei, look what I caught!”
At this moment, Yan Lingji walked out of the lake with a smile on her face and two fish in her hands.
Just as she was about to go ashore, she suddenly slipped and fell back into the water. With a splash, the two fish in her hands ran away.
"Hahaha…"
Ye Changqiu held his belly and laughed, taking pleasure in her misfortune, not showing any mercy to the fairer sex.
Yan Lingji got up from the water and sat opposite Ye Changqiu. She glared at him angrily without saying a word.
Her beautiful face was filled with anger.
Ye Changqiu didn't care about her murderous gaze. He raised his hand and sent out two True Qi, accurately hitting the two fish in the lake.
Then, he waved his hand, and the two fish flew over and landed in his hand.
After tidying it up, he put it on a tree branch and began to roast it.
Looking at the fragrant grilled fish, Yan Lingji rolled her eyes and said," Han Fei, please do me a favor."
"Speak."
"Use your internal energy to dry my clothes."
"Sorry, I can't help you."
"Petty!"
............................
After a while.
"It's done."
Ye Changqiu passed one to Yan Lingji, and the two of them began to eat.
After he was full, Ye Changqiu came to Yan Lingji's side and grabbed her delicate hand.
"What are you doing?"
Yan Lingji was shocked and wanted to pull it back.
"I helped you dry your clothes. I've already hugged you. Why are you making a fuss about grabbing your hand?”
A gentle stream of Genuine Qi passed through Yan Lingji's body, emitting waves of heat.
The heat wouldn't affect her body, but it would spread through her skin and into her clothes.
In an instant, clouds and mist rose around Yan Lingji, and she looked as if she was about to ascend…
Suddenly!
An enormous pressure was approaching from afar!
This kind of pressure was definitely not something that a grandmaster could bring!
The person who came was a martial grandmaster!
