【Idiot donkey!】
Jun Wuyuan cast a disdainful glance and steadied Ling Shan, who had tilted to one side in surprise.
Following Ling Shan's line of sight, Jun Wuyuan also shifted his gaze from Jun Wuhan's pathetic state and stopped on one of the black - clothed men below.
Ling Shan's almond - shaped eyes narrowed slightly. The look of shock in her eyes gradually faded, replaced by a thoughtful expression.
This black - clothed person still covered their face tightly. It was not hard to guess that this was the same person from the cave before.
Ling Shan hadn't noticed anything amiss before, but now it was clear that this person was a woman!
Especially the small, unconscious gestures of her hands. They all made Ling Shan feel a strange sense of familiarity.
So familiar that the image of a person immediately popped into Ling Shan's mind.
However, she didn't want to believe it.
How could it be possible?
Ling Shan just couldn't believe that this black - clothed person in front of her could be the cold and elegant woman in her memory, like a fairy from the Moon Palace.
【It's not her!】
Ling Shan's somewhat muddled mind was suddenly jolted awake by this voice. She couldn't help but look at Jun Wuyuan, who had furrowed his brows.
A ripple passed through her heart, but now was not the time to dwell on those things.
Ling Shan's eyes once again turned to the black - clothed person below. Scenes from the past and moments in the cave kept replaying in her mind.
Her almond - shaped eyes instantly turned cold, and a chilling aura emanated from her body.
No.
How could this person be Shi Wei?
Ling Shan felt guilty for the momentary wavering in her heart.
But why did this black - clothed person show some small gestures that only Shi Wei had?
Was it just a coincidence?
Or was this black - clothed woman deliberately imitating?
If so, what was her purpose for imitating Shi Wei...
Had she discovered them?
Ling Shan's pupils constricted violently, and she instinctively grabbed Jun Wuyuan's arm.
【A presumptuous wretch...】
"Don't worry. We're safe for now. Look at that idiot donkey Jun Wuhan's pathetic state," Jun Wuyuan whispered into Ling Shan's ear.
【He's really managed to get himself killed while being a fool. It's so satisfying to see him die like this.】
He had managed to get himself killed all by himself. There was no need for Jun Wuyuan to lift a finger. How could this not be a cause for celebration?
Ling Shan rolled her eyes silently.
Unless they revealed themselves now and caught the black - clothed person, it would be really hard to confirm her identity.
However, judging from the current situation, this black - clothed person was just a pawn. It was uncertain whether they could dig out the person behind her.
Acting now would be meaningless. They couldn't get any useful evidence from a group of dead - end fighters.
Down at Wild Boar Ridge, Jun Wuhan lay in a pool of blood in a mud pit.
The black - clothed dead - end fighters began to disperse, forging the scene. The black - clothed person waved her hand and scattered some powder.
This time, real wild boars roared and charged out.
"Your Majesty, the Prince of Qi is going to be devoured by the wild boars. His body will be in a terrible state after death. Shouldn't we do something?"
The noble Prince of the Great Yan Dynasty was going to be eaten by wild boars at Wild Boar Ridge during the summer hunting. Losing limbs...
Just imagining it, Ling Shan thought that this would be big news that would shock everyone, even in ancient times.
After all, he was a prince of the Great Yan royal family. Dying in such a glorious yet sensational way was just too eye - catching.
"What should we do?"
Jun Wuyuan put his arm around Ling Shan and gently bit her earlobe. "Look at this Wild Boar Ridge. It's a beautiful and auspicious place. Didn't Jun Wuhan choose this place himself?
He was lame but still restless, colluding with ambitious people. This end is what he deserves. Why should you care, Shan Shan?"
【I'm still standing here alive, yet Shan Shan still has the heart to look at that ugly and stupid old man Jun Wuhan! (Angry)】
Ling Shan: "..."
Come on, did he have to compare like this?
Moreover, the Prince of Qi was only in his thirties. How could he be the ugly and old man that Jun Wuyuan described?
Jun Wuyuan was really being petty.
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? I'm just worried that the Prince of Qi's death like this might implicate you," Ling Shan said aggrievedly, looking at Jun Wuyuan with her watery almond - shaped eyes that showed a hint of fragility, like a little kitten about to be abandoned.
Jun Wuyuan's heart softened immediately. He quickly realized that he had been unreasonable.
"No, you don't know. If it weren't for the fact that it's not appropriate to publicize it, I would have given him a grand send - off. After all, we have the same father and share half of the same blood. He probably wouldn't want that either, right?"
【If Jun Wuhan could stand up now and say that he wanted a grand burial, as the great emperor of the Great Yan, I wouldn't be so stingy.】
Ling Shan: "..."
Come on, with this attitude of yours, who wouldn't give you a thumbs - up and praise you for being 'the most generous person in the world'!
"Xu Shanshan, what kind of look is that?"
Perhaps Ling Shan's skeptical look was too obvious, which made Jun Wuyuan look at her discontentedly.
In his peach - blossom eyes, it was clearly written that 'if you don't explain well, I'm going to throw a tantrum'.
Ling Shan was really speechless.
She rolled her eyes silently in her heart but looked at Jun Wuyuan with extreme grievance on her face.
What? Did she have to comfort him now?
Jun Wuyuan's finger paused, and he suddenly felt a bit panicked.
What was going on?
Shan Shan wasn't comforting him anymore?
Did she not cherish him now that she had him?
Or was he really being too excessive?
Ling Shan's eyes lit up. She almost couldn't help but nod.
Don't you know what kind of person you are?
"Shan Shan, have I ever told you that your eyes are so black, round, and bright? They're so beautiful," Jun Wuyuan said.
【If I comfort her like this, Shan Shan should stop feeling wronged, right?】
Ling Shan: "..."
She knew her eyes were beautiful.
However, this could make Jun Wuyuan realize that from now on, the status between them should change.
Otherwise, the plan to win his heart would be hard to continue.
If one day Jun Wuyuan knew her true self and still chose to stand by her side firmly and unwaveringly.
Only then would Ling Shan really be willing to take that step and open her heart.
After all, as the saying goes, when a man is infatuated, he can still get out. When a woman is infatuated, it's hard to extricate herself.
Jun Wuyuan was no ordinary person.
He was the emperor of the Great Yan, the most powerful man in the world. Not to mention in the future, even now, he could have countless beautiful women even if he didn't like them.
It was undeniable that as an emperor, Jun Wuyuan had done a good job.
Ling Shan's heart wasn't untouched, but she knew clearly that she couldn't sink into this so easily.
At least, now was not a good time.
If she wanted to completely control Jun Wuyuan, it wasn't by beauty or temporary novelty.
This was a long - term battle.
