……

"Ok!"

Ji Ruxue blushed and nodded slightly, shrinking back a little nervously. Being held like this by Shen Ye in public made her a little shy.

However, she felt very safe in this position, and since she had put her face veil back on, no one could see her face, so she quickly relaxed. Then she gently kicked the horse's flank with her heel, making the horse move, and muttered to herself:

"Hold me...hold me tight."

Shen Ye nodded casually, one arm around Ji Ruxue's slender waist, the other holding the reins of another horse, his chin resting on her uninjured shoulder. It was unclear whether he was actually learning or not.

They had only traveled one street with their horses when Shen Ye had almost mastered the basics of horsemanship. He inhaled the girl's natural fragrance and whispered in her ear, "It's not that difficult. I think I've learned it. Why don't you go back to your mount and let me try it by myself?"

The hot breath spraying against her ear made Ji Ruxue's body feel slightly weak, and she felt a tingling sensation in her heart. Her mind seemed to go blank. After listening to Shen Ye's words, she forced herself to stay awake and said, "No... how could it be that fast? We've only ridden a short distance, we haven't even left the city yet. It's impossible to learn so quickly."

Ji Ruxue's words made Shen Ye feel somewhat helpless. She was forcing him to admit that he hadn't learned it. However, he didn't want to argue, so he nodded and said, "Then let's leave the city first."

"Okay, Brother Shen!"

Ji Ruxue nodded again, but then she subtly pulled on the reins, turning the horse's slow trot into a slow walk.

Sensing the obvious decrease in speed, Shen Ye knew without guessing what the girl was thinking. He chuckled inwardly, feeling a little touched, but still said nothing. He simply loosened the reins of the other horse, put his arms around Ji Ruxue's waist, and pulled her firmly into his embrace.

After riding through several streets, the two saw the city gate of Yuzhou.

However, at that moment, on another street near the city gate, a group of Xuanming Sect assassins on horseback suddenly appeared. Upon seeing Shen Ye and Ji Ruxue, one of the assassins who had participated in the raid on the Huanyinfang Yuzhou stronghold that night suddenly pointed at Ji Ruxue and shouted, "Boss, look! That woman is the one we're looking for!"

"Chase them, stop them."

Upon hearing this, the leader of the assassins immediately whipped his horse's rump and charged forward first.

"Brother Shen, what should we do?"

Hearing the voice behind her, Ji Ruxue placed her hand on the hilt of the longsword hanging at her waist and turned to ask Shen Ye.

"There are too many people here, let's get out of the city first."

Shen Ye glanced around. Since it was daytime and morning, there were many people entering the city, most of whom were residents from the vicinity of Yuzhou City. If a fight were to break out here, he didn't know how many people would be accidentally injured.

Although some of his principles have changed considerably compared to the beginning, his principle of not harming ordinary people who have no hostility has remained unchanged.

"it is good."

Ji Ruxue knew that it was not a wise choice to fight here. She kicked her horse hard and charged out of the city, shouting for passersby to make way.

As Shen Ye passed through the city gate, he glanced around, but did not see the main character Li Xingyun or the second female lead Lu Linxuan.

"Have they not come down the mountain yet? Or have they already entered the city?" Shen Ye frowned. Ji Ruxue's little schemes had made the two of them dawdle for too long, and he was not sure whether Li Xingyun and Lu Linxuan had entered the city.

But he wasn't disappointed. Instead, he thought to himself, "Forget it, if I really can't run into them, I might as well go to Fengxiang with Ji Ruxue and see the Empress with her. Anyway, when the Empress finds out about Li Xingyun's appearance, she will definitely send someone to look for him."

There are many beautiful women in the world of Bad Guys, but the one that left the deepest impression on Shen Ye was the Empress. Both her appearance and personality completely appealed to his tastes, so he was eager to see if the real Empress was as beautiful and charming as she was in the anime.

Just as they were thinking this, the two had already rushed hundreds of meters away from the city gate. There were far fewer pedestrians on the road than at the city gate. Ji Ruxue no longer cared and whipped the horse's rump.

The horse, in pain, spurred itself on and galloped wildly. However, this horse was a fine steed from beyond the Great Wall that Shen Ye had bought from a brokerage firm. Compared to the warhorses ridden by the Xuanming Sect assassins behind him, it was almost the same in both speed and endurance. For a time, the Xuanming Sect assassins failed to catch up.

However, since the two were riding the same horse, after galloping for a distance, the horse's stamina gave out, and its running speed visibly decreased.

After running for several miles, the two were still caught up by the assassins of the Xuanming Sect and surrounded.

Immediately afterward, a man who seemed to be the leader of the group rode forward a few steps, looked at the two intimately close, and said with a smile, "Oh, it's said that the women of the Illusionary Sound Pavilion are gentle and affectionate. I always thought it was just a rumor, but now it seems that the rumors are indeed true. How about this, young lady, hand over the Fire Spirit Mushroom, and I will take pity on you and your lover and let you live, how about it?"

"Dream on." Ji Ruxue drew her sword and said coldly. In front of outsiders, she reverted to her usual aloof demeanor.

"Hmph, you're ungrateful! We kindly spared your lives, but you don't appreciate it at all. Fine, very well, brothers, get them! Grab them, and then I'm going to torture this young lady's lover in front of her!" The leader was immediately enraged and raised his hand, ordering his men to take the two men down.

Watching the Xuanming Sect assassins slowly approaching them, Shen Ye sneered, took the Suxin Sword directly from Ji Ruxue's hand, and whispered, "Xue'er, watch me kill them all with one sword."

Although Ji Ruxue missed the scene of Shen Ye killing a hundred people with one sword that night, she knew how strong he was, so she nodded slightly.

However, just as Shen Ye was about to unleash the Sword Master skill Cherry Blossom Calamity, a clear female voice suddenly rang in his ears.

"Senior brother, look! Those look like people from the Xuanming Sect. They seem to be chasing someone."

Then a somewhat nonchalant male voice rang out: "What do you mean 'seems like'? They are clearly people from the Xuanming Sect."

"Senior brother, should we go and help them?"

"What do you think, Junior Sister? As the saying goes, when you see injustice on the road, you should draw your sword to help, especially when it's those scum from the Xuanming Sect."

Hearing the conversation between the man and woman, Shen Ye slowly lowered his sword, and the Xuanming Sect assassins who were approaching them also stopped. Then, they all looked in the direction from which the conversation came.

Not far from them stood a young boy and girl. The boy was wearing a red short shirt and looked very capable, while the girl was wearing a purple and white dress. She was about sixteen or seventeen years old and looked bright and beautiful. They were Li Xingyun and Lu Linxuan, who had come down the mountain on the orders of their master, Yang Shuzi.

……

Chapter 387! This is my woman.

……

As the two of them appeared, Shen Ye suddenly sensed a gaze watching him from the depths of the woods to his left.

But as he looked in that direction, the feeling of being watched immediately disappeared.

"Is that you, Bad Commander?"

Shen Ye gripped his longsword tightly, and the first person he thought of was the Bad Commander, Yuan Tiangang.

After all, only a top master with three hundred years of cultivation could appear and disappear so silently.

"It seems he's already noticed me," Shen Ye thought to himself.

But he wasn't surprised, because anyone who had watched the anime knew that Yuan Tiangang had been scheming all along. After all, everything around Li Xingyun was arranged by him: martial arts, divine weapons, friends, women—everything was arranged in advance by Yuan Tiangang…including Ji Ruxue, who was leaning against Shen Ye at this moment.

Thinking of this, Shen Ye chuckled softly, then lowered his head and kissed Ji Ruxue's delicate earlobe, thinking to himself, "Yuan Tiangang, I won't hurt Li Xingyun. After all, I do sympathize with your poor pawn. However, I won't be so polite about his other possessions..."

"ah!"

Ji Ruxue gasped when her sensitive area was touched and quickly turned to look at Shen Ye: "Brother Shen, there are outsiders here."

"Does this mean we can do this when there are no outsiders around?" Shen Ye asked with a smile, then glanced at Li Xingyun and Lu Linxuan, who were already fighting with the Xuanming Cult assassins, and continued, "Besides, they've already started fighting, so they won't notice us."

"Then...then it can't be here," Ji Ruxue said softly.

"Then let's go somewhere else." Shen Ye waved his hand to push away several Xuanming Sect assassins who were attacking them, then rode away from the battlefield and stopped under a tree.

After dismounting, Shen Ye pressed down on Ji Ruxue, who was also about to dismount, but he shook his head at her, indicating that she should not get off yet.

Ji Ruxue was a little confused, then she saw Shen Ye tie the reins to the tree branch and turn around to extend his hand to her.

"Come on, let me lift you down."

“No…” Ji Ruxue shook her head.

But Shen Ye did not comply with her wishes. He forcibly lifted her off the horse, then sat down with his back against a big tree. He also adjusted Ji Ruxue's posture so that she sat sideways on his lap.

In fact, Ji Ruxue could have refused. During the past few days with Shen Ye, she knew that Shen Ye was not a domineering person and would never force her to do anything. But now she still reluctantly accepted Shen Ye's manipulation of her body.

Gently wrapping his arms around Ji Ruxue's waist, Shen Ye couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her forehead again. But seeing her face turn bright red instantly, he didn't continue with any other actions and instead looked towards the battlefield.

At this time, the battle was nearing its end. After all, Li Xingyun had Yuan Tiangang as his private tutor, and his strength had already reached the Lesser Celestial Realm. With Lu Linxuan, who was at the Middle Star Realm, dealing with these miscellaneous soldiers was as easy as cutting melons and vegetables.

After easily dispatching these Xuanming Cult assassins, Li Xingyun clapped his hands and said with some lingering satisfaction, "They were just a bunch of small fry, not interesting at all."

Then he looked at Shen Ye and Ji Ruxue and found that the two of them were leaning against a big tree and embracing each other. He immediately complained, "Wow, they're so unfair! We fought for them and they're just being all lovey-dovey. It's really...it's really enviable."

Li Xingyun, who was a free spirit and had a carefree attitude, was extremely envious upon seeing this scene.

"Brother..."

After hearing Li Xingyun's words, Lu Linxuan slapped his forehead, speechless at his erratic thought process.

But then she saw Li Xingyun's gaze fall on her again, and immediately clutched her chest, saying, "Don't even think about it."

"Junior sister, I have no interest in you at all. Look at you, you have no chest or butt, you're nowhere near as good as the girl in that man's arms," ​​Li Xingyun said disdainfully.

"Senior brother, you..." Lu Linxuan was furious and raised his sword sheath to smash it against Li Xingyun's head.

Li Xingyun covered his head and quickly dodged, seemingly trying to avoid being beaten, and ran towards Shen Ye and Ji Ruxue.

As expected, Lu Linxuan, who was chasing Li Xingyun, had no choice but to stop when she saw this. Then she heard Li Xingyun say to the two men, "Hey, you two are doing well, comfortably watching the show here. We just helped you get rid of the people chasing you, shouldn't we show our appreciation?"

Shen Ye looked up at the boy in front of him and said slyly, "But I didn't ask you for help. You took the initiative to help, so why should I show my gratitude?"

"Uh..." Li Xingyun rubbed his head, which was sore from being hit, and thought about it. He felt that it made sense, so he said somewhat dejectedly, "I thought I could get some money from you to spend."

Upon hearing this, Lu Linxuan complained, "Senior brother, didn't Master give us silver when he went down the mountain?"

"That's nothing, it'll be gone in no time." Li Xingyun pouted. "Besides, Master gave you all the money, I just wanted to get some for myself."

Lu Linxuan covered her eyes, unable to bear looking at him, and said, "Then you can't just ask someone else for it, that's so embarrassing..."

Before she could finish speaking, she heard Shen Ye say, "I have plenty of money. How much do you want?"

Lu Linxuan and Li Xingyun were both taken aback. Then Li Xingyun rubbed his hands together and said, "I don't mind if it's ten or eight taels, or thirty or fifty taels. You can give me whatever you think is appropriate."

"In that case, is this much okay?" Shen Ye felt sorry for Li Xingyun's experience. He took out a bag from behind him and casually tossed it over.

Li Xingyun caught the bag and felt that the weight was a bit off. He then opened it and was almost blinded by a golden light.

"So much gold, at least seventy or eighty taels," Li Xingyun murmured. Although he was a descendant of the Li Tang royal family and had seen a lot in his childhood, he had lived a hard life with Uncle Yang in the sword furnace for many years, so this was the first time he had ever seen so much gold.

Lu Linxuan also glanced at it, and the still-young girl was startled, quickly saying, "Too much, too much."
