A wet, but soft warm body fell into his arms, slowly sliding downwards. A hand extended, unafraid of the filth on her body, and pulled Shen Li into his embrace. Her hand that bloodied his face gently fell to her side before being caught by another.
His hand flipped her's as his fingertips felt for her pulse.
The man clothed in white frowned,
"Where is the field camp?"
Shang Bei quickly stepped forward.
For a lady yet to be wed, it was naturally inappropriate to be in a man's embrace. Shen Li's purity must stay untouched.
But when he sensed the heavenly power surrounding the white clothed man, Shang Bei realized that he must've been the messenger sent by Heaven.
They would naturally be no rush to bring Shen Li back.
But Heaven. . . Only sent one person down!?
"Your excellency is?"
"Sky Beyond Heaven, Still Water Pavilion, Ancient God Xing Zhi."
Although the people of the Demonic Realm didn't know anything about the Sky Outside Heaven and weren't familiar with the Still Water Pavilion, the whole universe knew about Xing Zhi, the only living Ancient God; and the very same god that arranged Shen Li's marriage. . .
Shang Bei immediately turned respectful. If it was his word, then it must be taken seriously .
"I must apologize. I've spent too long in the mortal realm so I had gotten a bit lost after not visiting for a while and was late."
Shang Bei fell silent.
It wouldn't be a good idea for him to be impolite in return to his politeness.
He ordered,
"Clear the battlefield and assist the injured soldiers together to the field camp!"
He quickly stepped to Xing Zhi's side and reached out a hand as he said,
"I do not dare to trouble sire, and will carry King instead."
"No."
Xing Zhi's body twisted, evading Shang Bei's outstretched hands,
"There's no harm if I hold her.
She came to me herself."
Once spoken, he paid no further heed to Shang Bei and quickened his pace forward, before suddenly turning his head to look at Shang Bei,
"Ah right, where is the field camp?"
Shang Bei fell silent.
Sky Beyond Heaven's Sir Xing Zhi, his temper. . .really. . . is unique.

The sunlight rocked along with the swing of the green leaves. The breeze was cool, the scent of herbs waffling through the air. She slowly sat up to see an azure clothed white man, rocking leisurely on the rocking chair. This sound perfectly finished the tranquil scene.
The rocking chair slowly stopped. The man turned his head to look at her, quietly looking at her,
"What's wrong? Hungry?"
"No."
Her usually straight back was hunched, bending over slightly.
Her lips forced a smile,
