Also, many thanks to everyone who bought me coffee (*≧?≦*)

Originally, he thought she went to the border just to rescue Old Marquis who fell into the enemy’s hands, but looking at this appearance of hers, it seemed like she had ransacked the entire State of Chen's army.

Clearly, she hadn't missed out on any battles.

Gu Jiao didn't give him a chance to pursue this matter. She decisively opened the bundle and handed him a book emitting a historical aura.

Xiao Heng's gaze was immediately drawn to it.

The book was filled with the letters of the previous dynasty.

The letters of the current dynasty had evolved from that of the former dynasty, having slight differences in font and interpretation.

Gu Jiao flipped through the book.

Xiao Heng took a closer look. It was full of names from the Huangfu Family. His gaze halted, "The jade disc of the previous dynasty?"

"Yes!" Gu Jiao nodded vigorously.

She set fire to the Imperial Son-in-law's study, and the Imperial Son-in-law thought she had burned the jade disc as well, but in reality, she had stolen it!

The Great Li Dynasty's reign lasted for three hundred years, followed by a clandestine continuation for two hundred years. This record of the Huangfu Family's genealogy documented every member of the previous dynasty's imperial family and possessed immense research and archaeological value.

To a scholar, this ancient text was as alluring as a legendary weapon to a peerless martial artist.

Xiao Heng's eyes glimmered slightly, "How did you get this?"

"Gu Chengfeng stole it!" Gu Jiao shifted blame in a split second!

In the snowy mountains, Gu Chengfeng, who was sleeping while embracing his sword, suddenly sneezed!

"Do you like it?" Gu Jiao looked at him.

Xiao Heng nodded, "Yes, I like it."

This book might have been acquired at the expense of her life——how could he not like it?

The book was light, yet it felt as heavy as a ton in his hands.

Gu Jiao looked at him with a pair of clear, lively eyes, appearing somewhat obedient.

If the State of Chen soldiers she had fought against saw her now, they would surely be astounded. Was this the same brutal and cold-blooded god of slaughter?

Wasn't this just a little white rabbit?!

"And this!" Gu Jiao pulled out a small iron box from her pouch, "It's said that the ink used by the State of Chen's imperial family is the best in the world. Try using it."

"The green ink is not bad, but I only have two blocks."

"There is a master who specializes in making writing brushes under Bo Qinwang. He made a new one for me."

……

Gu Jiao continuously took out small gifts from her basket. One couldn't fathom how much she had packed.

Xiao Heng gazed at her deeply. Every time she brought out a gift, his eyes seemed to light up more and more.

After she took out another item for who-knows-how-many times, he couldn't hold back anymore. He lightly grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his embrace.

Caught off guard, Gu Jiao's little head bumped into his warm chest. She felt his strong heartbeat through the thick fabric, making her ears heat up.

Thump-thump, her ears were burning.

It seemed like everything around them suddenly quieted down, leaving only each other’s breaths and heartbeats.

"Are you injured?" He asked in a hoarse voice.

If she wasn’t injured, would he really let her see his five killer features?

"I'm not injured at all!" Gu Jiao quickly shook her head in his embrace.

Catching a plague didn’t count as being injured!

She hadn't lost a single strand of hair!

Xiao Heng sensed her little head turning around in his embrace, tickling his chest. He took a deep breath, held onto Gu Jiao's small shoulder, and made her sit upright.

Then, without averting his gaze, he looked straight into her eyes, "Truly not injured?"

Gu Jiao met his gaze straightforwardly, "Truly not injured!"

She absolutely refused to admit that she almost died several times, froze into a small ice sculpture on the ice field, and had a serious illness.

However, did Xiao Heng still not understand her?

Even if she pierced a hole in the sky, she wouldn't feel guilty about it.

Only, she had changed the topic too quickly just now, so it was impossible for nothing to have happened at the border.

Xiao Heng directly asked, "Where are you hurt?"

Gu Jiao wouldn't fall for his honey trap, "Nowhere! I'm not hurt at all!"

If you have the skill, guess that I almost became a little ice sculpture! Or almost died from a small plague!

But how could Xiao Heng guess that?

Even she herself couldn't have guessed it if she hadn't experienced it first hand.

Seeing his distrust, Gu Jiao spread her arms and leaned back against the chair, pulling out her killer move, "Or do you want to check?"

Xiao Heng paused for a moment, deeply looked at her, then suddenly rose from his own chair and leaned over her.

With one hand against the armrest of the chair, his tall figure loomed over her, lightly holding her soft waist with the other. He said with a trace of a man's danger, "Are you sure you want me to check, JiaoJiao?"

That "JiaoJiao" made Gu Jiao's ears tingle.

She stared blankly at his handsome face, which was too close to hers. She sensed his scorching breath, as well as the warmth from his palm transmitted through the fabric to her waist. Her once chilly waist seemed to catch fire in an instant.

He wasn't applying much pressure, but it was an overwhelming yet restrained feeling that was truly irresistible.

Gu Jiao blinked and suddenly reached out, embracing his waist filled with masculine strength.

His breath hitched, "JiaoJiao..."

Gu Jiao softly said, "JiaoJiao wants it..."

"Wants what?" He asked in a husky voice.

Gu Jiao held onto his waist tightly, using the strength of her arms to gently lift her body, bringing her breath almost close to his.

Xiao Heng tightened his hand that was holding her slender waist. He embraced her soft body, supporting her back with his arm, while his palm cupped the back of her head, preventing her from exerting any force.

"JiaoJiao wants what?"

"Why are you not talking?"

"Are you shy now?"

Without waiting for Gu Jiao's response, he gently raised his head, only to find that Gu Jiao was already asleep leaning against his arm and palm.

Xiao Heng: "..."

Gu Jiao was indeed exhausted. Crossing the snowy mountains was beyond difficult. After leaving the mountains, she traveled day and night without stopping. At every post station, she changed to the strongest horse available, but while horses could be swapped, the rider couldn't.

She hadn't had a good night's sleep for days.

Xiao Heng carefully lifted her and placed her on the bed.

Despite being utterly fatigued, that nothing could wake her up at this point, Xiao Heng's movements remained gentle.

He removed her shoes and outer garments, took off her hairband, and pulled the quilt over her.

Tucking in every corner, he wrapped her petite body tightly, then looked at her with a touch of emotion, leaned down, and gently kissed her forehead.
