Chapter 282 - 280: Xiao Chen Has Gone Mad: I Don’t Mind You Marrying Two Husbands

Chapter 282: Chapter 280: Xiao Chen Has Gone Mad: I Don’t Mind You Marrying Two HusbandsXiao Chen looked at Shen Qinghe with gentle eyes, his voice deep, "Where do you want to go? I can carry you there."

Shen Qinghe avoided Xiao Chen’s probing gaze and struggled for a long time before squeezing out a sentence, "I’ll just lie in bed for a while."

Xiao Chen, however, acted as if he did not hear her response, and said to himself, "The scenery in the valley is nice, I’ll take you to see the courtyard."

Shu Xiu, who was standing by, was stunned and she loudly reminded him, "Qinghe is Mr. Wuya’s Daoist companion, Big Senior Brother, what are you trying to do—"

The next moment, she found she could no longer speak.

Shen Qinghe saw this and grew anxious. But she knew that she could not confront Xiao Chen head-on; she needed to take a softer approach.

Upon reaching the courtyard, Shen Qinghe politely said, "Thank you, Big Senior Brother."

"Qinghe, let’s pick a date to get married. It’s not good to have you follow me without a proper status. Shu Xiu can be our witness, how about that?" Xiao Chen said without warning.

Shen Qinghe was secretly shocked and after a while, she said, "I am flattered by Big Senior Brother’s affections, but I have already made a pact with Mr. Wuya, and our names are carved on the Three Lives Stone..."

"I don’t think that’s a big problem. I don’t mind if you marry two husbands. I have prepared the almanac here; take a look and pick an auspicious date," Xiao Chen interrupted Shen Qinghe.

Shen Qinghe took a sharp breath and really wanted to jump up and curse Xiao Chen for being sick.

But seeing the persistent smile on Xiao Chen’s face, she held back.

There was no doubt that Xiao Chen was sick, and seriously at that. What was the use of arguing with a madman?

"I would like to enjoy the scenery here. Could Big Senior Brother put me down and let me have some quiet time alone?" Shen Qinghe said, trying to keep her voice calm and peaceful.

Not knowing what funny thing she said, Xiao Chen actually burst into laughter upon hearing this, which puzzled her.

"Qinghe, I used to think you were not very clever, but now I see you are wise beyond your years," Xiao Chen said, his smile fading, "Unfortunately, I am determined to have you, and your delays won’t change the outcome. I have many ways to make you marry me willingly, but I don’t want to force you."

Shen Biaohe really couldn’t understand what Xiao Chen saw in her. Did she even have any dealings with Xiao Chen?

At this moment, it was better not to continue the topic.

Afterward, Xiao Chen walked away, leaving her alone in the courtyard.

Shu Xiu had been secretly watching. Seeing Xiao Chen leave, she approached Shen Qinghe, pointing at her own throat.

"I’ll see if I can lift your silence." Shen Qinghe didn’t have the strength to raise her hand, but decided to try anyway.

And to her surprise, the attempt was successful—Shu Xiu could speak again.

She looked around to make sure Xiao Chen wasn’t nearby, then asked in a low voice, "Has Big Senior Brother put you under soft imprisonment?"

"Quite obviously," Shen Qinghe replied. She had expended all her energy to lift Shu Xiu’s silence and now didn’t want to move at all.

"Is what Big Senior Brother said to you earlier true?" Shu Xiu asked again.

Shen Qinghe didn’t understand at first, "What did he say?"

"Big Senior Brother said he doesn’t mind if you marry two husbands," Shu Xiu said, her voice even lower.

She thought the old Big Senior Brother seemed like a normal person; why did he now seem like a lunatic?

Shen Qinghe let out a cold snort, "How would I know if he is telling the truth or not? Anyway, I think Big Senior Brother doesn’t seem normal."

Shu Xiu nodded in agreement, "Exactly, I feel the same. With Big Senior Brother acting so crazy, who knows what he might do to you afterward. You must find a way to recover. But speaking of which, I wonder if Mr. Wuya will be so angry when he knows Big Senior Brother has taken you, that he could die of rage?"

Shen Qinghe also felt melancholic, "Mr. Wuya has quite a temper lately, and I worry he might do something foolish."

Such as killing someone when unhappy!

"Qinghe, I never imagined you could become a femme fatale. You’ve ensnared all three proud sons of Sky Pole Sect," Shu Xiu joked in bitter amusement.

Shen Qinghe: ...

With Shu Xiu’s company, Shen Qinghe truly hadn’t found the time in the Valley of Forgetfulness hard to endure. She had to admit now, Xiao Chen was a deeply scheming person.

If she were the type with weak resolve, staying in this place for long might make her feel that living in the Valley of Forgetfulness wasn’t so unpleasant after all.

Because she had Shu Xiu to talk to, she even started to feel like she was still living in Sky Pole Sect. It had to be said that Xiao Chen was good at psychological tactics, which made him a terrifying enemy to have.

She took the chance to
