Chapter 58 (Literary)

  The royal hunting ground is located in the southwest of Tianxuan Imperial Dynasty. Even if you take a horse-drawn carriage, it will take two days to get there.

  However, due to excitement in his heart, listening to Xing Xiao Ran talk about past hunting experiences, the two days passed by like a blink of an eye.

  After the big team finally arrived at the royal hunting ground, Han Xi also got off the horse-drawn carriage under Xing Xiao Ran's careful support. After standing firm on her feet, she looked up and her eyes sparkled instantly.

  Only the royal hunting ground is seen, with towering mountains and emerald green peaks, deep valleys and dense forests, where birds fly in and out, and from afar can be heard the sounds of various flying creatures and beasts within the forest.

  And there are those continuous cliffs and steep walls, surrounded by clouds and mist, which is magnificent!

  This royal hunting ground was personally selected by the ancestors of the Jing family, and this place is not only treacherous, but also full of venomous snakes and ferocious beasts in the forest.

  The further you go in, the more ferocious the snakes and beasts become.

  However, every year, the Tianxuan Emperor would bring his princes to this place to see the world and also to temper their bodies. And what makes them not forget that they are from the Tianxuan Dynasty is that it was their ancestors who had worked hard to establish this dynasty.

  At this time, when arriving at the royal hunting ground, it was already late afternoon.

  As everyone was tired from the two-day journey, Xing Huan ordered people to set up camp on the open plain outside, so that everyone could rest well and recharge their spirits, and perform well tomorrow.

  After two days of bumping on the carriage, Han Xi Tong was also tired. Just now, You Er came back and said that there is a small stream not far away outside, and it's relatively secluded, probably no one will go there.

  Han Xi Tong thought to herself, during the two days on the horse carriage, she hadn't even properly washed her face. Although there wasn't any unpleasant smell on her body, it would still make her feel uncomfortable all over.

  Then told Xiang Xuanran to go and relieve himself, and followed You'er to leave the camp.

  Compared to the lush forest of the royal hunting ground behind, the dense foliage blocks out the sun, and the ancient trees that seem to touch the sky form a large screen, even on a scorching summer day, it will block out all the sunlight from outside.

  The scenery of the mountains and rivers is magnificent and majestic.

  However, when You'er brought Han Xi Tong to a secluded little stream, Han Xi Tong looked at the clear and transparent stream, and the cool water refreshed her mind, making her like it even more.

  Moreover, this place has lush branches to block the view, and it's far from the campsite. Even if she does something here, no one will find out. So, Han Xi's courage grew bigger, and she directly took off her shoes and socks, putting those white and tender little feet into the clear and cool creek water to play.

  The young man on the side took a glance and was suddenly frightened, his face changed color, he furrowed his good-looking eyebrows and hastily said.

  "Oh no, young master, how can you be so reckless? What if someone sees you?"

  "Hehe, Ruer, I just wanted to soak my feet, what's the big deal?"

  Looking at Rui'er's tense expression, Han Xi couldn't help but find it amusing.

  Thinking back, wasn't she wearing a bikini and walking around on the beach before?

  However, thinking about these ancient people's ideas is conservative; if they were to be sent to modern times, they would surely be frightened to death!

  You'er saw Han Xi Tong, still not intending to get up and put on her shoes and socks, and was also afraid that if someone saw them later, it would damage Han Xi Tong's reputation. After all, the conservative ideas of ancient times sometimes meant that even if a man saw just one small foot, he might have to marry that woman because of it!

  So, You'er walked to the front with a helpless expression and blocked the wind for Han Xi, so that others wouldn't see her.

  Seeing Younghwan's over-the-top worries, Haneul just smiled speechlessly and let it go.

  Soak your feet in water, although it's autumn now, the daytime temperature is still quite hot, but the nighttime temperature drops drastically, and only at sunset, when day and night intersect, the temperature becomes cool and pleasant.

  Han Xi Tong's face was calm and leisurely, with both hands propped behind her back, while her feet soaking in the creek water were constantly waving up and down, stirring up a lot of water splashes, also causing the originally tranquil small stream to ripple with layer upon layer of waves.

  A pair of bright eyes, slightly narrowed, quietly watching the sunset slowly moving westward.

  Watching it fall inch by inch into the clouds in the west, still radiating a million feet of golden light at the last moment, dyeing the west with a brilliant orange-red color, just like a magnificent seven-color silk ribbon.

  The eastern night sky did not completely darken, but instead slowly opened up like a drop of ink falling into clear water.

  The small stars were also slowly revealing their light at this time, and the half-round bright moon was hanging high in the sky, just like a mooncake that had been bitten into by someone.

  In an instant, amidst the colorful and resplendent sky, the sunset's afterglow, flowing clouds unfolding, twinkling stars, a bright and clear moon, mutually shining together, beautiful like a celestial being's brushwork in ink painting, stunning and breathtaking.

  Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of her, Han Xi couldn't help but sigh at the beauty of nature. No wonder even poets can't stop using sunset as a subject for their poems. Especially Li Shangyin's poem.

  "The sunset is infinitely beautiful, it's just near dusk."

  Actually, Han Xi only thought of this poem at this moment and couldn't help but blurt it out. Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, a hoarse and magnetic voice sounded from behind her.

  "The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it can't compare to a certain person!"

  A hoarse voice with seven parts of evil charm and three parts of laziness, but damn it's moving.

  At the sound of this voice, Han Xi's face involuntarily stiffened for a moment, and then, as if thinking of something, he immediately turned his head towards the source of the sound.

  All that was seen was a handsome man leaning lazily against the trunk of a large tree beside her, eating an apple in his hand. His slightly upturned peach blossom eyes were now filled with a hint of evil charm and a faint smile, looking down at her under the tree with a slanted glance.

  Looking at the demon man who appeared on the tree without knowing when, Han Xi's eyes and eyebrows were slightly frowned, her red lips opened lightly, and a light voice came out.

  "Green hat man, how did you appear here?! Are you following me?!"

  "Pfft", upon hearing Han Xi's words, Yang Lie couldn't help but spit out the apple he was chewing on. His originally charming face sank, and his mouth twitched with a few hints of distortion. His tone also carried a hint of gritted teeth.

  "I'm saying, for someone who has helped you, shouldn't you change the way you address me? Even if you don't call me 'benefactor', do you have to call me 'cuckold'?"

  And he has never worn a green hat either! This damn woman!

  "Hehe..."

  Looking at the tree, Yang Lie's face was gnashing his teeth in anger, Han Xi couldn't help but smile, her absolutely beautiful small face, due to being dyed by the orange-red evening light, made her even more breathtakingly beautiful.

  A pair of curved watery eyes smiled curviledly, gazing at Yang Lie's gaze also with a hint of playful color.

  Moreover, she didn't know if it was because of the last time when Yang Lie helped her, but this time when she saw him again, Han Xi found that her dislike for Yang Lie had decreased a lot.

  At least, I no longer have the urge to kick him a few times when I first saw him.

  Looking at Xuan Yang Lie's angry and resentful face, Han Xi couldn't help but smile slightly, however, his tone was no longer as sharp as before.

  "What should I call you in the future if I don't call you a cuckold?"

  Han Xi Tong asked curiously, with a faint smile in her voice, crisp and pleasant to hear, like the sound of pearls falling onto a jade plate, it was truly enchanting.

  Never thought that today's Han Xi Tong's attitude towards him seemed to have changed so much, becoming... seemingly a bit friendly, at this, Yang Lie's heart was delighted, looking at Han Xi Tong's narrow peach blossom eyes also with a playful smile, the corner of his mouth slightly hooked, hooking up a hint of an evil smile, he laughed loudly.

  "From now on, you can call me Lie!"

  That bright and cheerful laughter carries a hint of carefree abandon.

  Immediately, Jing Yang leapt down from the tree trunk with a nimble movement, his actions quick and neat, extraordinary.

  If it weren't for knowing he's the fourth prince, at first glance, one would think that he's just a carefree and unrestrained young master.

  His majestic physique and bronze skin made him look like a sleek African leopard.

  However, he happened to like wearing large red robes. To be honest, apart from seeing him naked, Han Xi Tong had always seen him in a big red robe at any other time.

  Moreover, each set of bright red robes was exquisitely embroidered and tailored, making him even more enchantingly charming and adding a few more touches of unbridled wildness!

  A face, with features as beautiful as a god, between the eyebrows, is full of noble and charming aura, a pair of slightly raised peach blossom eyes, at any moment, seems to be emitting electromagnetic waves, and it's super strong, just need him to glance slightly, I'm afraid it will attract countless crazy bees and butterflies.

  Just as Han Xi Tong was thinking in his heart, Yang Lie looked at Han Xi Tong and heard his words, but only quietly looked at him, with a raised eyebrow.

  "What's wrong?"

  "Hehe... never mind, I just think the emperor didn't give you a wrong name, Cui Yang Lie, Lie, En, it really suits you! Alright then, from now on I'll call you Lie!"

  Han Xi Tong stretched out her hand to rub the small, smooth chin, laughing with rosy lips and white teeth, shining brightly. The smiling eyes were filled with a clean and clear light, making people feel comfortable.

  For the first time, Han Xi's gentle smile towards him made Yun Yang's heart skip a beat, with a hint of excitement and joy.

  The smile at the corner of his mouth was faint, with a hint of satisfaction, revealing a row of white teeth, but without giving people a frivolous feeling.

  Then he reached into his sleeve and pulled out something, tossing it to Han Xi Tong who was sitting by the stream. Han Xi Tong was also quick-witted and caught it with her hand, only to find that Xuan Yang Lie had thrown her an apple. Her face slightly stiffened, but she didn't pretend to be coy, instead washing it with the creek water before taking a bite.

  The crisp sweetness at the entrance made Han Xi's eyes and eyebrows soften, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curve into a satisfied smile. As she sat by the stream eating an apple, she watched the sunset in the west, her small white feet still soaking in the water, occasionally stirring up ripples, revealing her elegant demeanor.

  Yang Lie saw it, and smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to lift the hem of his clothes, sat down beside Han Xi Tong's position, then took off his shoes and socks, and soaked his feet in the water like Han Xi Tong.

  Then he pulled out another apple from his sleeve and ate it.

  At that moment, the two of them quietly ate their apples while admiring the beautiful sunset. They tacitly didn't say a word, as if they didn't want to break the warm atmosphere of the moment.

  Moreover, both of them were astonished in their hearts. It turned out that they could also get along so quietly, no longer being on pins and needles whenever they met like before, fighting each other to the death.

  The sun slowly sets in the west and finally disappears completely in the west.

  The night is enchanting, and the bright moon is increasingly radiant.

  Those stars in the sky, every night they are the protagonists, making the night even more enchanting.

  After watching the sunset and night view, the surroundings became more quiet, except for the occasional sounds of unknown animals coming from the forest, it was just Han Xi Tong and Jing Yang Lie eating apples.

  Han Xi Tong didn't know how many apples Xiang Yang Lie had hidden on him, she only knew that every time she finished eating an apple, he would magically pull out another one for her.

  Until she had eaten about four, he also ate almost as much as himself. However, after finishing eating, he reached into his sleeve and pulled out something, making it seem like his sleeve was a treasure trove, which made Han Xi's eyes widen in curiosity.

  Blinked in surprise, gazed at Xiang Yang Lie's sleeve, and opened his lips to speak.

  "How many apples did you bring on you?!"

  "Not much, how about you, want some more? Here."

  When Yang Lie heard Han Xi Tong's words, he mistakenly thought she wanted to eat again, so he stretched out his hand and rummaged through his sleeve once more, pulling out a bright red apple which he handed over in front of Han Xi Tong.

  "Uh..."

  Han Xi Tong was speechless the moment he saw it, looking at the apple handed over by Xuan Yang Lie. The apple wasn't big, but not small either. Looking at Xuan Yang Lie's body, which had a surprising number of apples on him, Han Xi Tong couldn't help but curiously ask.

  "Anything else?"

  "Should be none left, right?"

  Yang Lie saw Han Xi's eyes staring at the apple in his palm, but he didn't take it, and instead had a speechless expression on his face, suddenly feeling somewhat puzzled.

  "What's wrong?"

  "Do you carry so many apples on your body every day?"

  Han Xi's eyes slanted as she sized up Xun Yang Lie's sleeve.

  The clothing design of Tianxuan Imperial Court has extremely wide sleeves, but it's quite surprising that he can hide so many apples in them.

  When he heard Han Xi Tong's words, Xuan Yang Lie finally understood why her face was so gloomy. His handsome face involuntarily contorted, and he dryly laughed.

  I like eating apples.

  So every day I carry a lot with me, but sharing an apple with others and eating my own separately is a first!

  After hearing Yang Lie's explanation, Han Xi only responded with an "oh" to show she understood, then took the apple from his hand and finished it in a few bites. Finally, still feeling a bit unsatisfied, she licked the juice off her lips, turned around and blinked her bright eyes at Yang Lie, her meaning very clear.

  At this, Jingyang Lie couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh, and with a flourish of his sleeves, he gestured and said.

  "This time it's really gone."

  "Really?"

  Han Xi's eyes narrowed slightly, feeling a bit skeptical. After all, she had just seen Xuan Yang Lie constantly pulling out apples from his sleeves, as if he was performing magic tricks. Now that he wasn't doing it anymore, she couldn't help but feel a little unaccustomed to it.

  And she really wants to eat more! Although, they have already eaten five. However, the apple that Yang Lie brought earlier was really sweet and left her with a lingering aftertaste.

  Her small mouth involuntarily pursed slightly, her delicate eyebrows lightly furrowed, as if she was somewhat regretful.

  However, at this moment, she had a few points of coquettish and charming expression, falling into the eyes of the man in front of her, making his heart beat like a drum, his heartbeat accelerated, and a pair of narrow peach blossom eyes didn't know whether it was due to the moonlight or something else, became dim.

  Staring straight at the delicate and lovely young woman in front of him.

  At this moment, the moon is above the willow branches, and its bright color is like a thin layer of gauze, slowly covering the entire earth, and gently sprinkling on the girl's body. This makes the girl even more enchanting and beautiful, with an indescribable charm.

  The wind gently lifted the girl's sleeves, her long hair, occasionally a few mischievous strands blowing across her cheek, would be gently tucked behind her ear by her hand.

  Revealing that beautiful small face with a silvery glow, becoming more and more blurred but making people want to get closer.

  A delicate face like a melon seed, eyebrows like a new moon, a nose as white as jade, beautiful eyes rolling between, born with a coquettish charm, red lips pouting, wanting to speak but hesitating...

  Such a peerless beauty, even saints would be unable to hold themselves back!

  What's more, he is just an ordinary person!？

  At this point, Jingyang Lie only felt his mouth and tongue dry, his throat rolling, a pair of deep eyes flashing for a moment, as if he had thought of something.

  Suddenly, Jingyang Liet's mouth hooked up, revealing a smug and mischievous smile, as if savoring the moment, he said slowly.

  "Actually, I have another fruit on me, but I'm not giving it to you, I'll save it for myself to eat later!"

  "Great selfishness! You actually ate alone!"

  When Han Xi heard Yang Lie's words, she believed them to be true and immediately frowned and scolded him with a burst of angry words.

  At the sight of Yang Lie, he suddenly felt wronged and looked down, making excuses for himself.

  "How selfish! Didn't I just give you a lot of food earlier? Can't you leave some for me to eat as a midnight snack?"

  Xu Yanglie's face looked quite aggrieved, but Han Xi didn't buy it at all. A hint of a sinister cold smile played on the corner of his mouth as he slanted a glance at Xu Yanglie once more.

  "Are you going to give it to me or not?!"

  His tone was calm and gentle, but it had a threatening power that could force a good housewife to surrender. As soon as Yang Lie saw him, he immediately deliberately covered his sleeves and moved his body back a bit, as if afraid of Han Xi Tong snatching them away.

  Han Xi Tong saw him covering his sleeves and naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity, so he pounced on Xuan Yang Lie with a tiger pounce, knocking him to the ground. His hands quickly searched Xuan Yang Lie's body.

  In fact, Han Xi Tong didn't particularly want to eat that apple, but thought the atmosphere was pretty good at the moment, and saw Xing Yang Lie protecting that apple as if it were a treasure, so she teased him. But unexpectedly, from the very beginning, she had been played by Xing Yang Lie...

  Because what he said just now was true, the apples on him had been eaten long ago. He said that just now, waiting for Han Xi to throw herself into his arms!

  That warm and fragrant feeling was really great, although he was knocked to the ground by Han Xi Tong, but Yang Lie felt extremely comfortable.

  Yang Lie was directly knocked to the ground by Han Xi's pounce, his eyes filled with amusement as he gazed at the girl who had been toyed with, her soft small hands constantly searching his body.

  He thought he was just teasing Han Hui with everyone else, but when Han Hui's soft fingers kept moving on his body, he inadvertently triggered his most primitive...

  After all, which man can remain unresponsive when being touched like that by a woman? That man must be abnormal!

  And he was naturally not an abnormal man, and he was in his prime. Before long, he knew that the joke had gone too far. And there was a bit of a taste of playing with fire.

  "Hey, stop it, no way, I was just kidding you earlier!"

  Because his emotions had been stirred up, Yang Lie's voice was slightly hoarse as he tried to stop Han Xi Tong from continuing, or else he feared he would lose control of himself.

  However, he just said that with his mouth, and didn't lift a hand to stop it, because at this moment, he wanted something to happen, but also wanted to suppress his own emotions, and was very conflicted inside, but still had to put on a show of advising.

  If she doesn't listen and something happens afterwards, isn't she also responsible?!

  Unfortunately, Han Xi Tong didn't believe his words at this moment, especially when she reached out with her small hand and seemed to touch something, her heart filled with joy, a triumphant smile playing on her lips. She was about to say something, but suddenly, as if thinking of something else, she froze like a thunderbolt, her whole body stiffening. Then, her small hand withdrew, and she quickly flipped over from Yang Lie's body and sat back in her original position, her feet splashing water, kicking up several waves, seemingly trying to calm herself down.

  Because just now she seemed to have touched something she shouldn't have.

  That thing is round and has two...

  Good heavens! If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have gone crazy with this man. She just wanted to play around with him at first, but who knew...

  The more she thought about it, the more Han Xi wanted to die!

  But he had a puzzled expression on his face.

  Looking at Han Xi who was just rummaging through his body and suddenly left, the weight on his body lightened, but he felt that his heart had emptied...

  And also, it's a bit inexplicable. Just now, wasn't that little girl playing happily? Why did she stop again!?

  She also lowered her head and pretended to kick water droplets at this moment, seemingly trying to cover up some sort of awkwardness...

  The more he thought about it, the more puzzled and confused Yu Yang Lie became, his eyebrows furrowed in concern. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, his narrow peach blossom eyes quickly flashed with a hint of playful smile.

  Good heavens, she can't be thinking that...

  Xing Yang Lie's heart was laughing so hard that his intestines were almost tied in knots. He knew Han Xi Tong had misunderstood something, but he didn't immediately speak out, instead wanting to tease her a bit.

  Who made this little woman so bold and reckless, previously he had suffered not a few losses at her hands. Thinking of this, Jingyang Lie deliberately used a tone that was both embarrassed and cautious to quietly probe and ask.

  "What exactly did you just touch?!"

  "No!"

  Upon hearing Yang Lie's words, Han Xi immediately spoke up. Only after finishing did she realize that her response was too hasty, having a somewhat guilty tone to it, and her pretty face involuntarily contorted in embarrassment.

  It was as if her face was scalded by boiling water, and Han Xi believed that her face must be extremely red at this moment.

  Fortunately, there was the cover of night at this moment, otherwise she would have had to jump into the creek and not dare to see anyone again, because it was too embarrassing.

  I knew I shouldn't have messed with him. Now that it's done, why does he still need to bring it up? It's making both of us feel super awkward.

  Just as Han Xi Tong was muttering to herself, Jing Yang Lie looked at her sparkling eyes and knew what she was thinking of writing. He couldn't help but secretly laugh in his heart. However, on his handsome face, he presented a sorrowful and resentful expression, making it seem like Han Xi Tong had wronged him.

  "You're lying, you obviously touched something! Honestly, if you've touched it, just admit it, it's not like it's something shameful."

  Han Xi's eyes were completely speechless at Xing Yang Lie's words.

  What's wrong with something that isn't supposed to be seen, when it's clearly something that shouldn't be seen in the first place?!

  He's always been a ladies' man, and people have seen it so many times that they would say something like this.

  Thinking of this possibility, Han Xi's gaze towards Xiang Yang Lie was involuntarily filled with contempt.

  "Can't you just let it see the light of day?!"

  "That's natural, I take it out every night to have a good look and appreciate it, that thing is beautiful, my treasure..."

  Look at that guy's Jingyang Lie said more and more intoxicated, Han Xi's forehead was filled with invisible black lines, the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

  She had seen narcissistic people before, but she had never seen anyone as narcissistic as him!

  He can actually say that to a woman on the spot, and still manage to keep a straight face, with an expression of being completely absorbed in his own words. Good grief, this man is simply outrageous.

  Han Xi Tong couldn't take it anymore, she didn't dare guarantee that if she continued to listen, she wouldn't have the urge to violently beat up this man again.

  Who knew, that guy's Yang Lie was just getting started, and he even said he wanted to take it out and show Han Xi Tong, with a look like he was showing off his treasure. This time, Han Xi Tong couldn't stay calm, her eyes widened and she took a sip from her cup.

  "Stop! You pervert, I don't want to see your precious thing! Are you disgusting or what? Pervert!"

  "Girl, how can you talk like that? Who's disgusting and perverted now!? I was kind enough to want to show you my treasure, but others wanted to see it and I didn't even want to show them!"

  That guy's words of indignation and resentment, it seems that Han Xing Tong was too ignorant. Suddenly, he seemed to be infuriated, Han Xing Tong didn't want to look, but he insisted on fighting back, and his hands immediately reached for his waist.

  Han Xi Tong took a look and thought he was going to pull down his pants and take out that thing, so she immediately closed her eyes, her face turning red with embarrassment.

  Although she had seen a man's lower body before, when this man suddenly dropped his pants, her conditioned reflex was to close her eyes immediately, not wanting to see anything dirty.

  His mouth was even more furious, constantly scolding and cursing, only missing the other party's ancestors for ten generations.

  Who knew that after she scolded for a long time, she didn't hear the other party respond at all, which made Han Xi's eyes doubt.

  "Hey, why aren't you talking?"

  Could it be that this pervert knew he was too perverted and didn't dare show his face again!?

  In her mind, Han Xi's eyes couldn't help but be curious for a moment, so she slightly opened her eyes to take a peek, thinking that she would just take a quick look. But when she saw the scene in front of her, her slightly narrowed eyes suddenly widened, and her pupils were filled with shock and astonishment.

  They were the size of two eggs, night pearls that were currently emitting a soft yellow beautiful glow, quietly laid on the large hands of Jing Yang Lie, illuminating the surroundings.

  It also clearly captured the expression of the man in front of her. Especially the hint of sly and triumphant smile at the bottom of his eyes, which made Han Xi immediately understand.

  "You're kidding me?!"

  He just deliberately misled her to think in that direction, with the intention of fooling her!

  Knowing this, Han Xi's eyes widened in anger, and her eyes were jumping with two clusters of vigorous little flames. If a gaze could kill someone, the man would have been skinned alive by her.

  Facing Han Xi's furious and explosive gaze, Jing Yang Lie smiled awkwardly.

  "Hehe, it's your mind that's impure, that's why you're thinking crookedly!"

  Xing Yanglie's face was full of nonsense, making Han Xi's eyes narrow and grit her teeth.

  "Damn bastard, I'm going to kill you!"

  Han Xi Tong's face turned red with anger, her eyebrows furrowed in rage, her teeth clenched tightly, and her cheeks puffed out like a small lioness about to pounce on its enemy.

  However, seeing Han Xi Tong's furious appearance now, Xuan Yang Lie found it incredibly cute.

  Because, having lived for twenty years, there have been countless women around me, but most of those women only present a demure appearance in front of me, gentle yet unreal, like a beautiful wooden puppet.

  However, this woman in front of him was different.

  Her expression is rich, and her emotions are all written on her face. People like this seem the most genuine, and it makes him love without reservation.

  At this moment, looking at Han Xi's furious pounce towards him with her eyes blazing, Yang Lie simply laughed loudly, not fearing her anger in the slightest.

  Perhaps he was waiting for Han Xi Tong to throw herself into his arms again!

  Just as Han Xi's eyes were about to reach out and pinch Xing Yanglie's neck, suddenly, her small foot soaking in the water transmitted a sharp pain, as if something had bitten it, making her involuntarily exclaim "Ah yo".

  A small face that was originally full of anger also scrunched up together due to the stinging pain on her little foot. As they lifted up the painful little foot to take a look, the two who were originally frolicking suddenly gasped in surprise.

  Under the illumination of the night pearl, only a shallow tooth mark was seen on the little toe of Han Xi's right foot, and fresh blood was constantly oozing out. At a glance, it was clear that she had been bitten by a snake, but it was unknown whether the snake was venomous or not.

  Han Xi Tong only felt that the wound was very painful and she was also somewhat frightened.

  Because she was bitten by a small snake in the orphanage when she was young, fortunately, the venom of that snake was not strong, but it made her foot swell like a pig's hoof, and it took a whole month to recover.

  As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, for three years one fears the rope of a well. Now looking at the obvious wound on her toe from being bitten by a snake, Han Xi's small face turned completely white in an instant.

  Jingyang Lie looked at Han Xi Tong, his face stunned for a moment, then without thinking, he stretched out his hand and pulled over Han Xi Tong's injured foot, lowered his head and sucked on her injured toes, intending to suck out the poison.

  If saying that Han Hui was shocked to learn that she had been bitten by a snake, then seeing Xiang Yang Lie take two steps forward without saying a word and ignoring whether the wound was poisonous or not, bowing his head to suck out the poison for her, was like an atomic bomb, completely stunning her.

  A pale little face was instantly covered with a layer of incredulity and astonishment.

  Because this man is actually the fourth prince of the Tianxuan Empire, with such a noble status, he's now sucking out the poison from her foot?

  Didn't he know that if this snake was really venomous, he would be in danger of losing his life.

  And before this, they had always been at odds with each other, hadn't they? But why is he doing something so reckless for himself now!?

  At this moment, Han Xi's eyes were confused. She really wanted to ask him why, but she knew that asking now was not the right time, fearing that he would be distracted later and inhale the poison.

  Han Xi Tong simply sat there quietly, silently watching the man in front of her who was concentrating on getting high for her.

  And at this moment, Han Xi's eyes were also sizing up the man with a re-evaluating gaze.

  This is a very young man, in fact, if you count his actual age, she is two years older than him.

  A face that is unparalleled in its beauty, so good-looking that one can't help but stare.

  His eyebrows were thick and dense, and the space between them often revealed a proud and unruly expression, like a wild horse that no one could tame.

  At this moment, his good-looking eyebrows were almost furrowed into a river.

  Those narrow and long peach blossom eyes, often slightly narrowed, with a charming and enchanting expression, just one glance is enough to make all the women fall under his feet.

  But at this moment, his eyes overflowed with concern that he couldn't hide, which made her heart skip a beat, and she realized that this man also cared about her so much.

  As for this point, Han Xi's eyes widened in surprise, and her heart also surged with a inexplicable wave of emotion...

  Looking at the man's good-looking, sensitive thin lips again, they were now holding his own toes. Although the wound was still painful, Han Xi felt his warm tongue tip brushing against her wound, a stinging, painful, slightly scalding, yet slightly numb feeling.

  It was as if a thread of electricity had passed through her entire body from the toe that he held in his mouth, making her whole body tingle. She also gradually realized that the injured toe didn't hurt so much anymore.

  Moreover, a hint of shyness welled up in her heart, and immediately, Han Xi's eyes darted to Xuan Yang Lie as she reached out to gently tug on his sleeve, speaking softly.

  "Hey, okay, I found that my toes don't hurt so much anymore, this snake is actually non-venomous..."

  When Xuan Yang Lie heard Han Xi Tong's words, he spat out all the blood in his mouth, rinsed it with creek water, and then picked up the night pearl to lift her injured small foot for a closer look. Seeing only two shallow tooth marks left on it, the wound was not deep, but Xuan Yang Lie also didn't dare to be careless, so he lifted his face and said to Han Xi Tong in a serious tone.

  "Although this snake seems to be non-venomous, let's hurry back and have the imperial physician take a look at you."

  Xuanyang Lie finished speaking, then let Han Xi Tong hold the Night Pearl, and he himself squatted down in front of Han Xi Tong.

  Han Xi Tong took a glance, and at first, she didn't react. She only saw Yang Lie turning his head, furrowing his brow, and speaking to her.

  "Hurry up and come on, I'll carry you back."

  A hoarse voice, with an undeniable relationship, in this hazy night color so sentimental, there is such a moment, Han Xi Tong feels that Xuan Yang Lie at this moment is like the prince in a fairy tale.

  He's really handsome!

  She didn't hesitate either, stretching out her hands to slowly hook around his neck, pressing her entire body against his broad back, letting him carry her, and then, under the illumination of the night pearl, she ran swiftly towards the camp.

  Xingyang Lie returned to the camp in less than a moment because he had used his lightness skill.

  On the way, they met You Er again. It turned out that You Er had stomach cramps earlier when he was blowing wind for Han Xi Tong and went to find a place to relieve himself, only to return now and see Xuan Yang Lie carrying Han Xi Tong with a serious expression, which made him worried.

  Han Xi Tong could only tell her what had just happened, with the intention of not wanting to worry her. Who knew that Xiao Yatou immediately became frightened and pale after hearing it, and hastily went to find the imperial physician.

  Because she knew something was wrong, Yang Lie had just sent her back to the newly built tent when Xun Xiao Ran and Xun Tian Qi hurried over, even dragging along the elderly Li Yu Yi in their haste.

  Poor Li Yu physician, old and venerable, came into the tent, his breath still not calm, under the anxious gaze of the three men, he felt pressure, and hastily began to examine Han Xi's wound.

  After finishing the inspection, he finally let out a sigh of relief, stretched out his sleeve and wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead.

  "It's just a minor wound, miss. I think the snake that bit you is just an ordinary water snake, no big deal. As long as we apply some medicine, it'll heal in less than two days. Everyone, don't worry."

  When they heard Li Yu's words, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

  Especially Jingyang Lie, it wasn't until now that he wiped the fine sweat on his forehead with his hand, and his originally tense expression didn't completely relax until he heard Li Yu's words.

  Han Xi Tong saw this, her eyes involuntarily flickered, and there was a hint of gratitude in her eyes. At this moment, Jing Yang Lie also raised his head to look at her.

  For a moment, the four eyes met, and both faces were stunned. Then, Han Xi was the first to react, and he said sincerely to Xuan Yang Lie.

  "Thanks so much just now."

  "Hehe, as long as you're fine, that's all that matters."

  Hearing Han Xi's apology, Xuan Yang Lie's mouth hooked up, and the smile on his face was enchanting and good-looking, but no longer had the former frivolous and demonic charm.

  However, just as the two of them were smiling at each other, they didn't notice the puzzled and bewildered gazes of the other two people inside the tent.

  These two people were naturally Xing Xiao Ran and Xing Tian Qi. After all, they knew that Han Xi Tong and Xing Yang Lie had never gotten along, and just seeing how Han Xi Tong had ruthlessly pushed Xing Yang Lie's head into the water last time was enough to know how much Han Xi Tong disliked Xing Yang Lie. But now, they saw that these two people were actually getting along so harmoniously, and earlier it was even Xing Yang Lie who personally carried Han Xi Tong back...

  What exactly happened between them during this time, nobody else knew except for the people involved.

  However, looking at Han Xi Tong and Jing Yang Lie's smiling faces, Jing Tian Qi was only puzzled, but beside her, Jing Xiao Ran's phoenix eyes slightly narrowed, with a hint of thoughtfulness flashing in her eyes...
