In her previous life, Ouyang Yue was an invincible figure. She could confidently say that since she was old enough to understand, there was no one she couldn't handle, no event she couldn't stop. Even in her rebirth, though fraught with danger, she always managed to escape unscathed, and she never felt any headaches. But with Baili Chen, every meeting drastically altered his image in her mind. From her savior, a high-ranking prince, to now a rogue she desperately wanted to punish, the transformation was immense. Ouyang Yue felt an overwhelming urge to devour Baili Chen alive.
Baili Chen was taken aback by Ouyang Yue's sudden reaction, but a smile flashed across his eyes. However, the slight pain in his mouth made him whimper, "Mmm... mmm... wife, be gentle... I'm at your mercy... don't rush. Mmm..." Baili Chen even made sounds similar to moans.
"Smack!"
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Yue angrily reached out and slapped Baili Chen on the head: "Shut up!" she said, continuing to ravage Baili Chen's lips.
"Ouch, um~" Baili Chen continued to moan in a very cooperative manner. Although he stopped talking, the groans were incessant and sounded rather suggestive.
Ouyang Yue felt as if she had been doused with cold water. Her face darkened as she slapped her head, only to see Baili Chen looking at her with teary eyes, saying, "Wife~ it hurts so much~" He looked so aggrieved that Ouyang Yue's lips twitched.
Baili Chen's black hair was scattered among the haystacks. His skin was very fair, and the combination of these colors was extremely pleasing to the eye. Moreover, he already had a face that was so handsome that it was considered monstrous. At this moment, his red lips were especially red, which made it clear that he had been tortured by inhuman beings, making him look even more ambiguous.
Ouyang Yue sat quietly for a while, rubbing her head, then turned her back to Baili Chen as she dressed. Baili Chen muttered under his breath, "Why are you turning your back to me? I've already seen your body, there's no need to be shy..."
Ouyang Yue ignored him, and Baili Chen, realizing he was being rude, silently put on his clothes. He watched Ouyang Yue walk out of the cave and followed, but Ouyang Yue turned her head expressionlessly and said, "Don't follow me. I don't want to see you right now."
Baili Chen was slightly stunned. He stood there with his lips slightly pursed, watching Ouyang Yue's figure disappear quickly. After thinking for a moment, he followed after her.
Baili Chen followed Ouyang Yue from a distance. Along the way, Ouyang Yue navigated the various paths with great familiarity and ease. Baili Chen immediately thought of the night before when Ouyang Yue had been running along this path to find water for him. A warm feeling welled up in his heart, and a light smile appeared on his lips as he followed.
Soon, Ouyang Yue walked to a stream, found a rock, and sat down. She had been wearing an undergarment, but she hadn't had time to wash it the day before because she was taking care of Baili Chen. However, in Baili Chen's opinion, Ouyang Yue didn't care what she wore. She didn't tie her hair up. At that moment, a gust of wind blew, lifting Ouyang Yue's silky, glossy, and ink-black hair, making it look like the finest black silk. In Baili Chen's eyes, it was even more beautiful than the clouds in the sky.
Ouyang Yue ignored her disheveled hair, letting it be blown about, tracing beautiful arcs in the air. After some time, she tilted her head back slightly, seemingly sighing helplessly. Then, resting her chin on her hand, she squinted at the tranquil lake, lost in thought, and simply said with a sigh, "Am I left with no choice but to borrow his seed?"
With her lips slightly pursed, she thought Baili Chen was simply too shameless, so shameless that she was helpless. She had never had any feelings for someone like Baili Chen, and in fact, she was someone who would only go as far as possible with multiple partners. She didn't want to get involved with such a person and suffer endless trouble. However, it wasn't that she was too picky. Actually, even if Ouyang Su hadn't said anything, Ouyang Yue didn't want to wrong herself too much. She couldn't just find someone so ugly that she would cry and borrow a sperm, could she? Besides, she was still a virgin, and if she found someone too poor, she would be betraying her first time, wouldn't she? But finding someone too good would cause trouble, which was why she hadn't even considered it at first. Anyway, she felt that since Ouyang Su was by her side, she didn't need to think too much about it; it was just a matter of time. She could think about it later when she met someone she liked.
Now that Su'er has gone back, she can't see her for a while and naturally misses her, but she can't just look for anyone. At the very least, she has to live up to Su'er's worries and Su'er's requests, making the choice even more difficult, but she hasn't even considered Baili Chen.
But who knew that so much would happen between her and Baili Chen, to the point that they were already inextricably linked, and the inexplicable annoyance she felt whenever she thought of Baili Chen gave her a headache. Could it be that Baili Chen was her final choice? But if he stole a royal heir and ran away, the latter would be in serious trouble.
Ouyang Yue rested her chin on her hand, her face full of irritation.
Just now, in her anger and frustration towards Baili Chen, she was actually somewhat desperate. She considered taking advantage of the situation to conceive with him right there and then, but she ultimately restrained herself. Even if she fled as soon as they left Tianshan, it wouldn't be easy to do so without anyone noticing. The influence of the royal family in this era was absolutely not to be underestimated, and she didn't want Su'er to live a life of constant wandering and hiding from people. The thought of it made her feel guilty towards Su'er. But the royal family... she hated trouble.
Ouyang Yue sighed and shook her head slightly. "Bai Lichen really won't do. At the very least, it has to be a playboy like Leng Caiwen, someone decent-looking and intelligent, who won't care much about you, and won't mind if you run away with her pregnant. But Leng Caiwen and Bai Lichen are such good friends, so he can't be that kind of person. We'll just look for someone like him." Ouyang Yue nodded slightly, feeling a little relieved after thinking this.
Baili Chenli was somewhat confused by Ouyang Yue. He seemed to hear Ouyang Yue muttering something, but he couldn't hear what she was saying.
Just then, a rustling sound came from beside him. Bai Shichen turned around sharply and saw the Wolf King leading a line of wolf subjects walking gracefully over. Bai Shichen raised an eyebrow slightly: "What a coincidence."
The wolf king and his wolf cubs were carrying pheasants and ducks that were flapping their wings and flying around. They were looking at Ouyang Yue, clearly wanting her to help them roast the animals for them. Baili Chen looked at the wolf king but shook his head: "My wife is in a bad mood right now. Let's talk about it when she's in a better mood."
The wolf king, seemingly oblivious to what was being said, gave Baili Chen a strange look. Baili Chen, startled, asked in confusion, "You're saying I'm useless?!"
The wolf king made several strange noises in a language incomprehensible to humans, nodded slightly, and once again displayed a human-like expression in its eyes. Baili Chen felt that look was contempt, contempt for him, as if to say, "You're the one who made me angry! You can't even yell at your wife properly, you're truly useless, and you've delayed our meal, you're utterly wicked." Before Baili Chen could fully process this, the wolf pack behind him began to howl softly, seemingly echoing the wolf king's words.
Baili Chen said with a dark face, "Even if I'm useless, I don't need a beast like you to look down on me."
The wolf king didn't react to Baili Chen's curses. They were animals, beasts, and there was no business in it. The wolf king let out another low howl, its expression seemingly saying, "How about I teach you?" Baili Chen's face darkened. At this moment, the wolf queen had already gracefully walked to the front. The wolf king immediately leaned over, and the two wolf heads began to rub against each other, showing a friendly and affectionate manner, which made Baili Chen's eyes burn with desire.
Are you kidding me? Would he really need two beasts to teach him how to woo someone? However, Baili Chen didn't dare to easily lose his temper. If he injured one of the wolves, his chances of leaving Tianshan safely were slim. Anyway, they were just beasts; how could they understand his situation? Did they really think human emotions were as simple as animal emotions? Hmph, he didn't need these animals' pity or contempt. But looking at Ouyang Yue sitting in the distance, Baili Chen felt a sense of powerlessness.
He always felt that every time he was about to get close to his wife, just a hair's breadth away, she would always turn away at the crucial moment. He somewhat resented his wife for being so rational. If only she could be attracted to him like a normal woman, and just pounce on him, how wonderful that would be. But then she wouldn't be his wife, and he wouldn't like her. So he could only keep these feelings bottled up inside and sulk.
"Woo woo..." At this moment, the wolf king also walked over, looking at Ouyang Yue from afar, and then at Baili Chen, his eyes seemed to say, "If it doesn't work, let them go. Who knows when Baili Chen will be able to persuade that woman? They're starving."
Baili Chen was being ridiculed, but when he saw something, his eyes lit up. He looked at the wolf king and mocked, "As the high and mighty wolf king, why does it seem like you're missing a tuft of hair on your head? It doesn't seem like you were born that way. How did it fall out? Don't tell me it was done by your pack members. As the noble wolf king, they probably wouldn't dare to touch you."
The wolf king howled in anger at Baili Chen's guess, but Baili Chen laughed and said, "I think it was the mother wolf who did it. Did you get punished for being a womanizer?"
"Awoo, awoo." The wolf king continued to protest. Baili Chen couldn't understand what it was saying, but he could imagine it to some extent. He said, "Hmph, then don't laugh at me. We're both equally bad. Who's laughing at whom?"
The wolf king opened its mouth and let out a sigh that sounded almost like a human's. Then its legs went weak and it collapsed to the ground, its head flicking slightly backward before quickly pulling back, as if it were terrified of someone behind it. Baili Chen also sighed and muttered, "You're alright. You've already won over your woman, so it's fine if you throw a tantrum now. But I haven't even won you over yet, and you're already this temperamental. What will you do when you actually marry me? You'll be lawless!"
"Oh? So that's what you're worried about. I'm so sorry to have troubled you. But don't worry, that possibility is nonexistent." Ouyang Yue's voice suddenly came from beside him. Baili Chen was startled and looked up sharply to see Ouyang Yue's ambiguous smile. His heart skipped a beat. "Wife, please let me explain! That's not what I meant! Of course, I'm overjoyed that you married me..."
Ouyang Yue turned and strode up to the wolf king: "Let's go, I'm hungry too. Would you mind sharing some food with me?"
The wolf queen had already given a "howl" in agreement. She seemed to really like Ouyang Yue. She walked gracefully to Ouyang Yue, circled around her, and wagged her tail slightly. Ouyang Yue smiled and extended her hand. The wolf queen also extended her front paw, and the two shook hands. Ouyang Yue smiled at the wolf king and said, "Let's go and find a place to make a fire and roast."
Having said that, Ouyang Yue swaggered away with her pack of wolves. Baili Chen, however, looked utterly miserable, cursing the wolves countless times in his heart. Otherwise, his wife wouldn't have misunderstood. Now, the misunderstanding was huge. Did his wife think he didn't want to take responsibility? On the contrary, he desperately wanted to. Baili Chen pondered deeply. Had he overacted before, making it seem unreal? His eyes darkened slightly. He had plenty of ways; he would do anything to successfully marry his wife.
Baili Chen immediately strode over. After Ouyang Yue finished roasting the meat for the pack of wolves and one wolf that was watching her, the two of them headed up the Heavenly Path. According to Master Minghui, the Heavenly Snow Lotus should be on the mountaintop. Although the Heavenly Mountain appears to be towering into the clouds with no end in sight, it should actually be nearly a thousand meters high. Ouyang Yue did not plan to go up directly, as she was afraid they would not be able to endure it. She just wanted to walk for a while first to scout out the path.
After exchanging a few subtle signals, the two returned. Two days later, having packed up and adjusted their mental state to its best, they headed towards the top of Tianshan Mountain. Ouyang Yue had climbed mountains before in her previous life, but back then she was much better prepared with cotton clothes, water, and other supplies, making her much better equipped than she was now. Although the two had made some preparations when they entered, after several days of struggling in Tianshan, they could only take it one step at a time, figuring things couldn't be worse than they were now.
However, the higher they climbed, the colder it became. This wasn't a problem for Baili Chen, as he possessed a cold poison that gave him good resistance to the cold. Although Ouyang Yue had a strong will, her body couldn't necessarily withstand it. The two of them had only gone halfway up the mountain before they had no choice but to turn back.
After another day of searching without making it up the mountain, the wolf king and the others were again having Ouyang Yue roast their prey when the two were talking. Suddenly, the wolf king paused and howled at them a few times, asking, "What are you going to show us?"
The Wolf King nodded, and Ouyang Yue and Baili Chen immediately followed. Soon they arrived at a mountain peak with the Wolf King. The two then followed the Wolf King over the mountain. They paid no attention to their surroundings along the way, but they were stunned by what they saw before them: a sea of flowers, vibrant in color and diverse in pattern, a truly beautiful sight. The two exchanged a glance. Could the Heavenly Snow Lotus be here?
However, the Wolf King had already bypassed the sea of flowers on the other side and continued forward. Ouyang Yue and Baili Chen naturally followed. After walking for a while, they crossed the sea of flowers and then came into view a spring. White steam was constantly rising from the spring. However, this white steam was obviously not a hot spring, because there was a layer of light white stuff on the surface of the spring, which was a layer of frost. This was a cold spring.
Ouyang Yue was taken aback: "Could it be that the Tian Shan Snow Lotus is hidden here?"
The wolf king nodded at Ouyang Yue, who was stunned. This was something no one had expected. They had always thought that such a precious thing as the Tianshan Snow Lotus should be found at the highest point of Tianshan to highlight its nobility. This was a misconception of humankind.
A glint of light flashed in Baili Chen's eyes: "I'll go down and take a look."
Ouyang Yue nodded. Baili Chen, without taking off anything, jumped into the icy spring with a "plop," but didn't come up for a long time. Ouyang Yue was worried that he was too cold to get up when suddenly a "splash" sound rang out from the water. Ouyang Yue immediately asked, "Are you alright? How is it down there? Are there any Tian Shan snow lotuses?"

But seeing Baili Chen's pale face, Ouyang Yue immediately said, "Quick, let me pull you up first."
Baili Chen nodded slightly and reached out his hand. Ouyang Yue immediately pulled him up, using all her strength to lift him out of the water with a "plop." She then quickly took off her clothes and covered Baili Chen with them. She began to massage Baili Chen's limbs to warm them up. At the same time, she noticed that Baili Chen's body was frozen stiff by the cold water. He had probably been down there for so long because he was too cold to swim. If he had stayed any longer, his life would have been in danger.
Baili Chen coughed violently: "It...it should be when the cold...poison takes effect...cough cough, then you won't feel cold anymore..."
Ouyang Yue glanced at him sideways and said to the Wolf King, "Thank you. This guy is weak right now. I'll take him away first and come find you later."
The Wolf King nodded slightly. Ouyang Yue had already helped Baili Chen up and was walking towards the cave. First, she threw Baili Chen onto the dry grass, then started a fire. Ouyang Yue had taken the time to wash both of their clothes over the past two days, and she had laid out an outer garment, so it didn't feel too rough. Ouyang Yue immediately pulled open Baili Chen's clothes. Anyway, it wasn't the first time, and both Ouyang Yue and Baili Chen's reactions were normal. She peeled off the wound and saw that it was healing very well. It would probably be fully healed soon, and there shouldn't be any major problems.
"It seems the temperature of this icy pool is terrifying." Baili Chen's body has only recovered a little, and his snow-white face has only regained some color. Ouyang Yue frowned slightly as she spoke.
"Ahem, it's nothing serious, I can still go down." Baili Chen immediately changed the subject, saying, "There are indeed Tianshan Snow Lotuses down there, but according to the books I've read, they shouldn't be fully open yet, and we'll need to wait a while longer."
"There really are Tian Shan snow lotuses down there?!" Ouyang Yue was also taken aback. The book said that Tian Shan snow lotuses grew at the highest point of the Tian Shan Mountains, where the snow never melted, giving them their unique medicinal properties and peculiarities. While the book's claims about their effects of rejuvenation, immortality, and yin-yang balance were exaggerated, this thing must certainly have significant medicinal value. Ouyang Yue's eyes narrowed slightly, lost in thought.
Seeing her like this, Baili Chen immediately said, "Cough cough, I was just caught off guard. Once I feel better, it won't be a problem for me to go down into that cold pool again. You don't have any cold poison in your body, so you can't withstand the cold down there at all, cough cough, you know?"
Ouyang Yue glared at Baili Chen: "Alright, look at you, you still have the mind to worry about other things. Lie down and rest. You're lucky to be alive. If your wound gets infected and your fever doesn't go down, I'll see if I can find a way to bring it down this time. Go to sleep."
Baili Chen glanced at Ouyang Yue but didn't move. The latter almost rolled her eyes again and said impatiently, "Alright, I know. I won't go over there casually. You should rest."
Baili Chen looked at Ouyang Yue intently. Seeing that her eyes were clear and her expression serious, and that she didn't seem to be lying, he nodded slightly, leaned back, and fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes. He was clearly exhausted.
Ouyang Yue fell into deep thought. In fact, given her status in her previous life, she would have had the opportunity to see the Tianshan Snow Lotus. However, she was busy with official duties every day and rarely had the chance to see the Tianshan Snow Lotus, which she had only heard of and never seen. She also rarely had the opportunity to come into contact with that place in her cases. As a result, she kept putting it off. However, she did collect a lot of information about the Tianshan Snow Lotus for this matter. Although it is very precious in modern times, it is not unique. She became interested in the legendary Tianshan Snow Lotus that was so widely known in Langya Continent.
Ouyang Yue stayed by Baili Chen's side for a while and found that he showed no signs of fever or chills. Only then did she stand up and go to the edge of the cold pool. She did not rush into the pool, but instead did some warm-up exercises at the edge of the pool and tried many ways to warm herself up. After taking off her outer clothes and taking a deep breath, she jumped into the cold pool. As soon as she entered the cold pool, Ouyang Yue felt a chill rush into her body from her feet. Her hands and feet were a little stiff. But now was not the time to be stiff. She gritted her teeth and forced herself to move, slowly swimming down to the bottom of the pool.
But it's easy to think about, but very difficult to actually do. She didn't know how long she had been swimming, and even someone as determined as Ouyang Yue was about to give up, when she was suddenly attracted by something that was faintly emitting a white light in the distance. She couldn't help but swim faster and hurried forward.
"It really is a snow lotus from Tianshan Mountain," Ouyang Yue couldn't help but exclaim in her heart.
The Tianshan Snow Lotus is a plant belonging to the Asteraceae family. Its exterior is lotus-shaped, but its entire body is pure white, without a single impurity. Each flower is broken into strips of pure white paper, yet it emits a translucent light like that of a white jade bracelet. It is extremely beautiful and pure, but you can tell at a glance that this thing is no ordinary object. It is also slightly different from the Tianshan Snow Lotus that she knew and collected in her previous life. Its medicinal effects are obviously more outstanding. No wonder the Langya Continent can pass down the special ability of this plant to reverse aging and achieve immortality. She believed it just by looking at it.
However, just as Baili Chen said, this thing was clearly not fully grown yet. Although the petals had already shown their beauty, they were not fully open. The Tianshan Snow Lotus grows very slowly. According to the unofficial history of Langya Continent, it takes at least a hundred years for this thing to grow. Judging from its current state of being mostly open, it will probably take more than a year. But seeing that the previous difficulties of the Tianshan Snow Lotus did not seem so difficult, Ouyang Yue was overjoyed. She felt a little stiff and immediately swam towards the cold pool.
Inside the cave, Baili Chen felt he hadn't slept soundly or peacefully. He slowly opened his eyes and immediately looked for Ouyang Yue, but after searching around, he found she wasn't there at all. His heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he muttered, "That damned woman, tell her not to go there so easily." After cursing, he looked tense, ripped off his clothes, jumped up, and rushed out of the cave towards the cold pool.
Upon arriving at the icy pool, they found it deserted. A garment lay on the bank—whose was it but Ouyang Yue's outer robe? Ouyang Yue had indeed gone into the pool. Baili Chen's face darkened instantly. Just as he was about to take off his clothes and jump out, "Splash!" a person emerged from the water. Without even looking closely, Baili Chen reached out and pulled the person into his arms. Then, with a sudden slap, he struck the person's shapely buttocks: "You disobedient woman, how dare you be so bold! You must be punished!"
As soon as Ouyang Yue poked her head out, she was pulled up by a strong force. Just as she was about to resist, she saw Baili Chen and stopped. But then he suddenly slapped her butt. Ouyang Yue's face darkened and she shouted, "What are you doing!"
Baili Chen said with a serious expression, "I'm punishing you. Do you know how cold it is down there? If you're not careful, you might freeze and not be able to get out. Do you think you're made of iron? How dare you just go down like that? What if something happens?" Baili Chen's voice was very stern. Ouyang Yue was dissatisfied, but she just snorted coldly. She wasn't so ungrateful as to not appreciate his kindness.
But she didn't speak. Baili Chen stared at her coldly, as if waiting for her to reply. Ouyang Yue had no choice but to say, "I know. I was just curious. Besides, I'm fine. You're worrying too much."
Baili Chen gritted his teeth and tightened his arms, trapping Ouyang Yue in his embrace: "What if something happens to you? Where will you find another wife who looks exactly like me? I'll turn the world upside down and drag you out to spank you."
Ouyang Yue's lips twitched slightly. Looking at Baili Chen's cold eyes filled with malice, she naturally knew that this guy meant what he said and had been waiting for her answer. If she didn't answer, he might just beat her up right there. Thinking of how humiliating it was to be beaten up before, Ouyang Yue could only purse her lips and say, "I know. Why are you so annoying, man? We haven't gotten to that point yet."
Baili Chen frowned: "You want to deny it? You clearly forced me."
"Force you my foot!" Ouyang Yue angrily slapped his head, and the latter muttered, "If I hit you a few more times, I'll make you stupid, and then you'll want me even less."
Ouyang Yue glanced at the shameless man, speechless. Baili Chen took Ouyang Yue's small hand and gently rubbed it to warm it up: "Wife, let's go back and warm up quickly, otherwise you'll catch a cold."
Ouyang Yue agreed with this point, so she didn't object and was pulled back to the cave by Baili Chen. But as soon as they got back to the cave, Baili Chen immediately started undressing. Ouyang Yue's eyes twitched, and she immediately shouted, "What are you doing? Stop it!"
Baili Chen turned his head in confusion and said, "What's wrong, my wife? Why did you tell me to stop? You just went down into that dangerous place, the icy pool. I suspect that the cold has entered your body. The best way to relieve the cold is to warm you with my body heat. Isn't this a brilliant idea you came up with? What's wrong with you, my wife...?"
Ouyang Yue said with a dark face, "I'm not cold, I don't need to. You don't need to take off your clothes. I'll just lie down for a while."
Baili Chen shook his head firmly and said, "No, my wife's method is excellent. It can suppress the cold poison in my body, which is even more powerful than the cold pool water. So this method of warming yourself with your body is excellent. My wife, please don't say any more. Let your husband warm you up."
Ouyang Yue's face was so dark it looked like ink could drip from it: "I told you not to call me 'wife,' and you're not my future husband, so don't talk nonsense! Once we leave Tianshan, we'll go our separate ways."
Baili Chen sighed, "Alright, when we leave, we'll go our separate ways, but here in the Tianshan Mountains, we'll still be companions. Now that my wife has suffered so much, I naturally want to help. This is also the result of your selflessness last time, so please don't refuse. Look how cold your hands and feet are, come on."
Ouyang Yue refused, saying, "I said I don't need it, and besides, I don't believe you're so easy to talk to." She knew all too well how shameless this guy was; would he really be so easy to talk to? That would be a miracle.
Baili Chen pulled Ouyang Yue over and said, "Okay, my wife, I don't need it. Just consider it another favor I owe you. I asked you to warm me up because I was so cold. My wife is the kindest person. You saved my life. I am so grateful to you."
He quickly stripped Ouyang Yue of her clothes. Ouyang Yue, furious, slapped Baili Chen's handsome face, leaving a red five-finger mark. However, Baili Chen didn't care at all and continued to restrain Ouyang Yue's hands as he undressed her. The latter trembled with anger. This was coercion, this was forced rape. She had never been forced into her dictionary.
However, after taking off Ouyang Yue's clothes, Baili Chen did nothing but hold her in his arms, his large, strong hands stroking her back. But it wasn't teasing; he simply used his rubbing power to warm Ouyang Yue's body. Sure enough, after a while, Ouyang Yue felt much of the chill spreading through her body. She knew that Baili Chen was genuinely doing this for her. Even though she was extremely dissatisfied with Baili Chen forcing her, and with the two unmarried people so naked and pressed tightly together, for her own safety, she closed her eyes and pretended it was a dream, something she would forget when she woke up.
Baili Chen felt Ouyang Yue gradually calm down, then lean obediently into his arms. A smile played on his lips as he felt her small, albeit slightly exposed, breasts gently pressing against his chest. He felt a surge of desire, his heart pounding wildly. He sighed helplessly, muttering to himself, "Honestly, if it weren't for my wife's strong will, and if I weren't worried about future troubles after marriage, I wouldn't be able to resist her soft, fragrant body at all." He swallowed hard, inhaling the faint, alluring fragrance emanating from Ouyang Yue's body.
His lips slowly moved closer, but at that moment Ouyang Yue suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Baili Chen with some displeasure. Baili Chen immediately pursed his lips and smiled: "So my wife is still awake. Go to sleep. The temperature at the bottom of that cold pool is incredibly low. Even if you are strong, you still need to rest to regain your warmth. I'm here, so don't worry, my wife."
"I'm only at ease because of you," Ouyang Yue snorted coldly.
Baili Chen knew perfectly well what Ouyang Yue meant by that look, but he pretended not to know and laughed, "My wife, please don't be stubborn. I won't do anything. Besides, with your abilities, even if I did something, my life would be in danger. Although I'm thinking about you all the time, I don't want you to hate me. That wouldn't do me any good."
"Hmph! You're smart enough to know your place." Ouyang Yue finally spoke. Actually, Ouyang Yue was indeed quite tired. Although the exercise at the bottom of the cold pool wasn't very strenuous, it took willpower to get up. The physical fatigue was far more severe than the physical exhaustion. She was just forcing herself to keep going. So when Baili Chen said that, she stopped arguing. She closed her eyes, and soon her breaths became soft and even. She naturally found a comfortable position and her arms unconsciously wrapped around Baili Chen's waist.
Bai Lichen was taken aback, but the next moment a sly smile appeared on his lips. Had his wife gotten used to him being around? Otherwise, given her guarded and prickly nature, she wouldn't have been so easily trusted by him. Sure enough, being a little shameless was fine; making his wife believe him was the most important thing.
Perhaps Baili Chen was right. After leaving the capital, the two of them encountered many twists and turns and hardships together. Baili Chen risked his life to save Ouyang Yue time and time again. This life-saving grace alone could not be compared with that of others. The two of them had spent so much time together in the Tianshan Mountains. No matter how wary Ouyang Yue was, she was not a cold-blooded animal. How could she not feel anything? It was only natural that she would be a little friendly to him, a little trusting, and a little unconsciously dependent on him.
Baili Chen was overjoyed. Holding Ouyang Yue, he couldn't resist giving her a hard kiss on the forehead, secretly thinking, "When my wife is a few years older, I'll definitely teach her a lesson. It won't be as simple as a few spanks then, hmph!" He was still pursuing his wife, so he had to endure it, even if he was angry. If this little woman dared to act so recklessly in the future, he had plenty of ways to make her obey. A strange smile played on Baili Chen's lips, his expression clearly malicious, his eyes gleaming with some unknown 'lewd' light—he was practically possessed by a lecher. Fortunately, Ouyang Yue was asleep. If she saw him, she would definitely beat Baili Chen to a pulp. No woman should be as shameless and unreserved as Baili Chen…
"Come and eat."
