"Jing Rui, I hope you won't mind... in the future." Shangguan Wan Ning's voice was trembling.
Mu Jingrui hugged Shangguan Wan Ning distressedly. "Fool, I... I'm just afraid of wronging you."
Shangguan Wan Ning forced a smile and whispered: "Turn around."
Mu Jingrui had no choice but to look at the Holy Son.
The Holy Son just smiled faintly, picked up the black scarf from the altar table, covered his eyes, and turned his body away.
Mu Jingrui stared deeply at Shangguan Wan Ning and warned softly: "If you notice something is wrong, just scream loudly and I will protect you."
Shangguan Wanning nodded.
After Mu Jingrui turned his back, the girl came forward and helped Shangguan Wan Ning to the holy pool, and gently took off her clothes.
Although neither man could see her, she still felt uncomfortable and even a little ashamed.
She hugged herself with her arms and carefully stepped into the holy pool.
The water in the pool was freezing cold. When her toes touched the water, Shangguan Wanning shivered involuntarily.
She took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to slowly walk towards the middle of the pool.
When Shangguan Wan Ning felt that she was about to freeze, the two girls also undressed and walked down.
One of them held a dagger, the other held a small bowl, and separated Shangguan Wan Ning's wrists.
Blood flowed out of the body bit by bit, and Shangguan Wanning felt some vague pain.
When the girl handed Shangguan Wanning's blood to the Holy Son, the Holy Son placed the blood on the altar, made a few strange movements, then knelt down in front of the altar and muttered something.
Mu Jingrui had no interest in this ancient and mysterious witchcraft at all. He hadn't heard Shangguan Wan Ning's voice for a long time, and could only hear faint breathing.
He was uneasy.
"Ning'er, how are you? Ning'er? Answer me."
"Jing Rui, I'm fine..." Shangguan Wan Ning felt very cold, and her voice was trembling slightly.
As soon as she finished speaking, the mountain suddenly shook in the altar, and some huge rocks rolled down from the top.
Mu Jingrui was shocked, he jumped over and heard a scream.
He couldn't help but look back, and saw a young girl being crushed under a boulder, her flesh and blood mangled. The Holy Son continued the ceremony indifferently, pouring Shangguan Wanning's blood on the mirror.
The boulder was still rolling down, and it was about to head towards the holy pool. Mu Jingrui couldn't care about anything else.
He used Qinggong and headed towards the holy pool, picked up the clothes on the ground, fished Shangguan Wan Ning out of the pool, and quickly wrapped her in clothes.
At this time, Shangguan Wan Ning was already a little confused. She felt the warmth of Mu Jingrui's body and subconsciously hid in his arms.
"Ning'er?" Mu Jingrui didn't know if there was something wrong with Shangguan Wan Ning. He wanted to slap himself twice.
How much water must have entered his brain before he agreed to the Holy Son's request?
"If anything happens to Ning'er, I want everyone from the barbarian tribe to bury you with you." Mu Jingrui said harshly, hugged Shangguan Wan Ning and left the altar.
When he returned to the inn, Mi Si immediately greeted him and asked with a smile, "General Mu, is everything going well?"
"It's all going well!" Mu Jingrui couldn't help but cursed, "You'd better burn incense and pray to God to bless Ning'er and be safe, otherwise... hmph!"
Mu Jingrui ignored Mi Si and carried Shangguan Wan Ning into the inn.
He asked his maid to help her get dressed, and immediately summoned a military doctor to diagnose and treat Shangguan Wan Ning.
"How is she?" Mu Jingrui was so nervous that he held his breath and asked eagerly.
The military doctor stood up and raised his hands and said: "General Mu, please don't worry. Miss Shangguan fainted because she stayed in an environment with too low temperature for a long time. She will wake up after a bowl of hot soup to calm her down."
"Is there really nothing else wrong with her body?"
"Don't worry, it's not."
Mu Jingrui let out a long sigh of relief.
He dismissed the military doctor with a wave of his hand, personally fed Shangguan Wan Ning hot soup, and stayed by her side until she slowly woke up.
"Where... am I?" Shangguan Wanning's voice was still very weak.
She looked around, and the scene of Mu Jingrui fishing her out of the holy pool reappeared in her mind.
She was then...
Shangguan Wan Ning's face quickly turned red.
Although in her memory, the scene of physical intimacy with Mu Jingrui in her previous life was still clear, but...
She couldn't help but pull the quilt to wrap herself up, raised her eyes to look at Mu Jingrui secretly, and reprimanded coquettishly: "You...how could you...go out, I don't want to see you."
As soon as Mu Jingrui saw Shangguan Wan Ning's look, he guessed what she was thinking.
The corners of his mouth raised into a sinister smile.
"But...I have already seen you..."
"Mu Jingrui, don't say anything." Shangguan Wan Ning buried her face in the quilt.
Mu Jingrui smiled and pulled off the quilt, hugged Shangguan Wan Ning into his arms, let her hide in his arms, and whispered: "Okay, I won't say anything in the future. But I want you to remember that you will be here for the rest of your life."
...It can only be mine."
Shangguan Wan Ning pressed her face against Mu Jingrui's chest, listening to his steady heartbeat, and nodded gently.
She probably really can't escape.
Whether it's the past life or this life.
"You have a good rest and I'll go take care of some other things. If there are no accidents, we will be able to go back soon."
Mu Jingrui pulled Shangguan Wan Ning out of his arms and kissed her gently on the forehead. "After arriving in the capital, I will immediately go to your house to propose marriage and complete our engagement."
Shangguan Wan Ning lay back obediently, closed her eyes and rested peacefully.
Mu Jingrui sent someone to inquire about the situation of the altar and learned that the Holy Son had come out, but the four girls accompanying him were all crushed to death.
His eyes darkened, and a strong murderous aura flashed across his eyes.
This guy may have known that something like this would happen, but he completely ignored the life and death of others and only cared about himself.
Mu Jingrui clenched his fists. If he hadn't been there at that time, Shangguan Wan Ning would have suffered the same fate as the four girls.
From beginning to end, the Holy Son did not explain all the facts and possible risks.
"General Mu?"
The call from his subordinates brought back Mu Jingrui's thoughts. "General Mu, do you have any other orders?"
"Send the order. Tomorrow, the class teacher will return to the court."
"yes."
This is definitely exciting news.
Returning triumphant is the highest honor for anyone who fights on the battlefield.
The night was fading, and everything was silent.
Mu Jingrui put Shangguan Wanning to sleep, then returned to his room and stared at the sword in a daze.
After a long time, he took off his sword and pulled it out. The cold light reflected on his face.
He frowned slightly, made a decision, raised his sword and jumped out of the window.
