Chapter 197: Things Start to Get Awkward



Following Shen Jinchen's instructions, Jun Jianchou quickly broke the formations at two locations. He was already extremely talented; he had simply been unwilling to learn these formations before.

After Shen Jinchen carried Cen Xi out of the formation, he quickly used his long sword to remove the vines binding her. When he saw Cen Xi's satisfied smile, his expression changed immediately. He took out a bottle of medicine from his pocket, unscrewed the stopper, and quickly stuffed it into Cen Xi's mouth.

At the same time, the green vines inevitably entered his bloodstream. He held on for a moment, but eventually succumbed to his own hallucinatory world.

It was a mountain villa where a couple lived. They had a son and lived a happy and fulfilling life. But one day, a group of people came from nowhere and came towards them menacingly as soon as they entered the door.

Shen Jinchen originally remembered that it was a naked massacre, and in the end only the child survived.

His parents died one after another, and he was eventually saved by a general who took him as his wife and raised him to be a successful man. The boy lived up to expectations and became the top scholar in the imperial examination when he was seventeen or eighteen years old. In the end, he established himself in the court with swift and decisive actions and was later appointed as prime minister by the emperor.

But the scene he saw at this moment was completely different. He saw his father as incredibly brave, and those assassins were no match for him. In the end, the assassins were defeated and sent away. His father fought against the enemy and ultimately protected her and her mother.

Years later, her father destroyed the Da Yan royal family and rose to a high position. All of this had nothing to do with him; he bore no heavy responsibilities, nor did he have anything he was obligated to do. After coming of age, he traveled and happened to meet a woman. He fell in love with her at first sight, and eventually, after begging his parents' permission, he married her and brought her back to the capital. That woman was Cen Xi.

Such a beautiful nightmare, it draws you in so deeply that you feel yourself sinking deeper and deeper, with no desire to wake up.

Cen Xi swallowed the two pills Shen Jinchen had given her. Half an hour later, the beautiful dream before her eyes gradually faded. At this moment, she looked at the shop owner, snatched the bank card from his hand, and her eyes were filled with fury.

"Li Chunshu, you old bastard, didn't you give me your bank card? Didn't you say it was a bonus? Why are you taking it back? I'll fuck your grandpa."

As soon as she finished yelling, her nerves returned to normal, and she saw Shen Jinchen lying next to her with a strange smile on his face.

She was bewildered for a moment, then glanced at the vines that had been cut into pieces around her, and realized what had happened. Looking again at the medicine bottle rolling nearby, she quickly realized that this might be the antidote, and without hesitation, she gave Shen Jinchen three pills.

So let's save her! Seeing Jun Xiaoqiao wrapped up like a dumpling not far away, she immediately picked up Shen Jinchen's sword and went towards her.

She originally didn't want to save her. If it weren't for Jun Xiaoqiao's actions, would she have been hit on the back by a rock and almost died?

Unfortunately, she was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see Jun Xiaoqiao injured or die, so she took a deep breath and decided to save her anyway!

With a swift stroke, he cut the vines off Jun Xiaoqiao's body, then gave her three pills.

He returned to the formation with his sword, only to see Jun Jianchou running back and forth, exhausted.

She yelled at Jun Jianchou:

"You go to the southwest corner, I'll deal with the vines here."

Jun Jianchou watched as he struggled to stay afloat, following her instructions to head towards the southwest corner. He used all his strength to finally break through the formation of the chaotic rock forest, then collapsed from exhaustion.

Seeing the smile on her lips, Cen Xi knew he had fallen for it again. So he quickly dealt with the vines, rushed to his side, and prepared to give him the antidote.

But as soon as she entered Jun Jianchou's body, he suddenly hugged her and his warm lips attacked her.

Cen Xi never expected this to happen, but luckily she reacted quickly and was pushed away by Jun Jianchou.

This scene was witnessed by Shen Jinchen, who had just woken up. He used his light-footed skill to scoop Cen Xi into his arms.

"Stay away from him from now on."

“He…you give him the medicine, I’m going to check on Jun Xiaoqiao, see how she is.”

Cen Xi glanced awkwardly at Shen Jinchen and said.

"..."

Shen Jinchen glanced at the medicine Cen Xi had given him, gave Jun Jianchou a cold look, and finally stuffed the medicine into his mouth.

After the matter was resolved, Zhu Yanniang led the troops behind her and finally caught up with the four people.

"You guys really got into trouble? You look so disheveled."

Cen Xi's clothes were disheveled and her expression was not good. Zhu Yanniang asked with concern.

"Give me a hand and get Jun Xiaoqiao into the carriage."

Cen Xi turned her head and glanced at Shen Jinchen, whose face was grim, and said indifferently.

“I knew it would end up like this. I told you two to argue less, and this wouldn’t have happened.”

Zhu Yanniang glanced at Jun Xiaoqiao with disdain, then rolled her eyes at Cen Xi.

"Is it that I can't argue just because I don't want to? I can't control Jun Xiaoqiao's temper."

Cen Xi was already in a bad mood, and her words were barbed. Zhu Yanniang could only put up with her bad temper. The two of them, in very bad moods, shoved Jun Xiaoqiao into the carriage.

Then Zhu Yanniang got into the carriage, and seeing that Cen Xi also wanted to climb into their carriage, she quickly stopped her:

"You should go to the carriage in front and sit with your lover. My carriage doesn't welcome you."

"No, I'll ride in your car for the next couple of days."

Cen Xi deftly lifted the curtain and slipped inside, ignoring Zhu Yanniang's dissatisfaction.

Seeing Cen Xi suddenly become angry for no apparent reason, Shen Jinchen felt a tightness in his chest. He glanced meaningfully at Jun Jianchou, who was lying on the ground with a beautiful smile. He then called out to Feng Qin in a deep voice:

“Carry him into the car.”

"Young master, are you still going to care about him?"

Feng Qin looked at Shen Jinchen with some surprise. He had seen clearly what this man had done to kiss their mistress. He never thought that their young master was a magnanimous person.

Not killing this man was probably the limit, but I didn't expect him to have a change of heart and let me carry him to the car.

"Fengqin! Do you also want to keep Shangse company?"

Shen Jinchen glanced at the tightly closed curtains of the carriage behind him and asked in a very bad mood.

"Yes! I will take care of it immediately."

As soon as Shen Jinchen finished speaking, Feng Qin shoved Jun Jianchou into the carriage like a gust of wind.

Then, the entire group fell silent, and Shen Jinchen rode ahead on a horse to lead the way.

As evening fell, they finally arrived at the Yong'an Inn in the next town and settled down.

Just as one person was settled, a message from a carrier pigeon flew into Shen Jinchen's room. After reading the entire letter, Shen Jinchen's expression changed drastically.
