Chapter 62

“Hey, can you not get so close……”

Shen Yao Xing, who had been enduring for a long time, finally couldn’t help but complain, looking at the person who was completely unaware with a headache.

The carriage wasn’t big to begin with, and he didn’t mind the heat.

Jiang Ming Yue acted as if he hadn’t heard, carefully arranging the pastries on the plate with his long fingers, and considerately holding it in front of the young woman, “Although it’s not as good as those in the capital, it’s barely edible. It’ll do for a few days.”

Is this the issue right now?

Shen Yao Xing’s eye twitched, glancing at Meng Xin Yi who was resting with her eyes closed opposite them, feeling a bit embarrassed. She raised her hand to push away the plate of pastries held in front of her.

“You can put it there, I’ll eat it myself.”

But the young man stubbornly pushed the plate towards her eyes again, his dark eyes slightly lowered looking at her, as if he wouldn’t compromise until she ate.

Shen Yao Xing hesitated for a moment, then had to reluctantly pick up a piece and bite it under his intense gaze. She forced a smile that didn’t reach her eyes and said, “Is that okay now?”

A hint of pleasure appeared between Jiang Ming Yue’s brows, and only then did he put the plate aside, “How do you find it?”

P.S. If you like novels, welcome to visit:

“What?” Shen Yao Xing didn’t react for a moment. Looking up, she saw him glancing at the other half of the pastry in her hand. She swallowed and slowly replied, “It’s okay……”

“You’re not picky.” The young man murmured softly, his eyes rippling with a faint, gentle light. He stared at her without any sign of boredom, instead seeming more and more moved.

He had never noticed before how beautiful this person was.

That nose, those eyes, every feature seemed to be just to his liking.

Shen Yao Xing felt her nose itch a little, turned her head and gave a small sneeze. She sniffled and was about to continue eating the other half of the pastry. It was only half a finger’s width from her lips when her wrist was suddenly grabbed by a slender, fair hand.

Looking up, she met the young man’s eager eyes, and could even see his Adam’s apple roll slightly.

For the first time, Shen Yao Xing immediately understood his meaning. As if afraid it would be snatched away, she ignored the restraining force and hastily stuffed the half piece of pastry into her mouth, mumbling with puffy cheeks, “It’s, it’s gone!”

The young man’s eager gaze instantly turned resentful. The hand that had been tightly gripping her wrist loosened and slowly moved to her neck, his fingers gently caressing her throat.

If it were before, Shen Yao Xing would have thought he wanted to strangle her, but now the feeling was indescribable, as if he was hinting at something, or acting coquettishly towards her.

Unceremoniously pushing away his hand, Shen Yao Xing glanced at the woman resting with closed eyes opposite them, her face slightly flushed with embarrassment.

Can you not be so oblivious to others! There aren’t just the two of them in this carriage.

The young woman’s grimacing appearance delighted Jiang Ming Yue even more. His eyes remained fixed on her face, but his actions became more obedient.

Shen Yao Xing decided to turn a blind eye, turning her back and closing her eyes, planning to take a nap before reaching the next stop.

It wasn’t until the carriage quieted down that Meng Xin Yi slowly opened her eyes. Her inquiring gaze fell on the young man’s closed eyes, but before she could examine further, those enchanting eyes suddenly opened.

There wasn’t a trace of sleepiness in his eyes, like a cold-blooded, emotionless venomous snake.

It was a complete contrast to his gentle demeanor from before.

Meng Xin Yi’s breath caught, a chill rising from the soles of her feet. Her body stiffened slightly, and for a moment she didn’t dare meet his gaze.

After a day of not finding a place to rest, they could only stop the carriage in the wilderness and camp for the night.

Bai Sha was very anxious. It didn’t matter for the women, but what if the delicate Young Master Yin caught a cold from spending just one night in the wind!

“Young Master Yin, please wait a moment. I’ll start a fire right away!”

Seeing Bai Sha busy with enthusiasm, Shen Yao Xing felt extremely exasperated. How come she had never seen this person so concerned about her, the master?

There were dry rations in the carriage, but Shen Yao Xing had never liked eating those dry things, so she decided to go see if she could hunt some wild game to bring back. Meng Xin Yi went with her.

The twilight in the sky had not yet faded when Meng Xin Yi suddenly spoke while Shen Yao Xing was constantly alert to the surroundings.

“Do you really plan to bring that Young Master Yin along to Jiao Huang City?”

“Mm, what’s wrong?” The young woman didn’t understand.

Meng Xin Yi looked at her, “Jiao Huang City is such a barbaric place, full of evil people. I’m afraid if something happens, you won’t be able to protect him.”

So that’s what it was about. Shen Yao Xing carelessly waved the slender wooden whip, striking the low bushes at her feet, and couldn’t help muttering quietly, “He can protect himself just fine, no need to trouble me……”

Although the young woman’s voice was soft, Meng Xin Yi heard it clearly. Her eyes narrowed slightly, becoming more certain of her guess. “What do you mean by that?” After a pause, she pretended to tease, “Could it be that the delicate young master is actually skilled in martial arts?”

Indeed he is, very skilled.

Shen Yao Xing silently complained, glancing sideways at the woman. As if finally finding someone to confide in, she couldn’t help but pour out all her grievances, telling her about the events in the capital and how the two of them almost got married.

She treated her as the most trusted person without realizing it.

Meng Xin Yi listened quietly until the young woman’s throat was dry from talking. She untied the water pouch from her waist and handed it over, “So… Young Master Yin is actually Young Master Ming Yue?”

Shen Yao Xing took the water pouch and nodded.

The corners of Meng Xin Yi’s mouth turned up slightly, her eyes filled with an indescribable depth. She seemed to praise, “As expected of Young Master Ming Yue, his disguise is so flawless that one can’t see through it at all.”

“Yes, I wonder what materials he used for the disguise to make it so natural.”

Meng Xin Yi turned to look at her and smiled, “I used to think that you and Young Master Ming Yue were from two different worlds. I never expected you to end up together. It’s truly surprising.”

Shen Yao Xing almost choked on her own saliva. She widened her eyes and hurriedly waved her hands in denial, “When did we get together!? Don’t make things up!”

It’s already difficult enough now. If they really got together, wouldn’t it shorten her lifespan?

The woman smiled gently but didn’t tease her further.

Late at night, sleeping positions were allocated. Some slept in trees, some on the ground, leaving the carriage for the only male among the four. The inside of the carriage had been carefully prepared by Bai Sha, as if afraid the man wouldn’t sleep comfortably.

If Shen Yao Xing didn’t know her character, she would have thought Bai Sha had fallen in love with Jiang Ming Yue.

She had never been so attentive to her, the master.

The night wind near autumn harvest was a bit cool, “whooshing” through the treetops, curling up fallen leaves that floated past the misty moon, rustling.

In the hazy moonlight, several dark shadows quickly passed between the trees, surrounding the place where the group was resting. Looking at the sleeping figures, one of them made a hand gesture, and instantly a white powder like fireflies was sprinkled down above the sleepers.

The dark shadows waited for a good while longer before lightly leaping down from the high trees and approaching.

The sleeping people seemed to be in a dead sleep, completely unaware.

The dark shadows moved among the sleepers. At the leader’s signal, a tall figure approached the young woman in brick-red clothes. Just as they bent down, about to reach into her clothes to search for something, a cold light sliced off their wrist before they could touch her.

Blood splattered all over the young woman on the ground.

Jiang Ming Yue’s brows furrowed, his face growing increasingly cold and piercing, red light surging in his eyes.

A shrill scream pierced the night sky as the tall woman clutched her severed limb, rolling on the ground in agony.

The others clearly hadn’t expected someone to be in the carriage. They drew their swords, on full alert. The cold moonlight fell on the young man’s beautiful face, making his already expressionless face seem even more unreal, as beautiful as a celestial being.

The loud cries also woke Shen Yao Xing from her stupor. She held her dizzy head with one hand, struggling to sit up, feeling weak all over. The strong smell of blood made her feel nauseous.

Opening her bleary eyes, she saw the black-clothed person still screaming in agony.

Shen Yao Xing was a bit dazed. When she turned her head and saw the row of black-clothed figures, she immediately understood. Could they be robbers taking advantage of the night?

She tried to stand up but found even this small movement extremely difficult. Just as she was feeling dejected, a hand suddenly came around her waist, directly lifting her to her feet.

Shen Yao Xing slumped her shoulders, feeling weak and breathless. “Don’t worry about me… Drive them away first…”

Jiang Ming Yue lowered his beautiful chin slightly, looking down at the young woman for a moment, then leaned down to whisper in her ear, “Don’t speak, go back to sleep.”

“Can’t sleep…” Shen Yao Xing hung on him like a salted fish.

The young man’s lips curved slightly upwards. He didn’t mind the blood on her clothes and raised his wide sleeve to tightly hold half of the young woman’s body in his arms.

The two’s “intimate conversation,” oblivious to others, successfully angered all the conscious people present. Seeing that the young woman was powerless to resist, the leader immediately raised a hand to signal, and they quickly moved to surround the pair.

Jiang Ming Yue held Feixue in his hand, his eyes moving from the young woman’s face. He calmly swept his gaze over the black-clothed figures surrounding them layer by layer, his expression showing not a hint of panic.

The leader was a thin woman with deep wrinkles around her exposed eyebrows and eyes. Her drooping eye corners formed triangular eyes, and the venomous light emanating from them closely examined the sword in the young man’s hand. Her expression suddenly changed.

Shen Yao Xing, whose vision was blocked by the young man’s sleeve, had thought there would be another good fight. But to her surprise, she heard the woman’s gritted “retreat.” After a rustle of movement, the surroundings soon quieted down.

She wanted to see what was happening, but didn’t even have the strength to raise her hand.

Then she felt herself being picked up. Shen Yao Xing felt a bit embarrassed, “You can just put me on the ground.”

It was the first time being held like this by a man, and it felt too strange!

Jiang Ming Yue ignored her and directly carried her onto the carriage, carefully placing her on the soft couch.

Shen Yao Xing felt a bit grateful and moved, secretly sighing “what a good person,” and was about to turn her head to continue sleeping.

The tight grip around her waist suddenly loosened, and her eyes widened abruptly.

There was hardly any light in the carriage. The young man’s slightly hurried breathing made her whole body stiffen, and her teeth began to chatter.

“What, what are you doing?”

If there had been a lamp at this moment, one would have seen that Jiang Ming Yue’s face was already completely flushed, his ear tips as red as if dyed with blood. He subconsciously averted his gaze, his fingers trembling nervously, “Your clothes are dirty. I’ll change them for you.”

Having said that, he no longer paid attention to the young woman’s resistance and took off her outer garment, throwing it aside.

The silver moonlight shone in through the window, making the young woman’s curvaceous body particularly alluring in the moonlight.

Jiang Ming Yue’s eyes were filled with infatuation. He lowered his gaze and, in an admiring posture, leaned forward to lightly lick her jaw.

The immobilized Shen Yao Xing: …… Help!

After being licked with a frustrated expression, she barely breathed a sigh of relief when the young man reluctantly left.

The next moment, she felt the young man’s hand fall on her undergarments. Her face instantly turned green. With strength bursting from who knows where, she shouted, “Just try touching me!”

Jiang Ming Yue’s hand trembled slightly and finally withdrew, unable to bear the young woman’s angry glare.

He gently bit his lip and leaned down to the young woman’s ear, murmuring softly with a pleading tone, “When we return to the capital, shall we get married?”
