Xiao Jingyue lowered his eyes and was silent for a long time, before raising his eyes to look at her again.

He stretched out his long arm and pulled her into his embrace. With a chuckle, he asked, "Is Madame still angry?"

Qu Ling grabbed the blood spider and stuffed it into the man's chest, taking the chance to struggle out, he raised his eyebrows and glared: If you want to say something, say it, don't touch it!

Xiao Jingyue casually threw the Blood Spider away and once again hugged the lady tightly. He buried his head into her neck and contentedly sniffed her unique scent, exhaling deeply and saying: "Don't move, let me hug you for a while."

Qu Ling was startled, and asked: "Did the wounds on my body hurt again?"

He had just received an injury yesterday, so he was out for the night. After returning to the village, he didn't have the time to rest properly and had to start running again. Thus, it was normal for him to feel uncomfortable.

When she thought about how he couldn't leave the stronghold immediately because of her, she felt a little guilty and obediently lay in his arms without moving.

Xiao Jingyue nodded, "En, the wound hurts."

"Why don't I call the Xiao Er over to apply the medicine for you?"

"No need."

Qu Ling frowned, but did not try to persuade her otherwise.

The Xiao Er outside the carriage naturally heard the conversation and was greatly shocked in his heart.

He had followed his master for so many years, yet he had never seen his master show any weakness in front of anyone.

Even when the old prince had used his family rules to beat him half to death in the ancestral hall, he had not made a sound, revealing even the slightest weakness.

But now, in front of his wife …

Xiao Er secretly sighed, he calmed down and continued to drive the horses forward.

The road was narrow and winding, so the carriage didn't dare to move too fast. It wasn't until it was dark that they descended the mountain.

There were no relay stations at the foot of the mountain, so the group had to stay overnight.

The Xiao Er arranged for the guards of the Duke Palaces to take turns patrolling. Xiao Yi brought two Dark Guard s to gather some firewood and see if they could catch some prey.

Qu Ci and Ah Xin supported each other as they alighted the horse carriage. Seeing Qu Ling bounding over, both of them couldn't help but smile.

Before long, a Dark Guard brought the firewood back and started a fire skillfully.

Qu Ling held Qu Ci's arm with one hand and Ah Xin who was looking around curiously with the other hand, walked to the bonfire and sat down, laughing: "When we return to the capital and call for Jiang Huo and Jin Yi, we will be able to play games around the bonfire like we did in the past."

Ah Xin said, a little sad, "I don't remember how they looked like."

Back then, when the three of them left the Miao Boundary, she was only seven years old. After five years had passed, the faces of the two people in her memories had already become extremely blurry.

Sister too. If her grandma hadn't told her that her elder sister was back, she probably wouldn't have been able to recognize her elder sister the first time she saw her.

Qu Ling patted her shoulder consolingly, "I'll remember when I see it."

Ah Xin nodded, and assented with a heavy grunt.

Qu Ci looked at them gently for a while before suddenly saying: "I won't be going to Zhijing with you guys. When we reach Qiushui Town tomorrow, we'll split up there."

Qu Ling was startled, "Why?"

Ah Xin also asked closely, not understanding what was going on.

Qu Ci did not immediately answer, but suddenly turned to look at the silent Xiao Jingyue, his smile becoming smaller, and he asked: "How do you plan on finding these things?"

Xiao Jingyue said: "Never heard of it, I have no way to make a move."

Other than a name, no one knew what it looked like. It was indeed hard to find.

Qu Ci took out a piece of paper from his chest pocket, "I've written all the information I know about those few things here. "Tomorrow, when we reach the town of Qiushui, I'll go all the way east. There are quite a few Miao Tribes over there as well, and I'll go see if I can find the Nuwa Stone."

"Nuwa Stone?" Qu Ling took the piece of paper from Xiao Jingyue's hands and opened it.

The Nuwa Stone, the supporting branches, the leaves of the tree, the sprouts of the giant toon, the sand dances …

Qu Ling's eyes were almost popping out of their sockets, and he blurted out: "How is this removing the poison, this is clearly ascending to the sky!"

Xiao Jingyue, "..."

Qu Ci, "..."

Nuwa Stone should be a stone left behind by the legendary Nuwa Heaven Mending Sect.

As for Fusang, Ruo Mu, Toon, and SandTang, they were the four legendary ancient divine trees.

Since this was a legend, where should he go to find it?

This was obviously giving people hope and giving them despair!

"So angry!"

Qu Ling angrily pushed the paper back into Xiao Jingyue's hands, then hugged his stomach and stood up, "I'm so angry my bladder hurts … I'm going to pee! "

With that, he turned around and ran into the depths of the forest.

Seeing that, Xiao Jingyue anxiously nodded his head and chased after her.

Qu Ci watched as the two of them left. After a long while, he retracted his gaze, took out a small porcelain bottle from his waist and placed it in Ah Xin's hands.

Under Ah Xin's puzzled gaze, he went close to her ear and whispered to her in Miao Yu, "Go to Zhai Jing, if your brother-in-law bullies your sister, take out the thing inside the bottle."

In the dead of night, it was very easy to encounter all sorts of unpredictable dangers while walking alone in the forest.

Although Qu Ling was afraid, his fear was not enough to fend off the wild protest of his bladder.

After running for quite a long distance and confirming that there was no one around, she was just about to take off her pants when she heard a faint sound coming from not too far away. She stopped herself subconsciously.

It sounded like someone calling for help, which was especially terrifying in this silent night.

All of the hairs on Qu Ling's body stood up, and he forcefully suppressed the urge to piss.

In the middle of the night, in the middle of nowhere, who knew if it was a human or a ghost who was calling for help in a place like this?

Qu Ling resisted the urge to run, and under the moonlight, he looked around his surroundings. In the end, he picked a tall bush and started running.

She couldn't take it anymore, so she hid behind the bushes and quickly pulled off her pants and squatted down.

Seeing that, Xiao Jingyue, who had followed her over, had his forehead bulging non-stop.

He knew there was someone here, yet he still dared to …

General Xiao took a deep breath, his eyes suddenly turned cold as he walked towards the direction of the cry for help.

After Qu Ling finished solving the physiological problems, he felt extremely comfortable, and his mood became much better.

Just as he was about to turn back, he suddenly thought of something. He hesitated for a moment, then carefully walked towards the direction of the sound.

Even with Xiao Jingyue as a former example, allowing her to experience a bloody lesson, she was still unable to control her Soul of Eight Trigrams.

She kept warning herself from the bottom of her heart and just watched from a distance to see if they were people or ghosts who would satisfy their curiosity. She would never come close, and she would absolutely not meddle in other people's business …

Before she could approach, a tall figure suddenly appeared in his eyes.

That figure, that clothes, they were extremely familiar to her.

She tried calling him: "Xiao Jingyue?"

The man did not answer.

"General Xiao?"

The man still didn't respond.

"Husband!"

The man looked over with a smile and waved at her: "Come here."

Qu Ling, "..."

You shameless pervert!

Perhaps because of Xiao Jingyue's presence, the fear in her heart instantly disappeared without a trace, and even her spine straightened a bit.

She ran to his side. "Why did you come here …"

She suddenly thought of something and asked with wide eyes, "Did you peek at me …"

Before she could finish, from the corner of her eye, she saw a woman in ragged clothing lying on the grass, her mind blank for a moment.

When she came back to her senses, she was so angry that her brain went blank. "Alright, you pervert …"

With a dark expression, Xiao Jingyue held the Twisted Man in his arms and covered her mouth, preventing her from shouting out the rest of her words.

She could do whatever she wanted in private. If she was allowed to mess around in front of outsiders, where would he put his face?

Qu Ling was so angry that her eyes turned white. She extended her hand to pull his arm, while kicking him non-stop.

She had thought for a moment that he was worried about her, which was why she had followed him here. She hadn't expected that he would actually sneak a peek at that girl!

At this moment, the woman's faint voice sounded.

"Save …" "Save me …"
