"Jingrui, I hope you won't mind... in the future." Shangguan Wanning's voice trembled a little.
Mu Jingrui hugged Shangguan Wanning distressedly. "Silly girl, I... I'm just afraid of wronging you."
Shangguan Wanning forced a smile and whispered, "Turn around."
Mu Jingrui was helpless and looked at the Son of God.
The Son of God just smiled faintly, picked up a black scarf from the altar table, covered his eyes, and turned his body away.
Mu Jingrui stared at Shangguan Wanning deeply and gently reminded her, "If you notice something is wrong, just shout loudly. I will protect you."
Shangguan Wanning nodded.
After Mu Jingrui turned his back, the girl came forward and supported Shangguan Wanning to the holy pool and gently took off her clothes.
Although neither of the two men could see her, she still felt uncomfortable and even a little ashamed.
She wrapped her arms around herself and carefully stepped into the sacred pool.
The water in the pool was icy cold, and when her toes touched the water, Shangguan Wanning shivered involuntarily.
She took a deep breath, mustered up her courage and slowly walked to the middle of the pool.
When Shangguan Wanning felt that she was about to freeze to death, the two girls also undressed and walked down.
One of them held a dagger and the other held a small bowl, separating Shangguan Wanning's wrist.
Blood flowed out of the body bit by bit, and Shangguan Wanning vaguely felt some pain.
When the girl handed Shangguan Wanning's blood to the Son of God, the Son of God placed the blood on the altar, made a few strange movements, and then knelt down in front of the altar, muttering something.
Mu Jingrui had no interest in this ancient and mysterious witchcraft. He hadn't heard Shangguan Wanning's voice for a long time and could only vaguely hear her faint breathing.
He was uneasy.
"Ning'er, how are you? Ning'er? Answer me a question."
"Jingrui, I'm fine..." Shangguan Wanning felt very cold and her voice was trembling slightly.
As soon as she finished speaking, the altar suddenly shook and some huge rocks rolled down from above.
Mu Jingrui was horrified. He jumped away and heard a scream.
He couldn't help but look back, and saw a girl being crushed by a huge rock, her flesh and blood blurred. The Holy Son continued the ritual indifferently, pouring Shangguan Wanning's blood on the mirror.
The boulder was still rolling down and was about to head towards the holy pool. Mu Jingrui could no longer care about anything else.
He used his lightness skills to move towards the holy pool, picked up the clothes on the ground, pulled Shangguan Wanning out of the pool, and quickly wrapped her in clothes.
At this time, Shangguan Wanning was already a little unconscious. She felt the warmth from Mu Jingrui's body and subconsciously hid in his arms.
"Ning'er?" Mu Jingrui didn't know if something had happened to Shangguan Wanning, and he wanted to slap himself hard twice.
How much water was in his brain that he agreed to the Son of God's request?
"If anything happens to Ning'er, I will want all the people of your barbarian tribe to be buried with her." Mu Jingrui said viciously, then left the altar holding Shangguan Wanning.
When he returned to the post station, Mi Si immediately came to greet him and asked with a smile, "General Mu, is everything going well?"
"Smooth ass!" Mu Jingrui couldn't help but curse, "You'd better burn incense and pray to God to bless Ning'er to be safe, otherwise... humph!"
Mu Jingrui ignored Mi Si and walked into the post station carrying Shangguan Wanning.
He asked the maid to help her put on her clothes, and immediately summoned a military doctor to treat Shangguan Wanning.
"How is she?" Mu Jingrui held his breath nervously and asked anxiously.
The military doctor stood up and bowed, saying, "General Mu, please rest assured. Miss Shangguan fainted because she stayed in an environment with very low temperature for too long. She will wake up after drinking a bowl of hot soup."
"Is there really nothing else wrong with her body?"
"Don't worry, no."
Mu Jingrui then let out a long sigh of relief.
He waved his hand to dismiss the military doctor, personally fed Shangguan Wanning some hot soup, and stayed by her side until she slowly woke up.
"Where... am I?" Shangguan Wanning's voice was still weak.
She looked around and the scene of Mu Jingrui fishing her out of the sacred pool reappeared in her mind.
At that time, she...
Shangguan Wanning's face quickly flushed.
Although in her memory, the scene of her physical intimacy with Mu Jingrui in her previous life was still clear, but...
She couldn't help but pull the quilt over herself, looked up at Mu Jingrui secretly, and scolded coquettishly: "You...how could you...get out, I don't want to see you."
As soon as Mu Jingrui saw Shangguan Wanning's expression, he guessed what she was thinking.
The corners of his mouth turned up into an evil smile.
"But... I've already seen you..."
"Mu Jingrui, don't say anything." Shangguan Wanning buried her face in the quilt.
Mu Jingrui smiled and pulled open the quilt, hugged Shangguan Wanning into his arms, let her hide in his arms, and whispered: "Okay, I won't tell you anymore. But I want you to remember that in this life... you can only be mine."
Shangguan Wanning pressed her face against Mu Jingrui's chest, listened to his steady heartbeat, and nodded gently.
She probably really can't escape.
Whether in the past life or this life.
"You have a good rest. I'll go take care of some other things. If nothing unexpected happens, we'll be able to go back soon."
Mu Jingrui pulled Shangguan Wanning out of his arms and kissed her gently between the eyebrows. "After arriving in the capital, I will go to your house to propose marriage and complete our engagement."
Shangguan Wanning lay back down obediently, closed her eyes and rested peacefully.
Mu Jingrui sent people to inquire about the situation at the altar and learned that the Son of God had already come out, but the four girls who accompanied him were all crushed to death.
His eyes darkened, and a strong murderous aura flashed across them.
This guy may have known that something like this would happen, but he completely ignored the lives of others and only cared about himself.
Mu Jingrui clenched his fists. If he had not been there at the time, Shangguan Wanning would have suffered the same fate as those four girls.
From the beginning to the end, the Son of God did not explain all the facts and possible risks.
"General Mu?"
The call from his subordinates brought Mu Jingrui back to his senses. "General Mu, do you have any other instructions?"
"Pass the order down. Tomorrow, we will return to the capital."
"yes."
This is definitely exciting news.
Returning triumphantly is the highest honor for anyone who has fought on the battlefield.
The night falls and everything is silent.
After Mu Jingrui put Shangguan Wanning to sleep, he returned to his room and stared at his sword in a daze.
After a long time, he took off his sword and pulled out a piece, and the cold light reflected on his face.
He frowned slightly, made a decision, and jumped out of the window with his sword in hand.
