I pulled Xie Yuancheng behind me: "What are you doing here again!"
“I’m here to steal your man! You’ve been monopolizing the Marquis for so long, it’s time we had some fun too.”
"Get out! He's my man, we've been married for ages. You're just a woman, you can easily find any man you want on the street, there are plenty of them, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it!"
That damned woman, daring to try and steal Xie Yuancheng, doesn't she even know her own limitations?
"Alright, if you can beat me, I won't follow you any further." The woman took out her sword, which gleamed in the moonlight and looked very sharp.
"Ying'er~ You have to protect me~" Xie Yuancheng leaned against me like a young girl.
"Get up quickly." I whispered in his ear, "My kung fu isn't good enough. How about hers?"
"You saw it yesterday, didn't you?"
My heart sank. The woman charged at me with her sword drawn. Just as I was about to draw my Phantom Sword, Xie Yuancheng swung my hand from behind and moved the woman aside.
"Now you know how powerful I am, why don't you run away!" Seeing her lying on the ground, I started to get bolder. With Xie Yuancheng around, I couldn't possibly lose.
"You ambushed me!" The woman's face was covered in mud, and I almost laughed.
"You're willing to admit defeat. You just said you wouldn't bother us along the way. If you dare to, I'll spread the word throughout the martial arts world."
"Don't think you can get through this safely, my lord. We'll meet again."
The woman kept her word and flew away. I turned around and kicked Xie Yuancheng, but not hard; he was pretending to be seriously injured.
"If you keep pretending, I'll kick you again."
"Ying'er, where can you find such a fierce wife? I'm always the victim."
"If you keep trying to act cute, I'm not going with you anymore. That's too much. Where did all these wild women come from, all wanting to get close to you?"
Xie Yuancheng smiled and hugged me, saying, "Don't worry, we've been surrounded by people from the martial arts world, so we've managed to avoid the Crown Prince and his men. It's just that everyone knows me to some extent, so you'll have to put up with this."
"Why make me wear men's clothes? I want to change clothes and make them feel ashamed."
"No, I spread the word that my brother Ying is a man, so you would dress as a man and walk around in front of me every day. The carriage was so small back then, it wasn't appropriate to do anything."
"You actually dared to covet me the first time you went to Linyang!" Wan'er was telling the truth, and I was actually asleep and didn't know it.
“Ying’er, you ignored me back then. I wanted to see you, so I could only sneak a peek during my breaks. No, I had to look at you openly in the carriage. I was so innocent back then, I only touched your hand.”
I reached out and pinched his cheek. How could he describe his filthy thoughts in such a vulgar way? I'll pinch him to death.
"Ying'er, let's get on the horse first. If there are too many people, we won't be able to move."
"Hmph!" I climbed onto the horse myself, and when he got on, I bumped him with my back: "Tell me everything you've done that I don't know about."
"Heaven and earth bear witness, I did nothing wrong. It was just this matter; I sent someone to the Ji residence to deliver a message."
"No wonder Mother arrived so quickly. That wicked man, so stingy and domineering, and he even secretly touched my hand."
I was just being a little temperamental. He was only twenty years old two years ago, a time when he was naturally curious about the person he liked. At the time, I was dressed as a man and was also the prince consort, so I can understand why he was so cautious.
"Is Ying'er happy?" Xie Yuancheng leaned over to ask, and I hit him on the head with my fan: "Hurry up and leave."
Xie Yuancheng then pulled on the reins and walked away. I carefully looked around. There were very few trees left, and lots of yellow sand.
"Where is this place? It looks like a wasteland."
"We've now reached the Northwest. Back then, we took a different route and didn't see any of this yellow sand."
"We've only been traveling for ten days, and we've already reached the Northwest?"
"Because we took a shortcut, and there was a red cloak at the time, we gave birth for several days."
"That's still too fast. Although the capital is in the north, it's still quite a distance from the northwest."
"This is considered slow. It usually takes fifteen days to reach a major city in the Northwest. We're still on the outskirts."
"Are there many martial arts figures around here? We seem to encounter them every step of the way?"
"Of course not. There's a Heroes' Gathering going on recently, so there are more people from the martial arts world here. There are usually very few people here. I always try to avoid crowded places, but I still ended up here."
Xie Yuancheng said he never expected to be noticed by a woman from the martial arts world, especially since she knew his identity. He guessed that people in the martial arts world now knew he was on this path.
"No, we have to take a detour. We can't go this way again. If any more women come, I'll definitely divorce you."
"In this desolate wilderness, where would I find any women? I already have one in my arms. I can't afford to raise too many. I have three children at home waiting to earn money. Suddenly, I feel so tired."
He actually had the nerve to play the victim with me. I saw Xie Yuancheng's hand around my waist and started pinching and scratching it.
"Okay, okay, Ying'er, let go quickly." Xie Yuancheng was moving, but I held his hand.
"Try playing the victim with me again. If we were on flat ground, I would tickle you like crazy."
"That's fine. Let's dismount now, and I'll lie down on the ground so you can play with me as you like."
This bastard is so irresponsible. I let go of his hand immediately. "Hurry up and let's go. Maybe we can get to the Northern Desert ahead of time. I want to see some different scenery."
"Really don't want to?" Xie Yuancheng leaned closer and asked. I turned and kissed him, and only then did he start running forward at full speed.
It was very tiring to ride a horse, especially since we had to travel. We even shared a horse, and although the horse could handle it, it was very uncomfortable for us.
Thankfully, besides the yellow sand, there were still many trees and flowers along the way. It's summer now, slowly. The sun gets stronger and stronger around noon; I almost fainted a few times.
That day, we came to a place with water and flowers. Xie Yuancheng saw that I looked listless and actually offered to let me dismount and rest.
"No, if bandits come again, I'm glad I was wearing a long cloth, otherwise they would have seen everything."
"Don't worry, the person who saw it has already lost their eyesight."
Xie Yuancheng said a few words, and I saw who was indeed cool, so I dismounted.
He actually showered with me this time, which is quite rare. I guess even a nobleman with a naturally fragrant body couldn't withstand the fatigue of such a long journey.
"I've cleaned your back. I'm going to rest in the water for a bit. Call me when it's time." I leaned against the edge of the small pool. It was so hot at noon, but now it's so cool in the water. I don't want to get out at all.
Xie Yuancheng pulled me over to sleep by his side. Now, I always rely on him when we're out, so I don't feel bitter at all, but he does.
