Chapter 710: Chapter 352: What Is So Great About Having Tolerance?
"Is it just the two of us here?"
Xiao Lingqiu’s cold eyes surveyed the surroundings, trying to locate her personal Ghost Guard.
"It should be, right?"
Jiang Shouzhong casually plucked a glowing three-petal flower and pointed to the blood-stained right thigh of Xiao Lingqiu, "Can you handle it yourself? Need help bandaging it?"
Only then did Xiao Lingqiu notice that her right leg was injured.
A sharp stone shard had pierced into the flesh.
However, thanks to the side effects of Rama’s remains, she didn’t feel too much pain.
"No need."
Xiao Lingqiu attempted to pull out the shard, but for some reason couldn’t muster the strength, as if all her energy was spent on speaking and blinking, making it difficult even to move a finger.
Jiang Shouzhong noticed the woman’s condition and kindly reminded her: "If you don’t deal with it, you might bleed to death."
"None of your damn business!"
Xiao Lingqiu couldn’t help but curse.
She was utterly disgusted with the man who had deceived Miaomiao.
Originally planning to deal with this scumbag after finishing her affairs, she didn’t expect to meet him so soon. Unfortunately, her Ghost Guards weren’t around, otherwise, she would have skinned him.
"Then wait for death."
Seeing his good intentions treated like donkey liver and lungs (unappreciated), Jiang Shouzhong couldn’t be bothered to respond. He plucked more glowing three-petal flowers and continued searching for an exit.
Xiao Lingqiu coldly stared at the man’s figure.
Seeing that he indeed had no intentions towards her, she finally sighed in relief.
Of course, she thought to herself, with such an average-looking mask, she had no allure for Jiang Shouzhong, who was never lacking beautiful women around him.
Xiao Lingqiu calmed her mind and began contemplating the current situation.
This kind of unexpected turn of events was unforeseen by her.
Mysteriously, the burial chamber was flooded with water. Mysteriously, an earthquake occurred. Mysteriously, she and Jiang Mo encountered each other here.
Bad luck to the extreme.
If she had known, she would have stayed hidden outside a bit longer, not rushing in.
But since she was already in trouble, she could only find a way to protect herself. With the Ghost Guard Captain’s level of cultivation, it should be fine; she would have the capability to find her.
While Xiao Lingqiu was thinking, she suddenly felt a damp chill on the back of her neck.
It seemed something was crawling.
The woman tensed her nerves.
What is it!?
A mysterious entity slowly crawled along her neck, its slender legs lightly brushing against her delicate skin, each step leaving a cold mark on her heart.
Xiao Lingqiu was horrified, her whole body breaking out in goosebumps.
Unable to move, she instinctively wanted to call out to Jiang Shouzhong, but the mysterious entity had crawled to her jaw, scaring Xiao Lingqiu into clamping her lips shut.
It’s a spider!
She was utterly sure it was a spider!
For women, she was never afraid of rats or snakes, nor similar demons, including the human-like multi-legged spider demons in the Thousand Beasts Forest.
But she had a genuine fear of pure spiders.
An innate terror.
The spider continued along her shoulder, the cold, eerie touch making Xiao Lingqiu’s entire body tense, as if countless invisible needles were lightly probing her nerves.
When the uninvited guest finally halted at her high collar, Xiao Lingqiu could finally see its appearance clearly.
It indeed resembled a spider.
But different from a regular spider, this creature had sixteen furry, slender legs, was about the size of a palm, and had an eyeball on its body that resembled a human eye.
The eyeball gazed at her gloomily.
Xiao Lingqiu felt a chill rise from her heart, shooting straight to her brain.
The surroundings seemed to grow deathly silent at that moment; she couldn’t even hear her heartbeat or breath, only the suffocating tension.
"Hiss—"
The spider made a hissing sound, suddenly lunging toward her face.
"Jiang Mo!!"
Xiao Lingqiu cried out loudly.
Thud!
A streak of silver light flashed, sending the spider flying and pinning it to the stone wall.
The spider instantly exploded into a mass of green slime.
Jiang Shouzhong retracted his flying sword, using the flower’s light to observe the corrosive slime on the rock wall and ground, secretly wondering: "What disgusting thing is this?"
He approached Xiao Lingqiu and asked, "Are you alright?"
Xiao Lingqiu panted softly, still shaken.
Jiang Shouzhong crouched down, suddenly pinching the woman’s chin, forcing her to look at him: "How do you know my name?"
The woman pursed her lips into a thin line, refusing to speak.
Jiang Shouzhong looked over her shoulder, clicking his tongue: "There are quite a few disgusting monsters, crawling towards you again. This time I won’t help; you’re on your own."
He said, getting up to leave.
Knowing that he was likely scaring her, a trace of panic still appeared in Xiao Lingqiu’s eyes. She quickly said: "I was sent by the princess."
"Princess?"
Jiang Shouzhong slightly frowned.
Being long accustomed to a high position, Xiao Lingqiu calmed down after a brief panic, lying without batting an eye: "It’s Princess Miaomiao, she sent me to secretly protect you."
Jiang Shouzhong crouched again, scrutinizing the woman:
"Miaomiao should be aware of my abilities, and those around me, why would she send you to protect me?"
Xiao Lingqiu hesitated.
Ultimately, the woman helplessly said: "I’m a Ghost Guard beside the Empress Dowager, because she’s gravely ill, I specifically came to inform the princess. Originally, I was supposed to leave with the princess, but she insisted on leaving me behind, ostensibly to secretly ensure your safety, when actually..."
The woman’s face showed discomfort; she cleared her throat and continued:
"Actually, it’s to monitor you. As soon as I see you getting close to another woman, I would secretly send reports to the princess using a carrier eagle."
