Resentment caused him to crumple his empty purse into a ball.
The heat from the fire made her head buzz.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry—"
"No one can take your place when you're sick—"
"The world is so beautiful, yet I'm so irritable, no good, no good—take a deep breath, then exhale, one, two, three—"
Shen Tang kept muttering to himself while closing his eyes and taking deep breaths, letting the cool air fill his chest cavity to physically cool him down.
This process is repeated ten or more times.
With astonishingly strong willpower, she finally suppressed the urge to "ride the favorable wind and soar to the clouds."
What are you doing?
Fly back and beat Kang Jishou up.
She had a bad feeling—with such a subordinate around, as long as he was alive, she could forget about getting rich in this lifetime!
"My lord?"
Jiang Sheng's hesitant voice reached my ears.
How perceptive Shen Tang was!
He immediately sensed something was wrong.
He couldn't help but wonder to himself, "Did I just blurt out my innermost thoughts in a fit of rage?"
That would be a great injustice.
She said beating up Kang Jishou was just empty talk, a way to vent her anger. After all, she'd rather be a poor wretch than a miserable one. If she were really asked to do anything to Kang Shi, she wouldn't even be able to bring herself to say a few harsh words, let alone do anything.
Shen Tang smoothed her sweat-dampened hair and asked, feigning composure, "Xian Deng, what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Jiang Sheng: "..."
For a moment, I didn't know where to begin.
Jiang Sheng's gaze was truly strange. Not only was his gaze fixed on something odd, but his eyes also held a strange sense of unfamiliarity, scrutiny, and suspicion. Shen Tang felt extremely uncomfortable under Jiang Sheng's stare, and remembering the contents of her own thoughts, she became even more guilty.
"First?"
Jiang Sheng stared intently for three breaths before finally confirming that his lord's voice was coming from the humanoid black mist in front of him.
He fell silent.
The energy of heaven and earth is diverse and varied.
Luck is also a kind of energy.
Jiang Sheng's scholarly way is based on "observing qi," which allows him to easily discern a person's fortune. He has seen people experiencing bad luck, but he has never seen bad luck with a person growing on it. An ordinary person would have died on the spot long ago if entangled in such a state, but his lord is still thriving.
Bad luck is often accompanied by a deathly aura.
But their own lord did not.
This suggests that the origin of this bad luck is rather strange.
It won't be fatal, but it will be very unlucky.
Gu Chi also stopped smiling, realizing something was wrong, and asked, "Xian Deng, did you see anything?"
Jiang Sheng said cautiously, "My lord's luck will be very low these two days. Be careful when eating and walking. Although it won't be fatal..."
But doing it too often can also negatively impact one's mindset.
Gu Chi asked suspiciously, "...Is it Kang Jishou?"
Shen Tang clenched her fists: "It's Kang Jishou!"
Jiang Sheng: "..."
Shen Tang said in grief and indignation, "He lied to me, he 'took my life' and he 'robbed me'? He has no morals whatsoever!"
Jiang Sheng: "..."
It seems our lord's focus has gone astray.
Gu Chi asked, "How long will it take to recover?"
Jiang Sheng calculated with his fingers and, combining this with the principles of the scholar's way, gave the answer: "It will take at least two or three days, and at most seven or eight days."
After saying that, the commander, who was known for his bad luck... no, his lord, suddenly stumbled forward without warning. Jiang Sheng and Gu Chi both reached out to help him up. Because Gu Chi was closer and had longer arms, he caught him. He even made a sarcastic remark.
"Has our lord suffered a setback?"
Jiang Sheng pinched Shen Tang's wrist to feel her pulse.
He put it down after a while: "It was anger that overwhelmed me."
Once you catch your breath, you'll feel better.
Just as he said, Shen Tang woke up slowly after a while, but as soon as they woke up, they noticed something was wrong. They saw their lord stand up without saying a word, look around as if he didn't see Jiang Sheng and Gu Chi, and walk straight to the motorcycle.
He climbed onto the back of the motorcycle.
Grab the reins and pinch them with two fingers.
It looked like they were about to throw something into the motorcycle's neck.
Gu Chi and Jiang Sheng instinctively held their breath, exchanging glances, both worried that their lord might be blinded by rage. Just as the two were about to find a doctor, their lord flicked the reins, and the motorcycle obediently took a small lap around the track.
Shen Tang looked confused.
His brows were slightly furrowed, and his eyes were filled with confusion.
He had a look on his face that said, "Something seems to be missing."
Then--
What is Daddy's dad called?
"My father's father is called Grandpa."
"What are Daddy's and Mommy's names?"
"Dad's mom's name is..."
It started with "What's Daddy's dad called?", complete with its own voiceover, then moved to "Mommy's sister is called Auntie", and then made a coin-insertion gesture, listening to "Makka Pakka, Ushnishi, Igglepiggle, Tombliboo" again...
Shen Tang sat on the back of the rocking horse, rocking earnestly for a long time. Finally, she was satisfied.
————————
Shen Tang felt like she had slept soundly and was in great spirits.
When I woke up, two faces loomed large before my eyes.
She didn't react aggressively at all. Instead, she calmly blinked and glared back, asking, "What are you two doing?"
Gu Chi frowned: "What's Daddy's dad called?"
Shen Tang was stunned for a moment: "Grandpa?"
Gu Chibai got the better deal.
Jiang Sheng asked with a serious expression, "Who is Makka Pakka?"
Shen Tang's heart skipped a beat, her gaze shifting: "How should I know?"
Gu Chi: "With the sun shining brightly, should I go bomb the school?"
Shen Tang: "..."
He shoved these two people who had suddenly lost their minds away.
"You guys should be normal!"
Kang Jishou's debuff can even spread through the air?
Seeing that Shen Tang's expression was normal, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief. As Gu Chi recounted the story, Shen Tang learned what had happened during the half hour she thought she was sleeping—she had inserted a coin and ridden a rocking horse, and was now hugging the motorcycle and singing nursery rhymes affectionately.
"...No, no, I don't remember at all?" Shen Tang wanted to cover her face more and more as she listened. She hadn't blacked out from drinking, so there was no possibility that her account had been hacked, right? However, those behaviors really sounded like she was drunk and acting crazy. "Has the doctor been here?"
Gu Chi said, "I have been here. My lord is in good health."
Shen Tang pursed her lips, reason prevailing.
He said solemnly, "This matter must be thoroughly investigated."
Jiang Sheng and the other person nodded.
We must pay close attention to our lord's condition. The physician said she's incredibly strong, capable of killing an ox, which means the problem lies in her brain. The human brain is the most mysterious and vulnerable part of the body; how can we be at ease without understanding the situation?
Shen Tang's expression grew increasingly grim as she thought about it: "Does anyone know?"
Gu Chi replied, "Only Chi and Xian Deng."
Even the doctor wasn't told the real problem.
Shen Tang breathed a sigh of relief: "We're still within the territory of Shiwu. With such a major event as the destruction of the capital, Shiwu will definitely conduct a thorough search. We need to be even more careful. I'll put my matter aside for now and deal with it when we return to Longwu County."
She paused, then solemnly instructed the two men, her demeanor as if she were instructing them on her final affairs: "If... anything happens to me, I ask Wangchao and Xiandeng to remember our past relationship and safely send these troops back to their homeland."
Gu Chi and the others were also frightened by this situation.
He shouted sternly, "My lord!"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Shen Tang scratched his head, not knowing what else to say, and said with feigned laughter, "Hey, I was just saying. If you think about things from a negative perspective, the situation is less likely to be bad. The way I looked earlier...it seemed so abnormal...a bit silly..."
If it wasn't a drunken tantrum, then it was a sign of social disorder.
The three of them were burdened with their own worries.
Among them, Shen Tang, the person involved, suffered the most.
For several days in a row, she choked on her water, stepped in puddles while walking, and was showered with bird droppings... but these kinds of unfortunate events didn't bother her much anymore. She was just a little sorry for her open umbrella, its surface completely ravaged by bird droppings. Were those wretched birds doing it on purpose?
well--
Shen Tang looked weary.
"Wangchao, I must have been a god in my past life."
Gu Chi didn't even respond with a glance.
Shen Tang: "Demoted to the mortal realm to become a victim of injustice"
