slave like jade

Chapter 37 Late Night Fire
Can't bear to think about it, footsteps sounded in the corridor outside, the masked man looked hesitant, and finally turned over and jumped out of the window...
The door opened with a 'squeak', and Mu Lingzhi withdrew the copper money to the door and withdrew.Under the candlelight, Mu Lingzhi rarely showed a tired look on his face. He took off his coat and was about to step into the tub, but he saw Yu Ruyan leaning against the edge of the tub, sleeping soundly, and he didn't even notice that he opened the door to come in.He turned his head to look at the table, where the food had not moved, and it was too cold.

He had been on the road for days and days, and he had too many worries in his heart, so he didn't pay much attention to her who was always by his side.Later, when he saw that she didn't complain of suffering or tiredness along the way, he thought she could bear such hardships, but he didn't expect her thighs to be bleeding...

He quietly looked at the sleeping woman.After washing away the dust and wind and frost from her face, her delicate face showed a dazzling brilliance under the reflection of the water waves.His face was pale, it was hard to hide his fatigue, and his whole body was so delicate that one couldn't help but feel pity.

Stretching out her hand to feel the temperature of the water, the water was already completely cold, if she stayed any longer, she might catch a cold.

Mu Lingzhi looked helplessly at someone who was sleeping more closely than a pig, leaned down, fished her out of the water, and put her on the bed.

It wasn't until the medicine on her legs was almost finished that Yu Ruyan woke up with a dazed expression. She stared blankly at the handsome face in front of her, and then at her own nakedness, her face flushed with shame, and her voice was like Mosquito: "Your Highness..."

Seeing her shy look, Mu Lingzhi threw the ointment in his hand to her, and said coldly: "I haven't put on my clothes yet, the waiter will bring hot water in soon."

The night was as cool as water, a bright moon hung high in the sky, and there was silence everywhere.

Yu Ruyan lay quietly on the floor, and Mu Lingzhi's steady breathing could be heard next to her ears. Presumably, he was also tired, and fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow.

A cool feeling came from the bruised thigh, and she blushed, thinking of him earnestly applying the medicine for her, her heart was filled with endless warmth.

No one has ever been so kind to her.

If only he wasn't the one who wanted to kill himself!

If she was really just his maid, without such a pathetic status, how nice it would be to just quietly stay by his side!
The silver moon poured down on his handsome face, with handsome eyes and sculpted eyebrows, thick eyelashes, and a high nose bridge. For a moment, she was fascinated by it.

Suddenly a bright red flame burst out of the window, reflecting the blood red in the room, Yu Ruyan thought she was dreaming in a daze, until she smelled the burnt smell in her nostrils, she realized that she was running out of water!
It was the eve of dawn at this time, and it was also the time when people slept the most. Everyone in the inn was in a sweet dream and didn't realize the danger was coming, until Yu Ruyan's scream woke up the inn people.

Immediately, the entire inn boiled, and the sound of messy footsteps and the shouts of the crowd woke up the entire Guyu Town.

In the room, Mu Lingzhi had already been woken up by Yu Ruyan. He quickly pulled her away who was staying stupidly, and opened the door to rush out. However, the fire was the biggest at the door of their room, and there were raging fires in all directions.He stared at the ground and saw that kerosene soaked into the room through the door panel, and someone deliberately set him on fire!

Unable to get out of the main entrance, Mu Ling kicked open the window with one foot, and rushed out with Yu Ruyan in his arms.However, when his body barely reached the window, he was forced back into the room by a long sword gleaming with cold light.Looking up, a man in black with a silver mask jumped into the burning room fearlessly holding a long sword, and the long sword in his hand attacked him like a storm.
