After deceiving the villain, I was forced to love him.

The southwest is mountainous and densely forested, with many ethnic groups living together, and armed conflicts occur frequently. You never know which prefectures and counties you will be robbed along the way.

"..." Xue Fengshi fell silent from the bottom of his heart.

Even he himself thought that what Baili Ming said made a lot of sense.

She wasn't that foolish younger sister. "If His Majesty has any difficulties with money, I, Baili Shi, will certainly help him."

"But as for other matters... please understand, sir, that Baili is truly incapable of such an endeavor."

Having said all that, it would be unreasonable to press the issue further.

So Xue Fengshi stood up and bowed, saying, "Thank you."

The host returned the gift, saying, "Uncle Feng, please see Lord Xue off for me."

"This way, Lord Xue."

Watching the figure gradually fade into the distance, Fenglan asked in bewilderment, "Over the years, you and the young lady have secretly sponsored many students in the Southwest. Why not recommend one or two to Lord Xue?"

Bai Liming smiled sweetly, the light in her eyes becoming increasingly enigmatic.

"Some things are only believable when you discover them for yourself."

......

She spent an afternoon playing on the mountain with Wang Qingyan. She was very happy, and the grilled fish was delicious.

The bad news is that Wang Qingyan was bitten by a snake.

The good news is that the snake is said to be non-venomous.

This is said to have come from Wang Qingyan himself.

She also said she would go see a doctor right away.

But Wang strongly refused, repeatedly emphasizing that a minor bite was nothing to worry about!

He also said he wanted to play more.

"Playing, playing, playing!! You'll lose your life in a minute!" Baili Ce disagreed a hundred times, but he couldn't resist the shamelessness of the dignified head of the Wang family.

"I'm not going anyway."

After saying that, she added somewhat sheepishly, "You're not allowed to either."

Seeing that Baili Ce did not answer, he even tried to prove to her that he was capable by doing somersaults and punching.

"Okay, okay, you're good! You're good!"

"But not for boxing."

Judging from the fact that he had some secret that he was afraid of being discovered, Baili Ce did not press the matter further.

After all, everyone has dozens or hundreds of shameful things to do in their lives.

Totally understandable.

Unexpectedly, as she was eating fruit and snacks and watching the sunset in the evening, Wang Qingyan's foot suddenly started to hurt.

In the blink of an eye, the pain became so intense that I couldn't even walk.

"This is what you meant by 'not poisonous'?"

"It's not poisonous."

"......" He was still being stubborn.

After a moment of silence, Baili Ce put his hand over his shoulder, put his arm around his waist, and pulled him close to him.

"Let's go downstairs and see a doctor first."

Wang Qingyan winced in pain, "No, I don't want to see... a doctor..."

I have to go, whether I like it or not!

I don't care!

However, after walking only a few meters, Baili Ce felt as if his bones were about to crack.

Wang Qingyan is like a mountain, getting heavier and heavier.

Gradually, her face turned red, and she began to walk in a serpentine gait, twisting her arms and legs.

Or perhaps she underestimated the weight of an adult patient?

If she were unconscious, she wouldn't be able to lift her at all.

"Wait...wait a minute..." Wang Qingyan tried his best not to let her see too many clues.

Bai Li Ce slowly helped him sit down against a rock. "What?"

"I'll get weaker and weaker... You won't be able to carry me."

For someone without professional training, it is actually very difficult to pick up or carry a completely uncooperative person.

Moreover, he is currently in a special period.

"That......"

Bai Li Ce looked around at the surroundings. It wasn't far from the city and didn't seem to be in the presence of wolves, so it should be safe.

"I'll go down the mountain right away to fetch a doctor."

After saying that, he immediately stood up, but Wang Qingyan grabbed him.

"No...don't go..."

His hands were colder than eating ice in the dead of winter.

"I just want to go find a doctor for you, I'll be back in a bit," Bai Lize tried to reason with him.

Wang Qingyan gripped even tighter, "No..."

I didn't hear what was said after that.

Because he seemed somewhat delirious.

Adhering to the principle of assuming she didn't hear anything if she couldn't hear it, she quickly left.

Of course, being a very kind person, she would definitely go and call a doctor.

As for Wang Qingyan's refusal?

She chose to ignore it.

Who knew—

In a daze, Wang Qingyan quickly lost control of her body, but the remaining consciousness in her mind kept reminding her not to let her call for help...

"..." Silently looking at the other hand that was gripping her wrist tightly.

Bai Lize didn't know what to think either.

But with that kind of force, forcibly pulling it would most likely cause a dislocation.

She scratched her forehead, then decided to touch his forehead first. "Ouch..."

I almost got frostbite!

Normally, Wang Qingyan would already be dead.

But he...

He is indeed still breathing.

So Baili Ce lowered his voice and tried again, "Be good, okay? I'm just going to get the doctor, I'll be right back~"

"..."

Ok?

Bai Li Ce moved closer, and this time she heard him clearly.

He said, "Don't go, don't leave me."

In situations like this, leaving would usually result in someone's death.

In any sense.

But she dared not investigate further.

"But you..." What if you really stop breathing in a little while?

Wang Qingyan looked up, her eyes filled with tears, "Please... don't go, don't call anyone..."

"That won't do!" If anything really happens to you, how can I afford to compensate you!

Take a deep breath and exert force!

Since Wang Qingyan was afraid of being left behind, she would take him with her. At worst, they could roll down the mountain together.

Then--

"......"All right.

It was far too heavy, heavier than the three mountains that the Silver Horned King was pressing down on the Great Sage's back and the people's bodies; it was impossible to lift it.

She gave up.

Even the advice of martial arts masters was useless.

Moreover, while Wang Qingyan said he had no strength, he held onto her tightly, making it impossible for her to break free to gather firewood to start a fire for him, or...

There was no other way; a good person like her would never abandon her companions.

It's impossible!

Fortunately, the nights in August are only cool.

Ugh--

Finally, Baili Ce had no choice but to sit down next to him, feeling as if his wrists were about to freeze off.

But with a little force, you can still feel it.

but--

Thinking about what had happened in the past few days, Baili Ce suddenly realized that something had been wrong with him ever since their heart-to-heart talk in the cave.

I can't quite put my finger on what's wrong.

It just felt like... her mind was unusually clear at that moment.

-

This is the last time it will "hibernate".

As the price for controlling the rising sun, he has experienced it countless times.

He originally thought it wouldn't be as serious as before.

But unexpectedly, it happened without warning.

I never expected this...

Baili Ce was pulled by the wrist, turned to the side, and fell asleep against the rock.

She had a handkerchief covering her head to keep out mosquitoes, and her breath was soft and gentle. She lowered her head slightly and rested it on his shoulder.

“…” Wang Qingyan immediately held his breath.

It took a while before he realized that he could breathe.

He couldn't move, but he was fully conscious.

With each breath, the sweet and delicate fragrance seeped through the thin handkerchief, filling his thoughts...

I tried to use my strength, but my hand was still stiff when I grabbed her wrist.

Wang Qingyan felt a little guilty; her wrists would probably be bruised tomorrow.

Fortunately, his body gradually warmed up after a short while.

Otherwise, she should have been woken up by the cold the moment Baili Ce approached.

Gradually, as she slept deeper and deeper, the weight of her body leaning on his shoulder became heavier.

There were many mosquitoes in the mountains, and even though she tried her best to cover her hands and feet with her clothes, her neck and the hands he was holding were still covered with red bites.

And he-

Wang Qingyan's smooth skin had no red spots.

Sure enough, even mosquitoes wouldn't suck the blood of someone like him.

“…” After a while, Wang Qingyan tried again, and his strength gradually returned.

But he didn't immediately let go of Baili Ce's hand; instead...

Through the handkerchief, I placed a kiss on her forehead, as light as a willow catkin drifting by.

He knew that this was very impolite.

But he still wanted to keep a little secret in his heart that belonged only to him.
