For Ronghua, a person without extra spiritual power, to have a long walk was very tough. Notably, there was an encumbrance around her when she could hardly step forward. She didn’t know whether Rongnuan was so tired that he couldn’t walk, because he always stayed behind her.

“Are you tired?” she asked suddenly. Rongnuan was stunned, “No, I’m not.”

Looking at him, who was neither blushing nor panting, she felt that he seemed not tired, so she waved her hand and continued to walk.

Rongnuan looked her up and down from behind. Even though she kept walking, he could find that her strength had melted. He plucked up the courage to ask, “Are you tired?”

Ronghua stopped her leg that was about to take a step forward, turned around, and asked coldly, “What do you think?”

Rongnuan didn’t dare to look at Ronghua’s expression anymore, “If you’re tired, I can carry you on my back...” His voice tailed-away so much that Ronghua could not even hear him.

“What did you say?” Ronghua frowned and asked, wondering why he became more and more afraid of her now, and even his voice got lower and lower.

Hearing her asked him again, he dared not speak anymore. But when he saw how tired she was, he finally spoke again with a relatively louder voice, “I say, if you are tired, I can carry you on my back!”

This time, Ronghua heard him clearly and then looked at him calmly, “Carry me on your back? Just with your slim body?”

Rongnuan thought unhappily, “How come am I slim? I think I have good shape!” Looking at him who pouted and looked wronged, she couldn’t help smiling.

“Forget it. Don’t act like I’m bullying you.” While saying, she rolled her eyes at him.

After walking for a while, Ronghua noticed that he still did not catch up. She turned her head helplessly and asked, “So what, do you want me to carry you?”

He looked up and said, “Oh! I’m coming.”

They walked forward aimlessly. “Ronghua, where are we going?”

Ronghua didn’t answer him, nor did she glance at him. She just continued walking. Rongnuan was a little disappointed and felt that he was an untrustworthy person in her heart.

Ronghua didn’t notice his emotions. She didn’t know where to go neither, and she just walked blindly.

Where should she go? To go to look for someone? Now, it didn’t matter whether she found someone or not.

“Rongnuan!”

“Hmm?” Rongnuan didn’t get it at the moment when she suddenly called him, but he answered her subconsciously.

“What kind of person am I in your eyes?”

Hearing Ronghua’s baffling words, Rongnuan subconsciously glanced at her face and found that it was a little pale. It seemed to be the first time he had seen such an expression on her face in so long a time.

“Why do you ask about this?” he asked in reply, ducking her question.

Ronghua lowered her head to look at the green grass on the ground, and she said with a smile, “I just want to ask you. What’s the matter? Can’t you tell me?”

“No.”

Rongnuan felt that it was strange for her to ask this question suddenly, but he couldn’t tell what was wrong. He stayed with her for only a short time, but he could feel that she was different from other women.

What she owned was far more than he had imagined.

“Ronghua, are you... a god?” he asked uncertainly.

Ronghua did not scold him but asked, “Why do you think so?”

Her reaction surprised him, and he continued, “Since I knew you, I have felt that you are very different from the others.”

Ronghua said, “Different from others? Do you think I’m a god just because of this? Have you ever seen a god like me?”

It choked him. It was true that such a god was indeed rare. “But your ability...”

It was just a suspicion and conjecture of him that Ronghua was a god. When they were in that mountain range, he knew that they could not fly at all because its founder had made a secret method there. But she took him to the top of a tree, and usually, no one climbed up on it. He would not believe that she just climbed up carrying him.

Later, when they got in that inn, the ghosts should have sucked all their souls as soon as discovering their living souls. But it was not the case. “Are they afraid of us?” he guessed, but there were no suitable reasons. He had proved that Ronghua had no spiritual power. If she had some, she would not spend so much energy to lie to him. The character she appeared in these days since they met showed that she would not have the interest to do that at all.

For the first time, Ronghua said to him earnestly, “Sometimes, what you see may not necessarily be what you want to see.”

Then Ronghua turned around abruptly. She pressed her hands down on Rongnuan’s shoulders, forcing him to look into her eyes, and she muttered, “Listen. The reason why you think I am a god is that my ability is astonishing. However, you should remember that there is no god in this world, but only the humans who have not yet become a god.”

As soon as she let go of Rongnuan, the white in her eyes immediately disappeared, and her eyes became clear again. “Ronghua?”

“What’s wrong?”

He suddenly asked with a smile, “Are you tired?”

Ronghua began to gather nimbus in her hands, “What?”

She saw his smile getting brighter and brighter. “I’ll carry you on my back!”

The nimbus gathered in her hands immediately dissipated, “Are you able to do that?”

She wanted to break his confidence. “I didn’t expect you to be quite interesting.”

After speaking, he squatted down in front of Ronghua and waited for her to climb onto his back. Looking at him, Ronghua hesitated whether she should go up or not. What she said was just a joke, and she didn’t expect that this guy would take it seriously — what a fool.

Ronghua threw herself onto Rongnuan’s back. It was not the first time that he carried her. But last time he wore chains. Wait, where were his chains?

With this thought in mind, Ronghua suddenly realized something incredible. When did his chains disappear?

If he had not carried her on his back today, it would have taken a long time for her to recall that he should be in chains.

She put her hands on his shoulders and squeezed with slight force. She felt that the sturdiness of his body should not belong to a weak person. It should belong to the one who had been practicing saber and sword all year round.

She didn’t notice Rongnuan’s condition before. No wonder he wanted to be with her as soon as he met her without asking about her origin. He just kept thinking about how to keep up with her. Moreover, Ronghua recalled that she had subdued a lone wolf in the mountain range.

She had completely forgotten about this kind of thing. But as for Rongnuan, wasn’t he a drug slave? His memory should not be awful. She didn’t believe that he would also forget that they had a lone wolf that could fly, and he should have already planned all of this!

It was indeed an unexpected fall that she even got trapped by this human.

Thinking of this, she felt it was explainable why there was a big python!

An icicle with sharp ends quietly formed in her left hand. As long as Ronghua moved her hand gently, she could kill him at once.

Even though the icicle made no sound when it came into being, it was hard to conceal its bone-chilling coldness. Rongnuan knew what was going on without a look.

“Is it fun to follow me?”

Ronghua breathed into his ear and spoke in a rarely gentle tone. He was stunned for a moment while feeling her tenderness suddenly. After he realized what happened, he said with a voice trembling but filled with enjoyment, “Ronghua...”

His voice shocked Ronghua so much that she felt a tremor in her hands, but she finally managed to resist the feeling of a limp and numb and had the icicle approaching him, “Tell me. What’s your purpose for following me? Are you here to monitor me or to kill me?”

He didn’t say anything but continued walking forward with her on his back. When Ronghua saw that he kept silent, her eyes moved slightly, and then she looked at him with some evil and thought, “You decide to hold your tongue, right? I have many ways to torture you!”

Ronghua put away the icicle, and her hand that had just held the icicle slowly slid down through the collar of his clothes. She stroked his hot body everywhere with her ice-cold hand. Rongnuan was not used to it in the beginning, but later, he tolerated her behaviors.

His breathing became somewhat sharp and heavy. He held back and said in a low voice, “Enough! Stop it!”

Hearing his words, Ronghua smiled in smug satisfaction, “So do you want to say something now?”

She didn’t take her hand back but still put it on his abs, waiting for his answer. But after a while, he stood still and kept panting while carrying her on his back.

“How...how did you know that?!”

He tried hard to adapt to such an uncomfortable situation. Under the influence of Ronghua’s behaviors just now, his breath was still somewhat unstable. Besides, her hand was still in his clothes, making him unable to move even if he wanted to.

Her face got closer to his. Gazing at his reddish face, she asked, “Where are your chains?”

As soon as she mentioned the chains, he remembered something. Chains! The chains that hung on his body and bound his hands and feet. While they were in that mountain range, he could not help but break free from them as he saw her suddenly jump down to face those lone wolves. Later, when he found that she was safe and sound, he was relieved but forgot to get the chains back on his body. As a result, she did not ask, and he just pretended that nothing happened.

“Ronghua, can you listen to my explanation? I can explain why I...”

“Stop—” Ronghua interrupted him, “What I hate the most in my life is the explanation. What is the use of it? Isn’t it pale and weak?” She waved one hand, with the other hand pressing against his body.

“You’re so pretty. I think it’s too unworthy for you to be a little drug slave, so I saved you. But now it seems that I’ve been trapped, haven’t I?” Ronghua asked while her hand kept moving. Rongnuan used both hands to hold her legs, and he was in a dilemma at this moment.

“Ronghua—” Rongnuan said in a more serious voice. But how come would she give in to such a method?

“What’s wrong? Can’t you stand it anymore?”

She continued to provoke him, “When you lied to me, did you think about the consequences?”

He had a rare retort, “Have you ever thought of my feelings when you tease me like this? Don’t forget, although I am a drug slave, I am still a — man.”

It was right. However, Ronghua said, “Are you able to defeat me with your little spiritual power?”

She didn’t think highly of him. Other people might not know about his cultivation, but she did.

“Ronghua, as you said, I approached you on purpose. Then don’t you realize that my cultivation is higher than yours?”

Rongnuan suddenly put Ronghua down and threw himself on her despite everything else. Ronghua was startled and then got stunned. She had only tried to tease others and had never done this.

What Rongnuan was going to do?!

With a pair of red eyes, he gasped unnaturally. The strength of his hands was increasing, and he pinched Ronghua’s shoulders so hard that she felt pain. He forcefully suppressed her, and she even forgot to resist but only looked at him with a blank expression.

“...Rongnuan?” She tried to wake him up.

It was the first time that she had been suppressed under someone’s body since she could remember.

“Rongnuan, get up first!” Ronghua could feel that the hard chest muscle of him was pressing on her, which made her feel a little breathless. Although she didn’t need to breathe, it was not good for them to keep this posture.

“Shut up! Don’t talk!”

She shut her mouth tactfully because she found that he was trying to calm himself down right here. If she had not been afraid that he would get hurt, she would have burned him to death with the fire of nothingness.
