Qin Luo was clearly surprised that Dongfang Jinyao would make the first move. He only saw a blur before his arm was grabbed by that soft, boneless hand, and his body was involuntarily pulled forward.

Before he could react, the two were already very close. Dongfang Jinyao's cascading hair exuded a faint, sweet fragrance, stirring his heartstrings.

This surprised Qin Luo. How long had this girl been confined at home? In order to avoid being discovered, she had even disregarded the rules of propriety between men and women.

Seemingly sensing his unusual behavior, Dongfang Jinyao blushed and explained somewhat guiltily:

"Don't overthink it. I was forced into this situation. If Hua and that thief had noticed, we would both be in dire straits. At this moment, we can't afford to worry about formalities. Once this is over, you'd better forget about this whole thing, otherwise..."

At this point, she tried her best to put on a threatening look in her bright eyes, but her slightly trembling long eyelashes and the small gesture of unconsciously clenching the hem of her clothes revealed her inner tension.

Seeing her like this, Qin Luo couldn't help but smile, but he didn't dare to show it. He quickly nodded seriously and replied:

"Don't worry, young lady, I, Qin, will keep my mouth shut and will never dare to reveal anything."

Seemingly satisfied with his answer, Dongfang Jinyao gave a soft hum, but still couldn't help muttering something under her breath:

"That would be best."

At this moment, the sage's perception became even stronger, and the surrounding space was stirred up wantonly, making the air heavy and oppressive.

Seeing this, a glint flashed in Qin Luo's eyes. He lowered his head slightly, leaned close to Dongfang Jinyao's ear, and whispered with a hint of helplessness:

"Girl, you're using a bit too much force with your hands."

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Jinyao realized with a start that her fingertips had unknowingly dug into Qin Luo's arm. She quickly loosened her grip slightly, but then retorted defiantly:

"Hmph, who told you to use such an unreliable concealment talisman, causing me to lose my composure like this."

Although she said that, her eyes secretly glanced at the spot where Qin Luo had been grabbed, which was already slightly red, and she couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

Unbeknownst to him, as the force loosened, a faint wisp of spiritual energy seemed to emanate from Qin Luo's fingertips.

In an instant, the sage's senses swept over him once more in a frenzy.

The sudden change caused Dongfang Jinyao to let out a soft cry, and her hands instinctively grabbed Qin Luo again.

Seeing this, a hint of concern flashed in Qin Luo's eyes, and he took the opportunity to pull her light body into his arms.

At this moment, the two were truly joined together. Dongfang Jinyao could clearly feel the warm breath emanating from Qin Luo, which surrounded her and made her feel dizzy for a moment.

In that moment of tight embrace, Dongfang Jinyao's heart pounded like a deer's. She had never been so close to a man before, and she couldn't help but feel a surge of shyness.

A blush crept onto her cheeks, the shyness spreading from her cheeks all the way to her ears, burning intensely.

She wanted to push Qin Luo away slightly, but looking at the range of the concealment talisman, she dared not loosen her grip even a little. She could only let herself stay nestled in Qin Luo's arms, feeling both nervous and embarrassed, and for a moment she was at a loss.

Qin Luo noticed her unusual behavior and, seeing her flushed face, whispered in her ear:

“Young lady, the situation is critical right now, so don’t think too much. Once we’ve escaped this calamity, I, Qin, will definitely apologize to you.”

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Jinyao raised her head, her watery eyes filled with embarrassment and annoyance. She glared at Qin Luo reproachfully, but there was nothing she could do about it for the time being. So she bit her lower lip and nodded slightly.

Unfortunately, things seemed to have gone somewhat beyond Qin Luo's expectations. After that aura was leaked out, the saint's senses scanned the area for a long time but still hadn't given up, and the concealment talisman was almost completely burned out!

Seeing this, Dongfang Jinyao was thrown into turmoil. She clutched Qin Luo's clothes tightly, her voice filled with obvious panic:

"You...it's all your fault for that unreliable concealment talisman! It's only been a short time, and it's already about to lose its effectiveness. We're afraid we're going to be discovered!"

Qin Luo could only smile wryly at this. He hadn't expected this perception to be so persistent, and he quickly racked his brains for a way to break the deadlock.

Suddenly, a glint of light flashed in his eyes, as if he had thought of something.

"Young lady, I have a plan that might work. It just might require you to make do with a little something."

Upon hearing that there was a chance for things to turn around, Fang Jinyao quickly raised her head, her eyes filled with anticipation:

"What plan? Tell me quickly, it's better than sitting here and waiting to die."

Hearing this, a hint of hesitation appeared on Qin Luo's face. Seeing this, Dongfang Jinyao's heart tightened, and she anxiously urged him:

"Hurry up and say it! What time is it? Why are you still stammering like this!"

Qin Luo coughed lightly and said slowly:

"Miss, I apologize for the offense."

"What offense? Ah! You..."

A layer of dreamlike white mist rose around Qin Luo, rising gently as if carefully controlled, precisely surrounding only him.

Before Dongfang Jinyao could react, Qin Luo had already swept her up in his arms.

Dongfang Jinyao's eyes widened instantly, both shocked and furious. Just as she was about to reprimand him, Qin Luo leaned close to her ear and whispered:

“Please don’t worry, young lady. My white mist has the effect of concealing one’s aura, which can deceive the senses of that saint. Moreover, this is a last resort for me. The situation is urgent, so I hope you will understand. Once the danger has passed, I, Qin, will certainly apologize with a thorn in my side.”

"Moreover, this perception seems to have sensed something. If we linger here any longer, your 'enemy' might find us soon."

A warm breath brushed against Dongfang Jinyao's ear, causing her body to stiffen.

Although Dongfang Jinyao was annoyed, she understood her current situation and could only suppress her anger, biting her lower lip as she said:

"You'd better be really sure, because if you make even the slightest mistake, I won't let you off easily."

Qin Luo nodded, hugged Dongfang Jinyao tightly, and with a light step, his figure darted towards the cave entrance like lightning.

During the flight, Dongfang Jinyao could clearly feel those strong arms embracing her, and the warmth of his body seeped through her clothes, making her cheeks burn even hotter.

Her hands unconsciously gripped Qin Luo's clothes tightly, her eyes darting around in a panic.

With the beauty in his arms, Qin Luo darted out of the cave entrance, but when they reached a more open area outside, he suddenly stopped.

Dongfang Jinyao was puzzled and was about to ask a question when she heard Qin Luo ask softly:

"Miss, this place is not safe to stay for long. However, I am not familiar with this area. Do you know if you have a safe place to go?"

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Jinyao was taken aback, and after hesitating for a moment, she said:

“Go three hundred miles to the east, there should be a cliff. Once I get there, I will find a way to get rid of this sensation.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Luo looked meaningfully in the direction she indicated, then said nothing more, hugged Dongfang Jinyao tightly again, and sped off towards the east.
