Chapter 821: Very, Very Good-looking
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Yin Huaixi was silent, but when he saw Yu Youyao looking at him expectantly, he still supported her firmly. “It’s quite good. It’s called Snow Mountain. It belongs to you.”
The snow mountain horse belonged to the Northern Barbarians.
Snow Mountain only belonged to Yu Youyao.
Actually, this name seemed to be not bad.
Yu Youyao had obtained a good horse and used a good name that she thought was not bad but was actually lazy. When she thought of the scene of Yin Huaixi getting on the horse and galloping away, she suddenly felt a sense of heroism.
She raised her foot and stepped on the pedal, holding the saddle with both hands. Her figure was flexible to begin with, and she was not weak. With a little strength from her legs, she flipped herself onto the horse and was a little nimble.
Yin Huaixi had taught her the posture of riding a horse previously. Yu Youyao sat on the horse’s back and pushed her feet hard against the pedal. Her body leaned forward slightly and she braced her legs against the horse’s stomach. Soon, she adjusted her posture and looked down at Yin Huaixi. She smiled brightly. “Am I riding in the right posture?”
“That’s right.” Yin Huaixi stepped forward to hold the reins of the horse. “I’ll hold the horse first and bring you around a few times. Get used to the feeling of riding a horse first.”
He patted the horse’s abdomen lightly. The horse snorted and beat its hooves, then slowly walked around the flat area of the canyon.
The pony wasn’t that tall and its height was just right. The back of the horse was a little wider. Yu Youyao was a beginner. The saddle was made of wood. It was covered with soft skin and filled with fluff. Moreover, the front and the back of the saddle was raised. The low part in the middle was very suitable for riding. If she sat for a long time, it wouldn’t grind her thighs.
Yin Huaixi said, “The wooden saddle is softer. After you get used to riding, the jade saddle is more suitable for running and you won’t be so tired.”
Jade would be polished into small beads. Then, the small jade pieces were inlaid in the saddle. When a person sat on them, although the saddle was not soft, it relieved the fatigue of a long run. The jade was delicate and smooth, and would not hurt their hips.
His horse was equipped with a jade saddle.
Previously, Yu Youyao wasn’t used to sitting there, so he changed the saddle to a wood saddle this time.
After walking around the canyon for about 15 minutes, Yu Youyao had gradually adapted to riding a horse. Her body naturally relaxed and she was no longer as nervous as before.
Yin Huaixi handed the reins to Yu Youyao and let her ride on her own.
After riding for a while, Yin Huaixi suddenly patted the horse’s stomach.
The horse neighed and suddenly spread its hooves, beginning to jog.
“Ah…” Yu Youyao exclaimed, and her face immediately turned pale. Her body subconsciously leaned back and she pulled the reins hard. The wide-skinned reins were so tight that her palms felt hot and painful.
However, not only did the horse not stop, but it also ran faster and faster. She shouted in panic, “Snow Mountain, don’t run. Stop quickly. Snow Mountain, don’t run…”
“Hey, hey, slow down, Snow Mountain. Don’t run…”
“Nineteenth Brother, you, quickly stop Snow Mountain…”
“…”
Yin Huaixi clenched his fists and held them to his lips as he laughed softly for a while. He raised his voice and said, “Lean forward slightly. Don’t lean back. Don’t stare at the horse’s head. You have to look at the road in front of you. Kick the horse’s stomach hard with your legs and step on the pedal hard. At this speed, you won’t be thrown off. Don’t pull the reins desperately. If there’s an obstacle on the left, pull the reins hard to the right so that the horse can avoid the obstacle. Also, don’t be nervous…”
After sitting on a horse a few times, Yu Youyao had some experience. In addition, Yin Huaixi was still present. Although she was a little afraid, she did not lose her mind. Snow Mountain did not run very quickly. When she heard Yin Huaixi’s words, she tried to adjust her sitting posture.
At first, Yin Huaixi was very calm. He thought to himself that at this speed, no matter how Yu Youyao rode, she wouldn’t fall off the horse. With him watching from the side, if she fell, he could catch Yu Youyao before she fell.
Soon, he was slapped in the face.
In fact, riding a horse had nothing to do with the speed of the horse or its safety. It had to do with the person on the horse.
No matter how experienced one was, the words “concern makes one confused” were simply everywhere and seeped into one’s heart.
Therefore, every time Yin Huaixi heard Yu Youyao’s exclamation, he subconsciously held his breath. When he heard her shout, his back subconsciously tensed up.
He watched as she tugged at the reins of the horse, left and right. The horse charged wildly in the canyon, and he was even more terrified.
His gaze was even better as he stared at her without blinking. He wished he could fly forward immediately and carry her off the horse. Then, he would say to her, “Let’s stop learning. I don’t want to teach you how to ride a horse anymore. No matter where I go in the future, I’ll bring you along…”
Another long period of chaos passed. After Yu Youyao struggled for about two moments, she finally felt something.
However, Yin Huaixi felt as if his body had also been emptied. His head was dizzy, his eyes were blank, his ears were ringing, his legs felt weak, and there was a lingering chill on his back.
In a daze, he realized that his inner clothes had been wet a few times.
At this moment, a large rock appeared in front of her. Yu Youyao had been riding for so long, but she had never encountered it before. She was immediately shocked by such a big roadblock. In panic, she tugged at the reins of the horse. She pulled one of the reins to the left and and the other to the right. It was chaotic. Not only did the horse not stop, but it also rushed forward.
Yu Youyao cried out in shock, “Nineteenth Brother, I’ve pulled the reins of the horse. Why is Snow Mountain still rushing forward? Ah, ah, I bumped into it. Nineteenth Brother, help…”
The leather reins were tough. Yu Youyao tightened them. When they were still a distance away from the stone, the front hooves of Snow Mountain suddenly raised and its body leaned back. The tightened reins suddenly loosened.
Yu Youyao’s body was unstable. Her body tilted and she fell off the horse.
Yin Huaixi was stunned. His body reacted faster than his head. He rolled forward and hugged Yu Youyao as a cushion.
He had planned it perfectly.
Yu Youyao happened to land in his arms. He protected Yu Youyao’s head with one hand and her waist with the other, protecting her tightly in his arms. He rolled twice on the ground to cushion Yu Youyao’s fall, in case she was injured.
The arms protecting her behind her head and back blocked the hardness of the ground for her, preventing her from being injured at all.
Yu Youyao’s pale face was tense as she closed her eyes tightly. Her eyelashes couldn’t help but tremble in fear. Perhaps because she was shocked, her thin figure trembled in his arms.
After a long while, the pain she had expected did not come. Yu Youyao’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes. What she saw was a section of Yin Huaixi’s neck.
His skin was very fair. It was different from the pearl-like fairness of a woman. It was a cold white like bone stone, giving off a cold and tenacious feeling. His Adam’s apple protruded from his neck and slid up and down, showing her the difference in the structure of men’s and women’s bodies.
It just looked very good.
