Chapter 292: Chapter 171 Miaomiao, I Like You! (Sweet Chapter)

The sound of hooves clanged, shattering clods of mud into flowers.

Forests along the way flashed by in a blur, scenes flew past, and under Yelü Miaomiao’s skilled and exquisite horsemanship, the steed was both fast and stable, turning the mountains and vegetation into a fuzzy backdrop.

Jiang Shouzhong lightly sniffed with his nose, the air around him fragrant with the subtle and elegant scent of the young girl’s hair.

Gazing at the spirited young girl, visions of her galloping across the grasslands couldn’t help but arise in the man’s mind—

Her garments fluttered, her long hair billowed, hooves shattered the green grass, causing ripples to spread out, painting a poetic and picturesque scroll of the grasslands with the blue sky, white clouds, green grass, and yellow flowers.

That unrestrained and nimble grace, like a pearl on the grassland, her eyes and brows brimming with pride and elegance.

For a moment, the man’s heart quivered lightly, as if an invisible string was plucked gently at this moment.

The love between a man and a woman is quite wondrous, like a complex and delicate tapestry.

There is the warmth of a gentle and long-lasting stream, quiet as a brook in the mountains, silent yet everlasting.

Just like between him and Ye.

There is the love at first sight that strikes like lightning, illuminating a raging flame of passion in an instant.

Just like with his former wife, Hong’er.

There is the sudden eruption of feelings at a certain moment, like spring flowers blooming under the sun, the barriers of the soul crumbling abruptly.

Like this moment...

Recalling the life-and-death confrontation when they first met, to their current closeness, although there were influences of the magic, the emotional change that happened silently was indeed from the heart.

Whether Yelü Miaomiao or Jiang Shouzhong.

Without affection, seduction would only breed loathing. Without being moved, companionship would only be bland and tasteless.

After all, Yelü Miaomiao was just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.

Her emotions were white as a sheet of paper.

When the black and white colors of hatred on that paper were stripped away bit by bit, painted over with colorful daily trivialities, painted over with vivid memories of life and death... the girl’s eyes naturally shifted from hatred to fondness.

And being a woman of the grasslands, she was naturally bold in both love and hate.

In that regard, the magic didn’t change anything, it was just catalyzing, punching through the barriers lying between man and woman.

Even if in the end, the ulterior motives were revealed, the lovely process wasn’t erased, and those bits of ambiguous memories between the two remained pink, entwining around each other in countless threads.

Jiang Shouzhong’s hands unconsciously tightened around the girl’s slender and supple waist, and he softly said, "Why don’t you stay?"

"What?"

Amidst the howling wind, Yelü Miaomiao didn’t hear clearly.

Jiang Shouzhong was momentarily lost in thought, but didn’t repeat that sentence, as if it had been tossed into the wind, left far behind them both.

Their statuses were as distant as the heavens and the earth.

The roads beneath their feet ran in starkly opposite directions.

He couldn’t possibly go to Yanrong for her, nor could she stay in Dazhou for him.

After a long while, Jiang Shouzhong loudly said, "I’m telling you, in the future, you have to remember to come to me in a grand palanquin to get married."

"Get lost!"

The girl raised her riding crop as if to strike the man’s leg, but it ultimately only landed on the horse.

The corners of the girl’s lips curved upward slightly.

...

On the road, the two experienced hardships, thankfully without encountering any severe rainstorms or winds.

Whenever they rested in the wilderness, Yelü Miaomiao would lay her head on the man’s legs, gaze at the starry sky, and listen to Jiang Shouzhong talk about knowledge of the stars.

The girl wasn’t interested in the so-called scientific knowledge, only the mythological stories told by the man, like that of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.

What she liked best was a poem recited inadvertently by Jiang Shouzhong.

Called "Fairy of the Magpie Bridge"

The line "If love between both sides can last for aye, why need they stay together night and day?" left the girl intoxicated for a long time, yet couldn’t stop feeling sorrowful.

Occasionally at a lake, Yelü Miaomiao’s playful side would act up, deliberately splashing water on the man, prompting Jiang Shouzhong to fight back, and soon both became drenched like drowned rats.

Every now and then, Yelü Miaomiao would hand in hand teach Jiang Shouzhong some equestrian skills.

In the midst of teaching, the girl would playfully startle the horse, watching the man nearly get tossed off and reveling in his flustered state, then laughing out loud, only to end up being pinned by the man on the horse’s back getting spanked.

Time slipped away in these moments, emotions flowing in the silence...

Three days later, they finally arrived at Fengcheng.

However, to pass through the border, they had to travel to the more remote Longsu Town and Feihu Pass, about half a day’s journey.

"Such a big place, how are we going to find Er Liang?"

Yelü Miaomiao, leading the horse along with Jiang Shouzhong, walked on the bustling streets of the city.

Due to its proximity to the border, the exotic atmosphere resulting from the collision and interweaving of different cultures was especially intense in this city’s streets.

Among the passersby, there were mostly merchants and travelers in colorful clothes, speaking a variety of dialects and jargons. Some carried goods on their shoulders or in their hands, while others drove camels laden with rich merchandise, offering a distinct flavor to Jiang Shouzhong, accustomed to the Capital.

Jiang Shouzhong said, "We can only wait for that woman to find us, or..."

Jiang Shouzhong hesitated for a moment, then suggested, "Why don’t I escort you to Longsu Town first and see you off through the border? How about that?"

"Don’t."

Yelü Miaomiao’s expression changed instantly, and she hurriedly said, "Finding Er Liang is what’s most important. Since we’re already in Fengcheng, it doesn’t matter if it takes a day or two more. I think we should first find an inn to stay in..."

The closer it got to parting, the less the girl wanted to let go, trying to find various excuses to delay.

Jiang Shouzhong smiled and nodded, "Alright, we’ll find an inn to stay in first."

Seeing the smile on the man’s face, as if he had seen through her little scheme, Yelü Miaomiao’s face flushed, and showing her little tiger teeth, she gave the man’s arm a twist, "Still smiling, letting go of an enemy nation’s princess like this, when I lead an army to attack you, you’ll have reason to cry."
