The cold touch of the dagger against Liu Jiaojiao's neck made her extremely uncomfortable.
However, this uncomfortable feeling only lasted for thirty seconds.
With a clang, the dagger in Su Miao's hand was shot to the ground.
As Shen Changji watched as Doga's arrow aimed at Su Miao, he suddenly swung his spear and charged forward.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, Doga quickly threw several packets of powder into the air and took advantage of the chaos to pull Liu Jiaojiao to her feet.
Su Miao felt herself being pushed forward forcefully, and then she was overwhelmed by a strong, cold fragrance.
She reached out and touched the cold armor.
Shen Changji reached out and caught Su Miao, holding her tightly in his arms, his broad back willing to shield her from any potential danger.
His fingertips trembled slightly, but his voice remained restrained and calm.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Seeing this, Lone Eagle immediately led his men to rush towards the cave entrance where Liu Jiaojiao had escaped.
"I...I'm fine. It's just Liu Jiaojiao..."
Su Miao tugged at his long, silent sleeve, lifted her head from his embrace, and looked at him with resentment in her eyes.
"She can't escape. It's dangerous here. Let's leave first."
As he spoke, he picked her up from the ground and strode out.
Shen Changji noticed Su Miao's worry, so he first helped her onto the carriage, then found a doctor to examine her wounds before speaking: "The alien army is not large. With my men and Mo Lin's men, capturing them alive is more than a matter of course."
So you don't need to worry about Liu Jiaojiao having a chance to escape.
"good……"
Su Miao's breathing hadn't yet stabilized. Her heart was beating much faster.
Her eyes lit up at the sound, clearly visible in the dimly lit carriage.
If nothing unexpected happens this time, Liu Jiaojiao will be brought to justice.
She is guilty of every single crime and deserves the death penalty...
Su Miao was mostly unharmed, with only minor abrasions.
The doctor handed the medicinal wine to Shen Changji, but after thinking for a moment, he prepared to take it back. Shen Changji then gripped the wine tightly in his hand.
"I'll apply the medicine to her."
"No need, it's just a minor injury. Let Tao'er treat me."
Without a second thought, Shen Changji said directly, "Tao'er is probably injured while she's with you, so she might not be able to handle everything."
Su Miao thought about it and it seemed to make some sense...
Seeing this, the doctor wisely left the carriage.
"Open your hand, and tell me if it hurts."
"If Tao'er can't do it, there are other maids; they can do it too..."
Upon hearing this, Shen Changji's shoulders stiffened, and his gaze toward her became somewhat complicated.
Before Liu Jiaojiao had even caught him, she had already decided to sever ties with him, and she was much colder and more distant than before.
He couldn't help but let out a cold snort.
In the past, she would eagerly await his personal application of medicine for even a small wound, but now...
If this succeeds, the matter concerning Liu Jiaojiao will be over.
Once this matter is over, his relationship with Su Miao will be essentially reshuffled.
Su Miao met Shen Changji's gaze and shrank back as if she had been electrocuted.
But she still reached out her hand.
Shen Changji placed the medicinal wine on a cotton cloth and gently wiped Su Miao's face.
To make it easier and faster for Shen Changji to apply the medicine, Su Miao sat forward a little.
The movement wasn't large, but the abrasion on the side of her neck was enough to make her gasp.
Because of the clothes covering him, Shen Changji did not notice that place.
Su Miao brushed an unnatural blush onto her face, her gaze darting away as she said, "I can do it myself in a moment."
"Now you want to keep your distance from me?"
"No... I just thought that maybe outside..."
"There is no possibility."
Shen Changji could no longer bear it. He grabbed her hand and pulled her down onto his lap, his tone brooking no refusal.
Su Miao's wound on her side was not large, so there was no need to remove her clothes; it could be seen simply by pulling open her collar.
Her skin was already fair, and the bleeding wound under her eyes looked very conspicuous, but with the rise and fall of her breath, it also had a certain allure.
Especially when Shen Changji got close, his breath hit her neck, making her feel a little uncomfortable.
They were standing too close together, and when Su Miao felt uncomfortable, she made a lot of small movements and tended to fidget with him.
After a while, Shen Changji got really angry because of her mess.
Even though he knew it wasn't the right time to think about such things, his body could never resist her temptation.
What's more, he only needed to look up to see her luscious lips.
Su Miao felt extremely tormented, as if she were being fried in a pan of oil.
Especially the cotton cloth soaked in medicinal wine, as it brushed against her neck, seemed to tease her heart, tickling and irritating her.
Suddenly, a low, husky voice came from below her neck, "Stop rubbing against me."
She froze, noticing his body gradually getting hot.
Su Miao glanced down and her face instantly burned even redder.
"Is it...not done yet?"
"You're making it impossible for me to concentrate."
Su Miao: "..."
She immediately froze, too afraid to move.
But the feeling became more and more obvious, so obvious that she couldn't ignore it.
Whether Shen Changji did it intentionally or unintentionally, Su Miao felt that the medicine had been on for a very long time.
When she returned to her seat, she still couldn't calm down.
"I'll take you back first. I'll let you know as soon as anything happens, because it's not safe here," Shen Changji said in a low, hoarse voice.
