"Yeah, you'd better not let me go." Shen Shuyi bit his earlobe.
"This poison takes effect every three days for a month. It's best for Master Xie to stay with me every day."
"We are good..."
"Shut up!"
"If you don't want to say it, then don't say it." Chen Shuyi's tone was satisfied. He was in a much better mood after this incident. He didn't mind him scolding him a few times. After all, the heir trained by such a martial arts family was just a witch, so let him scold her.
Shen Shuyi left Xie Xinghe and wanted to put on her clothes, but she saw that they were a mess underneath.
She slapped Xie Xinghe's face angrily, "It's all your fault. Look, you made me dirty!"
Xie Xinghe's eyes were cold and he didn't even look at her.
Shen Shuyi stopped provoking him and simply went to take a bath in the cold pond.
After coming back from the shower, she squatted in front of the man.
"Hey, I can untie your acupuncture points, but you have to promise not to fight me."
"You see, you have two poisons in your body. It is fate that binds you and me together."
"If you cooperate well, you will be free again in a month, and after six months, you can kill me or cut me up as you please."
"Promise to be quiet."
"I said three."
"Three~"
Chen Shuyi raised her hand to untie his acupuncture points, and the moment she did so, she jumped to the other side to prevent the man from dying with her in an impulsive state.
Xie Xinghe didn't look at her and walked into the cold pond with a cold face.
Shen Shuyi watched him fiercely wash the marks on his body and couldn’t help but stab him.
"What? I haven't disliked you yet."
"Your body is human?"
"I'm not feeling well either!"
Xie Xinghe's ears felt hot, and his whole body felt hot after listening to this, even though he had clearly been detoxified.
He didn't want to hear any more of the witch's voice, so he buried his head and plunged into the cold pool.
Seeing him like this, Shen Shuyi burst out laughing.
"Thank you, Master, the water in the pond is cold. Don't get sick from the cold."
"I have to go roast a pheasant. I'm so hungry. It's all your fault..."
…
Chen Shuyi hunted and collected firewood skillfully. She was very good at roasting pheasants. The chickens were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and they were especially tasty.
She tore off a chicken leg and started eating it, and then she heard a sound from the cold pond.
After a while, footsteps were heard, and a tall man lit a fire opposite her without saying a word.
The firewood crackled and the flames illuminated the man's stern face.
Shen Shuyi was almost full before he started talking to the person opposite him.
"Xie Xinghe, there is no deep blood feud between you and me. We are now tied together only out of helplessness."
"where are you going?"
Xie Xinghe stirred the firewood and didn't want to pay any attention to this witch.
Chen Shuyi smiled slyly, "I know even without you telling me that you decent people are all looking for the Alliance Leader's Order and the martial arts world's supreme secret manual, the Taixuan Sutra. It just so happens that I also want to go to Penglai Mountain, so why not go together?"
"Whatever." Xie Xinghe replied indifferently. If he didn't reply, this witch might come up with other ways to make trouble.
Shen Shuyi hummed softly and took a bite of the chicken.
"I know you hate me, and I hate you just as much."
"In half a year, we will have a fight to the death."
"The fight continues until one dies." Xie Xinghe rarely agreed with her.
Shen Shuyi was speechless.
After she had eaten, she rested against the tree trunk and said, "You will keep watch tonight."
In this vast uninhabited mountainous area, wild beasts might appear at night.
Xie Xinghe was very quiet, as if he treated the witch as air, but he did not choose to leave while she was asleep.
The next day, the two set off on their journey.
Shen Shuyi pounded his sore legs and said, "I need to go to the town first to buy a carriage and some dry food."
"Who knows how far Mount Penglai is? If I keep walking like this, I'll lose both my legs."
Xie Xinghe paused and said nothing.
The two came to the bustling town, and Shen Shuyi looked around, full of curiosity about everything.
It was her first time in a world where martial arts was respected, and her eyes lit up when she saw the candied haws held by the vendor.
The space did store a lot of gold, silver and jewelry looted from Yueyin Temple, but the change had long been spent.
Shen Shuyi called out to the man walking in front, "Mr. Xie, lend me some money."
Xie Xinghe stopped and looked at the person who came towards him, his eyes fixed on the purse hanging around his waist.
He frowned, "What are you going to do now?"
"Buy some candied haws. I'll return them to you after I exchange them for money at the bank." Shen Shuyi stepped forward and grabbed his arm.
"How can this be done in public!" Xie Xinghe shook off her hand.
His ears turned red, and he didn't want to argue with the witch over such a trivial matter, so he took off the purse and threw it to her.
Shen Shuyi weighed it over, then took out a copper coin and bought two strings of candied haws.
She stuffed the purse back into the man's hand and said, "Thank you~"
Chen Shuyi bought some candied haws and felt very happy after eating the sweet food. He quickly went to the bank to exchange money and then bought a top-notch carriage.
"I've bought the carriage, and I'll leave the driving to you. We're going Dutch."
Xie Xinghe didn't understand what she was saying, so the two of them bought a carriage and went to the inn in town to stay overnight.
Chen Shuyi checked into a room upstairs. Before entering, she peeked at Xie Xinghe.
"Don't sneak off by yourself. Don't forget the third day."
"I've studied Yueyin Temple's Hehuan Powder. It can only be detoxified by the person I had the first time with. Otherwise, you'll bleed from all seven orifices."
Xie Xinghe slammed the door shut and sat on the couch to meditate as soon as he entered the room.
Shen Shuyi waited for the waiter to bring up hot water, and she took a hot bath before going to bed.
The hot water made me sweat and my skin turned pink.
