Unfortunately it seemed that the author really insisted to made a skin contact between Shi Ying and Chen making Shi Ying wish to stay as far as she could, to be in vain.

The road passed by the horse was bumpy and this made Li Shi Ying body jolted backward, slamming right to Chen body.

"Ah!" Losing her balance, Li Shi Ying head hit Long Ao Zhen sturdy chest. Li Shi Ying was afraid of falling down the horse so she grabbed Long Ao Zhen clothes with reflex. She swore that she did it subconsciously!

Long Ao Zhen who felt the rabbit in front of him tugged his clothes, looked down and he found his little rabbit clinging her hand tightly around his body.

Well even though it was only for a bried second as Li Shi Ying who realized this embarassing action she did, quickly retracted her hand and acted as if she never did that.

A smile formed faintly on Long Ao Zhen face and he chuckled. Li Shi Ying who heard this chuckle felt extreeemely embarassed.

This Chen laugh at me!! Huaaa mommaaa she wanna hide in a hole!!

Li Shi Ying turned her face away with an obvious blush on her face. She was too ashamed to look at Chen!

But the nightmare didn't end just like that. The bumpy road made the helpless Li Shi Ying body kept slamming forward and backward, hitting a certain shadow guard chest.

This repeated series of event made Li Shi Ying felt awkward.

Li Shi Ying had the urge to stepped down from the horse and flatten this damn road! Oh wait don't be that impatient, the worst part wasn't even that!

From the beginning till now, Chen hand on her waist didn't budge even for an inch! He gripped her waist tight making her couldn't even move around her body.

Chen would also sometimes lowered his head making his breath hit Li Shi Ying face as her head rested right next to Chen chest.

Li Shi Ying heart has gone BATHUMP! BATHUMP! BATHUMP! Since the start and she still felt like that even until this minute.

For her, the entire journey felt stiff and awkward. She felt sooo tired with this situation. She wished she could get off the horse and walk on foot!!

Fortunately Li Shi Ying wish was heard as the road ahead them was becoming smaller than before and the surrounding was thick with creepy trees making it hard for the horse to went through.

Jiu Wei saw that it would be difficult to continue ride on their horse or a beast so he asked everyone to get down from the horse.

Jiu Wei, Shi Ying and Chen then get off from their mount and started to walk on foot. Jiu Wei had predicted that if they wanted to find a cave to rest tonight, they still had to walk for an hour.

Even though it was still evening, the weather was already cold. Li Shi Ying had a slight fever so she had to wore the giant mammoth cloak as to not worsen her fever.

Holding her cloak tight, Li Shi Ying walked on foot for an hour. She never had to walk this long before so she felt tired. Not only that, her legs were also ache and sore. Her feet were red and it hurts a lot.

The road was filled with sharp rock, giant tree roots and many other small sharp objects. Li Shi Ying was the weakest in term of physical condition among the three of them so she had the most injuries on her feet.

But Li Shi Ying didn't want to slow down the others who looked completely fine compared to her. She force herself to walked till a voice stopped her.

"Let's take a rest" Chen looked at the tired Li Shi Ying and was the first one to made the group rest. They had only walked for 30 minutes, they still had to walked for another 30 minutes!

It seemed that Ying'er couldn't walk that far...her face was sweaty and coupled with the cold weather her fever would get worst.

"Yeah!!" With a sigh of relief, Li Shi Ying quickly found a tree to lean on.

Li Shi Ying who was already tired, quickly plopped down to seat under a nearby tree she found. She then straighten her sore legs and massaged it by herself.

Long Ao Zhen looked at this scene and moved closer to Li Shi Ying place. He squatted down near her leg and took it by his hand.

!!!!

"W-wait what are you doing??" Li Shi Ying body trembled when Long Ao Zhen hand touch her left right leg.

Long Ao Zhen didn't answer at all and just began to massage Li Shi Ying leg. His long and strong finger pressed on many points on Li Shi Ying sore leg, making it better.

Li Shi Ying really want to retract her legs or just kick away this overly attentive guard but looking at Chen serious face, she canceled her intention.

Meanwhile Jiu Wei could only step back a few steps to watch on this sweet scene with his other divine beasts companion.

Long Ao Zhen massage was good, very good making Li Shi Ying felt relaxed and soon she unconsciously fell asleep.
