"Although my martial arts skills are not high, I am very good at using poison, and I know the way around the mountain stronghold. Maybe I can help you."
Lin Yuxin's biggest reason for wanting to go was that the other side was considered gold. All the gold they had fought over the years, except for what was used by the Crown Prince, was on the other side. Now that she knew about it, it was hers.
"But…!"
"No buts, it's decided. Zhao Yi, you guys stay here and keep watch. If we successfully infiltrate, we'll find a way to open a passage, and you can come and meet us then."
Lin Yuxin interrupted Xueying and gave instructions to Zhao Yi.
"Yes! Miss, please be careful!"
Knowing the situation was urgent, Zhao Yi had no choice but to give up.
"Alright, Xueying, let's go!"
After Lin Yuxin finished speaking, she grabbed his wrist and jumped off the cliff.
"Yuxin...!"
Lin Yuxin, who was falling, was stunned when she heard her older brother calling her.
[Oh no, I didn't tell my brother! Does he think she jumped off a cliff to commit suicide? Oh well, I'll explain when I get back!]
When Lin Yuxin jumped down, the passage was already half closed. Fortunately, Xueying was good at light footwork and grabbed Lin Yuxin with her backhand. With a few pushes, she jumped up. Otherwise, she would have really fallen off the cliff today.
Before Lin Yuxin could even stand up straight, she felt herself being pulled by a tremendous force and directly into a warm embrace.
"master!"
Xueying had just regained her balance when she felt her hands go empty. Thinking her master had fallen, she cried out in alarm, but when she looked up, wow! The scenery around her was much more beautiful!
"Well…!"
Lin Yuxin looked up in confusion, only to see Li Xiaochen's face. She asked blankly:
"Your Highness? What are you doing here?"
Li Xiaochen held Lin Yuxin with both hands, standing on the retracting iron chain to prevent her from falling.
Li Xiaochen pursed his lips, his face cold, giving off an unapproachable vibe.
Looking at him like that, Lin Yuxin suddenly didn't want to know anymore.
[Why are you being so fierce? You always have that deadpan look on your face; no wonder you're still single at twenty-five.]
Lin Yuxin buried her head in Li Xiao's chest, cursing Li Xiaochen in her heart.
Xueying wanted to rush up and save her master, but seeing the Regent's icy expression, she didn't dare to speak.
My lord, it's not that I don't want to save you, but please pray for your own good fortune!
Li Xiaochen felt a pang of anger as he listened to her curses. Did this damned woman know that her jump just now had nearly scared him to death? He felt a chill run through his body, as if he had fallen into ice water, suffocating and in pain.
He thought she was going to jump off a cliff; he thought he would never see her again.
It was at that moment that he realized that this woman, whom he had only met a few times, who always made him grit his teeth in anger, had truly taken up residence in his heart.
When Li Xiaochen jumped down and realized they had a plan, he felt both relieved and angry.
He was the regent, and he wasn't stupid. He immediately figured out the whole story. He was angry that this woman had risked her life. Didn't she know her own limitations?
Li Xiaochen's hands tightened unconsciously, afraid that the person in his arms would disappear again.
Lin Yuxin had no idea what Li Xiaochen was thinking; all she felt was that she was being strangled.
[Oh my god, I'm going to die! That bastard Li Xiaochen is trying to strangle me! I can't breathe! Cough cough cough!]
Lin Yuxin's face turned red.
Li Xiaochen was taken aback, then loosened his grip uncomfortably, changing to an encircling embrace. He wrapped one arm around her waist and the other around the back of her head, pressing the back of her head against his chest. Lin Yuxin was now pressed against Li Xiaochen's chest.
[Wait, wait, wait, Li Xiaochen is hugging me so tightly, isn't he taking advantage of me? Right? Right?]
Lin Yuxin tried to lift her head and move it, but after struggling for a long time, it was no use. She didn't know what Li Xiaochen ate to grow up with such strength. In the end, Lin Yuxin gave up struggling.
[Hold me! Hug me! It's not like I'll lose anything, and Li Xiaochen has a great physique; she can feel his pectoral muscles and eight-pack abs, hehe! If only she could touch them!]
Thinking of this, Lin Yuxin immediately raised her hand, wrapped it around Li Xiaochen's waist, and even touched his waist.
Li Xiaochen froze, all his muscles tensed, and a tingling sensation spread throughout his body. Just as Li Xiaochen gritted his teeth and endured it, he still had to listen to Lin Yuxin's thoughts.
Wow, his waist is so strong to hug, and it feels so shapely and secure! I love it! Whoever marries him will be so lucky!
Lin Yuxin felt like she was about to have a nosebleed. This incredibly handsome man had practically delivered himself to her! Why not take a bite?
Li Xiaochen couldn't take it anymore. He freed one hand and grabbed the two mischievous little hands behind him, not allowing them to move, and coldly reprimanded them:
"Don't move!"
Lin Yuxin pouted. "Fine, don't touch me then. You're so stingy."
Just then, the iron chain passage finally reached the other side. Li Xiaochen grabbed her and quickly jumped down, landing behind a boulder, with Xueying following closely behind.
"Has the cableway been retracted?"
"It's back!"
"It seems the master's mission failed this time! Go and seal off all the passages. Do not contact the outside world during this period and wait for the master's instructions."
"yes!"
A conversation echoed from behind the boulder. After the two people left, there was no sound for a long time before Lin Yuxin peeked out and whispered:
"Let's find a way in. We've already come this far, wouldn't it be a waste not to get some benefits?"
All of the Crown Prince's gold is now mine!
Li Xiaochen's eyes flashed with helplessness. He had wondered why this girl would disregard danger; it turned out she was obsessed with money.
