Some people will show their sharp tongue and ruthless methods in front of those they don't care about.
But in front of the woman they truly love, they become very humble, cautious, and flustered, afraid that the person she cares about will suffer even the slightest grievance.
This was the feeling Jun Jianchou had when he watched the other person's lonely figure disappear from sight.
He had the same feeling, ever since he fell in love with Cen Xi, but unfortunately he was not as lucky as Shen Jinchen to have such an entanglement with Cen Xi.
But things are fine now. As long as Cen Xi is happy, he can give up everything.
When Jun Jianchou appeared at the inn, Tian Ying and Cen Xi had been busy in their room all night, and both of them were covered in sweat.
"It's alright now. As long as you don't see him with your own eyes, the Gu poison in your body won't be triggered. However, this is only a temporary solution. To completely remove the Love Return Gu from your body, the Gu Queen still needs to enter your body and consume that thing."
Tian Ying wiped the sweat rolling down her forehead. Her voice was clear and crisp, and combined with her chubby baby face, she was unforgettable. No wonder she had gotten herself into so many romantic entanglements in Miao territory.
You are very beautiful!
Looking at the other person's soft and cute face, Cen Xi couldn't resist the urge to pinch it. And being a woman of action, she thought for a moment and then her hand was already on the other person's face.
Tian Ying had never been teased like this by a woman before. She was startled and her face turned bright red.
"What are you doing? Why are you touching my face?"
"You're beautiful, and I always want to touch beautiful things, so I just couldn't resist touching you. Don't mind me, I just have this bad habit, I'm not trying to seduce you."
Cen Xi glanced at the stubborn yet adorable little girl with a broad smile, her grin almost irritating.
"You! How could you do this? How could there be a woman like you! Alright, I've finished what I was doing. I'm going to find a place to take a bath. You can take a bath too. You still have the leisure to flirt with me? Don't you even realize that you have a little over a month to live without the curse on you?"
Tian Ying glared at Cen Xi angrily, then got out of bed.
"Don't be afraid. I've already died once, what am I afraid of? As long as I don't turn into Zhu Bajie like Marshal Tianpeng, it's fine. No wonder that burly man from the Zhu family coveted you. You're so soft and cute, like a steamed bun. Who wouldn't want to take a bite?"
Cen Xi watched as Tian Ying jumped off the bed comically, his teasing expression becoming even more pronounced. Tian Ying was just too adorable, so he couldn't help but tease her a couple more times.
"You're not afraid of death, but I am. Don't say anything that's just making me angry. You're really not like a woman at all, more like a big hooligan. The person I like is Lu Duling, not that Zhu guy. Yesterday I dared to make such a scene, which showed my determination. Please, Princess, don't mention that in front of me so frivolously."
Tian Ying glared at Cen Xi with a burning hatred, then quickly put on her shoes.
"What would you have done if I hadn't saved you yesterday? I saw it clearly yesterday. That boy from the Zhu family looked at you like he wanted to devour you right away, and your father couldn't wait to shove you into his bed. Are you sure you could have gotten away unscathed?"
Seeing her firm and resolute gaze, Cen Xi couldn't resist teasing her again.
"Do you think the girls of Miao territory are so easy to bully? Especially a girl like me who knows witchcraft. Actually, I didn't act impulsively yesterday; I foresaw the consequences. All I wanted in the end was for the whole Miao territory to remember that I loved someone, and that person's name was Lu Duling. I was willing to die together with Zhu Changqing for him."
Tian Ying rolled her eyes at the shameless woman, raised her chin arrogantly, and said very seriously.
"So, I went through all that trouble yesterday?"
Cen Xi stared intently at Tian Ying, waiting for her reaction.
"I'm still... I'm still a little... a little grateful, but... but I've helped you too. Now, even if you think of your husband, you won't have an attack anymore, right?"
This was the first time Tian Ying had ever encountered a woman who dared to flirt with women in the remote Miao region, so she stammered in response, which was quite unusual for her.
"You said yourself that this is only treating the symptoms, not the root cause, right?"
Cen Xi still looked at Tian Ying with a smile.
"you!"
Tian Ying was furious and wanted to say that you only helped me halfway, but then she heard several loud laughs outside the door, followed by a few knocks.
"Jun Jianchou, go downstairs to the lobby and wait for me. We'll wash up and come out. Oh, and could you also order two buckets of water for me? We want to take a shower."
After hearing Jun Jianchou's voice, Cen Xi laughed heartily for a long time before calming down and speaking to the people outside.
"You can still laugh when you're about to die."
Tian Ying pouted in embarrassment and indignation.
"Hey sister, I once heard someone say that being born means waiting to die, so enjoying life to the fullest is the most important thing. That's why I have a good mindset, you know?"
Cen Xi couldn't help but pinch the other person's rosy cheeks again, smiling so hard her eyes disappeared.
Hearing such cheerful laughter outside the door, Jun Jianchou's worries lessened somewhat, and he then silently went downstairs.
She is still that cheerful girl, she is still that unrestrained and flamboyant girl, she is still that girl who likes to joke around with people at the drop of a hat, regardless of her past or present life.
"What kind of theories are these? Are all girls from the Central Plains this open-minded?"
Tian Ying looked at Cen Xi with a daze. She always felt that this princess was very different, different from the girls of Miao territory and different from the girls of the Central Plains.
“Girls in the Central Plains don’t think as openly as I do. I’m telling you, since you like that Lu Duling so much, why not be bold and sleep with him? Once you’ve slept with him, he’s yours, you know? If you’ve slept with him, you’d be willing to die for it.”
Cen Xi put her hand on Tian Ying's body, looked at his facial expression with a smile, and continued to tease him.
"You... are you even a woman? How could you say such a thing!"
When Tian Ying heard about sleeping with Lu Duling, her face turned bright red, and the redness spread all the way to the roots of her neck. She did want to do *that* with Lu Duling, but that was only after they got married. What girl does *that* with a man before marriage?
"Oh my, what's with that expression? Does it have to be so exaggerated? Let me tell you a secret: I got together with Shen Xiang before we got married, but I didn't want to take responsibility. It was him who kept pestering me that finally got us married. Don't you think your thinking is too conservative?"
The uglier Tian Ying's face became, the more Cen Xi wanted to tease her, and in the process, he carelessly revealed her past with Shen Jinchen.
"You...you guys are so shameless."
Tian Ying was so ashamed that she didn't know what to say. It was the first time she had ever met a woman who dared to talk about such things.
