"I...I don't want to like someone, they...they'll lie to me, they'll skin me alive." Mo Jing mumbled to herself, completely unaware of what she was saying.

But Ling Moyuan was stunned for a moment. What did he mean by "skinning me"?

However, Mo Jing had already fainted again. Just as Ling Moyuan was about to wake Mo Jing, his eyes suddenly lit up and he noticed a bright spot in front of him, where he could vaguely see water vapor rising.

Mo Jing woke up in the hot steam, and her first thought was how hot it was.

My instinctive reaction was to get up, but a pair of large, warm hands pressed me back down.

"The toxins in your body haven't been completely cleared yet; you need to soak for a while longer." Ling Moyuan quickly pressed Mo Jing back down.

The scalding hot spring water, which made Mo Jing want to scream, surrounded her again.

By this time, it was already broad daylight, with the morning sun shining brightly.

The previously blurry vision cleared up, and Mo Jing could clearly see where she was.

It turned out to be... a pit.

Below was probably a spring; Mo Jing felt hot water gushing up from beneath her.

The skin on my body turned bright red after being soaked in the hot spring.

The pain and difficulty breathing that had been affecting my whole body had improved.

"I thought I was going to die." Mo Jing was also happy to find that she was alright.

"I told you, with me here, I won't let you die," Ling Moyuan's magnetic, seductive voice rang out.

Mo Jing finally got a good look at him. Perhaps he hadn't slept well all night, because Ling Moyuan looked visibly tired. His clothes were torn in places after he had carried her so far the day before.

He was sitting to one side, slowly roasting a chicken.

"How much longer can I soak? This hot spring is so hot!" Mo Jing had no idea how long she had been soaking, so she asked.

"Five more minutes. This is the second time it's been soaked. Just soak it again this afternoon and the poison will be completely neutralized," Ling Moyuan said gently, turning the roasted chicken in his hands.

Yesterday, shortly after Mo Jing fell unconscious, Ling Moyuan discovered the hot spring vent. At the time, it was only a tiny vent, almost invisible unless you looked closely. Later, he used tools to dig a hole in the ground, creating a space large enough for one person. He then placed Mo Jing inside.

Mo Jing smelled the aroma wafting from over there, and now that her energy had recovered somewhat, she actually felt a bit hungry.

She wanted to ask Ling Moyuan how the grilling was going, but when her eyes fell on the two sets of clothes hanging on the pole made of tree branches, her eyes lit up. She looked at Ling Moyuan in disbelief, her fingers trembling slightly as she asked, "Those clothes, those clothes... whose are they?"

After asking the question, even Mo Jing herself felt stupid. There were two people there, and those two sets of women's clothes were clearly hers. How could she not recognize her own clothes?

But now the problem is, who can tell her why those clothes are hanging there?

At this moment, Mo Jing had already forgotten about the incident from yesterday.

"It's yours." Ling Moyuan cut open a red fruit in his hand and squeezed the juice onto it. When there were no condiments, this was the only thing he could use as a substitute.

Mo Jing's face instantly cracked!
