Can't a girl be a traitor like Cao Cao?

They lived a life of eating raw meat, mushrooms, vine roots and stems, and wild fruits.

Occasionally, animals such as blue sheep appear in the valley, and Beidou can easily hunt them with his superb martial arts skills.

However, to ensure the safety of the imperial tombs, fire was forbidden inside, so Beidou never saw fire either. At most, they could only dry their prey and store it as provisions.

Looking at the bright campfire in front of him, he couldn't help but show a curious expression.

Suddenly, a hand reached out and grabbed at the flames floating in front of it.

"careful!"

Tong Yan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise and quickly grabbed Bei Dou's hand back.

Then, looking at Beidou's palm with some concern, she scolded, "You can't touch fire, you little girl. Let me see if your hand is hurt."

Beidou stared blankly at Tongyan.

Tong Yan opened Beidou's palm and found that her hand was not burned by the flames at all.

It's hard not to find it strange.

She clearly saw Beidou warm his hands in the fire for quite a while...

"Don't let her appearance fool you, her inner strength is far beyond your imagination."

Chi Junlin then explained, "A few flames, as long as they don't burn inside continuously, are unlikely to harm her."

Upon hearing this, Tong Yan looked at Bei Dou, who had an innocent-looking face, and couldn't help but marvel.

"All right."

As Chi Junlin spoke, he handed a roasted wild rabbit to Beidou.

After Beidou took it, he wasn't afraid of getting burned; he tore off a piece of rabbit meat and stuffed it into his mouth.

She seemed to have never eaten roasted meat before, and the dried meat tasted very different from fresh roasted meat.

Beidou paused for a moment, then began to devour the roasted rabbit in his hand, eating it greedily even though it was without oil or salt.

Tong Yan gently patted Bei Dou's head with a hint of heartache and said softly, "Eat slowly, be careful not to choke."

Beidou glanced at Tong Yan but didn't say anything. However, he did slow down.

At this moment, Chi Junlin handed another roasted rabbit to Tong Yan and said, "Sect Leader, please eat as well."

Tong Yan thanked Chi Junlin, then tore off half of the rabbit meat and shared it with him.

Not long after, dinner was finished.

Seeing that the moon and stars were few and the night was over, Chi Junlin arranged for Beidou to sleep by the fire.

She found Beidou a large rock that had been warmed by the campfire, and he could feel the warmth of the fire by lying on it.

Beidou lay on the rock, feeling very warm.

With his eyes fixed on the crackling and flickering charcoal in front of him, he gradually fell asleep.

Tong Yan looked at Bei Dou, who was curled up by the campfire with his eyes closed, her eyes filled with heartache.

It seems that because Ruri is also around that age, seeing Hokuto reminds her of her daughter.

A mother can't bear to see her child suffer.

At this moment, Chi Junlin looked at Tong Yan's profile.

In the firelight, his youthful face appeared even more gentle and beautiful.

Compared to her cold and aloof appearance back then, her current youthful face has gained more charm and a touch of everyday life.

When she sits by the campfire in silence, she looks like a goddess descended from heaven.

But the thought of her alluring breaths on the bed was enough to steal one's soul.

Looking at the childlike, beautiful face, Chi Junlin couldn't help but sit down beside her and whisper in her ear, "The child is asleep. It's time for the adults now."

Tong Yan was taken aback by what she heard, and couldn't help but lower her head, her cheeks slightly flushed.

Bathed in the light of the campfire, they appeared exceptionally beautiful.

“Miss Junlin…surrounded by beauties, why bother with this old woman like me…”

What if I do like the sect leader?

"But I don't..."

"Why should the sect leader deceive himself?"

As Chi Junlin spoke, he used his hand to lift Tong Yan's chin, making her look at him.

"If the sect leader has no feelings for me, why were you so passionate when you kissed me today?"

Her youthful face was flushed, and her red lips shimmered with a glossy sheen, making her exceptionally alluring.

She kept her mouth shut and didn't say anything, but her eyes were incredibly charming.

Chi Junlin couldn't resist giving her a light peck on the lips.

"Chirp."

With a shy smile and lowered eyes, she whispered, "Miss Junlin..."

"Now that things have come to this, will you still call me Miss Junlin?"

"That……"

"Call me King's Landing."

Tong Yan's face flushed red, and he whispered in a low voice, "Jun Lin..."

At first I didn’t realize it, but after I called him “Tongyan”, I realized how incredibly intimate it was.

Her heart was pounding.

Chi Junlin smiled and whispered in her ear.

"Yan'er".

Chapter 81 Heartfelt Love

The firelight flickered and crackled.

In the jungle, beside a campfire.

Use the sky as your quilt and the earth as your bed.

In this remote mountain forest, there was no one else.

No matter how loud the noise or how violent the movements, no one will know.

Beidou, who was sleeping by the campfire, was vaguely awakened by the noise.

She grew up in the imperial tomb from a young age, and when she slept, the surroundings were always very quiet.

Therefore, they are extremely sensitive to even the slightest noise.

Even if Tong Yan lowered his voice, he couldn't escape Beidou's hearing.

Moreover, she simply couldn't suppress it.

After being woken up, Beidou opened his eyes groggily.

They could see the two figures through the fire.

However, Beidou did not find it strange.

In the valley, she had also seen wild animals or birds cuddling and showing affection to each other.

If this is the nature of wild animals, then humans should be the same.

Therefore, Beidou did not make a sound to disturb them.

She thought that her master had taught her that the master's orders were supreme and that everything the master did was right.

Since the master has done so, things in the world should be done in the same way.

Then there's nothing strange about it.

So Beidou turned over and went back to sleep.

-

The next day, when he woke up, his face was flushed and he was unusually shy.

After a night of nourishment, she looked radiant.

And the way he looked at Chi Junlin also carried a different kind of emotion.

Tong Yan knew that Chi Junlin was already highly skilled in martial arts, and after his experience at the Imperial Tomb, his inner strength had become even more surging and astonishing.

The inexhaustible and eternal energy he possesses during his practice is truly astonishing.

Tong Yan had never imagined that she would have such a fulfilling night in her life.

When Chi Junlin told Tong Yan that he probably possessed the surging internal energy passed down for hundreds of years by the Tomb Guardians, she was even more astonished.

Tong Yan guessed that there was probably no one else in the world whose internal strength was more powerful than Chi Junlin's.

Coupled with the powerful and domineering "Emperor's Overlord Spear," it is truly invincible in the world.

However, facing such a martial arts expert, Tong Yan felt no fear at all; on the contrary, she felt even more secure.

After their heart-to-heart talk last night, she became even more enamored with Chi Junlin.

It's hard to say whether Tong Yan's deceased husband or Chi Junlin holds a more important place in her heart right now.

Tong Yan dared not seriously consider this question.

And the fact that Chi Jun would occasionally call her by her childhood nickname "Yan'er" made her unable to control her feelings.

Tong Yan could only accept Chi Junlin calling her that in private. If it were in front of others, especially her daughter, Tong Yan would probably be mortified.

She could only beg Chi Junlin not to call him that in front of others.

In response, she agreed to many of the rather impolite requests from the Crimson King.

Seeing this, Chi Junlin could only reluctantly agree.

After that, the three of them, having finished their trip to the Imperial Mausoleum, leisurely made their way back to the Sword Harmony Sect.

Chi Junlin seemed to be deliberately delaying, wanting to prolong the time it would take to return to the mountain so that he could spend some time with Tong Yan along the way.

Tong Yan also sensed Chi Junlin's thoughts, but she kept them to herself.

Six days and seven nights passed.

No matter how long Chi Junlin delayed, he eventually arrived at the foot of Mount Jiuyi.

It would be a bit unreasonable not to go back to the mountain soon.

The two reluctantly ended their journey, only then remembering their original identities and returning to the civilized world.

Once you ascend the mountain path and enter the mountain gate, the disciples inside immediately come out to greet you.

Chi Junlin and Tong Yan quickly avoided each other's gaze to prevent their disciples from noticing any emotions they might reveal.

However, at this moment, Chi Junlin noticed that his disciples seemed to be in a bad mood.

It seems like they've encountered some trouble.

A female disciple reported a few words to Tong Yan, who immediately frowned.

“Miss Junlin…”

Tong Yan called out to Chi Junlin, almost giving himself away.

His face flushed slightly, but he forced himself to remain calm and said, "Please return to your residence first. I have some sect affairs to attend to, and we can discuss them later."

Chi Junlin then politely cupped his hands towards Tong Yan and said, "I am very grateful for the sect leader's care these past few days. If you encounter any trouble, I will definitely help you."

He deliberately emphasized the word "take care of," and while the other disciples couldn't understand what he meant, a blush rose on Tong Yan's face.

He quickly offered a few perfunctory words, and then, surrounded by his disciples, headed towards the main hall.

Chi Junlin led Beidou toward the side room, but as they passed through the hall corridor, they saw several constables standing near the corridor door.

She frowned, but didn't say anything.

Instead, they first entered the small courtyard where the group was staying and went to the side room.
