Chapter 571.1: One Stabbed, One Killed
After she finished admiring her body, the bottom of her eyes penetrated with heavy darkness again. The tip of her tongue licked her blood red lips, “Should say, as expected of the man I fancy. Even at this point now, to actually still be able to withstand, heh, really getting more and more interesting.” She turned around. Sure enough, still need to go see her prey again. Even if unable to approach, but, the closer the distance, the stronger the reaction between the love-locking gu. Of course, between the love-locking gu, it can’t exceed a ten li radius to begin with. The farther apart, the more irritable the love-locking gu will be, and correspondingly, the host will also feel very unwell.
———What’s going on, to actually not feel anything at all? Impossible, how could this kind of situation appear?
The saintess furrowed her brows. Things seemingly were a bit beyond her antic.i.p.ation. Towards something that she was originally very certain of, this while, she also couldn’t help but produce a trace of doubt.
In reality, from the start, certain feelings that originally should’ve made one delighted just wasn’t that deeply penetrating.
How to put it, just like the blood vessels that extended throughout the entire body, it originally should be free-flowing with no obstructions, yet seemingly in certain subtle areas, it got clogged up. And as for where it was clogged, one just didn’t know. Originally, because of unable to find, thus ignored, yet this while, this kind of feeling once again became intense.
Having spent time and energy, yet things didn’t develop as expected, this already made one irritated to begin with. If things still exceed the controllable range, then it further can’t be tolerated.
She once again risked the dangers and approached Li Hong Yuan’s place, similarly getting heartlessly blocked.
The saintess didn’t reckless advance, but didn’t retreat either.
In this moment, seemingly everyone all got casted a spell, all frozen in place, not budging an inch.
The sky gradually lit up, “Someone come.” Inside the room, Li Hong Yuan finally opened his mouth.
And once he opened his mouth, the world seemingly came to life again. The saintess also sensed the existence of the male gu in his body. Perception-wise, it’s not like there weren’t any harvest. At least, the male gu’s control towards him seemingly was increasing. That’s why, she previously must have thought too much?!
“Master.” The person at the doorway quickly entered.
“Prepare water for a bath.” He previously was more or less just like having gotten fished out from the water, and having sat for this long, his wet clothes seemingly all dried quite a bit. But, the clothes sticking to his skin was also quite uncomfortable. Furthermore, he had some pet peeves to begin with.
The time in which Li Hong Yuan bathed was neither long nor short, rather quite average. The only thing out of place was probably just having Gong Jiu serving by the side. However, Eunuch Mu wasn’t present, so no matter which of the people by his side served him, it seemingly all wasn’t a problem.
Stepping out the door, facing the first glimmer of dawn, his peerlessly handsome face reflected, radiating with vigor, and perhaps because of not having emotions, he appeared to not have the slightest air of the mortal world, increasingly like a deity of the Ninth Heaven. Facing him, one just wanted to submit.
Turning his head, he looked towards that so-called saintess. Originally, because of the love-locking gu, they should be the most intimate pair, yet this while, he instead looked to her as if she was nothing.
However, her inherent feeling wasn’t that relaxing. Despite how arrogant and conceited she was, being wors.h.i.+pped like the stars cupping the moon, high and above, this while, she still couldn’t help but somewhat s.h.i.+ver, her legs going limp. If not for clenching her teeth and enduring, perhaps she would’ve embarra.s.sed herself on the spot.
TN: All
Merely a fleeting glance, completely not having the other party taken seriously.
But for certain people, compared to getting looked down on, what they further couldn’t tolerate was getting ignored. This saintess unsurprisingly was just this type.
Her body shook more and more obviously, but this time, it was because of anger.
“Have someone prepare the meal for w.a.n.gfei.”
He already didn’t have feelings, yet still thinking of as such. This made the saintess unbearably burn inside, her jealousy all about to drown her. But, no matter how her emotions surged, it was still unable to affect Li Hong Yuan. Even though her emotions actually affected the love-locking gu in his body, but so what?
No matter how discontent, she was still unable to do anything.
After slightly returning to her senses, she suddenly realized, Luo Jing Wan was about to arrive. She naturally was very clear, but how did Li Hong Yuan know? Reasonably speaking, he shouldn’t know. That was the ‘surprise’ she prepared for him. Looking at it now, the people by his side all weren’t surprised in the slightest, their expression calm. It can be seen, they didn’t just learn of this news recently.
That’s why, things sure enough exceeded her antic.i.p.ation? d.a.m.n it!
Calm down, calm down, even if exceeding the expectations, there was still the subst.i.tute gu’s child gu in Luo Jing Wan’s body. That’s why, even if things aren’t that perfect, she still held the upper hand. They not only can’t touch her, they even need to nicely protect her. As long as she’s alive, then there will always be the opportunity to turn things around.
Speaking of which, she has endured again and again. That time, when it was the most painful, she’d all endured, so what did this count as?
The meal was prepared. Li Hong Yuan also used some. Compared to before, he even ate a bit more.
Li Hong Yuan placed down the chopsticks, nonchalantly using the handkerchief to wipe his hands, appearing like as if he’d completely returned to his usual n.o.ble and graceful self, not having any negative emotions, nor the icy mannerism from previously when deliberately controlling his emotions. “Once w.a.n.gfei arrives, nicely serve her in using the meal. Afterwards, come to the backside to look for this prince.”
“Yes.”
Normal to the point where it wasn’t normal.
During this period of time, he’d always been abnormal, so to suddenly become normal, that was just not normal.
Seeing that w.a.n.gfei is arriving soon, since still attentive and considerate, then why can’t he just stay behind and wait for her? Is it because of not having feelings, thus just looking after past sentiments, yet not to the point of letting him be like in the past, accompanying her at all times?
Jing Wan and them actually have long arrived outside the mountain cavity. However, because of not knowing the situation inside, they temporarily didn’t act blindly without thinking. And the people outside, for the most part, already got disposed of.
And just as they were discussing how they should contact Li Hong Yuan, someone came out from the mountain cavity. It was the head of the guards.
“Greetings w.a.n.gfei.”
Generally speaking, once she sees him, her heart should settle down a little, but strangely, her heart instead somewhat uncontrollably sped up. It wasn’t nervousness, nor excitement, the feeling more towards the bad side. “Where’s your w.a.n.gye, is he still okay?” This was nothing more than what Jing Wan was worried about the most, the rest………..
“Replying to w.a.n.gfei, w.a.n.gye is still fine. Previously, w.a.n.gye already ordered someone to prepare the morning meal, just waiting for you.”
Jing Wan subconsciously clenched her fist. If it’s really like this, then he should personally come see her, but he didn’t. “What’s the situation exactly, tell me clearly, not allowed to hide anything.”
Guard Qian actually wasn’t too clear exactly what his master’s condition was like right now. That’s why, he naturally just said what he knew, specifically everything that has happened on the surface, aside from the matter of the subst.i.tute gu.
The reason why he hid the matter of the subst.i.tute gu, it was also just not wanting to let Jing Wan have burdens inside, yet he never thought that Jing Wan actually knew already.
Love-locking gu?! d.a.m.n it! Jing Wan truly has never loathed those bugs like as in this moment. However, even that strange and aggressive of a thing, he was all able to resist, Jing Wan was moved yet also heartached. It goes without saying that for something that has never failed before, to want to fight against, it absolutely wasn’t that easy of a thing.
He already doesn’t have any feelings towards her? Jing Wan although was a bit sad, but it didn’t matter, didn’t matter! It certainly can be resolved. Moreover, a true and sincere love, to just casually get influenced by a mere bug, that would just be too much of a joke. To be able to get influenced by an external force, perhaps can only mean that it still wasn’t true enough, not deep enough. She believed in him!
Jing Wan let go of her tightly clenched fist, lightly exhaling, “Then let’s go in.” She rather want to see, exactly who was having delusions about her husband.
Jing Wan’s reaction actually surprised Guard Qian. However, carefully thinking it over, it seemingly wasn’t that hard to understand. Their feelings were true and sincere. Their trust towards one another, no one can compare.
With Guard Qian leading the way, the path was actually without any obstructions. However, certain people were originally just thinking of ways to have her brought over, so there was truly no reason to stop her. Moreover, the trump card was still in their hands, so perhaps they simply didn’t care whose hand she was in right now.
The mountain cavity didn’t have any peculiar areas, for the most part able to sweep through with a glance. Why would the other party choose such a place? Jing Wan didn’t believe there wasn’t a reason for this.
Jing Wan originally thought that her own husband, even if not going out to greet her, after coming in, she should still be able to see him first thing, yet right now, there wasn’t even a shadow. And that carrier of the female love-locking gu similarly didn’t appear. However, according to Jing Wan’s predictions, the mother gu of the subst.i.tute gu in her body should also be on that woman. Because only this way, will many things make sense. Regarding this bit, since Guard Qian had concealed from her, then she didn’t plan on asking either.
Entering the house, seeing the food arranged on the table, Jing Wan still didn’t see the person she wanted to see the most. The bad premonition once again intensifying.
“Where’s your w.a.n.gye? Where is he right now?” Not coming out to meet her was still understandable, but how should ‘avoiding her’ be explained?
“w.a.n.gfei, w.a.n.gye is behind the house. Why don’t you first use the the meal. Later, this subordinate will lead you over.”
“No need, I’ll go meet him first.” When the person was near, yet unable to see, how can one still be able to eat?
“w.a.n.gfei.” As Jing Wan was about to turn, Guard Qian reached out to block her, “w.a.n.gfei, please forgive, w.a.n.gye has instructed to let you use the meal first. Don’t worry, w.a.n.gye will continuously wait for you. Even if not considering for yourself, still think of the child in your stomach.”
Jing Wan looked to him. Even if eating at a fixed time on the dot, it’s still merely just a bit of time right now. To insist on letting her eat something before going over, then perhaps after she sees him, she might further not have an appet.i.te.
Guard Qian felt his scalp somewhat go numb under Jing Wan’s stare, but he still firmly stood in place, not yielding.
