Chapter 922: Lets enjoy the moment, but not expect the year to improve just yet (1)
Taking advantage of the explosion in the temple and the flames that kept rising in the streets and alleys, Xiao Tianyao managed to escape. By the time the four masters guarding the empty city chased him out, he had already taken Lin Chujiu away.
After running for more than an hour at a stretch, Xiao Tianyao stopped and said: "They probably won"t catch up." They haven"t caught up after so long, they most likely went the wrong way.
Before he left, he deliberately let go of the horse. The four people must have followed the horse"s hoof prints to chase him. Otherwise, based on their strength, it would only be a matter of seconds to catch up with him and Lin Chujiu.
“It’s good that they won’t chase you.” Lin Chujiu sat on the fork of a tree with the trunk behind her, breathing slowly.
Even though Xiao Tianyao was leading her all the way, she was still very tired and exhausted after running all the way.
She was afraid, afraid of being chased by those four people.
Although she had been hiding in the city and had not seen the four people, seeing that Xiao Tianyao could only run away, she knew that the strength of the four people was not ordinary. Xiao Tianyao would be fine if they wanted to fight, but she would drag Xiao Tianyao.
Xiao Tianyao saw Lin Chujiu leaning against the tree trunk, sticking out her tongue and panting like a puppy. He couldn"t help but smile. He took off the kettle and handed it to her: "Do you want some water?"
"Take a sip." Lin Chujiu was too lazy to do anything, so she took a sip from Xiao Tianyao"s hand and then choked.
It can be seen that Prince Xiao was slightly less capable of feeding people water.
"Ahem…" Lin Chujiu choked and coughed violently, tears bursting out of her eyes.
"Are you okay?" Xiao Tianyao patted Lin Chujiu"s back gently and said with self-reproach.
“I choked, it’s okay… I’ll just drink some water, and it’ll be fine.” Lin Chujiu wanted to complain, but Xiao Tianyao looked worried, and his complaints turned into considerate ones.
"I"ll feed you." Xiao Tianyao handed over the water diligently, but as soon as he moved, Lin Chujiu refused: "I"ll do it myself." She didn"t want to choke again.
Although it won"t kill people, it will give you a sore throat after coughing.
Sure enough, drinking water by yourself means you don’t have to worry about choking.
After drinking several mouthfuls of water, Lin Chujiu felt a little better, and handed the remaining water to Xiao Tianyao: "You can drink some too." At this moment, Xiao Tianyao was the one who did the work most, and it was Xiao Tianyao who led her along the way. He must be tired and thirsty at this time.
Xiao Tianyao didn"t mind it either. He drank all the water at the spot where Lin Chujiu drank. He was about to meditate under the tree and rest for a while when he suddenly heard a strange wind sound.
"No, they are coming." Xiao Tianyao"s face changed slightly. His hands reacted faster than his brain, and he immediately hugged Lin Chujiu and flew eastward.
The wind blew past his ears. Lin Chujiu buried her head in Xiao Tianyao"s arms. She noticed that Xiao Tianyao was getting faster and faster. She felt uneasy and finally couldn"t help but say: "We can"t outrun them. I remember that they are not far ahead. There is a small waterfall, let’s take cover first.”
The opponent pursued them in the wrong direction, but they were able to catch up with them in such a short period, which shows how fast the opponent was.
If Xiao Tianyao was the only one, there would be no problem, but if Xiao Tianyao wanted to take her with him, he would not be able to outrun the opponent.
“Okay, let’s go hide in the water first.” After a.s.sessing the gap between the two sides, Xiao Tianyao decisively followed Lin Chujiu’s arrangement.
It doesn"t matter if he doesn"t admit it, his physical strength was limited. If he keeps running, even if the opponent can"t catch up with him, he will die from exhaustion.
Less than a mile away from them, there was a small waterfall. They had fetched water there during the day, so Xiao Tianyao naturally knew the way.
He held Lin Chujiu in his arms and jumped a few steps between the treetops. Xiao Tianyao soon heard the sound of water flowing and estimated the distance. Xiao Tianyao held Lin Chujiu and plunged into the water.
With a splash, Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu fell into the water at the same time, causing a huge splash, but they soon returned to calm. By the time the four masters chased them, everything had returned to calm without even a trace.
The four masters didn"t even know there was a waterfall there. They didn"t even stop and walked forward, looking for Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu everywhere.
Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu hid in the water, not daring to take a breath, let alone emerge. They just stayed suffocated in the water, which even a martial G.o.d couldn"t bear.
Xiao Tianyao was okay. After all, he had the cultivation of a supreme martial G.o.d. It was not a problem to hold in the water for a quarter of an hour. But Lin Chujiu couldn"t do it. In less than a stick of incense, she started to be out of breath and grabbed his hands unconsciously kicking her legs wildly.
Seeing this, Xiao Tianyao hesitated for a moment, took Lin Chujiu"s hands, pushed her up, kissed her, and helped her breathe… …
"Hmm…" Fresh breath poured into her mouth. Lin Chujiu couldn"t help but widen her eyes. Looking at the enlarged handsome face in front of her, Lin Chujiu felt a heat on her face. Fortunately, she was in the water, and Xiao Tianyao couldn"t see anything.
With fresh breath, Lin Chujiu also calmed down and sank quietly into the water, waiting for time to pa.s.s.
One minute, two minutes… The quarter of an hour soon came. At this time, even Xiao Tianyao couldn"t stand it anymore. The two of them swam a few meters into the waterfall and came out to take a breath under the cover of the water curtain.
After taking a breath, the two quickly sank to the bottom of the water to avoid being discovered.
So many times, the two of them hid in the water for about half an hour before deciding to swim forward.
Yes, they decided to swim forward instead of getting out of the water.
They were covered in water at the moment. If they go ash.o.r.e, they will easily leave traces. The only way to stay safe was to stay in the water until dawn.
With Xiao Tianyao"s lead, Lin Chujiu swam much faster than before. The two of them swam for an unknown amount of time until they were exhausted before they landed ash.o.r.e and walked into the forest.
With their appearance, their goal on the official road was too obvious, and it was only safe to go into the woods.
Xiao Tianyao got a torch, and with the faint light, the two found a cave in the forest. Xiao Tianyao asked Lin Chujiu to sit, then went out to find some dead branches and leaves, and built a fire in the cave.
Both of them were soaked and needed to take off their clothes to dry them. But they didn’t have a change of clothes, so they took off all their clothes. What should they wear?
Lin Chujiu took off her coat and refused to take off other clothes. If she took off another one, she would be left with only her middle coat and belly band. Although in modern times, summer wear was less than this, the situation was different.
In modern times, everyone wears them in an open s.p.a.ce, and everyone wears the same clothes. Even if she wears less, she will not be conspicuous. But what was their situation right now?
She and Xiao Tianyao stayed in an independent semi-enclosed s.p.a.ce. She and Xiao Tianyao were still known as husband and wife, but they didn"t even have any ambiguous relations.h.i.+p. At this time, if she strips her clothes and only leaves her belly band, what"s the difference between that and seduction?
It was just that Lin Chujiu didn"t know that wearing them was not much better than not wearing them when her whole body was soaked. Especially when her middle coat was white and her belly band was red… …
