Chapter Eighty-Seven: Now that you've cured me, you can't abandon me

  When Chu Hao returned to the tea shed, Li Meng and twenty other imperial guards were already deployed outside. Li Meng stood at the forefront of the tea shed, his face stern, his feet planted firmly on the muddy road, his hand tightly gripping his sword.

  Although he looked calm and composed, his eyes kept darting around, especially towards the dense forest beside the official road. His heart was also tense about Chu Hao's departure earlier.

  Chu Hao followed Lijie and the others into the forest, it was almost half a time. If something happened to the prince in this, they would be doomed. However, for their tension, Liu Li and the others were extremely calm, Liu Li was injured, Chu Hao allowed him to sit on the stool just now, but he didn't sit down, after taking a breath, he stood up again, nine people in twenty imperial guards, like layer by layer of encirclement, protecting Lin Yue'er and Xiao Die in the middle.

  Originally, Li Meng had thought of sending someone to check on the situation in the dense forest several times. But recalling the gaze of the young master when he left previously, although it was calm and gentle, for some reason, he couldn't shake off a chill in his heart. This feeling forced him not to go against Chu Hao's intentions, not daring to take action arbitrarily!

  However, after going for so long, his heart was still extremely worried. Although he had just seen Chu Hao's extraordinary abilities and the strength of the big men around him, as a member of the imperial guard and the son of the prince, having worries was inevitable.

  And this is also where he and Liu Li are completely different.

  Chu Hao walked out of the forest just in time to see this vigilant scene. This scene made Chu Hao nod slightly in his heart, these imperial guards had some quality and strength after all, but he didn't lack people in his hands now. What he wanted was only a small number of trusted followers, not troops for battle.

  His goal is to cultivate and then go to Ziyunmen to settle debts, rather than competing for the throne.

  "Your Highness, the Crown Prince!" Seeing Chu Hao return, Li Meng's tightly strung heart finally relaxed completely. He hastily stepped forward, even forgetting to address him as "Young Master", and directly called out the Crown Prince's name.

  Chu Hao nodded and didn't say anything, then went into the teahouse to check Liu Li's injuries, and patted his shoulder. Liu Li understood Chu Hao's intention and showed gratitude in his eyes.

  "Let's set off." At this moment, the rain had already stopped. Chu Hao said lightly and then pulled Lin Yue'er's hand to walk towards the horse carriage. Li Meng looked at Chu Hao, wanting to say something but not knowing how to start. Hearing that they were setting off, he called out to the other guards, settled the bill, and then continued their journey once again.

  In Li Meng's heart, he no longer dares to underestimate the Crown Prince. He thought of the incident that was widely spread in the capital a while ago, where the Crown Prince defeated the King of Jing, and then recalled Chu Hao's current performance, and his mind had already made some guesses.

  However, Chu Hao would not bother to care about their thoughts. He now had a two-year agreement with the Purple Cloud Sect, and even if he exposed his true strength, as long as it was not completely revealed, there was nothing wrong with that. And letting others fear him more was not impossible either.

  This can also save a lot of minor troubles.

  Set off again, Chu Hao directly got into Lin Yue'er's carriage. Xiao Die was reluctantly driven away by Chu Hao. Little Loli pouted and looked at her mistress with a hint of dissatisfaction before getting on the other carriage.

  As he settled into the carriage, Chu Hao stretched his waist and his nose was filled with the faint scent of Lin Yue's body. The fragrance of a young girl always invaded one's heart, and he greedily took in a few more sniffs.

  Lin Yue'er's beautiful eyes blinked, and she asked curiously: "Where did you go just now?" Chu Hao smiled and said: "Nothing, didn't I say so? I went to the restroom."

  Lin Yue'er discontentedly hummed a sound, and said in a delicate voice: "You may be able to deceive Li Meng's guards, but you can't deceive me. You're going to find those arrogant people from earlier, aren't you?"

  "Chu Hao exclaimed: 'How did you know?'"

  Lin Yue'er nodded her head with a pleased expression: "What's so hard to guess about this? Your eyes were furious just now, and when you're teasing someone, you always show that kind of smile. I knew it at a glance."

  "What kind of smile?" Chu Hao asked, leaning against Lin Yue'er's delicate body.

  Lin Yue'er pushed him, but couldn't push him away. A flush rose to her face as she said, "It's this lewd smile of yours right now."

  Chu Hao burst out laughing and said: "It seems that Yu'er is really my kindred spirit, she doesn't understand me very well!"

  She glanced at Chu Hao, but Lin Yue'er's face showed a worried expression, saying: "Then you're okay? I think those arrogant guys look pretty fierce."

  "You don't even see who I am, the person who can hurt me hasn't been born yet." Chu Hao's heart warmed seeing Lin Yue'er's concern for him, and he spoke sweet words: "Don't worry, without your permission, I won't let myself get hurt."

  Lin Yue'er's face turned red, but her heart was sweet and tight. She lowered her head and muttered: "I didn't ask you to do this. You'd better get hurt, I won't care about you."

  Chu Hao pressed Lin Yue'er's small hand against his chest, and said seriously: "No matter what you think, but before I do these things, I will always think of someone who is worried about me, silently praying. So, no matter what I do, I won't let that person's worry become a reality, I will protect myself, and also protect that person."

  This remark is quite insightful, but as for who said it, he didn't say that either.

  Lin Yue'er heard this and felt a suffocating feeling in her heart, with a misty fog suddenly rising in her eyes, her gaze also becoming hazy. Her lips parted slightly, the lower lip seeming like rose petals, shimmering with a faint color: "Really... is it true?"

  Chu Hao nodded heavily, then suddenly hugged Lin Yue'er into his arms, lowering his head to look at her pure and innocent face, his eyelashes trembling with affection: "Really."

  Lin Yue'er didn't respond, nor did she struggle. This time, she quietly lay in Chu Hao's arms, her face pressed against his chest, her black hair cascading down softly. Her hands gently wrapped around Chu Hao's waist, and her ears were filled with the strong and powerful sound of his heartbeat. The tip of her nose was surrounded by the faint scent of Chu Hao's body.

  This feeling is very peaceful and wonderful.

  When he saw Lin Yue'er not struggling, Chu Hao's heart was delighted, but he also didn't want to destroy the warmth of this moment. He rested his chin on Lin Yue'er's head, and all that could be heard along the way was the rumble of the wheels.

  Two people quietly hugged each other, waiting for time to pass like this.

  However, time flies too quickly. When Chu Hao was still immersed in this feeling, Li Meng's voice came from outside: "Young master, there is a post station ahead, it's getting late, do you want to rest?"

  Lin Yue'er was like a startled rabbit, immediately propping herself up from Chu Hao's arms, her face burning with heat, and lowering her head. Chu Hao silently sighed and cursed Li Meng in his heart, deciding to get off the car.

  At this time, Lin Yue'er seemed to have plucked up the courage, and then pulled Chu Hao down to sit, her face red, but she lifted her head, stretched out her white hands, carefully tidying up Chu Hao's robes and collar. Just now when the two were hugging each other, Chu Hao's robe had some wrinkles on it.

  Lin Yue'er's expression was one of shy reserve, yet her eyebrows conveyed a sense of determination and sincerity. The interplay between these two emotions had reached the pinnacle of beauty.

  Chu Hao felt a wave of dizziness, as if something in his heart had been touched. In this scene, Lin Yue'er was like his own wife, and he was the husband who was about to go home.

  "Alright." With a final pat on Chu Hao's collar, Lin Yue'er finally put down her hands and looked at Chu Hao's dazed expression. She waved her hand in front of him and asked, "What's wrong?"

  Chu Hao grasped her weakly dangling hand and said: "Yue Er, actually I deceived you, I was indeed injured just now."

  Lin Yue'er's heart tightened, "Where?" She said, and then she really looked at Chu Hao's body with great tension.

  Chu Hao didn't respond, and instead gently tucked the few strands of hair on Lin Yue'er's shoulder to her back, then stuck out his tongue, exposing it outside, mumbling: "Here."

  Lin Yue'er knew that Chu Hao was talking nonsense again, and she hurriedly hit him, blushing: "You're really not serious."

  Chu Hao made a serious face and said: "I'm telling the truth, my tongue is really hurt."

  Where else could Chu Hao not know that he was teasing himself, Lin Yue'er turned her face away, and the exposed skin on her neck turned red. "I don't want to listen to your nonsense here. Get off the car quickly, or Li Meng will be kept waiting."

  Chu Hao leaned his face closer to Lin Yue'er, and gently took a breath on her head, saying: "Yue'er, you're really heartless. Now my tongue is injured, and you still want me to get off the car."

  Lin Yue'er knew that Chu Hao had gone to find trouble with those people before, but he didn't tell her about it and she wouldn't ask more questions. In this world, men do things and women are wives, as long as they stand behind their husbands well. Although Lin Yue'er used to have many ideas and was a thoughtful girl, love is like a poison that corrodes thinking, making women's wisdom infinitely lower.

  At this moment, Chu Hao occupies a large part of Lin Yue'er's heart, where can she consider others? So, after hearing Chu Hao's words, Lin Yue'er couldn't help but believe it a bit, looking around and saying: "Really?"

  Chu Hao nodded and said, "Of course it's true, you see, they're all swollen now."

  He stuck out his tongue and put on a sly look.

  "Ugly to death!" Lin Yue'er scolded, then looked serious, scanning up and down before her face tensed up again: "It's really swollen, with several blisters. What did you do? Were you poisoned? Does it hurt? Quickly put it back, if the wind blows and it gets worse, what can be done? You...you're still smiling, what are you smiling about?"

  She is really an innocent girl.

  Chu Hao just circulated his internal energy, causing the fire to surge up to the tip of his tongue. Seeing Lin Yue'er looking tense as if she was about to hit him, Chu Hao immediately retracted his tongue and waved his hand, saying: "It doesn't hurt, it's very easy to treat, but someone needs to cooperate."

  Lin Yue'er asked curiously: "How to treat and cooperate?"

  Chu Hao's face sank as he said, "This is indeed poison, a very potent and rare toxin. It requires the lips of a virgin to suck it out in order to cure it. The method is also very simple, Yue Er, you just need to use your mouth to suck on my tongue tip a few times and that's it. However, this toxin is extremely potent, if it's not treated within three days, there's a high possibility of death."

  Hearing Chu Hao's words, Lin Yue'er's face turned red again, but the second half of the sentence made her exclaim: "So serious?"

  Chu Hao nodded and said, "Yes, that's exactly why I didn't dare tell you the truth earlier."

  Lin Yue'er raised an eyebrow and asked, "Really? You're not trying to take advantage of me?"

  "When did I ever lie to you?" Chu Hao said with a twisted mouth, his face somewhat gloomy, as if Lin Yue'er's distrust had dealt him a blow, making him very unhappy. "Besides, this is the same as Jiao Na saving Kong Xuejia, both are very noble things."

  Lin Yue'er waved her small hand and said, "No, no, I didn't mean that..." She hesitated for a moment, her pretty face flushing red, before lowering her head and stammering, "You just said that to save you, you need the kiss of a virgin... but I, I... I'm not..."

  Chu Hao's eyes widened, his face changed color, and he felt a pang in his heart. "What do you mean I'm not?"

  Lin Yue'er was so embarrassed that she almost died, and then took out her sharp fingernails and pinched Chu Hao's waist again, saying angrily: "Wasn't I already... by you... that thing...?" Her voice trailed off towards the end, getting smaller and smaller.

  "What? How could I have known?" Chu Hao exclaimed in shock.

  Lin Yue'er's small face immediately turned pale, pointing at Chu Hao, her anger surged to her head, and with some unknown courage, she blurted out: "You... you scoundrel, that night didn't you already... now don't you want me anymore, thinking of denying it..."

  Her heart was bitter and she was on the verge of tears, her small face flushed red, as if she might erupt at any moment.

  Chu Hao suddenly understood Lin Yue'er's meaning. He was almost wronged to death, feeling that this little girl had always thought he had occupied her body. Heaven and earth were witness, a dignified gentleman like him, how could he do such a shameful thing? --- Alright, I admit I've thought about it, but not yet!

  He burst out laughing, but this laughter made Lin Yue'er even more ashamed: "What are you laughing at? Don't laugh!"

  "Chu Hao said: 'Yue Er, you are really too lovely, I like you more and more.'"

  "Who wants you to like it? I don't want a scoundrel like you to like me. Get out of the car, I won't bother with you!"

  Chu Hao originally wanted to tell Lin Yue'er about the matter, but after some thought, he decided not to tell her for now. He shook his head and said, "I forgot to mention earlier that besides virgins, couples who are deeply in love or lovers can also cure it." He blinked his eyes and said, "Do you want to watch me die from poisoning in agony?"

  Looking at Lin Yue'er's silence, Chu Hao said painfully: "Alright then, since you won't, forget it. I'll go find Liu Li, he should be fine. A virgin doesn't distinguish between men and women."

  "You... how can you go find Liu Li, he's a man." Lin Yue'er heard this and pulled him back.

  Chu Hao's heart was delighted. Lin Yue'er seemed to understand that sucking tongues should be a matter between men and women. He said, "Then I'll go find Xiao Die, it's the same."

  "You can't go find Xiao Die either, she's the closest person to me, I won't let you harm her."

  Chu Hao smiled secretly in his heart, but said on the surface: "I'm just an antidote, how can you say I'm a disaster?" He spread out his hands and said helplessly: "This won't do, that won't do, it's all just sending me to my death."

  "It would be better if you were dead, you heartless person!" Lin Yue'er wiped the corner of her eye, with a hint of bitterness in her heart, still remembering Chu Hao's excuse earlier. She said: "That day outside the capital, that singing woman, was she someone you knew from Cuimonth Residence?"

  Chu Hao did not expect Lin Yue'er to ask about this, after so long, this little girl actually still remembered.

  He could only say: "It should be, but who specifically, Xiaowang can't remember either."

  Lin Yue'er said stubbornly: "You must remember, wasn't she very beautiful?"

  "It's very pretty." Chu Hao thought of Xia Xing's stunning and charming appearance, then looked at Lin Yue'er's serious expression, secretly muttered a guilty conscience, and honestly replied.

  "Is she prettier than me?" Lin Yue'er proudly said with her chest out.

  Lin Yue'er is indeed a stunning beauty, and it's not an exaggeration to say she's a rare gem. Especially her personality, daring to love and hate, dare to act and be herself, and after opening up to Chu Hao, she followed him out of the capital without hesitation, in a very straightforward manner. It was precisely this that made Chu Hao's feelings for her change from pity to affection. However, judging by her own standards, her bust is still a bit small, which is also due to her young age, and after a few years, she shouldn't be inferior to that stunning little girl.

  However, that stunning girl looked ordinary that night, and I don't know how much material she had.

  Lin Yue didn't know about the shameless thoughts in Chu Hao's heart, seeing him silent and anxious, she grabbed his arm and asked: "Is it that I'm not as good as her?"

  "No, you're still young now and can't be compared with her. After a few years, you'll definitely be thousands of times more beautiful than her." Chu Hao said.

  Lin Yue'er's face lit up with a smile as her worried expression vanished: "Really?"

  "Definitely, and absolutely!" Chu Hao saw that she was excited again, and his heart also relaxed a bit, nodding firmly.

  "I knew it, I won't be worse than others!" Lin Yue'er hummed softly and said.

  At this time, Li Meng shouted again outside. Chu Hao knew that he couldn't stay inside any longer. As the young master, he still had to maintain his dignity. The horse carriage had stopped for so long and it was time to get off.

  Just as Chu Hao was about to get off, Lin Yue'er hastily pulled him back and said, "You... come to my room tonight."

  "What!" Chu Hao was shocked, although he had been running to Lin Yue'er's room frequently during this period, but it was all his own initiative. This time, Lin Yue'er invited him over, and her tone was so ambiguous.

  How can this be good? I'm not a casual person, isn't all of this happening too quickly?

  "Oh my, where did you think of that!" Lin Yue'er's face turned bright red, her heart racing extremely fast, she hastily explained: "I... I was just detoxifying for you, didn't you say that two people who love each other... can also do it... You, you're not allowed to go find Xiao Die!"

  Chu Hao gazed at Lin Yue'er's appearance, his heart skipped a beat, and he nodded: "Alright, even if there are thousands of troops blocking my way, I will still break through tonight and come to your room for treatment!"

  "You're too much!" Lin Yue'er couldn't bear Chu Hao's shameless words, she slowly lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Chu Hao. Then she muttered: "And...and I cured you, so you can't just abandon me... or else, I'll keep following you, pestering you, annoying you, making you not dare to abandon me again!"

  Soft and sweet voice, delicate and charming appearance.

  I'm dead, I'm dead. Before I could even die from poisoning, I was killed by this little girl's sweet talk. He felt that his pickup action in this world had completely failed, the first time he tried to pick up a girl, but ended up being picked up instead.

  Looking at Lin Yue'er's serious and determined appearance, Chu Hao was so moved that he wanted to cry. He felt both heartache and pity for her, thinking: "Yue'er, don't worry, I will absolutely always protect you and never abandon you! I, Ling Fei, swear on the name of the Zhù Qì Mén!"
