Chapter 499 Test Me (3)

Ill care for you! Ye Lang said solemnly.

Huh? Its fine, its just skin Li Yue feigned nonchalance.

I have to! Ill take responsibility for that! Why not be my girlfriend? After this event, Ill meet your parents for their blessings. Ye Lang was still speaking very solemnly.

Go to hell! As if! exclaimed Li Yue immediately. Please dont say that! It wont be easy to win me over!

Li Yue, can you show me the Tianji Armour? asked Ye Lang with a smile. He didnt care if it would be easy to win her heart, as long as she gave him the Tianji Armour, hed disappear immediately.

This question wasnt too jarring because anyone would be curious about the suit of armour she was wearing.

No you cant, this is the precious heirloom of the Li family, I cant let just anyone see it, said Li Yue.

Just a moment, just for a second please begged Ye Lang, though in his heart he whispered, just one moment and Ill disappear. With your current condition, it would be impossible for you to catch me.

No! Li Yue shook her head. With the current stage of their relationship, she still did not trust him enough to show him the Tianji Armour. He hadnt successfully won her heart over, at this point he had potential but that was it.

Youre so petty! What would I need to do to be able to see it? asked Ye Lang.

Only if you become part of the Li family, then Ill show it to you! said Li Yue, though she blushed immediately after.

Didnt that mean he should marry her? Hed be part of the Li family then

Then were back to the first question I asked! Ill just meet your family, you can show me the Tianji Armour then, said Ye Lang.

Go to hell! I didnt agree to marrying you! cursed Li Yue, embarrassed.

I dont need you to agree right now, you can think about it when I meet your parents, said Ye Lang.

Well, it was true. She didnt have to agree right now before he met her parents. That line sounded so much like a human. Are you sure youre not human?

Shut up! Or itll never happen! said Li Yue, her face still red.

Then tell me, if I marry you, are you sure youll show it to me? asked Ye Lang.

Of course I would, if youre my husband But youre not! she frowned.

Alright, then Ill marry you right now! Show it to me

Shut up!!

You idiot, you cant be too honest with your words! You have do be a little more subtle, although I do think you have a chance! Looks like were not far from victory! Coldblood Five interjected, exasperated.

Subtle? How? Should I ask if she loves me? asked Ye Lang.

Thats still too honest! You should spend more time with her first, you still have ten days. Well talk about it when you leave this place! answered Coldblood Five, frustrated.

This is so much trouble Fine! Ill wait! Ye Lang stopped asking and decided hell treat the next ten days as if it were a vacation.

After a while Why arent you talking anymore? asked Li Yue after she realised he was very quiet. She thought she mightve snapped too hard at himMaybe he didnt want to talk to her anymore

You told me to shut up!

As long as you dont talk about that, we can still talk about other stuff said Li Yue gently.

Other stuffI dont have anything to say Ye Lang thought for a moment and realised he didnt have anything else to talk about.

Li Yue was silent.

Fine! Thats how it is then! I dont want to talk to you either!

And just like that, both of them trekked across the chilly mountainous region early in the morning. Although she was protected by the Tianji Armour, it offered not much insulation properties, she was shivering as they travelled.

Cold? Come, put this on! Ye Lang produced a jacket for her. You should take your Tianji Armour off or you wouldnt be able to put this on.

No! Li Yue shook her head. She secretly wanted to take her armour off too but her current clothes were torn and tattered and it would just be embarrassing.

If she still had strength, she probably wouldve just gone somewhere private to change but the poison was still in effect.

Right now, with so little strength, she wouldnt be able to change her own clothes. And she couldnt ask Ye Lang for help either!

She didnt ask the organisers for the antidote to the poison either because it would be too much trouble to explain why she needed it. Unfortunately, because of that, all she could do now was suffer through it before the poison faded.

Leave? That would also signal everyone else that something was wrong.

On the other hand, Ye Lang also had the skills to cure her of her poison but the problem was he couldnt expose his identity. He could not do anything related to alchemy and that included formulating an antidote for her.

However, a strange dynamic surfaced with these problems. At this point, Ye Lang was responsible for protecting a weak Li Yue. This could be interesting.

The effects of the poison could last a while without the antidote. Her bodily strength would recover slowly but she would not be able to use her douqi for a while. Thank goodness Li Yue wasnt some famous fighter or that would invite many questions.

Then we should rest there. Lets start a fire for warmth, you should get some rest! Ye Lang pointed at a spot suitable for setting up camp.

Alright! nodded Li Yue. She wanted to sleep too. Then shed be able to regain some of her strength back and at least wouldnt depend on Ye Lang for everything.

With her current condition, she knew shed even need help to pee That was why she was going to hold it in. She would only deal with it when she couldnt hold it any longer

Ye Lang started a fire then unrolled a straw mat on the ground. He didnt have a tent, that was all he planned to do.

Alright, time to rest! He carried her off the horse, placed her on the mat, then unrolled another mat for himself.

Goodnight! said Li Yue. It was going to be daybreak soon but she still felt the need to say it.

Mm, goodnight! Ye Lang nodded, snuggling up in his mat. Then, he added, Li Yue, wake me up if you have to pee

Go to hell!

Morning!

It was already long past daybreak when Ye Lang woke. The sun was so warm, all he wanted to do was sleep in.

Its not morning anymore! Time to get up. Li Yues voice was as fresh as a spring, his weariness fading away upon hearing her voice.

Alright! Ye Lang packed his things then got ready to brush his teeth at a stream nearby.

At this moment, he realised Li Yue was looking at him, blushing, as if she had something to tell him but was too embarrassed.
