Chapter 67 – Harvesting Diyang grass The Evil Prince and his Precious Wife The Sly Lady (1/2)

A breeze blew, bringing Ouyang Shaochen’s calm voice to all ears, “The peak has a lot of Diyang grass. Have you prepared your storage to store them all?”

“Don’t worry, I have long prepared my storage. Moreover, I have displaced many guards around it. Even if some villains were to breach the palace, they wouldn’t be able to destroy them……” Murong Xue smiled.

It didn’t matter if they had destroyed the Diyang grass, there was enough in Yu Mountain right now and even if he tried, Ye Yichen would never be able to destroy them completely. With Zhen Manor’s relations and wealth, she could find enough to prolong her life. It was not a problem.

Ye Yichen’s face turned dark. It was he who sent people to breach her palace and annihilate the fire lotus seeds. The ‘villains’ that she mentioned was secretly referring to him!

It had been many days since the incident. She was unhurt and alive. How could she still hate him?

Gazing at Murong Xue, she had reached the base and was looking at the peak.

Frowning, she said, “This peak is so high up and the road leading to it is very steep. If we follow it, will we not slip?”

To call it a road was honouring it. It was actually just a lightly-treaded pathway which was very narrow and smooth. There weren’t any branches or roots to hold onto. If one accidentally slipped on the way up, there would be nothing to hold onto, one would simply plunge all the way down ……

Looking at her worried face, Ouyang ShaoChen’s eyes held a tinge of humour, “Don’t worry, we won’t be walking up.”

“If not,” Murong Xue jolted, “then how would we get up there?”

Ouyang ShaoChen smirked and scooped her up in a one swoop, his white robe flapping as he did so. Murong Xue was stunned!

Murong Xue was held in his arms. Her light green dress robe flapped elegantly and her long, black hair swayed with the wind. The scene was complemented with the graceful fluttering of Ouyang ShaoChen’s white robe. It was a charming sight to behold!

Ye Yi Chen’s face turned livid. His gaze was fixed onto Ouyang ShaoChen and Murong Xue who was quickly disappearing. As he did so, his aura turned murderous. It left Ah Yi trembling and his eyelids jumping. Ah Yi’s eye caught sight of the corner of a purple robe and with an anxious voice he said, “Prince Jing, Princess Qin is getting worse!”

Ye Yichen jolted back to his senses. Looking back, he saw Qin Yuyuan’s face had flushed red and her breathing turned rapid. Underneath her thin clothes, he could sense her body temperature raising.

Qin Yuyuan’s sickness was indeed getting more serious. He couldn’t delay any longer. This time, he shall spare Ouyang ShaoChen. He could always come back to get even with him

Holding Qin Yuyuan tightly, Ye Yichen turned to take big steps. Without looking back, he issued his command, “Exit the mountain!”

Halfway up the peak, Ouyang ShaoChen glanced at him. He smirked.

Not long after that, he had reached the peak.

Murong Xue’s eyes swept nervously from side to side. She rolled out of his arms and tumbled on the ground. The ground she landed on was a golden landscape. Countless Diyang grass basked in the sun, swaying as the wind blew.

There were so many. She might not even be able to finish it in her lifetime. Even if her attacks came more often, she wouldn’t need to worry.

Murong Xue pulled out her dagger. Normally, herbs were harvested using specialised tools but she only had her dagger and nothing else. It was her only option.

Ouyang ShaoChen looked at her dagger and frowned, “There are at least a few thousand of them here. You wouldn’t be able to finish harvesting them even if you had 3 days!”

“Then what should I do?” Murong Xue looked at him.

Ouyang ShaoChen’s eyes filled with scorn: There was much simpler way and yet she couldn’t think of it! What an idiot!
