Chapter 461: Hubby, Wait For Me
Finally, the crowd behind them slowly became further and further in the distance. They were safe. Or at least it seemed that way...
The crazed horse also slowly calmed down and went to nibble on some grass by the roadside.
Jiang Wuhen hung upside down from his seat. His head had even bounced around during the ride. Sadness was written all over his pale face, his full life appeared to be shortened by half.
“I am really being forced into that marriage,” said Jiang Wuhen pitifully once he finally caught his breath after a long while. He looked at the two people before him with a dull gaze.
“This time, we believe you,” said Ling Chuxi comfortingly. Thinking back to that roar from that woman, as well as her iron tower of a father, they believed his words. It could be seen from his reaction that the marriage was not to his taste.
“Are you feeling better? If you are, then continue to lead the way,” instructed Ling Chuxi as she held Jiang Wuhen’s neck and sat in the carriage driver seat once more.
“I am wounded. I need to rest,” said Jiang Wuhen with a pitiful look directed at Ling Chuxi. His little heart really was wounded and was in dire need of comfort.
“You can stop for a while and slowly rest, but I’m afraid your wife seems to be about to catch up to us.” Ling Chuxi was sure this time that this cheat, without the both of them to protect him, would have ended up beaten to the point of being crippled or obediently becoming the son-in-law of Butcher Wang’s family.
“Hubby, hubby, wait for me!” Indeed, just as Ling Chuxi had just finished speaking, the ground shook, followed by that woman’s “charming and tender” roars.
“Urk,” Jiang Wuhen dry heaved. His injuries were instantly healed as he drove the carriage onwards to escape.
Just then, a few black figures flew past, quietly following behind the few people who were in the speedily driven carriage.
...
Up ahead was a lush forest, its range rose and fell was like a dragon drinking water with an end that could not be seen. Even Ling Chuxi could not really understand how the carriage had turned left and right on the rugged trail and they managed to end up here. However, in this place, the road came to an end as the carriage was definitely unable to make way in the dense forest.
“We’ve arrived?” asked Ling Chuxi, looking around hesitantly.
“Still too early for that,” replied Jiang Wuhen, jumping off the carriage and walking towards the forest. He pushed aside the foliage of a bush to reveal a deep and winding path before them, leading into the depths of the mountain range.
“All right, now just follow this path and keep going and you will reach the place,” said Jiang Wuhen.
“Do you think I will believe you?” said Ling Chuxi with a smile as she looked at Jiang Wuhen. Regardless of whoever she believed, she could not believe this cheat who was like street rat. Who knew where this small path would lead to? Perhaps even Jiang Wuhen himself did not know.
“Just keep going forward and you will really be at Rejuvenation Valley,” insisted Jiang Wuhen. “At most, I’ll just reject the remaining money. Either way, I am not going. If you guys want to go, go on your own.”
“As I’ve said in before, we are in a rush. If you delay my matters...” said Ling Chuxi with a smile as she slowly drew her sword.
Murderous aura, there was a murderous aura! Jiang Wuhen looked at Ling Chuxi’s smiling face and his little heart was jumping around chaotically, thumping in his chest.
“All right, all right, I’ll lead you guys over. Then everything should be fine now, right?” muttered Jiang Wuhen helplessly as he walked in front. “Why is it when I speak the truth no one ever believes me?”
“How many days will it take for us to arrive?” asked Ling Chuxi, following behind Jiang Wuhen. In Jiang Wuhen’s eyes, she only saw helplessness and a bit of unwillingness, but there was not much fear or guilt-ridden unease, so he should not be lying about the location at least.
“About three to five days at most,” replied Jiang Wuhen.

In the cold night, by the borders of Dong Xing Country, Huangfu Qingjue stood atop a huge tree, looking into the distance. The wind blew at his enchanting silver hair and snow-white robe, making him look extremely charming and graceful.
