Chapter Nine, then you shall follow me

"Don't you just want a bed? Why all the nonsense? Just leave already." Qin Mingyue did not look back, instead she grasped the man's wrist with her other hand. This time, the guy had no chance to back out; she was determined to have him properly compensate her with a bed, and even throw in a few companions for the bed as a bonus.

"It's just a tree! You're not injured, can't you just find another tree to sleep under?" Qin Mingyue looked at the man's hand tightly gripping her wrist, then glanced at the tree that had already turned to dust, and said helplessly, "This tree is already shattered. If you insist on me compensating you, then kill me; I still can't repay you."

"I don't care; anyway, if you don't compensate me today, I won't let you go." The man tightly gripped Qin Mingyue's wrist, the pulse at her wrist gently throbbing. He looked at Qin Mingyue, and a hint of unusual color surged in his handsome eyes.

Isn't it fine if it wasn't intentional? The man raised his eyebrows again

The man was taken aback, looking at his wrist tightly grasped by Qin Mingyue. His handsome eyes flickered lightly twice, and the corners of his mouth curved into a pleasing arc. He said no more and followed Qin Mingyue forward

"Good! Then come with me, I will give you a good bed, an exceptionally good bed." Qin Mingyue emphasized the word 'good' as she pulled the man and turned to leave

"In any case, you have to compensate me; I don't care whether you have a way to do it or not." The man firmly grasped Qin Mingyue's wrist. His expression was very serious, and it was clear that if Qin Mingyue did not compensate him, he would not let her go

The man was taken aback for a moment and nodded slightly

Uh... what do you want as compensation?" Qin Mingyue was taken aback, looking at the man: "Do you want money?"

"You ... ..." Qin Mingyue nearly fainted, truly wishing to smash her head against a block of tofu. ... I have never seen such an eccentric person, never seen such a ...! ... Forget it! Who told her to be a beauty? Beauties tend to have some peculiar hobbies, don't they?

Heavens! You can't possibly want me to make a bed for you right now, can you? Qin Mingyue finally understood that this guy just wanted to sleep

"I told you to compensate me for the bed." The man seemed to be quite frustrated with Qin Mingyue's slow reaction, to the point where he began to doubt his own ability to express himself. After talking for so long about the bed, how could she still not understand?

"Uh... I didn't mean to..." Qin Mingyue thought to herself that she was indeed somewhat at fault, but who would have known that someone would choose to sleep in a tree, and that she had, damn it, just happened to split this tree in half?

"You have ruined my bed, and you must compensate me for it," the man said, looking at Qin Mingyue, who remained silent. He patiently repeated his statement.

I was sleeping soundly when you knocked me down, and you even broke my bed, leaving me with nowhere to sleep. How do you intend to compensate for this?" The man raised an eyebrow as he looked at Qin Mingyue.

"Where are you taking me?" the man frowned and asked as he was being dragged by Qin Mingyue.

What should I do if you run away? Where else can I find a bed to sleep in? The man raised his eyebrows, and the hand he was clenching not only did not loosen but tightened even more.

Qin Mingyue took a deep breath, comforted herself for a moment, and looked up at the man: "Are you sure you only want the bed?"

What? Compensate him? Compensate him for what? ... For the bed ... ... Or for sleeping ... ... ... Or for money ... ... Qin Mingyue was somewhat dazed, staring blankly at the man, hoping he would clarify. If it was for the bed, that tree was already destroyed, and she couldn't compensate for it. If it was for sleeping, looking at the extraordinarily handsome man in front of her, she could consider it. As for money, it would depend on the amount. If he wanted a mountain of gold, she certainly couldn't afford it. Staring blankly at the man, hoping he would clarify.

I don't care! The man looked at Qin Mingyue's somewhat helpless little face, his handsome eyes flickering slightly: "If you can't get it, then you will compensate me by staying here overnight; anyway, don't think about running away."

Heavens! ... Qin Mingyue rolled her eyes again, glancing at the surrounding darkness and feeling the chilly wind. Spending the night here ... ... Qin Mingyue looked again at the beautiful woman who was tightly gripping her wrist, and although she had such a stunning companion, ... ... however, Qin Mingyue, who had always been accustomed to a comfortable life, could not bear such a favor from a beauty.

Let's discuss this and see if we can change the terms, shall we? For instance, I could offer you some silver, or perhaps you could exchange it for another tree to sleep under? Qin Mingyue attempted to rescue her pitiful fate, gazing hopefully at the beautiful person before her who was tightly gripping her wrist

Qin Mingyue's small face wrinkled in frustration, hating herself for being so idle and stopping here for no reason. If she had to stop here, then so be it, but why did she have to stupidly hit the tree? If she was going to hit a tree, then let it be! ... Why did she have to stupidly hit the tree where this guy was sleeping? Now ... Now she had truly gotten herself into trouble.

Heaven! Qin Mingyue rolled her eyes at the sky, feeling somewhat speechless. Looking at the man, she expressed a mix of frustration and helplessness, saying: "If you don't let go of me, how can I get you a bed?"

Uh... The man was taken aback, looking in surprise at Qin Mingyue's flushed face, and soon his stunningly handsome features were also tinged with a layer of crimson. The hand gripping Qin Mingyue's wrist trembled slightly, and then he gritted his teeth and said with a voice full of resentment: "No!"

Oh! Then what do you want? Qin Mingyue let out a sigh of relief, it's good that it's not that, in this desolate wilderness, it wouldn't be suitable to compensate by sleeping, would it

"Isn't it just a bed? Let go of me first." Qin Mingyue felt a sharp pain in her wrist from being tightly grasped. She thought to herself that if it was just a bed, it wouldn't be difficult for her to get one.

"What do you want me to compensate you for?" Qin Mingyue hesitated for a moment, nodded, and looked at the man's extraordinarily handsome face, saying, "As long as it is within my capabilities, I will definitely compensate you. However, if you want me to fix that tree, I am unable to do so."

"Who said you had to compensate for the tree?" The man's sharp eyes flickered as he looked at Qin Mingyue, as if he were looking at a fool

What should I do? We're in the middle of nowhere. Am I supposed to steal a bed for you? Even if I did, you need to let go, right? How can I go if you don't let go?" Qin Mingyue's small face turned bright red from anger as she shouted, pulling at her wrist with all her might, but she couldn't budge him at all

I only want the bed!" The man's words dashed all of Qin Mingyue's hopes.

Qin Mingyue was taken aback, looking at the man's serious face, realizing that this guy was indeed not joking with her. Was he really asking her to compensate for this tree? Heaven! Qin Mingyue looked at the tree that had already turned into a pile of fragments on the ground; even if she chopped herself up with a knife, it wouldn't be restored! Thus, she said with a serious expression: "How do you want me to compensate?"

I don't care! The man continued to grip her wrist tightly, disregarding Qin Mingyue's anger as if it were nothing.

The man shook his head, blinking his eyes as he looked at Qin Mingyue, his pitch-black pupils swirling around.

You... you don't want me to compensate you... compensate you... I am a man! Qin Mingyue's small face flushed, her eyes wide open. Could it be that this guy has realized she is a woman? Impossible! Her disguise technique is sometimes even difficult for the old man to discern the truth.
