The transmigrated wife is crazy and ruthless.

Chapter 400 Daring to Try

Inside the secluded inn, small groups of people were drawn out by the commotion outside to see what was happening.

Qiu Ziyue watched them busy there, and couldn't help but sigh softly, then said:

"Elder Zhu, Elder Tao, and all of you, the princes and princesses of Khitan, thank you for your help!"

It's so annoying that you won't let me sleep in the middle of the night. I'm not playing with you anymore, I'm going to rest.

She turned to Qi Yuxuan, Li Cunxu, and her companions and said:

"Let's go back and rest."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Yelü Bei called Qiu Ziyue back and said:

"Miss Qiu, please wait, I have something else to say."

Qiu Ziyue turned to look at Yelü Bei and asked wearily:

"What's wrong? Prince Yelü, let's talk about it tomorrow. I don't know you well."

Yelü Bei smiled and said:

"No, Miss Qiu, I heard you have two husbands. Are the two by your side?"

Hearing this, Qiu Ziyue couldn't help but chuckle. She felt that Yelü Bei was a particularly simple person.

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuxuan, who was standing nearby, immediately stepped forward and said:

"Yes, I am her husband."

Li Cunxu, not to be outdone, added, "So what? I am his husband. What are you unhappy about?"

Upon hearing this, Yelü Bei smiled and said:

"Miss Qiu has excellent taste; you are truly enviable."

Qiu Ziyue waved her hand and said, "Prince Yelü, goodbye, I'll have to stay longer."

"Then she turned around and went back into the inn, where everyone began to discuss their next course of action."

Li Cunxu was the first to apologize to everyone, and they all punched him as punishment.

Qi Yuxuan calmly said:

"Well, they came at the right time, otherwise, I might be growing grass on my head."

Hearing this, Qiu Ziyue blushed and lowered her head without saying a word.

Li Cunxu asked Qiu Ziyue with concern:

"Your Highness, why don't we run away now? Otherwise, once they break through the barrier..."

We're going to suffer a loss; after all, that Tao Akun is really formidable.

Qiu Ziyue shook her head and said:

"It's alright. Judging from their formation, they probably won't be able to break the barrier anytime soon."

Let's go back to our rooms and rest. Everyone's tired. We'll talk again tomorrow.

After everyone left, Li Cunxu still wanted to keep Qiu Ziyue with him.

Unexpectedly, Qi Yuxuan pulled Qiu Ziyue over and said:

"My wife, I have something to tell you."

Qiu Ziyue obediently followed Qi Yuxuan.

After pulling Qiu Ziyue into the room, Qi Yuxuan asked in a gentle tone:

"Wife, were you and Cunxu kissing just now?"

Qiu Ziyue did not answer.

Qi Yuxuan continued:

“My wife, I understand you, but there’s no room for a third person in the dictionary of love and marriage. I hope you can think this through.”

Qiu Ziyue nodded and said in a low voice:

"Yu Xuan, Cun Xu and I haven't consummated our marriage. I'm sorry. Let's go home in a while. I'm so tired."

Qi Yuxuan gently pulled Qiu Ziyue into his arms, and the two lay in bed embracing each other as they fell asleep.

The sound of each other's heartbeats gradually soothed the fatigue and turmoil of the day.

The next morning, Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan woke up in their room, rubbed their eyes, and stretched.

Qiu Ziyue suddenly remembered something, and took Qi Yuxuan's hand, saying:

"Come on, Yuxuan, let's go outside and see if they're still lying in wait there."

The two went out hand in hand and, sure enough, saw Zhu Wen, Tao Akun, and the princes and princesses of the Khitan still standing guard outside.

Shulu Mingyao looked haggard with dark circles under her eyes, clearly having stayed up all night.

When she saw Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan come out, she immediately called out:

"Little vixen, don't be so smug. We will break through the barrier, and once we do, we will make sure you die a horrible death!"

Qiu Ziyue ignored her insults and simply smiled as she pulled Qi Yuxuan's arm, saying:

"Come on, my husband, I'll cook you some dishes. You haven't had my cooking in a long time, have you?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuxuan playfully said:

"My wife, I just want you to treat me to steamed buns."

Qiu Ziyue nodded and smiled, "Okay, let's go eat."

The two ignored them, which only fueled the enemy's anger.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Wen said angrily:

"You, Qiu Ziyue, you don't take me seriously at all! You two, break this barrier right now, and I'll reward you handsomely!"

While eating, Qi Yuxuan asked with some concern:

"My lady, aren't you afraid they'll break the barrier? Besides, what about the other people in the inn? They're innocent people too."

Qiu Ziyue smiled slightly and said:

"It's alright, this gives us a chance to conserve our energy. We can wait until they're exhausted."

I will proactively break the barrier and catch them off guard.

After hearing Qiu Ziyue's words, Qi Yuxuan felt relieved. He understood that Qiu Ziyue had her own plans, so he relaxed and enjoyed the delicious food she had prepared...

Seeing Qi Yuxuan and Qiu Ziyue so affectionate, Li Cunxu felt a surge of jealousy.

But he knew that, after all, it was he who had recruited the singing girls who had lured Zhu Wen and his men here.

People didn't blame him too much; they were already quite lenient with him.

So he ate with Qiu Langyu, Leng Feng and the others.

Just after Zhu Wen issued the order that whoever could break the barrier would be richly rewarded,

The soldiers also began to get restless, wanting to claim the bounty.

One of the young men stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to give it a try."

Zhu Wen was taken aback and said:

"Who are you? Are you sure you can break this barrier?"

The young man said, "My name is Xiaoshanzi. Before I joined the army, I learned some Five Elements Shield techniques from an old Taoist priest. I am willing to give it a try."

"Then why didn't you come and try before?" Zhu Wen asked.

"Your Majesty, I am but a lowly soldier, how dare I compete with Senior Tao and Princess Yelü for merit? It is only because the current situation is urgent..."

My elderly mother is ill and urgently needs money for treatment, so I'm taking the plunge and giving it a try.

"Alright then, Xiaoshanzi, I'll only give you the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."

If you break the barrier, I will reward you handsomely; if you cannot break it, you may return to the team on your own.

Tao Akun said angrily from the side:

"Young man, you're spouting nonsense. Let's see how capable you really are."

When Xiaoshanzi heard Tao Akun's mockery, he replied calmly and confidently:

"Senior Tao, you flatter me. I dare not speak so presumptuously. I have only heard that the barrier set up by Qiu Ziyue is related to the Five Elements technique."

I happened to have learned some methods to break the curse from the old Taoist priest. Although I can't guarantee success, I have to give it a try.

Zhu Wen nodded and said to Xiao Shanzi, "Alright, I'll give you a chance."

As he spoke, he ordered the guards beside him to light an incense stick.

Xiaoshanzi took a deep breath, walked to the barrier, closed his eyes and concentrated for a moment.

Then his hands began to rapidly form hand seals in the air, while he chanted obscure and difficult-to-understand incantations.

The soldiers watching held their breath, while Qiu Ziyue stood at the entrance of the inn, watching the scene with great interest.

Soon, the area around the barrier began to ripple slightly, like water rippling.

Sweat beaded on Xiaoshanzi's forehead, clearly indicating that this task had taken a lot of effort.

Seeing this, Tao Akun sneered and said:

"Kid, don't waste your energy. Do you think you can break this barrier so easily?"

Qiu Ziyue observed the situation outside through the window, secretly making plans in her mind.

She knew these people wouldn't give up easily, so she had to prepare in advance.

So she said to Qi Yuxuan:

"Yu Xuan, go and inform the others in the inn to stay home for the time being. I will find a way to ensure everyone's safety."

Qi Yuxuan nodded in agreement and immediately got up to make the arrangements.

At the same time, Shulu Mingyao was somewhat out of control due to exhaustion and frustration over the past few days.

She shouted at Qiu Ziyue:

"Qiu Ziyue, you vixen, if you've got the guts, come out and fight me! What kind of hero hides inside!"

Qiu Ziyue, hearing her shouting, was not angry. Instead, she smiled and responded:

"Shulu Mingyao, you should take a good rest first. You'll exhaust yourself if you keep going like this."

Even if you break the barrier by then, you won't have the strength to deal with me.

Seeing Qiu Ziyue so calm and composed, Zhu Wen couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

He whispered to Tao Akun:

"Qiu Ziyue seems confident; could she have some backup plan?"

Tao Akun pondered for a moment and said:

"Whatever her plans, as long as we persevere, we will eventually find a way to break the barrier."

However, just when everyone thought Xiaoshanzi would fail, a tiny crack suddenly appeared in the barrier.
