Opening her eyes, Li Xi Rui could feel her right hand is heavy. Remembering what had happened before she loses consciousness, her eyes widen and she started to look left and right. "Jie!!!", exclaimed Li Xi Rui. She wanted to use her right hand to touch the man beside her, so she raises her hand and its heavy! She looks down to her hand and saw their intertwined hands. She didn't want to release the hold either, so she uses her left hand to caress his left cheek. 'Annoying man, how dare you come back now?! I have been waiting day and night but you...', thought Li Xi Rui. How dare this man sleep after making her worried for the past months?

*Smack!* Li Xi Rui hits Long Jie. "Wake up or I'm never going to speak to you again!", Li Xi Rui warned the unconscious Long Jie.

*Smack!*, "Why hasn't you wake up?! Jie? Jie?!", Li Xi Rui shakes Long Jie's body repeatedly but Long Jie still didn't wake up.

Putting her head on Long Jie's chest, she could hear his heart beating slowly, "It's still beating. Jie, what is wrong with you?". Even when he is here, he made her worry endlessly. 'But at least you're here. That's enough', she continued in her mind. As long as he is with her she will be well. She has decided to give him and her a chance. 'Yes, at least you should rest well for the time being', Li Xi Rui closed her eyes and enjoyed her husband's body heat.

Meanwhile, outside the tent, Jie Er wanted to rush in when he heard the smacking sound but Jie Si manage to stop him. As usual, without opening their mouths, they could communicate with their eyes;

Jie Si: *Penetrating gaze* "Stop it! Don't rush in if madam didn't tell you to"

Jie Er: *Worried gaze* "Didn't you hear that sound?! I just want to check!"

Jie Si: *Threatening gaze* "You fool! That is just some lovers play!"

Jie Er: *Wondering eyes* "Then what is that sound we just heard?"

Jie Si: *Looking up and sighing* "It's madam punishing the master"

Jie Er: *Eyes widen* "Then shouldn't we go save the master?!"

Jie Si: *Eyes twitching* "Stupid, that is the play. Now stop and guard the door well!"

After being pressured by Jie Si, Jie Er reluctantly stand at his original post. 'Madam, please don't kill the master! We all still need him to live', Jie Er cried in his heart.

Just as Jie Er and Jie Si is bickering, Mu Jiu Jiu and Long Qing is bickering in another tent. "Qing, why do we have to move to a smaller tent? Why couldn't the white haired guy move instead of us?", Mu Jiu Jiu didn't want to live in a smaller tent. It's enough for her to live in an army camp with a bunch of sweaty and smelly guys but for her to live in a small tent too, it's too atrocious!

"Jiu Jiu, could you stop? We are like this because of you. I am trying to settle this problem that was caused by your mistake! And instead of being grateful, you are now ranting. So please stop!", Long Qing is trying to keep his temper from bursting out, burning Mu Jiu Jiu in its rage.

"Qing, I didn't mean for that to happen. You thought I want Long Jie to die? No! I never wanted that!", the emotions Mu Jiu Jiu tried to hide spilled out from her mouth like water. The injustice she felt from being judge and misunderstood for the past weeks, finally couldn't be hide anymore. She hates everything!

"Jiu Jiu, I think it's best for you to remain here. If it's too cramped for you, I will stay at the common tent. And another thing, don't offend the Qilin sect's diviner, we could not afford to offend the people from the Qilin sect", Long Qing warned Mu Jiu Jiu once again. He didn't know where it went wrong for the once smart woman he decided to protect, turned into someone he barely knows anymore.

"Qing, why did you treat me like this?", Mu Jiu Jiu cried. What is so wrong for her to be punished like this? Why is she being mistreated everywhere she go?

"Jiu Jiu, I hope you could reflect on your fault for these past few days. Don't bother to step out from this tent", Long Qing hastily left Mu Jiu Jiu on her own. He couldn't take more of her selfishness. Nothing is going in his way today; first Li Xi Rui pushing him away; second, Long Jie has been rescued by the Qilin sect's diviner; third, even Mu Jiu Jiu is trying to test his limit. He is fed up! He just wants the war to be over with so he could get back in track. Going into the common tent, he drinks a jar of wine. Even if a jar couldn't make him drunk, at the very least it could make him numb and forget about her; about Li Xi Rui.

A tent full of love; a tent full of schemes; a tent full of selfishness; another full of sorrow; while the rest full of tired soldiers; such is the situation in the Qi Kingdom's army camp. It is strange as it can be. Maybe a story told by old men in a teahouse didn't even have these much conflicts in a scene. But what else could be expected from a play we called reality?

P/s: Oh the irony.... this book is a fantasy.. btw, did you notice the tragedy tag for this book? Yeah, Tragedy, tragedy and more tragedy.
