Chapter 200 : The Hallmaster Wants to Get Married Off 16 (1/2)

Shi Sheng relocated to a more peaceful location. Bu Jingyun was surprisingly docile, to the point that Shi Sheng was beginning to suspect he’d been replaced by someone else. ‘If this isn’t a double, why else would he not have caused a ruckus by now?’

“The antidote.” Shi Sheng placed a pill in front of him. “This is only good for a month, so don’t even think about escaping.”

Bu Jingyun harrumphed before swallowing the pill.

‘I’ll be damned, this fellow’s such a tsun…’

“How long are you planning to… keep me?”

Once he’d taken the antidote, Bu Jingyun suddenly questioned her.

Shi Sheng didn’t even lift her head as she replied in a light voice, “A lifetime.”

‘“A lifetime.”’

Those words seemed to hit Bu Jingyun right in the heart, causing something seemed to sprout.

He pursed his lips, his ears turning a faint pink. Only after a while did he spit out, “Shameless.”

“Hey, how am I shameless?” Shi Sheng suddenly lifted her head. Supporting her weight against the table with both hands, she leaned towards him. “I haven’t even done anything to you! Be reasonable!”

Bu Jingyun seemed to have been startled, for he lost his balance and fell off the stool he was sitting on. In that moment, his eyes turned dark.

He swiftly lowered his head and suppressed the pain that was surging throughout his body. His voice was barely audible through gritted teeth, “Get out.”

Shi Sheng had just been about to help him up, but upon hearing his words, her hand froze in mid-air before she retracted it.

She then quickly left the room without turning back, shutting the door behind her.

Only when Bu Jingyun heard the sound of the door closing did he slowly raise his head to reveal a pair of terrifying red eyes that would cause cold sweat to form and the scalp to tingle.

She’d left.

But for reasons unknown, he felt some disappointment.

Bu Jingyun bore with the waves of pain wracking his body. Right when he felt like he couldn’t hold on any longer, someone supported him from behind.

A lukewarm liquid was then poured into his mouth, which continued travelling down his throat. The liquid had a taste that made his stomach recoil, nearly causing him to vomit.

But in the next moment, he felt a cool liquid flow down his throat, bringing forth a vaguely sweet and refreshing taste.

After Shi Sheng had helped Bu Jingyun drink some water, she carried him to the bed. While she was placing him down on the bed, two Nine Silences Hall disciples were standing behind her. One of them was holding a bowl of red liquid.

Bang!

The Sentinel charged in from outside, nearly breaking down the door by slamming it open. “Hallmaster!”

“Don’t come over!” Shi Sheng frowned as she scolded him, causing him to grind to a screeching halt.

He ground his teeth and glared at Shi Sheng. “Just what do you want?!”

‘This woman is really too hateful! Why does Hallmaster still…’

Shi Sheng simply covered Bu Jingyun with a blanket. Instead of answering, she countered with a question of her own, “What’s up with him?”

Sentinel glared at Shi Sheng, “I don’t see how it’s any of your business, Miss Shen!”

Shi Sheng lifted her head to glance at him before her sword appeared out of thin air in her hands, which she pointed at Bu Jingyun. “His life and death depends on your answer.”

Sentinel, “…”

‘What’s with that tendency of resorting to violence at the slightest disagreement?!’

The Sentinel honestly didn’t believe that Shi Sheng would actually hurt Bu Jingyun. After all, she’d taken such good care of him these past few days. Even so, he couldn’t gamble on the off chance he was wrong.

After all, he still hadn’t gotten a good grasp of her character. Who knew whether she’d make a move on their Hallmaster in the next moment?

The Sentinel caved in to Shi Sheng’s threat.

“Hallmaster has a curse on him. He’ll suffer relapses at random intervals. When this happens, he needs to drink a woman’s fresh blood to mitigate the symptoms.”
