Lu Qing was anxious to death. They were standing on the edge of a cliff. If they weren't careful, they could jump into the river and die without a burial ground. Yu Mingchuan had actually lifted her up like a child.

Of course, Lu Qing didn't dive into the North River. After they finished exploring the mines, they immediately returned to the Jade Gate Pass.

Yu Mingchuan said that it was the snow that made it so easy for them to bypass Anxi and come here. Usually, Zhang Si's people were guarding them for a distance of three miles per sentry and five miles per sentry.

Lu Qing heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that she was a fool, and Yu Mingchuan was a fool as well. So this was the reason why the snow was falling outside the door.

By the time they returned to the Jade Gate Pass, it was already the fifth fragment of the night.

Seeing the hot air rising from the tub, Lu Qing was the first to take off his clothes and jump in. He grabbed the barrel and waited eagerly for Yu Mingchuan to come in.

Her fear of water wasn't that great now, but she still didn't dare to stand directly in the tub. The feeling of not being able to stand on solid ground even when the water had reached her neck was too terrible.

Yu Mingchuan slowly took off his clothes and stretched his long and sturdy limbs, causing Lu Qing to blush. Fortunately, the heat in the air was strong, so he could just take it as a steamer.

After Yu Mingchuan entered, Lu Qing shyly leaned against his chest, waiting for him to scrub her.

As usual, Yu Mingchuan helped Lu Qing wash his body, but the person in his arms was a little stiff. Occasionally, his body would tremble, and it would seem a little different than before.

When she slept that night, Lu Qing didn't dare to face Yu Mingchuan directly in her arms. There was something unspeakable that seemed to want to spew out from her heart, causing her to be at a loss for what to do.

In the end, even though he was very sleepy, Lu Qing still didn't fall asleep until dawn.

The next morning, Yu Mingchuan got up and left. Before he left, he even hugged Lu Qing and kissed her on the forehead.

She was very tired and did not want to get up at all. The snow on the ground was still fresh, so she should not need to do morning exercises.

It was just that outside the door, there was always an annoying guy coughing one moment and the other time. It was an endless stream of coughing sounds.

After a while, Luqing got up.

That clear cough was simply demonic. She was afraid that if she didn't get out of bed, that person's lungs would cough out.

After washing up, Lu Qing opened the door and saw a tall, thin and handsome young man. He was covering his mouth with his hands, about to cough again.

"Pulmonary tuberculosis?"

Lu Qing rolled his eyes at him in annoyance.

The youngster glared at her. "Young madam, you don't have to curse this lowly one …"

This Voice... Lu Qing recalled that Huo Jing had returned from the snowstorm that night. She didn't expect that he was such a handsome kid after shaving.

Of course, they were far from being able to compare with the monsters of their clan.

"What are you doing here?" All the snow had been cleared away. The gray slate road was clean, except for some white on the roof and walls.

"Didn't the young general instruct us to protect the young lady?"

Lu Qing remembered. That night, Yu Mingchuan did say that he wanted this kid to protect her, but this guy didn't seem as calm as Fang Jiming.

"Don't talk too much. After you leave this door, you don't need to call me 'Madam' anymore. You have already been informed about this by the lieutenant, right?"

Huo Jing hurriedly nodded. If he didn't listen to the young mistress, then that group of fellows would probably cause his butt to bloom.

He had never seen Lu Qing display those strange abilities before, but he had heard Fang Jiming speak to his other brothers. He was extremely curious. Now that he was by her side, there should at least be a chance.
