Shangguan Hongyu always carried wound medicine with her, which was very effective at stopping bleeding, but the location of her injury was rather embarrassing.

Even with your back to the mirror, it's difficult to treat a wound.

Bian Lang was not at all reserved. He told Shangguan Hongyu to sit down and reached out to untie her sash.

"Brother Bian, I... I can do it myself." Shangguan Hongyu's voice trembled, and her ears were terribly red.

Bian Lang rebuked, "Don't be stubborn, you can't handle this position."

“I meant the sash.” Shangguan Hongyu’s face turned even redder.

Bian Lang was a little embarrassed, and said with a smile, "Then you do it."

Shangguan Hongyu loosened her belt and gently removed her clothes, revealing her fair and delicate shoulders.

She held onto her clothes with both hands to prevent them from slipping off completely.

Bian Lang carefully cleaned the wound, then applied medicine and bandaged it.

"Brother Bian, thank you." Shangguan Hongyu quickly got dressed.

Bian Lang smiled and said, "Sleep a little longer."

"Brother Bian, I'll go to Xishen Pavilion with you." Shangguan Hongyu was worried that Bian Lang would be nowhere to be found when she woke up.

She felt relieved when she saw Bian Lang nod.

Along the way, spending every day together, Shangguan Hongyu didn't know how she felt about Bian Lang, she only knew that she liked being with Bian Lang.

The thought of soon parting ways with Bian Lang made her heart ache as if it were being pierced by needles.

I lay in bed with my eyes closed, barely able to fall asleep.

Normally, Bian Lang would sleep until the afternoon, but that's when they're transporting corpses. Now they need to find Lei Bin to retrieve Luo Mo's remains, so it's best to travel during the day and rest at night.

Shangguan Hongyu got up very early, went to the kitchen, and personally made breakfast for Bian Lang.

Bian Lang got up very early as expected, eating and praising, saying that whoever married Shangguan Hongyu would be blessed with good fortune for eight lifetimes.

Seeing that Shangguan Hongyu always blushed in front of him, Bian Lang was certain that the girl had feelings for him.

...

Lei Bin brought Luo Mo's body home and told his wife, Tian Qingtong, to quickly pack their things and prepare to leave.

Tian Qingtong was washing clothes when she heard this and stared blankly.

"I don't need these clothes, just take a few changes of clothes." Lei Bin said as he entered the house, pried open the bricks in the corner of the wall, and took out gold, silver and valuables from inside.

Tian Qingtong entered calmly and asked, "Husband, what happened?"

"Don't ask, just do as I say." Lei Bin's face was extremely grim.

Tian Qingtong had never seen Lei Bin like this before. Knowing that the situation was critical, she immediately went to pack her clothes.

Tian Qingtong was pregnant and her body was heavy, so Lei Bin specially bought a horse-drawn carriage.

Without asking any questions, several days later, they arrived in the Southern Wilderness.

Tian Qingtong's brows were furrowed, and she hadn't spoken much these past few days, her mood extremely bad.

She hated damp places the most, and the Southern Wilderness happened to be an extremely damp place.

"My wife, I promise, this is only temporary, and we'll be home soon." During the break, Lei Bin handed Tian Qingtong a water bottle.

Tian Qingtong didn't answer, and coldly asked, "Husband, can you tell me what exactly happened now?"

"Wife, please don't ask, okay?" Lei Bin didn't want to say, simply because he didn't want to ruin his image in Tian Qingtong's eyes.

Tian Qingtong snorted coldly, turned around and got into the carriage.

"My lady, it's about to rain, we need to hurry." Lei Bin's voice was as gentle as ever.

When Lei Bin jumped onto the carriage, a light drizzle had already begun to fall.

Rain and mist spread over the distant mountains.

The mountains are verdant and the air is filled with the chirping of birds.

Lei Bin was in a very good mood.

Although the southern wilderness is uninhabited, it boasts beautiful scenery and is the perfect place for seclusion.

He believed that Tian Qingtong's dislike was only temporary, and that she would definitely come to like the place after living here for a while.

"Lei Bin, you said you would leave the underworld and live a good life with me." Tian Qingtong's heart was breaking. She didn't want to endure it any longer and decided to speak frankly.

Every day she does laundry, cooks, and takes care of household chores, all in an effort to make her life better with Lei Bin.

No matter how hard or tiring it was, she never complained and even enjoyed it.

Life is short, and the greatest happiness is to grow old with the one you love.

Lei Bin laughed and said, "We're going to go somewhere where no one can find us, and live a good life."

"What did you hide under the car?" Tian Qingtong asked bluntly.

Lei Bin's smile froze.

"Although I don't know what it is, I'm sure it's an ominous object," Tian Qingtong said coldly.

Lei Bin said, "How could it be an ominous object?"

"Isn't the thing that brought us death an ominous thing?" Tian Qingtong sighed.

Lei Bin did not answer, but instead brandished his riding whip.

The whip struck the horse's rump, and the horse, in pain, ran even faster.

The raindrops gradually grew larger and denser, pattering loudly on the roof of the carriage.

The weather is no longer suitable for continuing the journey.

Lei Bin noticed a pavilion ahead, so he reined in his horse and, holding an oil-paper umbrella, let Tian Qingtong enter the pavilion to rest.

Lei Bin then returned to the carriage and crouched down to feel around under it.

He searched for a long time but still couldn't find what he wanted.

“I threw that thing away a long time ago,” Tian Qingtong shouted from inside the pavilion.

Lei Bin was taken aback upon hearing this, and then rushed into the pavilion in a flash.

"Where did you lose it?" Lei Bin gripped Tian Qingtong's shoulders tightly, his face contorted with rage.

With pain in both shoulders, Tian Qingtong looked distressed and said reproachfully, "Lei Bin, you're hurting me."

"Where did you lose it?" Lei Bin roared.

Tian Qingtong smiled sadly and said faintly, "You really have changed."

Lei Bin suddenly let go, cleaved the rope with a single palm strike, and mounted his horse, galloping back the way he came.
