Chapter 141
Nine years ago.
“Husband, are we really going to settle down here?”
Walking along the streets of Baiwa City, a delicate-looking woman asked the man beside her.
The man, named Shen Sheng, nodded. “This will be the place. It’s situated on the border between the Wu Kingdom and a small demon kingdom in the Southern Realm. It’s an ungoverned city, with no one in control. Here, we can avoid those hunting you, Qiongman.”
The woman, Zhao Qiongman, lowered her head slightly, her expression full of guilt. “I’m sorry, husband. If it weren’t for me…”
“Don’t say such things,” Shen Sheng interrupted her. “What’s done is done. Since we’ve come to a new place, let’s start fresh and live a good life together.”
“Alright,” Zhao Qiongman agreed softly. “I’ll follow whatever you decide.”
Shen Sheng tightened his grip on his wife’s hand. “Don’t worry. Now that we’re here, we can finally live in peace. No one will find us.”
Zhao Qiongman nodded firmly.
