Chapter 230 Your Highness, Spare Me! I Was Wrong

Fu Sheng, who had been following the Shan family army all the way, froze, a blush appearing on his usually cold and indifferent face.

My elder brother has gone too far!

I recited the Heart-Cleansing Mantra several times to suppress the surging desires in my heart.

Dan Baiyu tightened the reins and asked, "Holy Son, how is it?"

Fusheng casually glanced at the markings on the tree.

"Yes, this is the road."

After a moment of silence, he suddenly spoke, "Just call Fusheng."

If he were to leave the monastic life, he would no longer be a monk; he would be deeply entangled in the secular world and unable to extricate himself.

Dan Baiyu paused for a moment, then readily agreed, "Young Master Fu, please."

The wind chimes in the room tinkled, the purple gauze floated and swayed, and the blue smoke in the incense burner had turned into white ash at some point.

Beneath the sheer veil, the two embraced tightly, Shi Nuanyu listening quietly to the gentle whispers in her ear.

It turns out that when she was poisoned by the "Fleeting Life Like a Dream" poison, Qinghe also went into her dream and saw the deepest desires in her soul.

"Aren't you afraid?"

Aren't he afraid that a strange soul has come to their side?

Sensing her unease, Qinghe intertwined his fingers with hers.

"Don't overthink it. On the day of the punishment, Nuannuan proved with her actions that you are different from her. If she were afraid, she wouldn't have fallen in love with you."

Knowing that she was a thoughtful person, he slowly recounted what he had read in ancient books.

"When I realized that Nuannuan was different, I searched through ancient books and found a similar story of soul swapping. A soul from another world crossed the vast starry sea to come here."
It was fate's arrangement; fate brought us together, and that fate itself would give us a glimmer of hope.

Even if it comes at a huge cost, he will do everything in his power to keep her here.

The art of soul swapping!

Shi Nuanyu hesitated, then swallowed her words when her gaze met his dark eyes.

If she were to ask that person if there was a way to get back, Qinghe would definitely be angry, very angry.

She echoed in disappointment, "I'm not even the first soul swapper, what a failure."

Qinghe stared at her for a long while, the smile in his eyes fading slightly.

"Nuan Nuan, there are some things you shouldn't think about."

After so long, I've even started to think about going back.

"Ah! What did you say?"

Shi Nuanyu blinked innocently, then got up and straddled his lap, coaxing him.

"Alright, my dearest and gentlest Imperial Advisor, please don't be angry anymore."

She only thought about it briefly, since she didn't know how to get back.

That's it, I've decided to stay, so I won't dwell on it anymore.

Qinghe's expression was inscrutable as he noted her every smile and frown, completely unaware that her smile was bright and radiant at that moment.

Perhaps it was because of her romantic affair, but her eyes and brows exuded an irresistible charm.

Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, Shi Nuanyu sighed and leaned close to his ear.

"You're so hard to please, my husband."

The gentle words flowed through his heart, and Qinghe's heart skipped a beat. He restrained himself and pulled her into his arms.

"Say it again."

Shi Nuanyu, however, did not do as he wished, and drew circles on his chest with her fingertips.

"Grand Preceptor, please tell me how you recognized me?"

She was genuinely curious, for the sorcerer had said that this incense could confuse the person who smelled it, making them unable to see the true face of the person in front of them or recognize their voice.

Why was I exposed after only testing him for the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea?
With sincerity in his eyes, Qinghe said, "Qingfeng told me that I must not mistake my lover."

Nuanyu was very dissatisfied with this answer.

"A vague answer, Qinghe, you're cheating."

A hint of mockery flashed in Qinghe's eyes. "One time was fine. Do you really want to know?"

His lustful gaze was fixed on her red lips, the implication obvious.

Shi Nuanyu shook her head in denial, "It's not that I really want to know."

This is the first time I've ever seen a handsome man cheat. Someone else seems much more lively than the first time I saw him; he must be more human.

“But I want Nuan Nuan to know.” Qing He looked towards the corner, and Shi Nuan Yu followed his gaze and saw the burnt-out incense.

"So the incense burned out. Qinghe, you've broken the rules."

They thought it was truly a collision of souls.

Her emotions came and went quickly, and Shi Nuanyu spoke with a smile.

"Since you've told me the truth, I'll tell you a secret too."

Meeting the man's questioning gaze, she said, word by word, "Actually, we're currently inside a storybook, a storybook with a catchy title: 'Three Husbands and Four Attendants Are Not to be Trifled With'..."

Before he could finish speaking, a sudden, muffled clap of thunder sounded, like a death knell, shaking the heavens and the earth.

Shi Nuanyu anxiously grabbed his hand.

"Qinghe, can you hear what I'm saying?"

Qinghe remained calm and reassured her gently, "I am also delighted, don't worry."

The deafening thunder echoed throughout the heavens and earth, but only she heard it.

Hearing his answer, Shi Nuanyu felt a chill run down her spine. Just like that time in the flower sea, they couldn't hear what they were saying, or more accurately, they couldn't hear anything outside the rules.

'Click, click...'

The sound of breaking beams and pillars rang out, and Qinghe's expression changed drastically. He picked her up and rushed out of the house.

The two had barely escaped when the house collapsed mercilessly.

Shi Nuanyu was still in shock when she felt that mysterious force was warning her.

Others who transmigrate are free and unrestrained, but for her, just when things were finally starting to look up, her man was in danger of being controlled by the plot, and trouble after trouble was driving her crazy.

However, based on the three events of Shan Baiyu, Qinghe, and the house collapse, we can conclude that while the events on the timeline cannot be changed, the fate of the characters can be altered.

If this conjecture is correct, there's no need to be so anxious about everything in the future.

"Is Nuan Nuan alright?"

Qinghe looked her up and down, and breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like he had escaped a disaster.

"How could a perfectly good house collapse?"

Shi Nuanyu sighed sadly, "I don't know, maybe someone can't stand our affection."

Upon hearing this, a strange light flashed in Qinghe's eyes, but it quickly returned to normal.

The collapse of the house attracted the attention of the Gu Village people. Their ambiguous gazes shifted between the two, and they covered their mouths and chuckled in tacit agreement.

Shi Nuanyu felt her face flush from being stared at, and whispered something to the man beside her.

"Qinghe, are they talking about us?"

Qinghe, who understood the Northern Frontier dialect, coughed softly and lied as if nothing had happened.

"The people of Gu Village are praising our handsome man and beautiful woman."

"Really?"

Shi Nuanyu was suspicious; something about their gazes was off.

The Poison Witch and Hua Si'an, who rushed to the scene upon hearing the news, stared in astonishment at the collapsed house.

"Greetings to the princess and the imperial advisor."

After the two bowed, the Poison Witch Pei Sha awkwardly praised, "The Imperial Preceptor is brave and invincible, and the Princess is incredibly strong. They are truly warriors of the village."

Princess Nanyue's elaborate scheme was all for the purpose of having sex with the Imperial Preceptor. Even the house couldn't withstand their ravaging. It's said that Princess Nanyue is unconventional, and it's true.

Realizing what they were saying, Shi Nuanyu's face flushed red, and she shouted angrily, ignoring everyone present.

"Qinghe, this is not over between us."

What a perfect match! They clearly think...

At the opportune moment, Hua Si'an handed over a wooden stick, saying, "Princess, please accept this."

Shi Nuanyu took it with ill intent. If you don't discipline someone for a day, they'll be climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles. If you don't discipline them the first time, they'll smash the pot next time.

She raised her chin arrogantly, "Grand Preceptor, do you have anything else to say?"

Qinghe raised his eyebrows and fawned, "Your Highness, spare my life, I was wrong."

He took off running as soon as the last word was uttered.

"Qinghe, you did a great job."

Shi Nuanyu grabbed the wooden stick and chased after him, determined not to be a man until she caught him.

Seeing this, Hua Si'an was secretly excited. "Princess, go and teach that cunning and scheming Grand Tutor a lesson!"
