"This entire path is by the mountain . " Which meant that there could be another accident at anytime .
"I'll be careful . "
"Oh, alright then . " He harrumphed . Although he seemed to have heard her words, he didn't let go of her hand .
Li Man coldly glared at him . She truly felt helpless . Although he had saved her, it didn't mean he should take advantage of this potentially dangerous situation .
Not hearing a response from her, he asked, "Do I look ugly?"
AdvertisementLi Man slightly shook her head .
"I'm ugly?" Not hearing any answer, Li Yan turned his head and glowered at her .
"No . " Li Man quickly shook her head .
Li Yan scoffed, "Am I really that bad?"
"En . " Li Ma honestly nodded .
"I'm bad?" Li Yan suddenly stopped and leaned towards her as he stared at her .
Li Man's heart tightened in alarm, but she bravely faced his gaze . "How are you not bad?"
He suddenly smiled . "Oh, you silly girl, even if I'm bad, I'm only bad to you . "
Li Man's heart felt clogged up in annoyance . "Am I supposed to feel honored for having that privilege?"
Li Yan sighed and said, "Well, I wouldn't go that far . Isn't it better to me with me than a man that looks ugly and doesn't love you?"
Li Man wanted to laugh at this outrageous statement . "Why do I have to marry an ugly man that doesn't love me?"
"Do you have the opportunity to chose either way?" Li Yan taunted .
" . . . " Li Man was speechless . It was true that she didn't have the opportunity to choose her own husband . Even if an opportunity came up where she could leave the Li family, she wouldn't know what to do afterwards .
Even thought she hadn't been in this unfamiliar era for long, she still had a clear understanding . A woman didn't have much status in this era .
Even though it was very common for several men to share a wife in the Goddess's Ravine, the status of their wives remained low . These men treated their women as tools to carry on their family line .
Seeing her blanked out look and dejected expression, Li Yan felt bad for her and pinched her nose for lack of a better idea . He slightly smiled and said, "Alright, just treat me as a bad person that's bullying you then . How about this? I'll let you bully me . "
"I'll thank the heavens if you just stop bullying me in the future . " Li Man rolled her eyes at him .
The smile on Li Yan's face grew . He tightened his grip on her hand . "Man-er, don't be angry . Last time, I really didn't mean to do that . "
Li Man suddenly felt cold, and goosebumps rose up . When this person was crude, he didn't seem human . But when he was gentle, he seemed even less like a human .
"Stop mentioning it . It's enough as long as you don't bully me in the future . " She quickly threw his grip off and dashed forward .
"Little creature, you run quite quickly . " Seeing her long hair fluttering behind her as she ran, Li Yan's heart was crammed full of softness . He raised his foot and began to chase after her .
When Li Man turned her head and saw that he was pursuing her, she ran even quicker .
Thus, on their way back, the busy villagers in the fields saw a woman and a man sprinting down the path . The man was too hateful . Every time, he would wait until the woman had increased the distance between then, then he would speed up his pace and catch up to her . This would frighten the woman into screaming and cause her to desperately run faster . It was like a cat toying with a mouse .
