Chapter 1244: 608 couple (2nd watch)_2

Gu Chengfeng curled his lips and huffed, "Give me back my whip."

"No way," Gu Jiao decisively claimed the whip as her own.

Gu Chengfeng: "..."

Isn’t a Red-Tasseled Spear enough for you? Now you’re even stealing my whip!

Gu Chengfeng glared at her secretly, thinking, I’ll steal it back when we return!

Although they were in a high enough position, there was no guarantee that a second wave of mudslides wouldn’t come rushing over; they still needed to leave as quickly as possible.

Gu Chengfeng grabbed one with each hand and, using his lightness skill, started leaping towards the mountain peaks ahead.

Wait a minute, something felt off.

Gu Chengfeng gritted his teeth with effort, "You girl, what have you been eating recently! Why are you so heavy now!"

Gu Jiao, playing with her newly acquired whip, replied, "Not at all, if you’re not up to it, just say so."

A man never admits he’s incapable!

Gu Chengfeng almost pulled his hair out in frustration: "It’s— because— you— got— heavier—"

Can’t— do— it— he— can’t— carry— them— anymore! _{fгeewebnovёl.com}

Just as the three of them were about to tumble down, Long Yi swooshed by and took Gu Jiao from Gu Chengfeng’s hands.

Gu Jiao, caught off guard by being snatched away: "..."

Long Yi, weren’t you off to rescue Lord Xuanping? Why the hell are you grabbing me now!

I agreed to bring Gu Chengfeng just so you wouldn’t grab me!

Meanwhile, Long Yi had grabbed one as well.

Lord Xuanping glanced sideways and, upon seeing Gu Jiao, waved: "Daughter-in-law, hello— whoa—"

Gu Jiao also waved back: "Hello— whoa—"

Before they could finish their greetings, both were turned into sad frogs with mouths agape, unable to close them because of the wind and rain blowing right at their faces.

Gu Chengfeng was left far behind; he was utterly confounded!

How deadly, carrying two people and still running so fast! Are you made of wind?

A man swift as the wind, aren’t you!

Long Yi cut through the woods, and it was a long way off. By the time he arrived at the nearest post station with Gu Jiao and Lord Xuanping, Xiao Hen had already changed clothes inside the house.

Lord Xuanping caught sight of Princess Xinyang commanding her servants to boil water and prepare medicine under the porch.

The clothes fit both men fairly well. Liao Quan, with a bit of a middle-aged belly, couldn’t wear Xiao Hen’s clothing, so he found a set from the guards.

Looking at the clothes in his hand, Lord Xuanping addressed Princess Xinyang at the door, "Indeed, you wouldn’t have brought my clothes."

Princess Xinyang’s expression darkened. You speak as if I would have brought your clothes if I had them!

Lord Xuanping looked at Princess Xinyang with a smirk that was neither a smile nor a frown: "Qin Fengwan, did you come especially to rescue me?"

The more he spoke, the more Princess Xinyang wanted to punch him!

Without hiding her annoyance, Princess Xinyang retorted, "I came to rescue my son!" Can’t you stop thinking you’re the center of the universe?

"Oh," Lord Xuanping raised his eyebrows, placing the clothes on the table, "I don’t believe that."

Princess Xinyang: "..."

How has this man managed to become more shameless with each passing year?

To avoid getting angry to the point of illness, Princess Xinyang decided to ignore him!

Princess Xinyang then went to the room where Gu Jiao and the rescued baby were located.

Gu Jiao had already changed into fresh clothes and was treating the infant.

"How is it going?" Princess Xinyang asked as she entered the room.

Gu Jiao opened the first-aid kit, took out a stethoscope, and said, "The bones are fine. There are some scratches and grazes, slight dehydration, a high fever—that’s all I can tell for now. I heard the well was pretty deep; this baby is lucky to survive."
