Chapter 115 -115: Revenge on the Spot
Jie Chen quickly steadied himself, his slender palm bracing against the carriage wall.
He abruptly raised his head, his dark eyebrows knit with frost, glaring intently at Xiang Ying.
As if she had said something extremely outrageous.
Xiang Ying blinked her delicate lashes innocently: “Why are you looking at me like that? Want to kowtow to me?”
Speaking of which, Jie Chen’s almost tumbling action just now really resembled her cartoon character from the Keke Sect.
Jie Chen nearly laughed in exasperation.
“I am not his son!” His face turned ashen as he sat back down in his seat.
Xiang Ying nodded, without a second thought: “Oh, then your true identity holds a position above his.”
Suddenly, silence descended in the carriage.
When Xiang Ying looked again at Jie Chen’s expression, she found his complexion had settled into calmness.
Those thin eyes were pitch-black, like an abyss that would never surge.
If anyone tried to get close to peer into it, they would be drawn into the abyss.
Xiang Ying inwardly shuddered.
That expression on Jie Chen… she had guessed right.
He dusted off his sleeve: “Whatever my identity is, it has nothing to do with you.”
Xiang Ying pouted: “It does, you’ve been undercover in Xizhou for who knows how long, and even deliberately acted as my male concubine…”
Before she could finish, Jie Chen drew his sword from nowhere and pressed it against her jaw.
“Shut up!” His jawline tightened, and his throat bobbed.
As if he recalled that humiliating past.
Xiang Ying’s phoenix eyes glinted, and she muttered softly: “Just last night you promised me that you would let bygones be bygones and forget our past grudges.”
Jie Chen’s voice was icy: “I did promise you, but you are also not allowed to mention it again.”
With that, he withdrew his sword.
Jie Chen’s gaze lingered on her eyes: “What I can tell you is that I am someone who values talent and now I’m unwilling to kill you.”
“On this journey, you’ll follow me—As long as I’m here, no one will bully you,” he paused and added unnaturally, “and the child.”
Xiang Ying didn’t reply, just knitted her brows and covered her chin.
As if she was in pain, she hissed: “You’ve cut my face, it’s so painful.”
Jie Chen’s icy demeanor suddenly froze, his tone rigid: “Impossible.”
Despite saying so, he still leaned over to check.
Jie Chen slightly turned his head, his sword-like brows twisted, his dark, thin eyes showing faint concern.
“Lift your head.”
Xiang Ying complied, pointing to her chin: “Right here.”
But Jie Chen saw nothing, and as he searched for the so-called wound, Xiang Ying suddenly bumped her head against his nose.
Jie Chen grunted in pain, stumbled, and indeed ended up kneeling on one knee before Xiang Ying.
“Tsk…” Xiang Ying covered her lips and chuckled lightly, her phoenix eyes sparkling.
“Xiang, Ying!” Jie Chen gnashed his teeth in anger.
This damn woman, he’s just worried about her a bit too much.
She really refuses to take the slightest loss, finding ways to torment him.
Xiang Ying crossed her arms, her haughty gaze downward, fully displaying her willful pride.
“I don’t like being pointed at with a sword. You better be careful next time, otherwise it won’t just be a bump on your head.”

“Are you threatening me?”
“What, you hurt someone else and they can’t retaliate?”
Acid Scholar sat on the carriage shaft, listening to the occasional arguments coming from inside the carriage.
What head, what hurting someone, what on earth…
Acid Scholar’s toes curled, his cheeks burning hot.
My goodness, he’s still an unmarried man, and Jie Jianjun and the elder princess are flirting in front of him, can’t they spare his feelings?
After returning to the encamped camp, Jie Chen went to adjust the orders and reorganize the troops, and the children were the first to surround him.
The women, upon hearing of Xiang Ying’s capture, were all sweating for her.
After spending these days together, they had come to regard Xiang Ying as their mainstay.
They truly hoped nothing would happen to her.
Seeing her return safely, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiang Xiuxiu still ran over to tattle.
“Mom, Skinny Monkey Uncle hit me!”
Skinny Monkey pleaded innocence: “Miss Xiu Xiu, you’re getting better and better at framing people, ha!”
Xiang Xiuxiu vividly described the situation at the time.
“Skinny Monkey Uncle told me to go to bed, and when I wouldn’t sleep, he slapped me and my brothers, first killing my brothers by hitting them and laying them on the bed, then he came to hit me.”
Xiang Ying fell silent.
“Are you trying to say that Skinny Monkey picked you up, patted each of you on the back, and coaxed you to sleep?”
The so-called killing must have been falling asleep with their eyes closed.
Xiang Xiuxiu blinked her big black grape-like eyes: “Yes! Mom, you’re so smart.”
Skinny Monkey was on the verge of tears.
“Thank goodness my sister-in-law is like Judge Bao brought back to life, with a keen eye for detail.”
Tao Xue and Qi Fengyi couldn’t help but comment: “It’s fortunate that Skinny Captain has been helping to share the burden; otherwise, without the elder princess, we would all feel anxious, and the little Your Highnesses would be inconsolable.”
Xiang Yuanshuo immediately struck a pose as the elder brother, face fair and lips a rosy red.
“I haven’t cried; that’s something for three-year-olds to do.”
Xiang Yuanlang stated coldly: “Elder brother, we’re three and a half.”
Everyone laughed.
Xiang Ying comforted everyone: “There will be nothing to worry about next; we’re setting off the day after tomorrow, so be prepared.”
Upon hearing this, everyone’s faces sank somewhat.
They were different from Xiang Ying.
Xiang Ying looked forward to entering Nanyue, eager to loot more wealth.
But the women knew that this journey to Nanyue was surely a death sentence and a disgrace.
Even if they got along well with these soldiers and team leaders from Nanyue, what would that matter?
Up next was a road to death.
Before their eyes, after passing through Lu State, then crossing what is known as Snow Mountain of Mang State that is snowy all year round, they would enter the territory of Nanyue.
It was as if their days were numbered, with King Yan’s executioner’s blade suspended above their heads, and no one could muster a smile.
Sensing everyone’s mood, Xiang Ying suddenly said: “Jie Jianjun knows we’re setting off the day after tomorrow, so he has allowed us to visit the Yuelao Temple on the hill tomorrow together.”
“If any of you want to join me to take your mind off things, let’s go together.”
Hearing this, the women’s spirits lifted.
A walk would be good.
In the evening, during dinner, Xiang Ying went into her space, typically feeding her cartoon figures their daily rations.
Everything tasty or drinkable, she provided.
Their current location was like a desert, certainly lacking water, so Xiang Ying turned on the tap and sprayed it towards the computer screen.
Unexpectedly, the water was also absorbed.
Apart from herself being a living person who couldn’t be sent through, it seemed everything else could go into the space.
Watching the cartoon figures bow repeatedly, thanking her for the rain, Xiang Ying felt immense satisfaction.
The weather was hot, so she made the children some minced meat noodles.
Fresh, steaming meat sauce spread over the firm noodles, sprinkled with a handful of vibrant green onion, too fragrant to describe.
Then she added a fried egg and a handful of boiled green vegetables.
Each child held a bowl, eating without lifting their heads.
She also didn’t forget Tao Xue, Qi Fengyi, and the Seventh Princess and others.
Xiang Ying carried two bowls of noodles to find Xiang Li and Elder Lin.
Thanks to Lin Lingxiang’s meticulous care over the past days, Xiang Li’s injuries had recovered remarkably fast.
When Xiang Ying arrived, Xiang Li and Elder Lin were discussing the terrain of the upcoming journey.
“Ayin is here,” Xiang Li said with a warm and handsome smile, “I was just discussing with Mr. Lin about how to make our Exile Team’s journey through Mang State easier.”
Xiang Ying pondered for a moment: “Mang State is known as Snow Mountain all year round, does it really snow throughout the year?”
Elder Lin stroked his beard with a gentle laugh, kindly saying, “There will be no snow in summer, only snow peaks, but I suspect that the Military Supervisor would not take a detour and will definitely choose to cross over the mountains.”
He took a stick and drew a straight line on the ground.
One could only imagine how cold it must be on the vast Snow Mountain.
Xiang Li was still considering how to prepare warm clothes to prevent everyone from dying on the road.
However, Xiang Ying focused on that straight line, and suddenly remembered what her friend had mentioned about this novel, referring to a place covered in endless snow.
If what her friend meant was indeed this so-called Mang State.
Then this is bad, big trouble is brewing!
