After saying this, Chu Xinxin turned her head away and ignored Shen Yao.
She crouched down and carefully checked on the two children.
Shenyao had nowhere to vent his anger.
He simply didn't understand what Chu Xinxin was angry about.
In his eyes, all other humans besides Xingyuan were like ants; what difference would it make if he crushed one or two of them?
Chu Xinxin directly exchanged energy for a bottle of divine medicine. She grasped the ice pillar, preparing to pull it out.
Shenyao stopped her: "Admit your mistake! Admit your mistake to me, otherwise, no matter how many times you save them, I will kill them that many times."
"Then why don't you kill me too?"
Admit your mistake? Not a chance.
Shen Yao gripped Chu Xinxin's wrist tightly in an instant.
The force was so great that Chu Xinxin seemed to hear the sound of her own bones breaking.
But she did not back down at all.
Shenyao also heard the sound of bones breaking. He felt as if he had been pricked by a needle and hurriedly let go.
Then, as if trying to salvage the situation, he said, "Do you think I wouldn't dare?"
"As you wish." Chu Xinxin gripped the ice pillar again.
Shen Yao lowered his eyes, but out of the corner of his eye he saw that Chu Xinxin's hand was steady as she pulled out the icicle, and he felt inexplicably relieved.
After Chu Xinxin pulled out the icicles, she poured the medicine onto the chests of the two children.
Before long, their wounds had healed.
Shenyao's eyes began to look confused.
Xingyuan also possesses such a miraculous medicine.
After the two children recovered, they knew who had saved them and who had killed them.
Hiding behind Chu Xinxin, far away from Shen Yao.
Chu Xinxin escorted them back to the city and told them not to run around again before leaving with Shen Yao.
......
On the way back, Chu Xinxin's complexion was still not good.
She wouldn't respond to anything Shenyao said or did.
Finally, Shenyao simply stopped talking.
The two went out happily, but returned on bad terms.
As if to spite Chu Xinxin, Shenyao summoned women from the second to fifth palaces to his bedchamber in turn, but not Chu Xinxin.
"I'm telling you, do you still want to save the Black Shark?" the woman said earnestly.
People in the royal palace are opportunistic, but here, anyone can come over and make a few sarcastic remarks.
A career-driven woman like Nvwei simply cannot stand Chu Xinxin giving up.
"I have my own way," Chu Xinxin replied lazily, lying on the soft couch.
The woman didn't believe it at all. She knew that Chu Xinxin was not the all-powerful Star Source at all; she was just an ordinary human.
Unable to convince Chu Xinxin, the woman tried every means to find out what had happened between her and Wang that day.
"I don't know either." The maid in the Crystal Palace awkwardly stuffed the water lily back into Nüwei's hand. "The Heavenly King didn't send anyone to follow us..."
Before Nvwei could ask any more questions, Shenyao's voice rang out from behind her: "Are you trying to find out where I am?"
The maid and her servant hurriedly knelt down.
It's all over! By spying on and leaking information about the King, they're supposed to be executed according to the rules...
Time passed slowly, but Shenyao still hadn't called them to get up.
Just as Nvwei was thinking about whether she could attract Chu Xinxin by shouting loudly, Shenyao spoke up: "What has she been doing these past two days?"
she?
The woman understood: "Lord Xingyuan has not been in a good mood these past two days. He can't eat or sleep well, and he has lost a lot of weight."
Shenyao was silent for a moment, then left without saying anything.
The woman and the maid escaped unharmed and collapsed to the ground.
"That scared the hell out of me."
The woman patted her chest; today's trip hadn't been a complete waste. At least she now knew that even though Chu Xinxin was a substitute, she still held a certain place in Shen Yao's heart...
......
Whether it was Nvwei's words or not, Shenyao stopped summoning other women, but Chu Xinxin started having an extra bowl of wontons in her daily meals.
This tastes... exactly the same as the food she and Shenyao ate at that stall that day.
[The takeout that Shenyao's messengers order for you every day is delivered back via express courier. To ensure the best taste, they even use the Merfolk's precious Ice Condensing Pearl to keep it fresh.]
The system shook its head with a "tsk tsk tsk": [A rider gallops through the dust, a concubine smiles, but no one knows it's "wontons" arriving...]
Chu Xinxin was unmoved by Shen Yao's overtures; all she could think about was getting to the day she had agreed upon with Yun Hai.
If Shang Li is really the person she's looking for, she will take him and Chu Zheng away from here.
"Nuwei, have you found a way to open those two chains?"
Chu Xinxin stirred the bowl of wontons twice with a spoon and set it aside.
"I can't find it." The woman's expression was strange.
Chu Xinxin noticed: "What's wrong?"
"Perhaps you could try to find out from the King..."
That's impossible.
Even if Chu Xinxin spent all her energy, she wouldn't ask him.
The woman was having a headache; when would they finally reconcile?
As the two were talking, Qiang Lan arrived again with Shen Yao's decree to deliver something to Chu Xinxin.
“Lord Xingyuan, the King has specifically instructed that you must wear these items from now on.”
The items the attendants were carrying were all exquisite and luxurious jewelry.
But... Chu Xinxin looked at the marks on it: "Qiang Lan, these pieces of jewelry aren't new, are they?"
“Lord Xingyuan, these pieces of jewelry are all ones you used to own,” Qiang Lan replied. “By the way, the King also said that starting today, you will be moving to the First Palace.”
......
Crystal Palace.
Qiang Lan brought all the jewelry back with her.
"She won't accept it?"
Shen Yao's tone turned serious.
Qiang Lan silently answered in her heart, not only refusing to accept it, but also smashing everything out.
But he didn't dare say it aloud; he just lowered his head and replied with a simple "Yes."
"What about the First Palace? They haven't moved in either?"
"No."
"Bang!" The sound of a wine glass being smashed.
Shen Yao's voice was filled with suppressed rage: "What else did she say?"
"She said..." Qiang Lan knelt down immediately, "She said her name is Chu Xinxin, not Xingyuan, and she's not the Xingyuan you're looking for..."
......
Shenyao has gone mad.
Chu Xinxin has rebelled.
Because of her statement that her name was Chu Xinxin and not Xingyuan, Shenyao forced all the female officials and maids who had served Xingyao to repeat to Chu Xinxin day and night what Xingyuan had done and said.
He even wanted to train Chu Xinxin to become a "perfect" replacement for Xingyuan.
Their clothing, appearance, and residence were all chosen according to Xingyuan's personality and preferences.
Chu Xinxin naturally resisted with all her might.
As long as her mouth isn't sealed, she'll definitely shout that she's not Xingyuan, trying to wake Shenyao up.
The entire palace was in an uproar.
Ten Dreams has come again.
"Brother Shenyao, that woman really isn't Xingyuan, right?"
Shi Meng had heard that the woman herself admitted that only Shen Yao was still stuck in the past and couldn't move on.
"Brother Shenyao, I think Xingyuan doesn't like you at all. If she did, why didn't she even say goodbye and just disappeared like that?"
Shen Yao's eyes flickered, clearly indicating that he was not as indifferent as he appeared.
Shi Meng: "Keeping those women in the palace will only cause Brother Shenyao grief. Why don't we send them all back to the human race..."
"This is for you."
Shenyao interrupted her.
"What?"
The light from the luminous pearl shone on Shenyao, making him look very dangerous.
He said, "Didn't you want that woman? I'll give her to you right now..."
