[TCFO] Arc 3 – Chapter 133
The Vicious Princess Wants to Reverse Fate (27)
Shangguan Qi and Zhou Min had maintained their distance for the past two days. Except for the morning after that night when they communicated, every time Zhou Min initiated a conversation, he responded with a cold and indifferent attitude, dismissing her. However, the guarded defence that kept people at a distance had diminished significantly.
After two days of heavy rain, the jungle’s climate had become unusually volatile. Today, however, was a rare and beautiful day with the sun shining brightly. Shangguan Qi and Zhou Min decided it was an excellent time to set out.
Exiting the cave, they were met with endless towering trees, thick and dense. Sunlight penetrated through the canopy of giant trees that seemed to have no end, adding a peculiar tranquillity to the dark-toned jungle landscape.
Zhou Min and Shangguan Qi headed north from the cave, searching for the swift river. Finding it would lead them to an escape route downstream.
Due to Zhou Min, Shangguan Qi’s martial arts had not recovered, and his internal injuries could not heal independently. He relied solely on herbs for recovery. In this perilous jungle, his lack of martial arts made him unable to fight for an extended period.
Therefore, he stayed within the cave while collecting herbs, resulting in a slow recovery.
After walking for half a day in the afternoon, Shangguan Qi took out the prepared food to share with Zhou Min. When he looked up through the gaps in the leaves, gazing at the sky, he furrowed his brow. “How far is the river you found from here?”
“Not far. Another hour, and we’ll get there!” Zhou Min took a bite of a blood-red fruit, its vivid juice splattering. Her lips became even more translucent. His gaze darkened as Shangguan Qi glanced at her, unconsciously licking her lips.
Then, nonchalantly turning away, he calmly responded, “We need to reach the riverbank before dark!” When Shangguan Qi thought the time was about right, he stood up and said to Zhou Min, looking up at the suddenly towering figure in front of her, momentarily unable to react. Wasn’t he sitting down?
Looking at Zhou Min, who seemed lost while staring at him, he, standing tall above her, looked at the fiery figure sitting amidst the green leaves. The quiet and ancient jungle, entwined with vines and old trees, enhanced Zhou Min’s beauty, making her stunning and enchanting.
Perhaps because of his convenient position, he could see the full and tender whiteness hidden in the fiery tube top and the lingering green and purple marks that hadn’t completely disappeared. It made his heart skip a beat.
That was his masterpiece. He thought he had long forgotten, but not only did his memory prove eerie, but his body also vividly remembered her soft moans and helpless charm beneath him, as well as the beauty of that body.
However, in these past few days, he forced himself not to dwell on these memories.
Turning around, Shangguan Qi felt an evil fire gathering in his lower body. But he suppressed it with his strong reason. After a deep breath, he calmly said, “Ready to go?”
“Yes, let’s go!” When Zhou Min stood up, distracted by the tangled vines on the ground, she exclaimed, “Ah!” Amid her dancing hands and feet, she instinctively reached around from behind and hugged the towering Shangguan Qi.
Because of Zhou Min’s previous distraction, the person behind him, somewhat annoyed by her actions, had intended to turn around subconsciously. However, the person behind him moved faster, directly hugging Shangguan Qi from behind.
Zhou Min grabbed the front of Shangguan Qi’s clothes with her left hand and tried to embrace his waist with her right hand to stabilise herself. However, she always forgot that her right hand was utterly powerless. So, when her right hand naturally slipped from his waist, Shangguan Qi suddenly reached out to help hold up that limp right hand.
But whether it was her misfortune or Shangguan Qi’s misfortune, right at that moment, when Shangguan Qi held her right hand, it happened to slip down to his private area.
Shangguan Qi’s large hand covered her. She felt Shangguan Qi’s whole body stiffen, and the initially slightly hard giant suddenly trembled in her right hand, showing signs of rising.
Both were taken aback, but at this moment, Shangguan Qi felt the round and soft chest behind him, heavily hitting his back. The thin fabric of his clothes made him aware that those two red pearls seemed to have hardened!
The phallus swelled even more, and whether it was her misunderstanding or not, Zhou Min felt like the hand holding her right hand seemed to press harder on the private area. The hot and hard pulsating sensation in her palm and the burning temperature on Shangguan Qi’s palm made Zhou Min awkward.
Should she pull it out or not? Or had she already pulled it out...
Knowing this would happen, she wouldn’t struggle and tumble around, directly embracing the earth, ending it all, and it wouldn’t be so embarrassing not knowing what to do next...
When Zhou Min didn’t know what to do, Shangguan Qi suddenly let go and pulled her hand away, quickly striding forward. His actions seemed anxious and rushed, and Zhou Min couldn’t react in time because of his sudden behaviour.
Hearing the loud noise from behind, Shangguan Qi, who was in front, paused slightly, then turned around to see Zhou Min lying on the ground with two or three pieces of dried leaves on her head. He couldn’t help but laugh.
Zhou Min heard the faint laughter not far away, raised her head, and saw the unmistakable smile in the deep jungle, seemingly carrying an inexorable ambiguous warmth, like the enchanting sunlight of a spring day, captivating and making her unconsciously speak, “Actually, you should smile more!”
Realising her indiscretion, Zhou Min looked at the ground, lost in thought. Shangguan Qi, who heard the laughter behind him, pulled back the corners of his mouth, concealing the smile and reverting to his cold and indifferent demeanour. His tone flattened, “Get up. It’s time to go.”
Afterwards, he ignored her and walked straight ahead. Still, in a bit of a mess, Zhou Min scrambled to her feet. However, the awkwardness of the recent tumble dissipated with that fall.
Walking side by side in the jungle, Shangguan Qi’s peripheral vision glanced over. Seeing the leaves still scattered on her head, he couldn’t help but subtly curl his lips again. Although faint enough to be mistaken for an illusion, his eyes were no longer icy and calm. There was something else, though subtle.
