Chapter 321: 185 Are you crazy! (First update)_2

Although the skin was merely scratched and the wound was not deep, she felt a burning pain.

Yet, when she thought of the child as merely one with a life full of misfortune, she found herself unable to utter any words of reprimand.

After seeing her action, the woman tensed up subconsciously, her body tightening with nervousness. Not until Lin Feiyin relaxed her brows, evidently not planning to hold a grudge, did the woman breathe a sigh of relief.

Then, the woman’s gaze shifted, and suddenly, she locked eyes with another pair of eyes!

"Ah—"

She let out a startled cry that sent shivers down Lin Feiyin’s spine and frightened the child in her arms.

Seeing the woman’s frightened appearance, Lin Feiyin also grew tense. Yet, her expression remained relatively calm. Then, she abruptly turned her head and locked eyes with another pair of eyes as well.

Those eyes were delicate and the owner of the eyes was refined and handsome, possessing the scholarly nobility often seen in scholars. Her cheeks flushed slightly, then, realizing who it was, she asked excitedly, "Mr. Shen, you’re awake? Are you all right?"

Shen Xi blinked and then instinctively turned his head to look at Shen Xin, who was sleeping beside him. He quietly extended his spiritual power and discovered that although she was temporarily out of life-threatening danger, her body was extremely weak and urgently required treatment.

He turned his head back to Lin Feiyin and said, "Thank you for...cough...sheltering us. It’s just that...cough...could you find us a reliable...cough cough...doctor...please..."

A simple sentence seemed immensely difficult for him to say, coughing several times, with each cough producing blood.

His complexion was pale with sickness, and even his lips had lost their color. However, the blood coughed out gave his lips a bright red hue, an eerily beautiful tint.

Lin Feiyin was mesmerized in an instant, her gaze fixed intently on Shen Xi, her eyes and heart completely occupied by his face, unaware of anything else.

Shen Xi smiled faintly, his eyes filled with complex emotions. He had only probed a little, and to his surprise, he had succeeded immediately. Indeed, this woman was very easy to deal with!

As for the mother and child... he sneered inwardly; he had heard everything they said just then!

He continued to release his spiritual power, preparing to leave a spiritual imprint in Lin Feiyin’s Sea of Consciousness to take full control of her. However, at that moment, he suddenly heard noises from outside!

Panic surged in his heart, and he quickly sent out his spiritual power to investigate. And upon checking, he discovered that a troop of soldiers had arrived outside at some unknown time, and they did not seem to come with good intentions.

Yet, due to his earlier panic, his Spiritual Tentacles that had pierced into Lin Feiyin’s Sea of Consciousness were affected, causing a jolt in Lin Feiyin’s consciousness, and her defenses automatically went up!

Looking at Lin Feiyin again, she wore a pained expression on her face but her gaze became more guarded.

Shen Xi knew the opportunity had been missed, and attempting to control her now would lead Lin Feiyin to suspect him. Besides, Lin Feiyin was useful to him alive; he didn’t want to accidentally kill her.

So, he quickly retracted his spiritual power, pretended to be oblivious, and looked at Lin Feiyin with worried eyes, asking concernedly, "Feiyin, what’s wrong with you?" He then smiled apologetically and carefully asked, "By the way, may I call you Feiyin? I always feel that the address Lady Lin sounds too distant."

Lin Feiyin had some doubts at first, but upon seeing Shen Xi’s smile, her heart fluttered and any suspicions she had completely dissipated. A charming blush spread across her cheeks, and she softly answered with her head slightly lowered, "Yes...you may."

She continued to lock eyes with Shen Xi, unable to look away.

As the atmosphere between the two grew increasingly intimate, a panicky voice tactlessly cut in, "Lin! Listen, someone’s coming! Could they be here to capture them?" She looked at Shen Xi and the unconscious Shen Xin with hostility.

Shen Xi paid her no mind but coughed a few times, then desperately grabbed Lin Feiyin’s hand, weakly and painfully saying, "I...I do not want...to implicate you... If...if the people outside are here to capture me, please...cough cough...do not resist, let them take me away...cough cough cough..."

All that was left in the end was his painful coughing.

Shen Xi coughed violently, as if he was coughing out his very lungs.

Watching him in this state, Lin Feiyin was filled with unbearable sorrow, her hands clasping Shen Xi’s firmly as she declared, "Don’t worry, no matter who has come, I will not let them take you away! I, Lin Feiyin, am not someone who fears death!"

At her words, Shen Xi smiled again, gently and satisfactorily. He looked at Lin Feiyin with concealed mockery. Psychology was indeed accurate—by telling someone "not to do something," it made that person pay more attention to it and subconsciously do that very thing.

Moreover, though he did not manage to take full control of Lin Feiyin, he had left some traces in her Sea of Consciousness. As long as these traces remained, Lin Feiyin would be under his influence!

And since she was easily influenced by others, not a rational person at all, guiding her to act according to his wishes would be all too easy for Shen Xi!

The woman was not influenced by Shen Xi; she was already very hostile towards him. Now that Shen Xi was severely injured, controlling one person was his limit; he simply did not have the strength to control her.

As soon as Lin Feiyin finished speaking, the woman cried out in panic, "Lin, have you gone mad? Do you know the consequences of doing this?"
