But today he was a little restless.

There were too many things waiting for him, the king, to take control of, but the woman in front of him seemed completely unconcerned about her achievements, her indifferent and aloof expression unchanged.

“Ajin, I have ended the nomadic life of my people. We no longer need to live in tents. We also have magnificent palaces. I will leave the biggest and most beautiful one to you.”

Ah Jin, what do you really want? I've offered you the most precious things in the world, what is it that you truly desire?

By the end, the man was practically growling.

Jin Shu stopped what she was doing and looked at him.

"You know better than anyone that I only want one thing from beginning to end. How many times do you want me to repeat myself?"

What do you not like about me? I can change it.

Jin Shu sighed and continued.

"You think I stayed for so long without running away just to play hard to get with you?"

Don't forget the bet we made. In the end, all the horses I can take with me are mine.

Everything I'm doing now is for the final bet, not for you.

Jin Shu's sober words were like a bucket of ice water poured directly over Mu Han's head.

It chilled his burning heart to the bone.

His green eyes gradually darkened, revealing a hint of resentment.

“Ah Jin, I told you, in the end you won’t be able to take any of the horses with you.”

I personally delivered all these foals. They recognize me as their owner, the most powerful person on this grassland.

Ah Jin, although some of what I'm about to say may be cruel to you, it's the truth. There's an ironclad rule in the horse herd: always follow the strongest master.

Even if you spend every day and night with them, feeding and watering them, in the end, in their eyes you're just a good groom. A good horse will never recognize a groom as its master, you know?

The man stared at Jin Shu, trying to break down her defenses with facts.

He grew up on the grasslands and on horseback, taming so many wild horses. No one understands better than him what the most crucial factor is in gaining the approval of a good horse.

Jin Shu is a woman, a vulnerable woman.

Indeed, she possesses a composure and patience that other ordinary women lack. She is far superior to other women, like a dazzling pearl on the grassland.

But a pearl should always be held in the palm of your hand and protected. If you are obsessed with a wild horse, you will only be trampled into dust by its hooves in the end.

He respected her stubbornness and admired her persistence and yearning for strength.

But now that things have come to this, he can't let Jin Shu live in a hopeless fantasy forever.

"Ah Jin, what I just said may have hurt you, but I only want to say one last thing: stay by my side, all the horses you like are yours, I will protect you and make sure you never have to bow down to anyone again."

He knew Jin Shu's past and that she was a fake goddess abandoned by the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Mu Han didn't care about any goddesses or anything like that; he only cared about his own feelings.

From the very first glance, he knew that he only wanted Jin Shu for the rest of his life.

Despite the tense atmosphere, Jin Shu let out a laugh.

Her smile is truly like a profusion of blooming flowers, breathtakingly beautiful, so radiant and captivating that it makes one's heart flutter.

But at this moment, Mu Han couldn't help but feel nervous.

“Ah Jin…”

"So, I'm really annoyed by self-righteous people like you. What do you do now? Suddenly realize that all your previous efforts might be in vain, so you can't sit still anymore? You're angry?"

Jin Shu's flippant tone completely enraged Mu Han.

He stood up abruptly, his tall figure radiating a terrifying chill.

"Jin Shu, you shouldn't trample on my sincerity like this."

"Mu Han, you shouldn't insult me ​​like this."

insult?

Seeing the lifelessness in Jin Shu's eyes, Mu Han felt a sudden panic and became somewhat at a loss.

“Ah Jin, what I said before wasn’t meant to insult you, I just…”

"You just want to trample on me and belittle me? You just think deep down that I'm just a useless woman who only deserves to live off your whims?"

Mu Han, learn how to respect others before you love them. It's obvious you haven't learned how to love others yet.

Okay, don't you have a lot of things to do? Go do your work and don't waste your time here.

Jin Shu is not a hedgehog.

To wantonly trample on the kindness others have shown you.

But if this kindness comes with an insult or a sense of charity, then she is not worthy of it.

She shouldn't be angry about this, since anger would only cause her breast hyperplasia and wouldn't do her any other good.

Seeing that Jin Shu had regained her composure, Mu Han gave her a deep look, and said solemnly before turning to leave.

"Ah Jin, I'm willing to die for you."

"Okay, I understand, thank you."

Mu Han left, and the entire tent area became chaotic as everyone packed their belongings in preparation for moving to a more fertile area.

Perhaps sensing Jin Shu's obsession with horses, Mu Han didn't send anyone to keep an eye on her. Instead, he deployed a significant portion of the army's forces to move the horses from the stables.

It's easier to move the horses, since as long as Mu Han rides Han Ye in front, the herd of horses behind will naturally follow the horse king's pace.

But the pony was unexpectedly difficult to control. The most experienced groom had blindfolded the strongest white pony and pulled it forward with all his might, but the beautiful and strong pony's legs seemed to be embedded in the ground, and no matter how much he pulled or tugged, it wouldn't budge.

Mu Han, who was walking at the front of the group, was unaware of what was happening behind him. After all, the foals would follow the big horses, and as long as the big ones were kept in check, the smaller ones would naturally follow obediently.

Just then, the herd of horses behind them suddenly became restless. From the middle of the horses that had been obediently marching in a straight line forward, came a series of snorting and stomping sounds.

Mu Han sensed something was wrong with the horses and asked the groom for advice.

"What's wrong? Weren't you fed them enough hay before you set off?"

"Your Majesty, we fed them well last night, so they won't be hungry today. The sudden unrest in the horses means there's either danger ahead or behind. In any case, Your Majesty should be cautious."

Mu Han naturally knew.

Horse herds don't usually become agitated on a large scale, but with an endless grassland in front of them, and him leading so many magnificent and spirited horses, who would be so reckless as to lie in ambush ahead?

Meanwhile, in the rear, over a hundred ponies stood quietly behind the tallest and strongest white horse. The groom was anxious; if this delayed the king's arrival at the palace, he would lose his head no matter how many.

So he pulled out a pitchfork from behind his back and was about to stab Xiaobai hard in the hind leg.

Just then, a loud and long whistle came from the sky not far away.
