Chapter 135 I Wasn’t Afraid, But I Was Scared Again

But this time, no one questioned the princess's order.

It's getting dark.

The team of five hundred people went away, leaving only Yun Qingqing and Xiao Changheng behind.

There are also mountains of military rations piled up nearby.

Although Xiao Changheng was confused, he never showed any of it when someone was around, until now.

"What are you going to do next?" he finally asked.

Yun Qingqing turned around and faced the military rations that were almost enough to fill an entire training ground. He rubbed his brows and sighed:

"Go to bed first and talk in the morning."

Xiao Changheng: “…”

Yun Qingqing didn't care about his reaction. She stirred a nearby fire that had just been lit but had not yet burned out, added some firewood, and the fire started burning again.

Then she found several large bags of alfalfa from the hay pile, opened them and spread them on the ground to use as a bed.

Alfalfa is used as fodder for military horses. It is loose and soft and very suitable for making beds.

He then took out two thick cloaks from the space, spread one on the straw bed and kept the other as a cover.

She had not expected this situation when she set out. In the space, apart from her herbs, talismans and the like, there were only some daily clothes and these two cloaks.

Yun Qingqing had already thought about preparing some beds, bedding and other things in the space as soon as she returned, just in case of emergency.

After doing all this, she pointed at the straw bed:

"I can only let you down tonight, just make do with your sleep."

When she turned around, she saw a certain prince staring at her with a questioning look on his face.

Yun Qingqing pursed her lips somewhat lacking in confidence.

Although the large group of people slept in the wild every day along the way, there were soldiers responsible for setting up the tents. This was the first time they slept directly in the open air.

Xiao Changheng has always been very frugal in his daily life. Is he dissatisfied with the fact that she doesn't know how to set up a tent and that the bed she makes is too rough?

She suddenly felt annoyed when thinking about this. She took a deep breath and was about to have a good talk with him when she heard someone speak softly:

"Where do you sleep then?"

"Me? Ah..." The breath she had been holding suddenly deflated, and she pointed randomly at the pile of food and grass, "There are so many, I can just pile one more."

"Do you have more cloaks?" Xiao Changheng watched her produce two cloaks with her bare hands, and it was impossible not to be curious.

Yun Qingqing thought he felt it was not enough, so she frowned and said:

"These are the only two I have. You'll have to make do with them for the night."

Xiao Changheng's eyes deepened.

"Well, help me then."

Yun Qingqing was somewhat surprised. This man had always been arrogant and didn't really want help from others in his daily life.

But seeing that he did not raise any more objections, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and stopped thinking about it. She walked over and pushed the wheelchair to the side of the straw bed, helped him sit on it, and turned around to make another bed for herself.

But he grabbed her wrist.

Yun Qingqing turned around and raised her eyebrows:

"What happened again?"

"Don't go." The man looked at her deeply, his handsome face a little tense.

“…”

Yun Qingqing blinked:

"I'm not leaving. I'm just going to lay a ..."

"In this remote place, could you... please don't be too far away from me?" Xiao Changheng's eyes were deep, reflecting the light of the fire, which made her heart skip a beat.

Yun Qingqing looked at him for a moment and asked doubtfully:

"No way... didn't you say last time that you were not afraid of the dark?"

Xiao Changheng tightened his fingers slightly.

He did say that when she went to visit the charity cemetery at night in Jingguo.

"Ahem..." He frowned and said seriously, "I wasn't afraid at first, but when I saw you summon so many ghosts and stuff, I got scared again."

Yun Qingqing: ...

I always feel like this guy is talking nonsense.

But this man was truly arrogant to the core. If he had no other choice, she could not imagine that he would expose his weaknesses to others.

"Qingqing, don't go." Xiao Changheng's magnetic voice sounded softly, his dark eyes full of expectation.

Yun Qingqing pursed her lips and sighed:

"All right."

The haystack was spacious enough for the two of them to lie down side by side.

Xiao Changheng pulled the cloak over her and tried to cover her with it, but she held him back:

"I am immune to external evil, so I don't need this. Just cover it up."

As she spoke, she covered him tightly with the cloak, then lay down again and closed her eyes.

She had consumed a lot of spiritual energy in the past few days and her body was exhausted. In fact, she would catch up on sleep whenever she had time and had never had the problem of not being able to sleep.

But I was obviously tired at this moment, but for some reason I couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

"Qingqing..." A man's low voice suddenly sounded in my ears.

"Huh? What's wrong?" She didn't open her eyes, making her voice sound drowsy, as if she was about to fall asleep.

"I can't sleep..."

I don’t know if it’s because we are in the wilderness, but the man’s voice is particularly soft.

Yun Qingqing pursed her lips and said nothing.

The man next to her moved, and a big hand quietly held her hand.

Yun Qingqing opened her eyes suddenly and turned to look at him.

But Xiao Changheng had already closed his eyes, with a satisfied smile on the corner of his lips.

"I feel much more at ease this way, let's go to sleep." The man murmured softly, and then there was no movement.

Yun Qingqing: ...

There was a clear light flickering in her pupils, and her brows were furrowed tighter and tighter.

The causal line between the two of them, which she had been deliberately ignoring, was indeed gradually deepening, and the color...

After a long while, she sighed slowly.

Forget it. Now he is in a difficult situation and in the wilderness, so just let him be this time.

But once this crisis is over, this cannot continue.

Yun Qingqing made up her mind, turned her head and closed her eyes.

Strangely enough, she thought it would be difficult for her to fall asleep again, but listening to the even breathing beside her, the chirping of night insects, the sound of the breeze blowing through the leaves, and the warmth in her hands, she quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Yun Qingqing had a dream.

She was extremely familiar with the scene in the dream, it was her last memory of her previous life.
