Even though she had never been in a relationship in her two lifetimes, how could she not understand the meaning in Xiao Yanchu's eyes?
“Ah Jin, after we get out, will you be my queen? I don’t know how much longer I can live, but I swear that as long as I, Xiao Yanchu, live, I will protect you for the rest of my life, and you will be the only one for me in this life.”
Su Ruojin stopped what she was doing.
Last time, Xiao Yanchu made her the Regent's Consort, but it was just to make things easier for him. What about this time?
She was stunned for a moment, her heart was pounding so fast it felt like it was going to jump out of her chest, her blood rushed to her head, and her mind went blank.
Has she been confessed to?
Looking at the little girl so close to him, who had a rare, adorable look on her face, Xiao Yanchu smiled, lowered his head, and slowly approached Su Ruojin.
Just as their lips were about to touch, Su Ruojin seemed to suddenly wake up. Looking at the enlarged face in front of her, she was so frightened that she pushed him away.
Hiss~~~
Xiao Yanchu was caught off guard and pushed to the ground. Touching his wound, he involuntarily hissed.
Hearing the cry of pain, Su Ruojin blushed and came over to help him up, saying, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
Xiao Yanchu's smile deepened when he saw the blush creeping onto the little girl's face.
She wasn't as heartless to herself as she appeared.
The girl is shy, so what's wrong with her taking the initiative?
After checking Xiao Yanchu's wounds and finding them unaffected, Su Ruojin was relieved and quickly tried to ease the awkwardness: "What happened just now? We've already caught the human-faced snake, so why was there a baby crying?"
Su Ruojin was tackled and fell to the ground by Xiao Yanchu, and did not see what happened.
Xiao Yanchu said solemnly, "The other human-faced snake is twice the size of the one we caught. Perhaps what we caught was its offspring."
Su Ruojin suddenly realized: "It must be. Human-faced snakes have a hard time reproducing, and they can only have one offspring at a time. It will definitely not let go of the child it lost. This cliff is steep, and it will not be able to find us for a while. We should find a way to get up here as soon as possible."
Hu Qing should have realized that the two of them are missing. If he sends a signal, he can probably find them very quickly.
"I'll send out a whistling arrow." Su Ruojin took out the whistling arrow and was about to send it out when Xiao Yanchu stopped her.
"No, we can't fire it now. That human-faced snake might be nearby. What if it follows the trail if we fire the whistle? We should wait until dawn, by which time it should have left."
Su Ruojin thought it made sense. After looking around, she realized there shouldn't be any danger here, so she put away the whistling arrow.
"Then I'll go find some dry wood to make a fire." Su Ruojin was about to turn around to find dry wood when Xiao Yanchu grabbed her and made a shushing gesture.
Su Ruojin stopped in her tracks, her face tense. Had the human-faced snake caught up with them so quickly?
She was able to catch the little human-faced snake before because she had prepared in advance and used a tranquilizing drug.
But if it really came down to a face-to-face confrontation, Su Ruojin wasn't confident she could handle this incredibly fast human-faced snake.
Xiao Yanchu pointed in a direction and silently said, "There's movement."
Holding the poisoned needle in her hand, Su Ruojin held her breath and stared intently in the direction Xiao Yanchu was pointing.
"Help...help..."
Someone's there!
It's a human!
The sound was very faint; if it weren't for the night, and Xiao Yanchu's heightened hearing developed through martial arts training, he might not have been able to hear it.
Su Ruojin breathed a sigh of relief. Under the current circumstances, people were much safer than the human-faced snake.
Her eyes suddenly lit up. Could it be Mu Jingshan?
Xiao Yanchu understood the meaning in Su Ruojin's eyes and took her hand, saying, "Let's go take a look."
The two walked around a large boulder and discovered that there was a cave behind it, and the sound was coming from inside the cave.
