The forest was filled with the scent of damp earth. As you ventured deeper along the winding path, you were surrounded by the incessant chirping of birds, and the lichen swayed in the wind.
If it weren't for the waist-high weeds blocking the way, everything would be quite pleasant.
Yuan Jiang scratched her neck, which was red from mosquito bites, and looked at Lou Ji with red eyes, feeling wronged: "My lord, how much longer do we have to walk? Jiang Jiang's legs are sore."
Lou Ji turned around, his dark, bright eyes reflecting Yuan Jiang's reddened, watery eyes. He smiled slightly and said, "We've only been walking for less than half an hour, and you can't walk anymore?"
“Not really…” Yuan Jiang lowered her eyes with a worried expression, grumbling to herself. Normally, she would use her magic to be lazy and reach her destination in no time. Why would she have to walk like this?
The little fox demon is usually lazy and loves to eat; being able to walk for half an hour is already her limit.
Yuan Jiang stomped her foot in frustration, feeling a sharp pain in the soles of her feet.
Lou Ji smiled helplessly yet indulgently, gently shook his head, rubbed Yuan Jiang's head, and slowly squatted down in front of her: "Get on, I'll carry you."
Yuan Jiang's eyes lit up, and without any hesitation, she jumped onto Lou Ji's back, grinning as she said, "My lord treats Jiang Jiang so well! Jiang Jiang wants to be with my lord forever!"
Lou Ji let out a low, hoarse click of his tongue, his expression darkening. He supported Yuan Jiang's thigh with his long, slender fingers, slowly stood up, and took a step forward.
Lou Wuyou, who was following behind, had a blade of grass in his mouth and walked slowly, occasionally squinting and gazing into the distance, wondering if he could go back to the manor to catch a rabbit and roast it for dinner.
Yuan Jiang buried half her face in Lou Ji's neck, her warm breath spraying onto his sensitive neck, and her fox-like eyes, hidden beneath her thick, curled eyelashes, gleamed with a dark light.
If she remembered correctly, they walked for two hours straight, and Lou Ji proceeded without hesitation, even along the winding roads.
In an unfamiliar environment, at a fork in the road, anyone would be cautious and consider their choice. The fact that Lou Ji, a man of such prudence, didn't stop can only mean...
Lou Ji was very familiar with this place.
Yuan Jiang pursed her red lips slightly, an unbelievable conjecture faintly emerging in her heart. She tried her best to steady her breathing, forced a gentle smile onto her face, and turned to look at Lou Wuyou.
Lou Wuyou was scanning his surroundings with sharp eyes, showing no sign of being foolish whatsoever!
Yuan Jiang bit the soft flesh inside her lip. Lou Ji was lying to her. What was Lou Ji trying to do?
Just as Yuan Jiang was frowning in thought, Lou Wuyou's deep gaze fell on her face. Almost instantly, Lou Wuyou blinked, grinned, and chuckled twice, mumbling indistinctly, "Sister! Sister, sister! Why are you looking at Sha Chun?"
Yuan Jiang felt a chill run down her spine as she immediately sensed Lou Ji's back tightening and his steps halting as his deep, scrutinizing gaze fell upon her.
She smiled slightly and said, "Let me see if you've kept up."
"Huh?" Lou Wuyou tilted her head, looking confused. "Silly Chun has been following behind you and brother the whole time! Sister cares so much about Silly Chun, Silly Chun is so happy!"
Look at that weird, weird energy.
It's exactly the same as Lou Ji's.
Yuan Jiang's suspicions were confirmed; she didn't believe the girl was truly stupid and had absolutely no connection to Lou Ji.
"Jiang Jiang, what are you thinking about?"
Yuan Jiang was lost in thought when she suddenly heard that cold, drawn-out voice. She was startled and instinctively blinked her eyelashes and looked up, only to meet Lou Ji's dark and deep eyes.
