Chapter 381: Chapter 379: Qin Zhao, I Want to Kiss You Too

Hua Country had a large population, and many people traveled abroad annually; neighboring countries like T Country were often visited by Hua Country tourists.

This Hua Country tourist had previously visited the Imperial Palace, where a local guide had told him this story, though not in such detail.

The guide had merely pointed to a palace gate and mentioned that a cruel King was hanged here. Before his death, his skin was even turned into a kite.

The bus drove for two or three hours, and some tourists expressed a desire to use the restroom.

The driver stopped on a mountainous dirt road, which led to towering mountains.

"Rest here for half an hour, and don’t wander off!" the ticket collector yelled in broken English, "If you get lost, we won’t come looking for you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several tourists in urgent need hastily ran into the forest.

Qin Zhao and her two companions also got off the bus. She stood by the bus and looked toward the distant mountains.

Under the Qi Observation Skill, those mountains were enveloped in a layer of clouds, with the densest yin energy in the innermost areas, dark and thick, spreading outward.

Between the mountains, there was only this one dirt road.

Under the dark and eerie clouds, the road seemed like a giant mouth of the Abyss.

Everyone got off the bus but didn’t wander far, wanting to get some fresh air nearby after sitting on the bus for so long. Their bodies felt somewhat unwell.

Only Chu Yan remained on the bus.

He felt bouts of splitting headaches, his mind continuously flashing back to Qin Zhao in ancient attire, especially the scene of her committing suicide with a sword, replaying it multiple times in his mind.

His slender, cold white fingers rubbed his throbbing temples.

Chu Yan looked up at the distant mountains and noticed that dense yin energy.

Ever since they entered these mountains, the magnetic field had made him feel uncomfortable, filled with tyranny, bloodshed, and slaughter. It seemed to stir the deepest evils in one’s heart.

In those thick layers of yin energy, he faintly saw countless struggling, resentful souls.

Seeing Qin Zhao outside the bus, Chu Yan finally got off and walked toward her.

But he was listless, and reaching Qin Zhao’s side, he leaned most of his weight on her shoulder.

Not far away, a couple was embracing, the boyfriend kissing his girlfriend without caring about the public gaze.

Chu Yan was envious and whispered to her, "Qin Zhao, I want to kiss you too."

"Then kiss me."

Qin Zhao gave him a weird look—when had the damn guy ever been polite?

Oh right, he was sick now; he couldn’t kiss her!

Chu Yan then wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close to him.

After hesitating for a long time, he planted a small kiss on her cheek.

After that, he continued to lean listlessly on Qin Zhao, looking utterly despondent.

Qin Zhao turned her head and saw the pitiable, sorrowful look in his eyes. She inwardly laughed wildly though her expression showed heartache.

"Chu Yan, why do I feel like you don’t enjoy being close to me anymore? Could it be that you like someone else, hence you’re no longer interested in me?"

"How could that be!"

He looked shocked, unable to understand why Qin Zhao would think that.

"Although you say you have a cold, who has a cold for so long?

And it’s so severe that you have to sleep in separate rooms from your wife. You won’t even hold my hand, let alone kiss me. If it weren’t for this trip, you’d never come close to me.

If you really are tired of me, just tell me, and I’ll let you be with that other woman."

Qin Zhao sighed and pushed Chu Yan away from her.

Before Chu Yan could react, the surrounding tourists were already looking at him.

"Jerk!"

The ladies’ gaze was indescribable as they shook their heads and sighed toward him.

"Zhaozhao, I...."

Seeing Qin Zhao "sadly" run back to the car, Chu Yan, already feeling desperate, suddenly felt even more aggrieved. He quickly followed her, wanting to explain his recent strange behavior.

"Don’t say anything. Even if you did something to wrong me, what can I do?

I can only choose to forgive you. After all, my aunt trusts you so much, she definitely won’t doubt you, and I can’t divorce you.

As long as that woman doesn’t come to me, we can still live our lives."

Hearing Qin Zhao’s choked voice, Chu Yan’s forehead twitched.

Right as he was about to speak, a voice from one of the ladies came from the window, "Young man, you’re really heartless! Your wife is so good, and you still betray her?"

"I didn’t! I have never done anything to wrong her!"

"Oh dear, I’ve been through this. Even if a man does something to wrong his wife, he definitely won’t admit it. Since your wife says so, you must have been caught."

The lady had a "I advise you to know when to stop" expression.

Qin Zhao’s lips curled up slightly, but when Chu Yan’s gaze came over, she switched back to a sad face.

"Zhaozhao, believe me! I really didn’t!"

He felt so wronged he was almost crying.

"I am your person in life and in death, your ghost after death!"

Chu Yan hugged her, his eyes red, and Qin Zhao realized she had gone too far, but playing the white lotus role felt quite good, considering how he used to act with her.

"Fine, fine, I was just joking with you."

Hearing this, Chu Yan paused.

He suddenly looked up at Qin Zhao, "You were teasing me?"

"Yeah, can’t I?"

Chu Yan didn’t speak, his expression darkened, and his shadowy gaze fell on her red lips.

Especially seeing the mockery in her eyes, it was as if a beast inside him wanted to break free and find an opportunity to severely punish her, but in the end, he had to pull himself back from the edge.

Chu Yan, with a cold face, turned his gaze away to the outside of the car, ignoring Qin Zhao.

The lady who called him a scumbag had long left, but he was still upset.

Seeing him using the back of his head to face her, displaying a "If you don’t coax me, I’ll never pay attention to you" attitude, Qin Zhao couldn’t help but reach out and tug at his clothes, "Are you angry?"

"No!"

Though he said that, he didn’t turn his head.

"Oh."

Qin Zhao took that as his sincere response and lowered her head to play with her phone.

Chu Yan didn’t even know she was on her phone; his gaze drifted to the distant woods, wondering why Qin Zhao still wasn’t coaxing him.

Or else, he was not going to pay attention to her today!

He waited for quite a while and still didn’t get any coaxing from Qin Zhao.

Instead, he saw a disheveled figure running out of the woods, "Help! Help! There’s a monster in the woods, Jesida, he..."

This disheveled person was Murong Qi.

Her expression was terrified, her clothes were somewhat disheveled, and it seemed like there were beast scratches on her body.

She rushed over, and due to her fear, fell down on her bottom.

It took a while for people to react.

"What happened to Jesida?"
