Chapter 170 Waiting for someone to come

Wen Yu was completely buried in an unknown dark haze, his breathing was almost barely audible.

Shen Yu couldn't see his facial expression clearly, but just held his cold palm tightly, trying to feel some emotional fluctuations from it.

Shen Yu knew the ending of his previous life, and knew the ending after he returned to Chengyuan Mountain, but now Wen Yu was still heading towards this dead end.

He might have imagined it beautifully, but the reality was not like that. Chengyuan Mountain was no longer their refuge. The reputation of the Demon Queen Wen Yu was completely ruined. Even Mo Qianyu did not believe him and even wanted to kill him. The remaining brothers and sisters on the mountain probably hated him to the extreme.

Wen Yu flattered the emperor and was willing to be the emperor's plaything as a man. Cheng Yuanshan had long regarded him as an enemy.

So... Wen Yu, what would you choose if you knew about this situation?

Where are you going next?

If you have nothing left, you are already at the end of your rope. Are those people imprisoned in the palace still worth your life?

"Ha." Wen Yu leaned against the corner of the wall. He laughed for no apparent reason, and Shen Yu couldn't help but frown.

"Shen Yu, what are you afraid of?" Wen Yu suddenly grabbed Shen Yu's arm. Shen Yu was caught off guard. He leaned forward and lost his support, with half of his body falling into Wen Yu's arms.

Wen Yu's fingers caressed Shen Yu's ears soothingly. He bowed his head and said, "They are them, and I am me. I went to save them out of consideration for our fellow disciples and to make myself feel at peace with myself."

Shen Yu buried half of his face in Wen Yu's abdomen. His eyes trembled slightly as he listened to every word Wen Yu said in silence.

"I don't know what they think of me now. Maybe the situation won't be that bad, or it may be terrible." Wen Yu's eyes darkened, he hugged Shen Yu's body, and a slight smile appeared at the corners of his lips, "But you are with me, and everything will be fine in the future."

"The world is so big, and Chengyuan Mountain is not the only place I want to go." Wen Yu said, "I can go to other places with you, such as dense forests, wilderness, mountain roads... It's all fine."

Shen Yu lowered his eyelashes. Wen Yu's voice rang out above him, making him feel a mixture of bitterness and sweetness for no reason.

"My queen, I can't bear hardships. I don't want to live a hard life with you in a remote corner." Shen Yu hugged Wen Yu's waist tightly, his brows knitted, and said in a muffled voice, "You have to be innocent and take me to a good place openly, otherwise I don't want you."

Wen Yu laughed and said, "Why didn't I know you were so valuable before?"

Shen Yu didn't say anything.

Wen Yu was helpless. He kissed Shen Yu's earlobe and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you suffer."

Shen Yu then turned his gaze upwards. Wen Yu sensed his gaze and reached out to cover half of his cheek: "Do you dare to bet on this round?"

Shen Yu tilted his head slightly, his eyelashes thickly curled, quickly passing through Wen Yu's palm.

"If the queen dares to bet, I dare to bet too." Shen Yu covered Wen Yu's right hand that was covering his face with one hand. He smiled and said, "Let's make a deal first. The house I live in in the future cannot be smaller than this Kunning Palace."

Wen Yu sneered, and he kissed the corner of Shen Yu's lips, and said generously, "Okay."

The air in the house was thick with people, and soon the light outside the window was blocked out. Those secret places were shrouded in darkness, and soon all sounds were hidden.

Wen Yu had to walk slowly in the hall every afternoon. His recovery was much faster than Shen Yu had imagined. Perhaps it was because of the effect of the medicine, the power that Wen Yu had lost over the years was slowly gathering in his body.

Wen Yu used the excuse of recovery to fight Shen Yu twice. Shen Yu's skills were not as good as Mu Yuyi's, but he was very skilled and his moves were crisp and clear. He could see through the opponent's fatal point in just one or two seconds every time.

Wen Yu was just a rookie in Shen Yu's eyes. Shen Yu deliberately let him take two or three moves, then lightly lifted his leg and pushed him to the edge of the bed.

"My lady, I'm ranked 88th in the studio. With your skills, you'd probably be ranked 188th."

Shen Yu said as he pulled Wen Yu up from the bed. Wen Yu's breath was unstable, and he held on to the bedpost beside him to stand up. Upon hearing this, he looked over coldly and said, "Wait."

Shen Yu raised his eyebrows, hummed, and said, "Okay, Madam. I'll wait."

Wen Yu was breathing heavily. He reached out and grabbed the crutch beside him, then walked slowly toward the outside of the bead curtain.

Shen Yu saw him walking away and suddenly said, "Madam, a friend of mine is coming tonight. Do you want to meet him?"

Wen Yu stopped and turned to look at Shen Yu, with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "You still have friends?"

Shen Yu: “…”

Shen Yu walked up to Wen Yu, took the cane from Wen Yu's hand, and asked him to hold his arm: "You have also met a friend from the studio. He helped us stop the Mu Yu Yi when we got out of the well that day."

Wen Yu had some impression after hearing this: "What is he doing here?"

Shen Yu supported Wen Yu and walked forward for a distance. He said calmly, "I don't know either, but he doesn't seem to have any ill intentions towards us."

Wen Yu frowned and asked, "Then what should I do?"

"He seems a little worried about you, so in order to make him feel at ease, you can just sleep normally at that time." Shen Yu said as he looked at Wen Yu, "Of course you can also pretend to sleep and eavesdrop."

Wen Yu: “…”

He sneered: "I don't have such petty thoughts as you said. I am not interested in your affairs. You'd better speak softly and don't disturb me."

Shen Yu shifted his gaze and said, "Okay."

Wen Yu pursed his lips, glanced at Shen Yu, walked a few steps, and then returned to his bed to rest.

Shen Yu was still drawing the blueprint of the imperial palace. Wen Yu looked over there through the pearl curtain and saw that Shen Yu was writing seriously, and had not noticed what Wen Yu was doing.

Wen Yu fumbled around for a small medicine box next to his bed. He looked through the piles of bottles and jars inside for a while and found a small medicine bottle with a red label.

The five senses awareness pill can enhance various functions of the human body in a short period of time.

Wen Yu turned his back and swallowed a pill.

Shen Yu extinguished the candles at a fixed time at night. Wen Yu went to bed early tonight, perhaps because he walked back and forth dozens of times in the afternoon and his body could not bear it and felt tired.

Shen Yu sat in the dark, closing his eyes and listening to the movements around him. At midnight, he heard the sound of subtle footsteps above the eaves. The sound stopped for nearly four or five minutes before it changed direction and moved towards the edge.

After a while, a figure jumped down from above. The door of the outer hall was quietly opened and quickly closed. Shen Yu opened his eyes and saw the little palace maid with an oval face walking towards him again in the morning.

"Brother, why can't you lift the bricks on the eaves?" Ying Shiqi frowned and rubbed his arm. He complained, "I got dust all over my hands."

Shen Yu: “…”
