Chapter 250: I’m a Good Man (I)Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Although Long had mixed feelings, he still knew it clearly that to be kind to his enemy would only bring disaster to himself.

All of those people wanted him dead. If they didn’t die, he would be killed!

In order to survive, he had no choice but to be cruel.

If the enemy must be killed, Long wouldn’t show mercy. Otherwise, his men and himself would be badly hurt!

The Shadow Guardians were rather efficient. After half an hour, the fight stopped.

From the beginning to the end, those assassins didn’t get the chance to approach Long and Shi!

“Master, we have completed the task.”

“Mhmm,” Long responded in a deep voice, “Let’s go.”

“These people…” The Shadow Guardian hesitated.

“Just leave them here. Someone will come to collect their bodies,” Long said coldly.

“Yes, master.”

Although these people were from the death squad, someone would surely come to take their corpses away!

Instead of staying there, Long and his men continued on their way.

The team that had planned to camp in the wild at night set off again.

In the carriage, Long was afraid that Shi would be cold, so he covered Shi with a thick blanket.

Shi said, “You can use it yourself. I’m not cold.”

“No way.” Long immediately shook his head. “You need it. Don’t catch cold. Besides, the blanket is big enough. Let’s stay closer.”

Shi nodded. “Mhmm.”

So the two of them embraced each other… Long held Shi’s whole body into his arms.

He held Shi tightly, but he wouldn’t make Shi feel uncomfortable.

Just like that, they fell asleep…

The carriage was still moving, so they couldn’t sleep very well.

After one night, the carriage arrived at the gate of Songye city.

The reason why they didn’t enter the city right away was that they didn’t want to be conspicuous. They planned to wait until dawn and go in with other common people.

Long yawned and opened his eyes, while Shi was still sleeping in his arms.

Looking at his lover’s beautiful profile, Long leaned over and kissed his nose.

Shi didn’t wake up. He just moved his body as if he felt a little uncomfortable.

Long hugged him more tightly.

Maybe Shi felt that someone was staring at him, he finally opened his eyes a moment later.

Long’s voice was a little hoarse. “Qingzhou, you’re awake.”

Shi blinked and didn’t speak.

Long thought that Shi looked so cute, so he couldn’t help smiling and stretched out his hand to touch the tip of Shi’s nose.

Shi took a look at him. “Hmm?”

Long grinned and said, “I’ve been awake for a long time.”

“Really? Why didn’t you wake me up?” Shi asked and sat up.

Shi was still on Long’s lap, so when he sat up, his chest got closer to Long’s.

And as they got closer, the color of Long’s pupils became darker.

“Qingzhou… this is so dangerous…”

Shi was stunned and his body became stiff. He naturally found out the reason why Long said so.

Seeing that Shi had noticed that, Long’s voice became hoarser.

“Qingzhou… you know it, right?”

Shi turned around calmly. “What do you mean?”

Long grinned. “You know what I mean.” Then, he pointed to that spot.

Shi smiled and then stood up. “It’s time to get out. We need to enter the city.”

Long’s eyes widened. “You’re just leaving me like that? Qingzhou, this is too much!”

Shi pretended to have heard nothing and directly went out.

Long curled his lips and thought that Shi seemed to have changed. He didn’t expect Shi would behave like that!

In fact, Long didn’t really want to do anything. He just said that to make fun of his empress.

So, after Shi left, Long also got out of the carriage…

A Shadow Guardian immediately went to him. “Master.”

“Mhmm. Where’s Qingzhou?”

Long looked to the front and didn’t see him. Shi just got off a moment ago, so he was very confused about where Shi had gone.

“Master, Master Shi is over there.”

Long looked in the direction that the Shadow Guardian pointed.

It turned out that his empress was at the city wall in the northeast, but Long didn’t know what he was doing.

Long was very curious, so he walked over.

“Qingzhou!” Long patted Shi’s shoulder in the back as if he wanted to scare Shi.

However, Shi wasn’t scared at all, because Shi had heard Long’s footsteps and known he was approaching.

So, Shi turned his head calmly. “You are here.”

Long looked at the wall. “What are you looking at?”

Shi shook his head and then said, “Look here.”

“Hmm? There are so many spiders. So disgusting. What’s happening?”

Shi looked at him and said slowly, “Where’s Liu Suifeng?”

“Hmm? I didn’t see him. Do you want him to come here?”

“Mhmm. Tell him to come and have a look,” Shi said.

“Okay, I’ll go.”

A Shadow Guardian happened to go to them, so Long directly asked him to call Liu over.

The Shadow Guardian hurriedly went to Liu.

Liu was leisurely staying on a tree earlier. When he heard that Long and Shi were looking for him, he went there with Ouyang.

“What’s the matter?” Liu asked.

Long pointed to the ground. “There are so many spiders and centipedes. Is there a problem here?”

Liu was surprised. “Why are there so many spiders?”

Long shrugged. “I don’t know. If I knew that, I wouldn’t ask you.”

Liu looked very serious. “Given the climate and environment here, there shouldn’t be so many centipedes and spiders. Ask some people to dig them out. I’ll have a check.”

“Okay, let’s do it,” Long said immediately.

Shi ordered a Shadow Guardian to talk to the guards at the city gate.

If they dug the place without telling the guards, they might run into trouble.

Long also thought of this problem, but since Shi had asked someone to do it, he didn’t say anything.

Instead of staying there and watching Liu, Shi went to Long. “Let’s go over there.”

“Don’t we need to wait here for the result?” Long asked.

Shi shook his head. “There’s no need. Let’s go over there.”

“Okay.” Long didn’t care so much about it, so he left with Shi.

They went towards the carriage and there were some people selling breakfast outside the city gate.

There was a wonton soup stall which looked pretty good.

A Shadow Guardian bought some for them. After making sure that it wasn’t poisonous, he presented it to Long and Shi.

Long took one smell. “It smells great.”

Shi smiled. “Then just eat.”

Long took Shi to the carriage. “There are two bowls. Let’s eat together.”

Shi didn’t refuse.

The two of them began to eat. Before they had finished, Liu came.

“Whoa, what are you eating? It smells great.”

“Wonton soup. It’s very delicious. Would you like some? There’s a stall at the roadside,” Long said.

“I’ll go later,” Liu said.

Long nodded. “Mhmm, go and have a look.”

“What’s going on over there?” Shi asked.

Liu said seriously, “Something was buried there earlier. I guess it should be some poisonous creatures, but all of those things have been taken away. So there are only spiders and centipedes now.”

“Poisonous creatures?” Long frowned. “Will Songye city become the second Quanzhou?”

Liu was worried, but he wasn’t sure.

Shi said calmly, “We just left Songye city not long ago. Even if they want to make such poisonous creatures, they need some time.”

“If they’re sure that we’ll pass Songye city… that’s quite possible.”

Liu said, “It seems that… the poisonous smoke isn’t their last trick.”
