Chapter 164: Deceiving Uncle Sheng (63)

Ji Xubai saw the indifference in Wen Zhigu’s eyes. He bowed his head and leaned over her neck. His thin, cold lips sucked her skin like a beast licking its prey. Suddenly, he whispered in her ear, “Will you leave me?”

Wen Zhigu’s breathing trembled as he bit her. But she only gripped the bedding under her without saying a word. Her eyes were still cold as if she felt nothing inside.

Ji Xubai did not wait for her answer, nor was he angry. Instead, he thought of something, hooked his lips, bit her again, and licked her skin. He said, “You dare not. You will be shrouded in my shadow in this life, and you will never escape.”

Wen Zhigu pushed him away with difficulty and stared at him with cold eyes, which were tinged with red.

She had to admit that Ji Xubai was right. No matter what happened, she was fated to live under his shadow for her whole life.

This man was cruel and ruthless and hated her so much.

He would never let go of her. Never.

When she had been tortured to her lowest points, she’d tried to commit suicide, many times, but she had never succeeded. This mad had always found a way to keep her alive.

Wen Zhigu stared at him for a long time. Tears shimmered in her eyes and couldn’t help but fall.

“Ji Xubai, as long as you keep our agreement, I won’t leave you.”

Ji Xubai smiled, and the smile spread to his eyes. It seemed to be the first time he was so happy to hear Wen Zhigu speak. No, it was what she’d said that made him so satisfied.

His eyes softened, and he bowed his head and touched her lower abdomen, speaking like a tender lover.

“You can go if you want. This is a good opportunity.”

The next day, Teacher Li got a satisfactory answer. He explained some matters they had to keep in mind.

“It is necessary for me to remind you that there is a war going on in Southern Xinjiang. Yu Shuicheng is only separated from Southern Xinjiang by a mountain and water zone. You cannot go toward that side, no matter what.”

“Also, I expressly asked the court for several officers and soldiers. They will escort you to Yu Shuicheng, and as for traveling expenses, it is all the responsibility of the academy. You only have to prepare your bags and meet outside the city tomorrow morning.”

Both of them responded politely to the reminder. After going out, Wen Zhigu turned to look at Shu Nuan, who also happened to look up to notice the other girl’s gaze. Shu Nuan rubbed her nose and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Wen Zhigu smiled.

“Do you want to visit the prince?”

Shu Nuan smiled and nodded.

“Teacher Li won’t let you go to Southern Xinjiang,” Wen Zhigu replied, lifting an eyebrow.

Shu Nuan whispered, “Will sneak.”

“The first place holder is very deceptive.”

Wen Zhigu smiled back at her.

Shu Nuan also quirked up the corner of her mouth again, somewhat embarrassed. She stretched out her hands towards the corner of her eyes, and said, “I will finish the task before going.”

Since they would be leaving early the next morning, they went to buy some things in the market.

“Southern Xinjiang is highly dangerous now,” Wen Zhigu said. She couldn’t help but begin talking as they walked down the street.

“I won’t run to the battlefield, don’t worry.”

All she needed to do was find someone in the city to lead her to the barracks where the prince was, Nuan thought.

After they finished shopping, they bid farewell and went back to each of their residences.

Shu Nuan went to the Li Shop before she went back and told the shop-owner’s wife her plans. She listened to Nuan and wore a look of terror mixed with concern.

“How long will it take?”

“I don’t know, it should take a month or two,” she said.

“Then I will have to hire another.”

Shu Nuan nodded and said, “I’ve caused you trouble this time.”

The shop-owner’s wife waved her hand, packed her a plate of Osmanthus Jelly, settled her wages, and let her leave readily.
