On the official road.

The horses galloped wildly, sending sand and stones flying.

Huo Jin, still hungover and exhausted, didn't eat anything and rode his horse at full speed towards Longyin Temple. Before he even reached the halfway point, he felt dizzy.

My hand holding the reins was trembling a little.

But he gritted his teeth and persevered. More than an hour had passed since Yuan'er left, and if he didn't catch up in time and something happened, he couldn't forgive himself.

My mind is filled with the intimate details of last night with her.

He tried to comfort her, but she cried, her eyes brimming with tears. When she couldn't take it anymore, she would hit him, kick him, and scratch him.

Even now, my back still feels prickly, with bloodstains crisscrossing it.

But he didn't feel angry; instead, he felt a little guilty.

It's all because Xiao Huo Jin is too capable; she hasn't been able to get used to being with her for the first time.

Having never experienced it before, Huo Jin finally understood why the emperor was always so keen on doing this after last night!

The feeling of souls surging, of complete fusion, of surrendering oneself to the beloved woman is simply indescribable.

Thinking about it, Huo Jin just wanted to go faster, even faster...

But even with his strong physique, he wasn't made of iron. When he finally made it to the foot of the mountain, he accidentally fell off his horse.

By sheer bad luck, his head hit some gravel, and a line of blood started flowing down his face.

Meanwhile, Chu Yuan had already rested for a while at the entrance of Longyin Temple.

She wasn't as fast as Huo Jin, and even though she left an hour earlier than him, she hadn't been there long.

Although Chu Yuan wanted to uphold justice, she did not act rashly or recklessly. Along the way, she used the system to monitor Huo Jin's whereabouts and progress at any time.

If danger were to arise, Huo Jin would arrive in time, naturally deepening their relationship—that would be killing two birds with one stone.

After sitting for a while to relieve the fatigue from climbing the mountain, Chu Yuan asked Baba again, "How is it? Has Huo Jin arrived yet?"

Baba yawned: [Little ancestor, how many times have you asked? Please trust the system's expertise, okay? Your precious Huo Jin is at the foot of the mountain right now, but because she was so worried about you, she went to work on an empty stomach and fell due to low blood sugar. She suffered a minor injury and probably won't wake up for a while.]

Chu Yuan was initially taken aback by the nickname "Huo Jin's Big Darling," but then her attention immediately turned to Huo Jin's injury.

"How did you get injured? Is it serious?"

She clicked her tongue: "You seem quite concerned about him. Looks like his service was excellent last night."

Chu Yuan, "What nonsense are you spouting?"

[Isn't that right? This is the third world you've traveled to, and I've rarely seen you so worried about your conquest targets. So, older and younger ones are still more popular, huh?]

Chu Yuan, "..."

Although, but... do I really have to say it?

[Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore.] Baba finally got serious. [You can rest assured and keep moving forward. Someone who's going to offer incense will pass by soon and help Huo Jin, so he'll be fine.]

Chu Yuan patted her chest and let out a breath, "That's good."

It wasn't that she missed Huo Jin that much; it was just that Huo Jin's breasts were too big, and she was panting from the effort of climbing all the way up.

Sometimes the pressure is so intense that it even makes my ribs hurt.

Today, in order to achieve her goal faster, Chu Yuan didn't wear a chest binder. Wouldn't an old pervert like Rolling Dragon have his eyes light up when he sees her like this?

We'll catch him off guard!

Having devised a strategy, Chu Yuan got up, dusted herself off, and looked around like an ordinary pilgrim.

As soon as she entered the gate, the chubby little novice monk exclaimed softly, "It's you?"

Chu Yuan pointed to her own nose, "You recognize me?"

The chubby boy proudly raised his chin, "Hey, I have a great memory!"

I remember every worshipper who comes to the temple every day and greets me.

"Didn't you ask us if the host was here last time, sister?"

Chu Yuan watched him speak, his chubby cheeks trembling, and she really wanted to go up and pinch them, but she held back because of her business. "Yes, that's right. So that's why I'm here again. Has your host returned?"

"You're back, huh?" The chubby boy looked Chu Yuan up and down with a scrutinizing gaze. "But to see the abbot, you have to donate at least twenty taels of silver as incense money. Do you have that?"

Chu Yuan, wanting to tease him, asked with a smile, "Why do you think I don't? Do I look poor?"

The chubby boy pouted, "Because last time that older brother always paid, and he seemed reluctant. Didn't you force him?"

Chu Yuan, "..."

It turns out she looked like she was dating a rich man!

You really know how to thank me!

For reasons unknown, Chu Yuan took out the two small gold bars she had taken from the Huo family's treasury that morning. Each bar was worth ten taels, which was equivalent to one hundred taels of silver.

He tossed it to the chubby boy with great gusto, "Look carefully, is that enough?"

Upon seeing the money, the chubby boy's narrow eyes widened instantly, just like a chipmunk in a cartoon. "Wow, such a big piece of gold! This is the first time I've ever seen anything like it!"

Chu Yuan patted her skirt. "Let's go, take me to see your host."

"this……"

"What now? I've already paid!"

The chubby boy scratched his head with the hand that wasn't holding the gold bar. "Sister, didn't I tell you last time that our host is more skilled at treating men's ailments? This... isn't very convenient for you!"

Chu Yuan was taken aback before remembering that there was such a thing.

But it's okay, she's thick-skinned enough. "What's the big deal? I'll go first and ask for my deadbeat husband. He's just too busy, and besides, you know how it is to be reluctant to seek medical help? Men care a lot about their image, and your host can't be so unreasonable."

Before long, the chubby boy was so charmed by Chu Yuan that he couldn't say anything.
