Ben Wang Zai Ci / The Legend of Shen Li

Chapter 29 All About Mo Fang

That night, Shen Li's body became increasingly hot, and she could hardly open her eyes. Rouya fed her water and put a towel on her, but it didn't work. She couldn't help but feel anxious. She had been serving Shen Li for so long and she had never encountered such a situation. Even if she was seriously injured, Shen Li's consciousness was still clear, Rouya was at a loss and thought that there were still two immortals living in the palace at this time.

It's just that it's inappropriate to invite Shen Jun Xing Zhi in the middle of the night. Since Furong Jun is engaged to Shen Li, there's no harm in asking him to come over. Rouya thought about it and hurriedly ran to Furong Jun's yard, but after knocking on the door for a long time she still didn't see him coming out. Rouya was so panicked that she went to find Xing Zhi.

By the time Xing Zhi came, Shen Li's cheeks were already red. With a solemn expression, he sat beside Shen Li's bed, stretched out his hand to feel her pulse, but frowned strangely.

"Sir, what happened to my Lord?"

"Nothing strange, just a simple fever." Xing Zhi let go of her hand and asked, "Are there any medicinal materials in the house?"

Rouya shook her head: "Her Lordship never gets sick, and people in the demon world rarely get sick. In the past, when herbs were common in the demon world, they were sold outside. After the miasma became stronger, there were no herbs for sale."

Xing Zhi pondered, and then put his palm on Shen Li's forehead. White light flashed in his palm. Shen Li, who was dizzy from the fever, seemed to feel a little more comfortable. She unconsciously rubbed it on his palm. Xing Zhi's eyes were unconscious. With a soft movement, without moving his hand, his little finger quietly touched her hairline and smoothed back a few stray hairs.

Rouya stared closely for a while and found that Shen Li's breathing gradually became more even, and she felt much better indeed. Then her anxious heart was relieved, and then she inevitably complained a little: "Shenjun, what kind of husband betrothed to my Lord is he?" She pouted and said, "He has already stayed out all night before they got married, and he didn't come to see her. What if Shenjun is not here today? Her Lordship's illness has been delayed."

Xing Zhi didn't say anything, but the palm he placed on Shen Li's forehead quietly fell to her cheek, and his fingertips gently rubbed her cheek, which was still slightly hot, without saying a word.

"Yesterday, something happened, and Her Lordship's reputation was damaged. This morning, he took a jade pendant and said he was going to see General Mo Fang. Humph, who knows if he went to find General Mo Fang!" Rouya was still talking about Furong Jun. She was dissatisfied, but she didn't dare to offend him before because her master was away. 

Now that she had someone to support her, she complained out her anger and worries, "This is still in the devil world. In the future, Her Lordship will marry into the heaven world, and she will have no relatives. She will still have to suffer. How many grievances have been made, Her Lordship has a stubborn temper, and if she is wronged in the future, she will definitely not tell the Demon Lord. At that time..." Rouya thought more and more seriously, her eyes turned red, and she was about to cry, "At that time, who would care for her? I feel bad."

"Yes." Xing Zhi murmured unconsciously, "Who would not feel sad."

However, these words were like a sharp stone accidentally scratching his skin, scratching his cheek and causing him to lower his eyes slightly. Staring at Shen Li's sleeping face, he ran his fingertips across Shen Li's cheeks, eyebrows, and bridge of nose, touching them one by one before retracting his hand.

"It's nothing serious." He let his fingertips leave the smooth skin and stayed silent on the bed for a long time before standing up.

Rouya was afraid that Shen Li's condition would relapse, so she stared at him nervously: "Where is Shenjun going?"
