"You must have seen it wrong."
"That's not true."
Ergou Tau nodded: "That was Master Uncle, not a woman."
"But..."
The person wanted to say something else but was interrupted by Ergou Tau.
"No buts, hurry back. Maybe that Fish Thief will come back on his own."
"What if he doesn't dare to come back?"
"Impossible."
Ergou Tau sneered: "Doesn't he want the Lotus Pendant? He will definitely come back!"
"So we just wait here?"
"No, we're leaving!"
A cold glint flashed in Ergou Tau's eyes: "When he comes back, we'll have some fun with him!"
A group of people hurried away, and under the protection of the magical artifact, Yulin and Fish Thief finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Under the leaves, the two were pressed closely together, even able to hear each other's heartbeat.
Yulin was breathing heavily.
She didn't want to, but her body was out of control.
Her heart raced wildly, and Fish Thief's heartbeat was also erratic.
"Don't move!"
Yulin whispered: "If you move, they'll find us!"
"I... I don't want to either."
Fish Thief's voice trembled: "You don't move, I won't move; everyone stays still."
"Okay."
Without thinking, Yulin agreed.
But her body lost control again.
She felt her head tilt, and her lips accidentally brushed against Fish Thief's earlobe.
Before she could apologize, her head tilted again, and her lips landed on Fish Thief's face.
Fish Thief's body suddenly stiffened.
After a long moment, he began to tremble slightly.
Yulin could feel his shivering, which grew more intense, like a grinding stone that had been turned for three days.
...
It seemed she understood something.
Just as she was about to explain, she found herself unable to move again.
She opened her mouth but couldn't make any sound.
The more anxious she became, the less control she had over her body.
Fish Thief's breathing quickened, and hers followed suit.
Both of them were drenched in sweat.
Finally, Yulin regained control of her body.
She carefully propped herself up, pulling away from Fish Thief's face.
They were very close, their breaths intertwining.
She could clearly see the embarrassment and anger in his eyes.
"I..."
Yulin opened her mouth, her voice dry: "I can't control my body."
"I don't know why either."
"You," Yulin said cautiously, "can you trust me?"
Fish Thief remained silent.
He looked at Yulin quietly, a swirl of emotions in his eyes.
After a long time, he slightly turned his head away from Yulin's gaze.
"Do as you wish."
His voice carried a sense of relief after surviving a disaster.
Yulin let out a sigh of relief.
She held the magical artifact and carefully slid down. Her eyes inadvertently swept across the other person's face, then paused slightly.
The mask was gone.
The person before her had long eyelashes, a high nose bridge, and even lips that were enticingly pink. What surprised Yulin even more was that the person in front of her was actually quite good-looking.
"You..." Yulin hesitated, "You took off the mask?"
"Mm." The other person replied softly, their face flushing again, looking like a timid young bride who had been bullied.
Yulin's mind buzzed with confusion. She recalled the earlier scene, the other person's flushed face, their trembling body, and now their reddened cheeks.
"You..." She opened her mouth to say something but found herself at a loss for words. After a long pause, she awkwardly said, "Thank you."
"Um..." Yulin struggled to find the right words. "I didn't mean to earlier. You know, sometimes the body just doesn't cooperate."
As she spoke, she carefully observed the other person's reaction. The other person kept their eyes closed, their eyelashes fluttering slightly.
