Chapter 834: Chapter 587: Hitting Each Other’s Vulnerabilities, Jun Wuxian Enters the Palace to See Shen Chuwei_3

Xun Qingqing pouted, "Then why did you tease me?"

Jun Wuxian laughed, "Just kidding with you."

Xun Qingqing raised her head and met a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes that held emotions she could not understand.

"You like to laugh at me, just like before."

Jun Wuxian didn’t speak and just stared at her, his gaze settling on her lips until he couldn’t resist any longer and lowered his head to kiss her.

It wasn’t their first kiss, and while Xun Qingqing was initially a bit shy, she soon took the initiative to hug Jun Wuxian’s neck, boldly mimicking his moves and responding to his kiss.

Jun Wuxian had been trying hard to contain himself, and sensing Xun Qingqing’s bold move, he felt he might lose control at any moment, yet he couldn’t bear to let her go.

They ended up tumbling onto the bed, with Jun Wuxian propping himself up on his hands. He looked down at Xun Qingqing, her face flushed with shyness, and said, breathlessly, "I really want to devour you in one bite."

Xun Qingqing watched Jun Wuxian unwaveringly, and though she felt shy, she couldn’t help but keep staring at him.

"Axian."

"Rest early," Jun Wuxian said as he got up and strode out.

Lying in bed, Xun Qingqing stared at the ceiling, unable to process what had happened for a long time. Thinking back to the impassioned kiss... she almost thought that Jun Wuxian would...

She covered her face, Jun Wuxian was too bad.

Xun Qingqing pulled up the quilt over herself and couldn’t fall asleep for a while, her mind kept replaying what had just happened.

The next day, since they needed to reach the capital before dark, they set out on horseback early in the morning.

The morning was chilly, and Jun Wuxian took out a large cloak early to wrap Xun Qingqing in it, covering her face as well.

Xun Qingqing nestled into Jun Wuxian’s embrace like a little bird relying on people. She thought that after last night’s events, their morning meeting would be awkward and embarrassing.

When she finally saw him, she realized it was just like usual, with no hint of awkwardness.

After a full day’s ride, they finally arrived at the capital before nightfall.

Jun Wuxian didn’t directly enter the palace because his father wasn’t there. He didn’t want to alarm anyone, so he opted to stay at the inn.

During dinner, Xun Qingqing couldn’t help but ask, "When will we go find Shen Chuwei?"

Jun Wuxian said, "I’ll check out the palace first, then send someone to investigate. Don’t worry; you’ll definitely get to meet her."

Xun Qingqing was familiar with Jun Wuxian’s kung fu and knew he could come and go freely within the Imperial Palace, so she wasn’t worried that anything would go wrong.

"Okay."

Jun Wuxian instructed Xun Qingqing to rest early, then had Chu Zhao guard the door while he took advantage of the quiet of the late night to sneak into the palace.

Inside the Wuyou Palace, it was silent.

As soon as he arrived, Jun Wuxian went straight to the Wuyou Palace, knowing the way so well he could find it with his eyes closed, making his entrance effortlessly.

Under the night sky, the Wuyou Palace was as quiet as ever.

With the help of a few palace lamps, the appearance of the Wuyou Palace was clearly visible.

Jun Wuxian jumped down from the glazed roof tiles and looked at the familiar Wuyou Palace. Ever since Xiaojiu disappeared, his father had left the Wuyou Palace, and it had been uninhabited.

Many years had passed and not much had changed, except the trees had gotten taller and the grass had grown thicker.

He slowly approached Xiaojiu’s bedchamber, noticing a light on inside and a flicker of confusion in his eyes. How could a light be on in the uninhabited bedchamber?

Could someone be living there now?

That was impossible. Other than his father and Xiaojiu, no one lived in the Wuyou Palace.

With his curiosity stirring, Jun Wuxian approached the doors and pushed against the carved wooden door, but it didn’t budge.

Xuetuan, hearing the noise, woke up and immediately jumped to his feet, dashing to the bedside in one fluid motion and leaped onto the bed. He didn’t stop there but bounced over to Xiaojiu, extending his front paws to push against her face.

Shen Chuwei was sleeping soundly, but the disturbance made her grumble with displeasure, eyes still closed, "Jinyan, stop it."

Not losing heart, Xuetuan let out a noise as if to remind her it was Xuetuan, not Jinyan.

Roused by Xuetuan’s bother, Shen Chuwei opened her eyes and saw him; she said discontentedly, "What are you doing up in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"

At that moment, the door to the bedchamber was pushed open, and Xuetuan looked towards the entrance alertly.

Shen Chuwei, now half awake, heard the noise and opened her eyes wide to look at the entrance. She hadn’t the habit of having a palace maid on night duty, so the person entering couldn’t be a palace maid.

Could it be Xiao Jinyan?

But Xiao Jinyan had said he would be out of the palace tonight and wouldn’t return until the next morning.

Who could be entering then?

An assassin?

Thinking it might be an assassin, Shen Chuwei silently drew Po Yue from her space and watched as a tall figure approached. The light was too dim to see his face, but his build suggested it was a man.

If he dared to make a move, he shouldn’t blame her for using her blade.

The figure walked up to the bed without pausing and bent over with apparent ill intentions.

Shen Chuwei gripped Po Yue tightly, waiting for the man to draw near before she violently attacked his vital points.
