If you don’t cherish the love we wear quickly, why are you crying if you change your mind?

Jiang Miao held Ares' arm and walked into the wilderness inn. The inn was surrounded by high walls and inside was a dilapidated wooden house. To enter, one had to buy a voucher to stay at the inn.

Ares took the money without saying a word and the guards stationed at the post station gave them a wooden sign and let them in.

Jiang Miao was curious about all this and asked Ares, "How do you know so much about it?"

Ares did not hide the truth from her, "Three years ago, I followed a caravan to Lonely Mountain, but it was unsuccessful."

"We will rest here for two days, then replenish supplies and set off again after two days."

Jiang Miao watched him go to rent a house, "Are you not in a hurry?"

She thought it was just one day off.

Ares said nothing, picked up the key and took her to one of the dilapidated cabins and opened the door.

Along the way, many dusty travelers looked at them.

It was really unreasonable for a delicate woman like Jiang Miao to appear here, but this unreasonableness was solved when she saw the tall man next to her.

It wouldn't be surprising for such a strong man to have a few more women.

Jiang Miao walked in and took a look. There was a lot of dust inside. If he wanted to have a good rest, he had to clean it up.

What surprised her most was that there was a hot spring pool in the small wooden house.

With a smile on her face, she looked up at Ares, "Can I use it?!"

Ares went in to check it out and nodded, "Yeah."

"Then I'll wash first!"

As she was getting her clothes, Ares said, "I'm going to go out and buy some food. I'll wait for you to come out and eat together."

"Okay!" Jiang Miao couldn't wait to get into the water.

She knew that Ares had deliberately hidden away to avoid seeing her bathing in the pool.

Sighing, she soaked for a while and then got up and put on her clothes to avoid embarrassing him.

It's been a long journey, exposed to the wind and sun in the front room of the carriage, so let him have a good rest.

Jiang Miao sat by the window, drying her hair, while waiting for Ares to come back.

After a while, she heard footsteps and voices outside the door.

"Mr. Mercenary, how can the little girl in your room make you happy? I have a more enthusiastic lady here who will make you..."

The words were cut off before he could finish. Jiang Miao stood up and looked out the window.

I saw a man stopping Ares, and Ares was using a cold look to make him shut up.

The strange man raised his hands in surrender, "Hey, calm down, I'm just giving you a taste of a different kind of woman."

Ares' eyes were cold, "Get lost!"

He turned and walked in, and as soon as he entered, he met Jiang Miao's teasing gaze.

Ares looked inexplicably embarrassed. He placed the tray of food on the table and silently poured water from his water bag. "Eat."

Jiang Miao glanced at the bread and soup on the tray, then turned and walked towards Ares, "Has anyone approached you to discuss this kind of business before?"

Ares looked a little unnatural, and coughed lightly, "Yeah."

Jiang Miao reached out and poked a finger into his chest, "So you did it?"

"No, no!" Ares shook his head.

Although these businesses are very common on the adventure road, especially after mercenaries have completed their missions, most men will go to taverns and places where there are many women to have fun.

But he won't.

Jiang Miao held his arm, looked up at him, and put on a fierce and unforgiving look, "Never again."

Ares found that the girl in front of him was getting more and more aggressive, and she was making more and more small moves towards him.

He raised his hand and pushed her, "I'm covered in dust, go eat."

Jiang Miao saw him picking up his clothes and about to leave, "Where are you going?"

"Could it be that I'm going to ask that man to introduce you to me?!"

"Every paladin is loyal." Ares pinched his brows.

Jiang Miao snorted, "It is rumored that the old Duke John, who is the most loyal to his wife, has several illegitimate children!"

Ares couldn't do anything to her, so he stood in front of the door holding his clothes, "What do I have to do to make you believe me?"

"Isn't there a pool in the house? Why don't you just go in and wash yourself? Why do you have to go out and spend money? What a waste!" Jiang Miao put his hands on his hips and continued to be stern.

She looked at Ares's high nose and handsome face.

She raised her hand again and gently tugged at his sleeve.

Ares looked down at her, "What's wrong?"

"Lower your head."

Ares was puzzled, but he still naturally cooperated with this petty and demanding girl.

Just as he lowered his head, Jiang Miao held his face with both hands and gently "patted" his cheek.

Ares was distracted by the kiss and his cheeks turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Jiang Miao smiled brightly, "Okay, go take a shower, I'll wait for you to eat! You don't want me to be hungry, do you?"

Ares turned around and pursed his lips. He didn't know how he took off his clothes or how he got into the water, but as he washed, the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up slightly.

He knew that the girl was a little moody, but for some reason he felt that her fierce appearance was inexplicably cute.

But she was also a cunning woman and sometimes she tortured him.

He quickly cleaned himself and was about to get up and put on his clothes when he heard footsteps behind him.

Ares turned around and saw the girl's dark and watery eyes looking at him.

There was a faint pink hue on her fair cheeks.

His pupils shrank slightly and he quickly grabbed his clothes and covered himself with them. He tried hard to maintain a calm expression, but his breathing became uncontrollably rapid.

Ares looked away, no longer meeting her gaze.

Jiang Miao originally didn't intend to do anything. She just wanted to go over and ask him if the horses had been fed. If not, she would go out and feed the horses.

I never thought I would see such an exciting scene.

The man's body was exposed to the air, with distinct collarbones, perfect muscle undulations, a thin and narrow waistline, and tight, hormonal abdominal muscles.

The muscle texture extends downward.

Jiang Miao took a quick glance and quickly looked away at the stone next to the hot spring pool. This person finished his bath too quickly and got up already?

Blame her?

"Have you fed the horses?"

"What are you here for?"

The two said in unison, and Jiang Miao turned away awkwardly, "I was just asking you, but I didn't expect you to stand up."

Then she heard the sound of water splashing, Ares must have gotten up.

The image of the man flashed through my mind again.

She thought she was greedy for Ares' body.

"I've fed you." Ares undid the buttons that he had buttoned incorrectly and then buttoned them again. He breathed a sigh of relief only after he had put on his clothes.

As an upright paladin, he should continue to change the subject.

But he blurted out, "If you know what shyness is, you shouldn't leave me in the same room next time."

Perhaps the atmosphere was too subtle, Ares couldn't help but want to play a joke on her.
