Chapter 92, Past Life Part 19 (Disliked)

After dealing with Shen Yingsi, Shen Yannan was in a great mood. However, the fact that Shen Yingsi was still alive made it difficult to figure out what to do with him in the future.

As soon as Shen Yannan stepped into the study, a throwing knife flew towards him. The knife flew extremely fast, but it only passed by his ear.

Cut off a few strands of his hair.

"Shen Yannan, what do you mean?"

Wen Li stepped out from behind the bookshelf and questioned him sternly, her delicate face full of anger.

Shen Yannan was very happy to see her: "Ali! You're here."

Shen Yannan stepped forward to hug Wen Li, but a sword blocked his chest. The red ribbon on the sword was a gift from him.

"I'm asking you, what was the meaning of that imperial edict?"

Shen Yannan knew that Wen Li was angry, so he patiently explained, "If I marry you and you become the Crown Princess, I can rightfully pardon the Jiang family's crimes."

Wen Li frowned slightly, her tone sarcastic: "The Jiang family's crime? Shen Yannan, is the Jiang family guilty?"

Shen Yannan's expression turned serious: "Ali, I checked the case files from back then, and there's nothing wrong with the Jiang family's case. We have witnesses and physical evidence, and there's absolutely no possibility of overturning the verdict."

"You fart!"

Upon hearing this, Wen Li immediately kicked Shen Yannan.

"I said the Jiang family is innocent, and they are definitely innocent! Don't you believe me?"

Shen Yannan took a few steps back and said, "Ali, of course I believe you. I said I would help you. When we get back to the capital, I will personally show you the file."

"really?"

Seeing her determined expression, Shen Yannan felt helpless: "Ali, I won't lie to you."

I hope that after you see those files, you will finally give up.

Wen Li rolled her eyes at him, then walked to the table and poured herself a cup of tea.

Shen Yannan sat down opposite her and said, "I've been so busy these days, we haven't seen each other in ages. This is Ali's first time in Danli, so I'll show you around. Otherwise, in a few days, Danli won't be a place we can come to whenever we want."

Wen Li was still angry; she drank her tea and barely paid him any attention.

Shen Yannan put his head on the table and made a funny face in an attempt to make Wen Li laugh.

Seeing his reaction, Wen Li remained calm and said, "Shen Yannan, I will support whatever you do. Because we are the only ones who stand by each other in this world, so if you don't trust me, don't lie to me."

Seeing Wen Li's serious expression, Shen Yannan answered her earnestly as well.

“I believe you, of course I believe you, Ali. But you weren’t even born when the Jiang family case happened, there was no evidence, so it’s hard for us to overturn the case. Besides, the case involves too many things, I’m worried you might get hurt.”

“I’m not afraid of getting hurt at all, just like you dare to associate with demons.”

Wen Li looked at the person in front of her and felt a little disappointed. He didn't believe her at all and just wanted to help her.

Wen Li turned her back to Shen Yannan, no longer wanting to speak.

"Ali, don't be angry, I didn't mean it. I was just afraid of disappointing you. I swear I believe every word you say. Please don't ignore me, my little darling."

Just then, someone knocked on the door. Shen Yannan quickly sat up straight and said with a cold face, "Come in."

Yun Hao walked to Shen Yannan's side and hesitated before glancing at Wen Li.

Shen Yannan spoke up: "Just say what you have to say. There are no outsiders here."

"My lord, Lord Jiuying has given orders that we must deal with Shen Yingsi properly. He also said that the gods of the heavens may come to his rescue, and we must find a place to hide him and not let him make a comeback."

Shen Yannan felt a headache coming on when he heard this.

Where should they lock him up? Although Shen Yingsi is now a cripple, if a god were to come and save him, how could they possibly keep him locked up?

"Why not just throw him into Ghost Valley?"

Wen Li suddenly spoke up, and Shen Yannan looked at her, realizing what was going on.

"The demons have been imprisoned in Ghost Valley for many years, and countless demons have died there. The demonic energy and resentment inside are not something that immortals can easily enter. This is indeed a good place! Ah Li is indeed clever."

Yun Hao nodded: "Then I'll go and select a few demon hunters and throw the person down now."

"Wait a minute, don't throw him down so easily. Pick a few skilled demon hunters and see if they can kill him. If they can't kill him, they'll make him die a few more times."

"Yes!"

Wen Li listened to their conversation with a blank expression, but her hand holding the teacup tightened involuntarily.

Yun Hao turned to leave, but seeing that he had already stepped outside, Wen Li suddenly spoke up: "Wait a minute, shall I do it?"

Shen Yannan and Yun Hao both turned to look at Wen Li. Wen Li took a sip of her tea and said calmly, "I'm just curious, how can there be someone who can't be killed?"

"Okay, then Ali will come."

The empty dungeon was dark and damp, with puddles of water and blood everywhere. The entire environment was eerily quiet.

A pair of shoes with gold thread outlines on their uppers found themselves in a place where it was difficult to find a place to put their feet.

Wen Mingzhu walked carefully, lifting the hem of her skirt.

"Miss Wen, please don't stay too long, or you'll be easily discovered."

The guard at the gate, clutching the spirit stone in his hand, gave him a tense warning.

"Okay, I'll just say a few words. You can leave now, I'll go in by myself."

"Okay then. Remember to come out quickly!"

"understood."

Wen Mingzhu was a little nervous. She straightened her appearance, took a deep breath, and walked into the dungeon where Shen Yingsi was.

Shen Yingsi's hands were suspended by iron chains. His hair was messy, and he had horns that curved backward on his head. The wings on his back were huge, almost twice the size of his body.

At this moment, he was hanging down to the ground, and Wen Mingzhu could not see his face clearly.

She tentatively asked, "Fourth Brother?"

Seeing that the man did not respond, Wen Mingzhu took a few steps forward and continued, "Fourth brother, it's me, Mingzhu. I know you must have been harmed by villains, and I've come to save you."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yingsi suddenly raised his head.

Wen Mingzhu was startled when she suddenly saw his face. She took a few steps back, stepped into a puddle, and accidentally fell in.

How could that possibly be the Crown Prince she had admired since childhood?

This is clearly a monster!

His face was covered in scales, his teeth were sharp, his eyes were red, and his gaze was cold and hostile.

Wen Mingzhu swallowed hard, suppressing her fear: "Fourth brother, don't be afraid, I will definitely find a way to help you turn back."

Wen Mingzhu stood up, trying to approach cautiously. Shen Yingsi's expression grew increasingly terrifying; as soon as Wen Mingzhu got close, he roared at her, "Get out of my way!"

The entire dungeon echoed with the loud clanging of chains once again.

Shen Yingsi bared his fangs, exuding a fierce aura. His hands were bound with iron chains, making him look like a caged wild beast.

Wen Mingzhu was startled by him, but when she came to her senses, she felt angry.

"Fourth brother, I've come to save you!"

She suppressed her anger and approached, but as soon as she got close to the chain, it was swung into her hand.

Wen Mingzhu gasped in pain, her fair and delicate hands immediately turning red, then quickly turning bluish-purple.

"Shen Yingsi, can't you get your facts straight? The Xie family and your mother are all dead! You've become a monster, and now everyone in this world curses you to a terrible death. Only I will help you! You're no longer the Shen Yingsi that everyone loves! I'm the only one in this world who loves you, the only one who stands by your side!"

"Go away!"

Shen Yingsi roared, his eyes filled with disgust. Yes, disgust, not just the indifference of the past, but utter loathing. His gaze pierced Wen Mingzhu's heart like a knife.

"Let me tell you, I am the eldest daughter of the Wen family, the sole heir of the world's number one demon-hunting family. But to save you, I broke with my father and used everything I had to come here to save you. No one in this world loves you more than I do! We grew up together, and now that you're in trouble, only I am helping you. Why can't you like me? What right do you have not to like me?"

Wen Mingzhu was trembling all over, and even cried out of anger. She couldn't understand why Shen Yingsi was treating her like this.

Shen Yingsi found it utterly ridiculous to look at the sad face in front of him.

"Wen Mingzhu, is my affection so cheap to you? You didn't like me when I was in a high position, but now that I'm down on my luck, you suddenly like me?"

A tear rolled down Wen Mingzhu's cheek: "What?"

The demonic poison within Shen Yingsi's body was starting to flare up, but he forced himself to suppress it.

"What I mean is, I like someone whether they're rich or poor. But you, I don't like, neither then nor now. So can you get out now?"

"Shen Yingsi, you will regret this!"

Wen Mingzhu watched him harden her heart and turn to leave. Without her to save him, who else in this world would care about him?
