Mi primer marido después de la transmigración - Capítulo 109
But she must look even uglier now. Without an eye, blood and a distorted expression covering her hideous scars must be horribly gruesome. Tang Yu barely managed to lift her eyes. Even injured, Tian Shu remained elegant and graceful, like a celestial being. She instinctively covered her face with her hands, not wanting him to see her like this.
"Don't cover it..." Her wrist was gently grasped, and Tian Shu's voice was gentler than ever before, "Yu Yu, you are very beautiful."
He lowered his head and gently touched Tang Yu's lips.
The lips gradually grew cold, and the person was no longer able to return the kiss.
Sir... finally, the day has come when it will be my turn to protect you.
Sir... I'm so happy...
Tian Shu didn't turn around, but whispered, "Shen Yuntan, you really are hard to kill."
Shen Yuntan... Shen Yuntan? ???
Shen Yuntan! ?
Someone kept repeating that name in her ear: Shen Yuntan, Shen Yuntan, Shen Yuntan. Tang Shijiu suddenly looked up. The crimson before her eyes still lingered, yet a faint, familiar figure flickered within it, one she longed for.
Shen Yuntan frowned slightly, looking Tang Shijiu up and down. She was disheveled, covered in blood, and looked utterly bewildered. Yet, he had witnessed her move with incredible speed and swiftness, directly targeting Tian Shu, which was utterly bizarre. Shen Yuntan suddenly moved, flashing to Tian Shu's side and grabbing his neck: "What did you do to her?"
Tian Shu lazily raised her eyes: "Hmm? You can go ask her."
Shen Yuntan raised an eyebrow slightly: "Are you... Tianxiu? Or Tianshu?"
"Guess." Her narrow eyes suddenly curved into a strange smile. "Oh, she's here."
Before he could finish speaking, Shen Yuntan felt a gust of wind behind his head and hurriedly rolled away to dodge. It was Tang Shijiu who had attacked! No matter how much he planned, he could never have predicted that Tang Shijiu would attack so rashly. Even though he dodged quickly, a large chunk of flesh was still torn off his shoulder.
"nineteen!"
“Without Tang Shijiu, she would no longer be Tang Shijiu.” Tian Shu’s eyes were as cold as ice, but his tone was as playful as Tian Xiu’s. “She is a puppet of the Tuan Fu Heart Technique, more terrifying than you or me. She is a mindless puppet that kills anyone she sees.”
As he spoke, Tang Shijiu, having missed his first attack, struck again.
The rainbow-like shadows fluttered and danced, like lightning and illusion, resembling a roc spreading its wings and soaring. The dark shadows spread across the ground, covering everything, rising with the wind, and ascending upwards, making them unpredictable.
Shen Yuntan could only parry, unable to retaliate, frantically dodging left and right. He had always been confident in his superior agility, otherwise he wouldn't have been known as the "Hidden One," but facing Tang Shijiu at this moment, he had no advantage whatsoever. A moment's inattention and he was struck several times, each blow drawing blood.
"Tang Nineteen! I am Shen Yuntan!"
Shen Yuntan... Shen Yuntan... The familiar name lingered in Shijiu's ears, but he just couldn't remember it.
"Tang Shijiu, if you keep fighting, you'll kill Shenyin."
Shen Yuntan was unfortunately scratched again.
Nineteen! I am a spittoon!
Tang Shijiu paused, as if he was thinking about something.
Shen Yun, being incredibly clever, immediately caught her hesitation and shamelessly shouted, "Nineteen, I'm a good-for-nothing, I'm a spittoon, I'm an old man!!!"
A spittoon...a spittoon.
That silly, clueless spittoon who cries for the Queen's help whenever he sees bandits. He wouldn't lie to her, he wouldn't make her shed tears.
The red light faded considerably, and she finally saw the person in front of her clearly: a spittoon covered in mud and blood, looking utterly disheveled.
It's not the famous, scheming Shen Yin.
It wasn't Shen Yuntan who was so affectionate that she was at a loss, hesitant, or even felt pressured.
Rather, it was the spittoon that simply liked her, and she simply liked it back.
"Spittoon... ah..." Something kept overflowing uncontrollably, making my face all wet. How annoying.
How embarrassing! How could she cry so pathetically in front of the spittoon?
Never mind, let him cry! Not only cry, but he'll smear his snot and tears all over him to make it worthwhile! Without thinking twice, Tang Shijiu rushed over and hugged Shen Yuntan tightly, as if afraid that he would disappear again in the blink of an eye.
Seeing her pounce on him like that, Shen Yuntan was terrified. He only came to his senses when the warm, soft body was nestled in his arms.
That was close! I almost lost my life. Women are definitely not to be trifled with; they can be more dangerous than tigers.
He felt a little helpless. Why didn't she react when he called Shen Yuntan, but she snapped out of it when he called the "Spittoon Useless Uncle"? Just how did she perceive him?!
"Nineteen?" he called her, still somewhat uncertainly.
"Hmm... spittoon." Her eyes were still glazed over, and she murmured as if in a dream, "Spittoon, I like you, I love you, I want to be with you forever."
The sudden confession was like a huge pie falling from the sky—a pleasant surprise, but it almost killed him. Shen Yun, having narrowly escaped death, indeed turned misfortune into blessing. Ignoring the fact that Tian Shu had already fled, he tightly embraced Tang Shijiu.
"Nineteen, let's go to the Tang Clan now. I'll go and propose marriage to your father."
"Spittoon, you're the best. You never lie to me. Unlike Shenyin, who sometimes sweet-talks me and leaves me bewildered, and other times is full of tricks and hard to fathom..." She buried her face in his chest and murmured as if in a dream, "Yes, I love you. I don't want anyone else, I only love you." Finally, she couldn't hold on any longer and fell into a deep sleep.
Her earlier ecstasy was instantly extinguished by a bucket of cold water. Her tightly clasped hands loosened slightly; she still... couldn't fully love him as a person.
Everyone has more than one side. Shen Yin is Shen Yun Tan, and Tan Yu is also Shen Yun Tan. He is a normal person; it's impossible for him to be as completely split as Tian Shu and Tian Xiu. Shen Yin and Tan Yu together make up the complete Shen Yun Tan. Just like the suspicious Tang Shijiu and the straightforward Tang Shijiu together make up a living, breathing person.
He could accept the suspicious and cautious Tang Shijiu, but Tang Shijiu could not accept his deep-seated scheming.
There's absolutely nothing we can do.
It's not that he doesn't love her, but that he can't make her fall completely in love with him.
The person in his arms slept soundly, a slight smile playing on her lips, as if she were having a sweet dream. Shen Yuntan lowered his head and gently kissed her red lips. The taste of blood still lingered on her lips, a reminder that the violent and bloodthirsty Tang Shijiu from moments before was not a hallucination of Shen Yuntan.
