Half a month later, they arrived at Jiuquan County.

This place was not far from the Jade Gate Pass. In the vast desert, there was no end in sight.

Looking at the gravel and the humpback, Luqing grasped the reins. From now on, she was going to live in this place.

When they were still a day away from Yumen Pass, there was a sandstorm. They had no choice but to find a village beside Anxi to recuperate.

That night, Xue Yan didn't go anywhere else and just sat beside Lu Qing.

Now that Lu Qing was a man, she naturally couldn't stay among the widows. However, she still had some doubts regarding Xue Yan's arrival.

"Luqing, you don't seem to be looking forward to marrying my brother at all."

After Han Shuo was fast asleep, Xue Yan moved closer to Lu Qing.

"Are you looking forward to marrying a girl you've never seen before?" Lu Qing curled his lips and retorted, only to find that Xue Yan had suddenly turned silent.

After a long time, he saw Xue Yan looking at her with his sparkling phoenix eyes.

"If... Did you see it? "

"Who do you want me to marry now? "Could it be Yang Qing again?" Lu Qing rolled his eyes.

"Me."

"Who?"

"Me."

This time, Lu Qing heard it clearly. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Xue Yan. What did this guy mean? Marry him?

"Although I am a branch of the Xue Clan, I still have the ability to protect you." Xue Yan drew closer, and Luqing drew back a little.

"Don't you have an engagement? Don't tell me you want me to be your concubine? "

"I will treat you well. In the future, I will love your children the same way." Xue Yan's speed was very fast as he grabbed onto Lu Qing's hand.

Lu Qing didn't twitch even after slapping himself twice. His eyes were burning with anger.

"Xue Yan, listen carefully. I will never be someone else's concubine in my life. I don't have the habit of using the same man as other women."

As she spoke, Lu Qing cast a disdainful glance at Xue Yan's waist. With a snort, he turned his head away.

"You …" Xue Yan suddenly laughed. This explanation was quite similar to a certain someone.

However, she really …

Leaning forward, Xue Yan bit onto Lu Qing's finger.

Lu Qing trembled, wanting to hit him, but he caught both his hands. Lu Qing turned his head and rammed it into Xue Yan. Xue Yan retreated, pulling Lu Qing with him onto the withered grass.

They looked at each other.

Seeing his handsome face so close to hers, Lu Qing instinctively wanted to lean backwards. However, he discovered that the person below him had his lips and Adam's apple rolling in his throat. Lu Qing suddenly felt a strong sense of danger and hastily turned his face away.

Sure enough, a soft and moist sensation appeared behind his ears.

This fellow had kissed her!

Luqing could no longer understand this man's thoughts. He clearly wanted to give her to his brother as a wife. What was he doing now? Was he keeping watch and stealing from himself?

"Xue Yan, you are shameless!"

Lu Qing let out a low growl as he struggled to break free from Xue Yan's grasp. Then, he heard the sound of footsteps coming from nearby. It was the sound of patrolling soldiers.

The footsteps seemed to pause near them, then move on again.

Seeing Lu Qing's fierce resistance, Xue Yan released her.

"What's the difference between you and Yang Qiang?" Lu Qing quickly stood up and retreated to Han Shuo's side. He picked up the dagger he fished out from the stone tiger's body and faced Xue Yan.

Xue Yan did not reply, but merely stared at Lu Qing for a while.

"I thought, you …"

"You think you're wrong!" Lu Qing didn't give in at all. Initially, he thought that he could still befriend this person. Unexpectedly, hehe.

Xue Yan stood up. "Before I leave the Jade Gate Pass, as long as you figure it out, you can come and find me."
