He placed his hand on her back and helped her move her head faster.

A few more minutes pa.s.sed as he finally released his load into her mouth.

Zhiqing was stunned as little Chen suddenly released a sticky liquid in her mouth. In shock, she swallowed all of it.

Long Chen turned his face towards the opposite side as he had a bad feeling. His biggest fears came to fruition as he saw Mingyu sitting there watching everything.

A chill ran down his spine as he saw her awake.

"Ah… mingyu..." He let out but found it hard to decide on his next words.

Zhiqing heard his words and looked upwards, but her expressions changed as well, as she noticed Mingyu.

"It's fine. You don't have to explain." Mingyu said with an expressionless look on her face.

"But..." Long Chen tried talking again, but he was stopped by Mingyu.

"As I said it's fine. You don't need to explain to me " Mingyu repeated the same thing as she closed her eyes.

Long Chen also turned silent as he didn't know what to say. He thought that he would talk to her about it later.

Zhiqing stood up as she swallowed the remaining liquid that was in her mouth and silently sat beside Long Chen silently.

The journey continued for the day without a word being spoken and it was already evening by now.

The carriage stopped suddenly. There was a knock on the door.

Zhiqing opened the curtains and saw the carriage driver standing there.

"Yes?" She asked as she opened the door.

"Mistress, It looks like there is a village nearby. It wasn't on the map, but I think that it should be a good place to rest. It's getting dark as well." The driver informed Zhiqing.

"Hmm? A village? " Zhiqing brought her head out of the carriage as she looked ahead and sure enough, a village was visible at some distance.

"Alright. Take us there. Let's rest in the village for the night." Zhiqing told the driver as she closed the door.

The driver nodded his head and left. The carriage began moving and stopped again after a while.

"Let's leave. We should be at the village now." Zhiqing said to Long Chen and Mingyu as she opened the door.

Mingyu opened the door towards her side and got out. Long Chen left from the same door while Zhiqing left from the door on the opposite side.

They stood at the entrance of the door. Surprisingly, there was no guard at the entrance. They walked inside the village. The whole village looked empty.

There were no people outside on the street in the village, but lights could be seen in some huts.

Long Chen walked to the nearest hut with Mingyu and Zhiqing and knocked on the door.
