Liu Ruyan smiled brightly, like a peach blossom blooming in spring. "Okay! If you win, I'll learn from you."
Before Li Xingyun could even express his joy, Liu Ruyan immediately added, "What if you lose?"
"Haha, then I'll learn some ventriloquism too?" Li Xingyun asked with a playful smile, which was even brighter than the sun.
"Get lost!" A coquettish voice rang out, and Liu Ruyan's beautiful face instantly flushed, as adorable as a ripe apple. Her beautiful eyes widened, and she glared at Li Xingyun fiercely, as if she wanted to convey all her shame and anger to him through this glance.
"If you lose, you'll have to wash my feet for a whole month!" Liu Ruyan said angrily, realizing something was amiss as soon as she said it. After all, in this world, having a man wash your feet was far from ordinary. Her heart skipped a beat as she subconsciously glanced cautiously at Li Xingyun's face, fearing she might catch a glimmer of anger.
To Liu Ruyan's surprise, Li Xingyun didn't seem to mind. His lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile as he declared, "Okay! It's a deal!" For Li Xingyun, washing his beloved wife's feet was nothing. Furthermore, he was completely confident of winning this bet; there was no chance of losing.
Hearing Li Xingyun's straightforward agreement, Liu Ruyan's heart finally settled. She breathed a sigh of relief, her tense nerves gradually relaxing. Then, she smiled, nodded gently, and said in a sweet voice, "Okay, it's a deal!"
"Sir... he... he just left like that?" On the official road, the old man widened his eyes, staring at the backs of Li Xingyun and Liu Ruyan in astonishment, muttering to himself in disbelief.
"You don't need to remind me. I'm not blind, I can see!" The girl standing beside him was already furious. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on the receding figure, her teeth clenched tightly around her lip, as if she wanted to vent all her anger. The slight tension and fear on her face had disappeared without a trace.
After a long while, the old man slowly came back to his senses. He turned around, looked at the girl with a slightly awe-inspiring gaze, and asked cautiously: "Sir, then...then what should we do next? Otherwise, we should ask for instructions first?" There was a hint of panic in his voice.
However, the girl didn't even bother to look at him, and just replied casually: "You go back by yourself." After that, she still stared at the direction where Li Xingyun left, thinking quickly about how to deal with it in her mind.
Liu Ruyan, standing by, couldn't help but remind him, "If you don't hurry up and catch up with that father and daughter, I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult to meet them again after we part today!"
Hearing this, Li Xingyun smiled faintly, his expression calm and composed, not a trace of panic. He responded slowly, "That's fine. As the saying goes, if you're willing to take the bait, they'll come to you."
The next morning, as the first rays of sunlight shone across the earth, the massive convoy slowly set off, the wheels creaking as they rolled. However, less than half an hour later, the voice of the Mirror Heart Devil rang out from outside the carriage curtains.
"Your Highness, there's a girl collapsed on the road not far ahead. The guards have checked, and it's the girl you rescued yesterday!"
If it was just a stranger, given Mirror Heart Demon's temperament, he probably wouldn't have bothered to meddle. But the prince had personally rescued the girl yesterday, and they had met again here today. It was only natural that he should report this to the prince.
Moreover, they, the followers, heard clearly Li Xingyun's impudent teasing of the girl yesterday. If it weren't for this, who would care about the life or death of a strange girl?
At this time, Li Xingyun, who was sitting in the carriage, heard the report from Jing Xinmo, turned to look at Liu Ruyan beside him, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with a hint of imperceptible cunning: "Ruyan, why don't we go and take a look together? Maybe this girl has had an accident." In fact, Li Xingyun had his own little plan in mind.
He was worried that if Liu Ruyan refused to admit it afterwards and insisted that he had forced the girl, then in this world without surveillance cameras, he wouldn't be able to explain himself even if he had a thousand mouths!
Liu Ruyan's eyes flickered as she listened to Li Xingyun's words, pondering inwardly. She also keenly sensed that something was amiss—how could she have encountered the same person twice in just two days? Moreover, how could he have fainted at the front of the convoy, even though he had no horse?
Thinking of this, Liu Ruyan nodded slightly and replied, "Okay." Then the two of them stood up and got off the carriage, walking forward side by side...
The two men left the carriage and walked towards the front of the convoy. Just then, they saw the girl in the emerald green dress from yesterday, now lying in a state of disarray under a crooked neck tree by the roadside.
Her once bright, spotless dress was now covered in dirt and stains, as if she had been through a fierce battle. Her delicate, pretty face was also covered in dust, making her look slightly haggard. Even her beautiful hair was now tangled and messy.
Seeing this, Li Xingyun hurriedly walked over to the girl and quickly squatted down. Unexpectedly, he suddenly reached out like lightning and unceremoniously pinched the girl's chest. This sudden action made the girl's body tense instantly, and her eyes, which had been closed, were suddenly filled with an indescribable look of shame and anger.
However, Li Xingyun seemed unfazed, maintaining his unhurried demeanor. He slowly raised his other hand and gently patted the girl's dirty cheek a few times, then shouted at the top of his lungs, "Girl...Girl, wake up! What's wrong with you? Have you been insulted?"
Hearing this, the girl felt as if ten thousand alpaca horses were galloping through her heart. What do you mean by insulted? God damn, insulted! It's obviously you who took advantage of me! You are the one who was insulted, your whole family is insulted!
