Chapter 282: Chapter 282 Minister under the Skirt (4)

“No,” Chuzheng said with a tense expression, denying it with a calm demeanor.

Even if it were me, what could you do to me?

Hit me, huh!

That’ll cool your mocking!

“Chu Yingyu!” Guo Zhen roared, “Who else could it be here but you?”

Chuzheng pointed a finger at him.

Guo Zhen subconsciously looked behind him, only to find no one there; she was pointing at him.

The Princess of Xia Country personally saw Guo Zhen touch the Shadow Tree Beast, and the beast disintegrated into ash, during which Chuzheng hadn’t even moved the hem of her garment.

The Princess of Xia Country’s face was filled with anger, “Guo Zhen, I really misjudged you!”

The Princess of Xia Country ran away crying.

Guo Zhen wanted to argue with Chuzheng but feared that the Princess of Xia Country might be in danger, so he could only leave a message, “Chu Yingyu, you wait for me!”

Chuzheng wore an indifferent expression.

Wait for what, to hit me?

You can’t beat me!

You weakling!

The three of them left one after another.

Once everyone was gone, Chuzheng leaned her body back, feeling a bit dizzy from too much blood loss.

No matter how sophisticated the software, if the hardware isn’t up to par, it’s all useless.

–

Chuzheng walked out of the corridor and found a secret chamber at its end, but no other exit.

The passage seemed to be shifting. She followed Guo Zhen and the others, but didn’t notice any trace of them along the way.

Unable to find the exit, Chuzheng could only enter the secret chamber.

There were some items in the chamber. Chuzheng glanced over them and had no intention of taking anything.

Xie Shu leaned against the side, arms crossed, “Isn’t this what Your Highness was looking for? Why don’t you take them now?”

The woman’s face was a bit pale at this time, but she kept walking forward without showing any signs of pain.

Xie Shu couldn’t figure out what was going on with her and didn’t dare run away.

He was afraid that not only would he fail to escape, but he might also provoke her anger.

The most important thing was that he couldn’t get out on his own.

“Why so much talk?”

“Didn’t Your Highness used to enjoy listening to me talk? Now I’m speaking for you to hear.”

“Shut your mouth.”

Xie Shu’s eyes darkened, “Does Your Highness not like me anymore?”

“Xie Shu.”

Suddenly, Chuzheng called his name.

“Your Highness,” Xie Shu responded with a smile, “What is it?”

That smile was bewitching, sinking anyone who glanced at it.

If not for the lack of sincerity reaching his eyes, Chuzheng might have believed that he was truly smiling.

Chuzheng’s brow was filled with coldness, “Don’t move.”

“What does Your Highness want to do?” Xie Shu tilted his head, “This is indeed a good place, but Your Highness…”

“I told you not to move,” Chuzheng said, her voice cool and carrying a warning.

Perhaps taken aback by Chuzheng’s sternness, Xie Shu didn’t dare to move anymore. His gaze fixed on Chuzheng’s eyes, he could clearly see behind him a large black snake, poised to strike.

The black snake was thicker than a barrel, revealing only half of its body with the rest hidden in darkness, making it impossible to tell its full length.

Xie Shu’s breathing got heavier.

The snake hissed its crimson tongue, making a sibilant sound in the silent chamber, wavering uncertainly.

Suddenly, the snake dove down, opening its gaping maw wide, aiming to bite off Xie Shu’s neck in one go.

Xie Shu’s body tensed and he lunged forward.

Bang—

The snake was flung away, crashing into items in the chamber, causing a clattering commotion.

Xie Shu collapsed into Chuzheng’s embrace, pinning her to the side table.

“Hiss, hiss, hiss…”

The angry hissing of the snake reached Xie Shu’s ears, and he instinctively turned to look.

The snake struggled to rise from where it was, twisting its body, rushing toward them.

Xie Shu’s vision flickered, and a flash of silver darted by—a flash of silver that the charging snake seemed to collide with, piling its whole body up as though hitting something invisible.

The silver web woven in the air became visible momentarily due to the impact from the snake.

The net fell down, covering the serpent’s body.

Following that, Xie Shu could no longer see the silver net, only the gradually fading silhouette of the serpent as it vanished.

It was like someone had hit the slow-motion button, the serpent’s body slowly turning to dust, disappearing bit by bit.

This scene was not long ago witnessed on the body of the Shadow Tree Beast.

At that time, Xie Shu did not feel it was her doing, as she had indeed done nothing.

But now…

“Step aside,” Chuzheng said.

Xie Shu pursed his lips, stood up, and moved to the side.

Chuzheng propped herself up from the platform, her shoulder once again beginning to ooze blood, the entire sleeve turning nearly red.

“Was that a Xuan Artifact you used just now?” He had no idea she possessed such a formidable Xuan Artifact.

Chuzheng held her shoulder with one hand.

Xuan Artifact? What Xuan Artifact?

It took a moment for Chuzheng to remember that in this world, the weapons used by the Xuan Masters are called Xuan Artifacts.

Of course, there were even more powerful Holy Artifacts and Divine Artifacts.

Chuzheng’s face was indifferent: “What’s it to you.”

“It’s not my business,” Xie Shu scoffed coldly.

The serpent had appeared suddenly, and Xie Shu walked to the place where the serpent had first appeared, looking up but finding no exit.

Was there some mechanism above that had been triggered by this serpent?

Or had the serpent been here all along?

Xuan beasts generally possess intelligence, and should not be regarded as ordinary beasts.

Xie Shu glanced back.

The woman leaned against the stone platform, her head slightly bowed, revealing only the stern profile of her face.

Xie Shu returned somewhat reluctantly: “Let me look at your wound.”

“Trying to kill me, huh.” This weakling harbors ill intentions.

“Your Highness, do you think I could leave this place alive without you?” Xie Shu didn’t hide his malice: “Your Highness, rest assured, I want to live even more.”

Chuzheng looked up, meeting Xie Shu’s gaze.

She pulled down the clothes near her wound, exposing her shoulder.

Xie Shu’s gaze shifted away in a flash.

How could she just expose it like that.

Taking a subtle breath internally, Xie Shu turned his head to look.

The wound was located in the armpit area, the blood around it dried and turned into dark, clotted lumps, but the wound itself continued to bleed.

The blood was not the normal red, but a murky brownish red.

“You’re poisoned,” said Xie Shu.

“Oh,” Chuzheng said nonchalantly, pulling her clothes back.

Xie Shu: “…”

–

Xie Shu sat cross-legged beside her, meticulously cleaning Chuzheng’s wound.

“Does it not hurt?”

“If you don’t apply too much pressure, it won’t hurt.”

Xie Shu glanced at the woman, her expression calm, her gaze resting on nothingness, showing no sign of pain.

This person…

Indeed, was different from Chu Yingyu.

But how could that be possible…

There are no two identical people in this world.

To attract his attention, Chu Yingyu had done plenty of absurd things; this might just be another one of her schemes.

Xie Shu suppressed the doubts in his heart: “The poison has already entered your body; I do not know what poison it is, and even if I did, there is nothing here to cure it with.”

“Oh.” She should have just waited there to be rescued.

Xie Shu looked at her: “Your Highness, do you understand what I am saying?”

Chuzheng looked up, seriously asking, “What?”

Xie Shu: “What I mean is, you might not be able to leave this place.”

Chuzheng’s face remained cold: “Oh.”

So she really should have waited there to be rescued.

Maybe it ought to be rewound a bit…
