The fake daughter of a fallen ghost is reborn

Huo Wuyou put his finger on his chin and thought seriously: "If there hadn't been the assassination yesterday, I might not have guessed this way."

"We can't let this happen." Xue Zhiyi said.

In this life, she wants Huo Wuyou to live.

Looking at her expression, she seemed to be more determined.

Huo Wuyou looked puzzled for a moment, but did not ask any further questions. He only said, "As a brother, if I watch her fall into the hands of her enemies, I would be unworthy of being a human being."

"Let's find a solution together." Xue Zhiyi said, and then added: "The princess helped me before, and I don't want her to suffer."

Huo Wuyou was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "No matter what happens, as long as you and I are together, we can be like before, without any danger."

Xue Zhiyi's eyes moved slightly and he avoided the gaze from the person beside him.

Although she was sure of her feelings for Huo Wuyou, she was still a little embarrassed. She tried to change the subject: "Actually... there will be someone else who is more anxious about the marriage than us."

"Hmm?" Huo Wuyou waited for her to continue.

"Concubine Wu Lifei," she said, "She may not know the true purpose of the Beidi marriage, and her daughter is the only unmarried princess in Dayong. It is reasonable for her to worry that Princess Pingzhang will be the candidate for the marriage."

After that, she comforted him, "But maybe we are just worrying too much. Beidi may really just want to marry him?"

Hearing this, Huo Wuyou's worried look did not diminish: "I hope we are just worrying too much."

As he spoke, he sighed again: "But in fact, the best outcome of this matter is that no one will marry into the alliance. After all, the two countries have negotiated peace before, but it was forgotten after a few years. If Gu Ruxuan marries into the alliance, she will be dead if the two countries go to war again."

Xue Zhiyi sighed: "Yes, no matter who you choose, they will die."

Looking at the water, Huo Wuyou thought silently: But if the Northern Di really wanted to do this, their emperor would definitely agree. He is the best at using other people's lives to do favors, so what if his own daughter or niece? When Yanming Pass was defeated, he also wanted to implicate his own sister's family.

"Are you awake?" Xue Zhiyi asked him.

Huo Wuyou came back to his senses: "What?"

Xue Zhiyi said, "We just discussed all the important matters here in the wilderness, where no one can eavesdrop. Now that we have finished discussing, it is time for you to wake up. Let's go back to Huajing along the upstream direction. If we don't set off now, I am afraid we won't be able to return before dark today."

"Who said all the important matters have been explained?" Huo Wuyou said.

Xue Zhiyi was puzzled: "Does Marquis Lin'an have anything else to tell me?"

Unexpectedly, this title made Huo Wuyou's face change: "Why is he the Marquis of Lin'an again?"

Xue Zhiyi asked him: "Why? Did your title get promoted last night?"

He said confidently: "You didn't call me that last night. Do you remember how many times you called me by my name yesterday? I thought you changed your words to me!"

"Marquis of Lin'an." Xue Zhiyi called him again: "If you don't want to be the Marquis of Wanhu, then give the title to someone who needs it. This is the first time I've heard of someone who doesn't like being called Marquis."

"It's too distant." Huo Wuyou said, "Our relationship is not suitable."

"What's inappropriate?" Xue Zhiyi asked him back: "What's the relationship between us?"

"We've slept in each other's arms." He answered without hesitation.

"..." Xue Zhiyi was speechless for a moment.

Will she be threatened by Huo Wuyou with this reason for the rest of her life?

This guy is too troublesome. She doesn't want to like him anymore. When she fainted, she hoped he would wake up, but when he woke up, she felt that it would be better to stay unconscious.

Huo Wuyou sat closer: "You really don't have that kind of feelings towards me?"

Xue Zhiyi did not answer.

He then moved closer and continued to ask, "Why are you so nice to me?"

Xue Zhiyi just clenched his fists and pushed him away with his elbow: "Stay away from me."

Huo Wuyou looked hurt: "When did you say something so hurtful?"

Xue Zhiyi said in annoyance: "The boat is tilted!"

The two of them keep squeezing together. If they don't stay away from her, this little broken boat will capsize.

Huo Wuyou then realized what was happening and moved away.

But he felt that Xue Zhiyi was extremely cute at this moment. His face and ears were clearly red, but he still pursed his lips, unwilling to look at him, tilted his head, and held his breath.

Reason told him not to provoke Xue Zhiyi again, but his mouth moved faster than his brain, and he asked in a mean way: "You hugged me and looked at me, but you really don't intend to take responsibility for me?"

Xue Zhiyi couldn't help himself, so he turned around and pushed him: "Huo Wuyou!"

She hit and yelled at him, but Huo Wuyou looked refreshed: "Yes! Yes, that's it!"

Is there something wrong with him since he likes being beaten and scolded so much?

As she moved, the boat shook violently...

"Be careful! Don't move!" Huo Wuyou said hurriedly.

Xue Zhiyi's breath also choked, and he quickly grabbed his collar to steady himself. Huo Wuyou also almost subconsciously grabbed Xue Zhiyi's waist.

Even so, the two of them still bumped their heads together due to the shaking of the boat...

But they could only freeze and not move, to prevent the boat from really capsizing.

But in this posture, Xue Zhiyi was almost half leaning on Huo Wuyou, and Huo Wuyou's arms also supported her steadily.

Their heads were still aching, but at this moment, both of them almost ignored the pain.

Their faces were so close, so close that when their eyes met, even their breathing seemed to be intertwined.

The boat gradually stopped shaking, but they seemed to be fixed by something, and their eyes were intertwined with each other, with no intention of separating at all.

Xue Zhiyi only felt his heart beating rapidly, but his breathing slowed down unconsciously.

The pair of auspicious phoenix eyes in front of him were slightly raised, and he looked up at her. Without that playful smile, he just looked at her seriously, slowly moving down from her eyebrows and eyelashes to her lips, and then slowly looking at her eyes.

Through the thin clothes, she could feel his body temperature, which was as hot as his eyes.

Xue Zhiyi's hand unconsciously moved from his to the spine at the back of his neck, and then slowly moved to his earlobe.

Feeling the invitation she extended, Huo Wuyou's eyelashes trembled a few times, and a soft smile appeared in his eyes. The hand behind her waist suddenly tightened a little, making her body unexpectedly close to him.

There was a moment of panic, and Xue Zhiyi's heart trembled.

Her forehead rested lightly against his, and their noses vaguely touched.

Xue Zhiyi thought, this moment is probably called... being infatuated?

Probably so.

At this moment, she was so passionate that she had no time to think about anything else. She only had a strong urge to get close to him...
