Test It (3)

"I will take responsibility!" Ye Lang said very seriously.

"Responsible my foot! So what if you saw it? It's just a little bit of skin..." Li Yue pretended to be indifferent.

"Yes, I want to take responsibility! How about you become my girlfriend, or after this is over, I'll propose to the Li Family." Ye Lang remained serious.

"Go to hell! You wish!!" Li Yue immediately retorted, "Don't even mention this. If you want to pursue me, it won't be that easy!"

"Li Yue, can I borrow your Heavenly Mechanism Armor to take a look?" Ye Lang asked with a smile. Whether to chase or not was not the issue; if you lent me your Heavenly Mechanism Armor right now, I would say goodbye to you immediately.

At this moment, it wasn't abrupt for Ye Lang to ask this question, because the Heavenly Mechanism Armor was currently being worn by Li Yue, and anyone else would be curious in the same way.

"No, this is a family heirloom of the Li Family, and it cannot be shown to just anyone," Li Yue refused.

"I'll just watch for a little while, it'll be over soon..." Ye Lang pleaded, but in his heart he thought to himself, "I'll leave in a little while, there's no way you can catch up with me in this situation."

"No!" Li Yue shook her head. Ye Lang was not yet capable of making her hand over the Heavenly Mechanism Armor. He had not truly captured her heart yet; at most, she was still in the consideration stage.

"You're so stingy. What do I have to do to borrow it for a while?" Ye Lang asked.

"If you become a member of the Li Family, I can let you take a look!" Li Yue said, and her face turned red again after she said that.

Becoming a member of the Li Family means marrying someone from the Li Family, and it seems that this currently refers to her.

"That's not the same issue as before. I'll go directly to the Li Family to propose marriage, and then you can let me see this Heavenly Mechanism Armor," Ye Lang said.

"Go to hell! Who agreed to this?" Li Yue said, both embarrassed and angry.

"You don't need my consent. You can decide whether to agree or not when I propose marriage," Ye Lang said.

"..."

The idea that a marriage proposal doesn't require one's consent sounds so familiar. If this person weren't Fox Tribe, I would suspect that person was impersonating someone else.

"Stop talking, or I won't stay with you!" Li Yue said, her face still slightly flushed.

"Just tell me, if I marry you, will you show it to me?" Ye Lang said.

"If you were my husband, of course I would show it to you, but you are not!" Li Yue said, frowning.

"Okay, I'll marry you right now! Give it to me..."

"Shut up!!"

"..."

"Silly boy, you can't be so direct. You need to be more tactful. But it seems like there's a chance. It looks like you're not far from success!" Cold-Blooded Fifth interjected with a hint of helplessness.

"How can we be more tactful? Should we ask her if she's fallen in love with me?" Ye Lang asked back.

"... It's still the same, why don't you spend some more time with her? Anyway, there are still about ten days left. We'll talk about it after we get out of this place!" Cold-Blooded Fifth replied irritably.

"This is such a hassle... Alright, I'll just wait it out!" Ye Lang didn't bring up the issue again and decided to continue his trip.

After a while...

"Why aren't you saying anything?" When Li Yue saw that Ye Lang really wasn't talking, she thought that she had been too harsh on him, which made him not want to talk to her anymore.

"You told me to shut up..." Ye Lang said casually.

"As long as you don't mention that matter, we can talk about other things..." Li Yue said softly.

"Nothing else..." Ye Lang thought for a moment, then realized that there seemed to be no other topics he wanted to talk about.

"..." Li Yue remained silent.

No, that's it!! I don't want to talk to you either!!

And so, the two walked silently through the chilly mountain area in the early morning. Although protected by the Heavenly Mechanism Armor, it was not enough to keep out the cold, and Li Yue's body trembled slightly.

"Are you cold? Here, put this on!" Ye Lang took out a coat and handed it to Li Yue. "You should put the Heavenly Mechanism Armor back, otherwise you won't be able to wear clothes."

"No!" Li Yue shook her head. She also wanted to take back the Heavenly Mechanism Armor, but when she took Heavenly Mechanism Armor back, she was still wearing those tattered clothes, which made her feel ashamed.

If she had the strength at this point, it wouldn't matter; she could just go to a secluded place to change. But the problem is that her Ten Fragrance Weakening Powder is still taking effect.

She was still too weak to change her own clothes, and she couldn't let Ye Lang change them for her either!

She didn't ask the staff for the antidote to the Ten Fragrance Weakening Powder because it would be too troublesome to explain. It was because of this that she could only endure this moment of weakness.

Leaving? Wouldn't that also tell everyone that there's a problem?

Ye Lang could have countered the Ten Fragrance Weakening Powder, but the problem was that he couldn't reveal his identity. He wouldn't touch anything related to alchemy, including this antidote.

However, this led to a rather strange situation: Ye Lang had to take care of the weakened Li Yue, which made things quite interesting.

The effects of the Ten Fragrance Weakening Powder seem to last for a while. If the antidote is not taken, physical strength will slowly recover at first, but Battle Qi will not be able to be exerted. Fortunately, Li Yue is not a key figure, otherwise it would be troublesome.

"Let's rest over there for a bit, make a fire to keep warm, and you can rest for a while!" Ye Lang pointed to a suitable spot for camping.

"Okay!" Li Yue nodded. She also wanted to sleep for a while. Sleeping would allow her to recover some strength so that Ye Lang wouldn't have to do everything for her.

Now, she needs Ye Lang's help even to go to the toilet, so she has to hold it in unless it becomes unbearable, at which point...

Ye Lang lit a campfire, laid out straw mats as bedding, and since there were no tents, he would just make do with this for now. Anyway, many people didn't have tents and just slept on the ground like this.

"Alright, you can rest now!" He lifted Li Yue off the horse and placed her on the ground, while he went to tidy up his own bed.

"Good night!" Li Yue said to Ye Lang. Although it was almost dawn, she felt she still needed to say it.

"Okay, goodnight..." Ye Lang nodded, snuggled into his blankets, and then said one more thing—

"Li Yue, call me if you need to pee tonight..."

"Go to hell!!"

"..."

"Morning!"

When Ye Lang woke up, the sun was already high in the sky. The warm sunlight made him feel very comfortable, and the lazy feeling made him want to stay in bed a little longer.

"It's getting late! Time to get up..." Li Yue's voice was like a clear spring in a secluded valley, making Ye Lang feel refreshed at this moment, so refreshed that he was no longer sleepy.

"Hmm!" Ye Lang tidied up and prepared to go to the stream to wash his face and brush his teeth. At this moment, he noticed that Li Yue was looking at him with a blush on her face, as if she had something to say to him, but dared not say it, or was too embarrassed to say it.
