Let's Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 280: Chapter 280 Minister under the Skirt (2)
 

Before this incident, the Grand Imperial Princess had entered an underground passage with her people when suddenly, it began to collapse, burying both the Grand Imperial Princess and Xie Shu beneath.

However, when the original host woke up, she didn’t see any trace of Xie Shu.

Xie Shu met the Grand Imperial Princess again only after the original host had died.

Those around the Grand Imperial Princess were all experts, and they captured Xie Shu and once again imprisoned him by her side.

In order to regain his strength, Xie Shu cultivated forcefully using a secret technique.

Ultimately, it caused Xie Shu to suffer from cultivation deviation.

But Xie Shu was still lucid, continuing to cultivate in this manner, gradually turning darker and darker…

–

Xie Shu covered his slightly aching neck, slowly sat up, and subconsciously felt his body.

Realizing his clothes were all intact, he let out a small sigh of relief.

Xie Shu looked up across from him, where the figures of women became blurred within the dim light and shadow, as if covered by a thin veil.

Boom—

The ground suddenly started shaking.

Bracing against the stone wall behind him, Xie Shu steadied himself as small rocks fell around him.

Just as Xie Shu was puzzled, the ground in front of him collapsed, followed by a faint light shining in, revealing a passageway ahead.

The blurry figure that had been standing there entered the passage.

However, after a moment, she came back, “I almost forgot about you.” Can’t lose the Good Person Card, right!

Xie Shu: “…”

I beg you to forget about me.

Chuzheng grabbed Xie Shu’s arm, “Can you still walk?”

“Of course, I’m a bit better off than Your Highness,” Xie Shu replied sarcastically, attempting to pull his arm free only to find that Chuzheng had a surprisingly strong grip.

A sinking feeling settled in his heart.

Chuzheng dragged him forward.

Xie Shu stumbled slightly, struggling to keep up with Chuzheng’s pace.

This passage was quite spacious, with candles burning on both sides. The walls of the passage were carved with murals that had become indistinct due to their age.

Xie Shu quickly glanced at them, unable to decipher the murals’ depictions.

“Your Highness, you can let go of me,” Xie Shu tried to extricate himself: “Don’t worry about me, I have no means to protect myself, I won’t run off.”

Click—

As Xie Shu’s words fell, a faint sound echoed.

Chuzheng stopped, turning back to look at Xie Shu.

Under the dim candlelight, the man was dressed in fiery red robes, his ink-black hair was half-tied with a dark jade crown, while the rest casually hung down his back.

His features were strikingly handsome, and the candlelight cast a subtle glow in his eyes, like a gently rising light in the night sky.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

His lips slightly curled up, and his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, captivating and noble, making all the beauties of the world seem dull in comparison.

Why does the Good Person Card have to be so handsome?

No wonder the Grand Imperial Princess fancies him so.

But…

What was that sound just now?

Whoosh—

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—

Arrows shot out from both sides of the passage, and Chuzheng, quick as a wink, pulled Xie Shu out of the way.

The first volley of arrows was sparse, but the second came in dense succession, leaving no room to hide.

Xie Shu was shielded by Chuzheng, and he watched as she raised her hand and a flash of silver flew by, the arrows struck by the silver light and clattering to the ground.

Xie Shu stared at her back, his fists clenching tight.

No…

He would die here without her.

Xie Shu abandoned his plan to push her away and started to dodge along with Chuzheng. But Chuzheng soon realized that although this Good Person Card didn’t want to kill her, he didn’t make it easy for her either.

The entire passage was full of arrows, wave after wave, each wave with a few seconds’ gap allowing them to advance a distance.

However, the passage seemed endless with no end in sight.

Chuzheng had to deal with the arrows while coping with Xie Shu’s occasional sabotage.

Irritated beyond measure, Chuzheng turned around before the next wave of arrows and knocked Xie Shu unconscious with a chop of her hand.

Xie Shu: “…”

–

All the candles in the passage had been extinguished. Chuzheng dragged Xie Shu forward in the dark, walking for a long time without seeing the end.

What kind of cursed place is this.

Chuzheng threw away Xie Shu and leaned against the wall to catch her breath.

Her shoulder wound became more severe; now her entire arm felt numb and the bleeding wouldn’t stop.

This injury was a bit strange; she had already treated it once, and yet it seemed to have no effect—the blood hadn’t been stemmed.

Unable to figure out what was happening, Chuzheng couldn’t be bothered with it.

Too much blood loss?

Oh.

No worries, if I die, I’ll just rewind.

After experiencing several rewinds, Chuzheng had become fearless.

How does that saying go?

Only zero affairs—no, zero rewinds, and countless rewinds.

Chuzheng had decided that once she encountered the Grand Imperial Princess, she would take her down first to vent her frustration.

[Miss, I need to remind you.]

Chuzheng: “…”

Bastard, shut up, I don’t want to listen!

[But I still have to remind miss, if you rewind more than three times in any plane, you’ll be sent back to the starting point.] The King’s Account was very conscientious, insisting on speaking out even when Miss was fierce towards it!

Chuzheng the pitiful asked warily, “What do you mean?”

I understand each word you say when they’re separate.

But when put together, why does it seem that I can’t comprehend?

Bastard, I’m giving you one chance to explain yourself clearly, word by word.

[…]The King’s Account, intimidated by the aggressive aura Chuzheng was giving off, meekly replied: [I mean, going back to the plane you first experienced.]

Back to the very, very beginning?

Bastard, is this damn thing a devil?

After finally getting this far, how could I rewind back?

Absolute no!

Stubbornness from a little pitiable one.jpg

[Exactly, Miss, it’s not allowed. So please don’t rewind, alright! Let’s squander our money freely, forget about all those messy things; with money, you truly can do whatever you want!] The King’s Account flattered.

Chuzheng wasn’t paying any attention to what the King’s Account was saying.

She kept a straight face, mulling introspectively, “Even if I rewind once now, I’d still be able to take down the Grand Imperial Princess twice, huh!”

What a bargain!

Can’t waste a good opportunity!

No, wait…

During the first plane, I rewound so many times, why didn’t the Bastard remind me then?

[Miss, you were already at the starting point in the first one.]

Chuzheng: “…” Damn thing!!

[…]It’s being scolded again!

So angry, the King’s Account went offline in a huff.

Chuzheng had no desire to move either and rested against the wall.

Phew…

Chuzheng felt something blowing air beside her, cold and eerie, carrying a musty, damp smell.

Gazing into the darkness, Chuzheng saw nothing.

She fumbled to the side, didn’t find Xie Shu, but instead touched something sticky, like tree roots.

Chuzheng tossed away whatever it was and sprang up.

What, what is this thing!?

Phew…

A chill ran down Chuzheng’s neck as if something was blowing cold air into it.

Chuzheng turned around and threw a punch.

Something moved in the darkness, and Chuzheng’s fist hit nothing.

A flash of silver darted from her sleeve, a faint light twinkled in the dark, and Chuzheng could vaguely see a shadow standing two meters away from her.

The shadow was half a person tall, with countless roots spreading from its body, covering the ground.

Chuzheng: “…”

That’s, that’s disgusting!

What kind of monstrosity is this!

Chuzheng flicked her fingers in the air, silver light entangled the shadow, she raised her arm to the side, and the silver light smashed the shadow against the nearby wall.

That scared the hell out of me!
