What an Audacious and Sly Servant!

CHAPTER 36 – THE WILDERNESS

Mei Qian Deng brought Chu Xun to hide in the forest.

They didn’t know the enemy had dispatched how many assassins and they didn’t know if the enemy had any next move.

They could see the sky was going to be dark soon. For the sake of safety, Mei Qian Deng proposed to find a plan to hide.

Chu Xun followed behind Mei Qian Deng. His Highness Crown Prince silently stared at that slender back in front of him. He felt incomparably safe. Ever since they met each other, Chu Xun felt for the first time that Mei Qian Deng appearing in his life was a very fortunate thing.

“Wei, boor……”

“En?” Mei Qian Deng turned around. Her face seemed to be not quite well. Her eyebrows were slightly frowning. Although her eyes were calm, he naturally could feel she was hiding something unwell.

Chu Xun realised Mei Qian Deng’s strangeness.

“What’s wrong?” Chu Xun’s heart squeezed. Right now, this boor was his only last hope! Hence, he couldn’t help but to rush forward. One hand of his held Mei Qian Deng’s elbow while he sized up Mei Qian Deng’s body. Although it was summer, their clothes had yet to dry out. Earlier, his mind was occupied with the assassination and didn’t even think of Mei Qian Deng.

Chu Xun used his only little common sense to guess. It can’t be, because the wet clothes soak his body and blown by the cold breeze in the mountain, he got a cold? But this Crown Prince is fine. This boor practised martial arts throughout the year, he can’t be this feeble.

On a second thought, Chu Xun thought of a different possibility. “It can’t be you’re injured?!” At the same time he had this guess, Chu Xun’s hands were like a puppet with broken string, completely disobeyed his order. In a flash, they had already assailed Mei Qian Deng’s shoulders.

This sort of uncontrollable behaviour, for the time being he felt it was very worrisome.

But other than worry, this pair of nimble yet despicable hands of Chu Xun touched from her shoulders to her arms and then from her arms back to the shoulders. Then, he transferred them towards her chests from both sides. Chu Xun rationally didn’t dare to put strength to press. He was afraid of pressing Mei Qian Deng’s internal injury. Yet, naturally out of a certain natural instinct, he couldn’t refrain from pressing downwards.

Chu Xun suddenly realised his own movement. He was stupefied for a moment. Fuck, I attacked a man’s chest. He maintained that molesting chest posture, lowered his head and stared. After that, he immediately returned to his sense and hid his hands behind him with his head hanging like a child that had just committed a mistake. Chu Xun was really scared Mei Qian Deng would chop his despicable hands due to anger.

“I’m fine.” Mei Qian Deng’s flat tone was as before.

A certain person with guilty conscience lifted his head and carefully sized up Mei Qian Deng who was in front of him. Other than feeling that this extremely thin body of Mei Qian Deng actually had some pectoral muscles, she really didn’t have any sign of injury. Chu Xun suddenly felt annoyed a little. Why should he be so worried of Mei Qian Deng?! This thing came from jianghu, had tenacious vitality, surely he can take care of himself better than this Crown Prince.

Then, Mei Qian Deng turned her body around and continued to walk forward and open the path.

Suddenly, Chu Xun’s cry of surprised came from her back. Female warrior Mei even felt a lump of flesh pounced at her back, almost causing her to fall.

“You obviously are injured! Why are you acting tough for?” Chu Xun angrily rebuked.

“???” Mei Qian Deng couldn’t make head or tail of it.

Chu Xun’s shaking finger pointed at Mei Qian Deng’s back. “The lower back hem of your clothes are already drenched in red!”

Mei Qian Deng exerted herself to lower her head and turn her waist. She forced herself to look clearly her own buttocks. It was as Chu Xun said, there was a large patch of pale red. Because it got soaked in the water before, the bloodstain was not obvious and there was no sign of the blood still flowing.

Female warrior seamlessly frowned.

Today her period came. Her stomach was still painful. She didn’t expect that when she entered the water earlier, she swam too violent and leaked this much of blood.

At that time, when Eldest Brother and Sister-in-Law came to the capital, they passed a baggage of things prepared by mother to Mei Qian Deng. After Mei Qian Deng opened it, at first she didn’t know what those bits of clothes inside it were. After reading the letter mother slipped in the baggage, she instantly saw the light. Her mother was taking precaution. Taking Mei Qian Deng’s age into account and her plight, she prepared this huge baggage of sanitary belts. If Mei Qian Deng one day had her period, she just had to use one and burn the previous one. She absolutely must not make a slip. As a result, in just a few days, female warrior Mei’s auntie really came. It was not known if it was lured out by this huge baggage of sanitary belts from her mother.

“I killed that man under the water. It’s that assassin’s blood.” When Mei Qian Deng talked, it seemed to be imbued with an appeal, the genuine appeal that made others willing to believe her for no reason.

Plus, female warrior Mei was actually a talented actress too.

Chu Xun believed it instantly. He clapped his chest and sighed. “Oh, oh. So, it’s not because you’re bleeding. Scared this Crown Prince to death for a moment.” (Why is this child so innocent and easy to be tricked?)

Mei Qian Deng found a natural crevice made from a mountain rock on the mountain. She crouched and forcefully made it capable of accommodating two people. Then she tidied up and laid some dry grasses for Chu Xun on the ground. Chu Xun was not polite at all as he immediately laid down to occupy the space as the head. He didn’t have a bit of desire to share it with Mei Qian Deng. Mei Qian Deng clapped away the dust on her hands and walked outside.

“Boor, where are you going?!”

“Going to find some wild fruits. Are you not hungry?”

Hungry!

However, compared to hunger, Chu Xun couldn’t endure the barren mountain’s night more.

He nearly threw himself to hug Mei Qian Deng’s thighs. “Not hungry! There are many wild animals in the mountain. It’s better if you don’t go around.”

“I’m hungry.” Mei Qian Deng pulled her trouser legs yet Chu Xun was unwilling to let them go.

Now that she thought again, Chu Xun must be really scared. Mei Qian Deng had to exert lots of effort before successfully kicked away the Crown Prince who was like a dog-skin plaster from her legs.

Chu Xun didn’t give up. “What if the assassins appear again? How do you think I can resist alone? Then, it’s better for me to go together with you.”

“……”

Mei Qian Deng had no other way. She could only let Chu Xun stay at her side. The clean creek water was ahead. Mei Qian Deng halted her steps. “The river has mud and fish in it. I want to wash my body. Crown Prince wait at here. If there is any abnormal change, you just have to make sound immediately.” Earlier, she actually planned to wash her body but somehow this stupid Crown Prince just had to follow.

His Highness Crown Prince who was pampered and spoiled from childhood was a mysophobic. The moment he heard Mei Qian Deng wanted to have a wash, like a shooting arrow he dashed forward and blocked the female warrior. “This Crown Prince wants to wash too. You go swim downstream a little, don’t defile the creek water.” He was quite petty, dreading Mei Qian Deng would first snatch the place, he talked while starting to remove his waist belt.

“Then, you wash first. I will stand on guard at the riverbank. After you finished washing then I will wash.”

Chu Xun glared at her. “Both of us are men, why so shy? And, you even want this Crown Prince to wait for you? Why don’t you just go the heaven?” He pointed somewhere nearby, it was within the night vision range. Right at there, audacious boor, go there immediately!

The moon tonight was very nice.

Mei Qian Deng squatted far at the riverbank. She rolled up her sleeves to draw some water and cleaned her arms. Her expression was gloomy a bit. She lifted her head and looked at His Highness Crown Prince again. That thing had already undressed to his small shorts. His whole body was smooth just like a white loach. He was careful like a crab as he ran amuck towards the area where the creek water was deeper.

Although it was summer now, the night in the mountain was still quite cold. Half of Chu Xun’s calf had just entered the water when he sneezed. Then, he quickly found a large rock to stay on it. He raised his head and ordered Mei Qian Deng, “Wei, boor, come here for a moment.”

Mei Qian Deng rolled up her trouser legs and silently followed the water current to come over.

“What’s wrong?”

“Help me. Help me go to the bank.”

When Chu Xun said, his face seemed to be enduring something a little. Both his legs assumed the pigeon-toed posture, clamping the crotch of his trousers.

Mei Qian Deng was surprised. Did a crab pinch him under the water? This appearance of his, was the crab at his thigh climbing towards his family jewels?

“Previously I didn’t feel it. Earlier, the moment I touched the water, I instantly want to go to the toilet!”

“……”

It was not easy for them to return to the riverbank. Chu Xun only draped himself with an outer garment before hastily went into the forest. From a crab he turned into a skyrocket. He sprang over nosily and then sprang back outside. His face had a reluctant expression. “No, both of us go to the toilet together.”

Mei Qian Deng’s attitude was rejecting.

“Even if you’re afraid of dark, I will not accompany you.”

Bang! It hit right at the Crown Prince’s mark.

Chu Xun faced the death with equanimity. “Then I will leak it at here. You, turn your body around.” In any case, both of them were men and it was not so inconvenient in the wilderness.

“Wait!” Mei Qian Deng compromised, “I will accompany you into the forest.”

“I will stand right here. You go leak it at that tree.”

“On account of your great service of saving me today, this Crown Prince allow you to leak it together.” Chu Xun was still scared in his heart, the bushes in front of him seemed to have numerous pairs of bright green eyes blinking.

“I don’t want to……”

“Forget it!”

His Highness Crown Prince, today he fell into the water, lot of water must had entered his head.
