"Haha, Your Majesty, I was just joking."

Chu Xi laughed and quickly backed away.

"joke?"

"I think Xi'er seems to want it very much."

Yan Jingshuo smiled slightly and said, "I don't feel like I'm angry." But in Chu Xi's eyes, this is more terrifying than being angry. It feels like the devil is smiling, which is very scary.

"Haha, how is that possible? Our Ziyi is a girl. It's impossible in this lifetime."

Chu Xi quickly made the assurance, speaking sincerely and even went over to hold Yan Jingshuo's hand to show his sincerity.

Looking at the soft little hand holding his, Yan Jingshuo's expression eased.

"Miss, there is a woman in front calling for help."

Hearing Zi Yi's voice, Chu Xi let go of Yan Jingshuo's hand and reached out.

“I’m in love with myself.”

Seeing the little hand letting go of him, Yan Jingshuo narrowed his eyes. This little woman changes so quickly.

The carriage soon arrived at a place, and as soon as Chu Xi got off the carriage, he saw a woman hanging on a tree by a big net.

Due to the long time of calling for help, the woman was already a little weak, with messy hair and white and peeling lips. When she saw someone coming, she immediately shouted excitedly.

"Hero, save me"

"help me"

Chu Xi walked closer and saw that it was indeed a woman. He signaled Zi Yi to get her down.

Zi Yi stepped forward and threw a dart to cut the rope at the top, and the woman in the net fell heavily to the ground.

"Ah~"

After the woman broke free from the net, she kowtowed to Chu Xi and the others.

"Thank you for saving me, my little woman has no way to repay you."

The woman was wearing a blue coarse cloth that had been washed a little pale, and there were a few patches on the clothes. She was pretty, with red lips, white teeth, fair skin, and regular features. She was a pretty girl, but her clothes were a little shabby. Chu Xi waved his hand, indicating that she didn't need to be polite.

"You are too polite, young lady. It's just a small favor."

The woman saw that Chu Xi was the one in charge, so she looked up at him. He had a handsome face, wore a white robe, and had a jade pendant on his waist. He looked very impressive. The woman's eyes lit up, and she bowed again:

"Thank you very much for saving me, sir. I have no way to repay you, but..."

"Stop it..."

Chu Xi was familiar with this plot, as it had been played many times in TV dramas. No need to guess, her next line would definitely be "I have nothing to repay you with, so I can only pledge my love to you with my body." She immediately interrupted:

“You are too polite, young lady. It is just a small favor for us.

Girl, don’t take it to heart.”

After Chu Xi finished speaking, he turned around and got on the carriage.

The woman was obviously stunned. She raised her hand and wanted to say something, but Chu Xi had already entered the carriage.

"Sir, you are so kind, please let me follow you and give me food to eat.

Washing clothes, cooking, cleaning, I am good at it

Please accept me, sir."

The woman kneeling on the ground spoke hurriedly, afraid that Chu Xi couldn't hear her.

Chu Xi didn't say anything, but just signaled the driver to hurry up.

"Young Master"

"Young Master"

The group started on their journey again. The woman did not give up and kept following the carriage.

As evening approached, we finally stopped in front of an inn.

As soon as Chu Xi got off the carriage, he saw a figure following behind him. After taking a closer look, he found that it was the woman he rescued at noon.

The woman lowered her head and said nothing. She just stood there motionless, looking very pitiful.

Chu Xi didn't say anything, but just took Yan Jingshuo's hand and walked into the inn.

Yan Jingshuo turned his head to look at the woman, then let Chu Xi pull him in.

Qingfeng had already quickly booked a few guest rooms from the shopkeeper, and Chu Xi and the others went straight upstairs and into their rooms.
