Mu Yao was weighing the pros and cons in her mind. It seemed that if she couldn't get the antidote, this man would never let her go. Thinking of this, she suddenly felt powerless.

"As long as I make the antidote for you, you will let me go home, right?" Mu Yao asked him for confirmation.

Fine golden light shone through the lush branches and leaves, adding a touch of softness to Wei Wushang's elegant face. The corners of his mouth curled up into a very light smile, and he raised his tender and long voice and said, "Okay."

The tone was simple and crisp, but to Mu Yao's ears, it somehow sounded far-fetched.

"Can't you come back to me after you get the crystal orchid? How about I arrange a time with you and wait for you in Wutai County?" Mu Yao asked tentatively. She didn't understand why this man took her with him when he went to look for medicine. It was simply unreasonable.

If it were a few hours ago, Wei Wushang would have agreed to her without hesitation.

Now that the two of them have been through so much together, how can he let go?

This woman did not abandon him when he was dying, but gave him the only life-saving pill she had, and even chanted sutras for him. She shone with the tenacity, courage, and intelligence that were rare among noble ladies, which made him fall in love with her step by step and could not extricate himself.

His eyes fell on her tempting red lips. Wei Wushang's throat felt hot and he forced himself to look away and said in a deep voice, "I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible."

That means there’s nothing to talk about!

Mu Yao was not surprised by the man's reaction.

Looking at the endless mountains and forests in front of her, she calmed down and said, "I want to wash up and eat something."

If I hadn't given him all the "Bamboo Dew Pills", I wouldn't be hungry now.

She was a woman, how could she live in the wilderness like him? Thinking of the vast forest behind Huaxi Village, she tried her best not to recall it.

Wei Wushang's bright eyes were startled. Seeing that Mu Yao looked unhappy, he put his arms around her waist and leaped to a clear stream. Fish in the stream were swimming happily in groups, and from time to time they flicked their tails and splashed beautiful water.

"Do you like eating fish?" Wei Wushang glanced at Mu Yao who was squatting by the stream washing herself.

She stretched out her jade-like fingers, teased the water twice, and then neatly pulled Sanqianqing to one side, revealing her fair jade neck. The perfect curve extended all the way to the slightly exposed valley on her chest, which was extremely tempting.

But she was completely unaware of it, and she gently scooped up some stream water and lightly touched her face. In an instant, her delicate face was covered with pearls and her cheeks were shining with the rosy glow, just like a lotus emerging from clear water, stunning all the colorful fishes in the pool.

"I like it." Mu Yao replied calmly without even raising her eyelids.

With a "bang", the stream water splashed up half a foot high, and several big fish jumped out of the water and landed on the shore.

Mu Yao held the big golden carp that was twisting its body in her arms. She tremblingly stretched out a jade finger to lift the wet hair on her forehead, stroked the jade beads on her face, raised her eyes to look at Wei Wushang, her beautiful eyes filled with resentment.

Wei Wushang felt her death gaze, and seeing her disheveled appearance with a slightly stiff face, he awkwardly looked away, picked up the two big fish on the ground and said slowly: "I didn't control my strength well for a moment." Then he squatted down, took out a short blade and skillfully cleaned the carp.

"Wait!" Mu Yao urged to stop him.

Wei Wushang paused and looked at her in confusion.

"Make a fire here and go over there to wash the fish." Mu Yao said, pointing to another gurgling stream not far to the right.

Before he could answer, she continued, "I want to dry the clothes."

Wei Wushang's expression flickered a few times, and he carried out Mu Yao's instructions one by one.

"How long will we stay here? Do you know where the Crystal Orchid is?" Mu Yao asked unceremoniously as she took the grilled fish from Wei Wushang's hand after drying her clothes.

"Just follow me. If you cooperate with me, you can have a good meal tonight, take a hot bath and have a good sleep." Wei Wushang picked up another big fish and put it on the fire to roast it skillfully, saying temptingly.

Mu Yao nibbled on the grilled fish in her hand. It was crispy and golden, burnt on the outside and tender on the inside. The fish was handled extremely cleanly, and without any seasoning, it was grilled without any fishy smell. It was extremely delicious. One could only say that this man grilled fish frequently and his skills were perfect.

"You bake it quite deliciously." Mu Yao said vaguely.

"It's easy to handle. You'll become proficient at it after a while." Wei Wushang recalled the past. The days spent in the wild accounted for almost one-third of his life, and he couldn't remember how many fish he had grilled.

"Why are they chasing you?" Mu Yao tried to start a conversation, her tone very natural.

Wei Wushang raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in a rogue tone, "Are you interested in me?"

Mu Yao tightened the grilled fish in her hand and replied as a matter of course: "We are tied up like this, I have to know who kidnapped me, right?"

The expectation in her eyes made Wei Wushang struggle for a moment.

Seeing that he was silent, Mu Yao's voice became colder: "Can't you tell me?"

"Not really. I just think you girls should know less." Wei Wushang felt uncomfortable. People like them who survive on the edge of a knife are feared by everyone. It's rare to meet a woman who is not afraid of him, and she is so beautiful that everyone is inverted. How can he open his mouth?

"Those people are very strong, and look... a bit like killers." After saying this, even Mu Yao herself was frightened.

"Woman, has anyone ever told you that being too smart is not a good thing?" Wei Wushang felt depressed. The more he wanted to hide something, the faster it would be exposed.

"Tell me, who are you? And who are they?" Does this even require brainpower? With this skill, anyone would think of that profession, right? Mu Yao was ready to go. Anyway, it had come to this point, so what could she not ask? No matter how horrible it was, it was nothing compared to the psychological trauma that Han Qi had brought to her.

"I saved you twice, and you still owe me hundreds of millions of silver. Even if I ask you to explain to my ancestors for eighteen generations, it would not be too much. Wei Wushang, you have the guts to kidnap me, but don't you have the guts to explain? Don't make me look down on you." Mu Yao said unwillingly.

"How many billions do I owe you?" Wei Wushang chuckled.

"A few years ago, a Bamboo Dew Pill was auctioned for 8.6 million taels and was acquired by the old master of Fuguang Pavilion. Think about how many of my pills you have eaten! Which one is worse than the Bamboo Dew Pill, Guyuan Pill or Juqi Pill? You ate two bottles of mine. And the Nine-Turn Longevity Pill that you swallowed when you were dying cost no less than 25 million to make, not to mention the price it was auctioned for. Calculate how much you owe me? And think about whether you are shameless in kidnapping me like this."

The air seemed to be frozen and extremely dull.

Ten breaths later, Wei Wushang laughed loudly, teleported to Mu Yao and held her in his arms. His big hand repeatedly rubbed her waist, slowly moved up to her back and pressed hard against his chest.

Mu Yao pressed her whole body against his chest, the man's unique hormone scent wrapped her tightly, and the itchy heat in her hair made her lose consciousness for a moment. Wei Wushang said in her ear with a very low and mellow voice: "I am afraid that this huge debt cannot be repaid, how about giving you this life?" After that, he leaped and took her to the North Sea quickly.

Xiaohe Garden in Wutai County.

Tang Zhongjun was anxiously waiting for the arrival of the Prime Minister and others.

Helian Yun has woken up. Under the effect of Guyuan Dan, his new wounds have completely healed and his old wounds have also been well stabilized.

Tang Zhongjun saw Helian Yun was about to take up his sword and go out, so he tried to dissuade him, "Master Helian, the Third Young Master's wife has run out of medicine, so you should calm down and heal your wounds first. My Master and Master Yun followed Master Yao into the mountains to chase him, so wait for them to come back and see if there is any progress first."

Helian Yun's eyes were dark and he looked unhappy, and he looked haggard, completely different from his usual handsome and elegant appearance.

How can he rest and recover in peace when his wife has been abducted?

"Mr. Tang, there's no need to persuade me anymore. I want to go find Yaoyao." Helian Yun murmured in a low voice.

Love can mislead and wear people down.

Tang Zhongjun never married in his entire life and did not understand the Third Young Master and his blind actions caused by love.

He advised rationally again: "Master Helian, it will be useless for you to go. Besides, the man who kidnapped the young lady is a master in martial arts. My master told me that he managed to escape with just one move and kidnapped the third young lady. If we really fight him, I'm afraid you are the only one among us who can contend with him. Now please heal your wounds as soon as possible and don't miss the important matter."

"Have you found out who that person is?" Helian Yun asked anxiously.

Tang Zhongjun shook his head: "That person was covered with a black veil, but judging from his figure and voice, he was quite young."

That means knowing nothing and there is nothing to check!

Helian Yun's eyes were red, and his chest was rising and falling violently. He closed his eyes and pondered for a while, and finally put down the sword in his hand and continued to regulate his breathing and heal his wounds.

Wei Wushang's estimate was just right. At midnight, they were already at the outskirts of Luoshui Town in Beiming.

During the journey, Mu Yao was extremely amazed at the man's arm strength. He held her in his arms and flew steadily for several hours without even breathing hard. The plane even had to refuel on the way!

Wei Wushang had already put on his veil again, and he tore off a piece of satin from the hem of his robe and handed it to her: "Cover it up."

Mu Yao pursed her lips and refused to answer. She frowned and said, "I'm wearing snow-white satin and a black veil. It will attract attention. I'd better do it myself." After saying that, she reluctantly pulled off a piece of fabric from under her skirt and covered her face with it.

"Buy me a dress. It can't be worse than this one." Mu Yao said sullenly. The fabric of this dress came from her betrothal gift. My mother-in-law said that one piece of fabric cost 50,000 taels, and this dress cost more than 3,000 taels.

Wei Wushang glanced at her snow-white satin unhappily and said nonchalantly, "How can you be at a disadvantage by following me?" He had nothing else but a lot of money.

Luoshui Town is very close to the capital of Beiming, Xianshui. Beiming is surrounded by water on three sides, so many place names contain the word "water".

At this moment, the streets are still bustling, with only a few shops closing their stalls.

I have heard that the people of Beiming love nightlife. Mu Yao looked at the endless long street, the rows of colorful lanterns as bright as stars in the sky, and the bustling crowds, and sighed in her heart that this is a veritable "city that never sleeps"!

Wei Wushang took Mu Yao to a clothing store called "Caisanglou" to choose clothes.

At night, there were only two or three people in the store, and their presence did not attract much attention.

The people of Beiming were open-minded, and most of the women's skirts were low-cut, which made Mu Yao feel very conflicted. In desperation, she asked for three sets of skirts and a gray and white all-match veil to make do with, and changed into one of the amber skirts, using the veil to cover herself tightly.

"My lady, you have a good taste. These pieces are new models. I think they fit you perfectly. The clothes in our store are very select. Your figure is amazing. You are one in a million! Your husband is so lucky to marry such a beautiful lady!" Shopkeeper Kuang said happily. I didn't expect to meet a wealthy customer near closing time. The young couple bought five top-quality pieces without any other requests. They easily made 80,000 taels! The owner was worried that the price was too high and no one would buy. Look, it's still easy to make money from young couples and spend money happily!

"He's not..." Mu Yao was about to explain, but Wei Wushang threw out two large banknotes and slapped them on the counter, saying, "No need to change."

Under the excited and incredulous gaze of Shopkeeper Kuang, the two of them quickly left Caisanglou.

"I see you're quite rich." Mu Yao said word by word through her teeth.

"Well, I have a small fortune, but it's not as much as the hundreds of millions of taels I owe you." Wei Wushang replied without changing his expression.

Mu Yao choked, suppressed her dissatisfaction and asked, "Where are we going next?" She carefully observed the layout of the town and wrote down the route she had taken to the best of her ability.

"Deyi Tower." Wei Wushang replied expressionlessly.

After a cup of tea, the two of them stood in a dark corner opposite Deyi Building. Mu Yao saw Wei Wushang staring at the restaurant without blinking, and asked suspiciously, "Why don't you go in?"

"Wait a little longer." He replied calmly.

It was almost midnight, and he didn't expect so many people to gather in the hall at this hour. It was really strange. Wei Wushang was hesitating whether to change to another restaurant.

Mu Yao seemed to understand his concerns, but she was happy that Wei Wushang was the center of everyone's attention. It would be best if she could lure Jin Yanhui over so that she would have a chance to escape.

"I'm tired and can't stand anymore. Let's go in. Look at the sky!" After saying that, he pointed to the sundial hanging high on the city wall not far away.

Thinking of her amazing arm strength and agile skills, Wei Wushang's mouth curled up into a beautiful arc, and he said unmoved: "Do you need me to help you?"

All right. She could see that this man was more difficult to deal with than Han Qi.

About an hour later, just as Mu Yao was leaning against the gray wall and about to fall asleep, Wei Wushang said, "Let's go."

At this time, there were no guests in the hall of "Deyilou", only a few waiters were doing the cleanup work.

"A room upstairs." Wei Wushang said.

"Two rooms." Mu Yao did not give in.

The waiter half-opened his sleepy eyes and said with all his strength: "Sorry, there is only one room left."

When the amber figure came into view, the guy instantly became full of energy as if he had been injected with chicken blood!

Oh, what did he see! A young lady! A young lady with a beautiful figure!

This is incredible! He has made it big, and he can even get on a conversation with a noble lady!

Then he said seriously, "My lady, it's true. We only have one upper room left in the entire restaurant. A caravan happened to pass by today, and they had nearly forty people. Half of the upper rooms were given to them."

"This is the room." Wei Wushang did not give Mu Yao any chance to escape. He took the key, ordered dinner, and took Mu Yao upstairs.
