Cheng Ying's mind went blank; she didn't know how to make up a story.

Yang Guo pulled the cloak over and draped it over himself.

"You heartless little brat. Last night you were asleep while your cousin was shivering from the cold. I kindly shared my cloak with her and spent half the night freezing. And what do you do? Get up and interrogate me first."

Lu Wushuang pouted.

"I wasn't interrogating you, I was just asking. You seem quite concerned about your cousin."

Lu Wushuang's words were tinged with sourness.

Yang Guo leaned over and pinched Lu Wushuang's waist.

"I'm just worried she'll freeze and delay our journey today. Besides, she's your cousin; I can't just watch her freeze to death in the temple."

Lu Wushuang cried out softly as Yang Guo pinched her hand and slapped it away.

"Stop fooling around, your cousin is still here."

Cheng Ying sat beside them, listening to the two flirting, and felt layers of humiliation rising in her heart.

Yang Guo was a complete scoundrel.

He took advantage of her and then expected her to cover up his lies.

She stood up to pack her book box.

My legs felt a little weak when I walked; this was a lingering effect of the Qiankun Technique's true energy from last night and Yang Guo's teasing earlier.

Lu Wushuang had sharp eyes and immediately noticed that Cheng Ying's walking posture was incorrect.

"Cousin, what happened to your leg? Why do you seem unsteady when you walk?"

Cheng Ying stopped and turned her back to Lu Wushuang.

"My legs are a little numb from sitting all night."

Lu Wushuang walked up to Cheng Ying and looked her up and down, her eyes darting around.

"Cousin, why are the buttons on your shirt buttoned wrong?"

Cheng Ying looked down and realized that in her panic, she had pulled her clothes tighter and the top button had gone into the bottom hole.

Her face flushed red again.

"I wasn't paying attention when I was tidying up my clothes."

Cheng Ying quickly unbuttoned and re-buttoned her clothes.

Lu Wushuang turned her head to look at Yang Guo.

"Husband, did you really only give half of the cloak to my cousin last night?"

Yang Guo stood up and patted the dry grass off his body.

"Otherwise what? If you don't believe me, ask your cousin. I didn't move an inch last night and slept perfectly all night."

Yang Guo passed the buck to Cheng Ying.

Cheng Ying had her back to them, her fingers digging tightly into the wooden edge of the book box.

"Wushuang, don't worry. Brother Yang was indeed well-behaved last night; he didn't do anything."

When Cheng Ying said those words, her heart was bleeding.

Lu Wushuang walked over and took Yang Guo's arm.

"I was just asking casually. My husband is the best to me."

Yang Guo touched Lu Wushuang's hair.

"Alright, stop being so lovey-dovey, let's pack our things and get going."

The three of them packed up and left the dilapidated temple.

The mountain roads outside are muddy and difficult to walk on.

Yang Guo led the horse in front, Lu Wushuang walked in the middle, and Cheng Ying followed at the back with her book box on her back.

It rained all night last night, and the roads are all muddy.

Yang Guo didn't let Lu Wushuang ride a horse because the road was too slippery and the horse's hooves could easily slip and cause her to fall.

After walking for a while, Lu Wushuang stopped.

"My husband, my legs are sore, I can't walk anymore."

Yang Guo turned around.

"You've only walked a short distance, and you can't walk anymore?"

"You tormented me for so long last night, I have no energy left today," Lu Wushuang complained, but her voice was sweet and coquettish.

Cheng Ying heard it all clearly from behind, and her cheeks flushed.

Yang Guo walked up to Lu Wushuang and squatted down.

"Get on, I'll carry you."

Lu Wushuang happily climbed onto Yang Guo's back, wrapped her arms around his neck, and wrapped her legs around his waist.

Yang Guo carried Lu Wushuang on his back and led the horse forward with one hand.

Lu Wushuang was restless on Yang Guo's back, twisting and turning.

"Don't move around. The road is slippery, I won't be responsible if you fall." Yang Guo patted Lu Wushuang's thigh.

Lu Wushuang pressed her face against Yang Guo's cheek.

"Husband, if you carry me on your back while my cousin walks by herself, won't she be angry?"

Yang Guo did not turn around.

"She has hands and feet, why is she angry?"

Cheng Ying followed behind, watching the two people in front of her being affectionate.

Yang Guo's back.

Last night, she pressed her arm against that back to keep warm.

That spot is now occupied by Lu Wushuang.

Cheng Ying shook her head, trying to banish these chaotic thoughts from her mind.

She must stay clear-headed. Once she reaches Xiangyang, everything will be settled.

The three walked for a whole morning and finally crossed the mountain, where the road surface gradually became dry and hard.

Yang Guo put Lu Wushuang down.

"The road ahead is better, let's ride our horses."

Yang Guo mounted his horse and pulled Lu Wushuang up with him. The two rode together on one horse, just like always.

Lu Wushuang leaned against Yang Guo's chest, her legs dangling over the side of the horse.

Cheng Ying followed behind the horse.

After walking for half an hour, Yang Guo looked back.

Cheng Ying lagged behind by about ten feet, her steps already becoming somewhat sluggish.

Yang Guo reined in his horse and waited for her to catch up.

"Miss Cheng, at this rate, by the time you get to Xiangyang, the daylily will be too cold."

Cheng Ying's forehead was covered in sweat, but she refused to back down.

"No need for Brother Yang to worry."

Yang Guo thought for a moment.

"There's a town ahead; I'll buy you a horse. Keep walking like this is slowing you down."

Just as Cheng Ying was about to refuse, Lu Wushuang peeked out from Yang Guo's arms.

"Cousin, don't push yourself. You've been walking all morning, and your shoes are soaked. Let my husband buy you a horse, and we can ride faster to Xiangyang sooner."

The name Xiangyang struck a nerve with Cheng Ying.

The sooner we arrive in Xiangyang, the sooner we will see our senior sister and Master Guo.

"Alright, we'll buy the horse when we get to town. I'll pay for it myself," Cheng Ying conceded.
