Ning Yin glanced at Shen Yun, who was tearing his hair out on the ground, but showed no intention of paying him any attention. He had done so many things to hurt her and Xiao Xuan, and Ning Yin had already shown mercy by not killing him with a single sword strike.

If it weren't for Shen Yun's trap, she and Xiao Xuan wouldn't have encountered such a dangerous situation and almost lost their lives.

Shen Yun is truly worse than a beast, actually using such despicable means to plot against himself. If he really dies here, then he deserves it.

Thinking it over, Ning Yin ate a small portion of the chicken in the iron pot, and planned to feed the rest to Xiao Xuan when he woke up tomorrow.

After she finished eating, the wind and rain outside had stopped, but because the thatched hut was somewhat dilapidated, several places were leaking water.

But having a room is better than having none. Ning Yin sat by the bed and kept observing Xiao Xuan's condition until dawn, when Xiao Xuan's fever finally subsided. Only then did she lie down beside Xiao Xuan, holding his long sword.

The reason she slept with the sword in her arms was because she was worried that if Shen Yun took advantage of her while she was asleep, she could deal with him in time.

The next day, the sun was shining brightly, and birds were chirping outside. When Ningyin opened her eyes, she saw a disheveled face above her.

Ning Yin was startled and her body trembled in shock. Only then did she realize that the person above her was Shen Yun.

"Why are you getting so close?!"

Ning Yin picked up her sword and pointed it at Shen Yun, only to find Shen Yun staring at her expressionlessly.

He nearly died from snake venom yesterday. In the latter half of the night, as Shen Yun regained some consciousness, he used his sword to cut open his wound and let the blood drain for a long time.

Fortunately, the green snake wasn't highly venomous; it only caused his leg to swell and briefly made him lose consciousness.

After draining the poisonous blood, he found the pot where Ning Yin had stewed chicken soup the night before in the dark, and ate all the chicken soup and chicken meat inside, which restored some of his strength.

Shen Yun leaned against the wall and dozed off all night. When he woke up in the morning, he was furious to see the two of them sleeping soundly in each other's arms. He wished he could kill Xiao Xuan immediately.

Last night, I watched Ning Yin and Xiao Xuan kiss right before my eyes. She didn't even care about my life or death, and just stayed by that bastard Xiao Xuan's side.

He couldn't see clearly at night, but when the sunlight streamed into the room, his eyes burned like fire.

He and Ning Yin had never slept in the same bed. He hadn't seen it with his own eyes before, and he still held onto a sliver of hope, but now he was completely desperate.

"Ning Yin, you are truly shameless! You're sleeping so openly next to another man now. What do you take me for!"

Shen Yun snatched the sword from Ning Yin's hand and viciously pinched the woman's chin with his fingertips, forcing her to look him in the eye.

The muscles on his face twitched almost imperceptibly, and a fleeting glint of tears crossed his eyes.

"Shen Yun, get this straight, it's only natural for me and my husband to sleep in the same bed. But you, clinging to me and refusing to let go, you're the most shameless one!"

Ning Yin responded coldly, reaching out to grab the longsword again, but Shen Yun simply threw it away.

Looking at the icy face of the person in front of him, Shen Yun's gaze shifted downwards, then to the rosy lips that had personally fed Xiao Xuan medicine yesterday, his voice trembling.

"Ning Yin, do you think you can escape from me?!"

The man's eyes held a sinister and terrifying light, and he leaned down to kiss Ning Yin's lips.

"Smack—!"

Instantly, a crisp slap rang out on Shen Yun's left cheek. Shen Yun turned his head to the side, and five bloody finger marks appeared on his face.

The man nodded, sneered, pressed his tongue against his cheek, turned and glared at Ning Yin with a crazed expression.

The next second, he suddenly picked the person up from the bed and slung him over his shoulder.

"Shen Yun, put me down!" Ning Yin pounded on Shen Yun's back and struggled desperately.

"Fine, I can put you down, but only if I kill him right now. You choose!"

Shen Yun threatened sharply. He originally wanted to kill Xiao Xuan directly, but he was afraid that Ning Yin would hate him for the rest of her life.

"You're despicable, Shen Yun, you're utterly disgusting!"

Ning Yin's eyes were filled with tears as she looked at Xiao Xuan, who was still unconscious. She wished she could kill Shen Yun with silver needles right now.

But she never expected this to happen yesterday, and she didn't even have the silver needles with her.

Shen Yun tilted his head slightly and chuckled, "Ayin, I've said before that if we fail this time, I'm no longer Shen. It's already a great favor that I didn't kill him, but you must come with me!"

"I shouldn't have held back yesterday!"

"Heh, you really think you can hurt me!"

After saying this, Shen Yun turned and walked towards the door.

Ning Yin bit his shoulder hard, and Shen Yun frowned tightly, remaining silent as Ning Yin vented her anger on his shoulder.

She could cry, make a scene, fight, or even kill, but Shen Yun didn't care. What he cared about was that Ning Yin had to be with him.

Shen Yun carried Ning Yin with a limp for a while, and then saw many Qingyu Guards carrying swords searching for Xiao Xuan and Ning Yin.

Just as Ning Yin was about to speak, Shen Yun struck her on the shoulder with a palm, and Ning Yin immediately fell into a deep sleep.

"A bunch of useless trash, let's see if you can find it!"

Shen Yun muttered to himself, but continued carrying the man out of the mountain. He was used to fighting on the battlefield and had also fought in deep forests before, so he found the exit with ease.

When Ning Yin woke up again, she found herself lying in Shen Yun's arms.

She raised her hand to slap Shen Yun, but her hand was grabbed by the man before it could even leave her hand in mid-air.

"Ayin, save your energy. It's still about ten hours to get to Chu. You don't want me to carry you the whole time, do you?"

With a smug look on Shen Yun's face, Ning Yin noticed the swaying carriage and her heart skipped a beat.

"Shen Yun, I'm not going to Chu! Let me go!"

"It's not up to you!"

Shen Yun held the person even tighter, lifted the carriage curtain with one hand and looked out. This path was one he had chosen long ago.

Taking this route will not only allow us to reach the State of Chu in the shortest possible time, but also help us avoid the pursuing troops of the State of Qi.

Ning Yin turned to look at the outside world and found that everything around her was unfamiliar, and some of the vegetation was something she had never seen in Daqi before.

Shen Yun lowered the curtain and laughed unrestrainedly.

"Ayin, stop looking. We've been traveling for over ten hours and are about to reach the territory of Chu."

Ning Yin's face turned pale. She didn't even know that she had been knocked unconscious by Shen Yun, and when she woke up, so much time had passed.

"Shen Yun, why can't you let me go? What's the point of what you're doing?!"

"As long as you're by my side, it's meaningful. But you don't need to be reluctant to leave Daqi. When I conquer Daqi, you can still go back legitimately!"

Shen Yun was clearly in a good mood, and the smile on his face only grew wider.
