His heart tightened when he saw the tears flowing in her eyes. He pulled her hands away from his ears and pulled her into his embrace.

He pressed his thin lips to her ear and softly said, "Okay, I won't say it."

Pausing for a moment, he continued, "If you are unwilling, I will not force you."

The woman buried her head in his embrace and snorted softly.

This night, was yet another night of pure chat under the quilt.

General Xiao was helpless.

The village was hundreds of miles away from the Deities Templar.

The Grand Dao required nearly four hours.

If they were to walk around the small path, they would be able to save about half of the time. They would be able to reach there in about two hours.

After discussing with Qu Ci, Xiao Jingyue agreed with him and abandoned the carriage to walk over.

Because he did not return last night, Qu Ling was still wearing the wedding uniform from yesterday.

There was no padlock on the makeshift "new house." She was afraid that thieves would enter the house and steal it, so she even hung all the silver ornaments back on her body.

Her attire rumbled, as if she was going to 'marry' again today.

On the other hand, Xiao Jingyue had unknowingly asked his men to retrieve their clothes and change. He was currently dressed in his usual clothes, neat and clean.

The two of them stood side by side. One looked like a nouveau riche, while the other looked like an elegant and unrestrained young master.

Qu Ling thought, luckily she did not bring out all of the silver accessories that Xiao Jingyue had given her yesterday, otherwise, she would have been exhausted to death by now.

The group walked for about an hour under the hot sun. Qu Ling was too tired to walk any further.

She stopped, bent down with her hands on her knees, and panted, "No, I need to rest for a while!"

Ah Xin wanted to go over and support Qu Ling, but he was tightly pulled by Qu Ci.

"Grandma?"

Ah Xin looked at Qu Ci, who seemed to not understand the situation, and gestured for her to continue watching.

She curiously looked over and saw that the handsome Chinese man had suddenly squatted down in front of her sister.

Ye Zichen didn't know what he said to his sister, but he suddenly pulled her up and carried her on his back in a rather domineering manner.

Ah Xin's rosy face revealed a smile, and said to Qu Ci: "Grandma, in the future, I want to marry men like Brother-in-law."

Qu Ci shot a glance at her and coldly snorted: "That's because you haven't seen a better one."

Ah Xin playfully stuck out her tongue and did not speak further.

On the other side, Qu Ling was lying on Xiao Jingyue's back, looking at him with disdain: "Why is your back so hard, it's so hard that it's hurt on my chest!"

Xiao Jingyue was quiet for a moment, then said: "The jewelry on Madam's neck is not ready."

Qu Ling was amused, "This was given to me by you, if you want to blame something, blame yourself."

Xiao Jingyue did not reply.

After a while, he asked in a low voice, "Can you be a bit more obedient?"

Qu Ling retorted in an unconvinced manner, "Which eye of yours saw that I'm restless?!"

Xiao Jingyue gritted his teeth and squeezed out a word: "If you want to rub, then rub those things on your neck off before you rub it!"

Qu Ling was startled, after understanding the situation, her small face immediately flushed red.

She was embarrassed and annoyed, but she couldn't bear to walk on her own. She froze and didn't dare to move.

Xiao Jingyue exhaled lightly, and continued walking forward without looking at her.

After it had quieted down for a while, he heard his own wife ask again, "Xiao Jingyue, am I heavy?"

Only now did he remember to ask this question. He was both angry and amused. "You're carrying a pig with a silver ornament weighing ten Jin, do you think it's heavy?"

The "pig" with ten kilograms of silver ornaments opened its mouth in anger, fiercely biting towards Xiao Jingyue's shoulder, in exchange for the man's low laugh.

They made a lot of noise along the way, and unknowingly, they were getting closer to the Deities Templar.

After walking a bit further, they passed the wooden bridge in front of them, climbed the hundred steps, and passed through the large plaza. At the very end of the road was the palace with a statue of an ox on top of it.

Because the Chi You shrine had been occupied by the evil sects many years ago, all the Miao people had gone to the Zhu Rong Temple. After the evil sects had been destroyed, the entire Chi You shrine seemed to have been thrown into a panic.

Perhaps it was because of this reason that they did not see a single person as they walked further inside.

Qu Ling looked at the fiery-red statue of the ox head from afar and his heart suddenly felt heavy.

She turned her head, rested her head on Xiao Jingyue's shoulder, looked at his handsome face and muttered: "You're actually quite a fool."

Xiao Jingyue asked softly: "What do you mean?"

"I've already promised to help you regardless of the past, and yet you're still jumping into the fire pit yourself. If you're not stupid, then what is?"

Xiao Jingyue raised his brows slightly, and asked: "May I ask Madam, what do you mean by 'forget about the past?'"

Qu Ling suddenly thought back to last night, when she almost cried because she said something wrong. Her face suddenly flushed.

She had always felt that she was just a little delicate, but she didn't expect that she would be so hypocritical at times.

Thinking about it now, he felt extremely embarrassed.

For a moment, he felt slightly embarrassed.

After she choked for a while, she angrily said, "Can't you listen to the words of others or listen to the main points!?"

Xiao Jingyue chuckled, he was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "Madam thinks that it is a fire pit, but this general does not."

Qu Ling frowned, and was about to say something, but he heard Xiao Jingyue say: "We're here, come down."

She raised her head, looked at the majestic shrine in front of her, and without saying a word, she got off Xiao Jingyue's back.

The Dark Guard stayed behind to guard the gates of the shrine and did not follow them in.

Entering the hall, Qu Ling looked up and saw the idol that was worshipped by the Miao people for generations.

The statue in front of him was about two feet tall. It had a bull's head and two horns on its head. It held a gigantic sword in its hand.

Such an image was undoubtedly Chi You.

This was Qu Ling's first time coming to this shrine, so he was curious, and couldn't help but to look around.

Actually, there was nothing much to look at. Other than the deity statue, there were also some other offerings from the past. There was nothing else in the shrine.

Qu Ling retracted his gaze, and followed along with the person beside him, they knelt in front of the god statue.

After kowtowing sincerely three times, Qu Ci suddenly looked at Xiao Jingyue, the meaning in his eyes could be understood without words.

In regards to the matter of making an oath, Qu Ci's attitude was abnormally resolute, and he did not disagree.

Qu Ling frowned, he looked at her grandma in confusion.

At first she thought her grandmother had broken up to make her feel better, but now it seemed more than that.

In a trance, a warm, large palm suddenly gently held onto her hand that was hanging by her side.

She subconsciously looked at the man beside her, but the man did not look at her. He looked up at the statue of Chi You and said in a deep voice, "I, Xiao Jingyue, swear to Chi You that in this life …"

Qu Ling's heart fiercely trembled, and he called out: "Xiao Jingyue!"

The man's voice paused, but he still didn't turn around. He tightened his grip on her hand.

Qu Ci shot her granddaughter a displeased glance, warning her not to say anything more.

Qu Ling shrank his neck in fear and did not utter a sound for a long while.

It was precisely because she lowered her head that she did not see the corner of the man's lips slowly rise up from the side of her body.

The person beside him continued, "In this life, I will only marry Qu …"

"Slash …"

"Bang!"

"Master, be careful!"

The sound of the window being smashed and the cries of the Xiao Er sounded out at the same time, interrupting Xiao Jingyue's words once again.

Qu Ling rubbed his face in a daze as some warm liquid dripped down.

When he looked at his fingertip again, the bright red color was extremely eye-catching.

Yes... Blood!
