Chapter 66

Luo Xiu knew that her wish was impossible to fulfill.

This was already the eighth night since they set off. If nothing unexpected happened, they would reach Muyuan City by the evening of the day after tomorrow.

Once they arrived there, after settling her and her son, Bu Ye would leave...

Thinking about these inevitable events, she couldn't help but feel sad and desperate, more helpless than she had ever been in her life.

Because, she suddenly realized that she had fallen hopelessly in love with Bu Ye.

For her deceased husband, she had more affection than love, merely wanting to live a good life together; for the old Bu Ye, she had the same thoughts, wanting to live a peaceful life with him.

But, she fell in love with the current enigmatic Bu Ye.

The current Bu Ye gave her a feeling that was both familiar and strange. Sometimes he was so cold and inhuman, and other times he was so polite that it made her uncomfortable. The way he looked at Sheng'er was something she had never seen in anyone else's eyes, so pure and peaceful, like another child or an old man who had lived nearly a hundred years and seen everything.

His way of doing things was so unconventional, completely unpredictable. Most of the time, even though she lay beside him, she felt he was a complete stranger.

He was so close yet so mysterious, giving her the greatest happiness of her life but destined to not give her happiness...

Thus, she fell hopelessly in love with him, as if she were poisoned.

So, even though it was almost dawn, she still didn't want to leave.

She wanted to stay by Bu Ye's side forever, face everything with him, understand him, and uncover all his secrets...

But, Bu Ye in the darkness didn't say another word to her.

And, it seemed that because he knew it was almost dawn, Bu Ye was about to get up.

Luo Xiu suddenly burst into tears. Thinking about having to part with Bu Ye the day after tomorrow, she reached out from behind him and tightly hugged Bu Ye.

At that moment, both of them were still naked. When the two large, elastic soft mounds on her chest pressed against Bu Ye's back, they immediately deformed...

Bu Ye was taken aback, then he heard Luo Xiu's suppressed sobs.

He suddenly relaxed his body and said in a soft but firm voice, "I'm sorry, I'm not him."

Luo Xiu's sobs paused, as she didn't understand what "I'm not him" meant.

Bu Ye continued, "I'm also called Bu Ye, but I come from another world. My soul directly entered this Bu Ye's body. Although this world's Bu Ye's memories still exist, I am indeed not him."

Luo Xiu was completely shocked. She couldn't believe Bu Ye's words, thinking that the Bu Ye in front of her must be lying.

"I'm telling the truth."

"..."

Luo Xiu's arms around Bu Ye's body loosened, and then both of them fell into complete silence.

After a while, Luo Xiu spoke again, "Do you still have Aye's memories?"

"Uh-huh."

After a long silence, Luo Xiu's incredibly serious voice reached Bu Ye's ears again, "I like the current you."

"..."

Then, Luo Xiu leaned her head close to Bu Ye's ear and whispered, "Give me."

...

When Bu Ye and Luo Xiu were entangled again in the darkest part of the dawn, Lu Qi was patrolling the camp alone. They were almost at Muyuan, and he didn't want any accidents.

The camp was quiet, but Lu Qi's mind was far from calm.

Three days ago, a man named Chai Wangming found him and revealed everything about Bu Ye, including how Bu Ye killed Yang Yuanda, Yang Zhaocai, and scared Chai Ren to death. Although he also thought those three deserved their fate, since he knew about it, he couldn't just let Bu Ye go. Otherwise, once it was revealed in Muyuan, he would be accused of dereliction of duty.

However, the fact that Bu Ye killed the leader of the Mang Mountain bandits made him hesitant to act rashly against Bu Ye. He also suspected that Bu Ye had the Constellation Secrets, but once it involved the Constellation Secrets, everyone was clueless, and Chai Wangming couldn't provide much information.

Unconsciously, Lu Qi had already walked around most of the camp, gradually approaching Bu Ye's tent.

He had specifically noted the location during the day, so now that he saw it, he walked straight over.

As he got closer, 40 meters, 30 meters, 20 meters...

Hmm?

Lu Qi, with the strength of the 12-star Heart Cloud, had excellent hearing. When he was about 15 meters from Bu Ye's tent, he heard a faint noise coming from inside.

He frowned and focused his hearing...

When he realized it was a woman's suppressed cry, he felt a sudden heat in his lower abdomen, and his desire surged to his brain!

He immediately guessed what was happening.

Sure enough! Chai Wangming had previously said that Bu Ye and Luo Xiu were having an affair, and he didn't believe it, but now he caught them in the act!

He had a deep impression of Luo Xiu. A subordinate had mentioned her while drinking, and he had specially paid attention to her. She was indeed beautiful and had a good body, making her more durable.

From that day on, he started to take an interest in Luo Xiu. However, with Bu Ye guarding Luo Xiu and her son, no one, including him, had any chance to make a move.

He wasn't in a hurry because from the way Bu Ye and Luo Xiu interacted, it seemed they didn't have a deep relationship, and Bu Ye didn't seem to have any feelings for Luo Xiu. This made things easier, and he would have plenty of opportunities to approach Luo Xiu once they reached Muyuan.

But all of this collapsed when he heard Luo Xiu's voice. Luo Xiu was in Bu Ye's tent!

These two dogs!

Lu Qi gritted his teeth, almost unable to resist rushing over.

But he held back, and a thought flashed through his mind.

Three nights ago, a soldier's neck bone was broken and he was left not far from Luo Xiu's tent. At the time, he suspected Bu Ye was responsible, and now he was completely sure it was Bu Ye!

The soldier's condition was also bizarre. Everyone thought he wouldn't last the night, but he didn't die. He had been in a coma for three days, drinking only a little water each day, getting thinner every day... For this, Lu Qi had to specially arrange a cart to carry him, but everyone knew it was just a formality, and the man would eventually die, starved to death...

Thinking about the soldier, Lu Qi became even more angry. That was a veteran from the front lines, and Bu Ye had silently beaten him to such a state!

Lu Qi left, but for the rest of the day, his mind was filled with Luo Xiu's moans and her naked form, making him extremely uncomfortable.

In the afternoon, Lu Qi washed his head with cold water, calmed down, and his eyes turned cold as he repeatedly muttered Bu Ye's name.

...

In the evening, the official army and the villagers set up camp again under the command of Lu Qi and others.

They would reach Muyuan the next day, so most people were excited.

They lit fires, cooked food, counted heads, and arranged shifts, everything proceeding as usual. Everyone thought the night would pass peacefully like the previous nights.

However, when the blood-red demon moon rose and most people hadn't yet gone to sleep, a storm was brewing in the camp.

Everyone saw that Commandant Lu Qi not only didn't go to rest but was busily gathering people, his face dark.

The tension was palpable, especially among the villagers. They were already like rootless reeds and didn't want any more trouble on the road.

Bu Ye was lying in his tent thinking when the commotion outside grew louder. He sat up and crawled out of the tent.

As soon as he got outside, he saw a group of people marching towards him under the moonlight, with Commandant Lu Qi at the front.

Lu Qi and two sub-commandants, two squad leaders, all in armor and boots, walked with a loud "clank," looking very imposing.

Luo Xiu heard the commotion, told Sheng'er to sit quietly in the tent, and also came out.

Lu Qi stopped ten meters from Bu Ye, his right hand on the hilt of his sword, and shouted at Bu Ye, "Seize Bu Ye!"

Bu Ye looked back at Lu Qi, only to receive a cold laugh from him.

The soldiers behind Lu Qi had already moved, flanking out and rushing towards Bu Ye.

"What are you doing?!"

"Why are you arresting Aye?!"

"Why are you arresting someone for no reason?!"

The villagers, who had initially come to watch the commotion, were taken aback but quickly reacted. Those who were close to Bu Ye rushed forward to stop them, with Chen Qingyan and Gao Qun leading the charge.

"Are you all rebelling?!" Lu Qi shouted, "If you don't move, you will be treated as accomplices!"

Everyone's brows furrowed, but someone still asked, "What crime did Bu Ye commit?"
