Chapter 3 One Millimeter Apart

  Ling Shuiyang seemed to be lost in thought, listening to her conversation with Ali earlier. It must have been like what Ali said earlier - she had made a bet with Ali: "If... then Yun Xiao will belong to me. If I lose, Hei Lang will belong to you."

  "What?" He thought of it: "I won't make Yun Xiao a bet. Never will!"

  "What? No confidence?"

  "It's not that I don't have confidence. It's just that I won't use Yun Xiao as a bet!"

  "So, what do you want to bet on?"

  "What's good to bet on? I've never really bet on anything in my life. 'Bet on one thing.'"

  "Something?"

  "Whoever loses does something for the other person."

  Doesn't she know how big the sky is and how thick the earth is? Does she have this ability?

  Ling Shuiyue flew onto his horse and raised his right hand: "A word is final!"

  Muxi Xue raised her left hand and slapped it on Ling Shuiyue's hand.

  Clap hands in agreement!

  "You're a girl! You run five seconds first and then I'll start!"

  Is that arrogant? Alright, Musui Xue was worried about his poor riding skills, but hearing Ling Shuiyue say this made him happy. However, he immediately became wary: "What if I only win by five seconds, who would be considered the winner?"

  "It must be you who wins! The first five seconds don't count."

  "Ari, you have to testify!" Musi Xue couldn't hide the smile at the corner of her mouth.

  Ali smiled triumphantly: "Hmm. I'll be the witness! I'll be the judge! Do you see the lake?... Go around it from the left side, whoever runs back first wins."

  ——————&&&——————&&&——————

  As Ali's word "start" fell, Mu Si Xue's hand left Yun Xiao's ear and her body quickly merged into the speed of "Yun Xiao".

  Five seconds later, Ling Shuiyue followed behind him.

  It feels great on horseback.

  Not far away, the thick and thin fog surrounded the forest like a ribbon, green was divided into light blue, light green, emerald green, dark green, black green, extending to the back of the towering blue mountain peaks, and the lake was just under that piece of forest.

  Ling Shui thought of Muxi Xue's back, his line of sight never leaving Muxi Xue. She always made him stunned, the charming her last night, the handsome her today.

  Ling Shui couldn't help but exclaim: She and Yun Xiao were simply one entity, he had no idea that the seemingly weak her was actually so harmonious and beautiful in speed.

  In her heart, Xue has been telling herself all along, don't look back, look ahead, don't look back! Don't look back!

  But she still couldn't help but look back.

  Good heavens! I thought it was at least thirty meters away, but it's only about ten meters.

  You have to work harder!

  Moxi Xue was only thinking about how to hurry up, but didn't notice that there was a beehive fallen from the tree in the grass in front of him.

  A cloud presses down with one foot, and horseflies rise in all directions.

  The horse's belly, legs, head, neck... all couldn't avoid being stung by the wasps.

  The cloud suddenly startled and convulsed. A loud cry, the hind legs touched the ground, the front legs rose into the air, standing upright like a boxer throwing a punch.

  Luckily, Musi Xue's reins were pulled tight, otherwise, with Yun Xiao's fierce strength, she would have been thrown off the horse.

  The girl's face turned pale with fright as she clutched the reins tightly, sticking to the horse's back and not daring to move.

  Ling Shuiyue saw the dangerous scene behind him, stopped breathing, and his heart jumped to his throat. He looked back at Muxi Xue and made sure she hadn't been thrown out by Yunxia's whip before taking a deep breath and following closely behind.

  But at this time, the cloud was not something that Hei Lang could catch up to. It took its master and charged straight into the forest in front of them, rushing towards the valley...

  "The cloud demon" sped rapidly on the small path, without any sign of stopping. Musui Xue's hand became increasingly cold and stiff, endless fear surged towards her like a landslide.

  How did you get startled while running so well? When can you stop?

  She didn't know where Yun Xiao was going to take her, and her hand gripping the reins became increasingly stiff.

  The air feels cooler and more humid, the originally blue sky gradually turns gray, possibly because she has entered the mountains. The refreshing wind sweeps across her face, waking up her brain which was hot due to fear and tension.

  She can't just let "Yun Xiao" run like this, she has to do something. But what to do, what if it becomes even more crazy?

  After careful consideration, Musi Xue felt that he must jump off Yun Xiao's back, but at this speed...

  It seems a bit slower. Musi Xue looked at the trees passing by her side and could already see the tree trunks clearly.

  In front of a place with thick fallen leaves, Muxi Snow held her breath and slowly loosened the stirrup...

  What does she want to do?

  Just as Yun Xiao was no longer galloping, Ling Shuiyue saw Mu Si Xue about to loosen the stirrup: "Don't let go!"

  Muxi Xue heard Ling Shuiyao shouting loudly behind her, and the fear in her heart dissipated a lot. Although she didn't hear what he was shouting, she didn't make any more moves, but instead grasped the reins in her hand even tighter, like an old cunning master.

  Ling Rao Yue and Hei Lang finally ran ahead of Yun Xiao. Perhaps it was because Yun Xiao and Hei Lang's feelings were really good, or perhaps the pain on Yun Xiao's body had eased, but Yun Xiao's speed actually slowed down along with Hei Lang.

  Under the leadership of the black wolf, the two horses finally stopped.

  Ling Shuiyue dismounted, but saw Musi Xue still sitting on the horse, refusing to get down. He must have been scared stiff. Ling thought of saying something to ease the tension: "Wanting to win is one thing, but you can't be so desperate... not even a bet..."

  Ling Shuiyue's words trailed off as she choked back her emotions, tears welling up on her pale face.

  He walked forward, wanting to stretch out his hand and carry Mu Si Xue down.

  After last night's lesson, Musashi's body slightly leaned back to avoid Ling Shuiyue's arm, but unexpectedly, she almost fell off the horse.

  Ling Shuiyue saw the situation and slightly furrowed his sword-like eyebrows. He knew why Musi Xue would have that kind of reaction.

  Don't you see what's going on now? Does she have any room for choice? Ling Shuiyue was tall and had long arms, he reached out to pick her up from the horse.

  Muxi Xue was almost stuck to Ling Shuiyue's body, her legs were on the ground, but she didn't want to leave him. Her whole person was like a spider sticking to Ling Shuiyue. It wasn't until now that she realized she couldn't be apart from him, let alone a man who made her feel safe.

  Ling Shui's gentle touch ignited a flame in her heart, and she suddenly felt filled with tenderness and love.

  A faint scent slowly invaded Ling Shuiyue's mind, and he couldn't help but bury his head in Muxi Xue's neck, greedily sniffing.

  She looks like an ugly monster.

  So itchy! So hot!

  Ling Shui's sudden and urgent breathing woke up Musi Xue.

  She wanted to leave his arms, but her body was tightly wrapped in his: "I'm fine! Thank you!"

  Ling Shui slowly let go of his hand, his voice hoarse: "Let's head back."

  "Uh-huh."

  Ling Shuiyue pulled over "Yun Sha", looking at the still slightly trembling Musi Xue, how could she possibly ride a horse alone: "Mind if we let 'Hei Lang' carry us together?"

  At dusk, I thought of riding with Ling Shuiyue, but I was also afraid to ride with him. What if he suddenly became violent and kicked me off the horse while we were walking?

  Muzi Xue hesitated. Ling Shuiyue stretched out his hand and wrapped it around Muzi Xue's waist, placing her on the horseback, then flew up onto the horse, embracing her in his arms: "Don't worry! I guarantee I won't throw you off!"
