“You can even fall on flat ground?”

Xie Xingyun frowned and pressed her wound lightly.

Bai Xianyu gasped, “Can you be gentler?”

Her voice sounded angry, but when she saw the person’s face clearly, her heart strangely calmed down.

Xie Xingyun’s gaze shifted from her leg to her fair and straight neck. His expression was a little dark. “You ran out in a disheveled state. Were you afraid that I’ll do something to your guard?”

Bai Xianyu wanted to pull her leg back from his hand, but the moment she moved, she felt a sharp pain.

The man held her calf tightly and said softly, “Don’t be anxious. He won’t die.”

Bai Xianyu felt that if she had the strength, she would definitely kick him in the face.

“If it weren’t for you, would I have fallen? Why are you here in the middle of the night?”

Xie Xingyun’s expression darkened even more. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly. “You too know that it’s the middle of the night. Whenever 1 see you, you’re always surrounded by a group of men. Lin Xingjian, Qi Ci, and now your guard.”

As he spoke, he picked the girl up and tightened his grip on her waist. “Bai Xianyu, you’re really good at seducing men.”

Bai Xianyu’s voice trembled. “How have 1 seduced them? Don’t judge a gentleman by your own standards.”

Xie Xingyun glanced at her neck and her slender legs that were vaguely visible under the fairy dress. “Are you not seducing me by appearing like this?”

Bai Xianyu looked down at the clothes on her body. She had only removed her outer robe and her dress reached her ankles. “I’m clearly very proper, except for my hair being a little messy.”

She looked at herself from a girl’s point of view, so of course, she did not realize how beautiful she was. Her skin was porcelain-white like jade, and her watery eyes were brimming, as if they were immersed in the moonlight. Her arms were fair and smooth, swaying gently with the man’s footsteps, forming a beautiful arc under the dim moonlight.

Xie Xingyun’s eyes darkened. He even had the urge to gouge out the eyeballs of those who had seen her in this state.

She was his woman.

Before Xie Xingyun could speak, Bai Xianyu was covered in his outer robe. She happened to be a little cold, so she grabbed it. “Where are Green Pearl and Bai Li?”

Xie Xingyun stopped in his tracks. There was some dust on his black boots. “They’re fine.”

Even though she knew that she could not twist his muscles, Bai Xianyu could not help but pinch his arm. “If they are fine, why is there no sound?”

Xie Xingyun said slowly, “You make a guess.”

Bai Xianyu,”…”

“How long more before you guys get to the temple?” he asked suddenly.

Bai Xianyu pursed her lips. “Three days at the earliest, maybe four.”

Xie Xingyun frowned. “That long?”

Then she still had to flirt with that guard for four days?

Bai Xianyu did not know that the man had already accused her of something. She said naturally, “Four days is normal. I have a lot of stuff, and it’s not easy to go fast on the road. Anyway, there’s no hurry.”

Xie Xingyun was silent for a moment. “You get some sleep first.”

Bai Xianyu looked at his well-defined side profile suspiciously. “What exactly are you here for?”

The man kicked open her door and placed her on the bed.

She rested her calves on the edge of the bed.

Xie Xingyun said, “Do you have any medicine?”

Bai Xianyu had a bottle in her hand. She waved it at him. “1 happen to have a bottle.”

Xie Xingyun was expressionless. “It’s too inferior.”

Bai Xianyu,”…”
