The Rise of a General's Daughter-in-Law Doctor

Li Muxia was still a little uncomfortable with Feng Yuhan calling her name so affectionately, but she didn't say anything. She looked up at the sky, yawned, and said, "It's getting late, let's rest for a while."

The two men reined in their horses and found a relatively clean spot to sit down. Qingyun, who was hiding in the shadows, walked over to them, cupped his hands, and said, "I'll go hunt a few wild rabbits and bring them back."

After saying that, he slipped away.

Feng Yuhan and Li Muxia were not idle either. Feng Yuhan went to gather some firewood nearby, while Li Muxia took the seasonings for roasting meat off the horse.

After packing her things, seeing that Feng Yuhan and Qingyun had not yet returned, Li Muxia yawned and leaned against a big tree, unexpectedly falling asleep.

When Feng Yuhan returned, he saw Li Muxia leaning against a big tree, fast asleep. He shook his head and smiled wryly, muttering to himself, "Looks like she's exhausted these past few days."

He put down the firewood and came to Li Muxia's side. Although it was springtime and the grass was green, the temperature was not very high. Worried that Li Muxia would catch a cold, he took his cloak off the horse and carefully covered Li Muxia with it.

While asleep, Li Muxia suddenly smelled a familiar scent of sandalwood and felt warmth emanating from her body. She unconsciously smiled and slept even more soundly, completely forgetting that she just wanted to rest and wait for Feng Yuhan and the others to return.

Feng Yuhan looked at Li Muxia, who was sleeping soundly, and carefully lit a fire next to her.

Looking up, he saw Qingyun carrying two already processed wild rabbits and put his hand to his lips in a shushing gesture.

Qingyun was stunned for a moment, but when she saw Li Muxia sleeping soundly beside her, she instantly understood her master's meaning. She tiptoed to the fire, looked at the wild rabbit she was carrying, and then looked at Feng Yuhan, silently asking if he wanted to eat more.

Feng Yuhan said softly, "Let's eat first, and then we'll bake some more for Mu Xia when she wakes up."

Upon hearing Feng Yuhan's words, Qingyun carefully and nimbly skewered the two wild rabbits on wooden sticks and roasted them over the fire.

Looking up, he saw his sect leader staring intently at Li Muxia, a faint smile on his face. Qingyun, who was roasting a rabbit, trembled slightly, thinking to himself: Is the sun going to rise in the west? The sect leader's love is truly astounding.

Suddenly I felt like I was being superfluous here, so I decided to just keep my head down and roast the rabbit.

Li Muxia didn't expect that when she woke up, it was already dark.

I rubbed my eyes uncertainly, and then I heard a gentle voice in my ear: "You're awake."

Li Muxia turned her head and realized that she was actually leaning against Feng Yuhan.

Somewhat embarrassed, she said, "Sorry, I accidentally fell asleep. What time is it now?"

After saying that, she prepared to get up, but perhaps because she had been in one position for too long, her whole body was a little sore and numb. This sudden movement made her lose her balance and fall into a warm embrace.

Feng Yuhan quickly reached out and hugged Li Muxia's body. He was about to get up when Li Muxia suddenly pressed him down. He lost his balance and the two of them fell onto the grass.

Li Muxia wanted to stand up, but the soreness and numbness in her legs made her unable to muster the strength.

Feng Yuhan felt the softness in his arms. This sudden embrace was truly unexpected. However, he understood that it was because Li Muxia's legs were weak. He said, "Don't move. Take a break before getting up."

Upon hearing this, Li Muxia gave up struggling, but her slightly flushed cheeks betrayed her current feelings. After all, anyone would feel embarrassed being held like this by a man.

She said somewhat apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, my legs are just a little numb, they'll be fine in a bit."

Feng Yuhan said softly, "Yes, I know."

Hearing Feng Yuhan's words, Li Muxia felt relieved. She lay against him, inhaling his distinctive sandalwood scent. Her doubts grew, and she couldn't help but wonder: Feng Yuhan and Long Ziheng both smelled of sandalwood, the scents were remarkably similar, practically identical. Moreover, both possessed ice-type internal energy; could these two be...?

Thinking about this, Li Muxia became even more certain of her guess. The two must be related. When they first met, Feng Yuhan said that he had saved her at Ziheng's request. The similarities between the two, as well as Feng Yuhan's business acumen, all indicated that their relationship was extraordinary.

Li Muxia had a bold guess in her mind: Could these two be fellow disciples?

Upon hearing this speculation, Li Muxia's body stiffened. If these two were fellow disciples, then she and Long Ziheng had also established a relationship. Although they were not yet married, it would be inappropriate for her and Ziheng's fellow disciples to be embracing like this.

Thinking of this, Li Muxia disregarded her still slightly numb legs and quickly got up to stand up.

Feng Yuhan sensed Li Muxia's movement. Although he wanted to hold her a little longer, he still got up and helped Li Muxia up.

After Li Muxia stood up, she pulled her arm out of Feng Yuhan's hand and intentionally or unintentionally kept her distance from him. These actions made Feng Yuhan frown, wondering why Li Muxia had suddenly become distant from him.

Li Muxia smiled awkwardly and said, "Thank you, Pavilion Master Feng. Are you hungry? What would you like to eat tonight? I'll make it for you."

Then, realizing they were in the wild with nothing, he gave an awkward laugh and said, "There's not much we can do here, let's just have some barbecue."

Qingyun, who had just returned from hunting, had been hiding in the shadows watching for a long time. He hadn't dared to come out when he saw his master carrying Li Muxia, afraid of ruining his master's good time. Now, when he heard Li Muxia say that she wanted to cook, he led two fish and a pheasant over.

Li Muxia also saw Qingyun. Feeling that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, she went straight to greet her. Looking at the prepared ingredients, Li Muxia didn't hold back her praise.

"Qingyun, you are so thoughtful. The woman who marries you in the future will definitely be very happy."

Hearing this, Qingyun felt a little shy and helpless. As secret guards, they dared not even dream of getting married and having children. Just being alive was good enough.

Feng Yuhan felt a pang of jealousy when he saw Li Muxia chatting and laughing with Qingyun while avoiding him like the plague.

So, later, when everyone was roasting meat around the fire, they would intentionally or unintentionally glare at Qingyun, leaving Qingyun confused and wondering if he had done something wrong. He spent the entire meal thinking about what he had done to offend the sect leader.

Li Muxia, sitting next to them, was eating with great relish, completely unaware of the secret exchange between the two men.
