The Demon Concubine of God

Chapter 378 Replacement and Escape

Lord Shen, whose family was in trouble, kept repeating one thing to Chu Yanqiu, saying that Shen Wen was a monster.

Chu Yanqiu was too lazy to waste time on him, so he picked up his sword and searched the abandoned places in the Shen family until he was sure that Shen Wen was not in the Shen family. Only then did he leave the Shen family's territory with peace of mind.

He had just left the Shen residence with his men when he discovered a man who looked very similar to Shen Wen not far away. The man was hiding timidly in the corner of the street, half of his body sticking out, looking at Chu Yanqiu and the others.

Chu Yanqiu, who was sitting on his horse, leaped over and flew in front of the man. He grabbed the man and checked him. He found that it was indeed Shen Wen.

He couldn't help but ask excitedly: "Why are you hiding here? Are you okay? What's going on?"

He had just finished speaking when he realized there was another person nearby. He suddenly turned around to look at that person.

It turned out to be his third brother Ji Zichu.

It was the first time that Ji Zichu saw Chu Yanqiu so alert and cautious, so Ji Zichu called him "Second Brother".

Ji Zichu saw that he was holding Shen Wen too tightly, causing Shen Wen's face to twist. Ji Zichu tried to pull Chu Yanqiu's hand and said, "Brother, if you have anything to say, just talk to me. Let Shen Wen go first. Can't you see that he is in great pain?"

Chu Yanqiu realized it later, but he did not let go of his hand. He just loosened the strength in his hand a lot.

Ji Zichu said, "I just found Shen Wen at the back wall of the abandoned Shen family house. His whole body looked like he was dug out of the soil. He looked dazed as if he had been stimulated by something. When he saw me, he begged me to take him away and kept asking me to take him to find you. You see, he is still panicking now."

Chu Yanqiu then looked Shen Wen up and down and found that he was indeed covered in mud. Except for his face which was clean, the rest of his body really looked like it was dug out of mud.

In front of him, Shen Wen was like a child who had just returned from running away from home. Not only was he unusually quiet and well-behaved, but his eyes were also glued to him, as if he was seeking his comfort.

Chu Yanqiu held Shen Wen in his arms and comforted him, then asked, "Were you captured and taken back to the Shen family by Lord Shen's blood talisman? Where did you hide when the Shen family was in trouble just now? Were you captured and thrown into the dungeon by Lord Shen? How did you escape?"

His words seemed to touch Shen Wen's heart. He nodded to confirm Chu Yanqiu's guess. He said, "After I escaped from the woodshed in the chaos, I hid from the servants and ran away. I was crushed by a wall that suddenly collapsed. Fortunately, I was not crushed badly and was buried under the soil. Later, I finally got out of the soil and escaped..." Halfway through his words, he started crying as if he had survived a disaster.

Chu Yanqiu felt even more distressed and hugged him tighter.

Ji Zichu said, "Let's go quickly. This is not a place to stay for long. Fortunately, I heard that something happened to the Shen family. Fortunately, I arrived in time and just happened to meet Shen Wen. I heard that the Shen residence was attacked. I don't know how powerful the group is. Let's ignore it and go home first."

When Chu Yanqiu thought of the power of those blood talismans, he nodded and picked up Shen Wen. He suddenly thought of something and said to Shen Wen, "Where are your two powerful helpers? Why aren't they protecting you?"

Shen Wen said: "Puzhao Land was lured away by a few blood talismans. I have no idea what they are doing now."

Chu Yanqiu instructed Chihe behind him, "Go around the capital and search to see if you can find them."

Chu Yanqiu and Ji Zichu brought Shen Wen back to Duke Ji's Mansion.

On the top floor of a restaurant not far from where they had just left, another Shen Wen was standing behind the window, taking in everything.

Puzhao and Dadi followed behind him. Puzhao said, "We have successfully lurked beside that person. What should we do next, leader?"

Shen Wen turned around and thought: "Wait and see if this substitute can pass the test."

Since discovering the purpose of the various forces associated with Shen Wen, Shen Wen found a substitute, Jesse, and decided to let him replace him and deal with things in the open, while he retreated into the dark and waited for an opportunity to act.

Although Jesse's personality is completely different from his own, their concepts are the same. After all, they both traveled through time from the modern era. The reason why Chu Yanqiu keeps pestering Shen Wen is because he is different from other ancient people. He is not bound by secular concepts and aristocratic ethics. The two sides have a huge gap in status, power and identity, but they are always equal when standing together. Shen Wen is even higher than Chu Yanqiu, which always makes Chu Yanqiu unable to figure him out.

Before placing Jesse next to Chu Yanqiu, Shen Wen specifically analyzed all these with Jesse and told him to just be himself in front of Chu Yanqiu, without having to perform or imitate anyone deliberately, and the most important thing was to take the lead, and both sides should be led by themselves, and not be a vassal to Chu Yanqiu, because that stinky man is a masochist at heart.

Jesse stared with half-believing and half-doubting eyes, and nodded unsatisfactorily, but in his heart he had already cursed all the ancestors of Shen Wen! If he hadn't been unable to beat the two people from Puzhao Dadi, if he hadn't been unable to escape the search range of the two mecha warriors from Puzhao Dadi, he would have stripped naked and found a rat hole to sneak away. Wouldn't he be good? It would be fine to ask him to be hypocritical with a man, but the key is that he is a man who is more cunning than a human, a man with terrifying strength that can kill people with a glare.

Shen Wen cleared his throat and continued, "In addition, there is the little emperor. When you are with the emperor, you should not be so high and mighty in front of him. After all, he is the ruler of a country, and the etiquette between the ruler and his subjects must be observed, except for that..."

Jesse looked at him and asked something, his mouth twitching.

Shen Wen said: "The emperor is taking extra care of you, but he doesn't appreciate you, do you understand? He wants to trick you into bed and do that... understand?"

Jesse is dead!!!

He held up two fingers in front of his eyes and said, "Two men?"

Shen Wen waved his hands and said, "Maybe... maybe there is also a Prince Rui? In fact, he... is also greedy for your body."

This time it was Jesse's turn to feel uncomfortable in his throat. He grunted a few words, nodded calmly...then turned around suddenly and ran away...

But it's not fast enough after all.

The big hand stretched out by the earth easily grabbed the back of the collar and brought him back.

Shen Wen looked at him like a silly, harmless puppy. He stroked his chin and thought for a while before saying, "He seems to be missing something."

Puzhao asked him what was missing.

Shen Wen said: "In order to make the role more realistic, I think it would be more appropriate for him to be injured a little."

The earth understood immediately.

Jesse, who was hastily arranged like this, gnashed his teeth and wanted to bite them twice, and blurted out: "I say hello to your whole family!"

When Dadi poked him in the neck, his eyes rolled back and he fell backwards, instantly withering. Dadi stretched out his index finger with long nails, looking very proud. There was a bee tail needle filled with anesthetic under his finger. It would knock a person down in less than three seconds after poking into the skin. This device was imitated by Dr. Dazuo from Shen Wen, because Shen Wen liked to hide poison in his nails.

Dadi silently carried the unconscious Jesse to the ruins outside the marquis' mansion. He punched the ground, overturned the soil and covered Jesse with it. Only then did Ji Zichu's heroic rescue scene appear.

Shen Wen withdrew from the restaurant window and turned back to Pu Zhao Da Di and said, "I will make an appointment with someone later. I have some questions to ask, but I am worried about Jesse. Now Chu Yanqiu also knows that you are with me. In this case, I think you should stay with Jesse for a few days."

Pu Zhao said: "What about you? What if you encounter a blood talisman when you go to a dangerous place?"

Shen Wen smiled and said, "Send more people. Anyway, there are new robot warriors in the weapon space. I just don't know if they are easy to use."

Dadi said, "Then let's separate. I want to stay with the leader and don't want to come into contact with anyone here."

Pu Zhao said, "Jesse doesn't need the two of us to protect him. Your newly manufactured robot warriors are not yet able to establish a connection with us. We will not be able to rest assured without information about your whereabouts."

Shen Wen snapped his fingers and said, "That's it. Dadi will stay with me, and Puzhao will protect Jesse in secret."

Probably after lunch, when the guests who had come to the restaurant to consume had left and it was very quiet, a breeze swept through a south-facing window on the second floor. If someone looked towards the window, they would see a flash of white light, and an unknown object passed through the window and into the side room.

Shen Wen held the teacup and sipped the tea slowly and leisurely. The sweet tea soup was steaming and splashed on Shen Wen's face, making his eyes slightly tipsy.

Shen Wen smiled and said, "Are you here? I ordered a pot of good tea. Why don't you sit down and taste it together?"

As soon as Shen Wen finished his words, a figure suddenly appeared on the empty brocade stool opposite him. The figure was wearing a plain robe and looked very graceful.

The man looked at his heartless laughter and snorted, "You just destroyed the old man's nest. I thought you knew it, but you are still the same little fool as before. You still have the heart to laugh at this time? What do you want me to do? Maybe you have caused too much trouble this time, so you want me to help you clean up your mess?"

The man who calls himself the Immortal King is the third father Tong Ming of the West Palace.

Shen Wen smiled and said, "What's wrong with asking you to clean up my mess? When I was a kid and needed your help, you were beaten beyond recognition by that old demon Xin Xuan. You all just focused on yourselves and practiced, not caring about my life or death. If it weren't for the fallen demon fairy Shiya who secretly protected me, I would have turned into mud long ago. Do you have the nerve to lose your temper with me now?"

Tong Ming looked at him in surprise and said, "You know all about the grievances we had to endure back then? Did Fairy Shiya tell you this? What else did she tell you? Let me tell you, she has transformed into a demon fairy now, and she is not as approachable as you appear on the surface. You must not get too close to her, otherwise you will eventually become a demon, do you understand?"

Shen Wen shook his head.

Tong Ming didn't believe it and looked at him in confusion.

Shen Wen said: "I also have eyes, and I can see with my eyes."

Tong Ming looked him up and down and asked, "You? Then tell me, what else can you see?"

Shen Wen looked at Tong Ming very seriously and said, "The one sitting on the dragon chair is an old man with a new heart."

Tong Ming's originally lazy demeanor immediately became serious.
