A life of two souls traveling through time

Chapter 529 Hong Hua recklessly implicates Si Yao

At night, Lao Zhou drove the carriage through the dark mountain roads. Although he didn't understand why Honghua wanted to leave Deng County overnight when Yingmen didn't dare to touch Miss Si Yao, he had to do as she asked since she had asked.

The night of late spring was still a little chilly, especially in this mountain forest. Old Zhou shivered, and a cloak was already hung on his shoulders. Then a faint fragrance filled his nose. He couldn't help but reach out and hug the woman beside him into his arms, smiling, "This is how you can keep warm."

"You're not behaving properly again. Sister Si Yao is still in there!" Honghua took the opportunity to fasten his cloak for him and then tapped him lightly on the chest, whispering coquettishly.

"How can we be secretive as a married couple? What's there to be ashamed of?" Old Zhou disagreed and continued to hold her slender waist tightly and mutter.

"Who wants to be your wife? Aren't you ashamed at your age?" Honghua sneered and couldn't help but raise her hand to grab his beard under his chin and pretend to be angry.

"Hey, woman, why are you turning your back on me again?" Old Zhou knew she was joking, but he pretended to be angry and became anxious.

"Okay, okay, take it!" Honghua was too lazy to continue making trouble with him, so he stood up and threw a wine jug into Lao Zhou's hand.

"This...are you willing to let me drink?" The lid of the wine jug hasn't even been opened yet, but the urge to drink that had been in Lao Zhou's stomach for half a month has been lured out by the mellow smell of wine. He was ecstatic, but soon turned to ask cautiously.

"It's not easy to drive all night, so I'll treat this as a reward for you. But don't get drunk!" Seeing that he seemed to be addicted to alcohol, Honghua deliberately put on a stern face and warned him.

"Hehe, of course I dare not get drunk in front of you!" Old Zhou laughed at her and could not wait to open the lid of the pot and take a sip. When the wine went into his throat, he felt warm immediately, just like a spring breeze blowing on his body. The joy was indescribable!

"It seems that this wine is the most intimate with you!" Seeing Lao Zhou's ecstatic state after drinking, Honghua felt unhappy. She raised her hand again and pinched his chin with a smile.

"Nonsense, the person who is closest to me in this world is naturally you, my wife!" Old Zhou took the opportunity to peck her cheek lightly with a playful smile, and then whispered softly.

"You bastard!" Honghua then smiled charmingly, and then pretended to be shy and gave him a glare.

"It's cold outside, you should go in quickly!" At this time, the carriage came to a wind vent, and a cool breeze blew. Even Honghua couldn't help shivering. Lao Zhou quickly put away his smile and advised her.

Honghua did not force her. She turned around and sat in the carriage. Seeing that Si Yao had fallen asleep, she tiptoed to find a piece of clothing to cover her.

"Now that you've gotten rid of Yingmen, why are you traveling all night? Are you worried that Yingmen will turn to southern Xinjiang to look for Yanyu? So you want to go back early?" At this time, Si Yao suddenly opened his cold eyes and asked in a calm voice.

"According to the time, Yanyu must have returned to the Poisonous Insect Valley. As long as she stays in the Poisonous Insect Valley obediently, Yingmen will not be able to find her. What's more, Youmei is still chasing us and has no time to go to Southern Xinjiang!" Honghua was not surprised to see Si Yao wake up. He leaned against the car window with the curtain half lifted, listening to the rustling of the woods outside, and smiled proudly.

"You poisoned him?" Si Yao realized it belatedly and sat up in shock. She asked with some confusion, "Even if Youmei turned around and rushed to Southern Xinjiang, it was too late. Why did Madam go to provoke the Shadow Clan again?"

"Sister Si Yao really understands me." Hong Hua smiled at Si Yao with a glance in her eyes, and then snorted disapprovingly: "Who made that You Mei so abominable? How could I let him go?"

"Madam is too impulsive!" Si Yao could only shake her head and sigh helplessly. She agreed to help out of pity for Xuan Yu and never wanted to get caught up in such a vortex of grudges.

"Shut up!"

As soon as Si Yao finished speaking, Lao Zhou outside heard their conversation and immediately changed his expression. He hurriedly pulled the reins to stop the carriage and said in a deep voice through the curtain: "Honghua, come out!"

Hearing Lao Zhou's sudden change in tone, Honghua had no choice but to follow him out of the carriage reluctantly, and then she put her hands on her hips and started to complain:

"Look at you all, what happened? Didn't I just put a poisonous scorpion on Youmei? I just wanted to vent my anger!"

"You want to vent your anger. We will have plenty of time to settle with Yingmen in the future. But this time Miss Si Yao was kind enough to help you at the risk of her life. How can you repay kindness with enmity and drag her into offending Youmei?" Old Zhou glanced at the carriage with a sullen face, then pulled Honghua aside and scolded her.

"This... I was just so angry at the time, how could I have thought of all these?" After Lao Zhou's reminder, Honghua also reacted. Although he became aggrieved in his words, he couldn't help but blame himself for being reckless and stupid again.

"No wonder you want me to leave Deng County overnight. But no matter how fast our carriage is, can it pass Yingmen faster?" Old Zhou smiled bitterly and shook his head and sighed again.

Just as Lao Zhou finished his worried words, he heard the surrounding trees rustling in the darkness. Several black shadows flashed out from the woods and surrounded the carriage in an instant. The moonlight shone through the gaps between the branches and leaves, reflecting the cold and sharp blades in the hands of these black shadows.

Honghua's face was startled, and she subconsciously looked towards the carriage with her pupils shrinking. She saw Youmei holding Si Yao and standing on the roof of the carriage. Under the moonlight, Youmei, hidden in the mysterious black robe, exuded a ghostly aura, and Si Yao's slender neck was strangled by him again, but she was still cold and calm without any fear.

"Youmei, if you dare to touch her, the prince will never forgive you!" Seeing that Si Yao was really implicated because of her recklessness, Honghua felt even more annoyed and regretful, but she also knew that saving people was the most important thing at the moment, so she pointed at Youmei angrily.

"Hmph, don't use the Sect Master's power to put pressure on others. My life is almost gone, so why would I care whether the Sect Master will spare me or not? Hand over the antidote quickly if you know what's good for you, otherwise no one will have a good night tonight!" However, Honghua's threat angered Youmei instead, and he increased the strength in his hand, making Si Yao almost unable to breathe.

"If you let her go, we will give you the antidote!" Seeing this, Lao Zhou hurriedly responded.

"You are not qualified to bargain. Give me the antidote first!" Youmei didn't believe it and snorted coldly.

Although Honghua was unwilling, she had no choice but to throw the antidote away. Youmei took the antidote and put it into his mouth immediately. The hand that was strangling Si Yao's slender neck then loosened, but he quickly pulled her onto a nearby branch again.

"Youmei, what are you going to do?" Honghua and Lao Zhou's faces changed drastically when they saw this.

"In order to prevent you, the vicious woman, from playing tricks again, I have no choice but to resort to this last resort. Once the poison in my body is completely eliminated, Miss Si Yao will be returned to you safe and sound!" After Youmei took the antidote, he urgently needed to use his internal energy to neutralize the poison. After saying this coldly, he took Si Yao and disappeared into the night.

Honghua and Lao Zhou were filled with anger, but they could do nothing. The shadow warriors who surrounded them gradually retreated.
