Falling in Love to Escape the Original Book Plot [BL]-Chapter 137: Demon Plants Forest 16

"They may not dare, but I dare." The man said in a cold voice.

Hearing the voice, Xiao Wan’er looked at the person with a surprised expression.

"Eighth prince." She called.

’Eighth prince?’ Shen Xu looked at the person.

At a glance, the young man was twenty-five years old, and his cultivation was the early stage of the golden core realm.

’He is not as handsome or talented as my brother Yuan.’ The double concluded, looking at Lin Xiang with a proud face.

Seeing the look, Lin Xiang almost rolled his eyes.

After knowing each other for several years, Lin Xiang naturally guessed what Shen Xu was thinking.

However, she didn’t have grounds to refute.

After all, Zhen Yuan was too excellent. Compared to him, no man could withstand scrutiny.

"Why does the eighth prince want to interfere in this matter?" Xiao Wan’er asked, her eyes narrowed into slits.

Although she didn’t want to offend the royal family, she couldn’t allow herself to be bullied.

’My grandfather is not a paper tiger.’ She thought.

"Why can’t I interfere in my wife’s matters?" The man asked, and Lin Xiang groaned in frustration.

Simultaneously, the spectators broke into an uproar.

"What did I just hear?" Someone asked in a confused voice.

"Isn’t the eighth prince a ruthless cultivator? How can he have a wife?"

"Who knows what is going on?"

"Shut up and listen."

Similarly, Shen Xu was shocked and reflexively looked at Lin Xiang.

However, Lin Xiang didn’t dare to meet the double’s eyes and immediately looked away.

After leaving the lakeside, Lin Xiang walked alone for another four months. During that time, she encountered many dangers, but her efforts were not in vain.

Although she didn’t find the level two treasure she wanted, she got a golden dew flower.

Unfortunately, her luck ran out.

Lin Xiang encountered Xiao Wan’er in the middle of the ninth month.

Knowing she and Shen Xu were good friends, Xiao Wan’er attacked her, but she used a teleportation talisman to escape.

However, Lin Xiang soon realised she was poisoned.

Not knowing what to do, she ran around in desperation, looking for a river or ice to cool her body.

Unexpectedly, she didn’t find a river but found a poisoned male cultivator.

That male cultivator was Li Wenqiang, the eighth prince of the Dry Mist Empire.

After detoxifying each other, Lin Xiang secretly left but again met with Xiao Wan’er and her cronies.

’It’s been one thing after the other.’ She sighed.

"Is the eighth prince joking with me?" Xiao Wan’er asked.

After all, everyone in the Dry Mist Empire knew the eighth prince was a ruthless cultivator.

Because of this, the eighth prince was not in line for the throne although he was the most talented among the emperor’s descendants.

"Lin Xiang is my wife." Li Wenqiang confirmed, and Xiao Wan’er gritted her teeth in anger.

However, she soon regained her composure and looked at Lin Xiang with teasing eyes.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, don’t you have something to tell the eighth prince?" She said.

"What do you mean?" Lin Xiang asked in a confused voice.

In an ideal world, Lin Xiang would have wanted to lose her virginity to her Taoist companion.

That said, she and Li Wenqiang didn’t owe anything to each other.

They were just two people who found themselves in an inexplicable situation.

"The eighth prince may not know, but I know everything about you." Xiao Wan’er said.

"Stop beating around the bush." Li Wenqiang urged; his eyebrows creased in a frown.

"Eighth prince, Lin Xiang is not a good woman." Xiao Wan’er said and quickly continued.

"She first married Rong Hao, the third young master of the Rong family. However, she was never satisfied. I heard she escaped while the Rong family was in trouble and didn’t even try to look for her husband. Some say she had something to do with the Rong family’s downfall."

"After Rong Hao died, she immediately married Song Wancheng, the young master of the Myriad Treasures Pavillion. However, that marriage didn’t last either. Song Wancheng disappeared a while back, and Lin Xiang married her third husband." While saying that, Xiao Wan’er looked at Zhen Yuan.

"He is her third husband." She said.

When the words fell, Shen Xu narrowed his eyes, and Lin Xiang gasped in shock.

"Xiao Wan’er, have you lost your mind? Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu are Taoist companions. How can I marry Zhen Yuan?" Lin Xiang asked in an angry voice.

However, Xiao Wan’er sneered and didn’t take her words seriously.

"Isn’t it normal for men to have three wives and four concubines?" She asked.

"Zhen Yuan is not like that. He would never marry a second wife or concubine." Lin Xiang said, turning to Shen Xu.

"Shen Xu, I have not done anything to let you down." She said in a solemn voice, but the double only smiled without saying anything.

Seeing this, Lin Xiang panicked and wanted to continue pleading.

However, an indifferent voice interrupted her.

"I have heard three wrong things." Zhen Yuan suddenly said, and without waiting for others to react, he continued.

"First, Lin Xiang had nothing to do with the downfall of the Rong family. The elders of the Rong family died because they were greedy. Unfortunately, they overestimated themselves when they tried to rob me." Zhen Yuan smiled.

"Second, Lin Xiang is right. Other people can marry three wives and four concubines, but I only love Shen Xu. I will never marry a second person."

"Third..." This time, Zhen Yuan looked at the eighth prince.

"The eighth prince said we don’t dare to kill Xiao Wan’er, but he is wrong." Zhen Yuan said, smiling at Xiao Wan’er.

"I have never intended to let you leave the Demon Plants Forest." He said.

"You..." Xiao Wan’er roared, and Shen Xu chuckled before turning to Lin Xiang.

"Lin Xiang, what are you thinking?" He asked.

"What do you mean?" Lin Xiang asked in a confused voice.

"Why did you try to explain to me?"

"Because..." Lin Xiang started, but Shen Xu interrupted her.

"Do you think I am stupid? Would I believe such nonsense?" Shen Xu said, proudly raising his chin.

"Also, I am so perfect. Why would my brother Yuan look at flawed people?"

Hearing this, Lin Xiang sighed.

’I should have known.’ She thought.
