Despite saying that, Qingqiu didn't relax at all. She threw herself into Jing Zhe's arms and whispered, "I know all that you're saying, but for some reason, I've been feeling uneasy and worried these past few days."

Qingqiu's actions and tone at that moment made her seem like a young girl. Jing Zhe hugged her and gently stroked her, feeling a sense of wonder, because what Qingqiu said was exactly what he had been feeling recently.

Before Baili Xingxing arrived today, Jing Zhe had been feeling uneasy for several days, but this feeling disappeared after hearing the news brought by Baili Xingxing.

He later analyzed that perhaps it was because he was always thinking about the Jinxi incident that he was restless. What made him most uneasy was the rebellion of the Prince of Jin. Now that this matter has been confirmed, he feels much better.

The current autumn season is probably similar.

"Third sister, have you forgotten that I have already entered the Grandmaster realm? Even if this is just an act, and even if they really wanted to rebel, with my level of cultivation, I wouldn't be afraid of them."

After listening, Qingqiu raised her head and stared intently at Jing Zhe, saying, "Even so, I'm still not at ease. I won't feel at ease unless I'm with you."

"..."

For Qingqiu, this was nothing short of a blatant declaration of love.

Ultimately, all she wanted was to be with Jing Zhe. They had been separated for so long, and even during this meeting, they hadn't had more than an hour to spend alone together, so Qingqiu naturally missed him.

Having figured this out, and seeing the increasing number of trees ahead, Jing Zhe picked Qing Qiu up in his arms. Qing Qiu no longer hesitated, reaching out to tightly hug Jing Zhe's neck, pressing her head against his chest, and letting him carry her forward.

Perhaps she was already mentally prepared for what was about to happen, and even a little excited.

"Third sister, have you ever heard of field battles?"

"I've heard of it."

Qingqiu paused for a moment, then immediately said, "I've not only heard of it, but I've encountered it quite often before."

"???"

Jing Zhe was stunned and immediately asked, "You encounter this often? Is it true or not, Third Sister?"

"Of course it's true! Every time I come out of the gate and go to various places to train, I often encounter bandits and brigands bullying the common people. So I have to chase them into the wilderness or mountains and subdue them—isn't that a kind of field battle?"

Qingqiu said earnestly.

"..."

"Wow!" Jing Zhe exclaimed after hearing it.

It turns out that Qingqiu's understanding of field battles and what he meant by field battles were completely different things! However, if one has not been exposed to new terms from another world, it is easy to mistakenly believe, like Qingqiu, that battles taking place in the wild are "field battles".

Jing Zhe chuckled and patted Qingqiu's shoulder, saying, "Third Sister, the kind of 'field battle' I'm talking about is different from the kind of 'field battle' you're talking about."

"How are they different?"

Qingqiu asked in confusion, "Are there any other field battles?"

"Of course."

Jing Zhe chuckled, then turned to look around. They had arrived at the northernmost part of Jiangling. The forests here were getting denser and more deserted. Through the trees, they could see the distant mountains. Further ahead should be the Qingyun Sect's base.

So Jing Zhe, carrying Qing Qiu, turned around and headed into the nearby woods. Upon seeing this, Qing Qiu immediately called out, "Zhe'er, stop! You're going the wrong way! This isn't the road to Qingyun Sect!"

Jing Zhe laughed and said, "Third Sister, we didn't go to the wrong place! Let's not go back to Qingyun Sect first. I'll take you to a battle in the wild first."

"Having sex in the wild? But there's nothing else here..."

As Qingqiu was speaking, she suddenly realized that something seemed wrong. Just then, she saw Jing Zhe tilting his head and looking at her with a mischievous smile.

"Third sister, today I'll show you what real field combat is all about!"

As he spoke, Jing Zhe reached out and touched Qing Qiu's bulging chest.

With the sky as their blanket, the earth as their bed, and flowers, grass, and trees as their bridal chamber, Jing Zhe and Qing Qiu began to stir and play around in this new home…

...

In fact, Qingqiu had already realized the truth after Jing Zhe uttered the final two words, "field battle".

If it were the original her, she wouldn't even be able to accept doing that kind of thing during the day, let alone having sex in the open. That's why she refused Jing Zhe's attempts to cause trouble at the Feng Family Restaurant a couple of days ago.

But now she has figured it out. Perhaps she has been holding back for too long and can't hold back any longer, or perhaps it's because Jing Zhe is leaving tomorrow and she doesn't want him to endure it for too long.

In the end, it's unclear who was more tolerant and who wasn't, but they ended up having a fierce battle in the wild, which lasted for almost an hour before stopping.

It must be said that it was fortunate that both of them practiced martial arts, and their levels were not low, especially Qingqiu. As a woman, if it were Zhang Xiaoyu, this battle would most likely not have started, or at least not lasted that long.

Because in the wilderness, although "the sky is the blanket and the earth is the bed", the ground is covered with newly grown grass and leaves. Not to mention the cold, the prickly feeling is unbearable!

Therefore, there is only one fighting posture. Imagine, a woman who does not know martial arts cannot stand bent over for even a quarter of an hour, let alone for nearly an hour, and she has to endure constant impacts. So only Jing Zhe and Qing Qiu can adapt to this high-level fighting posture.

After the battle ended, Jing Zhe sat with Qing Qiu in his arms for a while.

"Third sister, do you know what field combat is now?"

Qingqiu, nestled in Jingzhe's arms, didn't reply to his teasing, but instead gently bit his chest to express her displeasure.

Jing Zhe laughed heartily, then pointed to the place where the battle had just taken place and said to Qing Qiu, "Third Sister, where I lived when I was a child, there was a festival called Arbor Day. It's probably around this time. Although we didn't plant any trees, the flowers, plants, and trees here will definitely grow very well after Third Sister's watering!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Qingqiu blushed even more deeply.

Although the two did not lie on the ground, their feet kept moving, and they still managed to flatten the ground beneath their feet. The ground that had been flattened was now muddy, and it was this sight of the ground that made Qingqiu blush with embarrassment.

Then she bit at a certain spot again, just like when Jing Zhe bit her before, except that she used a lot of force, making Jing Zhe grimace.

"Are you going to talk or not?"

Qingqiu bit down for a while before letting go, then looked up at Jing Zhe and asked, "Do you dare to ask again?"

"I won't do it again, I won't do it again."

Jing Zhe quickly begged for mercy.

Qingqiu was finally satisfied: "You're quite clever!"

After saying that, she nestled in Jing Zhe's arms, and the two of them looked at the scenery that wasn't particularly beautiful, but which had a unique charm, and talked intimately.
