Chapter 205 : The Hallmaster Wants to Get Married Off 21 (1/2)

Xiao He could only stare in confusion as Shi Sheng nodded her head one moment and shook it the next. ‘What’s the matter with Miss?’

Once Shi Sheng finished her porridge, she got Xiao He to help her stand up and walk around.

Bu Jingyun had said he was going to keep her, and he kept his word. Her range of activity was restricted to only her room and the garden outside.

‘Bu Jingyun, just you wait till I’ve recovered!’

It took a full ten days for Shi Sheng to fully recover. The moment she was fully healed, Shi Sheng grabbed her sword and began searching for Bu Jingyun with tremendous aggression.

“Miss, you…” Xiao He was frightened by Shi Sheng’s aggressive manner. ‘Is she planning on killing someone?’

Shi Sheng had quickly rushed out, then rushed back in just as fast. “Where’s your Hallmaster?”

“Hall-Hallmaster is with Sentinel.” Xiao He gave a stuttering answer, her face bright red.

Shi Sheng paused for a second before her expression melted into a gentle one. “Did I scare you?”

“N-No…” Xiao He shook her still red face. ‘The Miss was definitely very scary just now though…’

“Then can you take me to see your Hallmaster?” Shi Sheng’s lips curved at just the right angle to enhance her beauty even more.

As a result, Xiao He blushed deeper. “Y-Yes.”

‘How could Miss Shen be so good-looking?’ Xiao He shyly held onto her little heart as she brought Shi Sheng to where Bu Jingyun stayed.

Upon finding him, Shi Sheng very considerately lead Xiao He to stand at a spot further away.

Xiao He didn’t understand why, but still obediently stood at a distance.

Bu Jingyun had felt the killing intent from miles away and was greeted by the sight of Shi Sheng dragging her sword across the ground the moment he turned to look.

“Shen Yaoguang, what’re you doing?” The Sentinel snapped. ‘This is Nine Silences Hall, not the outside! This isn’t a place she can just act as wild as she likes!’

“Nothing,” Shi Sheng answered with a calm expression.

‘Then what’re you dragging that sword along for? To make music?! Simply outrageous!’

“You leave first.” Bu Jingyun stopped Sentinel.

“Hallmaster?”

“Go.” Bu Jingyun’s expression turned colder.

The Sentinel didn’t dare to say anymore after Bu Jingyun’s warning, so he could only give Shi Sheng a warning glare before retreating to Xiao He’s spot, where he’d be able to keep an eye on what was going on.

“Did you need something?” Bu Jingyun couldn’t help but take the initiative after Shi Sheng had simply stood there in silence for a long while.

“What’re you looking at?” Shi Sheng immediately glared back, but quickly turned her head away soon after. “Thanks for lugging me back before.”

Bu Jingyun, “…”

‘This phrasing is strange… But what’s even stranger is the fact that she’s actually thanking me!

Isn’t she the type of person who’d have the type of expression that said “you lugging me back is your honour, the fortune you’ve gathered over several lifetimes, be grateful”?’

These few days, Shi Sheng had been a bit out-of-sorts. She suspected she’d been struck dumb by that lightning, for now she found Bu Jingyun more pleasing to the eyes than before. Sometimes…

Shi Sheng pursed her lips and finally broke the silence, switching the topic in the process, “What’s the situation like outside?”

Bu Jingyun looked at her doubtfully. Only after making sure there wasn’t anything off about her did he speak, “The Shen Clan was nearly exterminated, but you’re now wanted by quite a few people. There isn’t a single safe place left for you in the Nine Provinces.”

Shi Sheng’s lip curled as she clicked her tongue in a somewhat regretful fashion, “There were actually survivors.”

‘Even after explosions of that magnitude, a few Shen Clan members somehow still survived…’

She suddenly turned around and gave him a brilliant smile. “Bu Jingyun, I’ll use the entire Nine Provinces as dowry, so how about you marry me?”

“No,” Bu Jingyun firmly rejected her without second thought. ‘Since when were women supposed to do these kinds of things? Hmph!’

“Hey, how come you’re being so unreasonable? Haven’t you always wanted to conquer the Nine Provinces? I thought…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Bu Jingyun turned to leave in a huff.

Shi Sheng dragged her sword behind her as she chased after him. “Bu Jingyun, don’t force me to use violence! Come on, marrying me won’t kill you! Even if you have feelings for your Sentinel, I won’t stop you— Ow! Fuck, why’d you just stop…”
