The first group to arrive at the tent during the southward migration were very skilled at setting out the food.

She raised her hand to Qin Yi, "Come and sit down."

Qin Yi walked over and sat down with a silent face, his gaze falling on the pork rib soup, his brows furrowing slightly. "I don't need any more tonics. Tell them not to make these separately anymore."

Nanqianyue dismissed it, saying, "No need for repairs? Your injury is healed? Let me see."

As she spoke, she stood up and reached out to pull at Qin Yi's shirt, deliberately getting very close.

Qin Yi's heart pounded again. Reason told him to stop Nan Qianyue's actions, but he couldn't lift his hand and let Nan Qianyue tear off his clothes.

The woman's sweet fragrance filled his lungs, and Qin Yi gripped his knees tightly with all ten fingers, his ears turning bright red.

"The scar has fallen off, but it still needs to be repaired to prevent the wound from not healing properly." Nan Qianyue pulled his clothes up and straightened up, her gaze sweeping over his bright red ears.

Nan Qianyue raised her eyebrows, stared at his face, and asked in a low voice, "Why are you shy again? Is it because you haven't been with a woman in a long time, or is it because you like me?"

Qin Yi's explanation came naturally: "I have never been in contact with any other women."

Nanqianyue smiled. "So you admit you're shy?"

Before Qin Yi could offer any excuses, Nan Qianyue continued, "Why are you in such a hurry to explain to me? What does it matter to me whether you've been in contact with other women?"

Nan Qianyue successfully saw Qin Yi's expression change, and he didn't even have the courage to look her in the eye.

She sat down casually and personally served Qin Yi a bowl of soup, saying, "Eat quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold."

Qin Yi picked up the soup bowl, swallowed it in a few gulps, and then picked up his chopsticks to eat heartily, his panicked expression barely concealed.

In contrast, Nanqianyue chewed slowly, glancing at Qin Yi every now and then.

"I still have military affairs to attend to. Please enjoy your meal."

He quickly wiped his mouth, got up, and tried to escape.

“Sigh~,” Nan Qianyue pressed his hand down, her eyes crinkling, “I haven’t finished asking yet.”

For Qin Yi, her touch was like an electric shock, sending a tingling sensation through his heart.

He avoided eye contact. "Whatever it is, we can talk about it after I'm done with my work."

"I'm going to say it now." Nan Qianyue grabbed his hand and wouldn't let go, her smile seemingly provocative, but her eyes were filled with coldness.

She said softly, "I've heard some rumors about you. A cold-faced war god? You're only concerned with protecting your country, incorruptible, and indifferent to matters of the heart. No woman can catch your eye. Your palace is still empty. Is that true?"

Qin Yi nodded almost unconsciously, "Yes, really." He even felt a little smug and expectant.

Nanqian Yue released his hand, her fingertips supporting her temples, and continued, gazing into his eyes:

“You dislike physical contact with women, yet you are willing to sit at the same table with me, letting me pull your belt, rip your clothes, and even scold and kick you without getting angry.”

"Besides, you get shy whenever I get close to you. You treat me so differently. Isn't that because you like me?"

Qin Yi was already flustered. He lowered his eyelids to hide the panic in his eyes.

"You are my savior, so naturally you are different from others," he said stubbornly.

Nan Qianyue's lips twitched, and she began to pry open his mouth more forcefully, "Oh? You're so tolerant of your savior, so if I hugged or kissed you, would you accept that?"

These words immediately caused Qin Yi's neck to turn bright red and his breathing to become disordered.

He slowly raised his eyes and stammered, "Of...of course, because you are my savior."

Nan Qianyue gritted her teeth and said, "Fine, then I won't be polite."

She suddenly stood up and stood next to Qin Yi, cupped his chin, and leaned down.

At the same time, Qin Yi gripped his clothes tightly with both hands, his heart pounding wildly.

When their lips were half an inch apart, Nan Qianyue stopped. She gazed into Qin Yi's dark eyes and said softly:

You don't actually think I'm going to kiss you, do you?

Qin Yi remained defiant, saying, "...That's your problem, I'll just cooperate."

Nan Qianyue stood up straight, a cold smile playing on her lips. "You, Qin Yi, you clearly have your eye on me, yet you use the guise of repaying a debt of gratitude to keep me by your side. You're so wicked and shameless!"

"You're trying to take advantage of me! I saved you, and now you want to possess me? You're too greedy!"

Qin Yi composed himself and slowly stood up. He said quite reasonably, "Nothing is more important than life. Even if you want to kill me, I will give you my life. Everything else... is trivial."

Nanqianyue was stunned; she couldn't refute it for a moment.

Qin Yi's eyes flashed, and taking advantage of her momentary daze, he strode outside.

"Stop right there!" Nan Qianyue realized that he was just using a fallacy to change things up.

Qin Yi kept walking, and Nan Qianyue, in her haste, pulled his belt off again.

She looked at the belt in her hand, her brows furrowed.

Damn it, how can you be so arrogant?!

Qin Yi stopped in his tracks, turned around and walked to Nan Qianyue, spreading his arms wide. "If you want to take off my clothes, then take them off."

He fully demonstrated his firm stance of allowing the Southern Migration Month to do whatever it wanted with him.

Nanqian Yue was exasperated and threw her belt at him, saying, "Who wanted to take your clothes off? You're delusional and hopeless!"

After saying that, she pushed him away and walked away quickly.

...The next day, Nanqian Yue got up very early.

She decided she couldn't just sit and wait to die; she had to go back to that valley and jump into the river to see if she could make her way back.

But she couldn't get out on her own, so she went to Bai Shu.

“Brother Bai, haven’t you been digging for dendrobium lately? I know where to find some, and there are plenty of them.”
