Frontier Hero: From Receiving a Convicted Woman to Becoming an Emperor for All Time

He led Wang Yilu back to their residence, and pushed open the wooden door. Even he, who had experienced countless desperate situations and whose temperament had been tempered to be extremely resilient, couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

There wasn't even a decent bed.

Shen Chuxiao remained indifferent, suppressing his frustration: "The conditions are tough, but I'll make sure you live a stable life from now on, at least you'll have a soft, comfortable bed."

Wang Yilu didn't move, but suddenly knelt down: "My lord, I heard what the villagers were saying. They all said I was weak and useless, a burden, and that you would sell me sooner or later because you had nothing to eat... I don't ask for wealth or status, I only beg you not to send me to a brothel. For the rest of my life, I will be your servant, at your beck and call."

Shen Chuxiao's eyes deepened slightly, his mind clear.

The eldest daughter of the former Minister of Justice, she was pampered since childhood and would never easily beg for help unless she was desperate and in dire straits.

After all, she was a noblewoman from a prestigious family. She fell into misfortune and was exiled to a remote village on the frontier. She endured all kinds of hardships but managed to survive to this day. How could she be such a weak and ordinary woman on the surface?

"Get up."

Shen Chuxiao helped her up, a smile playing on his lips, but the sharp glint in his eyes sent a jolt through Wang Yilu, making her take him seriously.

"I won't sell you."

"Not only will I not help you, I'll also help you."

After he finished speaking, he softened his tone and did not press her about her past.

Such a beautiful girl would have been a top-tier existence in his previous world, someone he would have doted on; selling her would have been absurd.

Wang Yilu looked up at him, still with doubts.

Just then, a soft rumble came from her stomach. The girl's cheeks flushed instantly, and she lowered her head in embarrassment. She was starving after the long and arduous journey.

"Are you hungry? I'll make you some noodles."

Shen Chuxiao found a small handful of noodles; although not much, it was enough to fill their stomachs for the night.

This was stolen from the village chief's house by the original owner.

Thinking of this, Shen Chuxiao couldn't help but feel a little emotional. He buried the other party's daughter-in-law today, which could be considered as repaying the kindness of the noodles.

He was about to start a fire when Wang Yilu stepped forward softly, "Husband, let me do it."

Shen Chuxiao nodded in agreement.

Women should serve men.

It is only natural and a matter of course.

With nothing else to do, and noticing the drafty roof, Shen Chuxiao quickly fixed it using his practical skills from his previous life. The cold wind was kept out, and the room gradually warmed up a bit.

Wang Yilu, who was tending the fire nearby, caught a glimpse of the whole thing and his expression was somewhat strange.

Everyone in the village said that Shen Chuxiao was only good at petty theft, but now he was calm and efficient, and every move he made exuded a capable aura. He was like a completely different person.

While the noodles were cooking, Wang Yilu took the remaining warm water and wiped the dirt off her face.

Shen Chuxiao jumped down from the roof beam and was stunned when he saw her face clearly.

Her cherry-red lips, willow-leaf eyebrows, and starry eyes were truly stunning.

I found the treasure.

Wang Yilu's ears burned under his gaze, and she whispered, "My lord, I... haven't bathed yet, tonight..."

Shen Chuxiao was amused.

What was that woman thinking?

He smiled slightly: "I was just thinking, I, Shen Chuxiao, have actually married a woman who looks like a celestial being."

Wang Yilu blushed and lowered her head to place the noodles on the table.

She pushed the bowl towards Shen Chuxiao: "Husband, please."

Shen Chuxiao pushed the bowl over, and seeing that the other person was about to speak, he immediately said, "Shut up, don't talk. If I tell you to eat, just eat quickly, and don't object."

Wang Yilu's heart sank, and the slight improvement that had just begun to emerge was instantly extinguished.

It turned out she had been overthinking things; this guy was still an unreasonable rogue.

but,

He seems to be a good scoundrel.

……

She held the bowl, her eyes slightly moist.

She hadn't eaten plain noodles in a long time. After finishing the noodles, Wang Yilu made the bed, sat on the edge of it with the blankets in her arms, and asked, "Husband, shall we go to sleep?"

Are we going to consummate our marriage here tonight?

Her heart was cold, and she even wanted to end it all, but when she thought of the bloodshed at the Minister of Justice's mansion that night, she had to forcefully suppress the thought of suicide.

Shen Chuxiao didn't move, he just stared straight at her.

Not to mention,

She's thinner, but she's still got all the right amount of curves.

Wang Yilu understood what he meant.

She resignedly raised her hand, about to take off her coat.

Just as the fabric was about to slip off, a hand with distinct knuckles suddenly reached out and firmly stopped her movement.

I want you, but not now.

Shen Chuxiao withdrew his hand, his tone frank: "You go to sleep, I'll sleep outside."

After saying that, he turned and stepped out of the room.

But in just a few breaths, the cold wind forced him back.

It was a freezing winter night, and the wind outside was biting cold. Even though he was physically strong, he wasn't foolish enough to stand outside in the cold.

Seeing Wang Yilu stunned and bewildered, Shen Chuxiao's expression remained calm, carrying a hint of coldness that brooked no refusal: "Get into bed and warm the covers for your husband."

Wang Yilu snapped out of her daze, and without hesitation, obediently lay down in the cold bedding.

The two were very close, the girl's faint, delicate scent lingering around their noses, her body soft yet trembling slightly.

Shen Chuxiao could sense her unease, and simply said softly, "Go to sleep."

He closed his eyes and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Today, he has experienced too much.

I'm tired.

When Shen Chuxiao woke up, his chest felt slightly heavy.

Looking down, he saw Wang Yilu curled up in his arms, sleeping peacefully, her long eyelashes drooping gently, her little face serene.

Shen Chuxiao gently patted her shoulder: "Wife, it's time to get up."

Wang Yilu groggily opened her eyes, and their eyes met, so close they could feel each other's breath. She suddenly woke up, jerking away like a startled bird, her cheeks flushed as she hid at the foot of the bed.

Shen Chuxiao chuckled.

Now that the family's food supplies are exhausted, we must go into the mountains to hunt animals and stockpile food.

Frequent border wars in recent years have already depleted the treasury of the Great Jing Kingdom. Layer upon layer of taxes have weighed heavily on the people, leaving them destitute and even resorting to cannibalism in some areas. If it weren't for Shen Chuxiao's soul reborn and possessing the body, the original owner of this body wouldn't have survived the winter; she would have either frozen or starved to death.

Shen Chuxiao said to Wang Yilu, "I'm going hunting in the mountains. Stay home, lock the door, and don't go out. Wait for me to return."

"Be careful, my husband."

Shen Chuxiao pushed open the door and stepped out. The snow was pristine, and there was no one around. He quickly headed towards Black Wind Ridge.

There were bows and arrows he had hidden after killing Chen Liang, perfect for hunting, but the mountains and forests were covered in snow, making it difficult to find birds and beasts.

But Shen Chuxiao was a special agent of the Dragon Group in his previous life, so how could he not have the ability to survive in the wild? He calmed his mind and listened to the sounds around him. His five senses were instantly amplified, and he heard the subtle sounds of the wind and snow and the breathing of living beings.

In less than half an incense stick's time, he accurately captured a vibrant life force.

Shen Chuxiao walked quickly to a low-lying cave covered in snow, bent down, reached out, and suddenly dug through the snow at the entrance, pulling out the porcupine that was snoring inside.

The beasts of this world are far more ferocious than ordinary wild animals. This porcupine, nearly a meter long and covered in hard, sharp black thorns, instantly flew into a rage upon being startled, roaring as it charged at Shen Chuxiao.

It is powerful and heavy.

Shen Chuxiao's gaze remained calm as he nimbly slid to the side, easily dodging the attack.

He then raised his hand, drew the bow, and nocked an arrow.

Whoosh!

A sharp sound pierced the air, precisely striking the porcupine's hind leg!

This strange beast had thick hide and amazing defense, but it was still severely injured in the legs by this arrow. Its huge body instantly lost its balance and its movements suddenly slowed down.

Shen Chuxiao gave it no chance to retaliate. He suddenly lunged forward, raised his hand and swung his knife. With a flash of cold light, he cleanly severed the porcupine's head.

Warm beast blood gushed out, only to be frozen by the wind and snow in an instant.

Lifting the pig's head, Shen Chuxiao hoisted the beast's body and began to descend the mountain.

With this porcupine around, he and Wang Yilu would have enough meat to survive the winter that was about to devour them.

Just as he was about to approach his own courtyard,

Suddenly, a woman's desperate struggle and screams came from inside the house.

Shen Chuxiao's steps suddenly froze.

His body temperature instantly dropped to freezing point, all the gentleness in his eyes vanished, and a monstrous killing intent surged forth, instantly enveloping his entire body in a chilling aura.

Oh shit.

groove,

How dare you touch my woman!
