Chapter 343 Earphone Spell
Chapter 343 Earphone Spell
The night was as still as water, and the moonlight shone through the dense forest, casting dappled shadows that swayed gracefully.
As Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan returned to the inn, they passed through a grove of trees, where everything seemed so peaceful and beautiful.
Suddenly, Qi Yuxuan stopped in his tracks, turned to face Qiu Ziyue, his gaze deep and intense.
The next moment, he suddenly pulled her into his arms and kissed her.
The kiss came suddenly, yet it was filled with endless affection and longing, causing Qiu Ziyue to lose herself for a moment.
The two lingered for a long time, only separating slightly when their breathing became rapid.
Qiu Ziyue's cheeks flushed, and her heart pounded like a drum.
She lowered her head shyly, not daring to look Qi Yuxuan in the eye.
"My wife,"
Qi Yuxuan's voice was deep and hoarse.
Do you still hate me? I feel like you're distancing yourself from me now.
Qiu Ziyue gently shook her head.
"No... I've just been too busy lately and haven't had time to think about anything else."
Qi Yuxuan, however, was not relieved. He frowned, a hint of unease in his voice:
"Have you really fallen for Li Cunxu? Every time I see you walking with him, it feels like my heart is being cut by a knife."
Qiu Ziyue paused for a moment, then looked at him seriously and said:
"Yu Xuan, don't overthink it. Our marriage is fake, but I am the nominal Princess Consort of Jin."
Cunxu is currently busy conquering the world, so we must be extra careful about his every word and action.
If I become too close to you, it will destabilize the army and could even hinder his unification of the country.
After listening, Qi Yuxuan's doubts lessened slightly, but a trace of worry remained.
"But... I still feel uncomfortable."
"I, Qi Yuxuan, only ask for one person in this life, one lifetime, one love. If you choose to be with him, I will leave immediately."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Ziyue quickly grabbed his hand.
How could you think that? We are the real husband and wife!
However, at this stage, for the sake of the bigger picture, it's best for us to keep a distance.
Qi Yuxuan remained silent for a moment, then finally sighed.
"Okay, I promise you. Since you say it's for the greater good, I'll stay with you for a while longer."
However, my wife, we mustn't forget the children; they need our care.
Qiu Ziyue nodded in agreement.
"Yes, we'll go back together then and spend time with the children as they grow up."
The two lingered in the woods for a while, sharing their longing and concern for each other.
When they finally emerged from the woods, the moon was already high in the sky.
Qi Yuxuan was filled with mixed emotions:
We are clearly the real couple, so why do we always have to hide it like this?
But on second thought, perhaps it is precisely because this love is hard-won that it is all the more precious.
Back at the inn, Qiu Ziyue sat alone by the window, gazing blankly at the bright moon in the sky.
Her heart was filled with contradictions—
On one hand, it was her deep affection for Qi Yuxuan.
On the other hand, she asked herself if she had really fallen in love with Li Cunxu.
The image of Li Cunxu, who was domineering yet gentle, handsome yet adorable, always flashed through her mind.
She didn't want to let Qi Yuxuan down, but her rationality often couldn't control her tender feelings.
She dared not think about it, yet she was torn between them.
In a quiet little village.
Su Er quietly followed the man in black, running at full speed.
The man in black stopped and pushed open the dilapidated wooden door.
"mother!"
The man in black shouted urgently as soon as he entered the room, his voice trembling slightly.
However, before his call had even faded, a piercing wail shattered the silence of the night from inside the house.
The man in black's expression changed drastically, and he rushed into the house.
However, instead of his mother's warm embrace, he was met with a sudden chaos and murderous intent.
Accompanied by sharp metallic clanging and deep roars, a fierce fight erupted inside the room.
Su Er held her breath and quickly activated her invisibility technique, flashing into the house.
Shortly afterward, several men in black rushed out of the house and scattered in all directions.
Their movements were hurried and chaotic, as if some unseen force was chasing them from behind.
Su Er strode into the house.
The scene before him gave him a jolt—
The once robust man in black was now on the verge of death, his tendons in his hands and feet cruelly severed, and a sharp dagger was stuck in his chest.
Not far away, an elderly woman with white hair lay quietly on the ground, her eyes wide open, clearly dead.
"What...what's going on?"
Su Er murmured softly, her heart filled with doubt and indignation.
He quickly walked to the man in black's side, placed his palm on the man's chest, and continuously poured a powerful stream of true energy into him.
A moment later, the man in black slowly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with deep pain and resentment.
"Chu Yunfan..."
The man in black used his last ounce of strength; his voice was weak but firm.
"Chu... Yunfan, you've taken my mother hostage, I have no choice but to... lie!"
Before he could finish speaking, the man in black slowly tilted his head to one side, and the flame of his life was completely extinguished.
Su Er frowned as he looked at the tragic scene before him.
Chu Yunfan?
The name came back to his mind.
Could all of this be related to Chu Yunfan? Or is this just the tip of the iceberg in a much larger conspiracy?
Su Er stepped out of the house, looked up at the starry sky, and was filled with many thoughts.
He recalled the words of the man in black before his death, and the old woman's tragic demise.
All of this seems to hint at some unknown secret.
"Chu Yunfan looks refined and gentle, but I don't think he's a thing of the East."
Su Er muttered to herself,
Why would he go to such lengths? Was it just to cover up some truth?
Su Er hurried back to the inn and told Qiu Ziyue everything that had happened.
Qiu Ziyue frowned slightly and said:
"There seems to be nothing strange about Chu Yunfan's house, but the fact that he ordered someone to kill the man in black means that he has already hooked this fish."
"So what's the next step?"
The crowd asked.
“I’m going to lure the enemy in,” Qiu Ziyue replied.
"No, that's too dangerous."
Qi Yuxuan and Li Cunxu said in unison.
"It's alright, Yuxuan. Have you forgotten? We were at Master Hei's villa. I disguised myself as Hao Meigui, and it was all successful, wasn't it?"
Qiu Ziyue comforted everyone, saying:
"It's alright, I'll play it by ear."
Next, Qiu Ziyue distributed wireless headsets to everyone.
"Twilight Sparkle, you're really something, you even managed to bring this."
Qiu Langyu said.
"Senior brother, modern high technology is much more efficient than in ancient times. We should learn to use high technology to solve problems."
"Twilight Sparkle is still the smartest."
Qiu Langyu said.
Li Cunxu, Arutai, and Xiaowan had never used it before.
After they put on the headsets, Qiu Ziyue couldn't help but laugh out loud:
"Isn't it amazing? This thing may be small, but it has a lot of uses."
Li Cunxu tried pressing a small button on the headset, which startled him with a slight electronic sound.
"What kind of sorcery is this? It can even make a sound travel across distances and reach other people's ears!"
Arutai curiously touched the headset and exclaimed:
"That's amazing! It's much faster than the way we send messages in my tribe!"
Su Er appeared even more serious. He carefully examined the headset and asked:
"Master, how long will this thing last?"
"don’t worry,"
Qiu Ziyue explained, "This headset is specially customized and has a long battery life. I also brought a spare power supply so I can replace it at any time if it runs out of power."
Looking at this group of partners with different personalities but united as one, Qiu Ziyue felt a warm current welling up in her heart.
She took a deep breath and said firmly:
"Alright, now that everyone's ready, let's go! Remember, no matter what happens, stay in touch!"
