Transmigrating to a Female-Dominated World: Handsome Men Keep Chasing After Me

Chapter 220

The mountain wind howled and rustled.

Through the tears, he could only vaguely see the red figure gradually receding into the distance until it disappeared completely. Only then did Chi Chenyi seem to lose all his strength, collapsing to the ground with his hair hanging messily at his temples. His eyes were empty and lifeless as he stared blankly at the long sword on the ground, motionless.

The demons rushed to his side, but he did not react at all.

"Little Lord."

"Kings!"

Seeing Chi Chenyi's appearance, they were extremely anxious, but dared not say anything for fear of upsetting him.

Chi Chenyi ignored them, slowly reaching out his withered hand to pick up the longsword from the ground. His gaze fell upon his own reflection in the sword, his cheeks sunken, his face haggard, his pupils trembling as he touched his face.

How did he become like this?

He was most proud of his looks, but now he has nothing left.

Chi Chenyi held Jingchen tightly in his arms and laughed silently. Crystal tears rolled down his cheeks. He was hunched over, his bones protruding, and his figure thin. Even though his robes covered his body, he was still clearly visible.

The moment Nalan Jingwen turned to leave, he was like a flower that withered rapidly, losing all vitality and decaying inch by inch.

Hanasaki frowned as he looked at Chi Chenyi's lifeless appearance and then glanced at Yun Jin.

The latter shook his head at him and stood silently behind Chi Chenyi.

No one can help him; he has to save himself.

……

After leaving Phoenix Perch Mountain, Nalan Jingwen did not go to the Heaven and Earth Pavilion, but instead rushed back to Phoenix Heaven. Because the flow of time in the Divine Realm is different from that in the mortal world, it seems that she has only been in the Divine Realm for a short time, but in reality, three months have passed in the mortal world, and Liu Qishan has probably already arrived at the Royal Palace.

She hurried on her journey, braving wind and rain, managing to shorten the trip to one month, and finally arrived in Fengtian Capital late at night.

Although she did not use the main gate, she did not conceal herself and was quickly discovered. To her surprise, the first person to notice her was not Cheng He, but Jing Chi.

Just as Jingchi was about to draw his sword, he froze on the spot, staring blankly at the woman in front of him.

He was dressed in black, which covered his lean waist, making him almost blend into the night. His long sword gleamed with a chilling light.

Nalan Jingwen glanced at the sword in his hand, said nothing, and calmly looked away.

Jingchi seemed to react quickly, immediately kneeling down, his voice filled with barely suppressed excitement, and if you listened carefully, you could also hear a hint of longing in it, "Your Highness."

The night was dark, and he had his head down, so his face was not visible.

Nalan Jingwen couldn't quite describe her feelings for him now, but knowing his identity, she no longer had the same guard up as before. She nodded casually and walked towards Rong Hengyu's courtyard.

Jingchi watched her retreating figure, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes. He lowered his gaze to the sword in his hand, tightened his grip, and followed her.

Hongyun, who was guarding the door, was taken aback when she saw Nalan Jingwen. Then, a smile spread across her face, and she exclaimed excitedly, "Your Highness! You're back?!"

Nalan Jingwen nodded, put his index finger to his lips, and Hongyun understood, stepping aside to make way.

She walked to the door, thought for a moment and then stopped. Instead, she went to the window and opened a small crack, but could clearly see everything inside.

Rong Hengyu lay quietly on the bed with his hands folded. He was usually a very good sleeper, but now his brows were furrowed, as if he was sleeping very restlessly.

He seemed to have lost a lot of weight; his face, which used to be fleshy, now had sharp, angular features.

Nalan Jingwen stood by the bed, gazing at the person on it without speaking, while Hongyun stood respectfully behind her.

She closed the window very quietly, as if afraid of disturbing the person inside, and then turned and went out.

"How is Wang Fu doing lately?"

Hongyun sighed almost imperceptibly and said truthfully, "Ever since learning of your assassination attempt, Wang Fu has been unable to eat or sleep properly. After you disappeared, he ate and slept even worse and even fell seriously ill. In addition, Young Master Pei keeps coming to the mansion to cause trouble, and the people he sent out have not been able to find any news about you. Wang Fu has not had a good night's sleep for a long time and is always awakened by nightmares in the middle of the night."

"He had just recovered from his illness, and it was only after my subordinates and Steward Cheng pleaded with him for a long time that the Prince finally agreed to sleep."

She was the one who had been by Rong Hengyu's side the longest, and she had never seen her young master like this before. There were many things to deal with in the mansion, plus the Prime Minister Rong's affairs. When he got busy, he was like he didn't care about his life. He often kept the lamp burning until late at night and didn't take care of his health. She was afraid that her young master would not be able to wait for the prince to return.

Her young master was always indifferent and rarely showed his emotions, but she could tell that he was worried about the prince.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent wave after wave of people to search, yet each time they found nothing.

Nalan Jing's expression hardened slightly upon hearing her words, but he remained silent.

Rong Hengyu was always steady and considerate of the overall situation. When she was away, he was in charge of the entire palace. With the news of her assassination and disappearance, the palace was in complete chaos. Not only in the palace, but also outside those who were eyeing the palace with covetous eyes, he had to deal with them all. All the affairs fell on his shoulders.

He didn't even have any time for himself, let alone to be sad or upset. Besides, given his personality, he probably wouldn't show his vulnerable side to others; he would swallow everything alone.

It was precisely because of digesting too much on his own that he became depressed and overworked, eventually falling ill.

She owed Rong Hengyu far too much.

"Keep a close watch on the king. If he wakes up, he should come to me."

He had finally fallen asleep, so she couldn't go in at that moment. Rong Hengyu was a light sleeper and was easily awakened.

Hongyun's eyes lit up, and she nodded hurriedly.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

She thought that once Young Master Liu returned, the Prince would no longer care about her young master. But now, hearing these words, she realized that she had misunderstood. The Prince cared about her young master, so everything the young master did was meaningful.

Nalan Jingwen glanced at the black shadow in the corner, said nothing, and went to Liu Qishan's courtyard.

She opened the door and had just walked to the bedside when she saw the person on the bed suddenly open their eyes. In the darkness, the two stared at each other.

"Ah Wen? Is that you?"

Liu Qishan's voice was hoarse from just waking up, and he called out uncertainly.

"Wake you up?"

Upon hearing Nalan Jingwen's voice, Liu Qishan immediately got up and reached out to touch her, his movements so hurried that he almost fell off the bed.

Even though Liu Qishan could see now, Nalan Jingwen was still worried, afraid that he might bump into something, so he quickly caught him and held him in his arms.

"Be careful."

Liu Qishan couldn't see clearly in the dark, so he could only feel his way around. Fortunately, he had done this before, so he was used to it.

Hearing the worry in Nalan Jingwen's voice, he gently rested his head on her shoulder, a tender smile playing on his lips, and said, "I'm fine."

Nalan Jingwen placed a kiss on his forehead and asked, "How did you know it was me?"

"I can smell your scent. As long as it's you, I know it's you."

Nalan Jingwen suddenly remembered that when they were in the cave, Liu Qishan held her hand and placed it on his heart, saying to her, "I am blind. Everyone in the world sees you with their eyes, but I see you with my heart."

Therefore, Liu Qishan could always recognize her immediately, no matter when.

Even if the name has changed and the appearance is no longer the same.
