Even women who travel through time can become prime ministers and nobles.

The low growls of animals echoed through the forest at night, and as summer approached, people would set up firewood and start cooking dinner.

"It's quite creepy late at night. Brother Shen, how are you feeling? Are you feeling better?"

After Shen Yanchu finished regulating his breathing, he opened his eyes and saw that the girl was covered in weeds and mud, with some mud on her face as well. He reached out to wipe it off for her, but then immediately withdrew his hand, realizing that he had been impolite.

Shi Wanxia didn't notice his movements because she was looking at the pot. She had brought three bamboo tubes filled with water; otherwise, she wouldn't dare go to the river in the dark. The rich aroma wafting from the pot made her stomach rumble.

"Gurgle..." Shi Wanxia clutched her stomach and glanced at him discreetly. Seeing that he didn't react, she figured he hadn't heard her. She didn't think much of it, took a bowl, ladled out the cooked wild vegetable and mushroom soup, and handed it to him.

Shen Yanchu nodded his thanks. He had heard the rumbling in her stomach earlier, but as a young lady, he was easily embarrassed, and how could he, as a man, make fun of her? In the end, it was he who had dragged her down.

"Oh, it's so cold outside, finally we can have something hot to eat. Brother Shen, don't worry, we'll get out of here. Just take good care of yourself. It's a pity I'm too old, otherwise I would like to learn light-body skills. The feeling of flying is so good. If I can't beat someone, I can just run away."

Shi Wanxia's words amused him. He was used to the girl talking non-stop while eating. She couldn't stay still, whether it was her mouth or her hands and feet. Shen Yanchu ate two bowls before putting down his chopsticks.

“Miss Shi, if you really want to learn, I can teach you. You are intelligent and quick-witted, so you can learn if you want.”

"It's just that unlike a three- or four-year-old child, a girl's bones are already fully formed. If she really wants to learn, she will not only have to start from the very basics, but she will also experience more pain than others, and the effect will not be as good as if she had been learning martial arts since childhood."

Shi Wanxia was stunned. Could he really learn it? Judging from his tone, it seemed quite painful. He struggled with the decision for a long time in his letter. Even if it was painful, he had to learn it!

In this cannibalistic ancient world, having martial arts skills is always better than being completely powerless! After thinking for a while, she looked at him and said, "Brother Shen, I'll learn, no matter how hard it is." I've already completed military training, what am I afraid of? I'll learn no matter how difficult it is.

Shen Yanchu gazed at the girl with tender eyes. She seemed delicate and naive, but she was kind-hearted, decisive, quick-witted, and intelligent, unlike ordinary women. His martial arts were not suitable for her to learn, but his master could instruct her later.

In the golden autumn, the evening breeze blows, and even a tree hollow can't compare to the warmth inside a cave. Even with the firewood burning red-hot, the tent is still surprisingly cold, and the nighttime temperature is astonishingly low.

Shi Wanxia tossed and turned in bed, trying to find some warmth. Her body involuntarily curled up, but she still couldn't resist the invasion of cold.

Unconsciously, she rolled into Shen Yanchu's arms again. Shen Yanchu was startled awake by her movement and sighed helplessly.

He felt Shi Wanxia's body trembling, and he gently pulled her into his arms, warming her with his own body heat. Shi Wanxia felt his warmth, her body gradually relaxed, and her breathing became steady. He had now grown accustomed to sleeping with this girl.

For several days in a row, the autumn rain drizzled on and off. Although the rain was not heavy, it made the already crisscrossed branches and rugged mountain road even more difficult to walk on.

Shi Wanxia carefully walked ahead with her bag on her back. It had been raining for days, so they dared not sleep too close to the river. When the river rose, they couldn't even run away.

Even though it was raining and she was traveling, her clothes were wet and her trousers and shoes were covered in mud. She kept using weeds and leaves to clean the mud off her shoes. Shen Yanchu kept a gloomy face. After all, this guy was always particular. His shoes and clothes were also covered in mud. It was not convenient to wash his clothes while they were traveling. They could only wait for the weather to clear up.

"Brother Shen, slow down. The road here is uneven and full of potholes. Brother Shen, look, this footprint is huge. It looks like a tiger or leopard's footprint. Come and take a look."

Shi Wanxia noticed several footprints on the ground that resembled cat paws but were larger than her own feet. Shen Yanchu carefully squatted down, his eyes fixed on the huge footprints on the ground. He stretched out his hand and gently measured the size of the footprints with his fingers, secretly marveling at them.

The footprints were so large that they seemed to resemble tiger claws, with each toe mark clearly visible, as if they carried a hint of the beast's majesty.

“Miss Shi, come behind me. These are tiger footprints. Be careful. If you encounter one, find a safe place to hide. Don’t be reckless. This tiger is quite big, and I’m not confident I can hunt it down.”

Shi Wanxia observed her surroundings with trepidation, fearing that the tiger might suddenly appear.

His fingers traced the outline of the footprints, feeling the rough texture, as if he could imagine the immense power of this mysterious creature.

Shen Yanchu's heart skipped a beat. He knew that such footprints meant that there might be dangerous creatures nearby.

He stood up, looked around, and cautiously observed his surroundings. The forest was silent, save for the rustling of leaves in the breeze. Yet, this silence only made him more uneasy, as if a pair of eyes were watching him from the shadows.

Shen Yanchu took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. He decided to keep going; he had to leave this place and find a safer spot. The footprints were deep, with plenty of water and some leaves in them, indicating they weren't fresh; they had been there for some time.

But at the same time, he remained highly vigilant, ready to deal with any potential dangers. He walked in front, protecting Shi Wanxia behind him, his steps becoming more cautious, each step taken with care, for fear of disturbing the beast lurking in the shadows.

The two walked cautiously for a long time without finding any trace of the tiger. Shi Wanxia secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Yanchu keenly sensed something amiss, and his ears twitched slightly. Immediately afterward, a deafening tiger's roar came from the depths of the jungle ahead, a sound that seemed to tear the heavens and earth apart.

The tiger's roar echoed through the valley, startling many animals that lived nearby. Birds flapped their wings in terror and took to the sky;

The small animals scattered and fled, seeking safe hiding places. The ground began to shake violently, as if a thousand horses were galloping past. Shen Yanchu realized that a terrible beast tide was about to arrive.

His heart suddenly raced, and a tense atmosphere filled the air. Shen Yanchu's gaze was piercing, and his inner energy circulated rapidly within him. He tightly embraced Shi Wanxia's slender waist, and with a light touch of his toes, he leaped up like a ghost. In an instant, the two of them flew to a large tree.

Shi Wanxia felt a gentle breeze brush past, and the scenery before her eyes changed rapidly. When she regained her senses, she found herself among the dense foliage of a large tree. She looked at Shen Yanchu in surprise, her eyes filled with admiration and amazement.

Shen Yanchu stood tall and straight on a thick tree branch, like an immortal descending to earth. His clothes fluttered in the wind, exuding an otherworldly aura. Shi Wanxia stood beside him, feeling the powerful aura emanating from him, and a strange sense of security welled up in her heart. As the tremors intensified, a dark mass of figures appeared in the distant jungle, and various wild beasts surged in like a tide.
