Transmigrated into the Scum Female Consort - Chapter 55

Wait a moment. How long had they even known each other? That couldn’t be right.

Yun Chi composed herself, her breathing unconsciously slowing down: “Is it out of gratitude, or do you truly have… those kinds of feelings for me?”

The late autumn night was already very cold, and the wind in the wilderness was fierce.

Ye Xuejin’s heartbeat also slowed down. As if thinking of something unbelievable, her eyes gradually deepened.

Could it be that I overthought things, and the Royal Consort never had any intention of staying with me?

But the Royal Consort has treated me so sincerely, helped me so much. The Royal Consort clearly said she wouldn’t leave me.

How could it be that I overthought things?

In a trance, Ye Xuejin’s heart felt like it had been struck by a heavy hammer, shattering into fragmented pieces, drifting aimlessly, with nowhere to settle.

She unconsciously twitched her fingers, removing her hand from Yun Chi’s face: “What kind do you think I am, Royal Consort?”

Her voice was dry, her tone slow, like a clear spring whose path was suddenly blocked, lost and helpless.

Yun Chi’s mind was a little blank; she was completely thrown off.

No way, no way!

She nervously swallowed, her tone probing: “Did you misunderstand my meaning, and only thought of it that way out of gratitude?”

The implied meaning was that she didn’t want that, and she didn’t think Ye Xuejin did either—it must just be gratitude.

Most importantly, the life she yearned for was never within those palace walls.

“Is that so? So, I overthought things.” Ye Xuejin looked at her, quickly interjecting.

So, it was indeed that I overthought things.

My goddess is only willing to bless me, but not willing to stay for me…

Yun Chi’s expression subtly relaxed. It was indeed just out of gratitude, but an indescribable complexity welled up in her heart.

“I only hope you live well, and have no other intentions. As for those two conditions…”

“I don’t want to hear it right now, Royal Consort.”

Yun Chi’s words were cut off halfway, her mouth covered.

Ye Xuejin looked intently at her. Seeing that she had stopped speaking, she withdrew her hand. Then, she said nothing, lowered her head, and curled up.

Yun Chi was stunned, suddenly feeling a little panic.

But remembering the future, and the gold, she couldn’t help but confirm: “Ye Xuejin, you promised…”

Her words were interrupted again.

“Royal Consort, since I have promised you, I will not go back on my word. Let’s talk about it later.”

Yun Chi fell silent. Fine, later is fine too.

Anyway, it wouldn’t be too long. After tonight, there were only four days left.

She hoped no accidents would happen then. The Female Lead shouldn’t let the plot collapse, right?

The night gradually deepened. The cold wind blew, making people shiver.

Even covered by the cotton quilt, there was little warmth.

Yun Chi subconsciously reached out, then retracted her hand halfway.

When had touching hands and hugging become a habit between them?

At this moment, that habit seemed inappropriate, even awkward.

The next day, as soon as the sky brightened, everyone woke up one after another.

Yu Lu consciously gathered everyone to fold the cotton quilts neatly and stack them together. Watching so many quilts vanish into thin air, the crowd was no longer so shocked; they seemed to have gotten used to it.

Her Highness the Grand Princess can communicate with the immortal, and being protected by the immortal means they are all basking in that light.

Subtly, some conclusions had become established facts in everyone’s minds.

“Your Highness, shall we depart immediately?” Yu Lu asked Ye Xuejin for instructions after the quilts disappeared, a hint of expectation on his face.

The dry rations bought in Caozhou City are all gone. Will the immortal bestow breakfast?

Following Yu Lu’s words, everyone looked eagerly at Ye Xuejin, harboring the same expectation.

The food bestowed by the immortal is truly delicious. Eating it feels like living a celestial life.

Hearing this, Yun Chi was about to check what food was left in her storage space when she saw Ye Xuejin suddenly stand up and stride forward.

“Depart immediately.”

The four emotionless characters subtly revealed a chilling intent that struck fear into people’s hearts.
