-------------
Xie Jingchen had more to say to console his wife when, from two nearby mountain peaks, a sharp "bang" was heard, signaling the launch of a military flare!
"That’s..." Yan Jinsu was startled by the flare, and the buzzing in her ears caused a ringing headache!
Why was her body becoming weaker and weaker? Yan Jinsu pursed her lips, feeling increasingly uneasy...
"Sweetheart, don’t talk, take a sip of water first!" Yan Jinsu’s unusual behavior did not escape Xie Jingchen, who held her tightly and imdiately took a small cup from the Space Button, nervously feeding her a few sips of Spirit Core Water:
The explosion was commonplace to him, but for Yan Jinsu, who had just endured a great ordeal, it was like thunder blasting next to her ear!
After making sure she was okay, he looked anxiously toward the sky where the signal was fired.
"Could it be so special situation?" After gulping down water, Yan Jinsu’s ears stopped buzzing, and she t the half-narrowed, somber eyes of Xie Jingchen.
"Honey, it’s a distress signal from my subordinates. I must go. You,"
Xie Jingchen paused, as the thought of leaving his wife behind or sending her back was not at all reassuring. He hesitated and asked her, "Do you trust ?"
"I’ll go with you!" Before Xie Jingchen could finish, Yan Jinsu spoke up.
Yan Jinsu’s gaze showed no fear. She nodded firmly and said:
"Please trust , I’m not a delicate vining flower. After suffering such a loss, I must seek justice myself. That’s just not , Yan Jinsu!"
"No, darling, in my heart, you’ve always been my most treasured Queen of Night, certainly not a fragile vining flower! If you hadn’t suggested it, I’d still want you by my side. Trust , I will protect you completely."
As he spoke, Xie Jingchen picked his wife up to the side, collected the last carpet on the tree trunk into the Space Button, and said to Yan Jinsu:
"My love, to get there quickly, today, allow to be your noble carriage!"
"Eh?" Yan Jinsu was montarily baffled by what he said: Noble carriage...?!
Xie Jingchen saw his little wife’s confused face and didn’t say more. He just squatted in front of her, tossed her elegantly onto his back, then casually slid a 54-style handgun into the hand she held out limply:
"Sweetheart, keep this for self-defense."
Yan Jinsu was completely led by the nose by Xie Jingchen, giving her no other choice.
Only after Xie Jingchen used his leopard-like speed to cross a large mountain ridge in about twenty minutes did she understand why he had emphasized ’getting there quickly’!
It’s said ’distant hills look close’, and if an ordinary person tried to traverse this mountain peak, it would take at least half a day, four to five hours to cross!
From their previous position, it seed like only two mountains away, but when Xie Jingchen actually undertook the crossing, Yan Jinsu slowly counted that he had already scaled four and a half slopes!
The only relief was that there were no more cliffs or precipices to be seen!
Yan Jinsu was self-aware, knowing that with her current physical condition, it was impossible to keep up with Xie Jingchen’s pace!
She felt a bit guilty in her heart for insisting on being strong and imdiately thought of ’Dr. Xiong’ upon hearing it was a ’rescue’ signal!
Every ti she thought of that na, her heart would churn with towering malice!
Clearly, this na was extrely detestable to her!
Hearing Xie Jingchen ntion that na, she didn’t need to think to know that what Xie Jingchen said was at least eighty percent true.
For a woman like Yan Jinsu who always deeply ’doubted’ human nature, this level of trust was already rated very high.
Lying on his broad back, Yan Jinsu had been well protected by him from beginning to end, without even a scratch!
As for the possibility of any wild beasts daring to charge at them—with Xie Jingchen’s lightning-fast movents, any such beasts would not be sothing Yan Jinsu’s rudintary Type 54 pistol could handle!
To reduce the burden on her husband, she didn’t say a word more than necessary, allowing him to focus on hurrying along.
But when they finally made it to that signal point, Yan Jinsu felt sothing was amiss—there was no one in sight!
"Um..." Lying on the man’s broad back, Yan Jinsu couldn’t find a na to call him for a mont, and after thinking, she simply called out his full na: "Xie Jingchen, why don’t you put down first?"
"No, wife, your body is too weak right now. If you get down, it’ll make even more worried about preparing for battle!" Xie Jingchen shook his head and refused, turning his head to seriously reply to her: "You stay on my back and load the gun. Your weight is no bother to , there’s no difference! Don’t feel pressured."
"Okay." Yan Jinsu thought about it and considering her body was in a state of decline due to the fragntation of the Soul Crystal, insisting on getting down might result in her being eliminated by the enemy before she could even take her revenge.
Moreover, although she currently lacked mories of this man and her children, she instinctively felt that they were her most important family mbers, and she couldn’t afford to take risks lightly.
Hearing his little wife so easily compromise, he felt happy inside, but at the sa ti, it pained him.
It was precisely because Yan Jinsu was rational that she was able to give such a straightforward answer!
With too many thoughts in his mind, yet without stopping his movents, Xie Jingchen took a special harness from the Space Button and strapped Yan Jinsu tightly to his back. For safety, he didn’t just secure her back, but also around her hips and thighs, so he didn’t have to worry about his little wife slipping down his back!
These specially made harnesses couldn’t be easily breached by normal animal claws or blunt weapons; they were very resilient.
"Wife, if you see any danger later, don’t hesitate." Xie Jingchen didn’t fear others dying, but he was afraid of his little woman getting hurt.
Her physical condition was not sothing to be gambled with.
Xie Jingchen, thinking about the pain his little wife had suffered over the past few days, could not wait to lock her in the dearest place of his heart, protecting her for a lifeti of peace and joy.
"Mm." Yan Jinsu did not dare to use her spiritual power, but her own Six Senses were naturally sharp and no lie; she noticed that despite it being noon, since entering this place, it felt as though they had entered deep night—although it wasn’t to the point where one could not see their own hands, the surrounding light was indeed very dim.
Raising her head to look up, she did not see anything beyond the canopy of the trees.
"Xie Jingchen, don’t you feel it’s too peaceful here? As if they’ve been waiting for us a long ti like inviting us into the pot..." Yan Jinsu observed the equally dim woodland around them.
"Wife, I think you can call ’husband’ or ’Brother Chen’ too."
Hearing this, Yan Jinsu’s face blushed slightly as she gave a soft grunt and seriously said: "Brother Chen, does it seem like this place has been artificially damaged?"
After saying that, her finger pointed towards the base of a large tree underneath a rock.
Her line of sight was only slightly lower than Xie Jingchen’s, and while Xie Jingchen was using his spiritual power to scan the surroundings, she was looking around with her naked eyes, and then she noticed—
