A concubine? You're more like a joke. I'd rather send you to your death.

Bai Luoluo slowly removed the needles from Gu Yan's body.

"puff!"

Gu Yan coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Subsequently, his internal strength began to grow rapidly.

"I might be about to break through in my internal energy."

After saying this, Gu Yan reached out and put on his clothes, then closed his eyes in an instant.

His internal energy is about to break through; what kind of divine operation is this?

I once heard my grandfather say that internal energy is a kind of gas that lingers in the dantian. Only by cultivating to a certain level can one truly fly like a god.

However, these are all just legends. Although she came from an ancient martial arts family, she only practiced some physical exercises and did not develop any internal energy.

Ancient martial arts families are merely a form of inheritance, rarely seen in modern times.

Bai Luoluo sat beside Gu Yan, observing him. Before she knew it, it was already late at night, and she was so tired that she fell asleep.

Gu Yan's internal strength had increased fivefold, and he opened his eyes in surprise.

Could it be the effect of snake gall?

He glanced to the side and saw Bai Luoluo curled up asleep, her face slightly pale.

Gu Yan got up and moved the flame to the entrance of the cave, then picked up some soft, dry leaves and spread them inside.

Having done all this, he got up, picked up Bai Luoluo, and walked step by step toward the cave.

It's possible that Bai Luoluo was too tired and caught a chill, which is why she has developed a low-grade fever.

Gu Yan felt warm, and Bai Luoluo instinctively moved closer to him.

He gently put Bai Luoluo down.

At this moment, Bai Luoluo felt as if the teddy bear in her dream had disappeared, and she felt really cold.

"cold........."

She murmured as Gu Yan placed his large, well-defined hand on her forehead.

It feels slightly hot; could it be that I caught a chill?

Gu Yan frowned as he looked at Bai Luoluo's huddled-up body.

At this moment, Bai Luoluo held onto Gu Yan's arm tightly, muttering "cold" repeatedly.

Seeing this, Gu Yan was in a dilemma, since men and women should not touch each other.

At this moment, Bai Luoluo was shivering from the cold and pulled Gu Yan down to lie down with a forceful pull.

His cheeks flushed slightly, and before Gu Yan could get up, Bai Luoluo clung to him like an octopus, refusing to let go.

"you.........."

Seeing Bai Luoluo like this, Gu Yan tensed up and didn't dare to move at all.

And so, the two huddled together for warmth.

The firelight flickered enticingly at the edge of the cave, creating an atmosphere of intense ambiguity.

..........

The first rays of sunlight in the morning shine on the earth, instantly illuminating everything.

Bai Luoluo tried to move, but felt as if she was being held in someone's arms and couldn't move at all.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she opened her eyes instantly.

At this moment, Gu Yan also woke up, and the two looked at each other.

The atmosphere became subtle. Gu Yan looked at Bai Luoluo's lazy appearance after just waking up, and his Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.

His hand was resting on Bai Luoluo's slender waist.

Is this awkward?

How did she and Gu Yan...?

Bai Luoluo was in a panic. She was in such an awkward situation. Should she speak first?

Looking at the magnified handsome face before her, Bai Luoluo lowered her eyes.

Form is emptiness, emptiness is form; Bai Luoluo, you must not be blinded by beauty.

"Hehe, good morning!"

Bai Luoluo tried to remain calm, but it was her first time being so intimate with a man, and her heart was pounding.

Gu Yan had a high nose bridge, thin lips, and a faint blush on his cheeks. He was so handsome that he was impeccable. His star-like eyes looked at Bai Luoluo in his arms.

At that moment, his heart was pounding uncontrollably, and his mind was filled with a flutter of emotions.

After all, this was the first time he had been so close to a woman, and they had even slept together in each other's arms.

Bai Luoluo lowered her head slightly. Her eyelashes were long, like two small fans. The previous stench was gone, replaced by a unique feminine fragrance. Her cheeks seemed less dark than before, and the spots had faded considerably as the poison was neutralized. Her whole face was flushed with a faint blush, like a ripe peach.

"I'm sorry, you had a fever last night and kept saying you were cold, so I held you to warm you up. If you're willing, I can take responsibility."

Gu Yan collected his thoughts. Although he didn't know how long he could live, as a man he had to take responsibility.

What the hell?

Responsible!

"No need to take responsibility, it was just a hug."

Bai Luoluo shifted her body, trying to get up, but found that the large hand around her waist had not let go.

"Since we are intimate, I can marry you."

"Big brother, could you please take your hand away first?"

You want to marry me? I don't want to.

Is there any emotional foundation between them if he marries her after just one hug?

Can such a marriage withstand the test of time? Obviously not.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yan immediately removed his hand and sat up abruptly.

Seeing his reaction, Bai Luoluo thought to herself, "This man is quite innocent."

"It's getting light, let's freshen up and leave quickly."

Gu Yan stood up, put on his coat, tidied himself up, and walked out of the cave.

He knew Bai Luoluo didn't want to marry him, and perhaps this was for the best for her, since he would die young if he didn't get the antidote.

The two arrived at the edge of the pool at the bottom of the cliff and quickly washed up.

"I'll carry you up."

Gu Yan glanced at the top of the cliff. It was so high that climbing up would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Upon hearing this, Bai Luoluo frowned and glanced at the cliff face.

Without climbing equipment, it would be difficult for her to climb up.

"Thank you."

Seeing that Bai Luoluo agreed, Gu Yan picked her up by the waist and leaped into the air.

"Don't be afraid, just hold me tight."

Seeing that Bai Luoluo's body was a little tense, Gu Yan thought she was scared and comforted her.

"Ah."

After all, Gu Yan's flying speed was so fast that Bai Luoluo had never flown like that before. She was excited, thrilled, and a little unaccustomed to such speed. Without hesitation, she reached out and hugged Gu Yan's neck.

She didn't want to fall, so she didn't hold back, since they were sleeping in each other's arms.

Bai Luoluo's actions made Gu Yan tremble slightly, and he unconsciously tightened his arms around her, bringing the two into almost direct contact.

Their breaths mingled, a gentle breeze whistled by, and their hair became tangled together.

Before long, Gu Yan stood steadily on the cliff top, holding Bai Luoluo in his arms.

He gently put Bai Luoluo down.

"We can't stay here any longer; we need to leave quickly."

He was constantly being hunted down; otherwise, he wouldn't have become separated from his subordinates.

"Okay, I'll let you know when I get to Phoenix Restaurant."

After Bai Luoluo finished speaking, she started walking down the mountain.

"Be careful, if anything happens, you can go to Phoenix Restaurant."

Looking at the thin figure from behind, Gu Yan gave him some words of advice with concern.

He cannot escort her down the mountain, and he cannot appear in the capital now.

"Do not worry."

Without turning her head, Bai Luoluo replied indifferently.

Suddenly, two figures rushed over and knelt on the ground.

"Master, it's so good that you're alright. It's all our fault for being incompetent and failing to protect you."

"There were too many assassins, which is to be expected. Yesterday, the poison took effect and he was delirious."

"Master looks great, and he has regained consciousness so quickly this time."

Each time Gu Yan has an attack, it takes at least three days for her to regain consciousness.

"I met a fairy, and her medical skills were superb." Gu Yan recalled the scene with Bai Luoluo, and his eyes softened unconsciously. "Leng Ye, have you found out who sent the assassin?"

"Reporting to Master, the assassin's identity is unknown, but I have already sent people to investigate. If I am not mistaken, he is one of the Third Prince's men, but our men have not obtained any evidence."

Cold Night and Cold Wind exchanged a glance.

Fairy?

But they dared not ask further, wondering if there really were fairies in this world.

"Get out of here first."

Gu Yan glanced in the direction Bai Luoluo was heading down the mountain, then moved slightly and instantly left the cliff top.
