169: Chapter 169 My Beloved Concubine Can Be Taken at Any Time

The moment the purple halo lit up around him,

Su Chen knew.

This time, he had won the gamble again.

Secret Tip Number Two from the Galgame Master, Little Xiao Chen:

If the conquest progress is hindered, you can appropriately use a bit of self-injury to gain sympathy!

And so, our master Su Xiao Chen,

With a 'just as planned' smile,

Simply fell backward with the momentum.

He closed both eyes, pretending to be unconscious as he lay on the lap pillow that had long been prepared for him.

Bang!

Boom!

Loud noises echoed repeatedly, and dust soared into the sky.

But thanks to Su Chen's timely commands, everyone's desperate self-rescue efforts, and Su Daji's final intervention,

The landslide did not cause large-scale casualties.

Only a few people were grazed by flying stones, and the reservoir foundation was partially buried by falling rocks rather than being completely destroyed.

As the dust settled, the shaken laborers supported each other, looking at Su Chen who stood at the edge of the ruins, his arm bleeding yet his back still straight.

Their eyes were filled with the relief of having survived a disaster and a near-pious reverence.

"The Great King saved us!"

"Long live the King! Long live the Queen Consort!"

The shouts rang out again, more enthusiastic and sincere than before.

Su Daji's small hands trembled slightly as she pulled back Su Chen's clothing; ignoring her shyness, her jade-like fingers carrying spiritual energy tapped lightly on several of the most serious wounds.

She gave a charming, sidelong glance at several female physicians who tried to come over to treat Su Chen, while her heart was in a mess as she sized up this 'heavily injured and unconscious' tyrant before her.

His face looked so pale.

Is he going to die?

No, I must save him first and then find a chance to kill him, otherwise won't my mission fail?

But at the thought of this, Su Daji was at a loss again.

In all these years, she had only learned how to kill people.

No one had ever told her how to save someone...

A kind-hearted female physician nearby reminded her.

"The King looks a bit blood-deficient. Queen Consort, why don't you try..."

Blood-deficient?

Su Daji's heart was in a frantic rush; she hastily took out the dagger she had prepared to assassinate Su Chen from her pocket.

She bit her red lip lightly with her silver teeth.

Steeling her heart,

She cut a slit on that scallion-white jade finger.

Then she slowly put her finger into Su Chen's mouth.

Su Chen felt Su Daji's blood slowly flowing into his mouth and couldn't help but be stunned.

"Stupid ancient people... they really have no medical common sense at all."

But this vixen's blood is sweet and actually tastes quite good.

Su Chen smacked his lips, and his originally pale face became a bit more ruddy to suit the occasion.

Su Daji was slightly excited to see this method working, but the female physician nearby started giving other suggestions again.

"Queen Consort, I have another good suggestion."

"Back when my man went to the battlefield, he was also heavily injured and lost too much blood, lying in bed."

"At that time, there was nothing nutritious at home to feed him, and it just so happened that I had just given birth."

"So, I squeezed some..."

"Ah!"

Hearing this, Su Daji let out a soft cry, and her pretty face instantly turned mostly red.

"Don't say any more!"

On one hand, she had just felt Su Chen's tongue seem to vaguely lick her finger earlier.

On the other hand, what the female physician said was simply too stimulating.

She was still an innocent maiden of the Hehuan Sect who had never experienced such things; where would she get that kind of thing to feed Su Chen?

But it was normal.

In their eyes, she and Su Chen had probably already had two or three children in private.

She didn't notice,

That Su Chen, in her arms, had his eyes slightly squinted now.

His gaze swept over the cliff that had just collapsed.

Finally, it landed on an inconspicuous, long-dilapidated Earth God Temple at the entrance of the valley.

...

That night, in the main tent of the camp.

Su Chen's wounds had been properly bandaged.

He dismissed his attendants, leaving only Su Daji to serve as his personal guard.

The candlelight in the tent was bright, reflecting his face which was as calm as water.

"Go, bring the temple priest of that Earth God Temple... here."

Su Chen gave the order calmly, placing special emphasis on the word 'bring' as a polite invitation.

The guard took the order and left.

The moonlight was like water, spilling into the camp tent.

Neither of them spoke.

Su Daji's small hands gently brushed over several of Su Chen's bandaged wounds, her face showing no particular expression.

She looked up, only to meet his eyes which were filled with a half-smile.

"Beloved Consort..."

"Don't you need to explain something to me?"

"Ugh..."

Su Daji's pretty face turned red again.

Her delicate body couldn't help but shrink back slightly, and a bit more alertness appeared in her fox-like eyes.

Seeing Su Daji's defensive posture as if facing an enemy, Su Chen couldn't help but be between laughter and tears.

"Beloved Consort, don't be nervous."

"I am not here to interrogate you."

"Your cultivation, I have seen it."

"Your intention in feeding me blood, I have also seen it."

"You did very well; you not only protected me but also protected my people and the reservoir."

"Why do you feel that I would blame you?"

Hearing this, Su Daji suddenly didn't know how to react.

She just lowered her head slightly.

With her hands crossed, the two large mounds on her chest swayed slightly.

"But Great King..."

"You didn't know I was a cultivator before."

"I hid my identity and stayed by your side for so long only to be seen through by you; do you really not blame me at all?"

Su Chen just smiled.

"Why should I blame you?"

"Demon Concubine Su Daji, I have only one principle when judging people: I only look at what she does, not who she actually is."

"As long as you are still that Beloved Consort who stays by my side,"

"No matter what your identity is,"

"I will love you."

After saying that,

He reached out and wrapped his arm around Su Daji's waist, which was slenderer than a water snake.

With one pull, he pulled her into his arms.

The layer of light gauze Su Daji was wearing was almost no different from being naked.

At this moment, she was pulled into Su Chen's arms, sitting astride between Su Chen's legs.

Her delicate body was pressed tightly against Su Chen's bare upper body, which was exposed to facilitate wound healing.

Feeling the robust physique beneath her and his massive build (yes, not a typo), her breathing couldn't help but become a bit frantic.

Her eyes also became misty.

She reached out her jade-like hand.

Her nails, painted with crimson, brushed across the position of Su Chen's heart.

"Great King..."

"Tell me, what if I were actually an assassin sent by an enemy country?"

"Lurking by your side, pretending to be in love with you."

"Only for the day when I can personally take your life."

"If it were truly like that,"

"Would you... still let me go?"

Her voice became more and more seductive, and she deliberately lowered her head, acting like a pitiful sight that would evoke anyone's sympathy.

At this moment, Su Chen felt that he could no longer suppress his 'gun'.

Damn it!

No wonder they say ancient kings wouldn't attend morning court.

What king could withstand this kind of vixen!

Before she had completely finished speaking,

Su Daji felt,

A large hand wrap around her snowy wrist.

Su Chen forcefully pulled her jade hand to his left chest, holding his breath and focusing his mind.

He motioned for her to feel his heartbeat.

"Beloved Consort..."

"My heart is right here."

"If you want it, you can come and take it anytime."
