Smelling the faint ambergris scent of Shuo Ling calmed her down. At this time, she felt warm in her heart. Had she already fallen in love with Shuo Ling without her knowing?

But when she thought about it again, she felt that the famous Marquis Shuo, who had mysophobia, wouldn't like a girl who grew up in a brothel. Actually, there were two little figures fighting in Yang Zijin's head for now.

One said, "Say 'yes' to him. He must've been attracted to me because of my distinctive personality. That's why he likes you."

But the other one said, "Are you joking? Marquis Shuo, a man of such a high status, would've seen various kinds of women. How would he like a girl who grew up in a brothel?"

Yang Zijin couldn't think clearly now!

Seeing Yang Zijin neither speak nor move at this moment, Shuo Ling then started to move his lips. He looked at Yang Zijin and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

"Ah... Nothing, nothing." Yang Zijin came to her senses and responded quickly.

Just when she felt that the first little figure was about to win, she quickly recovered from it because of Shuo Ling's question. She said, "Are you kidding me?"

Then she pushed him away with her hands, and turned her head to the other side so as to avoid looking at Shuo Ling.

Seeing her in a panic, Shuo Ling couldn't help but feel for her. He walked towards Yang Zijin, holding her face with his hands, and said domineeringly, "I'm not kidding. Mrs. Marquis will not be anyone but you!"

Yang Zijin suddenly felt that the atmosphere was getting weird, so her eyes started evading. After hearing his words, she felt touched. Was she already used to Shuo Ling's accompany? Had she fallen for him a long time ago?

Seeing Yang Zijin say nothing, Shuo Ling then asked, "Well? You don't want it?"

"Who would ask in such a direct way?" Yang Zijin complained angrily.

Hearing Yang Zijin’s words, Shuo Ling hugged Yang Zijin and said with some excitement, "So you agreed?"

Yang Zijin, who was unprepared, didn't expect Shuo Ling to hug her suddenly. Out of instinct, she clung to Shuo Ling's neck tightly with her hands, and even the hair on her body stood on end. She said angrily, "I didn't say that."

"I will make you agree. Now I'm taking you to a place." He jumped out of the window with Yang Zijin in his arms.

Yang Zijin didn't expect Shuo Ling to say something like that. When she realized what happened, she had already been taken out of the mansion by him.

Yang Zijin couldn't help but say, "Put me down, put me down. How could you take me away without my consent?"

As she spoke, she struggled to get out of his arms.

"Hush... trust me." Shuo Ling lowered his head to Yang Zijin. In the moonlight, Zijin saw a smile on Shuo Ling's face as the sunshine in the cold winter.

Yang Zijin couldn't help staring at him. She stopped struggling and let him hold her like that.

Apparently, Shuo Ling was very satisfied with Yang Zijin's reaction.

It was not until they approached the city gate that Shuo Ling put Yang Zijin down and went over the high city walls with her.

Those who were patrolling felt surprised to see this scene from a distance!

A cute couple was flying high in the sky with a round moon behind them. The patrollers couldn't help but think if the fairy from the moon came to meet her lover here.

The patrollers didn't take their eyes away from them until they could no longer be seen.

Shuo Ling slowly landed outside the city gate with Yang Zijin. After they stood steadily, she couldn't help but ask, "Where are you taking me?"

"You'll find out later." Shuo Ling said to Yang Zijin.

Yang Zijin curled her upper lip after hearing it.

Seeing this, Shuo Ling couldn't help but lightly kiss her head, and then said, "Let's go. We're almost there."

After hearing his words, Yang Zijin nodded. Since they were out of the city, it was better to listen to him. If this shaky Shuo Ling left her alone outside the city gate, she might need to stay here overnight.

Staying here overnight was not a big deal, but if people knew that she didn't go back all night, she would definitely get unwanted attention in this ancient conservative world.

If Shuo Ling knew that Yang Zijin was thinking this way, he would be so angry that he would spit out blood.

Yang Zijin closely followed Shuo Ling, and accidentally stepped on a stone. "Oops," she said and then fell to the ground.

Marquis Shuo, who heard the sound, quickly turned around and strode to Yang Zijin, asking anxiously, "What's wrong?"

"My ankle seems to have been sprained." Yang Zijin frowned because of the pain.

After hearing it, Shuo Ling carried Yang Zijin to the grass nearby and began to check her injury.

Shuo Ling, allegedly with mysophobia, unexpectedly took off her shoes and even the socks inside. There was absolutely no sign of disdain.

Shuo Ling gently rolled up the pants of Yang Zijin. He saw that her ankle had started to swell, and the bones were obviously dislocated, and there was even congestion.

As soon as Shuo Ling touched Yang Zijin's foot and found out which bone was dislocated, he heard Yang Zijin's shouting.

"Ah... it hurts!" Yang Zijin began to roar!

Shuo Ling looked at Yang Zijin at the moment and said, "Put up with it for a little while. You will be fine soon."

Shuo Ling had just found out where the dislocated bones were, so he helped relocate her bones while Yang Zijin was not paying attention.

"Ah..." Yang Zijin screamed and freed her foot from Shuo Ling's hands.

Tears fell down her cheeks because of the pain.

Seeing this, Shuo Ling smiled and said, "Unexpectedly, you also cry. The more I look at you when you cry, the more I like you."

"Shuo Ling, you... you... you take advantage of me." Yang Zijin shouted at Shuo Ling at this moment.

Seeing Yang Zijin pretend to be angry, Shuo Ling became more and more fond of her. He asked, "You said that I took advantage of you. How did I do that?"

"You know my foot... my foot was sprained, and..." Yang Zijin moved her foot gently, and before she finished, she changed her way of speaking.

Then she said in surprise, "Well... why doesn't it hurt so much? Did you... Did you help me fix it?"

"What? So, I'm someone who likes to take advantage of people in your heart?" Shuo Ling's look changed slightly.

Seeing Shuo Ling's grave look, Yang Zijin said hurriedly, "No... no..."

"All right." Then he reached his hands towards Yang Zijin's foot.

As soon as he touched her, Zijin shivered again and took back her foot in a hurry. She asked in a panic, "What are you doing?"

"If you don't want to lie in bed tomorrow, let me take a look at it now." Shuo Ling looked at Yang Zijin with a serious face.

Yang Zijin thought for a moment, but still stretched her feet towards Marquis Shuo.

Shuo Ling rubbed gently on the congested area of her foot.

This time it was Yang Zijin's turn to get surprised. Seeing him rubbing her foot seriously, she doubted if he was the Shuo Ling she knew.

But somehow, she got a warm feeling in her heart. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but blush.

"Marquis Shuo, I feel much better now." Yang Zijin said after about a quarter.

Shuo Ling took back his hands and said, "Stand up and try to walk for a little bit."

Yang Zijin nodded, stood up, and took a few steps.

"It really doesn't hurt anymore." Yang Zijin couldn't help but be surprised! Then she tried to walk forward.

Suddenly, she said, "Ouch."

"You just recovered. How can you walk so quickly?" Shuo Ling quickly stepped forward and squatted down to check her foot.

Now it was Yang Zijin who got embarrassed. She said in a low voice, "Hmm... Hmm... I just accidentally stepped into this pit."

Then she pointed to the grass pit under her foot.

She thought Shuo Ling would blame her for making a fuss, but unexpectedly he carried her in his arms and started walking forward.

After walking for about thirty minutes, Shuo Ling heard a slight gasp from Yang Zijin.

"Hmm... Marquis Shuo, I can walk on my own!" Yang Zijin whispered.

Shuo Ling replied coldly, "Shut up and hold me tightly."

Yang Zijin had no choice but to stop talking. After a while, Shuo Ling stopped at a cave, and then put her down.

Yang Zijin stretched her body a little bit. As she was held by Shuo Ling all the time, her legs got numb.

"Are you feeling better?" Seeing Yang Zijin, Shuo Ling asked in a hurry as he was worried.

Yang Zijin murmured softly at this moment, "My foot is no longer painful, but my legs are probably about to be crippled."

"What?" Shuo Ling asked Yang Zijin as she opened her mouth without saying anything.

Yang Zijin quickly changed what she said, "I mean, my foot is already OK now. Thank you for carrying me all the way."

"Well, good. Let's go inside." Shuo Ling was obviously satisfied with Yang Zijin's words.

As he was speaking, he entered the cave.

Yang Zijin hurriedly followed him. Although the moonlight was still bright, it was in the middle of the night, and there were a few strange screams from time to time around here. She could not help but feel scared.

There was no moonlight inside the cave. It was completely dark.

Yang Zijin couldn't help but cling to Shuo Ling.

"I didn't expect you to be so afraid of the darkness." Seeing Zijin acting like this, Shuo Ling said. Yang Zijin, who was not afraid of anything, was afraid of the darkness!

When she heard Shuo Ling say so, Yang Zijin looked as if her secret was found out, "No, not really."

"Then, can you let go of me?" Hearing Yang Zijin's words, Shuo Ling got a big smile on his face. She was clinging to him all the time, but she refused to admit it.

Hearing what Shuo Ling said, Yang Zijin quickly let go of her hand, "Ah...oh!"

She couldn't believe that she was like a fool in front of Shuo Ling. If she let this complicated man get to know her shortcomings, she must be laughed at a lot in the future.

So, she pretended to be calm and quickly quibbled, "Who said I was afraid of the darkness? I... I just had a sudden pain in my foot, so..."

"So that's why you clung to me?" Shuo Ling chuckled and finished Yang Zijin's words.

Then he stretched out his hand and held Yang Zijin's hand. He helped to save her face, "Since you still have some pain in your foot, and I'm a very generous person, let me hold your hand and help you."

Then he walked deeper into the cave with Zijin's hand in his.

The deeper they went, the quieter it got. Yang Zijin could not help asking, "Where are we going? Haven't we arrived yet?"

But there was nothing but silence.

After a few more steps forward, Shuo Ling stopped and started to fumble on the wall.

At this time, a bat suddenly made some big noises and slipped past Yang Zijin.

Yang Zijin shuddered and jumped directly at Shuo Ling. She couldn't help but scold him in her heart. What a ghost place he brought her to!
