After sharing a body with her husband

Chapter 33 That was close!

A Buddhist temple, a sacred place, was plotted against by a villain!

【Ati, wake up! Give me your body, Ati!】

Huo Chuan was extremely anxious.

The robust young man was not lewd or ugly; on the contrary, he had a decent appearance. He approached Shang Lingjun step by step, his fists clenching and unclenching repeatedly, as if he were making some kind of decision.

"I'm sorry, Ati, I will take responsibility for you."

He didn't have much time and needed to finish the deed quickly, so he grabbed Shang Lingjun, picked her up, and threw her onto the bed.

Then, quickly unbuckle the belt.

The moment Shang Lingjun was thrown onto the bed, she suddenly opened her eyes, and those originally clear and lively crescent-shaped almond eyes were now filled with a chilling killing intent!

When pilgrims first check into the temple's annex, they are given lucky bags tied to both sides of the bed curtains with red rope.

Huo Chuan decisively grabbed the young man by the neck.

The young man was terrified and struggled desperately, his face turning red from the effort, and he made hoarse noises.

"You...how did you wake up?"

Shang Lingjun wasn't very strong, and the young man struggled fiercely, which gave him the time to speak.

Huo Chuan's eyes suddenly turned cold and fierce. If it were his own body, he would have snapped his neck long ago!

The young man reached out to grab Huo Chuan, but Huo Chuan used the force of his elbow strike to hit his Baihui acupoint. The young man felt pain and a wave of dizziness.

Huo Chuan used the Binding Immortal Rope technique to bind his limbs. This binding technique was created in the army. The more he struggled, the tighter the binding became. His limbs were tied up behind his back, which was very uncomfortable.

To make the bindings more secure, Huo Chuan found the hemp rope he used to tie the boxes and reinforced it again. He then tore off the bed curtains and wrapped them around the man's mouth, leaving him with his mouth wide open but unable to speak.

After doing all this, Huo Chuan pulled up a stool and sat down casually. His gaze swept over the crowd, a hint of murderous intent lurking in his cold, deep eyes.

"You should be glad you're in a temple, otherwise I would definitely take your life."

Killing is prohibited within the premises of a Buddhist temple.

That's the rule.

The young man looked at Shang Lingjun with utter shock. The Shang Lingjun in front of him was completely unfamiliar to him. No, this was definitely not Ati. Ati did not know martial arts at all!

Besides, Ati wouldn't do that to him!

"Who are you?"

He spoke with difficulty, saliva dripping from his mouth and wetting the bed curtains binding his mouth.

Huo Chuan lifted his eyelids and glanced at him, as if looking at a pig or a dog.

"Who sent you?"

The young man did not answer.

"Let me guess, is it the Xiao family, Xiao Jing?" Huo Chuan stared at the young man.

The young man was slightly taken aback, wondering why Shang Lingjun would mention Xiao Jing, wasn't he her brother?

Seeing the young man's unusual expression, Huo Chuan then mentioned another person's name.

"Still the Xie family's third branch?"

The young man was utterly bewildered; he was prepared to die.

"You don't need to guess, even if I die, I will never... tell..."

He spoke with difficulty, each word causing a sharp pain in his mouth.

Huo Chuan frowned slightly. It seemed that the person behind the scenes was extremely careful and did not let this villain know who was in charge.

He picked up the small scissors that Shang Lingjun used, preparing to torture her, when suddenly a commotion broke out outside.

"That man was acting suspiciously, he came this way! I saw him climb into this house with my own eyes!"

"Gentlemen, is this your room? Shh, a shirtless man has entered!"

Outside, the strange peasant woman's shrill and loud voice startled many pilgrims living nearby.

The villas here are all for female pilgrims. Male and female pilgrims have their own separate accommodations, so if a man sneaks into a villa where a female pilgrim is staying, that would be a big deal!

The other households all had maids and servants come out to see what was going on.

Old Madam Wei frowned. She had just returned, and the house the peasant woman pointed to was the one where Shang Lingjun lived.

Old Madam Wei and Granny Qiu exchanged a glance, their eyes narrowing slightly, a hint of suspicion in their expressions.

The peasant woman was plump and sturdy; she rushed over and kicked the door open.

"You little thief, come out here!"

She stared intently at the bed, her nostrils flaring with excitement, but what she saw next left her speechless.

What about people?

Shang Lingjun (Huo Chuan) seemed to have been startled awake; he sat up in bed, his eyes still blurry, his expression a mixture of surprise and slight anger.

Who are you?

The peasant woman was incredulous; she searched the entire room, not wanting to miss a single corner.

"Where is he? Where did you hide that little thief? I clearly saw him come in!"

Her voice was loud, as if she had deliberately raised it.

At the same time, she felt uneasy. Why was only this woman sleeping in the room? Where was Li Wei?

Where did he go?

Shang Lingjun (Huo Chuan)'s face turned cold.

"How dare you! You barged into my room and spout nonsense! I think you're just crying wolf! Guards, tie her up!"

Granny Qiu glanced at Old Madam Wei's expression. Old Madam Wei nodded slightly, and Granny Qiu waved her hand. The two old women behind her then helped up the peasant woman.

The peasant woman panicked and began searching everywhere, shouting loudly:

"The person is definitely hiding here, everyone come quick and see this little slut who's cheating on her husband... mmm... mmm..."

What hadn't the old women in those big houses seen? They quickly shut her up, preventing her from spouting nonsense.

Old Madam Wei's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly, and her gaze towards Shang Lingjun seemed veiled in a thin layer of frost.

"What happened?"

Shang Lingjun (Huo Chuan) got off the bed, her voice sounding as if it contained shards of ice.

"As soon as this person came in, she immediately looked at the bed and started shouting that a man had entered my room. When she didn't see the person she wanted to see, she wouldn't budge, shouting loudly and disturbing the neighbors. Mother, what do you think?"

Moreover, the most malicious thing about the person behind this is that she specifically sought out Ati's old acquaintances, who could be considered her former lovers and mistresses. Even if there is a thorough investigation, it will only make things more complicated.

Regardless of whether Li Wei succeeds or not, as long as he is in Shang Lingjun's room, Shang Lingjun will have no way of explaining herself, even if she had a hundred mouths!

Old Madam Wei quickly realized that this was a setup, and her expression immediately darkened.

"Go and tell the outside world that it was just a misunderstanding. It's just that there's a maid in our courtyard who's big and broad-shouldered, and this woman mistook her for a man."

Granny Qiu, knowing the importance of the matter, hurried off, smiling as she spoke to those who were craning their necks to find out what was going on:

"It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! My new girl used to work on the farm! She's big and broad-shouldered, and it's so dark at night that you can't see her clearly. At first glance, you might mistake her for a man. This is the second time she's been mistaken for someone else. The girl was terrified when she was pulled up!"

Upon hearing this, everyone realized it was such a misunderstanding. Some people burst out laughing, and the laughter spread, dispelling all the previous doubts and tension.

"Oh, it was a misunderstanding. I knew it! This is Puji Temple, with warrior monks guarding it. How could a man have come in?"

Granny Qiu's face crinkled with laughter.

"That's right, everyone, let's go back quickly, it's still cold in the mountains at night."

After everyone dispersed, Granny Qiu's expression instantly turned serious...
