This kind of shameless nature is ingrained in his bones and cannot be changed.
So he could only go along with it: "Okay, okay, it's only natural, you can hold me..."
Noticing that she was coughing again, Yu Tang quickly covered her mouth.
He swallowed the stench of blood and suppressed the trembling in his fingers, trying his best not to make any loud noises.
Chu Jiangli asked, "What's wrong?"
Yu Tang shook her head in his arms: "It's nothing, I just choked on the cold wind."
After wiping the blood off her hands with a handkerchief, Yu Tang hugged Chu Jiangli's waist and gave him a good rub, saying, "Alright, I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep. Remember to wake me up when you leave tomorrow."
Chu Jiangli's body stiffened slightly, then gradually relaxed. He hummed in response but remained silent.
No matter how Yu Tang tried to hide it, he could still smell that familiar stench of blood that had been strong for a moment just now.
The fear that had been deliberately ignored once again spread throughout my consciousness.
Feeling the person beside him fall into a deep sleep, Chu Jiangli reached out and stroked Yu Tang's face.
Then, she carefully and tentatively placed a kiss on the man's forehead.
She whispered a promise: "I will definitely find a way to help you get better."
I want you to stay healthy and accompany me through the rest of my life.
The next day, when Yu Tang woke up, he felt a garment draped over his body, and his vision was completely red. Reaching out, he realized that Chu Jiangli had covered his eyes with a red silk cloth to prevent him from being hurt by the sunlight when he woke up.
He wasn't by the river anymore; instead, he was lying on Chu Jiangli's back, being carried steadily by the man with barely any swaying.
"Meow..." The system cat's meowing entered my ears.
Yu Tang turned his head and saw the system cat comfortably lying on the large suitcase Yu Qi was carrying, winking at him.
[Host! Your favorability rating has surpassed 80!]
Yu Tang was stunned for a moment, and was about to reply when Chu Jiangli said, "Divine Doctor? Are you awake?"
"Yes, he's awake." Yu Tang took off the red silk ribbon, reached out to help Chu Jiangli re-tie it, and asked him, "Didn't I tell you to wake me when you woke up? Why didn't you wake me?"
Chu Jiangli's expression tightened, and he said, "I want you to sleep a little longer."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Xiao Han, who was walking beside him, couldn't help but expose him, saying, "Dr. Yu, Brother Chu is clearly making excuses; he actually just wants to hide it from you!"
Wiping the sweat from her forehead, Xiao Han smiled and said, "Last night, not long after you fell asleep, the Protector of Liyue Palace sent someone to deliver a carriage, saying he would escort us back to Liyue Palace. But he sent the person away without saying a word."
Then I held you like that until dawn, and in the morning I carefully picked you up again, carrying you on my back without forgetting to put a coat on you!
Instead of riding in the fine carriage, Xiao Han chose to walk twenty miles. Exhausted and sweating profusely, she harbored a secret desire for "revenge" and thoroughly exposed Chu Jiangli's true colors.
Chu Jiangli froze instantly, and a blush quickly spread from the base of her neck to the tips of her ears.
Yu Tang noticed this and felt both helpless and amused.
He asked Chu Jiangli, "Is that so, A-Li?"
Chu Jiangli didn't want to admit it was because he listened to Yu Qi's words and knew that Yu Qi had hugged and carried Yu Tang many times.
He was like an outsider, only able to listen to the beautiful memories between others and Yu Tang, but unable to do anything about it.
That's why I did something so brainless.
"No..." he stubbornly said, "Don't listen to his nonsense."
"Oh, so you don't want to carry me anymore?" Yu Tang teased him deliberately. "The only reason you've been so accommodating is because I'm weak, and you have no choice but to give in?"
He struggled, saying, "Then just let me down. I can walk by myself. I don't need you to carry me."
Upon hearing this, Chu Jiangli immediately panicked.
She gripped Yu Tang's legs tightly with both hands, preventing him from running away, and said, "No!"
"You can't go down! I am..."
The rest of the conversation was interrupted by a light kiss on the cheek.
The kiss was fleeting.
But you can still feel that warmth and softness brushing against your heart.
On the side away from others, Yu Tang chuckled softly in his ear.
"Silly Ali, I was just teasing you."
Chapter 26
He died for the villain for the sixth time (26)
Yu Tang's words made Chu Jiangli's face turn red all the way from the foot of the mountain to the Li Yue Palace.
Upon arriving at the mountain gate, the appearance of this "punisher" once again frightened the group of Liyue Palace followers.
To be precise, when they saw Chu Jiangli carrying Yu Tang on his back, they were all so shocked that their eyes almost popped out.
But after the initial surprise, he immediately knelt down and shouted, "Welcome back to the palace, Palace Master!"
Remembering the instructions of the two protectors, Nan Yun and Bai Xiao, he called out to Yu Tang, "Welcome to the Divine Physician's presence at Li Yue Palace!"
Several thousand people knelt before the palace gates, shouting such a loud slogan in unison.
Yu Tang was so embarrassed.
Chu Jiangli didn't seem to notice anything amiss, so he simply grunted in response and continued walking forward.
The kneeling believers immediately shifted their knees to make way for the four people and the cat, and watched them enter the Moon Palace while kneeling in worship.
However, when they reached the open door, Chu Jiangli suddenly paused and said, "From today onwards, you shall not call him the Divine Physician."
"Changed to 'Lady of the Palace'."
"If I hear anyone mispronounce a name, they will be punished according to palace rules, understand?"
Yu Tang: ?
Everyone was stunned by these words.
Yu Tang watched as thousands of people froze in shock, standing motionless for a moment before shouting, "Understood!"
After that sentence, they immediately added: "Welcome back to the palace, Palace Master and Palace Master's wife!"
Chu Jiangli smiled with satisfaction and carried Yu Tang through the door.
The scale of the Liyue Palace has become quite large.
Pavilions, towers, palaces, corridors, rockeries, flowing water, and misty pavilions dazzled Yu Tang's eyes.
He thought to himself that the wealth of the Liyue Palace was truly among the best in the martial arts world, comparable to the Sword Forging Manor, which was connected with the imperial court.
After nearly a month of siege, the four evil cults only managed to reach the halfway point of the mountain, without even touching the gates of the Moon Palace.
Yu Tang couldn't help but sigh, Chu Jiangli really hadn't lied to him.
Even if Chu general Li Ren is not in Li Yue Palace, those four evil sects still cannot conquer Li Yue Palace.
As for the reason...
After walking around the palace, Yu Tang also figured it out.
The way the believers here looked at Chu Jiangli was just as intense as how Nan Yun Baixiao looked at him.
They all seemed to be die-hard fans of Chu Jiangli.
That profound admiration didn't seem feigned at all.
Chu Jiangli placed Yu Tang on the large bed in his own bedroom, then knelt by the bedside and looked up at him: "What would you like to eat? I'll have the kitchen prepare it."
Yu Tang tenderly took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from Chu Jiangli's forehead: "Just do something simple. You've carried me for so long, you must be exhausted. Lie down and rest for a while."
“Okay…” Chu Jiangli got up: “Then I’ll take a shower and change my clothes before going to bed.”
At this point, Chu Jiangli paused, then turned to Yu Tang and asked, "You were probably splattered with blood last night, and your clothes are dirty. Should we...?"
He loosely clenched his fist, coughed lightly, and then asked, "Shall we go take a shower together?"
Yu Tang looked at his clothes from side to side and indeed found that they were not very clean.
Noticing Chu Jiangli's somewhat uncomfortable expression, he thought for a moment and replied, "Okay..."
As she spoke, she reached out and tugged at Chu Jiangli's sleeve, asking him, "Then, Ah Li, you'll be responsible for carrying me over, okay?"
Chu Jiangli couldn't stand his request, and coupled with his jealousy of Yu Qi, he immediately bent down, picked up Yu Tang, and strode out.
On the way, he attracted the attention of a group of believers, and Yu Tang got used to the awkwardness.
He could even politely return a smile to the believers.
The natural bath in the Liyue Palace is exclusively for Chu Jiangli.
In the misty bathroom, Yu Tang quickly took off her clothes and soaked in the water, clinging to the edge of the huge pool, watching Chu Jiangli outside the pool with a smug look.
Because Chu Jiangli had just injured his back, he couldn't go into the water yet. So he simply moved a stool to sit by the bath and used a jade ladle to scoop water and pour it over himself.
Then wash it with a damp cloth.
The red silk was removed, and her long hair fell loose. Chu Jiangli closed her eyes, her face flushed pink from the bathroom smoke, her red lips pursed, and she looked beautiful no matter how you looked at her.
Further down, the sight of that lean, muscular physique without an ounce of excess fat made Yu Tang's heart itch inexplicably.
He has feminine features, but his temperament is not effeminate at all. On the contrary, he is so beautiful that he is almost bewitching, making it impossible to look away.
Yu Tang waded through the water to Chu Jiangli's side and poked the man's calf: "Ali, shall I wash your hair in a bit?"
Chu Jiangli paused slightly, his face full of flattery and surprise.
But soon he shook his head: "Forget it, I don't want to tire you out."
Yu Tang remained silent.
How weak did Chu Jiangli think he was?
Is it really tiring to wash his hair?
"Stop worrying about things like that," Yu Tang retorted. "Don't I know my own body? If I can't even wash your hair, what will I be like on our wedding night...?"
Yu Tang blinked twice when her mouth was suddenly covered, and when she looked at Chu Jiangli's face, it turned even redder.
