366 His Injured Wife
Shen Yijia suspected that she had dug up this person’s ancestral grave before. Or perhaps she’d stolen his wife in a past life.
She wiped the blood from her mouth and stood up, holding on to the tree trunk.
This person’s martial arts were above that person’s.
Seeing that the sword was coming at her again, Shen Yijia cursed inwardly.
She did not pick up the long whip that had fallen to the ground and faced it without dodging.
She fought desperately. As long as it wasn’t a vital point, she would let her fist land on the other party even if she was injured.
The leader spat out a mouthful of blood. Looking at the woman opposite him, who was covered in blood but had a burning gaze, the interest in his eyes intensified.
It had been a long time since he had encountered such an opponent. Was she becoming braver the more she suffered?
If this woman had not been injured before, it would have been far more than that.
What a pity!
She was destined to die under his sword today.
Shen Yijia held her breath and exchanged dozens of blows with him. In the end, she jumped up and kicked the other party’s abdomen, using the momentum to leap backwards.
She clenched her trembling hands in pain and looked coldly at the person opposite her.
The leader wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and killing intent surged from his body. “Let’s stop here.”
With that, he held his sword and circulated all his internal energy in his hand, slashing at Shen Yijia.
Shen Yijia did not dodge. She knew her situation very well. It was already difficult for her to stand.
That single drop of spiritual liquid was nothing to her now.
Suddenly, an air-piercing sound came from behind Shen Yijia and pointed at the chest of the leader.
The leader’s gaze froze. He had no choice but to give up on Shen Yijia and block with his sword.
Clang! The sharp blades collided.
He felt his hand go numb, and his entire body slid back a distance before stopping. It could be seen how powerful the attack was.
At the same time, a figure descended from the sky and blocked Shen Yijia.
Shen Yijia’s tense nerves relaxed.
“Young Master Song!”
Those were the last words she heard before she collapsed.
Shen Yijia woke up to find herself lying in a comfortable bed.
She moved her body and remembered. She realized that her entire body ached. Scenes of what had happened before she fainted flashed through her mind.
“You’re awake?” An anxious and hoarse voice sounded in her ear.
Shen Yijia turned around and was shocked.
Oh my, who was this bearded man with dark circles under his eyes? He looked so depressed.
Song Jingchen was speechless.
Well, he did not know what Shen Yijia was thinking.
Song Jingchen carefully went forward and helped Shen Yijia up. He placed a pillow behind her and asked with concern, “How do you feel? Are you feeling unwell anywhere? Does it hurt?”
After asking, he felt that something was wrong and stood up. “I’ll get Mo Yuan to take a look at you.”
Shen Yijia blinked and silently retracted her thoughts.
Reaching for him, she frowned when she accidentally tugged at her wound.
“Don’t move. Lie down properly,” Song Jingchen said sternly.
His tone was fierce, but his eyes were filled with heartache and worry.
Shen Yijia grinned at him and shook her head. “I’m fine. It doesn’t hurt at all.”
Song Jingchen looked at her steadily. It was unknown if he believed her, but he swallowed his words.
After a long time, he took a deep breath and said, “If you can’t beat him next time, you can just run away, alright?”
He did not dare to imagine what would have happened if he had arrived a little later.
“Got it.” Shen Yijia pursed her lips. Thinking of something, she pulled Song Jingchen’s hand.
Song Jingchen was afraid that she would pull on her wound again, so he leaned over.
Shen Yijia held his face and looked at him for a while. After checking, she wanted to take off his clothes.
Song Jingchen grabbed her hand and felt bitter. “I’m not injured.”
She was clearly so seriously injured, but she still worried about him when she woke up. Was there anyone in the world more stupid than her?
“Really?” Shen Yijia did not believe it.
Those were nine experts. No matter how powerful her beautiful husband was, it was impossible for him to be unscathed.
Song Jingchen could tell what she was thinking and said helplessly, “It wasn’t me.”
After saying that, he looked at Shen Yijia strangely. “You poisoned him to death.”
He had only exchanged two moves with that person when the nine of them suddenly fell to the ground, bleeding from their seven orifices and twitching.
It was not that Shen Yijia’s poison powder was useless, but it simply acted up a little late. The nine people probably did not expect to die so suddenly and aggrievedly.
Shen Yijia was stunned. She took nine kills just like that? Not only did the nine people not expect it, she also did not expect it.
“Are you hungry? I made soup for you in the kitchen,” Song Jingchen said. “You still have to drink medicine after drinking the soup.”
Shen Yijia had slept for two days and was indeed hungry, but when she heard that she had to drink medicine, her face twisted.
She hated drinking medicine the most and didn’t want to drink it.
As soon as Song Jingchen went out, the door was pushed open.
A head squeezed through the gap.
Hearing the commotion, Shen Yijia turned around and asked in amusement, “What are you doing?”
Only then did Sister Huan enter the house.
She went to Shen Yijia’s bed and gently touched Shen Yijia’s hand on the blanket. Her eyes were a little red. “Sister-in-law, does it still hurt?”
Shen Yijia shook her head and said, “It doesn’t hurt anymore.”
Unexpectedly, Sister Huan’s tears fell.
How could it not hurt? She had seen her sister-in-law lying in her brother’s arms, covered in blood.
She felt that Shen Yijia must have said that to comfort her, so she felt even worse.
Ever since her sister-in-law married her brother, she had not had a good day. Now, she had suffered such a serious injury to save them.
She felt aggrieved for her sister-in-law.
Children grew up quickly. In less than a year, Sister Huan had grown much taller. There was still some baby fat on her face, which was fair and tender.
Her eyes didn’t look like Song Jingchen’s phoenix eyes, but like Madam Li’s.
Coupled with her teary eyes, she looked extremely innocent.
Shen Yijia was amused by her behavior. She turned slightly and hugged her. She patted her head comfortingly. “It’s only been a short time since we last met, and Sister Huan has become a crybaby?”
“No, Miaomiao is the crybaby.” Sister Huan was a little embarrassed by the teasing. She buried her face in Shen Yijia’s arms and rubbed against it, not daring to use too much strength. She knew that her sister-in-law was still injured.
She said gloomily, “Sister-in-law, I’ll definitely grow up quickly. Then I can protect you.”
Shen Yijia was touched. “Alright… They all say that you can grow up by eating more. Eat more in the future and you’ll grow up soon.”
Sister Huan looked up at her. “Really?”
Shen Yijia said seriously, “Of course it’s true.”
“Alright.” Sister Huan believed Shen Yijia’s words without a doubt. She thought of something and hurriedly withdrew from Shen Yijia’s arms. She untied a bulging pouch from her waist. “These are all the candied plums I hid. If it hurts, take one and it won’t hurt anymore.”
She loved sweets, but Madam Li was afraid that she would have bad teeth if she ate too much, so she did not let her eat too much.
Sister Huan looked obedient on the surface, but she often took some snacks from the others behind their backs and hid her share to eat slowly.
