Chapter 76: Even the friends of the frequent sand person know

The facts prove that knowing too much is also not a good thing.

If both people know a lot, then it's even more of a 'disaster'.

If they disagree, who knows what will happen......

No.

No.

Can't think about it.

Du Shanü closed her eyes, trying to throw out the junk in her mind.

What those two people just said is right—Chinu is still sick, she is not a beast, how could she be in the old forest......

Besides, there's still Yu Baobao at home!

Du Shanü became completely sober.

She stepped forward and walked toward the place where she had just heard the sound.

And behind her, Chinu rose, saw this scene, and his brow furrowed suddenly.

His rib wound had been carefully bandaged, yet he inevitably let out a faint groan, just loud enough for her to hear.

Du Shanü had taken only a step when she heard the sound, turned back, and saw Chinu holding onto a branch, his knuckles whitening.

His skin remained the porcelain white of a wandering spirit.

Yet his cheekbones and ear tips bore an unspeakable crimson.

Chinu slightly turned his head toward Du Shanü, his eyelashes trembling as he lifted them, slowly sweeping his gaze over her from top to bottom.

One glance, only one glance.

Then he didn't lift his head again.

He just kept his eyes lowered, brows and lashes pressing down, motionless.

Chinu is Chinu.

Even though the gloomy, cunning, and arrogant aura of the past remains.

Yet such a demeanor makes one's heart tremble all the more.

Du Shanü's knees went weak, and she almost fell straight into the dry grass pile.

She had no choice but to retreat in disarray:

"...... Can you walk?"

Chinu didn't answer, so Du Shanü didn't ask again; she simply placed his arm on her shoulder, half-supporting, half-carrying him forward.

As a result, not holding him she didn't realize, but once she did, she was startled.

Chinu's frame was slender, yet unexpectedly heavy.

Especially, especially when he leaned his weight onto her shoulder, relying on her, it felt as heavy as a mountain collapsing.

But......

What can be done?

After all, he's my own slave; I can't just abandon him here because he's heavy!

Besides, my slave has become quite obedient now!

Du Shanü gritted her teeth, head down, supporting the person as they made their way through the thick forest.

Letting the hand on her shoulder grip her clothing, tightening bit by bit.

In the dense forest, light was dim, the branches and leaves lush, weaving a jade-green canopy.

Occasionally light leaked down, landing on them before slipping away.

Perhaps because he wasn't rejected this time, Chinu's breathing gradually steadied a bit, though it remained shallow; after walking a stretch, he had to pause slightly.

Du Shanü didn't urge him on, merely slowing her steps even more:

"Really, it's spooky."

"I just heard the sound roughly from this direction; why is there nothing now?"

No wonder those two chose this spot to dump a corpse!

The dense forest is lush, the ground covered with dead branches and leaves all looking the same.

Earlier, when she chased Chinu in, she had hurried; now, after just a few steps, she had completely lost her bearings—if it were ordinary times......

Besides a handful of people, no one would think to come here.

Du Shanü frowned, carefully scanning the surroundings.

Then she heard the faint voice of Chinu, weakly leaning on her shoulder:

"Just now there was a loud rustle of fallen leaves; it must have been those two burying the corpse under the dead leaves......"

"Look carefully—if some patches of dead leaves are unusually dark, that's probably it."

Normally, the upper side of dead branches and leaves is drier and more arid.

But if there has been any turning to cover something, the side facing the soil will be flipped up, making those leaves damper and their color more noticeable.

Du Shanü thought it over, found it quite reasonable, and smiled approvingly:

"My slave is really impressive; he even knows these things."

In her previous life she had been a model citizen her whole life, never killed anyone, never buried a corpse—indeed, she hadn't thought of this.

But how could Chinu......

Du Shanü had just thought that when Chinu, like a roundworm growing in her belly, spoke first:

"I stayed in the Northern Dynasty for over a year and also handled several major affairs."

"Logically, when exterminating a clan, we would pay special attention to women and children."

"Exterminate a clan?"

Watch out for women and children?

This 'attention', won't it be...... to exterminate the root?

No wonder you're particularly adept at this—turns out you had prior experience!

Du Shanü fell silent, just standing in place, searching all around for spots with an obviously different color.

The two stopped moving, the sparrows had long since left, and in the dense forest even the fall of a needle could be heard.

Chinu lowered his eyes, saying self-mockingly:

"People like me are born with an extra measure of ruthlessness and cruelty."

"If you can't bear me, then quickly take back your vow and leave that golden house to your beloved husband......"

I can't bear it.

I really can't bear it anymore!

"Chinu, why do you always have a husband on the left and a husband on the right!"

"This makes them really look more and more like they're having an affair!"

Even, Du Shanü even had an illusion——

"The person she's having an affair with even has the status of a concubine, the bearing of a principal wife, and the tricks of a courtesan."

"Knowing full well she's a concubine, yet she insists on putting on the airs of a principal wife!"

"No, even more like a principal wife than the principal wife herself!"

"Yu Baobao has never controlled her like this at home!"

"Du Shanü could bear it no longer; a surge of evil rose from her heart, anger growing from her gall...... she lightly pinched the ticklish flesh on Chinu's waist."

"Chinu didn't expect her to suddenly do that; his whole body stiffened, and he instinctively dodged in the opposite direction:"

"...... Don't!"

"His movement just happened to bring him even closer to Du Shanü."

"Their breaths collided once again; Du Shanü also didn't expect Chinu to be ticklish, she released her hand and said with a smile:"

"Then promise me you won't say such things next time."

"Some words, it's not that she doesn't want to reply, but she truly doesn't know how to reply."

"Her vow must be genuine."

"But, some boundaries are indeed not good to touch."

"She and Chinu can attract each other; after all, it's simply because they're the same kind of people."

"Arrogant, self-conceited."

"She simply doesn't want to cram too many people into her heart, and of course she doesn't want to have any substantive physical relationship with someone she doesn't love."

"This is also why she doesn't let Ouyang Yan loiter in front of her all the time."

"Although he's undeniably good-looking, that doesn't mean she must necessarily pocket him."

"In her heart, men are not better the more there are, nor better the faster they're changed."

"Throughout the ages, a man could see a woman and love her, take her into his chambers, speak tenderly in times of affection, and discard her like a worn-out shoe once her beauty faded......"

"Just for a moment of pleasure in bed."

"But once the passion subsides, surely there needs to be a place to rest?"

"Today's her, if she yields to a moment's lust and abandons Yu Baobao, tomorrow's her might very well abandon Chinu for someone else......"

"What difference is there between her and men of all ages?"

"Yu Baobao cannot be abandoned, Chinu......"

"Chinu surely cannot be abandoned either."

"Both of these people are very important."

"But as for where to place Chinu, she still needs to think it over, think it over again."

"At the very least, it's not, and cannot be merely for desire."

"Du Shanü spoke seriously, and Chinu was also silent."

"The two remained silent for a few breaths, then Chinu finally said:"

"Then next time you have an affair, you can only look for me."

Du Shanü: "......"

Du Shanü: "Ah?"

She, she didn't hear wrong, right?

Chinu actually skipped the step of demanding a title and directly invited her to have an affair?!
