The sacred tree is about to pass, and the cannon fodder's wish countdown is coming

"What's used up?" Lu Shi was slightly shocked.

"Points. I've earned points for six years, and now they're all gone. I still owe the system 2000 points."

There was a hint of helplessness in Xie Yue's voice, but there was not much sadness or frustration on his face, as if he didn't care about it at all.

However, if one observes carefully, one will find that he is not as calm as he appears.

"Is it because you saved me?" Lu Shi lowered her head. No one could see the secretive look in her eyes. They could only hear the guilt in her voice.

"Yeah," Xie Yue raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, with an elusive emotion flashing in his eyes, "So if I can't go home, you have to be responsible."

Although his words were light-hearted and joking, they seemed to contain some deep meaning.

I don't know if Lu Shi heard it, but she patted her chest and promised: "No problem, I will definitely listen to you and treat you well in the future. I promise that you will treat this place as your home."

Lu Shi handed the grilled fish to Xie Yue, "To show my sincerity, you eat this grilled fish first!"

"Okay." Xie Yue didn't refuse, but in the end he still divided the fish into two portions, "Let's eat it together. The fish is very big, I definitely can't finish it, and it won't taste good if it gets cold."

"Hmm." Lu Shi took the fish handed to him by Xie Yue and ate it slowly, but he seemed to have no taste.

This was the first time she had no expectations for delicious food...

The two of them finished their first meal after falling off the cliff, each with their own thoughts.

After dinner, Xie Yue took Lu Shi for a walk in the valley, trying to find a way out of the bottom of the cliff.

One of them is the emperor, and the other is the regent. Both of them have important positions in the court. Although Xie Yue's subordinates will try their best to stabilize the situation, in order to avoid any accidents, they still have to return to the capital as soon as possible.

As for the officials in the temple, they should put the overall situation first, so there is no need to worry about them.

The road at the bottom of the cliff was difficult to walk on. The weeds grew very lushly along both sides of the river, almost reaching above the waists of the two people. Many of the weeds had sharp barbs, which would easily scratch your hands and leave bloody marks if you were not careful.

Lu Shi was not too worried, but her current appearance was not very good. There were big holes in both her inner and outer clothes, revealing the skin on her shoulders.

Fortunately, Xie Yue noticed her embarrassment and handed her his coat.

Without his outer garment, Xie Yue was left with only a light green inner garment, which looked very thin.

The grass was covered in dew in the early morning, and it would easily soak your clothes. With the current temperature, it would be easy to catch a cold or a fever.

Thinking of this, Lu Shi, with an unknown emotion in his heart, took the initiative to give him his white coat with a hole in it.

"You can wear this coat. Even though there's a hole on the shoulder, your inner garment isn't torn, so it's nothing serious. The bloodstains on it just look scary, so bear with it for now, or you might get sick."

Xie Yue lowered his eyebrows and looked at the coat that was mostly stained with blood. His face seemed nonchalant, but his heart was secretly in a knot.

"Why did you block that arrow for me then?"

Lu Shi's clear and lively eyes moved slightly, as if he was thinking, "I didn't think so much at the time, I just felt that you were more important than myself."

"And that arrow was aimed at your heart. I was thinking if I didn't block it for you, what would I do if you died? Even if I blocked it for you, it would only hit my shoulder, so the injury wouldn't be too serious."

She said I was more important than herself...

Xie Yue raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and his long eyelashes drooped slightly, covering the dazzling brilliance in his eyes. "In the future, you must protect yourself first in such situations."

"I understand. Let's talk about it next time." Lu Shi didn't care.

Seeing that Lu Shi didn't take his words to heart, Xie Yue didn't get angry. "Let Ruofeng stay by your side from now on. He has good martial arts skills and can protect you."

"Ah!" Lu Shi frowned. "He'll be by my side from now on. He won't have to watch me do my homework every day, right?"

"What's wrong, don't you want to do your homework?"

"I don't really want to." Lu Shi said tentatively, looking up to secretly observe Xie Yue's reaction.

Xie Yue's eyebrows curled up into a smile, "Then I won't do it anymore."

shock!

"Really?" Lu Shi was genuinely surprised. "Didn't you say your mission was to make me a wise ruler? If I don't do my homework, when will you be able to complete your mission?"

"It's okay, don't you still have me?" Xie Yue stopped, his eyes soft and firm, "As long as you listen to me, I can make you a wise ruler."

Moreover, it doesn’t matter if the mission is not completed.

He can stay here as long as she is here.

Xie Yue didn't say the rest of the words, because this incident would always show up in his future life.

He would let her know that he would always be with her.

"Okay, then I'll rely on you from now on!"

Lu Shi patted Xie Yue's shoulder happily, acting like a good friend.

"gone."

Xie Yue's eyes were deep as he looked around and said with a smile, then he took Lu Shi's hand and took the initiative to lead the way for her.

Lu Shi let him hold her hand, and the two of them walked along the river at the bottom of the cliff for a long time, and finally saw a house.

Xie Yue was wearing a white robe covered in blood and it was not convenient for him to ask around, so Lu Shi went to ask for information.

Lu Shi walked into the house and came out with a bunch of dates in his hand.

Don't get me wrong, these were not given to her by others, but were taken from the space by herself. They were the dates that she stored in the space in her first world.

She thought that they had walked for such a long time and they must eat something. She was fine, but Xie Yue would definitely not be able to handle it if he had to lead the way for her.

It’s hard to explain why the good things in the space were taken out, but this bunch of dates is just right. When asked, I can say that it was given by that family.

"I just asked. This place is not far from the capital. If we go a little further to the right, we will reach the town. We can then go to the town and buy a carriage."

"By the way, do you have any silver on you?"

Lu Shi stuffed the fruit into Xie Yue's arms and began to grope his body, trying to find traces of money on him.

"Don't……"

Lu Shi touched Xie Yue's upper body almost all over and stopped only after hearing his refusal. She looked up at his expression, which was terrible.

Xie Yue looked like he had been rubbed intensely, his eyes were beautiful and blurred, two blushes appeared on his fair face involuntarily, and his jade-like earlobes also turned red.

He held the pile of fruits tightly in his hands, looking just like a young wife.

The moment their eyes met, Xie Yue's eyes were filled with pink and his breathing became increasingly unstable.

Xie Yue seemed embarrassed to be looked at. He lowered his head and said softly, "Aren't my clothes on you? The clothes on me are yours."

"I forgot." Lu Shi smiled awkwardly.

"It's ok."

Xie Yue moved awkwardly, "I know you didn't mean it, but if you want to..."

If you want to touch it, you can...
