A lowly soldier becomes king, I slaughter my way through the late Tang Dynasty!

What do you mean by "slept with me on the spot and brought me bad luck"?

Upon hearing Su Meiwan's words, Li Rui was so shocked that he stumbled and almost fell down the mountain!

I turned my head and took a look.

Chen Xiaoniu, standing behind him, suppressed a laugh, looked around, and pretended not to have heard anything.

Li Rui remained silent and waved his hand.

"Go away, this is none of your business."

Chen Xiaoniu chuckled and even boldly raised an eyebrow at Li Rui.

"General, please make yourself at home. I will be waiting at a hundred paces... no, three hundred paces away."

Li Rui raised his hand.

Chen Xiaoniu hurriedly ran away, not forgetting to take the two soldiers who were secretly protecting Su Meiwan with him.

Li Rui shook his head. How come all his personal guards are like this?

The previous one, Zhang Yaozu, was the same way; he dared to joke about himself!

After chasing Chen Xiaoniu away, Li Rui heard Su Meiwan muttering to herself again.

"Li Rui, you just wait. Once I've captured you, I'll make you lick my feet!"

"Hmph~ Otherwise, it would have been a waste of my time to travel such a long mountain road to find you!"

The voice just fell.

Li Rui's voice drifted faintly from behind the tree.

"What do you want me to lick?"

"ah!!"

Su Meiwan screamed in fright and jumped up, her pretty face turning deathly pale!

She only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Li Rui's face.

"Are you a ghost?! How come you walk without making a sound? It's terrifying!"

Li Rui remained expressionless as he looked down at Su Meiwan's bony feet.

The latter gave an awkward laugh, so embarrassed that he dug his toes into the ground.

"Just some unintentional remarks. Surely the renowned General Yulong wouldn't hold a grudge against a mere woman?"

Li Rui chuckled, his smile forced and insincere.

"Hehe, you went up the mountain on your own, it must have been a tough journey, your feet must be tired, right?"

Su Meiwan twisted her hands in front of her, looking uneasy.

"If you really want to lick it, it's not that you can't..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

Li Rui, with a dark expression, pulled her in front of him!

He had planned to spank her, but considering that Su Meiwan had come up the mountain in the middle of the night to see him, he decided against it.

Therefore, the hand shape changed, and it became face pinching.

That alluring, foxy face, under Li Rui's tugging and pulling, actually became a little more charming and innocent.

Su Meiwan was in pain, but dared not resist, and could only let out pitiful whimpers.

"Mmm..."

Li Rui tugged at the air for a while, then scolded.

"Even the old hunters from the nearby villages wouldn't dare to go up the mountain alone in the middle of the night!"

"On a dark and rugged road, one wrong step and you're off the mountain! Do you know how dangerous that is?"

Su Meiwan was about to speak.

Li Rui continued.

"Besides, it's summer, and there are many wild animals in the mountains. What if you encounter a bear, a boar, or a wolf?"

Su Meiwan blinked, her expression becoming even more aggrieved.

Seeing this, Li Rui grabbed her thin gauze dress again and said with a headache.

"Besides, the temperature is low in the mountains, especially at night, it's damp and chilly. You're wearing this, you'll easily get hypothermia, you know?"

Su Meiwan had no idea what hypothermia was.

She was scolded by Li Rui three times, but instead of getting angry, she smiled with satisfaction.

Seeing the slight curve of her lips, Li Rui couldn't help but say something.

"You still have the nerve to laugh? If Chen Xiaoniu hadn't discovered it in time and secretly sent people to protect you, who knows what would have happened to you?"

Upon hearing this, Su Meiwan smiled even more brightly!

Li Rui was taken aback.

Could it be that this fox spirit is a masochist?

How come you felt satisfied after being scolded?

"What are you laughing at?"

Su Meiwan pursed her red lips, a slight blush rising on her cheeks, and her voice became much softer.

"Your blaming me is a sign of your concern for me; and your concern for me is, in itself, love for me."

After a moment of silence, Li Rui was immediately dumbfounded!

He put his hand to his forehead, stepped back repeatedly, and muttered something under his breath.

"You're hopeless, you're hopeless."

Su Meiwan was unwilling to let Li Rui back down.

She stepped forward with her jade-like foot, and her slender, delicate body swayed like a willow branch, softly falling into my arms.

Li Rui instinctively reached out and supported her waist.

Taking advantage of the situation, Su Meiwan used her arms to wrap around Li Rui's neck.

She tiptoed, her red lips following suit.

After a short while, their lips parted.

Su Meiwan's voice, which was soothing to the ears, was filled with deep emotions.

"Don't go, stay with me."

Li Rui gave him a gentle hug and said.

"I'll take you to the mountainside where Chen Xiaoniu has set up camp. I'll stay with you for the night and then take you down the mountain tomorrow."

Su Meiwan bit her red lips and hugged him even tighter.

Why didn't you take me up the mountain to your summer retreat?

Before Li Rui could speak...

Su Meiwan guessed it.

"Is it that she disagrees? Why does she disagree? Is it because she dislikes my background, or my character? Or perhaps..."

At this point, Su Meiwan became somber, and her voice choked with emotion.

"Is it because you think I have a reputation for bringing bad luck to husbands? Is that right?"

Li Rui remained silent for a moment before denying it.

"That's all nonsense, just superstition."

Su Meiwan buried her head in Li Rui's neck, and tears began to flow.

Li Rui could clearly feel that Su Meiwan's bitter tears were soaking his clothes.

He sighed.

"The reputation of being a jinx is not your fault. It's just that three people died, and coincidentally, all three of them were your fiancés."

I've never believed in these things, and Shuyu isn't superstitious either; she just loves me too much and is afraid something might happen to me.

Su Meiwan continued to cry, her voice broken and intermittent.

"I don't blame you, and I don't blame her either. I... I just want someone to rely on, I want a home."

My father has been dead for seven years, and my mother is still in the hands of the Khitans. Now, the only person I can rely on is you, only you!

Touched, Li Rui hugged her even tighter.

This woman possesses a captivating beauty, like a reincarnation of Daji.

Deep down, her soul remains that of a vulnerable girl who experienced the pain of losing her father seven years ago.

Li Rui understood her feelings and therefore knew how to comfort her.

Like Li Zhiyan, it's enough to just quietly accompany her.

Letting her know that you're always there for her is the best way to comfort her.

really.

After being held for a long time, Su Meiwan's sobs gradually subsided.

Her slender body gradually became softer.

Li Rui pressed his advantage and whispered.

"From now on, Boling will be your home. Tell me anything, and I will be your support."

Su Meiwan pressed her high, straight nose against Li Rui's chest.

She inhaled Li Rui's scent intently, as if trying to memorize it.

When I smell it again in the future, no matter what has happened, I will instinctively feel at peace.

Upon hearing Li Rui's words, Su Meiwan let out a satisfied hum.

Li Rui couldn't help but laugh.

"Why are you acting like a puppy?"

Su Meiwan rubbed her nose against Li Rui and said in a sweet voice.

"Yes, the puppy wants to come into your house, but unfortunately the lady of the house won't allow it."

Li Rui was helpless.

"Why bring this up again? It's not that Shuyu disagrees, it's just that she can't quite grasp the idea right now."

Su Meiwan raised her head, a sly glint in her peach blossom eyes.

"I have an idea."

Li Rui exclaimed in surprise.

"I can't persuade her, what can you do?"

Su Meiwan smiled gently, her allure radiating from her very bones.

She extended two slender fingers, pinched the gauze on her shoulder, and pulled it down.

Her delicate, fragrant shoulders, bathed in moonlight, appeared even whiter than the moon itself.

With a soft whoosh.

The gauze dress fluttered to the ground.

Su Meiwan snuggled into Li Rui's arms again, her voice sweet and sticky.

"We'll act right here and then report to them."
