Women disguised as men went to the battlefield and the emperor bowed down in submission.

Lin Ruoshui arrived at the south bank of the Feng River within three days.

She ordered them to set up camp. They would be staying on the river for at least fifteen days, so they had made ample preparations for supplies and keeping warm.

Xiu Yi and Lin Ruoshui stood on the hillside, looking at the south bank of the Feng River.

Lin Ruoshui said, "This river is really annoying."

Xiu Yi patted Lin Ruoshui's head and said, "Everything will be alright."

Lin Ruoshui looked up and gently touched Xiu Yi's Adam's apple with her lips, then nestled into Xiu Yi's warm embrace. The two of them gazed into the distance together in the cold wind.

That night, Lin Ruoshui arranged for a thousand men to launch a night raid on the garrison on the opposite bank of the river.

The goal is to cause trouble, then run away, with no casualties allowed.

During the first raid, the opposite bank of the river was brightly lit, drums were beating loudly, and boulders were flying everywhere.

For seven consecutive days, the reaction on the other side of the river grew weaker and weaker. Instead of pursuing them, they ordered their archers to fire arrows at them relentlessly.

Lin Ruoshui said, "That's the reaction we want. Starting tomorrow, throw two grenades onto the beach every day."

After being bombarded with grenades for five consecutive days, the enemy realized that the grenades were not that powerful; as long as they didn't get too close, they wouldn't be killed.

When another grenade came flying, they took off running.

Finally, they retreated five miles to set up camp, so that the inhabitants would not have a peaceful night.

Lin Ruoshui said, "There are still two days left. I wonder how the two of them are doing?"

Xiu Yi said, "We will definitely see the signal flare tomorrow."

Lin Ruoshui said, "Yes, I believe they can do it."

Xiu Yi said, "Go to sleep early, and you'll arrive earlier tomorrow."

Lin Ruoshui said, "I can't sleep!"

Xiu Yi said, "I'll fall asleep when I'm exhausted."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ruoshui immediately fled without saying a word.

Xiu Yi was delighted to see that she flew in the direction he had arranged.

Xiu Yi chased after Lin Ruoshui, who ran as fast as she could.

Seeing that Lin Ruoshui was about to run past the surprise he had prepared, Xiu Yi quickened his pace and lunged forward, afraid that Lin Ruoshui would fall into the snow.

Lin Ruoshui got a mouthful of snow and struggled to shout, "Xiuyi, what trick are you going to pull now?"

Xiuyi said, "I'll take you to a very beautiful place."

Upon hearing that it wasn't what she expected, Lin Ruoshui smiled and asked, "What's the surprise?"

Xiu Yi helped her up, patted the snow off her, and said, "Come on, I'll carry you."

Lin Ruoshui happily jumped onto Xiu Yi's back. Xiu Yi's back was broad and warm, making her feel very at ease.

Xiu Yi carried Lin Ruoshui to an ancient tree, and he leaped up into the treehouse.

Lin Ruoshui asked, "Did you build this treehouse?"

Xiu Yi said, "Yes, I started building this treehouse the day we arrived at the Fengshui River."

Lin Ruoshui glanced inside and saw that everything was there, even the stove was burning brightly.

Xiu Yi said, "You'll find a surprise when you lie down."

As Lin Ruoshui lay on the bed in the treehouse, she was surprised to see a sky full of stars.

Xiuyi said, "The fire in the stove is burning brightly, and it doesn't feel cold even with the canopy open."

Lin Ruoshui didn't reply, because she was shocked.

The twinkling Milky Way, like a shimmering ribbon or a myriad of sparkling gems, adorns the sky with a dreamlike beauty that captivates all who behold it.

Lin Ruoshui turned to look at the man lying beside her, watching the stars with her.

She thought to herself, "Xiuyi, the romantic starry sky reflected in your eyes is a paradise I have never seen before."

Xiuyi, you are the most precious star in my heart.

Xiu Yi turned her head, and their eyes met. Lin Ruoshui felt her face burning.

Xiu Yi said, "A thousand stars cannot compare to the brilliance in your eyes, Yingying, you are so beautiful!"

Lin Ruoshui said, "Xiuyi, thank you for everything you've done."

Xiu Yi said, "I've said before, don't say thank you. You are me, and I am you. We are inseparable, so there's no need for thanks."

Lin Ruoshui looked up at the dazzling starlight and said, "This is the first time I've ever seen such beautiful stars. You are with me right now, and I will never forget it."

Xiu Yi pulled Lin Ruoshui's hand and placed it on her lips.

He said, "I will always be with you. Even if I die, my soul will stay with you."

Lin Ruoshui hurriedly stood up, grabbed Xiu Yi's collar, and said in a seductive tone, "You can't die. Even if you die, you have to die behind me, do you hear me?"

Xiu Yi said, "Okay."

Lin Ruoshui loosened his loose collar and helped him straighten it.

Xiu Yi said, "Since they've all loosened up, there's no need to tie them back up."

Xiuyi carried her to the window of the treehouse and said, "From this spot, we can see the stars in the distance."

Lin Ruoshui leaned against the window and looked down; it was quite far from the ground.

She looked up again at the bright Big Dipper in the distance and said, "You can definitely see more from this angle."

Xiu Yi, her eyes glazed over, said, "Alright, let's enjoy the view a little longer then."

After saying that, Lin Ruoshui shouted loudly, and the sound carried far, startling the little squirrels in the distant trees who were also looking at the stars.

The little squirrel shyly scurried back into its hole and closed the door tightly.

The stars in the sky called upon the white clouds to veil their shy faces.

The romantic and passionate Xiuyi indulged in romantic activities for the two of them.

The next morning, Lingye woke up in the tent, feeling unwell as always.

Ling Ye shifted, clenched his teeth, and pinched his waist hard.

He thought to himself, "I'll switch back later and let Yingying suffer a good pain."

When Xiu Yi brought Lin Ruoshui over, Ling Ye was already undressed and ready.

Lin Ruoshui said, "Who told you to take off your clothes? Put them back on quickly."

Ling Ye said, "Stop nagging. I don't want to stay on this body for another second. My back is killing me."

After saying that, he picked up Lin Ruoshui and placed her in the bathtub.

After switching back, Lin Ruoshui said, "Was my back pain caused by you?"

Ling Ye said, "Anyway, your whole body aches, so you won't be any worse off."

When Lin Ruoshui saw that her waist was bruised from being pinched, she angrily said, "Ling Ye, you bastard!"

"If others can be a jerk for one night, can't I be a jerk for once?" Ling Ye said sourly.

Lin Ruoshui said, "Shut up! If you say another word, I'll send you to the palace to be a eunuch."

Ling Ye looked at Lin Ruoshui with teary eyes and said, "I am your savior, how can you treat me like this?"

Lin Ruoshui said, "It's because you always say such unpleasant things."

Ling Ye said, "I'm upset, can't I even make a sarcastic remark?"

Lin Ruoshui said, "You..."

Ling Ye said, "Is it true that only officials are allowed to set fires, while common people are forbidden to light lamps? Even so, please don't make it too obvious, okay?"

Lin Ruoshui sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation.

Ling Ye discovered that Lin Ruoshui was soft-hearted and that playing the victim was effective. He continued, "Do you know that long-term use of muscle-softening powder will render your martial arts useless?"

Do you know what it feels like to be unable to move from bed every day?

I made a mistake before, but we can communicate and I can change it.

You can treat your savior with respect, but you didn't give me a single chance.

I am so pitiful, I am the most pitiful prince in the world.
