She couldn’t let her voice distract Leng Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Leng Yuan was prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the venomous snake lunged, the sickle in his hand flashed. The meter-long snake was instantly sliced in two, the pieces falling into the bottomless abyss below the cliff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had dispatched the venomous snake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Yuan waited, but no other snakes appeared, so he began to dig up the Polygonum multiflorum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no idea how many years this Polygonum multiflorum had been growing here. It was larger than any he had ever seen, the root as thick as a grown man’s arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To his delight, there wasn’t just one, but two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After harvesting both Polygonum multiflorum plants, Leng Yuan started climbing back up the rock face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He moved even faster than he had on the way down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the man stood before Gu Jiaojiao, she threw herself at him, burying her face tightly in his neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Yuan stiffened for a moment, then wrapped his arms tightly around her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, he felt a dampness on his neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’She’s crying?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sense of helplessness washed over Leng Yuan. He hadn’t expected the incident to frighten Gu Jiaojiao so badly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment he saw the snake, it had been too late to move the flashlight away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stroked her head to comfort her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s okay. The snake fell off the cliff. Everything’s fine now, don’t be scared.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jiaojiao only cried harder. \"Leng Yuan, let’s not gather herbs anymore. You scared me to death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Astonishment flashed in Leng Yuan’s eyes. He had never imagined Gu Jiaojiao would say something like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought she was crying because she was afraid of the snake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never imagined it was because she feared for his safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he had been confident that she would never leave him after they registered their marriage, he knew in his heart that Gu Jiaojiao was in love with Yun Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he didn’t pay attention to village affairs, with Chen JianShe around, he’d heard quite a bit about Gu Jiaojiao’s pursuit of Yun Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he had never thought that Gu Jiaojiao would genuinely care about him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing her tears were for him, he felt a shameful sense of happiness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There, there. I’m fine. Don’t be scared.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jiaojiao said nothing, just clung to him tightly and refused to let go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Resigned, Leng Yuan simply held her as he coiled the rope, then prepared to head down the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sobbing Gu Jiaojiao was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Does this man not know that sweet nothings exist?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had just been truly terrified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn’t expected a venomous snake.

I’m afraid I won’t be able to hold back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jiaojiao was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What is this damn man thinking?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was just worried about him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the physical change in his body was undeniable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Startled, Gu Jiaojiao pushed him away and tried to run, but he yanked her back, and his lips descended upon hers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jiaojiao’s eyes flew wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moon was especially beautiful tonight—big and round.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wind on the mountaintop was a bit chilly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his embrace was scorching hot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He kissed her until her head was spinning, and in the end, he had to carry her down the mountain on his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「At Village Chief Xu’s house.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenwan’s system lit up with a red light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A large line of text appeared on the light screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WARNING!
