Chapter 389: Is your love forced?
Xiyan's face turned pale, the shock of falling just now had not yet faded. Now she saw Xiao Nanyue supporting the weight of two people with only one hand, and his knuckles creaked from the force.
She gritted her teeth and temporarily put aside her personal grudge with Xiao Nanyan.
The instinct of a martial artist made her calm down and take a deep breath quickly, using the inertia to lift her body upwards, trying to reduce Xiao Nanyue's burden as much as possible.
Xiao Nanyue felt that the person in his arms was no longer struggling, but instead cooperated with the effort, and the tense jawline softened a little.
He used his hands and feet, grabbing the vine with one hand and pushing the protruding rocks on the rock wall with the other, and slowly moved down.
The green vine slid across his hand inch by inch, and the thorny vine left blood marks on his palm. Sweat slid down his forehead and soaked into Xiyan's head.
Xiyan lowered her head and could see the blood oozing from the back of his hand and flowing down the vines. She felt his arm around her waist, which was trembling slightly but never loosened at all.
She pursed her lips and stopped talking, adjusting her body to follow his movements. Occasionally, when his feet slipped, she would use her toes to stabilize her center of gravity on the rock wall. Gradually, their movements developed a tacit understanding.
The weeds below were getting closer and closer, and I could clearly see the thin vines and scattered gravel entwined among the grass leaves.
When they were still more than three feet above the ground, the vines could no longer bear the weight of the two people and suddenly broke, and the two people fell rapidly into the grass.
With a thud, they both fell into the weeds.
Xiao Nanyue subconsciously protected Xiyan, and his body fell to the ground first. His back hit a piece of gravel and he groaned in pain.
Xiyan fell on him, supporting herself with her hands the moment she fell to the ground. Their noses touched, their breaths intertwined, and their posture revealed an indescribable ambiguity.
Xiyan suddenly felt embarrassed and wanted to pull away, but Xiao Nanyue closed his arms and held her tightly in his arms, refusing to let go.
"Let me go!"
Xiyan was both angry and anxious, and raised her hand to hit him in the face.
Xiao Nanyue grabbed her wrist with his backhand. The force was not strong, but it made it impossible for her to break free.
He had a half-smile on his face, but his eyes were filled with longing and eagerness that had been suppressed for too long, and his voice was hoarse:
"Yan Yan, I've been looking for you for a whole year, and I've been thinking about you for a whole year. This time, I will never let you go!"
Before he could finish his words, he freed one of his big hands to grab the back of her neck and pressed her head towards him without saying a word.
The two lips collided unexpectedly, and Xiyan only felt that Xiao Nanyan's big hands holding her waist were so hot that they seemed to be burning.
Xiyan's whole body stiffened and she struggled violently, pushing away with her hands and feet, but her strength was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot in front of Xiao Nanyue.
He kissed her quickly and deeply, as if he wanted to pour out all the longing he had for this year, and his lips and teeth were filled with irresistible strength.
Xiyan was angry and confused, hating his constant pressure. The touch of his lips made her even more nervous, so she bit his lips hard.
Xiao Nanyue felt pain and finally loosened his grip.
Xiyan took the opportunity to break free, stepped back a few steps, raised her hand to wipe the corner of her lips, and stared at him coldly:
"Xiao Nanyan, you are shameless!"
Xiao Nanyan slowly sat up, raised his hand and stroked his bitten lip. There was a trace of blood on his fingertips, but he smiled, and the eagerness in his eyes almost overflowed:
"Even if I'm shameless, I'll only be shameless to you in this life."
He looked at her angry eyes and slightly swollen lips, and softened his voice:
"Yanyan, stop running away, okay?"
Xiyan turned her face away, her chest heaving violently.
This man is always so domineering. Even if I try my best to draw a line between us, I just can't break free from the web he has woven.
The sunlight from the cliff seeped in through the gaps in the vines, casting mottled shadows between the two people.
Xiao Nanyan looked at Xiyan's tense face and his voice became softer:
"For you, I traveled thousands of miles to attack Nanzhao, but I was careful not to harm your people. I also surrounded your soldiers but did not attack them, to minimize casualties. All of this was for you."
"I didn't force you to do this, you did it willingly!"
Xiao Nanyan took a step forward and locked her with a burning gaze:
"You have followed me for eight years and understand my character best. If you do not return, I will continue my march south until you agree."
He paused, his eyes sincere:
"Xiyan, you are my woman, and Yin'er is my daughter. From now on, I will treat you and your daughter even better."
Xi Yan suddenly looked up, with a cold look in her eyes:
"Your love is to take by force and force others to do what is difficult for them?"
Xiao Nanyan's tone was somewhat helpless, but more stubborn:
"What else? If I beg you, will you go back with me?"
Xi Yan snorted coldly and turned away:
"You should first think about whether you can walk out of here alive. You still have the mind to care about these private affairs between men and women. Aren't you afraid that the fire will spread here soon?"
Xiao Nanyan smiled, his dark robe swaying gently in the wind:
"I believe you set up the Four-Gate Golden Lock Formation solely to force me to retreat. This Seven Star Mountain is a strategically important location for Southern Zhao. How could you bear to let it burn? I'm sure your brother, the Crown Prince, has already put out the fire by now."
