Quick Wear: The Heirless Boss Wants to Get Close to Her Every Day

Chapter 624 The Darkened Sword Maniac of the Martial World vs. the Cunning Enchantress (10)

Shen Shuyi fell asleep as soon as she got in the car; she wasn't afraid at all that Xie Xinghe would ambush and kill her.

Xie Xinghe is carrying a mission, and he shouldn't seek his own death before he reaches Penglai Mountain and obtains the "Tai Xuan Jing".

She didn't know how long she had slept, but when she woke up, the sun was already setting.

She lifted the car curtain and saw the man driving the car motionless, as if he were concentrating on driving.

"Hey, I'm hungry."

Xie Xinghe did not respond.

Shen Shuyi took out the map she had just bought, unfurling the parchment scroll. "Xie Xinghe, where are we now?"

“Mountain road outside Qingshan Town”.

Shen Shuyi frowned upon hearing this, "Why are you taking the mountain path!"

"There's a proper official road, but you won't take it. You're forcing me to sleep in the wilderness here!"

Seriously, taking shortcuts to get reborn into the right family.

The man didn't even turn his head.

Shen Shuyi put down the map, crawled out from behind the curtain, and angrily whispered in Xie Xinghe's ear.

"I'm hungry, let's find a place to park."

"You chose this path, so now you'll be in charge of hunting and feeding me."

Xie Xinghe was not used to women getting close, but she smelled wonderful. Why would a vixen have such a pleasant body fragrance?

It was definitely her natural scent, especially after she sweated.
Xie Xinghe frowned, surprised that he had thought of these things.

From that day on, he constantly reminded himself to forget the humiliation he felt before the cold pool.

Seeing that he was ignoring her, Shen Shu deliberately leaned over and hugged Xie Xinghe's neck, snuggling close to his face and acting coquettishly.

I felt his body suddenly stiffen.

"Young Master Xie, I'm starving. My bones are aching from sitting in the carriage all day. Please stop so I can rest."

Xie Xinghe drove with one hand, while raising the other to grab the girl's neck. "Let go."

Shen Shuyi let go of his neck and stopped hugging him. "Then hurry up and find a place to rest, preferably with a stream. I want to take a bath!"

After saying that, she went back into the carriage, which swayed back and forth, and she hugged the soft blanket and got sleepy again.

Xie Xinghe drove the carriage to a riverbank, then untied the horse and tied it to a tree to let it graze.

When he returned, he heard no sound from inside the carriage. He lifted the curtain and saw a girl with her long hair loose, lying on the quilt, breathing lightly and evenly.

She went to sleep again.

How many hours of sleep should one get in a day?

Xie Xinghe leaned against the carriage frame with his sword in his arms, his gaze still fixed on the girl's face. She looked quite well-behaved when she was asleep.

She doesn't resemble the ferocious demoness she appears to be when she's awake.

She lay face down, revealing her profile; her skin was fair and flawless, even more beautiful than spring flowers.

Who would have thought that the Blood Lotus Demon Cult's enchantress was such a seemingly harmless girl?

"Bang bang!!"

Shen Shuyi was startled awake by the banging sound. She sat up abruptly and almost swung her long whip.

He stopped when he could see the person in front of him clearly.

She frowned, annoyed.

"Xie Xinghe, what are you doing?"

"Come down quickly, it's getting dark."

Shen Shuyi stepped down from the carriage. The river shimmered with orange light, bathed in the glow of the setting sun—a truly beautiful sight. She glanced at Xie Xinghe and said, "You go hunting; I'm going to bathe in the river."

Xie Xinghe didn't say a word. After hunting, he didn't rush back, but lingered for a while before returning to the riverbank.

The girl had already washed up and was just sitting by the river drying her wet hair.

The rosy light shone on her face, making her incredibly beautiful. Xie Xinghe looked away after just one glance and started a fire to roast a wild rabbit.

The river water was still quite cool in late spring. Shen Shuyi slid her legs in the water, and a spring breeze carrying the fragrance of flowers blew through the woods, making her feel very comfortable.

Suddenly, she felt an itch on her foot.

While Xie Xinghe was roasting the rabbit, he heard a splashing sound. He subconsciously looked up and saw a girl standing in the river raising her hand and looking at him.

"Thank you, Xinghe!"

"Look, we've got an extra treat!" She caught a fish that weighed about two pounds.

Xie Xinghe didn't hear what she said next. His gaze was fixed on her beautiful face. A gentle breeze blew, and her hair fluttered slightly. At this moment, the enchantress was as beautiful as the moon rising from the water.

He lowered his head and continued grilling the fish. Sure enough, he couldn't get too close to the enchantress, otherwise his attention would be drawn to her time and time again.

Unaware of Xie Xinghe's thoughts, Shen Shuyi neatly prepared the fish and brought it back to the fire to skewer and grill it.

A breeze picked up by the river, and her clothes, wet from catching fish, clung to her body, making her feel a little cold.

Shen Shuyi took off her clothes. "I'm going to dry these wet clothes in the oven."

Xie Xinghe didn't intend to look at her, but out of the corner of his eye, he unexpectedly saw a girl wearing only a bellyband and underpants stand up and tie two trees with ropes, hanging her clothes on them to dry.

"It's a bit cold." Shen Shuyi hugged her arms and returned to the fire. The wild rabbit was already emitting a fragrant aroma, sizzling and crackling, the rich scent whetting her appetite.

Xie Xinghe frowned. "Put on some clean clothes."

"Oh." Shen Shuyi went back to the carriage, picked up an outer robe, put it on, and came to Xie Xinghe. She blinked her eyes and said, "It's not like we haven't seen each other before, why are you being so fierce?"

"Shut up." Xie Xinghe didn't even look up. He turned the stick over and continued roasting the rabbit, while also turning the fish.

The roasted rabbit was cooked first, and Xie Xinghe tore off a rabbit leg for her, saying, "Don't mess with me."

Shen Shuyi took the rabbit leg and took a big bite. "Okay, but I need to stay at an inn tomorrow."

"Don't forget the three-day deadline."

"I don't want to be out in the wild with you."

Xie Xinghe looked at her coldly, and Shen Shuyi shut up. The two shared a wild rabbit and a grilled fish.

Shen Shuyi slept in the carriage that night, while Xie Xinghe slept somewhere. However, she heard the sound of water in the middle of the night. She pursed her lips, thinking that she was being made to look like a lewd woman. Was she the kind of woman who would peep at men taking a bath?

……

After passing through the mountains and forests, the two found an inn on the outskirts of the city. The inn was at the crossroads, a necessary stop on the way to Buzhou City, and to reach Penglai Mountain by land, one had to go through Buzhou City.

It's really rare to find an inn here, in the middle of nowhere.

"Xie Xinghe, there's an inn ahead!"

"I want a hot shower."

"Hmm." Xie Xinghe responded lightly and drove the carriage to the front of the inn.

When the waiter saw their luxurious carriage, he kindly helped them lead the horses to the stable to feed them hay.

As soon as Shen Shuyi stepped into the store, she heard the system speak.

[Dear host, the male lead Shi Zhengchun and his confidante Su Qingyao are also here.]
"Su Qingyao found him?" What a coincidence.

[It was quite a coincidence. Didn't the people from the Sword Forging Manor redeem those thugs from the yamen? Then, that vicious woman named Granny Liu happened to meet Su Qingyao on the street. With her tendons severed, she feigned pitifulness and tricked Su Qingyao into going to a secluded spot where she was kidnapped. Granny Liu and her gang hated Su Qingyao intensely; if it weren't for them, those thugs wouldn't have been childless. So Su Qingyao was humiliated and almost killed, but at the critical moment, Shi Zhengchun appeared and rescued her.]
[Because those men were essentially eunuchs, Su Qingyao's chastity was preserved; she remained Shi Zhengchun's confidante and didn't have to fall off a cliff and die like the original owner.]
As soon as Shen Shuyi and Xie Xinghe entered the inn, several young people who were eating there looked over, including Su Qingyao and Shi Zhengchun.
