At this moment, Xue Yu was still fighting with Lin Mu, the fifth son of the Lin family, and did not hear the conversation between them just now.
The two fought and chased each other all the way, and unknowingly they had gotten far away from the escort team.
She knocked down a swooping falcon with one punch, strode forward, turned sideways and kicked Lin Mu in the neck.
Lin Mu quickly reached out and grabbed Xue Yu's ankle. His voice was muffled through the windproof mask, but one could vaguely hear that he was trying his best to endure the pain of being hit in the arm.
"You wouldn't expect the Haoyue people to have such thin arms and legs, but they're actually quite strong."
Xue Yu was stunned. It was the first time someone said that she had thin arms and legs.
The aesthetic taste of the nobles of Haoyue Country is thin and graceful, and they prefer women who sway gracefully in the wind and look pitiful.
Most noble women pursued a slender waist that could be held in one hand, and often starved themselves to the point of being pale and thin.
Xue Yu wasn't fat, just more sturdy and fuller-bodied than the average woman. But the old emperor had originally arranged for her to be married to the Fourth Prince. When she first entered the imperial city at the age of fifteen to meet her fiancé, the nobles of Rock City teased her for being too fat.
The fourth prince felt embarrassed and insisted on breaking off the engagement.
This worried her parents. How could she get married again after the royal family broke off the engagement? So they kept nagging her to eat less and lose weight, but she would gain weight even if she drank cold water.
Hearing that practicing martial arts can help lose weight, she practiced martial arts diligently day after day. One day, those who said she was fat fell silent, because she had developed extraordinary strength and anyone who offended her would have their bones broken.
But no one dared to come to the Xue family to propose marriage.
She is now twenty-one years old. Although Xue Yan always says that if she can't get married, her brother will support her, her elder brother will also get married one day.
He also said frankly that he wanted to be the mistress of the female prime minister, and he couldn't bring a girl with him as a burden to join her family.
Xue Yu shook her head, getting rid of the strange thoughts from her head. She jumped up and kicked her other foot towards Lin Mu's chest, trying to use the momentum to break free from his restraints.
But she saw a snake with yellow and black patterns quickly climbed up her leg and was about to bite her leg with its mouth wide open.
"What the hell!" Xue Yu screamed. She reacted very quickly, untied her shoelaces, and kicked the snake-lace shoes out together.
She rolled over to break free from Lin Mu's restraints, but was slapped by him.
Lin Mu took advantage of the situation and slapped her chest. He felt the touch was soft and strange. His mind went blank and his movements became hesitant.
Xue Yu endured the pain that was flooding his internal organs, quickly steadied himself, and punched him in the face.
Lin Mu leaned back subconsciously, but he couldn't dodge in time and her knocked his windproof mask off.
A red mark quickly swelled up on the side of Junyi's face. Lin Mu's beautiful peach blossom eyes stared at her bare feet, and saw that the pair of white jade feet were painted with bright nail polish.
"Are you a girl?"
Xue Yu retracted his foot and raised his hand to slap him on the other side of the face, "Are you blind?"
Lin Mu finally realized that she was the assassin sent to kill the diplomatic mission. Just as he was about to attack, the sand dunes under his feet suddenly began to loosen.
Xue Yu's body sank and his feet sank into the mud and sand. She grabbed his clothes in panic and dragged him into the sand.
"Don't move, it's quicksand." Lin Mu felt that his legs and hands had sunk into the sand. The more he struggled, the deeper he sank. The person he had thrown under him was still struggling to get up, which made him feel hot and uncomfortable.
Upon hearing this, Xue Yu immediately stopped struggling. Her legs and half of her body sank into the sand, and her hands were buried deep in the sand because of the leverage.
"Brother, let's not fight for now. Let's talk about it after we get out." She tried to move her body, but when she used her legs to gain leverage, her body sank a little more.
"Don't move!" Lin Mu supported himself on the quicksand with one hand and pressed the other on her chest. The soft touch and the chest rising and falling with her nervous breathing made him blush.
But as soon as he moved slightly, his other hand stuck in the sand seemed to be dragged down by something and sank deeper and deeper.
"What should we do now?" Xue Yu said with tears in her eyes. She had seen quicksand in a book. Once you were stuck in it, it was almost impossible to get out. The more you struggled, the faster you sank. You could only wait to die.
"I don't know. Just stay still for now, and you shouldn't sink." Lin Mu supported himself with his hands and pressed them on her body. The two of them maintained a very ambiguous posture, lying motionless in the sand.
The speed at which the two men's bodies sank indeed slowed down.
Xue Yu quietly looked at the man who pounced on him. Although his face was swollen, one could still see his straight nose and beautiful peach blossom eyes. The slightly red corners of his eyes also had a bit of alluring charm.
It's hard to imagine that this man has such a burly figure but such a charming face.
And those beautiful peach blossom eyes were also looking at her. Xue Yu herself had thin eyebrows, bright eyes, plump and round cheeks, and a natural pink cloud floating on her cheeks. Even without makeup, she was still pleasing to the eye.
Xue Yu felt a little embarrassed by being stared at, and said angrily, "What are you looking at?"
Lin Mu was also a little embarrassed by being stared at. He turned his gaze away from Xue Yu, his face red all the way to the tips of his ears.
He tried to find some topics to ease the awkwardness, "What's your name, and why do you want to be a killer?"
"Why should I tell you unless you tell me first."
Lin Mu sighed slightly, "You are a beautiful woman, but you are a thief."
"You're such a reasonable person! You stole our horse and you're accusing me of being a thief?"
"I'm Lin Mu, the fifth oldest commander in Xiling City. You can call me Lin Wu."
"Oh... I've heard of you, the Lin Family Five Tigers. I'm part of this escort team. My name is Xue Yu."
"You're quite skilled. I'll pay you how much money you can earn from this deal. Stop being a killer and follow me."
Xue Yu exclaimed, his face suddenly reddened. What was he talking about? What did it mean to follow him?
Blushing, she whispered, "I'm from the Haoyue Kingdom Guard, and the chief negotiator is my brother Xue Yan. I'm from Haoyue, and I can't follow you no matter how much money you offer."
Lin Mu was stunned, and his hand that was grabbing her chest subconsciously retracted. Isn't Xue Yan the head of the Xue family, a famous family in Haoyue Country? And the person below is also a young lady?
Hiss~ Which young lady from a good family can kill a hunting falcon with one punch?
Xue Yu then realized that there had been a dirty hand on his chest. He said anxiously, "You, what are you doing scratching my chest? Let go immediately or I'll break your hand!"
Lin Mu's face suddenly turned red, and he quickly moved his hands to the sand, but they sank and both hands sank into the sand. This time the two of them were even closer.
Xue Yu looked at the handsome face so close to him, his heart beating extremely fast. "Lin... Guard Lin, we seem to be sinking. Think of a solution quickly!"
"Now my hands and feet are stuck in the ground. There's nothing I can do..."
Lin Mu felt two soft things slowly pressing against his chest. It was as if something in his heart was melted, and a tingling sensation spread to every part of his body.
He thought carefully about her shy response just now. It seemed like she said...
"You want me to marry you?"
Xue Yu almost lost his breath and said, "How did you hear that I had such thoughts?"
