Chapter 390 If it can make her feel more comfortable, he is willing to do it
Xiyan snorted coldly, but was secretly annoyed in her heart.
This Xiao Nanyue is so treacherous and cunning. How can he guess and see through everything?
She hated the way he could see through people's hearts the most, as if nothing could escape his gaze.
Xiao Nanyue stepped forward and stretched out his hand to brush the grass debris from her hair, but she dodged sideways.
He didn't get angry either: "Yan Yan, we'd better leave this place as soon as possible. There are many poisonous insects and ferocious beasts in this mountain. The longer we stay, the greater the risk."
Xiyan stood still, her fingertips clenched around the corner of her clothes.
She had another idea in mind:
If he could delay Xiao Nanyue and keep him in the mountains for a few more days, and if Xiao Nanyue hasn't left the Seven Star Mountain after the ten-day period, he would have lost the bet and would naturally give up the marriage. Then, let's see how he can continue to pester me.
Xiao Nanyan saw the calculation in her eyes clearly, with a hint of ambiguity in his eyes, and deliberately slowed down his voice:
"It seems that you are reluctant to leave here and want to reminisce about the past with me. Are you worried that someone will disturb you after you leave the valley?"
He took a step forward, his tone somewhat teasing:
"That's exactly what the king intended."
As he got closer, the familiar scent of cold plum blossoms became clearer and clearer, carrying an irresistible pressure.
Xiyan's mind flashed uncontrollably with the scene of her whispering in his ear, and her cheeks suddenly felt hot.
She knew Xiao Nanyan too well. He always kept his word. Her heart tightened and she hurriedly took a few steps back, taking a defensive stance, her voice trembling.
"Who said I'm reluctant to leave here? Let's go now!"
After saying that, she turned around hastily, wanting to escape from this panicking atmosphere, and hurried forward along the valley bottom.
Xiao Nanyan looked at her slightly panicked back, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly:
This little woman actually thought of him as a beast that would pounce on her at any time?
Although, he really wanted to.
However, he still quickly caught up and stood in front of her:
"The mountain road is rugged. How can we let a woman walk in front and take risks? I will lead the way."
Xi Yan snorted coldly, without saying anything, but her heart was filled with contempt:
Could it be that Xiao Nanyan has lost his memory after not seeing him for a year? Over the past few years, he's been involved in countless battles, exploring new paths, and taking risks, all without her and Manluo. Has he learned to be gentle with women now?
Although she thought this in her mind, her pace subconsciously slowed down, letting him walk ahead.
Xiao Nanyan looked back at her, and seemed to anticipate what she was thinking, and said softly:
"In the past, I was confused. I didn't see clearly, and I didn't protect you well. From now on, I won't do that again."
Xiyan felt a little bitter in her heart, and she couldn't tell whether it was annoyance or something else.
The air at the bottom of the valley became increasingly humid. As the two walked forward along the rock wall, there was more and more gravel under their feet, and occasionally they could kick up dry animal bones.
Xiyan's palms were slightly sweaty, and suddenly she heard a fluttering sound above her head. She looked up and saw a large group of bats startled and swooping down like a dark cloud.
"Lower your head!"
Xiao Nanyue suddenly pressed Xiyan into his arms, protecting the back of her neck with his left hand, and quickly unsheathed the long sword in his right hand. With a flash of cold light, he had killed more than a dozen bats.
One of them scratched the arm that was protecting Xiyan with its sharp claws, causing a sharp pain, but he did not retreat even a step until the Jinghong Sword in his hand chopped the group of bats, causing them to crash into the stone wall in front, and then circled and flew into a deeper cave. Only then did he let go.
When Xiyan lowered her head, she saw the blood oozing from the back of his hand, like a hidden flower blooming.
"you……"
She was about to say something when Xiao Nanyan grabbed her wrist and walked forward quickly:
"Hurry up, the ground here is damp, and the bats will attract other things."
Sure enough, after turning a corner, we had to go through a cave. As soon as we entered the cave, we found that the walls were covered with poisonous spiders as big as fists. Their dark green carapaces were fluorescent, and the silver threads they spit out were stuck in the cracks of the rocks.
Xiao Nanyue took out a tinder from his arms, tore off the blood-stained corner of his clothes and lit it. The flames instantly drove back the spiders in the front row.
"Follow my footprints and don't touch the silver threads."
He protected Xiyan behind him and used the burning fabric to sweep away the spiders blocking his way. Sparks splashed on the back of his hand, leaving a few red marks but he was completely unaware.
Finally, we passed the deepest section. The spiders were gone, but there were still many spider webs that we must not touch.
Just as I was about to exit the cave, I suddenly heard a crisp "crack" sound above my head, and several rocks on the top of the cave seemed to loosen and fall off.
Xiao Nanyan's pupils suddenly shrank. If he hurriedly left the cave, he would definitely bump into the spider web and be poisoned by the spider.
Without thinking, he held Xiyan in front of him, gathered his energy and used his back to take the hit.
There were a few rumbling sounds, and several rocks hit his back with crackling sounds, and the muffled sounds continued.
Xiao Nanyan clenched his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, but he straightened his back and did not stagger at all.
Xiyan was held in his arms. She heard his suppressed breathing and the sound of rocks hitting flesh and bones, and her heart tightened slightly.
Finally, she took out a packet of powder from her bosom and threw it into the air. The spider web disappeared as soon as it touched the powder.
In fact, she had been in Nanzhao for a year and had already known the terrain and poisonous substances of Qixing Mountain very well. She brought with her the detoxifying powder given by Manluo, and she had also taken the detoxification pills.
The moment she fell into the valley, she realized that she had fallen into the Five Poison Valley.
The bats, spiders and snakes here are all highly poisonous.
In fact, this was not the way out of the valley, but she deliberately led him along the most dangerous part.
She had murderous intentions towards Xiao Nanyue.
If he died, he would never bother her again. With the commander dead in battle, the Apocalypse Army would retreat without a fight.
However, when he protected her several times, she finally softened her heart...
Xiao Nanyan also understood it.
He was familiar with the formations and the locations of the life gates. He knew that Xiyan understood them too. She had deliberately led him down this path, and he didn't refuse.
Because he knew that she still had anger and hatred towards him in her heart.
If it could make her feel more comfortable, he would be willing to do it.
Without any questioning, Xiao Nanyue jumped up, and in a few flashes, he jumped out of the cave holding Xiyan.
As soon as he touched the ground, he still maintained the posture of protecting her, but his body softened, and he fell to the ground with Xiyan, falling heavily on her.
