"Who gave up on themselves? So what if I love my wife? You can't understand my level. Damn it! All my good intentions in saving you were for nothing, and you actually blame me and criticize my wife as soon as you wake up."
"We're breaking up! Get out of here right now, I don't want to see you again."
Wen Qiyu was furious. What do you mean by races not being a good match? They are clearly a perfect match! Only he knows how well he and his wife match. Why should others gossip?
"You...! How can you not appreciate kindness?"
Zhu Yanniang sighed and rubbed her forehead.
"What do you mean by not recognizing a kind heart? Zhu Yanniang, then I want to ask you, are you and Jun Jianchou a good match?"
Wen Qiyu hated it when people interfered in his life, so his question was rather tasteless, but even so, he felt he was not wrong.
“I am not good enough for him, I have always known that.”
Zhu Yanniang became deflated at the mere mention of Jun Jianchou.
"Good to know, but you still can't control your own heart. I also want to say, how can you be so ungrateful? I advised you not to like him, why do you still like him?"
Wen Qiyu gave a light snort of annoyance and turned her face away, refusing to look at her.
"I…!"
Zhu Yanniang was speechless, unable to find a reason to refute.
"If you have nothing to say, then get lost. Here's a piece of advice for you: Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you. I know my own limits when it comes to my affairs, and I don't want anyone interfering with my choices."
Wen Qiyu nestled in the golden python's embrace, not looking at Zhu Yanniang, but muttering something that made a lot of sense.
"Fine! Since you've made your decision, there's no point in me staying here. Get out!"
Seeing that Wen Qiyu had made up her mind, Zhu Yanniang said no more and turned to leave.
Upon reaching the cave entrance, he finally stopped and thanked Wen Qiyu.
"Although our relationship was just a transaction, I still thank you for saving me. Take care of yourself."
"Alright! Stop dawdling, let's go, don't disturb my sweet nothings with my wife."
Wen Qiyu gave her a disdainful look and lazily shooed her away again.
Seeing him embracing a giant python with such a lustful expression, Zhu Yanniang felt a chill run down her spine. Without pausing, she went straight to the white building outside the cave.
As soon as she reached the entrance of the White Building, she spotted two people. One had white hair and wore black clothes, holding a whisk and looking like a hermit. The other had black hair, was tall, and held a black sword, looking imposing.
The two men looked grim, as if they had encountered a formidable enemy and were on high alert.
Zhu Yanniang's heart skipped a beat, and a bold idea swirled in her mind.
Could that behemoth inside be one of their pets?
Combined with the shattered human bones scattered throughout the White Building, Zhu Yanniang quickly recalled the scene from yesterday when they appeared in the White Building.
It seems they were drugged and were probably carried to the entrance of the White Building.
Does that mean that someone outside deliberately lured them into the White Building to be sacrificed to the enormous creature inside?
Thinking of this, Zhu Yanniang suddenly felt that Wen Qiyu holding the giant python and calling her "wife" was no longer so terrifying.
Those two outside are truly terrifying. What on earth are they plotting? If Wen Qiyu hadn't dealt with the giant python, and if his blood hadn't been able to neutralize the snake's venom, they probably would have turned into skeletons soon enough.
Those two are so vicious!
Thinking of this, Zhu Yanniang stopped in her tracks. After repeatedly considering the consequences of him going out, she gritted her teeth and turned back to the cave where Wen Qiyu and the giant python were.
Wen Qiyu was kissing his wife when he suddenly heard faint footsteps approaching them, which made him extremely irritated.
He immediately burst into a tirade of curses:
"Who the hell isn't blind? Didn't they see us being affectionate?"
"Originally, I didn't want to disturb you, but I can't get out. Wen Qiyu, actually, we were tricked into coming here. There are two people guarding the entrance to the White Building outside!"
"If I go out now, wouldn't that be blatantly telling those two outside that we're still alive?"
After Zhu Yanniang replied lazily without thinking, she finally realized what Wen Qiyu had been doing and what he had shouted.
I was so shocked that I took two steps back, feeling as if my worldview was about to be shattered.
"My God, you...you're really serious? Wen Qiyu, you're actually kissing this snake."
"What, is it not allowed? I already told you, she's my wife, isn't kissing her normal?"
"It's not what you just said. What do you mean? What do you mean we were tricked? You mean we were deliberately lured here, and then those people wanted to devour us with my wife's money?"
Wen Qiyu thought Zhu Yanniang was making a fuss over nothing. She had already said she was his wife, so wasn't kissing her a normal thing?
And what did he mean by what he said earlier?
Are there outsiders in these deep mountains and forests?
"Wen Qiyu, I think you've got a problem with your head, but seeing your reaction, I think you're fine. Do you know that your behavior is even more explosive than me sleeping with a man?"
After a long period of shock, Zhu Yanniang returned to normal.
Anyway, Wen Qiyu is just an oddball. He has no other hobbies besides loving snakes, so she can sit with him without worry.
"We both have bad habits, which is probably why we're so compatible, don't you think?"
"Alright, let's not talk about what's between my wife and me. Tell me what you mean by that? What do you mean by saying we were set up?"
Although Wen Qiyu was quite unreliable, he grew up in the Wen family and still had a basic sense of politics. When it came to intrigue and power struggles, he was extremely perceptive and could grasp the key points.
“There are two people outside, an old man with white hair and a handsome man in black. They don’t look like ordinary people. Your wife is probably being kept by them. There must be some unknown secrets hidden here.”
"When I went out, I noticed that they had their brows furrowed and looked ready for battle. There might be some major enemy coming. Now we two need to try to hide our whereabouts so that those two won't find us."
After Zhu Yanniang found a reasonably decent place to sit, she began to recount everything she had seen.
"You're saying that when we woke up yesterday, we were in front of the White Building, and someone did this on purpose, wanting us to come in and be eaten by snakes?"
Wen Qiyu extracted the key points from Zhu Yanniang's words and then asked.
"It means exactly what you think. And your wife is being kept by someone else. If you want to get her, I have to fight those two people outside, and I have to win."
After Zhu Yanniang vented her pent-up frustration, she offered a few more words of explanation.
"Damn it, how dare someone keep my wife as a mistress? What kind of world is this? Zhu Yanniang, you just said they looked like they were on high alert, like they were on guard. Do you know who they're on guard against?"
