"Tch, me? A money-grubber? If I were really all about money, I would've ditched you a long time ago."
Gu Sheng casually retorted.
Ji Ziyue lightly punched Gu Sheng, but the corners of her mouth turned up in a smile. "You wouldn't dare! If you ever leave me behind, I'll have Senior Nangong chase you to the ends of the earth!"
"Ow, are you planning to murder your husband now?"
Gu Sheng rubbed the spot where he'd been punched, feigning pain with a grin.
"Husband? Oh please... I think you're just using this as an excuse to take advantage of me."
Their laughter echoed through the valley.
"C'mon, we need to find somewhere hidden."
Gu Sheng glanced around, scanning for a potential hiding spot.
Ji Ziyue nodded, and the two of them started down a narrow trail.
Before long, they discovered a concealed cave.
The entrance was hidden by dense vines and shrubs, nearly impossible to notice unless you looked carefully.
"This looks good. We should be able to lie low for a while here."
