Chapter 270 - 160
Perhaps owing to the emotions of departure, rain suddenly began to fall from the sky in the afternoon, gradually intensifying.
The road conditions deteriorated into mud, forcing Jiang Shouzhong to seek shelter in a nearby cave.
The cave wasn’t very large; the ground was covered with a layer of dry grass and other plant fibers, and there were traces of a campfire, indicating people often used it to shield themselves from the weather as a temporary refuge.
Jiang Shouzhong led both horses into the cave—the horse that hadn’t been ridden was secretly guided by Mengniang’s demonic power, following Jiang Shouzhong and the others all the way.
Because she was carrying Er Liang and leading the horses, Mengniang was also somewhat tired. After entering the cave, she chose a quiet corner to begin meditating and recuperating to restore her energy.
"How about that? My riding skills are impressive, right?"
Yelü Miaomiao gently stroked the smooth mane of the white horse she rode and smiled at Jiang Shouzhong, who was starting a fire.
Jiang Shouzhong ignored her.
"Oh, come on, don’t be so petty. I wasn’t trying to make fun of you."
Yelü Miaomiao gently removed the disguise from her face and walked lightly to sit down beside the newly kindled fire. Her wet hair, clinging to her soft, pale cheeks, enhanced her beautiful appearance.
