Chapter 157: Chapter 155: She Doesn’t Want to Bother With Him

Mu Silin and the others also noticed that the light in Shen Yue’s tent had gone out.

So, without giving Bai Chaosi on the ground another glance, they all headed that way.

After the others left, A Cheng, who had been hiding in the shadows, could no longer bear it and instantly appeared.

Looking at Bai Chaosi on the ground, he helped him up with bloodshot eyes.

"Young Master, Young Master, wake up."

But the man in his arms showed no response.

Panicked, he began to continuously channel his spiritual power into him.

"Young Master, wake up! Young Master!"

After what felt like an eternity, A Cheng’s own face had turned deathly pale from the excessive drain on his spiritual power.

Only then did Bai Chaosi finally react.

He abruptly spat out a mouthful of blood and came to.

Startled, A Cheng immediately wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Young Master, are you alright?"

When Bai Chaosi came to his senses and saw that it was A Cheng before him, his gaze turned cold.

A Cheng immediately understood.

He quickly took two steps back to create some distance, then knelt on the ground, his eyes red.

"Young Master, please punish me! I did not follow your orders and acted on my own. I am guilty!" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

The Young Master never allowed anyone to touch him.

Moreover, the Young Master had instructed him that no matter what happened, he was not to interfere; it was a punishment he had to endure.

But he couldn’t do it.

He couldn’t just watch the Young Master collapse here and do nothing.

Even if the Young Master punished him for this, he was willing to accept it.

Bai Chaosi sat on the ground, his voice devoid of warmth or anger.

"You may leave. If you defy my orders again, you need not follow me anymore!"

Hearing this, A Cheng retreated, his heart aching.

He knew the Young Master was trying to atone for the grievance Miss Shen Yue had suffered tonight, but even if a debt had to be paid, Miss Shen Yue should be the one to collect it.

What right did they have to vent their anger on the Young Master?

And the Young Master had just let them beat him without fighting back.

He had just checked and found that the Young Master was not just lightly bruised but had also suffered severe internal injuries.

Yet the Young Master had endured the pain without a sound, standing there and taking a beating from that Leopard and lion.

At this thought, he subconsciously glanced toward the unlit tent.

Miss Shen Yue hadn’t come out from beginning to end.

’Does she really not want the Young Master anymore?’

Bai Chaosi forced his severely injured body to its feet, staggering.

He lifted his gaze to Shen Yue’s tent. The extinguished light inside—did that mean the person within was already sleeping peacefully?

At this thought, he clutched his chest and took a difficult step, heading in that direction.

He finally stopped a few meters away from the tent, pausing to gaze silently at it.

Like a knight standing guard in the night.

Except this knight was covered in wounds, a pathetic sight.

Even as the pain in his body reached its peak, he did not fall, just stood there quietly, watching over her.

Time ticked by.

「From the first half of the night until the moon began to fade...」

He finally succumbed to his exhaustion, collapsing to the ground and reverting to his beast form.

Shen Yue’s sleep was both good and bad, all because of a dream.

To be precise, some memory fragments of the original owner of this body had started to surface in her dreams again.

After waking up, she sat on the ground and pieced together the few fragments in her mind.

Then, she rubbed her temples and stepped out of the tent before the children woke up.

As soon as she did, she saw a Nine-tailed Fox, its fur stained red with blood, lying on the ground on the verge of death, clearly having sustained heavy injuries.

Its eyes were closed as if it were asleep. Perhaps due to the pain, it slept restlessly.

It was curled into a ball, with a smear of blood still at the corner of its mouth.

Shen Yue merely gave it a faint glance before looking away.

It wasn’t that she hadn’t heard the commotion outside last night, but what did it have to do with her?

From the moment he sided with that woman last night, his life and death had nothing to do with her.

She took a step, planning to stretch her legs a bit at the break of dawn.

However, a commotion suddenly erupted from the area where the Beastmen were resting.

Huang Ziyue and the others, who had been hidden in the shadows, appeared in a flash.

For the past several days, they had been taking turns standing guard and patrolling the surroundings while Shen Yue slept.

The moment Mu Silin appeared, he saw Bai Chaosi on the ground.

"Why is he still here?"

They all knew what it meant. This fox likely had no intention of giving up on Shen Yue.

The way he hadn’t fought back or talked back when he was beaten and cursed last night showed that he intended to keep pestering Shen Yue.

He was definitely trying to seek Shen Yue’s forgiveness.
