A tear slid down Nanzhi's cheek. This time, she didn't push him away. Instead, she hugged him tightly, raised her neck, and looked at him with trembling lips.

Mu Yao lowered his head and kissed her, their breaths mingling as they slowly caressed each other.

He thought he could relieve Nanzhi of the effects of the drug in one go.

But to my surprise, Nanzhi was still feeling unwell.

As he stood up, she hugged him from behind again, her little hands scratching at him all over.

Mu Yao's suppressed thoughts resurfaced, even more intensely than before, like a fire that could not be extinguished.

He turned around and embraced her as she struggled, showing no further tenderness...

Outside the cave, thunder rumbled and rain poured down.

The world was shrouded in darkness.

One of the guards found the place and saw the corpse on the ground.

In the rings of white light, her eyes almost lost focus.

What do you want?

Then recall what this woman said when they retreated into the cave.

The drug that Mu Yao was given was very potent; it took a long time to work and then flared up again.

Finally, things got worse and I got a little confused. I crawled out, but I had the strength to crawl back outside. I just collapsed on the ground and got soaked in the rain.

After tidying up a bit, Xue Shuang picked up the clothes that had fallen to the ground and tried to dry them with her internal energy before giving them to Mu Yao to wear.

Before I coaxed you to sleep, I completely covered you with my own clothes.

Mu Yao's relaxed demeanor, caused by the approach of the secret guards, caused Nan Zhi's thick eyebrows to furrow sharply, and she almost surrendered.

The moment Xiao Fu took Mu Yao's pulse, his expression turned grim.

The guards who came rushed over, but I called them all away.

The guard's expression froze. Not daring to go any further, he immediately turned around and walked inside.

The carriage swayed, and Mu Yao felt extremely sore all over. He felt bloated and burning hot, as if there was a furnace burning him.

I looked at Nanzhi with some trepidation: "Madam, have you been drugged?"

"Xue Shuang, it's you."

"roll!"

The frantic wind inside drowned out everything.

Once the rain had completely stopped, Nanzhi carefully carried the child outside.

Nan Zhi was genuinely drugged and lost her senses in order to make Mu Yao feel sorry for her, so naturally she didn't know how to regulate her breathing.

The general's voice sounded slightly breathless.

The guards inside were already soaked to the bone.

Xue Shuang suddenly understood something, her face turned even redder, and she felt a sense of relief...

Mu Yao's eyes were closed, his eyelashes trembled heavily, his brows were furrowed, and he was consciously muttering something.

The cave was not dark. The guards saw some bloodstains on the ground and sensed that there was no living person in the cave. I was about to step back to see if the lady was outside.

My subconscious thought was to ask about Nan Zhi and Xue Shuang's condition, but my throat felt like it had been cut open, and I could only manage a hoarse sound.

Your lips are all wet. Nanzhi poured you a glass of water to moisten them. You tried hard to open your eyes to see, but it was very difficult.

But we've undergone rigorous training, so that rain was nothing to us.

Nanzhi brought Xue Shuang back to the Mu residence. It wasn't even light yet. You had a very low fever and were in a daze, but you didn't know what day it was.

Re Shi Ding heard Nan Zhi's voice coming from outside.

As I approached, I vaguely saw Xue Shuang carrying Mu Yao as they walked out of the bamboo forest.

Nanzhi is holding you down so you can move around.

Nan Zhi's eyes were red at the corners. Looking at Mu Yao, who was equally relieved, I comforted her in a hoarse voice, "Don't be afraid."

Naturally, they didn't know someone had arrived.

Xue Shuang then thought of how scared you were when you first saw me here.

Mu Yao was slightly confused and was so frightened that he shrank back from my embrace.

Mu Yao became a little confused again. You subconsciously shook your head and told me whether you had bitten me or not.

We finally found it.

Your eyes are wide open, clearly you can see who it is, but you curl up in fear, in a protective posture.

Apart from Mu Yao's presence, she had long since lost all awareness of her surroundings.

I listened to the footsteps, trying to discern whether the person approaching was friend or foe.

Finally, just as the guards slowly spotted us, I recognized their voices as those of our own.

Looking at Mu Yao like that, I felt even more heartache and guilt.

"Don't move, someone's coming."

One word was enough for the guards to tell that something was amiss.

Even though it's happened once, it's still difficult.

But as soon as I touched your hand, I realized something was off about you.

But Nan Zhi's eyes seemed to be filled with a kind of madness that was neither restrained nor controlled.

We dare to get closer, but we also dare to leave; we can only stay far away and watch from inside.

All that remained for her was the instinctive entanglement and demanding.

"Just bear with it a little longer, it'll be home in no time."

The voice above him was gentler than ever before, and Mu Yao quickly fell asleep again.

Nanzhi could vaguely tell this from the shape of your lips.

Inside the cave, Xue Shuang stared intently at Mu Yao, her bloodshot eyes seemingly devoid of any ferocity, her broken fingertips giving a sense of reassurance, her rough voice carrying a chill, "He's definitely a biting man."

His breathing was rapid and heavy. Just as he was about to leave, Nanzhi unconsciously exerted some force because she heard someone coming.

No one spoke. When we saw Nanzhi carrying the lady out, even though it looked like Mu Yao, we still politely looked away and dared not glance at her.

Nan Zhi's breathing suddenly quickened, as if the pain had subsided, and she lifted you up, sitting you beneath her and pressing down hard on you...

Meanwhile, the guards were getting closer and closer, and it seemed they were about to see us.

I reached out to touch your forehead, and it was indeed incredibly hot.

When you can see me clearly, I'll pull you into my arms, dress you in your tattered clothes, and pat your back repeatedly.
