After marrying the fierce god, her handsome young husband was pampered to the extreme.

Yin Cheng appeared calm and collected on the surface, but inside he was ecstatic.

"It's alright."

Lin Nian suddenly exclaimed, "Oh dear!" and said, "We just went out to play like this without telling our families. Won't they worry about us?"

"No." Yin Cheng dismounted and was about to reach out to help his wife down when she stepped down from the stirrups herself.

Yin Cheng's breath hitched. "When did you learn that?"

Lin Nian said, "It's just dismounting, it's not difficult." He couldn't help but sigh. Just how weak and frail he seemed in men's eyes!

He was always being hugged and carried by men at home, and he almost began to wonder if he had some kind of illness.

He looked down at his legs.

Yin Cheng asked, puzzled, "What are you looking at?"

Lin Nian pointed to her leg, "Husband, look."

Yin Cheng saw through the surface to the essence. "Hmm, very white, very straightforward." He paused, and it was unclear where his thoughts were going. "Quite energetic."

Lin Nian's face flushed. "Of course I have the strength. I mean, my legs are fine. I can walk by myself. You don't always have to carry me."

"Oh." Yin Cheng was extremely embarrassed. My beautiful wife is so big, can't I really hug her?

Seeing the man's pitiful look, Lin Nian's heart softened immediately. "It's not that I don't want you to hug me..."

Yin Cheng looked up, making a very sad gesture.

He was originally a handsome young man, but he acted as if he had suffered a broken heart, making him look extremely pitiful.

Lin Nian couldn't stand this, and immediately indulged the man without any limits, saying, "Hug me if you want."

Yin Cheng was happily holding his wife in his arms when he suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Niannian, you're hiding something from me."

Lin Nian said, "No way."

Yin Cheng, for some unknown reason, concluded, "You've changed your mind?"

Lin Nian was shocked. "I didn't!"

"Why did you suddenly stop letting me hug you?" Yin Cheng said. "Wife, something's wrong with you."

Lin Nian took the man's hand and said, "I just feel... I'm so useless, I have to rely on you for everything."

"Nian Nian".

"Um?"

"Didn't you ever think that it's actually me who can't live without you?" Yin Cheng said. "On the surface, it's me taking care of you, but in reality, it's you who's always taking care of me, trying to play the role of a little husband being taken care of by me, in order to satisfy my emotional needs."

This was the first time Lin Nian had heard such a statement. "Is that so?"

"Yes." Yin Cheng kissed his wife. "Niannian, I can't live without you at all."

Lin Nian pursed her lips and smiled faintly.

It turns out he always felt he was being too clingy and was afraid men would find him annoying.

It turns out it was all just needless worry.

He wrapped his arms around the man's waist; after all, they were in the wilderness, and no one would see his recklessness.

"Niannian, hold me tight, I'll take you flying down."

Lin Nian then noticed that they had somehow arrived at the edge of a cliff, and Si Dian Bai had already run off to graze.

"Are we going to jump off the cliff?" Lin Nian asked.

Yin Cheng nodded. "This road is shorter. If you're scared, close your eyes."

Unexpectedly, Lin Nian said, "Husband, if I jump first and then you jump, can you catch me?"

Yin Cheng was shocked. "Wife, when did you become so bold?"

Lin Nian said, "Hehe, I used to think about strange things before going to bed at night, like being chased by someone, and then the bad guys forced me to the edge of a cliff, and I resisted to the death and jumped off."

Yin Cheng: "..."

Yin Cheng recalled a melodramatic plot he'd read in his past life, "Then a peerless master descends the mountain, teaches you martial arts, and you learn it and then seek revenge on your enemies?"

Lin Nian was utterly shocked. "How did you know?!"

"..."

Lin Nian asked with certainty, "So, husband, you do this before you go to sleep at night too, right?"

Yin Cheng moved his lips and said with difficulty, "Wife, I am already a peerless master, so I usually don't have dreams like this."

"So what did you dream about?"

Yin Cheng casually remarked, "All the handsome young men in the world love me."

Lin Nian angrily stomped on his foot.

Yin Cheng curled the corners of his lips into a smile. "Just kidding."

He thought about it seriously, "I used to think about how to go back, but then I realized I really couldn't go back, so I stopped thinking about it."

"Go back?" Lin Nian keenly grasped the key point. "Go back where? To the capital?"

"I'm going back to my own world, where I lived for twenty-four years," Yin Cheng said.

Lin Nian asked, "Is it the past life you mentioned?"

"Um."

After hesitating for a long time, Lin Nian finally asked the question that had been lingering in her heart: "Husband, is that Yin Cheng... you?"

Although his wife's question was vague and rambling, Yin Cheng still understood what she meant.

He teased his wife on purpose, saying, "Actually, I'm a wandering ghost who has taken over Yin Cheng's body."

Lin Nian opened her mouth slightly, "Ah..."

Just as Yin Cheng was about to tell the truth, he saw his wife say with a firm expression, "Husband, don't worry, from now on I will definitely not let the Taoist priest get close to you."

Yin Cheng held back for a long time, but couldn't help laughing out loud, "Fool."

Lin Nian scolded him, "What are you doing!"

"When I came into this world, it was right when my mom..." Yin Cheng's expression twisted for a moment, as if he was trying to mentally prepare himself. After a while, he said, "Um... when my stepfather gave birth to me."

He gently rubbed his wife in his arms. "I am Le Haochuan, and also Yin Cheng."

"Oh," Lin Nian said, "then I'm relieved."

"Hmm? What's there to worry about?"

Lin Nian smiled and said, "That way you won't suddenly leave one day."

Yin Cheng smiled and said, "Wife, get ready."

Lin Nian: "Huh? -- Ahhh!"

Yin Cheng suddenly jumped off the cliff with his wife in his arms. The wind squeezed against their skin and flesh. After a moment of weightlessness, all that remained was the pounding of their hearts.

Although Lin Nian said she wasn't afraid, she was still very uneasy when she actually met him.

They finally made it down the mountain. Lin Nian's legs were shaking. He hugged the man and it took him a while to catch his breath.

As the sun gradually rose higher, the surrounding air became scorching hot.

Especially in areas exposed to sunlight, it has already started to get hot.

Lin Nian fanned herself with her hand, "I forgot to bring my round fan."

"Playing in the water, why would you need a fan?" Yin Cheng led his men to a rocky outcrop. This was a small branch of the Wuding River, where the water was very shallow, reaching only about knee-deep at its deepest point.

The Wuding River originates from the snow-capped mountains further north, and its high-water season is during the summer.

Therefore, although Caixia City is extremely hot, it is not short of water.

Melted snowmelt is a pale, icy blue color. Although it is warmed by the scorching heat, it is still a very pleasant temperature.

"Niannian, wait for me here. I'm going to the mountains to catch some pheasants."

Lin Nian couldn't wait to take off her shoes and wade in the water. "Then be careful!"

"Just shout if you need anything, I can hear you."

"Okay." Seeing how hot the weather was, Lin Nian sat down in the water.

The snowmelt reached just above his chest, and he let out a comfortable sigh.
