“I’m not tired anymore, you should put me down!”
Meng Xiaoyu said as she reached out to wipe the sweat from Ling Yuer’s temple, who was carrying her.
This was the third time Meng Xiaoyu had said this to Ling Yuer.
Since Ling Yuer started carrying her, it had been over an hour.
No matter how much Meng Xiaoyu insisted, Ling Yuer wouldn’t put her down.
At first, Meng Xiaoyu would struggle a bit, but whenever she did, Ling Yuer would give her a loud smack on the butt.
Now, Meng Xiaoyu didn’t dare to move around, but seeing Ling Yuer carrying her through this maze-like place for so long, and noticing the sweat on Ling Yuer’s temple, Meng Xiaoyu couldn’t help but speak up.
“It’s fine, I’m not tired.
Just stay on my back and let me carry you!”
Ling Yuer said, tightening her grip on Meng Xiaoyu.
“Besides, from the looks of it, we’re almost out of this damned place.
So just stay on my back and let me carry you out of here!”
“But we’ve been wandering in this maze-like place for so long.
Can we really get out?”
Meng Xiaoyu asked, using her sleeve to wipe the sweat from Ling Yuer’s temple again.
“Of course, I promised to take you out, and I will.
You have to trust me.
As long as we get through this path ahead, we’ll definitely leave this maze,” Ling Yuer said as she carried Meng Xiaoyu into the passage she mentioned.
“How do you know that if we take this path, we’ll definitely get out?
We’ve been here for so long!”
Meng Xiaoyu couldn’t help but ask, even though she didn’t want to doubt Ling Yuer.
“That’s because I’ve been marking every path we’ve taken.
We’ve been wandering for so long, and every path we’ve taken has been marked by me.
Now, the only path without a mark is the one we’re on.
If my guess is correct, this should be the right way!
Although this method is a bit silly, it’s reliable!”
Ling Yuer said with a smile as she continued forward with Meng Xiaoyu on her back.
“Yeah, this method is a bit silly!
It made us take so many unnecessary detours,” Meng Xiaoyu teased with a light laugh after hearing Ling Yuer’s words.
Then, in her heart, where Ling Yuer couldn’t hear, she continued, “But even though it’s silly, it’s reliable!”
Thinking of this, Meng Xiaoyu rested her chin on Ling Yuer’s shoulder, her soft lips curving into a gentle smile.
“Sigh, there’s no helping it!
I never thought that old fox Zhao Tianyu would go to such lengths to create such a huge maze!
It seems he really put in a lot of effort to keep the Xuanfeng Token for himself!”
Ling Yuer said with some helplessness after hearing Meng Xiaoyu’s teasing.
“Huh?
What did you say?
Isn’t this Longwu Country?
What’s it got to do with Zhao Tianyu?”
Meng Xiaoyu asked curiously after hearing Ling Yuer’s words.
“Hehe, this is indeed Longwu Country, but it’s also one of the estates of Zhao Tianyu’s younger brother, the master of Lingyu Manor.
And the missing Xuanfeng Token is most likely hidden in the secret chamber of this manor,” Ling Yuer explained after hearing Meng Xiaoyu’s question.
“What???
Are you saying that the Xuanfeng Token wasn’t stolen by you, but was hidden by Zhao Tianyu?”
Meng Xiaoyu was shocked after hearing Ling Yuer’s words.
“I have no interest in the Xuanfeng Token.
Why would I steal it?”
Ling Yuer retorted after hearing Meng Xiaoyu’s words.
“Weren’t you after the unparalleled martial arts within the Xuanfeng Token?
Isn’t that why you stole it?”
Meng Xiaoyu asked hesitantly.
“Hmph, unparalleled martial arts?
It’s just a legend!
Do I look like someone who would risk becoming an enemy of the entire martial world for such a boring legend and do something as stupid as stealing the Xuanfeng Token?”
Ling Yuer said disdainfully.
After hearing Ling Yuer’s words, Meng Xiaoyu wanted to reply, “You are that boring person, because from the fact that you kidnapped me, you are that boring person.”
But she didn’t say it out loud.
Instead, she asked, “Since you wouldn’t do something so boring, why did you bring me here?
Don’t tell me you came to steal money, I won’t believe it.”
“Hehe, my wife is so smart.
You’re right, I didn’t come for money.
I came here for the Xuanfeng Token,” Ling Yuer said, pausing for a moment before continuing, “Even though I’m not interested in the Xuanfeng Token, since that old fox Zhao Tianyu has pinned this crime on me, I can’t just take the blame for nothing, right?”
Ling Yuer chuckled twice as she said this.
“…”
“If you want to steal the Xuanfeng Token, just steal it!
Why drag me into this?”
Meng Xiaoyu was a bit angry.
These people could fight all they wanted, but why drag her into it?
“Hehehe, don’t be mad, wife.
Actually, I didn’t plan to involve you.
Kidnapping you wasn’t part of my plan.
I don’t know what came over me at the time, but I ended up kidnapping you.
By the time I came to my senses, I had already brought you to Longwu Country,” Ling Yuer said with some guilt.
“Oh!
So you’re saying that when you kidnapped me to Longwu Country, it was just a spur-of-the-moment thing?”
Meng Xiaoyu said through gritted teeth.
“Hahaha, you could say that!”
Ling Yuer laughed awkwardly, hearing the anger in Meng Xiaoyu’s voice.
“Then why didn’t you let me go after you realized it?”
“I don’t know why I didn’t let you go.
I just couldn’t bear to let you leave,” Ling Yuer said with a bitter smile, truly not understanding why she couldn’t let Meng Xiaoyu go at the time.
“…”
Hearing Ling Yuer’s words, Meng Xiaoyu didn’t know what to say.
But if she didn’t say something, she wouldn’t be able to let go of her anger.
So after a moment of silence, Meng Xiaoyu opened her soft little mouth and bit down hard on Ling Yuer’s white neck.
“Ahhh~~~~~~~~~~~” The entire maze echoed with a clear, high-pitched female voice.
Not expecting Meng Xiaoyu to suddenly bite her neck, Ling Yuer winced in pain and begged for mercy, “Wife, be gentle!
It hurts!
Wife, please let go!
It really hurts!”
Seeing Ling Yuer grimacing in pain and hearing her pitiful pleas, Meng Xiaoyu finally released her small mouth.
After letting go of Ling Yuer’s neck, Meng Xiaoyu looked down at the spot she had just bitten.
But after seeing it, Meng Xiaoyu regretted it deeply.
There were two rows of bloody teeth marks on Ling Yuer’s originally white neck, with fresh blood slowly trickling down.
“I’m sorry, I think I bit too hard,” Meng Xiaoyu said, tears streaming down her face.
Although she didn’t quite understand why she was crying, she couldn’t control herself when she saw the bloody bite marks on Ling Yuer’s neck.
“Wife, what’s wrong?
Why are you crying?
It’s okay, it doesn’t hurt that much.
Don’t cry!”
Ling Yuer quickly comforted her after hearing Meng Xiaoyu’s sobbing and remorseful tone.
At the same time, she thought to herself, “Did I overdo it just now?
Although it did hurt when Meng Xiaoyu bit me, it wasn’t enough to make me scream so miserably.
I only screamed like that to tease her.
But now, feeling the tears of the person on my back, I suddenly regret using my inner strength to force out so much blood from the insignificant little wound on my neck just to scare her.”
“How can it be okay?
There’s so much blood,” Meng Xiaoyu said, crying as she gently pressed a handkerchief to Ling Yuer’s bleeding wound.
“I’m really fine.
I screamed so miserably just to play a joke on you.
The blood on my neck was also forced out by me using my inner strength.
Actually, you didn’t bite that hard.
Although it broke the skin, think about how hard you’d have to bite to make it bleed that much!”
Ling Yuer, anxious to stop Meng Xiaoyu from crying, blurted everything out.
“…”
“You said you forced out the blood with your inner strength just to play a joke on me?”
Meng Xiaoyu asked, still sniffing.
“Yes, yes, that’s right.
I just wanted to play a joke on you—ow~~~~~~~” Before she could finish saying “joke,” Meng Xiaoyu’s white teeth attacked the spot she had bitten before.
“Hmph, that’s what you get for joking about something like this,” Meng Xiaoyu said angrily after biting the same spot again.
Then she lowered her head and gently licked the spot with her soft little tongue, asking, “Does it hurt?”
Our victim, Miss Ling Yuer, originally wanted to turn around and complain to Meng Xiaoyu.
But the tingling sensation from the injured spot stopped her, and a faint blush appeared on her cheeks.
“N-no, it doesn’t hurt.”
“Really?
But it’s bleeding, how can it not hurt?”
After saying this, Meng Xiaoyu extended her soft little tongue again to gently lick the spot she had just bitten.
She seemed to remember seeing somewhere that if you get a bleeding wound, licking it can temporarily stop the bleeding.
