Chapter 12 I Need You
At that moment, Jiang Shuifu, who was in the other tent, suddenly felt her heart pounding. She covered her chest anxiously and then ran outside to check.
In less than a quarter of an hour, someone blew a whistle and carried back many wounded soldiers, all of them in terrible condition.
Gao Zhuxia was also watching the commotion. Suddenly, she grabbed Jiang Shuifu's hand and whispered in her ear, "The Crown Prince is doomed to die today. The Second Prince has already devised a plan to ruin his reputation."
Jiang Shuifu's heart was even more flustered. She did not doubt that Gao Zhuxia was lying, because this was indeed an excellent opportunity to get rid of Shen Jizhao, and it was the Second Prince who took the initiative to propose it.
Gao Zhuxia had already gone ahead, riding her horse into the forest. Her voice drifted on:
“Let’s see who can rescue the Crown Prince. The one who saves the Crown Prince’s life will surely be able to enter the Eastern Palace.”
Jiang Shuifu wasn't concerned about whether Gao Zhuxia would enter the Eastern Palace or not; she was just too worried. Shen Jizhao's golden whistle was clearly visible to everyone; what if it got lost?
Most importantly, he's a strong-willed person; what if he refuses to use it?
Jiang Shuifu didn't care about anything else and took a horse to find him, but Pan Tao stopped her. In the end, she had to take a few helpers with her to successfully enter the forest.
Shen Jizhao was surrounded and attacked by several ferocious beasts, and he stood alone in the middle.
The Akhal-Teke horse beneath him had never seen such a scene before and trembled slightly. Shen Jizhao stroked its fur to reassure it.
With its master's reassurance, the horse raised its head and hooves once more, expressing its determination to never back down and fight to the death.
Shen Jizhao sat high on his horse, silently observing them, without the slightest fear or trepidation.
At the same time, the sky above was instantly filled with dense, dark clouds, which then rained down wave after wave of dark gray birds upon the menacing black bear.
The black bears heard a series of terrifying heartbeats, as if they were being warned.
This person cannot be moved.
The black bear, which had been drooling and staring with hunger, suddenly lost its arrogance. In the animal kingdom, obedience and compliance are paramount, and they will retreat when faced with something stronger than themselves.
Shen Jizhao's aura was too powerful, his pressure was extremely heavy, and he glanced at the dark mass on the ground with cold indifference and disdain.
Logically, the purpose of the projectiles to intimidate should have been achieved by now, and it would be best to remain still. However, he came today with the intention of wreaking havoc, so we cannot choose to be pragmatic.
His bony fingers were white, and the veins on his arms bulged as he looked up and glared at his prey.
The full moon archery bow in his hand shone brightly in the sunlight, its golden light glittering, like a magical artifact emanating divine energy and boundless power from an immortal.
He gave the black bear no chance to catch its breath, breaking the silent standoff first.
But the first sound was not the black bear's pitiful cries, nor their angry roars, but the Second Prince's exclamation of relief at surviving the ordeal.
The arrow grazed the Second Prince's hair, effortlessly severing a strand. Before he could even feel relieved, he trembled all over. Looking back, he saw that the black bear that had approached him had been killed with a single arrow. He hated Shen Jizhao to the core.
He wasn't saving him, he was harming him.
The black bear, who had been timid just moments before, was spurred on and finally unleashed its full power, spitting fire as it swiftly extended its sharp claws towards the bewildered and terrified second prince, who immediately fled.
The result was obvious. The second prince regretted it very much. After he accidentally entered the forbidden area, he secretly followed Shen Jizhao. He chose a position that was both offensive and defensive, so that he could not go too deep into the forbidden area and could escape at any time, while also being able to spy on Shen Jizhao.
But the black bear's revenge was something no ordinary person could withstand; the second prince's arm, which was raised to wield the golden whistle, was torn apart.
He watched helplessly as his hopes rolled away, buried in the dark soil, and disappeared.
He let out a heart-wrenching, horrific scream.
He could only desperately seek the culprit who had brought him to this state:
"Ninth brother, save your second brother! I will never oppose you again. I will do everything in my power to help you ascend to the throne! Save me, and you will have even more support!"
Shen Jizhao looked down at him, expressionless, enjoying his disheveled state and pain, and lazily spoke:
"Second brother, I only give people one chance. Didn't I just save you?"
The second prince was still begging for mercy, dragging his battered body and desperately calling for Shen Jizhao's conscience, but he forgot that Shen Jizhao's conscience only existed on the surface.
The black bears, having tasted meat for the first time, were so engrossed in their meal that they smacked their lips and began turning towards Chen Jizhao.
Faced with rampant bestiality, all previously suppressed desires were reawakened, driving them to attack with double the force.
They fought in groups, with fierce tactics and a powerful momentum. Shen Jizhao didn't waste any words and shot down many of them with a few arrows.
But they were now in a bloodthirsty frenzy, displaying their bestial instincts to the fullest extent, and biting him tightly.
Soon, the black bear pounded its chest and cheered, as Shen Jizhao had finished shooting all his arrows.
They were celebrating their victory ahead of time, their gaping maws, with bits of flesh stuck between their teeth, lunging at him. He effortlessly leaped into the air, flipped and spun, and drew his sword.
All his weapons were imperial gifts, and this deadly sword was no exception. When his steed landed, it also kicked the black bear away.
The scene instantly erupted, and the situation was instantly rewritten. A man and his horse burned everything like lightning and thunder, leaving behind a trail of heads and blood.
The black bears unleashed their ferocity, tearing and pulling almost instinctively, their bulging fur unable to conceal their scarlet, maddened eyes.
Shen Jizhao's eyes gradually turned red. He had killed to his heart's content, and he had many wounds, big and small, on his body, with blood flowing freely.
There is a power gap between humans and beasts. This time, he killed a thousand enemies but lost eight hundred of his own. He had many skull holes dug into him, but he seemed to feel no pain. Instead, he fought more and more fiercely. It was as if he was only left with a breath of life.
At this moment, a woman dressed as a man was sneaking around in circles near the forbidden area.
It's Gao Zhuxia.
She was extremely conflicted. Although she had already made up her mind, she was still afraid at the last minute. It was so dangerous inside; what if she died before she even saw the Crown Prince?
She took a deep breath and had already taken a step forward.
This forbidden area truly lived up to its name; with howls of wolves and roars of tigers, and strange screams, she could barely stand.
But the thought that if she failed today, she would have to go back to her hometown and live a life worse than death, made her decide to go all out. Today, she would become the Crown Prince's woman.
Jiang Shuifu, just wait and see, that scene will definitely be unforgettable for you.
However, Gao Zhuxia did not expect that Jiang Shuifu, who had been behind her for a long time, would get there first.
Jiang Shuifu and her helper split up. When she found Shen Jizhao, there were already countless animal carcasses lying on the ground. The blood from their necks had flowed and spread to her feet, and the stench was overwhelming.
His apricot-yellow riding clothes were tattered and soaked, dripping with dark blood.
His beloved BMW lay exhausted on its side, barely alive. His sword pressed against the blood-soaked soil, its tip penetrating three inches into the ground, its imposing presence unstoppable.
Shen Jizhao's gaze fell on the second prince, who was barely recognizable as a human, and he mercifully agreed to his request:
"The second brother is right. Saving you is not a loss for me, so I will make an exception this time."
Shen Jizhao stretched out his palm, where a golden whistle lay. He turned it, and the Second Prince shook his head violently in terror, enduring the pain and shame as he kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"No, no, Ninth Brother, I beg you, we're brothers!"
At this moment, Shen Jizhao looked like a demon who had walked out of hell, his face covered with specks of blood, one of which was right on the corner of his mouth and slowly seeping into his mouth.
He scoffed lightly: "This is how it should be for the brothers of the imperial family."
As soon as the whistle blew, the Second Prince was utterly desperate. Spitting blood, he frantically cursed the good Crown Prince in the people's mouths, the emperor's favorite son:
"Shen Jizhao, no one knows the devilish face you have. You are indeed more suitable than anyone else to be Father Emperor's son. You have been pretending for so long, and today you finally couldn't hold back anymore. Hahaha, but it's so boring for me to see it all by myself!"
The Second Prince's gaze passed over the person who was menacingly clinging to him from behind. Shen Jizhao was fearless, as if no one could make him panic.
He slowly turned around, and what came into view was a beautiful figure, which greatly surprised him.
But he didn't diminish his terrifying aura at all; the blood at the corner of his mouth even spread down to his neck, dripping and choking that beautiful figure.
Jiang Shuifu was stunned. She had followed Shen Jizhao for so many years and had never seen him in this state before.
She knew he wasn't as calm and gentle as he appeared; deep down, he was assertive and controlling, so he would fight for things and take the initiative to fight for them.
But she never expected that his methods of fighting would be so ruthless, not by directly taking lives, but by subjecting people to strange and mocking gazes.
She suddenly felt a little sad. It turned out that he would do anything to win the things he cared about. She seemed to have seen her place in his heart once again.
She felt a chill run down her spine as she silently watched the blood-soaked man with a menacing look in his eyes walk towards her.
Shen Jizhao left a bloody mark with every step, making no attempt to conceal his completely malevolent self.
He gently covered her beautiful fox-like eyes. Where before they had shone a timid infatuation, now there was a hint of fear. He didn't want to delve deeper.
"Don't look, it's dirty."
Jiang Shuifu's view was blocked by him, but she could still hear the disgusting sounds. The Second Prince was having sex with the black bear, and in despair, she had no power to fight back.
She dared not look at him a second time.
Only after they reached a safe area did Shen Jizhao release her, thinking that everything was alright now. However, the first thing she noticed when she opened her eyes was that he was not normal.
A flushed face, bright red lips, and rapid breathing.
She could tell he was trying his best to control himself, to the point that his blood vessels were pounding, like they were about to explode.
His entire being resembled the veins of a tree leaf stained with red sap, the leaf tissue broken and transparent, frighteningly withered.
Jiang Shuifu stepped forward and caught his swaying body, both confused and frightened:
"Husband, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Have you been poisoned? I gave you the medicine..."
She pretended to touch his waist, searching for the medicine she had prepared beforehand.
Shen Jizhao's pupils were already cloudy. He suddenly grabbed her hand and forcefully stopped her from acting recklessly.
Jiang Shuifu felt the heat from his hand; did he have a fever?
Shen Jizhao, breathing heavily, questioned her, "Who sent you? Are you scared?"
She wasn't delirious yet and could still get angry. She moved her wrist; it hurt too much.
Shen Jizhao wouldn't allow her to disobey him, so he gripped her even tighter, almost uttering each word with difficulty:
"Don't move, or I won't let you go."
Jiang Shuifu knew he was uncomfortable, so she immediately stopped what she was doing.
He looked into her bright, watery eyes. She was clearly a weak woman, but she always tried to act tough in front of him.
He thought she would be hypocritical again, forcing herself to say she wasn't afraid, but to his surprise, Jiang Shuifu nodded.
"I'm terrified. This is the first time I've ever seen people eating human flesh and drinking human blood. I'm so shocked. Although I was mischievous when I was young, I never risked my life. I dare not go to such a place. My heart is pounding in my chest. Did you hear that, my husband?"
Shen Jizhao's pulse pounded in unison, and he could feel her intense rhythm, which stirred a dark excitement within him. He was very unhappy with this realization and released her, saying, "I can't hear you."
At the same time, he thought to himself: Scared? Still dare to come? What an idiot!
Jiang Shuifu stepped forward, almost touching his body, to prove to him, "Did you hear that now? How scared I am, but my husband will protect me. I don't want you to fight alone."
Shen Jizhao's expression changed instantly.
No one ever told him they didn't want him to fight alone, and no one dared to say it.
He was always alone, walking alone on the edge of danger, and never trusted anyone.
She dared to speak so arrogantly, overstepping her bounds and forgetting her place. He grabbed her chin, tilting his head slightly closer to her nose.
"I despise sweet talk the most!"
Jiang Shuifu smiled sarcastically to herself:
"My husband has never believed me, and I am truly heartbroken. He protects me because of my status, and I only do so because I want you to be safe. Even if you don't believe me, don't you have confidence in yourself? In your heart, there is only yourself, the royal family, and the people. Perhaps one day, can you add something else?"
She doesn't need his love; if possible, give her some trust.
Shen Jizhao approached step by step, her eyes filled with anger. She was blaming him for his lack of confidence, for blaming him for wrongly accusing her, for blaming him for being selfish, and for not liking her.
She has such audacity!
Jiang Shuifu could tell he was angry. He took a step forward and she took a step back until he suddenly pulled her into his arms.
Her vision went dark instantly, and her entire head was buried in his chest.
She didn't see that Shen Jizhao was taking a heavy blow from a giant tiger, whose claws almost severed the sword's blade.
But she could clearly hear the dire situation: the man was struggling to resist, and a low growl escaped his throat as he mumbled something she couldn't make out.
This tiger was much larger than the black bear, and its killing power was naturally much greater. Shen Jizhao held the sword with both hands and tried to cut off its claws. Once the claws were gone, the danger would be reduced.
But that's easier said than done. The tiger not only has claws but also sharp teeth. It launched an attack at the same time, roaring as it tried to swallow him whole.
He tried his best to stop him, but his body still leaned backward with difficulty.
Jiang Shuifu was terrified when she heard the voice. She immediately looked up and was met with a long tongue covered in barbs, which looked like bone spurs and were quite frightening.
She was extremely anxious, her soft hands climbing up his arm and unconsciously squeezing him. "Husband, what can I do?"
This touch, to Shen Jizhao, wasn't about what to do, but about taking her; it was blatant provocation.
The second brother's methods are underhanded; he not only wants him dead, but also wants to ruin his reputation. There are only wild beasts in the mountains, and if he can't control them, he will only become a beast himself.
He secretly curled his lips. No wonder they were brothers. He hadn't noticed his second brother's scheme when he blew the whistle, but that didn't stop him from choosing the same method to disqualify his second brother from the competition.
He was getting increasingly hot, with countless streams of energy surging and colliding within his body.
He felt like his body was about to explode, and Jiang Shuifu was still provoking him relentlessly; he was about to lose control.
But precisely because of this, all his strength was instantly mobilized, his body became as strong and hard as an ox, and his potential was quickly unleashed.
"Hiss! Crack!" Shen Jizhao's sword had caught fire. The tiger was burned and retracted its claws. He continued his pursuit and, without hesitation, chopped off its claws with his sword, which was still sparking.
With a painful roar, they were overturned by the tiger, and the two were thrown ten meters away. Jiang Shuifu had just managed to stand up when Shen Jizhao had already started fighting again.
The tiger, now without its claws, went berserk in fury, its two rows of sharp fangs bared, and it lowered its head to bite and snap his head and neck.
Shen Jizhao tried the same trick again, intending to pick its teeth, but this time the tiger wouldn't fall for it and avoided it. From then on, the two maintained their distance.
He shook his head almost imperceptibly; he was on the verge of losing his mind and couldn't hold on much longer. He ordered Jiang Shuifu.
"Embrace the orphan!"
Jiang Shuifu couldn't believe it. She thought she had misheard again, just like last time, so she didn't move and stared at him blankly.
Perhaps it was because Shen Jizhao's voice betrayed his unease that the tiger attacked again, pouncing once more.
"Bao Gu, do you want to die here with me?"
Jiang Shuifu ran towards him at top speed, not because she had heard what he said, but to save him from being about to be torn apart and eaten without his knowledge.
Her shouts alerted Shen Jizhao, who immediately countered with a powerful thrust that pierced through the air.
At the same time, she ran into his arms and hugged him tightly. They were face to face, and his gaze fell on her, but she did not.
Shen Jizhao followed her gaze and saw that her delicate, boneless hands were covered in blood, with streams of blood flowing down her fingers, palms, and wrists...
His pupils suddenly contracted, and with a shout, he thrust the sword deep into the tiger's head, piercing its entire skull.
Jiang Shuifu loosened her grip on the hairpin, letting it sit firmly in its heart.
Thus, the giant tiger suffered a fatal blow to its head and heart, instantly dying and collapsing to the ground.
Shen Jizhao's mind was in complete turmoil. Why? Why did she save him? Wasn't she afraid of dying? This woman who loves to cry so much actually dared to fight a tiger.
For the first time, he was furious. He carried this abnormal woman and flew across the jungle, shouting, "You, surnamed Jiang, it seems you've lost your mind. I'll take you to sober up!"
Jiang Shuifu didn't know what was wrong with him. She hadn't thought anything of it just now; it was just instinct. Now, thinking back, she was starting to feel scared, and her hands began to ache.
Shen Jizhao's lightness skill was excellent. Jiang Shuifu dared not look at the changing terrain below until they reached a canyon with flowing water. He suddenly rushed down, and she was terrified.
Before she could ask him what she had done wrong, they both fell into the water. She couldn't swim and swallowed a lot of water.
Shen Jizhao wanted to punish her; she shouldn't have meddled so much and shouldn't have said those nonsense things that he didn't care about at all.
The icy valley water brought him back to some clarity, and he noticed the woman beside him struggling in a doggy-paddle manner, which reignited his lust.
"Hmm..."
Jiang Shuifu was quite surprised to see the face magnified several times. He was giving her breathing, and their lips were touching.
She could only feel his cold lips, devoid of any joy. Would he think she was faking it to get closer to him?
She simply couldn't swim, and even with airway support, she couldn't hold on for long before she started to lose consciousness.
Seeing this, Shen Jizhao had no choice but to take her ashore. He was determined to interrogate and reprimand her properly.
After getting ashore, Jiang Shuifu coughed violently and vomited water. She collapsed on the lush green grass, panting heavily.
At this moment, Shen Jizhao's face was both dark and red. He strode forward, and she felt a cold, damp wind brush against her cheek. She turned her head to avoid the wind he stirred up.
Unexpectedly, Shen Jizhao grabbed her face and forcefully pulled it back. She begged for mercy:
"My lord, I really can't swim. I didn't mean to trick you into kissing me."
No sooner had she finished speaking than the man, who usually avoided women and wouldn't allow them near him, roughly kissed her lips.
She was extremely shocked, her eyes wide and round. Before she could recover, a violent and shameful sound echoed through the canyon.
All she could see was her dress torn into pieces, scattered in different places.
She looked at him; his eyes were filled with dark fire and a destructive impulse. He had lost his mind.
She also felt his hardness, which frightened her.
She only realized now that his body was burning hot because of the Chinese medicine.
After Shen Jizhao took off his clothes, he started to ignite passions everywhere. He bent down and took her in his mouth, and she couldn't help but moan a few times.
He became increasingly vicious, biting her hard. She told him to stop, but he wouldn't listen and kept trying different ways to squeeze her. Tears streamed down her face.
It fell beside his ear.
He hadn't completely lost his mind; he knew what he was doing, but he couldn't resist. He softened his grip, almost to the point of coaxing her.
"I know who you are, and I need you."
The woman, who had been crying her eyes out, stopped. She wasn't afraid to do it with him, but she didn't want him to know nothing or remember nothing.
She nodded, and the next second, she started crying again.
Once given permission, the man became even more unrestrained, roaming over every corner of her body, where she was subjected to severe treatment, especially her fattest areas.
How aggrieved! The fat girls were being plucked to their hearts' content. They had already straightened their heads to express their unwillingness, but he still wouldn't let go or stop talking.
He was extremely ecstatic, maintaining complete control and stubbornly only listening to himself.
This time, she experienced his domineering nature in a very concrete way.
She nudged him, but the man ignored her until she covered her mouth. Only then did he look up and stop, a thin line forming on his lips and tongue, connecting their bodies.
The man's hand moved, "It slipped."
Her face flushed with embarrassment, and her sudden breakthrough sounded the clarion call for this battle.
The man exerted all his strength, moving back and forth, inside and out, completely ignoring the woman's cries.
The more he shouted, the more satisfied he became.
Her watery eyes continued to fill with water.
He suddenly turned her over, so she couldn't see him anymore and wouldn't beg for mercy.
She rubbed against the grass until she was exhausted.
All I could do was watch as the flowers and grasses so close at hand were covered in glistening dewdrops.
The final blow brought about a complete transformation.
After two rounds, Jiang Shuifu was completely exhausted.
I can't even lift my fingers; I feel extremely weak.
Before she could rest, her waist was grabbed by force again. No matter how much she begged him, he refused to let go and even became more aggressive, lifting her legs up and continuing to push through the obstacles.
He was like a savage, primitive man. Today, Shen Jizhao was a completely different person; the night they spent together paled in comparison to even a tenth of his former self.
Even after finishing that position, he was still not satisfied, so he broke her body again and began a new world.
Jiang Shuifu couldn't take it anymore and asked for a truce. She climbed onto his arm and shook it, saying:
"My husband, I'm in pain."
She coaxed him for a long time, and the man finally let her go.
She tried to protect her overworked body.
But before she could succeed, her body was pried open again, and she immediately burst into tears.
The man then inserted his penis.
Shen Jizhao applied medicine to her, and upon looking at her, he realized that he had indeed gone too far; she needed to rest.
"If you use your medicine, it won't be a waste."
Jiang Shuifu disregarded her shame; this moment of relaxation truly made her feel good, and she did feel much better after applying the medicine.
They rested for two full hours, during which Shen Jizhao stayed in the water while she rested in place.
After dark, he found some fruit for her. After she finished eating, she was about to go to sleep, but he grabbed her fair and smooth feet, his eyes looking at her with an all-too-familiar gaze.
She wanted to refuse, but her body agreed for her.
She never expected that he would still be in pain after so long, so he was in the water trying to relieve and control the pain, but even after two hours, it was still not working.
"Waaaaah, my husband is bullying me too much."
Jiang Shuifu wanted to cry but had no tears. She had already released enough fluids, but it still couldn't satisfy him.
It's still the same posture where it was interrupted.
Her voice was still hoarse and she couldn't call out anymore. The man's voice was almost gone, but he had inexhaustible strength. Her body was covered in bruises and welts.
And so they continued like this for most of the night, applying the ointment repeatedly. She never imagined that her ointment would have such a use and such an end.
Jiang Shuifu felt dizzy and as if she were hallucinating. A pure white fox with colorful and beautiful tail fur smiled at her.
Its tail swayed, and sure enough, she was hallucinating—nine tails!
