The Evil Emperor Chases His Wife: The Good-for-Nothing Lady Is a Genius

Chapter 52: Entering the Ghost Forest with Nangong Jue

At noon the next day, the sun was high in the sky, and the scorching sunlight shone through the window onto Jiang Xue's bed. Lying on the bed, she gently rubbed her still aching head and muttered, "Oh...what's going on? I actually got drunk and passed out sometimes..."

The sunlight enveloped the room like a golden veil, illuminating everything around. Jiang Xue squinted her eyes to adapt to the strong light, trying to recall what happened last night, but her mind was only blurry and confused.

She tried to think, but she could only remember some scattered fragments - the sound of wine glasses clinking, Nangong Jue's beautiful face, and the strong smell of alcohol. As for what happened afterwards, it was as if it had been completely erased, leaving her with no clue.

Jiang Xue couldn't help but frown, thinking to herself: "It's over, I forgot that the original owner of this body didn't drink alcohol, now she is just reborn in her body, drinking requires physical fitness, last night she was only focused on the excitement of the soul."

Jiang Xue felt a little regretful. She slowly sat up, feeling a little heavy and tired. The headache after the hangover made her feel very uncomfortable, as if the whole world was spinning.

Jiang Xue took a deep breath and decided to get up and wash herself to wake herself up. She dragged her slightly staggering steps to the toilet. When she came back, she looked at herself in the mirror. Her face was pale and her eyes were confused. She couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"How embarrassing..." She said to herself, "But it doesn't matter. I'll just take this as a lesson for myself. I won't indulge in drinking like this again in the future."

After washing up, Jiang Xue sat down on the bed and tried to piece together the fragments of her memory from last night. However, no matter how hard she tried, the key plots could not be connected.

Just as she was lost in thought, a rapid knock on the door interrupted her thoughts. Jiang Xue opened the door and saw Nangong Jue standing at the door. He looked at Jiang Xue and his ears turned red.

"Last night... do you remember what happened?" Nangong Jue asked tentatively.

Jiang Xue shook her head and looked at him in confusion: "What happened last night?"

"I drank too much last night. Did you take me back to my room?" Jiang Xue asked Nangong Jue with a frown.

"Of course, your maid has drunk too much, and you have drunk too much. It's late at night and the dew is heavy. I can't bear to let you catch a cold in the yard." Nangong Jue said seriously.

Last night, this girl suddenly gave him a forceful kiss, and he felt so hot all over that he tried hard to control himself. He carried her back to the room, rushed to the water tank in the kitchen at a very fast speed, and poured bucket after bucket of water on himself before he calmed down his heat.

"Well, I... didn't do anything to you last night, did I?" It was also the first time that Jiang Xue got drunk, and she happened to have a blackout. She wouldn't force herself on Nangong Jue, right?

"Axue, you can only drink in front of me from now on. You are not allowed to drink in front of other people." Nangong Jue did not directly answer Jiang Xue's words, but instead gave a warning.

"Hmm~" Jiang Xue pressed her slightly aching head and thought, she did have this plan. She couldn't drink much at this time, so she didn't plan to drink anymore.

"I... I seem to vaguely remember that I kissed you." Jiang Xue's face turned red instantly. She lowered her head, her fingers nervously fiddling with the corner of her clothes.

Nangong Jue's heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, and he said softly: "You don't have to care, that's just your drunken behavior."

"But... I still feel very sorry." Jiang Xue raised her head and looked at Nangong Jue sincerely, "I will take responsibility."

Nangong Jue was slightly stunned, and then a barely perceptible smile appeared on his face, "Okay, I'll wait for you to take responsibility."

"Axue, we're on the same route, I'll accompany you through the ghost forest. There are quite a lot of powerful monsters in the depths of the ghost forest." Nangong Jue looked at the bottle of medicine that appeared in Jiang Xue's palm, and saw Jiang Xue raised her head and drank it.

"That's fine. I'll go down and see if Cuizhu is sober. If she is, we can set off again."

Jiang Xue drank the spiritual spring water in her hand. After drinking it, she felt her swollen head suddenly become clear.

Jiang Xue and Nangong Jue went to the ghost forest together. Along the way, the two were silent, but the atmosphere between them had a subtle change.

Cuizhu, led by Lin Feng, followed Jiang Xue and Nangong Jue, and the atmosphere between them was somewhat silent.

In fact, there are two roads in the Ghost Forest. The other road is relatively safer. It is heard that the road was created by a powerful man in the past. Those monsters will not approach that road, so most people in Tianlong Kingdom basically pass through that road.

Before they set out, Nangong Jue also told Jiang Xue, but Jiang Xue said that in order to improve her strength, she wanted to try this unsafe road.

Now that her strength has reached the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage, she wants to try out her strongest combat power, fight more monsters, and accumulate combat experience.

As for Cuizhu's strength, she is too weak now. When they reach the outskirts of the ghost domain, Lin Feng will take Cuizhu to the safe road to meet them at the end of the ghost domain forest.

"Tianbao, you said you have never been to the depths of the ghost forest?" Tianbao's voice came in Jiang Xue's mind.

"Master, no, there are many little monsters in there that are more powerful than me. I dare not get close easily." Tianbao said somewhat aggrievedly.

"You mean he's been there before and was beaten afterwards?" Jiang Xue asked with a frown. She made this guess based on Tianbao's tone.

"Well, at that time, I sensed that there was a treasure at the edge of the deep ghost area, and I wanted to take it away. Before I saw the treasure, many thorn monsters of the same size as me chased me and bit me. They were covered with thorns, and were a little slower than me, but stronger than me. Their thorns hurt so much."

Tianbao fell into memories. At that time, he was stabbed and injured. It took a long time for him to gradually recover. Since then, he never dared to go to the depths of the ghost realm again.

"Master, we're here!" While Jiang Xue and Tian Bao were talking, they had unknowingly reached the outskirts of the Ghost Forest. Lin Feng said respectfully to Nangong Jue.

"Master, there are many dangers in the Ghost Forest. It would be safer if you take this road together." Lin Feng looked at Nangong Jue with a worried look.

"Miss Jiang Xue, this deep place of ghosts is really dangerous. The master..."

"Lin Feng, accept the punishment when you go back!" Lin Feng was about to say that Nangong Jue had been seriously injured in the Ghost Forest, but was interrupted by Nangong Jue, who looked at Lin Feng with displeasure.

He would respect any choice she made, and would protect her if there was any danger.

"Miss, you must be careful!" Cuizhu held Jiang Xue's hand and said with some concern.

She heard clearly what Lin Feng said just now, but Jiang Xue insisted on going deep into the ghost forest, so she could only instruct her young lady.
