Chapter 1535: Chapter 1535: The Month Is Getting Older (5)

Following the direction in which Xiaobai had sniffed out, they found it was just over a hill and they were out of Governor’s Office Mountain, only to see a desert outside, with a road stretching into the distance within the desert.

In other words, this place wasn’t very far from the grasslands once you left it.

“It looks like Miss Peng was taken to the Royal Court of Yuan Country,” Yang Ruxin concluded in the end, “As for how to rescue her, I’ll leave the planning to you all.”

“Mm,” Qi Jingyi nodded, “Let’s go back and discuss with Brother Crown Prince first, and then make a long-term plan.”

Yang Ruxin nodded; she wouldn’t boast and claim she could do the rescue on her own, even with Xiaobai, Xiaohei, and the others’ help, she wasn’t capable enough to confront a whole country.

She was aware of her own limitations.

Besides, Peng Jing wasn’t worth the risks for her.

On the way back, regardless of the others, Yang Ruxin felt much more relaxed with Gu Qingheng’s company, and even picked a lot of herbs.

Gu Qingheng was in such a good mood that he picked wildflowers and wove a garland for her.

As for the two flaunting their affection, Qi Jingyi could only roll his eyes and grumble now and then, “Acting like somebody’s woman.”

“You’re jealous,” Gu Qingheng slightly raised his eyebrows, “You have women, but alas, none that would stick with you through life and death, what a pity.”

“You…” Qi Jingyi was at a loss for words, pointing at Gu Qingheng without being able to articulate a response, “You think I can’t snatch your wife away?”

“I don’t believe it!” Yang Ruxin chimed in, “Unless his wife changes, you won’t be able to steal her away, so don’t waste your effort and end up embarrassing yourself.”

“You… You guys are too much…” Qi Jingyi sighed, “Xinxin, tell me where I am inferior to him?”

“He is better than you in every way,” Yang Ruxin held Gu Qingheng’s hand, interlocking their fingers, “In my eyes, my husband is the most perfect, so comparing yourself with him is self-abuse…”

“Wife, praising me like this in public, I might get embarrassed…” Gu Qingheng could not hide his smile.

“It’s fine, you’ll get used to it with more practice,” Yang Ruxin lifted her other hand to touch Gu Qingheng’s face, “Getting embarrassed means I haven’t praised you enough, I will definitely change that.”

“Mm,” Gu Qingheng nodded, “My wife is also the most beautiful…”

“Ugh!” Qi Jingyi exaggeratedly mimicked a vomiting gesture.

“Eighth Master, having a reaction means the ‘months’ are significant; you should be careful,” Yang Ruxin seriously looked at Qi Jingyi, “Otherwise, if you upset your ‘fetal qi’, that won’t be good…”

“Fetal qi?” Qi Jingyi was taken aback for a moment before he instantly reacted, “You…”

But by then, Gu Qingheng was already leading Yang Ruxin swiftly down the mountain.

“I’m going to die of anger,” Qi Jingyi shouted in frustration, but there was nothing he could do about it.

The guards around them wanted to laugh but didn’t dare to, all holding it in until their faces turned red.

“If you want to laugh, then laugh, you all look like you can’t relieve yourselves, uncomfortable…” Qi Jingyi glared at the crowd, and then hurriedly made his way down the mountain.

The guards’ lips twitched, and then they burst into laughter.

As for Hei Shu and Ramon, they weren’t tied up, but they obediently followed along because a small snake perched on each of their shoulders, ready to bite if they misbehaved. They weren’t foolish enough to suffer this kind of torment for no reason, especially with a White Wolf keeping watch on them.
