Chu Jiao quietly sank to the bottom of the pond, holding her breath.

Though she had no strength to face against such a trained opponent, she wasnt going to just idly sit there and wait for death. Upon entering the gully, she had done a quick observation and found that there were ten hot spring pools in the area, all dispersed with differing sizes, and though they were separated by large rugged mountain rocks, the bottom of the pools were all connected to each other.

Fortunately, she was adept at swimming. Upon hearing the sounds of fighting, she immediately sank down to the bottom of the pool, and when she felt that Hui Yi was on the verge of losing, she slowly started to swim to another pool, hiding behind a bundle of reed to allow herself to get some air.

And right now, above the surface, Ke Qier frantically looked around but couldnt find a shadow of Chu Jiao, so she shifted her gaze onto the ponds.

Its such a huge place, little beauty. Why dont you come out obediently Ke Qier threatened, If you make me find you, Ill make sure youll suffer even more

Chu Jiao plainly rolled her eyes under the water.

Talk, continue talking. This clueless girl probably doesnt know of the certain condition of why villains often die. It was because they talked too much.

However, she was certainly running out of air, so she carefully floated back up to the surface for breath but didnt expect to be quickly caught by Ke Qier, who had already reached this area.

.. This damned luck of hers.

Hehe, Ke Qier immediately drew close, finally getting a full view of Chu Jiaos face, As expected, what a pretty face. Its no wonder you were able to charm the Khan so deeply that he went as far as to cast the princess aside just to protect you Its a pity that the princess is now left at that place all alone, tsk tsk

Chu Jiao was itching to reply: Im the pitiful princess that you speak of.

However, she painfully held back the urge to say this as she didnt want her death to come earlier.

I really want to see what the Khan is willing to sacrifice in exchange for you later on. Ke Qier started to excitedly scheme in her heart.

Once she was caught, Chu Jiao finally couldnt hold herself back from screaming loudly, Hu Luoyan! If you dont come back right now, you wont have a wife anymore!!!

In a moment of extreme desperation, she accidentally mixed modern words into her speech.

Fortunately, even though a certain man had arrived late to the party, these words still struck him in the gut.

A sharp arrow sliced through the air, brutally penetrating Ke Qiers knee, making her loosen her hold on Chu Jiao as she weakly fell to the ground.

Immediately, the man took Chu Jiao into his arms, My apologies, dear wife. I arrived late.

Chu Jiao heaved a breath of relief, playfully pushing the man away and making him take a step aside as her mouth spoke of complaints, Youre so slow!

Hu Luoyan obediently lowered his head and admitted his wrongdoings, Its all due to my negligence, please dont be mad. Lets dry you up first so that you wont catch a cold.

At this moment, Ke Qiers eyes grew wild. Never in her life did she expect to see the always aloof and ruthless Khan to act so lowly in front of a mere woman!

What are you looking at! With a powerful support behind her, Chu Jiao felt completely at ease and finally sized this assassin up, This time, I want to see what your master would be willing to sacrifice in exchange for you.

Pooh! Ke Qier angrily spat out a mouth of blood, Why dont you just give up on that thought. My master simply doesnt care about an insignificant thing like me, so why dont you just kill me!

Thats not necessarily true.

Hu Luoyan started to speak at this time.

He knew that there were many wandering eyes in the palace, including this Ke Qier. After failing to approach him, she immediately climbed into his brothers bed. He originally wanted to deal with her as soon as possible, but that brat, Ah Hui, said that he had seen the third prince look for this woman several times out of his own volition, so she might perhaps still prove to be of some use, which was why he had left her unscathed up until now.

But now that it had come to this situation, it was time to put her meddling master back in his place.

Hu Luoyan bound Ke Qier securely to a solid tree, then he carried Chu Jiao back into the cabin not too far away from there, preparing to rest for the night and return to the palace the next day.

Upon lying on the bed, Chu Jiaos drowsiness soon started to wash over her consciousness when a ray of light suddenly flashed in her head.

Hey, Beardie, She tilted her head in curiosity, looking at the man lying beside her, Do you know what wife means?

She knew that she had transmigrated into this world with her memories still intact, but at the same time, she could sense that the male leads in every world had also lived through the characters whole experience and did not replace the bodies souls like she did.

Then, why was it that a completely indigenous ancient person was able to respond to an unfamiliar word she had uttered out carelessly?

Hu Luoyans heart thumped, knowing that this witty girl was starting to harbor suspicions.

Doesnt it mean madame? Hu Luoyan opened his eyes, hugging the girl and casually pressing his lips close to hers, saying, I thought this was a pet name Ah Jiao gave me

After saying this, he then kissed the girl, his big tongue hooking around hers while his two hands endlessly igniting fires around her body.

Mmhhh You.. Chu Jiao was so distracted that she was unable to follow up with more questions, quickly becoming immersed in the heat of the moment and forgetting about the matter completely.

Hu Luoyan heaved a breath of relief on the inside.

There was still one more world left. If he gave up now, his efforts wouldve all gone down the drain.
