Chapter 1366: Chapter 1346: Did He Make a Wedding Dress for Him?
His throat couldn’t help but constrict a few times!
Hearing the "gulping" sounds, the Empress was even more embarrassed.
Quickly drying herself, she lay down in the straw-covered bedding.
It must be said, it was indeed quite warm inside.
As soon as she got in, her delicate body stopped shivering.
"Brother Ye, I’m done drying, you should go dry yourself too." The Empress said, her face flush with embarrassment.
"Okay."
Ye Huan coughed twice, hurriedly dispelling some inappropriate images from his mind, took off his shirt revealing his muscular and explosive physique, wiped himself briefly with straw, then removed his soaked sweatpants and began drying himself.
From the Empress’s perspective, she could see Ye Huan’s back and arm muscles quite clearly and completely.
Ye Huan’s muscles didn’t seem large but strangely felt very balanced, making each muscle seem perfectly proportioned, full of power, and making one’s heart itch.
The Empress’s face turned crimson red, she didn’t want to peek at Ye Huan, yet her eyes couldn’t divert from his back muscles, her heart racing uncontrollably, her pulse skyrocketing!
If it were any other man, she wouldn’t spare a glance.
But Ye Huan was different, not only could she not look away, she even wanted to reach out her hand, to touch those muscles that stirred her emotions!
But she knew, she couldn’t!
It would be mortifying!
The Empress knew well, the attraction Ye Huan held for her was overwhelming.
If she looked any longer, she might really be overwhelmed with impulse and reach out, causing some irreparable embarrassment.
To distract herself, the Empress opened the conversation with an alluring voice, "Brother Ye, where are we heading tomorrow?"
"Six-Doors Sect."
"I have a friend I’ve known for nearly ten years, her family dragged her back for a marriage she is deeply opposed to, I need to go ask about the situation."
"I’ve heard her family... no, rather, it’s more appropriate to call it a faction, the people backing her faction wear emblems with six doors; when I first heard it, I instinctively thought of the Six-Doors Sect marked on the map. Coupled with the fact that the messenger informed me she was indeed taken southwest. Therefore, I think our destination is the ancient martial arts power located at the southeastern edge of the Endless Deep Mountains — Six-Doors Sect."
Ye Huan studied the parchment map by the firelight.
Fortunately, the sheepskin used for this map wasn’t fake, after being soaked by river water, besides the text being slightly blurred, the rest remained intact.
The headquarters of the Six-Doors Sect is located on a peak called "Wuya Peak," and at the foot of this peak lies a small town named "Wuya Town."
This town is a necessary path to reach the Six-Doors Sect.
Ye Huan immediately decided to head to this town tomorrow to gather intelligence and then decide on further actions.
In any case, the priority is to find Ye Bingning!
As Ye Huan thought about this, his phone rang briefly.
Liu Tianyun sent a text: "I’ve tasted the drink produced by the Rothschild-affiliated company, it has excellent color, aroma, and taste. I’ve signed a collaboration order worth 15 billion with Ms. Diana, and we’ll continue to strengthen cooperation in the future."
The content of this text suddenly shifted, "Be careful when outside!"
Although the message only had seven simple characters, it was clear how concerned she was.
Ye Huan felt warmth in his heart and breathed a sigh of relief.
Luckily, his phone was the waterproof, fireproof, and theft-proof model; otherwise, he would’ve lost contact with Liu Tianyun and the others.
Ye Huan smiled and replied, "Rest assured."
Then, he placed his phone aside and looked at the Empress, "We’ll depart for Wuya Town after waking up tomorrow morning."
After speaking, he lit several more fires, thoroughly wrung out the water from the clothes he and the Empress had taken off, and placed them near the fire to dry, intending to lie down afterwards.
At this moment, the Empress gave him a "sharp" glance, patted the space beside her, and hummed, "Come in and sleep, you’ll catch a cold outside. Besides, didn’t we already lie together last night? We’re not doing anything, don’t be shy."
Though she said so, in truth, she was the most embarrassed.
Ye Huan thought for a moment, feeling the Empress’s words made sense — having lain together yesterday meant that lying together today wouldn’t change anything.
With this thought, he didn’t hesitate and got into the straw.
Immediately, his old face couldn’t help but turn hot, and the Empress’s reaction was similar.
Ye Huan and the Empress discovered that the current situation was completely different from last night!
Last night, at least they were fully clothed.
Now?
All armors were off!
Defense was at zero!
Moreover, the straw-covered bedding was so small that their arms couldn’t help but touch each other, which made them anxious whenever it happened!
They pretended to sleep in unison, but neither had the mind to sleep, completely unable to fall asleep!
It can be said that they were both enduring "pain" from each other!
...
"What the heck is happening!"
"Why are today’s Guardians so fierce, and their numbers so large?"
"This is too outrageous!"
Late at night.
At the southwestern edge of the Endless Mountains in Huaxia, there’s a small basin filled with tents and campfires.
This is a Guardian’s encampment site in the deep mountains.
Wang Dahai and everyone who joined his team were now tied up tightly in the center of an open space in the camp.
These people whispered to each other, cursing inwardly.
Before entering the mountains, they hadn’t anticipated encountering so many Guardians!
