Best friends travel through time together! Marry the paranoid! Divorce together

He Chaoye led the horse forward slowly, his eyes gradually filled with mist, his body swayed, and he fell to the ground.

Xiang Huaiyue screamed and jumped off the horse, trying to run to catch him, but he was a step too late.

He closed his eyes, his face was pale without a trace of blood, and his cheeks were wet, it was hard to tell whether it was sweat or rain.

Xiang Huaiyue's shoulders trembled slightly, and she felt powerless. She lifted him up and held him in her arms, crying out, "Is there anyone there? My husband has fainted, please help him..."

She looked around in confusion and found a yard full of camellias in front of her.

It was the time when the flowers were in full bloom. The breeze blew gently, and the pink petals with rich fragrance fell to the ground.

But camellia is different from other flowers. If it withers, it withers as a whole flower, not petals one by one like a rose.

When in full bloom, the flowers are gorgeous and clustered together.

When dying, it is strong, resolute, cold and ruthless.

Xiang Huaiyue doesn't like flowers, but she has a special liking for it.

She hesitated for a moment, then stood up and knocked on the door. "Is anyone there?"

The bamboo door was closed and no one responded.

Xiang Huaiyue knocked a few times unwillingly and said softly, "I didn't mean to bother you, but this happened suddenly..."

Suddenly, the door creaked open, and a man in a jet-black brocade robe and a ghost mask on his face strode in.

He put his hands behind his back, and stared at Xiang Huaiyue with his deep and sinister eyes like a wild beast, almost wanting to devour her.

Xiang Huaiyue paused, and her eyelashes trembled violently.

He looked imposing and murderous. Could he be Xie Wenzhou, the master of the Valley of Life and Death?

Isn't she walking right into trouble?

Xie Wenzhou's eyes were devoid of warmth, and his tone was cold and sarcastic. "Weren't you quite eloquent just now? Why? You became mute the moment I showed up?"

"Thank you, Valley Master. I didn't know you lived here. I hope you can forgive me if I have offended you." Xiang Huaiyue lowered his eyes to hide the fear in them and spoke in a steady tone.

She looked like a frightened fawn, her teeth biting her cherry lips, the tip of her nose slightly red.

It was as if she would burst into tears if he growled.

Xie Wenzhou looked straight at her, raised his eyebrows slightly, and before he could utter a word, he heard her soft voice say, "Thank you, Master, for saving my husband."

Xiang Huaiyue mustered up a lot of courage to say these words, not daring to raise her head, for fear of seeing his cold and terrifying eyes.

Xie Wenzhou scoffed, "You don't even dare to look at me, and you still have the guts to ask me to help your husband?"

Xiang Huaiyue raised her eyes slightly, a bright smile on the corner of her lips, "Thank you, Master Valley, you are joking. Why would I not dare?"

When her eyes met his dark eyes, her heart skipped a beat and she clenched her palms to prevent herself from losing composure.

Xie Wenzhou played with the jade ring in his hand, his eagle eyes dark and unclear, "If I help you, what benefit will it bring to me?"

Xiang Huaiyue asked tentatively: "How many days can I be your maid?"

"There's no shortage of maids in Life and Death Valley," Xie Wenzhou said casually. "Whenever a group of people come to take the deer grass, they always abandon the maids and flee."

Xiang Huaiyue was stunned for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Then where are they now?"

Xie Wenzhou said with a hint of meaning, "I have sent them all to the Hundred Poison Garden. Only those who are useful are allowed to live."

Xiang Huaiyue's smile froze. "Should I go to the Hundred Poison Garden, too?"

As the name suggests, the Hundred Poison Garden is a place where poisonous weeds are cultivated.

Some poisonous weeds are incurable once you get involved.

It is like a tiger's den or a wolf's lair. Once you fall into it, you will be in danger.

Xie Wenzhou's eyes were cold and sharp, and he spoke quietly: "Then it depends on your choice."

Xiang Huaiyue asked again, "Thank you, Valley Master, has anyone taken the Deer Living Grass?"

Xie Wenzhou lowered his eyes and remained silent.

"I can agree to go to the Hundred Poisons Garden, provided that I thank the Valley Master for giving me the Deer Live Grass." Xiang Huaiyue's clear and lively eyes flickered slightly. "This is a deal between us."

Xie Wenzhou threw her a difficult question, "Lu Huocao or save him, you choose one."

Ask her to give up He Chaoye? No, she can't do it!

But she couldn't give up the deer grass.

As the saying goes, you can't have your cake and eat it too. How will you know if you don't try?

Xiang Huaiyue simply went all out and asked again, "Thank you, Valley Master, just tell me whether the Deer Living Grass is there or not."

Xie Wenzhou sneered, walked into the yard, threw his robe and sat down, his brows full of sarcasm.

Xiang Huaiyue knew he was mocking her wishful thinking, but there was no trace of anger on her face. She smiled and said, "I hope Master Xie can save my husband."

"Xuan Mo." Xie Wenzhou called out softly into the house.

Along with the sound of heavy and powerful footsteps, a strong and sturdy figure appeared in the yard.

Xie Wenzhou gave the order, "Bring the person back."

"Yes, young master." Xuan Mo responded in a deep voice and turned around to get He Chaoye back.

Xie Wenzhou glanced away and said, "Save him."

"I obey your command." Xuan Mo bowed and carried He Chaoye into the house.

Xiang Huaiyue subconsciously raised her foot to follow.

A cold voice came, "You stay."

Xiang Huaiyue paused and turned to look at him, "Why don't you let me go in and take a look?"

"Are you questioning me or the ability of my subordinates?" Xie Wenzhou said coldly.

Xiang Huaiyue said blandly, "Why would I question Valley Master Xie?"

A breeze blew, and the camellia flowers fell down.

A few pink petals fell on Xiang Huaiyue's hair, making her look even more beautiful and graceful.

Xie Wenzhou looked at her calmly, and a slight throbbing passed through his heart.

It turns out that he still feels moved.

For so many years, he thought his heart would be as silent as death, without a trace of fluctuation.

Xie Wenzhou stared at her bluntly and said calmly, "I suddenly remembered that the Hundred Poisons Garden is not short of people, but I am short of a maid."

Didn’t you just say there was no shortage?

Changing his mind in the blink of an eye? What a fickle man.

Xiang Huaiyue smiled and said softly, "Then I will stay and be your maid for a few days."

Xie Wenzhou did not answer, but raised his eyelids slightly and said lightly:

"Camellias cannot tolerate severe cold. Once it snows, they need to be covered with windbreaks. In winter, they need to be watered sparingly, once every three days, fertilized once a week, and weak and diseased branches pruned promptly..."

He talked a lot incessantly, and Xiang Huaiyue was stunned.

Why does it seem like she's going to stay here for a long time?

I'm just staying here for a few days, is it necessary to have so many things to pay attention to?

Xiang Huaiyue pondered inwardly, lowering her eyes as she responded, "Okay, I understand."

Xie Wenzhou didn't say anything more, but leaned back in the bamboo rocking chair, feeling relaxed and at ease.

Xiang Huaiyue waited on the side, but was thinking of He Chaoye in her heart.

I don’t know what happened to him.

She just checked and found that his body was very hot.

Therefore, she inferred that he caught a cold from being caught in the rain and was exhausted from the intense fighting.

"Cold." Xie Wenzhou raised his lips.

"I'll go in and get you a cloak." Xiang Huaiyue paused and looked up at him, "Where is your room?"

Xie Wenzhou: "Go find it yourself."

Xiang Huaiyue took the opportunity to get his cloak and slipped into He Chaoye's room.

Xuan Mo had just finished giving acupuncture to He Chaoye when he caught a glimpse of a beautiful figure flashing in from the corner of his eye.

His eyes darkened and he threw a dagger.

Xiang Huaiyue screamed, his pupils trembled, and he squatted down quickly.

The dagger sank into the threshold, making a sound neither loud nor soft.

Xiang Huaiyue suddenly felt a chill on her neck. If this dagger had appeared on her neck, her head and body would have been separated by now.

Xuan Mo said in a deep voice: "What are you doing here?"

"Is it not possible for me to come and see my husband?" Xiang Huaiyue gritted her teeth in anger.

"You are not allowed to enter without the young master's order." Xuan Mo's eyes were filled with hostility.

Xiang Huaiyue was not justified but also confident: "It was your young master who allowed me to come in."

She paused for a moment and spoke again: "If you don't believe it, you can go ask him."

Xuan Mo sneered, "I will naturally ask the young master."

After saying that, Xuan Mo strode away.

He even remembered to lock the door.

Xiang Huaiyue didn't bother to pay attention to him, her eyes fixed on He Chaoye's face.

He looked haggard, his breath was weak, and he showed no sign of waking up.

Xiang Huaiyue looked at him with a melancholy expression, muttering to herself, "He Chaoye, wake up quickly, we still need to find deer grass."

She didn't believe what Xie Wenzhou said.

Deer grass is so difficult to obtain, how could it be taken away so quickly?

No matter what, they had to go and see it for themselves.

Suddenly, He Chaoye's knuckles bent.

Although it was very slight, Xiang Huaiyue still caught it. She showed ecstasy, "He Chaoye, you're awake!"

He Chaoye opened his eyes with difficulty, his Adam's apple rolled slightly, and he hummed softly.

"How do you feel? Are you feeling better?" Xiang Huaiyue asked.

He Chaoye nodded.

Xiang Huaiyue suddenly leaned over and came closer.

He Chaoye's eyebrows jumped, and his hand hanging by his side couldn't help but clench the quilt.

Is she going to kiss him?

Could it be that she saw him wake up and used this action to express her joy?

But that doesn't work either.

Seeing Xiang Huaiyue's red lips getting closer and closer, He Chaoye's breathing became tight.

Forget it, just kiss.

Thinking of this, He Chaoye closed his eyes involuntarily.

Xiang Huaiyue leaned close to his ear and whispered softly, "Just now, when you were unconscious, I accidentally found Master Xie. He agreed to save you, but the condition was that I had to be his maid for a few days..."

She told He Chaoye everything that had just happened.

He Chaoye's expression froze slightly, realizing that he was being too sentimental.

He had just recovered from the embarrassment when he heard Xiang Huaiyue agree to be a maid for the furious Xie Wenzhou for a few days!

He Chaoye frowned and said in a cold voice, "No, you can't stay with him as a maid. I will take you away now!"

After saying that, he lifted the quilt and got off the bed, clamped Xiang Huaiyue's wrist, and wanted to take her away.

Xiang Huaiyue frowned slightly, "But I've already promised Xie Wenzhou."

"You are my wife. If I don't agree, this won't happen!" He Chaoye's face was cold and expressionless.

He supported his sick body and walked out with Xiang Huaiyue.

He had only taken two steps when the door was kicked open.

Xie Wenzhou's expression suddenly darkened, and his tone became aggressive, "Where are you taking my maid?"

"She is my wife, not anyone's maid." He Chaoye said solemnly.

Xie Wenzhou walked over, exuding a terrifying sense of oppression. He frowned and said:

"This is a private matter between her and me. What does it have to do with you? Although you are her husband, I don't see that you two don't have feelings for each other. So just be content and don't interfere with each other."

He Chaoye stood in front of Xiang Huaiyue and said with a contemptuous smile, "You just met us. How can you be sure that we are not in harmony? Can you even see into our hearts?"

Xie Wenzhou stopped two inches away from He Chaoye, his eyes piercingly dark. "To flatly deny is ungentlemanly."

"Turning a deaf ear is also the act of a mean person." He Chaoye retorted bluntly.

The two men are of similar height, and both have a very strong aura, equally matched.

Xiang Huaiyue didn't expect them to start arguing so quickly. She said awkwardly, "How about you both take a step back? Once my husband and I find the deer grass, I'll come back and be your maid for a few days."

Before he finished speaking, two unhappy voices sounded at the same time—

"no!"

Xiang Huaiyue's expression was a little stiff. She bit her soft lips, not knowing what to do.

All this happened because of her.

She is also the culprit.

He Chaoye's brows were filled with a hint of viciousness as he squeezed out a sentence, "My wife doesn't need to stay. If you try to stop me again, I will kill my way out."

Xie Wenzhou looked him up and down, smirking, "With your current health, you still want to leave this place? That's simply a fool's dream."

"If you don't know what's good for you, I'll take out any poison and kill you on the spot."

Xie Wenzhou paused for a moment, then laughed horrifyingly, "If you don't believe me, you can try it."

Xiang Huaiyue stretched out her bare hand and tugged at He Chaoye's sleeve, lowering her voice and speaking tactfully:

"We must not offend him. He claims the deer grass has been taken away. Go and investigate. I'll stay here as his maid. If the deer grass is really taken away, I can also make plans for him. He must have some deer grass here."

He Chaoye's eyes suddenly turned cold, "This place is like a den of dragons and tigers, how can I abandon you?"

"This is the best solution at the moment." Xiang Huaiyue's voice was so soft that it sounded like a sigh.

He Chaoye clenched his fists involuntarily, anger rising in his body.

Xiang Huaiyue smiled and said softly:

"Duan Yian doesn't have much time left. We must not act rashly at this moment. He won't hurt me. I will wait here for you to come back."

They were whispering.

This move was extremely irritating to Xie Wenzhou. He raised his eyebrows, hiding some of his anger, and asked, "How did the discussion go?"

Xiang Huaiyue spoke first: "I'll stay."

He Chaoye's dark pupils were filled with coldness. "You keep saying that she should be a maid for a few days. How many days exactly?"

"I didn't say how many days she should be in office." Xie Wenzhou raised an eyebrow and said, "Since she has agreed, it depends on my mood."

Xiang Huaiyue's eyebrows twitched rapidly, his face was panicked for a moment, and he said angrily: "Didn't you agree?"

"When did I agree?" Xie Wenzhou curled his lips and chuckled.

Xiang Huaiyue then remembered that when she asked him to stay and work as a maid for a few days, he did not give her a positive answer.

I even told her some precautions about camellia.

She gritted her teeth in anger, "You are so cunning and treacherous, you actually plotted against me!"

Xie Wenzhou stood tall and straight, his eyes revealing a look of contempt, like a high and mighty king looking down on everything. He curled his lips and spoke with a tone that was quite suggestive of sowing discord:

"I'd like to see what your husband will decide. Do you think he'll go get the deer grass? Or will he stay and fight with you?"
