CHAPTER 164: CHAPTER 164: NO REMARRIAGE ALLOWED, SHE WILL ALWAYS BE HIS WIFE

Pei Shu’er looked at Yan Huan Yu standing beside her. His already fair skin appeared even paler.

"Should Lin Yu and Lin Hong take you back? I’m afraid your wounds might tear if you ride a horse."

Yan Huan Yu was momentarily stunned, then he smiled.

"Thank you for your kindness, sister. But I’ve suffered worse injuries before and still managed to return on my own."

"Besides, you just stitched up my wounds so meticulously, I believe even if I ride, they won’t tear."

He was indeed eloquent and courteous.

Pei Shu’er said, "That’s good."

Yan Huan Yu mounted his horse and glanced at Pei Shu’er, the young man on the high horse was spirited and unrestrained.

"Take care, sister."

With these words, he cracked his whip and rode away elegantly.

Pei Shu’er couldn’t help but wonder, was fourteen-year-old Tang Zan also this exuberant and free? Living life to the fullest?

But after eighteen, Tang Zan could only live in shadows, planning everything in the dark.

He couldn’t protect his family or himself, merely a pitiful person toyed by fate.

Yet, he never submitted to fate, even to the death.

Pei Shu’er turned and pointed at the two Dazi, "Throw them on the horses."

She could gather information about the Dazi from the army camp, but it was further removed; it would be better to gather it directly from these Dazi.

Along the way, the two Dazi were extremely restless, and eventually, even whistled, causing the horses to immediately gallop wildly.

Both Zhang Chao and Ma He, riding the horses, almost fell off.

Then the Dazi whistled again, making the horses suddenly restless as if to throw Zhang Chao and Ma He off.

Pei Shu’er’s eyes were full of coldness. She took a swig of Spiritual Spring Water, heavily whipped her horse, leaving a red mark on its buttocks, and the horse galloped off.

Riding up to the two horses, Pei Shu’er sternly ordered Zhang Chao and Ma He.

"You two, kick them off."

The two Dazi were kicked off, and Pei Shu’er walked over, stepping on them.

"It seems you still don’t have a clear understanding of your situation."

With these words, Pei Shu’er chopped off their right hands.

The two Dazi screamed miserably and thereafter subdued, not daring to play any tricks.

Pei Shu’er rode her black horse, following Ma He and Zhang Chao towards the Deserted Mountain.

Once at the Deserted Mountain, Pei Shu’er placed the horses in the courtyard, then went to the kitchen to prepare a meal.

Afterward, she went back to her room, intending to enter the space to rest, as she was feeling a bit dizzy again.

Just as she reached the room’s entrance, she saw Shiqi standing at her door, looking at her with dark eyes.

Pei Shu’er nodded lightly at him and was about to enter the room.

At this moment, Xuan Liu jumped down from the eaves.

"Young Madam, Master has a letter for me to pass to you."

Pei Shu’er took the letter from Xuan Liu.

Upon opening it, she found it was a letter of identification.

Stamped with the county government’s seal, the location was not this cold frontier but the most affluent Jiangnan Region.

There were also a few silver notes inside, totaling five thousand taels, and several land and house deeds.

This meant that Pei Shu’er had already been well-settled by Tang Zan.

She looked at Xuan Liu, "What does this mean?"

Xuan Liu said, "Master has arranged a way out for you. He said if he cannot return here ten days later, then you should leave."

"If he’s still alive, he will come for you."

Pei Shu’er raised an eyebrow, "Did he say anything else?"

The words from Tang Zan were quite strange, not at all like something Tang Zan would say.

Xuan Liu cleared his throat, "Master also said, you are not allowed to remarry; you are his wife until death."

Pei Shu’er sighed, truly a great villain, his possessiveness is quite something.

Even facing death, he still marks his territory without acting on it.

Pfft, who are you calling the territory?

But thinking about this world’s rules, if she wanted to continue existing in this world.

She probably could only remain tied with Tang Zan.

After all, if Tang Zan died, this world could even select a new villain, but the world would temporarily collapse.

During the world’s collapse, she, an outsider, would likely be cleansed by the world.

Because Tang Zan was saved by her, he followed with the people to the place of exile, he didn’t have time to recover while also gathering his followers.

The forces in his hands were significantly reduced.

At this moment, his chances of saving War King were even smaller.

And because she had altered Tang Zan’s fate, the storyline’s progression became uncontrollable.

Even though the possibility of Tang Zan’s death was slim, as his death node hadn’t arrived, she dared not gamble.

There’s a one in ten thousand chance, and she couldn’t risk it.

Tang Peilin had two arms chopped off by Tang Zan, he could survive since it wasn’t fatal.

He was poisoned by Mrs. Li, also survivable as the poison wasn’t too strong.

However, if Tang Peilin had his head chopped off by Tang Zan back then, he would certainly die.

No matter how strong the Power of Plot is in this world, it can’t defy common sense.

Otherwise, she would have been ravaged to death by those government officers long ago.

So, if Tang Zan was fatally wounded, decapitated, or his heart stabbed through, would there still be a chance of survival?

That chance was too small.

Pei Shu’er had just thought of this when suddenly, a huge thunder struck down from the sky, hitting a dead tree outside the stone house heavily.

Pei Shu’er’s heart sank.

She had a bad premonition.

Was Tang Zan encountering danger at this moment, or was the world warning her?

As she entered the room, another huge thunder struck down, a bit closer.

Indeed, warning her.

Pei Shu’er angrily called out, "Xuan Liu."

Xuan Liu entered Pei Shu’er’s room.

"Young Madam, what’s the matter?"

Pei Shu’er said, "Prepare two human-skin masks for me, and also call Yinxing over."

About a quarter of an hour later, Xuan Liu handed the human-skin masks to Pei Shu’er.

Pei Shu’er applied the human-skin mask to Yinxing’s face, then started using foundation and other makeup products to paint her face, transforming it into her own likeness.

Making a human-skin mask of her own was not easy. It actually required making a mold, which would take several days at least.

There simply wasn’t enough time now.

It was two thousand kilometers from here to the Capital; even if a horse ran three hundred kilometers a day, it wouldn’t be fast enough.

Even if the horse could take it, she couldn’t handle it.

Not to mention, there were only five days left until War King’s execution date.

If she were late, she would probably only see Tang Zan being stabbed by others.

This trap was clearly set against Tang Zan and War King’s supporters.

Perhaps she would be eliminated by the world long before she reached there because of Tang Zan’s death.

After all, this world seemed to harbor a bit of malice towards her.

No, it was very much.

Tang Zan being in danger, even the thunder striking near her, was quite something.
