Chapter 293: Just a Minor Injury (III)

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

s.h.i.+ sighed. “It’s just an accident. There are many beasts in the forest. At first, Liu Suifeng and I were not afraid of anything, but we were besieged by a group of beasts later and I was accidentally scratched by branches when we escaped.”

Long was slightly stunned. “Why are there so many beasts in the mountains? It’s a bit strange.”

“I also find it a little strange. The three of us stayed there and checked for a long time, but didn’t find anything. There may be something in the forest that attracts beasts. Those animals may have come from other places. You also know that there are many trees deep in the mountains and some beasts may have gone there.”

The frown on Long’s face became deeper. “If you didn’t go there today, we would never know that there are so many beasts in the woods over there. There were not so many animals in that area in the past.”

“Right.” s.h.i.+ nodded. “It’s hard to say whether there is anything fishy, but I have left three Shadow Guardians there to continue investigating.”

“Why did you go there?” Long asked.

s.h.i.+ said, “Because of some herbs… Are you sure you’ll continue asking? I’m starving and I want to take a shower first. I’m so dirty.”

Hearing that, Long glared at s.h.i.+. “You also know that you’re dirty? How dare you come back like this? You deserve it! Who asked you to go there?”

s.h.i.+ knew that Long was angry, so he touched his nose and said, “Alright, I didn’t expect it, either.”

He didn’t know that he would be attacked by beasts in the mountains…

Seeing that s.h.i.+ looked so miserable, Long stopped saying anything and went to the hot spring with him.

“You’ll also wash at this hour?” s.h.i.+ raised his eyebrows and asked.

Long said coldly, “What’s wrong? Do you think there is any problem?”

s.h.i.+ blinked and said immediately, “No, of course it’s okay!”

Long snorted and took off his own clothes.

Although he was very dissatisfied, Long was very gentle and careful when he bathed s.h.i.+.

He avoided s.h.i.+’s injured arm… and carefully washed other places.

Affection showed in s.h.i.+’s eyes. He felt that Long… looked extraordinarily attractive when doing that, which deeply touched him.

However, in Long’s eyes, s.h.i.+ was very charming at this moment. If he wasn’t injured, Long would have already jumped to him instead of restraining himself…

After s.h.i.+’s body was finally washed clean, Long was already in a sweat. He felt s.h.i.+ was too attractive, so he needed to try his best to control his desires.

After stepping out of the bathing pool, Long put on his own clothes first and then dressed s.h.i.+ before applying the medicine to the wound.

It actually would hurt a lot when the top-quality medicine was sprinkled on the wound, but s.h.i.+ didn’t seem to feel any pain at all. It could be seen that s.h.i.+ could endure much more pain than Long.

In the end, Long couldn’t help but ask, “Doesn’t it hurt?”

s.h.i.+ smiled upon hearing that. “No, it doesn’t. It’s just a minor injury.”

Long’s face darkened. “Right, you’re something else. You wouldn’t feel pain even if it hurts a lot.”

s.h.i.+ blinked. “Don’t think too much. I didn’t say you are afraid of pain.”

Those words angered Long more. “s.h.i.+ Qingzhou!”

s.h.i.+ said innocently at once, “Well, I’m hungry.”

“I’ll be happy if you starve to death!” Long said angrily.

s.h.i.+ raised his eyebrows. “Will you really be happy?”

Long sneered. “Of course I’ll be happy! Anyway, you are not afraid of pain!”

The corners of s.h.i.+’s lips twitched. He felt that Long… was really like a mentally r.e.t.a.r.ded man at this moment!

Of course, that couldn’t be said.

Therefore, when Long walked towards the restaurant, s.h.i.+ hurriedly followed him.

“Long Xiaoyuan, listen, I’m afraid of pain, not you, okay?”

Long suddenly stopped and s.h.i.+ almost b.u.mped into him! “What did you say?”

s.h.i.+ touched his nose, wondering what he said wrong.

Long said in anger, “Do you think I will be happy if you say this?”

“Why are you unhappy?” s.h.i.+ pretended to be puzzled. Of course he knew that he… had hurt Long’s pride, but it really was no big deal!

Long sneered. “Forget it. I’m broadminded. I won’t argue with you about this. You’re hungry, aren’t you? Hurry up and go to eat something. If you really starve to death, you’ll become a laughing stock.”

s.h.i.+ couldn’t help but smile. “Yes. I’m coming.”

s.h.i.+ had been out for a whole day and didn’t eat well, so he was really hungry.

Long felt a little sorry when he saw s.h.i.+ gorging himself. “Eat slowly.”

s.h.i.+ looked at him and shook his head. “It’s okay.”

Long quickly ladled out some soup for him. “Drink some soup.”

s.h.i.+ nodded. “Okay.”

s.h.i.+ ate a lot for dinner. Long worried that he would be stuffed and feel bad.

Fortunately, s.h.i.+ felt very good.

Since s.h.i.+ had eaten so much, Long would naturally not take him back to the bedroom so early.

So, he took s.h.i.+’s hand and went for a walk in the imperial garden.

Two imperial concubines had gone missing. After knowing that the emperor has changed drastically, other concubines would not be so stupid to go out to meet the emperor.

They all tended to stay in their own palace.

Therefore, Long and s.h.i.+ didn’t encounter anyone while walking in the imperial garden. It was tranquil, bringing them peace of mind.

However, after a quarter of an hour, Ying Feng went there.

“Your Majesty, here’s a letter from Mr. Xu You.”

Xu You? Long raised his eyebrows and quickly took the letter. After reading it… he frowned.

s.h.i.+ looked at him. “What happened?”

Long gave the letter to s.h.i.+, letting him read it by himself.

s.h.i.+ also raised his eyebrows after reading it. “Two Tianxiangzi… The att.i.tude of the royal family of Eastern Darkness is also very ambiguous…”

“Well, I have no idea what their emperor is thinking about…”
