Don't mess with that Miao boy, he's sickly and perverted.

Seeing the young couple behind him falling further and further away from the group, Jiang Zhiyu worried that something else might happen, so he stopped and waited.

But as soon as he stopped, the figure carrying someone in the distance also slowly stopped, looking like a still statue on the mountain path.

It was unclear whether they were whispering or resting.

"Come on, why aren't you moving?" Chai Xiaomi, clinging to his back, couldn't help but urge him on, pointing her finger at the figure that had shrunk to the size of a fingernail.

"Brother Yu is waiting for us there."

Wu Li narrowed his eyes slightly, a mocking smile on his lips: "Oh, you can even tell that? I thought it was a wild boar blocking the way."

"?" Chai Xiaomi was utterly bewildered. She looked at him, then at the figure in the distance, and almost doubted her own eyes.

She rubbed her eyes suspiciously, then opened them again.

Even though it's far away, the colors are still clearly distinguishable.

"That bright, white robe—who else could it be but him? Have you ever seen a wild boar dressed up?"

"Oh, so what's wrong with him now? Let him wait." Wu Li's lazy voice came from the front, devoid of emotion. "Nobody asked him to wait."

He stood there idly, slightly turning his head, his peripheral vision sweeping meaningfully over her profile with a hint of inquiry: "Perhaps, you feel sorry for her?"

Without even thinking, Chai Xiaomi retorted, "Why would I feel sorry for him? I feel sorry for you, okay!"

She really wanted to be like Song Yueyao and give him a good whack on the head.

But then the thought crossed my mind, and I held back.

It will hurt.

He is different from Jiang Zhiyu; he didn't grow up in a privileged environment.

He has been in pain far too many times.

Besides, she didn't even know where he was injured.

"When I'm not asking you to be a gentleman, why are you pretending to be one?" She gently twisted her waist on his back. "If you can't take it anymore and want to put me down, just say so. I won't laugh at you."

"This is utterly ridiculous!"

The boy reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, his fur standing on end.

He abruptly turned his head, his face clearly displaying the word "absurd," and his voice rose several octaves:

"Which eye of yours saw that I couldn't handle it?!"

He gritted his teeth.

From the moment he carried her until now, has his breathing become even slightly disordered?

Having grown up in the village, what heavy things hadn't he carried? The prey he had hunted in the past was heavier than several of her combined, and even if it was a few years younger than it is now, he could still drag it back by himself.

With her such a light and frail body.

Instead, they started questioning him?

"Weren't you just yelling that you wanted to fly away?"

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly grabbed her arm that was wrapped around his neck, and with a sudden burst of strength, he flipped her over and pulled her off from behind as if she were an over-the-shoulder throw.

Chai Xiaomi felt dizzy and disoriented.

Before she could even utter a cry of surprise, she had already undergone a 360-degree flip, and the next second, she landed steadily in a solid embrace, her feet dangling in the air without even touching the ground.

"Come on, I'll take you flying."

The boy mischievously pulled a smirk, revealing a glimpse of his sharp canine tooth.

Alarm bells rang in Chai Xiaomi's heart.

Not good.

The big thing is bad!

The next instant, the boy's figure shot up like an arrow, carrying her straight into the sky.

"Wait, wait..." Chai Xiaomi instinctively gripped his shirt tightly, anxiously calling out, "The bow! Your bow!"

When he pulled her just now, the bow fell to the ground.

"It's okay, Anan can help me pick it up."

Who is Anan?

Before Chai Xiaomi could even think, she was suddenly lifted into the air.

When Wu Li rescued her from the clutches of the nine-tailed beast, he only reached the height of the rocks.

This time, however, he seemed to be deliberately putting in all his strength, carrying her straight through the forest and rising to a dizzying height, almost able to overlook the entire outline of the rolling mountains.

Is this... reasonable?

What kind of lightweight technology puts people at such a height like kites?

Chai Xiaomi could only cling tightly to his neck with both hands, praying that she wouldn't fall.

The two continued to fly upwards, the fierce wind whistling past their ears, drowning out all other sounds.

In a daze, she seemed to hear him click his tongue very softly, and then the boy's voice, carried on the wind, vaguely reached her ears: "We're doomed."

The wind was too strong, and the girl didn't notice the distinct hint of mockery in his tone.

Her heart sank: "What's wrong?!"

His tone suddenly became unusually serious: "It seems I can't keep up with the internal energy."

If she understood correctly, this was equivalent to the thrusters running out of fuel and stalling mid-air?

She said that this was unreasonable!

Whose extraordinary abilities allowed them to use a helicopter?!

Chai Xiaomi was practically going crazy, almost screaming, "Ah? What do we do?!"

"There's nothing we can do." He sighed softly, his voice filled with a resigned helplessness. "We can only hope that when we fall, we don't break too badly."

The moment the words left her lips, Chai Xiaomi clearly felt the force supporting her suddenly loosen.

A strong feeling of weightlessness washed over me.

"ah--!"

Her voice was practically hoarse from shouting.

This feels exactly like bungee jumping!

Wu Li, you're a lunatic!!!

Why pretend to be something you're not?

Trying to do a job you're not qualified for!

In her mind, she cursed the boy's ancestors for eighteen generations.

Chai Xiaomi closed her eyes tightly and, like a frightened octopus, used all her strength to entwine herself around him, burying her face in his chest.

It seemed to sense her desperate need for a lifeline.

A pair of strong arms wrapped firmly around her waist.

He pulled her into his arms even tighter and more thoroughly.

The force was astonishing, almost crushing their bones and embedding them into their flesh.

Chai Xiaomi had never hugged anyone so tightly in her life.

All that remained in my ears was the mournful howl of the wind.

She prayed desperately that Jiang Zhiyu would see these two oddballs flying into the air and courting death, and then quickly think of a solution!

Suddenly.

"Stop calling me an idiot."

Wu Li's voice came through clearly: "Your howling hurts my ears."

Chai Xiaomi was stunned.

The wind seems to have subsided?

It was no longer the ear-splitting noise of a rapid descent, but a gentle, slow breeze brushing past my ears.

But she still didn't dare to open her eyes; her body's instincts told her that they were still in the air.

Wu Li chuckled softly and said seductively, "Open your eyes and take a look."

Chai Xiaomi buried her face even deeper into his chest and shook her head vigorously.

After a long while, he finally answered.

"I...don't...want!"

The girl's soft, sweet voice was muffled by the fabric of his shirt, and when it came out, it was sullen and angry, yet also showed a touch of coquettishness.

He looked down at the top of her head, where a few soft little hairs peeked out from between her hair buns, swaying in the wind.

It seems that no matter how you try to manipulate it, it will stubbornly stick up.

Just like her when she gets angry.

It's incredibly fun.
