Huo Jianhong was so angry that she ran away, crying her eyes out as she did so.

"It seems our Comrade Ling has also learned how to reject persistent women," Ye Zhaoyu teased.

"Isn't it because I'm afraid you'll get jealous and turn around and want a divorce?" Ling Yunjue said ambiguously, holding Ye Zhaoyu against his chest.

Ye Zhaoyu's slender fingers traced Ling Yunjue's sexy Adam's apple, landing on his chest. She grabbed his clothes, pulled his head down, and said in an ambiguous tone, "This is like the sky about to rain red blood, and an iron tree about to flirt with a girl."

After saying that, he pushed the person away and left quickly.

The muscles under his hands were too strong; she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to control her desires and would end up having sex with him.

It's all because male beauty is too tempting.

Ling Yunjue watched Ye Zhaoyu run away. She was such a wildcat, teasing him and then running away.

After dinner, Ye Zhaoyu wrote down the antidote for the mute medicine and handed it to Ling Yunjue, saying, "Here, Tieshu, this is the antidote for the mute medicine."

Ling Yunjue took the prescription and instructed her subordinates to prepare the medicinal herbs.

“We have about 10 days left before we leave. If you want to go into the mountains to collect herbs during this time, you can go. We don’t know when we’ll come back next time.” Ling Yunjue told Ye Zhaoyu about their departure time. She had always wanted to go into the mountains to collect herbs but never had the chance. Now she has 10 days to collect them at her own pace.

"I understand, I'll go tomorrow." Ye Zhaoyu was happy at the thought that she had ten days left to go and gather herbs.

This place has a good geographical location and many rare medicinal herbs. It would be even better if we could dig up some rare and precious herbs.

Ten days would be enough for her to go into the mountains and search slowly.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhaoyu started preparing her things for going into the mountains; it was inconvenient not having a tent.

"Comrade Ling, can you get a tent? I want to go into the mountains for ten days and then come out again." Ye Zhaoyu explained her plan.

"What? You're going to stay in the mountains for ten days? Do you want me to be a widower? You can't stand to see me doing well," Ling Yunjue said angrily.

What the hell? Their marriage was a sham from the start.

"Aren't you overthinking this? It's just going into the mountains to dig for herbs. What does it have to do with whether you're a widower or not?" Ye Zhaoyu didn't understand why Ling Yunjue was angry, and continued to explain, "I used to go to the mountains with my mother to collect herbs. We would stay for ten days or half a month at a time, and the longest we ever went was a month. There's nothing wrong with that! Why are you so angry!"

It will be another month before we come down the mountain.

"There are wolves, tigers, black bears, and slippery snakes in these mountains. Aren't you afraid?" Ling Yunjue asked Ye Zhaoyu, trying to scare her away. She could just gather resources on the outskirts of the mountain each day.

“What’s there to be afraid of? My mom has killed all of these things with me. I’ve even eaten bear paws and snake meat. Snake meat is delicious, snake gallbladders can be used to treat illnesses and save lives, and snake venom can be collected to protect ourselves or to save others. It would be even better if we could catch them.” Ye Zhaoyu didn’t understand why anyone would be afraid of these things.

Ling Yunjue stared into Ye Zhaoyu's eyes and understood that she was serious and genuinely unafraid.

Aunt Ye, how did you raise your daughter? She's so fierce and fearless.

"Then go ahead, be careful. I'll have two people accompany you tomorrow and bring you a tent while they're at it." Ling Yunjue said before heading out to make the arrangements.

Unable to dissuade Ye Zhaoyu, he could only agree.

Ye Zhaoyu wanted to say that there was no need for anyone to follow, but if Ling Yunjue went far away, that would be fine too. Having someone follow would allow them to dig up more medicinal herbs, so she didn't dwell on it.

Ye Zhaoyu began preparing medicine kits for herself, and also filled all the possible hiding places for medicine in her clothes.

Then he took a flexible tube and tied it to his arm.

The tube is 60 centimeters long and about 0.5 centimeters wide, filled with medicinal powder. She has five such tubes. She used one at the bottom of the cliff, and has four left. She will use one more when she goes into the mountains this time, so that she can administer the medicine at any time.

Ye Zhaoyu had more than 20 places on her body where she hid medicine, in addition to the silver needles at her waist.

I feel very safe.

And so, there was no danger in going into the mountains.

When Ling Yunjue returned, Ye Zhaoyu was already asleep.

Only a dimly lit oil lamp remained.

The three women were sleeping next door, while Ye Zhaoyu rested with Ling Yunjue.

Since we've already slept together for so long, there's no fear of continuing to sleep together, just like there's not much difference between a second and third marriage.

Looking at Ye Zhaoyu's peaceful sleeping face, Ling Yunjue thought to himself that people are more obedient when they are asleep.

Ling Yunjue gently kissed Ye Zhaoyu's forehead before washing up, getting into bed, and holding Ye Zhaoyu to sleep.

I just slept.

It's not surprising that Ye Zhaoyu woke up to find herself sleeping in Ling Yunjue's arms; Ling Yunjue wouldn't stand up if he wasn't interested in a woman.

Otherwise, if he were holding such a beautiful woman, he should have already taken advantage of her. How could he remain unmoved? To be honest, this kind of man is quite good, but he just doesn't click with her.

Ye Zhaoyu secretly slipped her hand inside Ling Yunjue's clothes, touching his abs, and continued sleeping. She knew nothing; her hand had its own thoughts, and it had nothing to do with her.

When Ye Zhaoyu woke up, Ling Yunjue already knew. He wanted to see what she was doing, but he didn't expect that the woman would just touch his abdomen and then be gone.

Why was there no follow-up?

Ling Yunjue thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out. She got up and resigned herself to cooking for others.

Ye Zhaoyu took a nap for more than an hour before waking up.

"Good morning, Comrade Ling." Ye Zhaoyu greeted Ling Yunjue.

"Good morning," Ling Yunjue replied calmly.

"Who made you angry so early in the morning? I'll go beat her up for you." Ye Zhaoyu asked Ling Yunjue, noticing his particularly sour face.

Ling Yunjue stared at Ye Zhaoyu with a wronged expression, without saying a word.

"If you don't speak, it means you can't bear to hit her. I'm full. When will my tent arrive?" Ye Zhaoyu saw that she had finished breakfast and didn't say anything. Getting up the mountain was the priority.

Seeing that Ye Zhaoyu had so easily let the matter pass, Ling Yunjue was only thinking about going up the mountain.

"Wait." He uttered two words coldly.

Ye Zhaoyu didn't understand why Ling Yunjue was angry; perhaps it was because her period was coming.

Don't mess with them, just sit quietly to the side and wait.

"Boss, sister-in-law, we're here." A spirited young man knocked on the door and came in.

"These two came into the mountains with you; their names are Lynx and Beard."

"Okay, thank you, Comrade Ling. Lynx, Beard, let's hurry into the mountains!" Ye Zhaoyu saw that the two of them each carried a tent, and two tents would be enough.

The remaining person can take turns keeping watch at night.

Ye Zhaoyu picked up the basket she had prepared and left first.

Good heavens, the man who's having his period has such a weird temper, she can't stand it.

Lynx and Beard quickly told Ling Yunjue, "Boss, we'll go with your wife first."

"Go ahead, go ahead. Remember to take turns cooking for her since she can't cook," Ling Yunjue instructed.

It's really maddening. I've fallen for someone who's clueless about love, and when I get angry, no one knows why I'm angry.

That's true, she's not grown up yet. After all, she's already 25, while he's only 23.

It's still quite young; we can raise it.
