Chapter 66 Do You Want to Eat Me?

After resting, the group walked to Xiangyang in one go. The third prince arrived earlier than Si Yan and went to meet them when they arrived.

"How was the journey?" Zhao Qingxun asked, looking at Si Yan who looked exhausted.

Si Yan said in a steady voice: "We were attacked by a group of people."

Zhao Qingxun was not surprised, and shared his feelings after arriving in Xiangyang with Si Yan: "This place is also very interesting, especially the county magistrate. You can take a look later."

As they were talking, Shen Ning in the carriage got impatient and got off to look for someone. She ignored other people's eyes and went straight into Si Yan's arms. She rubbed her eyes and looked at him, muttering, "Sleepy~"

Si Yan had no choice but to touch her face and coax her: "Be good, it will be fine in a while."

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that something was not right with Shen Ning. Zhao Qingxun was naturally no fool. He looked at Shen Ning carefully, then gave Si Yan a look and asked silently.

Si Yan didn't explain in detail, only saying, "Something happened on the way. Also, there is some medicine powder on her clothes. I need to find someone I trust to take a look."

Zhao Qingxun understood and came to a conclusion: "It might be related to those crazy people in the rumors."

Si Yan did not comment.

After the two finished their conversation, Zhao Qingxun took a step closer, looked at Shen Ning, and said in a clear voice: "Miss Shen, do you still remember who I am?"

Shen Ning glanced at him timidly, and hid behind Si Yan. Zhao Qingxun tried to introduce himself: "I am..."

For some reason, Si Yan suddenly thought of what he said when he found Shen Ning that day in order to take her away. Sometimes he would wonder if she would have gone with someone else if he had not been the first one to find her that day.

So, Si Yan did something that he himself didn't even realize. He distanced Shen Ning from Zhao Qingxun and said seriously, "No need to tell her. She can't remember it now. Okay, I'll take her to rest first."

Zhao Qingxun was stunned, then felt that it made sense, so he let them go.

After leaving, Shen Ning quietly looked back at Zhao Qingxun, and seeing that he was also looking at him, he became curious and turned to ask Si Yan: "He..."

Si Yan took Shen Ning's hand without looking back and said firmly: "He is not important, just follow me."

Shen Ning seemed to understand, but didn't dwell on it too much. His attention was soon attracted by the surrounding scenery.

The pond was shaded by green trees, and today's weather was good. Shen Ning, who was used to the wilderness, felt very refreshed. However, her behavior was like that of a child, which naturally attracted a lot of attention and caused many people to whisper.

After returning to the courtyard prepared for them by the county magistrate, Shen Ning lost his previous excitement and sat down on the bed dejectedly.

Even a babbling baby can feel the emotional changes of people around him, let alone her.

Thinking of the looks of those people just now, and the words of the workers next to her in the teahouse that day, Shen Ning couldn't help but wonder: "Husband, why did they say I was a little fool? Are they scolding me?"

Si Yan paused while packing his things. He turned to see Shen Ning pouting her lips, looking unhappy. He walked over and sat next to her. He kissed her pouting red lips with ease and said in a calm tone, "I was praising your innocence and loveliness."

When he kissed her, Shen Ning immediately forgot her previous depression. She stared at Si Yan's lips, recalling the tingling feeling as if she had been scalded by boiling water. She raised her hand and touched the place he had touched just now. With a silly expression, she asked in a daze, "What is this?"

Si Yan explained succinctly: "Kissing you, this is something that only husband and wife can do."

Shen Ning nodded thoughtfully after hearing this. After he figured it out, his eyes suddenly became bright and he said excitedly, "It's fun. I want to try it again."

As she spoke, she had already climbed onto Si Yan's legs, knelt on them, touched Si Yan's chin, and slowly moved closer to his face, eager to try, but she seemed not to know how to start.

Seeing her confused expression, Si Yan suddenly felt guilty. Logically speaking, he should stop there, but just when he hesitated for a few seconds and saw Shen Ning climbing onto his shoulders, at that moment, the bad nature of men prevailed.

Si Yan held Shen Ning's waist with one hand and pressed the back of her neck with the other hand. His eyes were burning and his voice was hoarse: "I'll teach you." After that, he straightened his waist and tilted his head to kiss her.

As time passed, Shen Ning's fingers gripping Si Yan's shoulders gradually tightened, and she found that things seemed different from what she thought.

Si Yan didn't let her go until she whimpered and begged for mercy.

Shen Ning stared at Si Yan with dissatisfaction, her eyes were red and a layer of moisture filled her big round eyes. She licked her dry lips aggrievedly and said aggrievedly: "Husband, do you want to eat me?"

There were undercurrents in Si Yan's eyes, his Adam's apple rolled twice, and he suddenly hugged Shen Ning into his arms.

On the other side, the powder on Shen Ning's clothes produced results.

"It's a mandala. It can cause hallucinations and even mental disorders in severe cases." Zhao Qingxun unfolded the letter and showed it to Si Yan.

After reading it, Si Yan said in a cold voice: "Using such inferior means to drive a bunch of people crazy and create public opinion, what on earth do they want to do?"

Zhao Qingxun fell into deep thought: "Xiangyang is a small city. It has always been peaceful before. It just happened to be at this time. I'm afraid it's coming for us."

Before the two of them could come to a conclusion, they heard someone outside hurriedly reporting, "Oh no! Someone in the team is possessed by evil spirits."

Si Yan and Zhao Qingxun looked at each other and walked out together.

The development of events was more and more in line with the two's guesses. They first created public opinion and exaggerated the local rumors of hauntings and possession, and then waited for the strange phenomena to spread to Si Yan and the third prince's team. Who knows if they would be the next two.

If something happened to these two people in Xiangyang, could they also blame it on the rumors of ghosts?

It seems that someone doesn't want them to return to the capital alive. As for who that person is, it is not difficult to guess.

Zhao Qingxun said to Si Yan, "The county magistrate said he will host a banquet tonight to welcome us. Do you want to go?"

Si Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, and Liang Jinjin said, "Go, why not go."

Whether it's an enemy or a friend, we have to meet each other.

Although Si Yan felt that they would not dare to make any changes to tonight's dinner, he still wanted Shen Ning to stay at home to be on the safe side.

Ling Feng volunteered to stay and look after Shen Ning to make amends. Si Yan was worried and asked Ling Xiao to stay with him in case of emergency.

Although Si Yan had explained the situation to Shen Ning, Shen Ning could not understand. Ever since the accident, Si Yan had been taking care of her and even did not allow her to contact other people.

Shen Ning didn't want to be left behind, so she hugged Si Yan and refused to let go. Si Yan had no other choice but to scare her with a stern face: "Be obedient!"

Shen Ning had never heard Si Yan speak to her in such a fierce tone before. She was so scared that she let go of him and put her hands behind her back.

Before leaving, Si Yan got ready and walked to the center of the yard. He suddenly turned around and saw Shen Ning squatting at the door, hugging his knees with his arms, his chin resting on them, his red lips tightly pursed, as if he was trying hard to hold back the emotions that were about to explode.

Seeing Si Yan looking at her, Shen Ning blinked, two tears fell, the tip of her red nose twitched, and she turned her head away without saying a word.

Si Yan felt a sour and bitter feeling in his heart. He looked up to the sky and sighed. The next second, he took a step with his long legs and walked back resigned to his fate.

When he reached Shen Ning, Si Yan pulled Shen Ning's ear with his hanging hand, chuckled, and said in a flattering tone: "Don't be angry, I'll take you there."

Is anyone really reading this? Readers nowadays are so silent. When I’m stuck on writing, I look at what others have written and it seems like I’ve found the reason. How can they come up with such interesting ideas and plots? (TT)
