Bonus chapter 398! Happy Lunar New Year's Eve!
After Shen Qiuluo walked away, Jiang Hanying withdrew her gaze.

With Shen Youqing's permission, she took his arm and walked towards their residence.

"Second sister-in-law, you look like you have a lot on your mind."

Shen Youqing turned his head to look at Jiang Hanying, and seeing the pure worry in her eyes, he remained silent for a moment before saying, "You should have heard about me and my fifth senior brother."

Jiang Hanying nodded.

Looking at Shen Youqing's indifferent and calm expression, Jiang Hanying was somewhat surprised.

He seems cold-blooded and ruthless, but I never expected him to be troubled by love.

How well did that xiao carver work to make Shen Youqing so unforgettable?
“His feelings for me are somewhat unhealthy,” Shen Youqing said frankly and directly. Fearing that Jiang Hanying might not understand, she gave an example, “It’s similar to how you feel about Jiang Xuan’an.”

Jiang Hanying blinked, her pink lips involuntarily pursing slightly.

“Jun Su’s desire to kill him has my reasons.” Shen Youqing looked up at the sky; the sun had not yet risen, and the sky was somewhat hazy.

"Didn't the Demon Lord want to kill him because he's a World Spirit?" Jiang Hanying could sense the somber aura surrounding Shen Youqing. "Don't take the blame upon yourself."

"Both reasons are valid," Shen Youqing said.

Jiang Hanying pursed her lips and gently patted Shen Youqing's arm, offering silent comfort.

“Everyone says it’s not my fault, but…” Shen Youqing sighed softly, “I could only watch him die in my arms, and I can’t help but blame myself.”

Jiang Hanying's eyes were almost overflowing with heartache.

This knot in my heart can never be untied.

Put yourself in her shoes. Suppose her brother were to die because of her one day, what would she do? But she still has her father, and she can't even commit suicide for love.

Thinking of this, Jiang Hanying felt even more sorry for Shen Youqing.

Shen Youqing walked slowly, saying, "I can't even take revenge."

"Senior Sister Youqing, you're already amazing." Jiang Hanying leaned closer and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "In my heart, you're a role model!"

Shen Youqing looked at Jiang Hanying's serious expression and a slight twitch appeared on his lips.

Back at his residence, Yue Xunzhu stood with his hands behind his back in the courtyard, seemingly waiting for Shen Youqing.

Seeing Shen Youqing return, Yue Xunzhu's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, settled down, and she said gently, "Jinjin."

"Brother," Shen Youqing called out.

Jiang Hanying released Shen Youqing's arm. "Second Brother."

"Go wash up first, then I'll comb your hair," Yue Xunzhu said.

Shen Youqing nodded and went back to his room to wash up.

Jiang Hanying blinked when she heard this.

This...this is too easy for people to misunderstand, isn't it?
Not long after, Shen Youqing, who had changed into a light blue dress, came out with her long hair loose.

After Shen Youqing sat down on the stool, Yue Xunzhu went up and took a comb to comb her hair.

"Come and sit down," Shen Youqing said to Jiang Hanying.

After Jiang Hanying sat down, Shen Youqing said, "I can't learn how to tie my hair up."

Jiang Hanying understood in an instant.

Since I don't know how, I can only ask Yue Xunzhu to do it for me.

It's outrageous, but also reasonable.

Jiang Hanying looked at Yue Xunzhu's skillful hair tying up, and her thoughts stirred slightly.

How about letting my brother try it too?

Forget it, she put a lot of effort into growing that silky long hair.

Flower Hall.

"The arrival time of the City Lord of Qingmeng City has been set, three days from now." Jiang Chenying finished speaking and lowered his head to drink his porridge.

Wei Ningguang picked up a yam cake with her chopsticks.

"Does that mean my death is coming soon?" Jiang Hanying's teasing voice rang out.

Jiang Xuan'an shook his head. "You'll be fine."

With him around, no one can hurt Yingying.

Upon first meeting Yan, she was too lazy to look at her close junior brothers and sisters, so she put a piece of chestnut cake on Shen Youqing's plate.

“I will be stationed at the military camp from now on,” Shen Quelin and Shen Youqing said. “Don’t worry.”

Shen Youqing nodded, then looked at Wei Ningguang and said, "Can I go to a temple to pray for blessings and cultivate myself in seclusion?"

?

Jiang Chenying and Wei Ningguang both looked up. "Putting aside how dangerous it would be for you, with your sickly body, this is not feasible," Wei Ningguang said worriedly.

Jiang Chenying said coldly, "Running away won't solve the problem."

Isn't he just the Demon Lord?

The rules of the secret realm are set in stone; they are no different from ordinary people now, so just kill them!
"..." Shen Youqing silently lowered his head and ate his food.

She wasn't running away; since last night, the frequency of the hallucinations had been terrifyingly high.

Over time, it may become difficult for people to distinguish between reality and illusion.

She left to avoid them because she didn't want to frighten them.

"Jinjin, what happened?" Yue Xunzhu asked gently.

If we're talking about people who really understand Shen Youqing, Yue Xunzhu is definitely one of them!
"An illusion." Shen Youqing no longer tried to hide it.

Yue Xunzhu frowned.

Why did this illusion suddenly appear out of nowhere? Was it because of the Chaos Pearl?

Indeed, Shen Quelin and Yue Xunzhu had the same idea.

"You didn't sleep all night because of the hallucinations?" Jiang Chenying reacted quickly, putting down his spoon to look at him. "Is it serious?"

"I'm fine for now." Shen Youqing took a sip of hot water.

Jiang Chenying said no more. He planned to take some time to investigate the illusion and see if there was a solution.

After breakfast, the group dispersed.

With nothing to do, Shen Youqing returned to his residence to catch up on sleep.

Since Jun Su was coming to visit, Jiang Chenying and the others naturally had to make arrangements in advance.

Perhaps because of the illusion, Shen Youqing rarely went out. Apart from going to the flower hall for three meals a day, he spent the rest of his time either in the courtyard or sleeping.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

On the day of the welcoming banquet, Shen Youqing stayed at home without leaving the house.

into the night.

Yue Ruoshui and Jiang Hanying came together, and when they arrived at the courtyard gate, they saw Shen Youqing sitting at the stone table in the courtyard.

They only realized that Shen Youqing was lost in thought when they got closer.

"Jinjin?" Yue Ruoshui lowered her voice.

Shen Youqing snapped out of her daze and looked up to see Yue Ruoshui and Jiang Hanying at the table. She blinked and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I brought you some good food." Yue Ruoshui waved her hand, and the maid behind her came over carrying two food boxes.

A maidservant who had been waiting nearby brought over a lamp.

Jiang Hanying sat to one side, "I've seen the person, truly worthy of being..."

Because there were maids present, Jiang Hanying did not make it explicit, but her expression conveyed it.

After the food was laid out, Yue Ruoshui waved her hand, signaling the maids to leave.

"Difficult to deal with?" After saying that, Shen Youqing picked up the bird's nest porridge and took a bite.

Yue Ruoshui sat down and said, "More than just troublesome, it's downright..."

Looking at Yue Ruoshui, who wanted to curse but didn't know how, Shen Youqing said without looking up, "Like a ghost?"

"Isn't that right?" Yue Ruoshui shivered. "He just wanted you right away."

Shen Youqing was not surprised at all.

"I think he's determined to have your second sister-in-law." Jiang Hanying looked at Shen Youqing with worry in her eyes. "You can't hide forever."

“He must have used some methods to enter the secret realm.” Shen Youqing put down his bowl, picked up his chopsticks to eat some food, and said, “He most likely chose to be resurrected from the dead.”

Jiang Hanying and Yue Ruoshui didn't follow Shen Youqing's thoughts.

While eating, Shen Youqing said, "The secret realm has a time limit. We don't know how old Jun Su was after he died, but he was very young when he was alive."

Jiang Hanying suddenly realized.

“Jun Su was a sickly man in his lifetime, and if I’m not mistaken, he’s in poor health now.” Shen Youqing finished speaking and looked up at Yue Ruoshui and Jiang Hanying.

Yue Ruoshui nodded.

Jiang Hanying's gaze towards Shen Youqing brightened.

That calm and rational demeanor, with everything under control, is simply too captivating!

Happy Lunar New Year's Eve, babies! [Sending love]
