C77 Part3

....

Murong Yu walked forward step by step, steadily walking with her on his back under the scorching sun.

He didn't find it troublesome at all for him and kept his pace.

Murong Ci lay on his back, feeling his solid back, and she found herself in deep thoughts:

Not long ago, she was planning to take his life and cut his head.

At that time, she was worried about her grudges and hatreds for him all day long.

She reminded herself that he and her could only be enemies and opponents.

Be it her or him, one of the two had to die in the end, and there would have been no time for love affairs between them...

However now, here they were...depending on each other for their lives in this deserted countryside.

'Isn't it ridiculous?

Why is he so good to her?'

Suddenly she found herself assaulted by a wave of fatigue and tiredness in her spirit and soul.

If there was a broad, tight shoulder for her to rely on forever,

if there was a quiet and stable embrace that made her lie down lazily with the burden off her shoulders,

if there was a man who treated her wholeheartedly and planned to care for her,

she would have willingly sank into the love between men and women, and perhaps leave everything behind, letting them banter and wander in this world.

However, she reminded herself one thing:

Once her secret was exposed, she would be trapped in the prosperous golden cage and become a captive canary.

Murong Ci put aside those beautiful and confused thoughts, and a wry smile slipped from the corner of her lips.

However, the man in front of her carrying her, his responsibility, his boldness, his shoulders, at this moment, indeed made her a little bit...infatuated...

'No way!

This is just an illusion!

I can't have delusional or obsessing thoughts with any man!

Let alone with Murong Yu!'

In a moment, her eyes were as clear as water.

"The Prince Regent must be tired.

Let me down. I can walk by myself."

"Your Royal Highness, if you are willing to, this King is willing to carry you forever, stay in the same boat and never leave you."

Murong Yu's voice was low and strangely firm,

"Whether you are a beggar on the street or a nobleman in the Palace,

whether you're sick or bloody,

regardless the case,

whether we were to face each other with swords or hatred,

this king would like to accompany Your Highness to face the difficulties, grievances and hatreds of this world,

hold your hand in the twilight, hold you to listen to the long stream and enjoy the sunrise and sunset together."

These words seemed to be full of puzzling affection, yes, the love of men and women.

Murong Ci froze in horror, and her heart throbbed as if it almost jumped out her chest.

'This is what a man would show to a woman he loves!

He has really seen through me, that I'm a woman!

Is he showing me...his heart?'

'...No way! Not at all!

The Royal King had always been cold and cruel, wise and planful, and ambitious...

How could he say these words of love to me?

This must be his trick!'

'He's saying this as nothing more than a strategy!

To induce me to reveal my secrets,

or to lure me into being fooled by his beautiful face, and being willing to give up everything to him, and to please him.

It must be so!'

Thinking of this, she stabilized her mind, but heard him call her twice.

"Huh? What's the matter?

This Prince seemed to have fallen asleep just now..."

Murong Ci muttered, as if he had just woke up.

"Nothing..."

Murong Yu's faint voice couldn't hide his disappointment.

After walking for a mile, they finally met Murong Yu's subordinates.

Qin Ruo followed the two men in black and was looking for her.

Once she saw the Royal King carrying His Highness on his back, her eyes widened in surprise.

'What the hell is this?'

Murong Yu let Murong Ci down, and whispered in her ears:

"Well, actually, the snake that bit you just now wasn't poisonous at all."
