"Hooray! This is such great news! I'm finally free! I'm so happy I want to drink. Maybe we should get drunk when we get back to Miao territory."
Upon hearing his reply, Cen Xi couldn't help but whistle, then jumped up from the ground, gesturing wildly.
How could she not be happy? Yan Shengxiao had completely disappeared from this world, so his mission was complete, and she would no longer be bound by any constraints.
“Grandma, your husband is allergic to alcohol, so you absolutely cannot let me drink. Also, all of this is thanks to me clearing obstacles for you, so you cannot do anything to leave me.”
Cen Xi was happy, but Shen Jinchen was a little panicked, because he knew very well that Cen Xi was not afraid of death, but was afraid of this layer of confinement. Now that Yan Shengxiao could no longer cause any trouble, would she abandon him?
"Oh, I know, I know. You deserve the most credit. I won't forget your kindness. Don't worry, I won't run away."
Cen Xi was completely oblivious to Shen Jinchen's disappointment; she was genuinely happy.
"Yes, I'm happy for you too. If you want to drink, I'll go with you later!"
Jun Jianchou enjoyed watching Cen Xi torment Shen Jinchen, so he deliberately raised an eyebrow and glanced at Shen Jinchen. Then he agreed to Cen Xi's suggestion to drink.
"Damn it, what are you drinking for? It's good to be happy when someone dies, but don't forget there's still Zhu Yanniang here. Jun Jianchou was injured for you, and he's barely breathing now, he'll be kicking the bucket soon. And you're still in the mood to drink?"
Wen Qiyu glanced at Meng Ya, who was lying dead on the ground, then at the three people who were grinning from ear to ear, and roared violently.
After Wen Qiyu's shout, the three of them suddenly remembered that Zhu Yanniang had indeed taken a blow for Jun Jianchou, and it seemed that she was really going to die.
Jun Jianchou and Cen Xi immediately stopped laughing, stood up and ran to Zhu Yanniang's side to check on the situation.
Wen Qiyu had just helped her to lean against a tree.
Seeing Cen Xi and Jun Jianchou approaching, Zhu Yanniang spoke with difficulty:
"You don't need to waste your time saving me. I know my body. I'm really afraid I can't hold on any longer. Let me say a few more words."
"Fine! How could you be so foolish? Why would you risk your life to block that palm strike? You don't know, with Jun Jianchou's abilities, he could have dodged it."
Seeing Zhu Yanniang spitting out blood, Cen Xi felt a turmoil of emotions welling up inside him.
The image of Zhu Yanniang's alluring and charming appearance when they first met flashed through her mind, along with her somewhat unrestrained and flamboyant manner. She never expected that her ending would be like this.
“I didn’t want to either. After being in the dark for so long, I just wanted to see a ray of light. After I left the capital last time, I ran into him. Because of you, he took care of me for two months. My heart, which was originally stagnant, just happened to start beating again.”
"Feelings are hard to control. Cen Xi, please forgive me for causing you trouble back then. You are truly my good sister. In the end, I am the one who is sorry to you."
Zhu Yanniang raised her hand, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and squeezed out the words she wanted to say with difficulty, one by one. Her time was running out, and if she had to say sorry, she really felt sorry for Cen Xi.
Because she liked her, she was ultimately jealous, which is why she subconsciously created trouble for her.
"Stop talking, stop talking! Please stop talking, Yan Niang! I've never blamed you, how could you be so foolish?"
"Alright! I won't take up any more of your time talking with Jun Jianchou. Jun Jianchou, you... you should chat with her a bit more."
Zhu Yanniang's pleading look completely irritated Cen Xi, and tears streamed down her face. After giving Jun Jianchou her instructions, she ran to Shen Jinchen, sobbing uncontrollably, and hugged him.
"you…"
"you…"
After Cen Xi left, Jun Jianchou and Zhu Yanniang spoke at the same time, but neither knew what to say, so the atmosphere suddenly became strange and awkward.
The two remained silent for a long time before Jun Jianchou spoke first.
"How could you be so stupid? I was really trying to hide; that person couldn't hurt me."
"I don't know either, maybe I'm just worried about you getting hurt! Jun Jianchou, does it make you feel ashamed that someone likes you?"
Zhu Yanniang forced a miserable smile as she asked, struggling to maintain her composure.
"No, but you know who I like? She'll never forget me, so I'm sorry I can't reciprocate your feelings!"
Jun Jianchou was truly a gentleman. His upbringing had instilled in him the ability to treat everyone kindly, but fate had not been kind to him.
"No need to apologize. Someone like me, condemned by everyone, is not worthy of you. Being taken care of by you for two months is already the greatest joy of my life. I like you, I love you, but I don't want to bother you. This is my own business. Taking this slap for you now is perhaps a relief! I have no regrets in dying. Take care and I wish you happiness."
As Zhu Yanniang's gentle voice fell, her hand slowly fell as well, and she could no longer open her eyes, but a smile remained on her lips.
"Zhu Yanniang! Zhu Yanniang!"
Jun Jianchou never imagined that a woman who loved him would die in front of him with a smile. His heart skipped a beat, clenched tightly, and ached so much that he could hardly breathe.
His two roars made Cen Xi's eyes even more blurry with tears.
She never imagined that Zhu Yanniang, that stunning and alluring woman who had once been so eager to help her join the Su Nu Sect, would leave her life behind in this desolate place, and for Jun Jianchou no less.
Did the woman who helped her see Wen Qihe's true colors, and the woman who vowed to kill all the unfaithful men in the world, really leave her like this?
Cen Xi wept uncontrollably amidst Jun Jianchou's repeated cries of despair.
Wen Qiyu, who witnessed all of this, couldn't help but chuckle, her tone laced with sarcasm:
"Hmph! You damned woman, you've really gone too far in courting death. If I had known you were going to die eventually, I shouldn't have wasted my blood saving you, you heartless wretch, in that cave a few days ago."
After saying that, he greeted his wife, Golden Python, and without saying goodbye to the others, he swaggered out.
He walked with a slightly unsteady gait, perhaps ultimately feeling sorry for this foolish woman, after all, they had spent more than a month together.
After a long silence, the three of them dug a deep pit near the White Building and made a grave for Zhu Yanniang.
Jun Jianchou personally erected a monument for Zhu Yanniang. Afterwards, the three of them looked at each other in silence and left Bagua Mountain.
As for where Wen Qiyu went, and the conditions they agreed to for returning the King of Ten Thousand Gu, they had completely forgotten about them.
Because none of them were in the mood to think about such trivial matters at that moment.
Zhu Yanniang was someone they knew very well. Although she had overstepped some boundaries and some of her behaviors were disapproved of, they had to admit that Zhu Yanniang was an excellent person and a woman with personality.
