The burning star hung in the sky, scorching the earth like a great furnace, not even the slightest bit of humidity in the air.
After walking in a hurry for more than eight hours, Luo Xun felt that her throat was so dry that she could emit smoke and her lips dry chapped.
Men from Dragon Blood Unit were still in hot pursuit. Fortunately, 'Xunzhao Vine' made some trouble from time to time and helped them bought time.
Yin Nanzhao looked around and walked to a large rock, "Rest awhile."
Luo Xun hurriedly got under the rock's shadow to hide from the sun.
Yin Nanzhao stood on the rock. He fiddled with the communicator and found unexpectedly found a small signal, receiving an encrypted message from Red Dove.
Luo Xun asked: "Is there a way to leave this energy star?"
Yin Nanzhao jumped off the rock, "It's a coordinates. Let's go and see."
Luo Xun crawled out from the shadows, "Let's go!"
Yin Nanzhao glanced at her red face and crouched down
in front of her, "I'll carry you."
Luo Xun smiled and refused, "I'm okay. Let's go!"
Yin Nanzhao asked coldly, "If it is Qian Xu, will you refuse?"
Luo Xun looked at Yin Nanzhao in amazement. No way! Jealous again?
Yin Nanzhao stared sharply at Luo Xun, "Dare to tell the truth?"
"Dare! If it is Qian Xu, I will not refuse."
Yin Nanzhao laughed as if nothing had happened and grabbed Luo Xun's hand then continued to climb up without saying a word.
Luo Xun asked, "Are you angry?"
"No."
"Really not?"
Yin Nanzhao smiled at her. He looked into her eyes and said in all sincerity, "Really no."
Luo Xun tightly pursed her lips, holding back her laughter with great difficulty. No matter how good his acting skills were, he couldn't hide that he was really jealous!
He must though that the one she liked was Qian Xu, not him, and to him was just empathy.
She never expected the mighty Yin Nanzhao could be so emotionally insecure. Originally, Luo Xun still wanted to tease him for a little, but seeing that he started to abuse himself again, she became really reluctant.
She took Yin Nanzhao's arm with both hands and leaned on him all over, "Qian Xu bears only me alone. I like him, so naturally I would like him to carry me. Yin Nanzhao has already carried too many things. I like him, so naturally I would feel more sentimental to him. Even though I can't help him share the burden, I still don't want to burden him anymore."
Yin Nanzhao unknowingly slowed down. He looked at the rugged meandering
mountain road ahead, his dark eyes revealed unspeakable sadness. Luo Xun shook his arm, "I want to walk side by side with you."
Yin Nanzhao pulled Luo Xun into his arms and hugged her in silence.
Luo Xun said softly, "I want to walk alone, not because I don't need you, but because I know that when I need you, you will definitely be there. Because there's a patron, so I could step forward with confidence! "
From the first time they met, when she was lost, when she was lonely, when she was afraid, when she was sad, and when she was in danger, whether he was Qian Xu or Yin Nanzhao, he would always be by her side.
Even when Qian Xu died, he was there too!
Luo Xun suddenly ignored him and stomped him hard on his feet, pushing him away angrily and was about to leave.
Yin Nanzhao yet reached out with his long arms and hugged her tightly from behind, "I'm sorry!"
Luo Xun raised her eyebrows, "Sorry for what?" She hadn't even said why she was suddenly angry for no reason.
Yin Nanzhao voice was low, "The only thing I've done to make you angry was that."
Luo Xun thought about it carefully. Indeed, after knowing each other for more than ten years, he really did only this one thing that made her angry and sad. Luo Xun felt that she was either crazy, or that she was poisoned by Yin Nanzhao, for that she could actually felt a trace of sweetness from the pain of the broken heart.
She gave him a heavy elbow, "Such a flowery speech, this I'll go back and slowly settle the account with you!"
Yin Nanzhao laughed and whispered next to her ear, "You take your time. Anyway, I'm already ready to give you all my lifetime."
Luo Xun's ears heated and her heart beat, fortunately her face was already red from the sun so he couldn't tell. She covered up and said, "Dragon blood unit is still chasing behind. Let's hurry up and go!"
Yin Nanzhao held her hand and climbed up the rugged mountain road silently with the corner of his mouth kept smiling.
After a while, Luo Xun's rapid heartbeat then gradually calmed down.
Yin Nanzhao suddenly said in all seriousness, "Xiao Xun, I forgot to tell you something."
"What?"
"Level 3a strength can hear people's heartbeat."
Luo Xun was stunned for a moment before she realized and her heartbeat which had just calmed down was chaotic again.

When it was completely dark, Yin Nanzhao and Luo Xun finally found a road and got out of the valley.
They hid in a hidden pile of rocks. After observing for a while, they found that they were surrounded…
Teams of soldiers carrying a loaded firearm patrolled back and forth. Heavy armored vehicles were set up every few hundred meters. From time to time, surveillance aircraft would roar and flew low in the sky. It looked like a heavily guarded military fortress, not a temporary round-up point at all.
Luo Xun said: "They must have obtained the map and arranged heavy siege at all exits in advance. No matter where we come out, we will fall into their nets."
Yin Nanzhao said, "It's strange."
"How's it strange?"
"The Dragon Blood unit purpose is to take back Princess Lorraine and General Joseph, not to hunt down and kill two pirates with heavy force."
Luo Xun thought about it. True! Even if they knew that the Black Crow pirate had something to do with Odin Federation, it wouldn't make sense. If it was just to hunt down and kill two pirates of the Black Crow, it would definitely not be this kind of nets spread upon earth and sky forces. Dragon Blood unit should focus its forces to hunt down the spaceship and rescue Princess Lorraine and General Joseph.
Yin Nanzhao said: "Unless they know that one of these two lone pirates is more important than Princess Lorraine and General Joseph combined together."
Luo Xun's brains quickly figure out that it couldn't be her. She was put into the spaceship by Anda on a whim at the last moment. Even Yin Nanzhao didn't know it, let alone the Dragon Blood Unit. Since it's not her, it could only be...
Luo Xun looked at Yin Nanzhao in horror. Dragon Blood unit already knew that Consul of Odin Federation was here!
Yin Nanzhao smiled helplessly, "Although I don't know how they knew, it seems that only this guess can reasonably explain the current situation."
Luo Xun said impatiently, "Let's go back to the valley and find another way out."
"Now the valley is filled with soldiers from Dragon Blood Unit. Going back is very possible to encounter them directly. Moreover, other exit must be the same like this." He took off his military bag and put it on Luo Xun's back, "Let's go separately and meet at the coordinates"
"No!"
Yin Nanzhao tried to convince Luo Xun: "Without protecting and taking care of you, I can run away in full strength without any worries. With me attracting their attention, it will be easier for you to escape. This is a good choice for both of us."
"No!"
No matter how nice Yin Nanzhao said, Luo Xun was stubbornly refused. Although his words sounded very reasonable, but Luo Xun's experience told her that the last time someone in the rock forest said to move separately, and nothing good happened. She must never listen to him again!
Suddenly, Luo Xun had a flash of inspiration. She interrupted Yin Nanzhao's chatter, "If Ye Jie wants to capture
you, he must send the Dragon Blood unit's elite, right?"
"Anyone who wants to capture Yin Nanzhao must give all one has."
"I was secretly sent to the spaceship by Anda. Even you didn't know that I was on the spaceship. Ye Jie also couldn't know that."
"Um."
"Do you believe me?"
Yin Nanzhao nodded without hesitation.
"I may have a way to get through here safely, but you need to get two sets of their combat uniforms without alarming anyone."
Yin Nanzhao quickly thought and immediately understood Luo Xun's plan, "Wait for me here."
He disappeared like a ghost in the blink of an eye. Luo Xun curled and hid in the rock crevice, quietly waited.
After a while, a person wearing Dragon Blood unit combat uniform and helmet appeared in front of Luo Xun.
Luo Xun smiled and said, "Nanzhao?"
Yin Nanzhao took off his helmet. He stared at Luo Xun, and said softly, "Call me again!"
Luo Xun looked at the same face as Qian Xu and said gently, "Nanzhao."
Yin Nanzhao leaned over and kissed her lips lightly like a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water. He put a dragon blood unit combat uniform in her arms and turned his back, "You change clothes first."
Luo Xun looked at his red ears in astonishment, unable to believe that the majestic Yin Nanzhao was actually so shy!
After thinking about it, she thought that weeping and laughing could be pretend, but blushing was impossible to pretend. It was a natural physiological response that was as uncontrollable as a heartbeat.
It turned out that the root cause Qian Xu's blushing without doing anything was here!
Luo Xun snickered while putting on her combat uniform, "I'm done."
Yin Nanzhao turned around and handed her a tube of nutrient.
Luo Xun pursed her chapped lips and took it immediately. She drank half the tube in one gulp and handed the rest back to Yin Nanzhao.
Yin Nanzhao's eyes were loving and tender, "I've already drank it, robbed two man and got two sets of clothes and two tubes of nutrient just right."
Luo Xun was no longer holding back and drank the rest.
