An entire day later.

As Xiaoyun and his army stopped, they were only two-thirds of the way to the Human Bridge.

The sun had moved from one side of the horizon to the other, and the moon had already risen in the east.

Around them were several buildings along a highway, with all of their doors completely busted open.

Dried blood stains could be seen almost at every footstep, indicating Xiaoyun''s army had already cleared them in the past.

Xiaoyun ordered one of the Colonels to occupy the buildings as a scouting tower, and the rest of the army began setting up camp.

"I''m so tired..." Kate yawned, barely having any energy left in her body as she put down her backpack.

"You can sleep in early if you want. You don''t have to follow me later. I''m just going to walk around for a bit."

As Xiaoyun began unpacking his backpack, several soldiers came to offer help, but he rejected their offer.

After a few minutes of setting up, a small little tent was finally set up on the highway alongside all the other tents nearby.

There weren''t any big HQ tents this time, as all of them were still in the supply trucks at Humen Bridge.

"You can sleep inside my tent for a bit if you want," Xiaoyun said as he left his backpack outside.

"I can sleep later. I''m not that tired."

Xiaoyun didn''t try to persuade her any further as she followed him around the entire camping site to inspect the soldiers.

As he walked down the road, he could see the soldiers were extremely exhausted, yet none of them complained out loud.

They all saluted him the moment he walked past before returning to setting up their tents or cooking dinner for the night.

After walking all the way to the buildings, he was greeted by the vanguard unit in the front, cooking their food outside.

"Good evening, commander!" One of the soldiers with squad rank said before the others could.

"Good evening... Where''s your Colonel right now?" Xiaoyun curiously asked.

"He''s at the top of the building right now."

"Thank you."

As Xiaoyun headed into the building, hundreds of soldiers saluted him, except for those who were already asleep in their sleeping bags.

Xiaoyun saluted back but signaled them not to wake the others up as he headed towards the stairs before going up.

After walking all the way to the top, he finally sees the Colonel and several soldiers with their binoculars.

"Good evening, commander."

"Good evening... I had seen you before, hadn''t I?" Xiaoyun asked as a sense of familiarity hit him.

"Yes... I was in one of your units when we were rescuing civilians from Guangzhou."

"Ah, no wonder... Ahem, if your unit sees anything, you can make the decision first before reporting it to me."

The Colonel nodded before Xiaoyun turned around and headed towards the stairs again.

As Xiaoyun and Kate both arrived at the ground floor again, they headed out again before going to visit the Colonels one by one.

The moment Xiaoyun leaned down in the sleeping bag, neither of them could move a single inch at all.

They could instantly smell each other''s sweat from all the walking they had done, yet they didn''t feel disgusted by it at all.

"D-Don''t move..."

Kate scooched up a little as she immediately felt something quickly rising underneath Xiaoyun''s underwear, bumping directly below her panties.

At the same time, Xiaoyun could feel her body starting to react, feeling her panties start to form a wet spot.

"Let''s just go to sleep. We still have a lot of walking to do tomorrow..." Xiaoyun murmured as he resisted the urge to flip her over.

"Yeah..."

As the outside soon became almost completely dark, they both closed their eyes and tried to fall asleep.

However, their heartbeat told a completely different story.

"Xiaoyun, do you need me to relieve it a little?"

Kate whispered, her blushing red face fully visible as the moonlight shining illuminated from above.

The beauty stunned Xiaoyun for a second before he shook his head slightly in rejection.

As the tent went back to silent, Kate started moving her body a little as if she wanted to roll over. Read exclusive chapters at mvl

However, there was simply not enough space, causing her body to rub against Xiaoyun''s body over and over again.

"Kate, you want me to flip you over?" Xiaoyun asked as he finally understood what she was trying to do.

Seeing her nodding a little, Xiaoyun helped her finally flip around and have them face each other directly.

But Xiaoyun quickly closed his eyes, avoiding eye contact with Kate, who did the same thing as him.

After lying still for a while, Xiaoyun eventually fell asleep as he didn''t resist the drowsiness setting in.

However, Kate was the polar opposite, as she suddenly felt a sense of nostalgia.

They were in the same position less than two months ago, trapped underneath the rubble with no space to move.

She still couldn''t believe she had married the man before her despite barely being romantically involved with him at all.

Yet, she didn''t regret it a single bit.

Instead, her mind was a little happy, fulfilling her childhood wish of marrying a knight.

"A knight would be like him, right?" Kate thought to herself as she examined Xiaoyun''s tanned, muscular body.

He was the perfect man she could ever wish for... From his physical appearance to his unending sex drives.

But the fact he had multiple wives was a thorn inside her heart, a thorn that she could never remove.

Even though she had accepted it the moment she married him, deep inside, she still couldn''t accept him having multiple wives.

"What if I took him all to myself...? No, no, no, what am I thinking? That''s never going to happen."

After removing her fantasy from her brain, Kate eventually fell asleep on the bed as tiredness took over her mind.
