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

Lin Beizhen said coldly, "Get out of here."

Lu Ruo thought he wouldn't get angry at all, but she didn't expect him to get angry so easily.

He didn't care whether the man was angry or not, and leaned in, pressing his soft lips against the man's chin.

Although it's a clumsy honey trap, as long as it works, it's a good plan.

Previously, Lin Beizhen had tolerated Lu Ruo's presumptuous probing and had never dealt with him severely because he felt that the boy had not done anything heinous.

However, this action really crossed his bottom line.

He and Lu Ruo each had their own strengths. For example, now that they were so close, even the most powerful light-footed skills were useless.

Lin Beizhen suddenly grabbed Lu Ruo's wrist and threw him away.

Lu Ruo never expected that this man would be so insensitive to women!

He wasn't wearing much clothing to begin with, and now most of his fair and tender skin was exposed, making people's blood boil.

But Lin Beizhen was not swayed by him.

He threw the young man's thin outer garment over, "Take your men and get out."

Lu Ruo sneered, "No way, go ahead and kill me today if you dare."

As he spoke, he lunged at him again.

However, Lin Beizhen was prepared this time.

Lu Ruo missed his target, but he did not give up. Instead of using his weapon, he used his superb lightness skill to repeatedly press himself against the man.

After several such experiences, Lin Beizhen gradually began to grasp the feeling of pursuing competition.

This guy's lightness skill is better than his. Based on Lin Beizhen's guess, this guy is probably hiding his true abilities.

His true strength is far less than that.

After an incense stick had burned, Lu Ruo suddenly stopped, panting as she reached out to stop him. "Wait, let's rest for a bit, I'm exhausted."

Lin Beizhen: "..."

Lu Ruo was only trying to stall for time; he never expected Lin Beizhen to agree.

To everyone's surprise, Lin Beizhen actually stopped and said, "Okay."

Lu Ruo thought, this man really is a man of principle.

Aside from not letting him touch the Qian family's goods, all his other requests were met.

Lu Ruo caught a glimpse of her people starting to move out of the corner of her eye, so she continued to pester Lin Beizhen.

Because he discovered that although this man was very perceptive, he was completely ignorant about matters between young masters and boys.

As long as he focuses his attention on himself, his men can take the goods away without anyone noticing.

This plan is a deception to deceive the heavens.

However, Lin Beizhen was not so easily fooled. When he saw that more than half of the bandits lying haphazardly in the courtyard were gone, he could easily understand their plan.

Just as he was about to step forward, Lu Ruo floated over.

He was already skilled in light-footed martial arts, so stopping him now would be a piece of cake.

"I told you, you can't get rid of me unless you kill me," Lu Ruo said. "My lord, why don't you conspire with us? I'll split the profits from this shipment fifty-fifty with you."

Lin Beizhen said, "Further words are pointless; I apologize for any offense."

Although that's what he said, Lin Beizhen actually used the back of the knife when he made his move.

Lu Ruo naturally noticed this detail as well, and the smile on her lips deepened.

He enjoys associating with upright gentlemen and people from prestigious families.

If it's a crooked or unorthodox approach, there are countless ways to achieve one's goal.

But men have their own dignity and bottom line. They are fair and square in winning and losing and would never resort to underhanded means.

More importantly, these kinds of people always subconsciously show leniency towards men and children.

They sympathize with the weak.

Lu Ruo understood this principle a long time ago, so sometimes showing weakness is also a skill.

The moment the back of the blade slashed at him, Lu Ruo had another idea in mind.

He pretended to be injured by the blow and fell backward.

Behind him was a landscape of artificial hills and a small pond.

If he falls, he will surely be bleeding from a head wound.

Lin Beizhen frowned and instinctively jumped over to catch him.

Lu Ruo opened her eyes and said softly, "My lord, your heart is not ruthless enough."

Lin Beizhen placed him on the flat ground and turned to guard the goods.

Lu Ruo did not continue to stop him, but instead took out a whistle and blew it.

Soon, the bandits left the inn.

Lu Ruo told them to return to the village first, leaving only the people who were originally stationed at the inn behind.

Anyone with a modicum of common sense would know that this inn, nestled deep in the mountains, is a rip-off.

This shop has been open for many years, and although it was taken over by bandits, there has been almost no bad news about it.

Firstly, no one knew that this inn was run by bandits.

Secondly, as mentioned before, this group of bandits considers themselves chivalrous heroes and would naturally disdain to oppress the common people.

Normally, this is just an ordinary inn.

After this commotion went on for a while, some people's medication wore off, and they began to regain their senses.

No one was injured, and the goods were undamaged.

Unaware that they had been drugged, many of them slept soundly until dawn.

The next morning, when the escort agency was about to leave, Lu Ruo ran out crying, "Husband, take me with you, I don't want to stay here alone."

Lin Beizhen felt that he had made himself clear enough yesterday, so why did this young man still want to marry him?

Lu Ruo's attire today was much more appropriate, consisting of a plain-colored dress that a typical husband would wear.

Her fair skin was covered by fabric, and her face was no longer heavily made up as it had been the day before, revealing only a clean and delicate face.

"Husband." Lu Ruo stepped forward and tugged at Lin Beizhen's sleeve, acting coquettishly.

Lin Beizhen asked, "What are you planning to do now?"

Lu Ruo seemed to be frightened by his cold tone, her eyes filled with tears, looking extremely pitiful.

"My husband..."

The group of bodyguards were completely surprised that Lin Beizhen, who seemed so honest and unassuming, had already married a husband, who had gone to great lengths to follow them.

An older镖师 (bodyguard/escort) said, "Brother Lin, why are you bringing your husband along on this镖师 (bodyguard/escort) trip?"

Everyone laughed.

Lu Ruo said, "Husband, I'll be bullied by thugs if I stay home alone. Please, take me with you on your escort mission."

Lin Beizhen said, "I've told you I won't marry you, so don't come back."

Lu Ruo said, "Husband, how can you be so heartless? I'm carrying our child... How can you say such a thing?"

Before Lin Beizhen could speak, Lu Ruo continued crying, "Are you trying to go find Tian'er from Piaoxiang Courtyard? Waaah, I knew you heartless man were going to find your lover."

"If that's the case, why don't you divorce me? So that I and the child won't ruin your plans?"

Lin Beizhen's lips twitched. How come this guy is even better at acting than his stepfather?

Although the head镖师 (bodyguard/escort) was greedy, he was also a kind-hearted person.

Upon hearing this, he began to berate Lin Beizhen, "Brother Lin, this is where you're wrong. Now that your husband is carrying your child, you should avoid brothels."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ruo rolled her eyes without making a sound.

Look at these lousy men. Their wives are pregnant, and they say they'll go less often, but they never actually do.
