The young master is shameless - Chapter 99
Chapter 79
Shen Zhili insisted on leaving, packed her bags quickly, and prepared to depart early the next morning.
The date in March is not far off.
She had to get back to Huichun Valley as quickly as possible.
Before she even left the courtyard, she saw Ye Qianqian with a dark face, arms crossed and eyes downcast in thought. Upon seeing her come out, Ye Qianqian lowered her arms and said, "Do you want to go back to Huichun Valley? I'll take you back."
Shen Zhili was a little embarrassed: "I drugged you before..."
Ye Qianqian: "No need to say anything, I promised to send you back safely."
As she spoke, she led out two camels and said to Shen Zhili, "Let's go."
Following Ye Qianqian, Shen Zhili couldn't help but ask, "What about the Demonic Sect..."
Ye Qianqian: "We've already agreed to peace talks, but the specifics still need to be discussed by both sides. I can take you back first, it'll be fine."
Shen Zhili moved her lips for a long time before finally saying, "Oh."
After all, she was just an outsider.
“However…” Ye Qianqian turned to look at Shen Zhili, her beautifully curved lips curving into a slight smile, her beauty breathtaking, “The premise of the negotiation is that I will be the next leader of the Divine Sect.”
Shen Zhili was taken aback: "Huh?"
Ye Qianqian briefly explained: "Su Chenche taught me. He told the Divine Cult that I was pretending to obey the righteous sects, but in reality, I was loyal to the Divine Cult. He told the righteous sects that I had abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and that I was obedient to Young Master Twelve Nights. Then both sides agreed."
Shen Zhili: "..."
...This kind of double-dealing is shameless!
As they approached the main altar, Ye Qianqian pulled on the reins and said, "Get on the camel."
Shen Zhili froze for a moment, then struggled to climb between the humps of the camel using both hands and feet. The camel leisurely turned slightly to the side, and Shen Zhili trembled with fright.
Ye Qianqian scoffed, "I'll help you up."
After finally settling into a seat, Shen Zhili glanced to the side and saw Ye Qianqian gracefully and nimbly flip over and leap onto the platform, her red dress fluttering and incredibly alluring.
Seeing Shen Zhili staring intently at her with envy, jealousy, and hatred in his eyes, Ye Qianqian was taken aback: "...Do you think that something like mounting a horse is something to be envied?"
Shen Zhili: "..."
...Are you here to stir up trouble?
So what if you can flip yourself onto a horse?
Ye Qianqian smiled slightly, then seemed to remember something and her smile faded: "Shen Zhili, actually there's something about you that I envy."
Shen Zhili looked at her suspiciously, not expecting to hear anything nice from her at all.
Looking into the distance, Ye Qianqian's voice was so soft it was almost indistinct: "...You are very similar to Su Chenche. No matter what painful experiences you have had or what terrible things you have to face, you can face them calmly."
Shen Zhili was taken aback, not expecting her to say that, then smiled and said, "Perhaps."
Ye Qianqian: "I didn't connect the dots before, but then it dawned on me that the reason you asked me to send you back in three months was because of Twelve Night Flowers, right? You said that it was nourished by your blood regularly, and that period was three months, right? Can you tell me how long until Twelve Night Flowers matures?"
Shen Zhili was silent for a moment: "At most half a year, at least half a month."
As soon as he finished speaking, the space seemed to fall silent instantly.
After a long silence, Ye Qianqian said, "Then he will be sad."
Shen Zhili chuckled: "Didn't you tell me myself that we couldn't be together?"
Ye Qianqian: "Times have changed. I've come to terms with it now. What's not mine will never be mine, and there's no point in forcing it. Also, you... really don't plan to tell him?"
Shen Zhili lowered her eyes.
The long-buried memories were gradually stirred up. Su Chenche did not tell her what happened in that secret room, but her memories did slowly recover. At first, they were fragments, and then they were connected and pieced together by one clue after another. She had never remembered everything from her birth to the present so clearly.
...including those three extra months that came out of nowhere.
She never imagined that she actually knew Su Chenche in the past.
Although their facial features were slightly different, she could still recognize at a glance that the boy with the same smile hidden deep in her memory but full of bad intentions was Su Chenche.
Along with it came a somewhat unfamiliar feeling, a faint and gentle longing.
She cherished the boy's smile and his warm embrace.
Forcing herself to calm down, Shen Zhili said, "If I tell him, he will definitely try to cause trouble. I promised my master that I would keep my promise. Also..." She paused for a moment, "Perhaps you don't know, but the person my master wants to resurrect is Su Chenche's biological mother."
"So, I think that even if I die, he won't be lonely."
...She still remembered the appearance of the woman in the crystal coffin in the stone cave of Huichun Valley. She looked exactly like the woman in the painting, only more gentle and more beautiful. She must have been a very gentle mother.
The women that a master likes are never too bad.
Ye Qianqian led the camel for a while before saying, "It's your decision. I hope you won't regret it."
Will I regret it?
Shen Zhili pressed her hand to her heart, but accidentally pulled something out.
She looked down and saw two strands of hair tied together, with a thin tassel hanging from the bottom.
Suddenly, he remembered that it seemed that when they were still in Huichun Valley, Hua Jiuye plucked a hair from Su Chenche, and he simply tied it to his own.
Tying the hair together is something that newlyweds do in their bridal chamber.
--We became husband and wife, and our love will never be separated.
An unspeakable emotion welled up in Shen Zhili's heart.
He didn't come to see her off...
Gripping her hair tightly, Shen Zhili couldn't help but turn around and look back.
*******************************************************************************
Shen Zhili: "..."
Someone: "..."
Shen Zhili's lips twitched: "...Why are you in the back!?"
Someone grinned, revealing gleaming white teeth: "Zhi Li, you've been following me for ages, and it's only just dawning on you?"
Seeing that Shen Zhili remained expressionless and did not answer, someone took the item from Shen Zhili's hand on their own initiative: "What you were looking at just now was..." Someone revealed a look of surprise, "Zhili, isn't this our token of love?"
Shen Zhili snatched it away, her face slightly flushed: "...No!"
They don't have anything like love tokens!
Su Chenche didn't seem to mind, and instead tugged at her sleeve: "Zhili, if you're leaving, take me with you."
Shen Zhili glared angrily and flung her hand away: "Why are you leaving? Isn't your back injury enough? It's a desert outside. What if you tear your wound open and can't move? You won't be able to come back even if you want to!"
Su Chenche pulled her arm again, blinking innocently, "Zhi Li, you'll protect me, right?"
...Your sister!
I'm the one who's helpless and needs someone to protect me, okay?
Shen Zhili was suddenly very surprised that she had actually had some kind of struggle before.
Although it was still early and there weren't too many people around, quite a few disciples, whether from the demonic sect or the righteous sect, were already casting very gossipy glances at them!
The most important thing is to get away from this disgraceful guy as soon as possible!
Ye Qianqian received a pleading look from Shen Zhili, gripped both reins tightly, and the camel's speed increased instantly.
Shen Zhili: "Aren't you going to let go?"
Su Chenche: "I won't let go!"
Shen Zhili: "You're not a three- or four-year-old anymore, why are you pulling and tugging at me like that? Aren't you ashamed? Let go of my clothes!"
Su Chenche said seriously, "No!"
Shen Zhili was exasperated: "Someone's watching! Ah... Look, it looks like something's rushing towards you from behind!"
Su Chenche's deep gaze: "Zhi Li, it's no use, I won't turn my back..."
The words stopped abruptly as a boot landed squarely on Su Chenche's head.
Su Chenche: "..."
Shen Zhili burst into laughter: "Hahaha... I wasn't lying to you, you really do have something behind you..."
With a few quick footsteps, a slender hand yanked the boot off Su Chenche's head, calmly put it back on, and then calmly gripped Su Chenche's neck, its voice chilling and sinister: "How dare you try to fool me with an imposter..."
Her fingers tightened, and her slightly languid voice, tinged with panting, slowly caressed him: "It's been a long time since I've encountered something so unpleasant."
Su Chenche raised his leg to kick back, but Hua Jiuye dodged to the side. Su Chenche then quickly broke free from Hua Jiuye's grip with a backhand elbow.
As if they had rehearsed countless times, the two quickly began to fight.
Shen Zhili: "Senior brother, stop..."
Hua Jiuye sneered, "No pleading allowed! If I don't kill this guy today, I'll change my name!"
Shen Zhili: "Night-blooming Flower, it sounds awful, Senior Brother..."
Hua Jiuye was completely too lazy to pay attention to her, and was so engrossed in arguing with Su Chenche that she forgot all about it.
Because Su Chenche was seriously injured and Hua Jiuye was exhausted, their gorgeous exchange of moves quickly came to an end, eventually turning into a strange posture where the two were choking each other.
Shen Zhili pressed her forehead and turned her head.
Ye Qianqian rested her chin on her hand, seemingly quite interested, and leisurely said with a smile, "Hey, don't you think they look a lot like fighting cocks?"
Shen Zhili: "..."
I couldn't help but go back for a look. Their faces were red, their necks thick, their expressions contorted as they tumbled together—it really did look a bit like them…
The female disciple of the Demonic Sect behind him said, "Look, look, don't these two look a bit like Little Flower and Little Black in this painting?"
Female disciple B: "How can they look alike? Xiao Hua and Xiao Hei are clearly in love! And look, their faces are so distorted that you can't even tell what they were originally."
Female disciple Jia Xizi clutched her heart: "That's what makes it even more exciting! Don't believe me? Look how passionately they're fighting! It's even more intense than in the paintings! Ahhh... Is this the legendary love-hate relationship?"
Shen Zhili turned her head expressionlessly: "Excuse me, could I borrow it to take a look?"
He snatched it, flipped through it... So it really was those lousy drawings she made...
