Chapter 1430: Are You Satisfied?

Editor: Atlas Studios

“Ji Minglou!”

Yun Shuang shuddered and woke up from her sleep.

Extreme fatigue and soreness swept through her, making her gasp.

She tried to raise her hand and pinch the space between her eyebrows, but she realized that she had no strength.

At this moment, she was lying in a man’s arms, surrounded by his large arms.

This man was Jiang Guanchao.

She had already regained her rationality.

However, what had happened in the past few days did not disappear from her mind because of the cleansing of the love poison.

The scenes were so clear that it was unbearable to look back, especially the scene where she took the initiative to use that method.

“I actually…”

Yun Shuang closed her eyes and could not believe that her usually calm self would say such a thing under the effect of the medicine.

However, since it had already happened, it was useless to regret it.

Moreover, this poison was intense. Perhaps that method was the only way to survive.

However, it was unknown if she was affected by the love poison, but she was also doing that with Jiang Guanchao in her dream.

Then, Ji Minglou suddenly charged out.

The dream was interrupted.

It was already dark again.

Jiang Guanchao was still unconscious and his breathing was even.

Yun Shuang lay quietly in his arms for a long time before recovering some strength. She gently removed his arm.

The moment their skin touched, a charming and intense scene suddenly flashed across her mind. Yun Shuang blushed.

“It’s just sex. It’s no big deal.”

Yun Shuang forced herself to calm down. She put on her clothes, tied her waist-length hair with a headband, stood up, and left the cave.

–

After waiting for three days, Su Xiaoxiao and the others finally couldn’t sit still and planned to let Wuhu investigate.

At this moment, Yun Shuang appeared.

“Abba-Abba!”

Wei Xiaobao immediately stretched out her small arm to Yun Shuang.

Yun Shuang wanted to hug Xiaobao, but she… didn’t have the strength.

Su Xiaoxiao also sensed Yun Shuang’s “weakness” and didn’t hand Wei Xiaobao over. “Mother, are you alright?”

Yun Shuang said without changing her expression, “Oh, I bumped into those Japanese assassins who slipped away and chased them all the way. I’m a little tired.”

“Woah?”

Wei Xiaobao looked behind Yun Shuang. Yun Shuang didn’t have to guess to know that she was looking for Jiang Guanchao.

Wei Ting and Elder Qiu went searching nearby.

Nie Jinfeng accompanied Su Xiaoxiao in the cave.

Nie Jinfeng hurriedly asked, “Didn’t he come back with you?”

At the mention of this, Yun Shuang felt a little guilty.

If not for such a ridiculous thing, he might have gone to the Wei family to see Xiaobao.

But now—

As long as she was there, he would probably avoid her.

Yun Shuang said in shame, “Sorry, he might… not appear.”

Nie Jinfeng sighed. “As expected, he still doesn’t want to see me.”

“It’s not like that… He…” Yun Shuang paused, finding it difficult to say anything about her and Jiang Guanchao.

“Then he’s not hurt, is he?”

Nie Jinfeng asked worriedly.

Yun Shuang thought of the scratches and bite marks on his back and chest and said calmly, “He should be… fine.”

Elder Qiu and Wei Ting returned from hunting.

Elder Qiu was not too surprised to know that Jiang Guanchao was unwilling to see them.

He had long expected things to not go so smoothly.

Elder Qiu said to Nie Jinfeng, “Don’t push him too hard. Let’s go back to the Wei family first and let him be alone.”

–

On the way back, Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting asked about the Japanese assassins.

Fortunately, Yun Shuang and Jiang Guanchao had indeed killed that group of people. Otherwise, she really wouldn’t be able to answer.

“All those Japanese assassins were killed, and a Central Plainsman ran away.”

When she and Jiang Guanchao chased after him, they did not see the young man. He had probably parted ways with the Japanese assassins halfway.

Wei Ting broke a branch and drew the person’s appearance on the ground under Yun Shuang’s description.

When they saw that familiar young face, Wei Ting and Su Xiaoxiao paused.

Su Xiaoxiao frowned. “It’s him?”

Yun Shuang asked, “Do you know each other?”

Wei Ting said, “His name is Leng Ziling. He’s the illegitimate son of the Leng family. His father betrayed the Imperial Court and framed a loyal person, but I killed him. He held a grudge and wanted to kill my father so that I could have a taste of losing him. For this, he didn’t hesitate to give chase to the Southern Wilderness and even joined the Saintess. Later on, the Saintess became Cheng Xin, and he disappeared. He colluded with the Japanese and should have already gone to Thousand Mountain Island.”

Su Xiaoxiao agreed. “He suffered a setback in the Southern Wilderness, but he learned to be smart when he came to Thousand Mountain Island. He didn’t do anything and only waited for us and Xiahou Yi to suffer heavy losses. Unfortunately, he didn’t find a chance to assassinate us. I wonder where he heard about Japan. Could it be Xiahou Yi?”

Wei Ting thought for a moment. “Perhaps.”

“Is this person powerful?” Yun Shuang asked.

Wei Ting said calmly, “He’s just a lowly opponent. It’s easy to deal with this if we know it’s him. Leave it to me, Mother. I’ll handle it.”

Yun Shuang nodded.

After leaving the mountain, Wei Ting saw the Wei family’s carriage.

Cheng Xin was sitting on the roof of the carriage and eating a stick of candied hawthorn. She was holding many sticks, all of which were debts owed by others.

There was also half of an unused IOU pinned to her waist, unused.

There was no coachman.

Because the leading horse was the Sihu.

“You don’t have to do it yourself.”

After Su Xiaoxiao finished speaking to Wei Ting, she looked at a certain someone eating candied hawthorn on the roof of the car and said, “Cheng Xin.”

“Yes.”

Cheng Xin jumped out of the carriage.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and asked, “Do you want to eat more candied hawthorn?”

Cheng Xin nodded!

Su Xiaoxiao pointed at Wei Ting. “Ask him for it!”

Cheng Xin looked at Wei Ting.

Wei Ting sighed. “Kill someone. Three strings. If you capture him alive, five strings.”

Cheng Xin extended her finger. “Ten strings. No bargaining.”

Wei Ting was speechless.

Fifteen minutes later, Cheng Xin accepted the IOU and used her qinggong to chase after Leng Ziling with the falcon.

In the carriage back, the two elders were not in a good mood.

Wei Xiaobao also drooped her head, looking like she had nothing to live for after losing the throwing machine.

It was already after midnight when they arrived at the Wei family.

The servants of the Wei family had already rested and the door was closed.

Surprisingly, there were two people standing on the steps outside the door.

“Jiang Guanchao?”

Yun Shuang was stunned. “How did you…”

Jiang Guanchao was dressed in a black robe. His expression was cold and his aura was powerful, as if nothing had happened in the past few days. Everything was just an illusion brought about by the love poison.

“You want to ask why I’m here?”

Jiang Guanchao asked calmly.

Nie Jinfeng and Elder Qiu were extremely excited.

They thought that… they were destined to return empty-handed this time. They did not expect… their son to return!

“Dongsheng…”

Before Nie Jinfeng could finish, another man walked out from the shadows.

It was the Hall Master of the Heavenly Jade Hall, Ji Minglou.

Now, not to mention Yun Shuang, everyone was surprised.

What the hell?

Was Ji Minglou here too?

Ji Minglou stared deeply at Yun Shuang. “Shuang’er, I caught a Japanese assassin on the island and learned of their plan. I immediately rushed over to inform you.”

Yun Shuang frowned.

Ji Minglou turned around and cupped his hands at Jiang Guanchao. “Thank you for leading the way, Alliance Master Jiang.”

Jiang Guanchao glanced at Yun Shuang. “You’re welcome.”

Ji Minglou took a few steps forward. “Shuang’er, when I found the mountain, Alliance Master Jiang said that you had just left. He even said that you had been poisoned by the Japanese. What poison is it? Have you cured it?”

Everyone was shocked again.

Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly asked, “Mother, are you poisoned?”

Yun Shuang’s eyelashes trembled. “I’m fine! I took the antidote you gave me.”

Jiang Guanchao looked at Yun Shuang coldly. “Is that so?”

Yun Shuang squeezed her fingers. “What are you doing here?”

Jiang Guanchao asked coldly, “Of course I’m here to ask if you satisfied with the cure I administered to you?”
