How I Pampered the Tyrant Into Devotion With My Space

Chapter 360: Severing the Ties of Karma

And she also discovered that she couldn’t kill Zhen Xu, and Zhen Xu couldn’t kill her either.

She had thought before, once she killed Zhen Xu, she could leave here. But now, realizing if she harbored such intentions, who knows how long she’d have to stay in this place.

Possibly staying for a lifetime is not impossible.

Pei Shu’er looked at Shen Wanqing, who was sleeping soundly on the inside of the bed, fed her a sleeping pill, and then placed her in the space, stealthily leaving by herself.

By the time Pei Shu’er reached the temple gate, she hadn’t seen Zhen Xu chasing after her, and couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.

Just as she looked back, she saw Zhen Xu standing ten meters ahead, and her heart turned cold, prompting her to sprint wildly.

Why won’t Zhen Xu simply leave her alone?

In Zhen Xu’s eyes appeared a trace of anger, and he also charged towards Pei Shu’er.

Pei Shu’er’s speed wasn’t slow, and the terrain was forested; it allowed her rudimentary Qinggong to barely be of use.

Pei Shu’er deliberately ran towards the river; Zhen Xu sped up chasing her, seemingly having detected Pei Shu’er’s intentions.

Pei Shu’er increased her speed even more.

Thanks to the time spent sparring with Zhen Xu, she was no longer the Pei Shu’er of the past with clumsy skills.

At the riverside, Pei Shu’er didn’t pause; she quickly jumped into the river, diving to the bottom, then entered the space.

She could feel Zhen Xu also diving into the water, searching around for her but failing to find her. Roughly an hour later, Zhen Xu went ashore.

Pei Shu’er thought he might leave, but unexpectedly he searched downstream along the riverbank.

Zhen Xu was truly persistent in wanting to kill her.

Clearly, they bear no grudges, and the Zhen Xu in the original wasn’t like this.

Pei Shu’er waited in hiding for a long time until Zhen Xu was far enough that she couldn’t see him, then she came out of the space.

Coincidentally, there was an iron mine nearby. Pei Shu’er thought she should take some advantage from it again; after all, such a huge mine was hard to find if she didn’t take advantage of it now.

Space Power makes no noise while cutting ore.

The ore on her side was almost completely dug out.

She was about to leave when she suddenly heard two men conversing while relieving themselves.

"Even the Third Prince doesn’t know until when he wants us to keep mining; I feel the ore should be enough by now?"

The other man chuckled oddly, "You know his plan."

After saying this, both fell silent.

Pei Shu’er vaguely understood something.

This iron mine, apart from making weapons, didn’t seem worth a princely effort to mine.

And a prince secretly making weapons; the intention couldn’t be more obvious.

Pei Shu’er initially didn’t want to deal with the two, but her eyes took a calculated turn; she decided she could knock them out and place them in the space since they clearly knew about the Third Prince’s secret manufacturing.

She had no fondness for the Third Prince, naturally, she’d deal with it when necessary. And having leverage against the Third Prince would give her cards to play, wouldn’t it?

Pei Shu’er immediately stepped out of the shadows quietly, approached from behind them, and knocked them out.

Pei Shu’er interrogated the two upon their waking regarding the way out.

But the result was, they had been secretly escorted here by carriage, blindfolded all the way, so did not know the road.

Thus, they were knocked out again.

Pei Shu’er swiftly left the area; she remembered another path she hadn’t considered before.

Thinking of this, she blocked her nose and ears, diving into the river, then started floating as instructed by a teaching video.

Also, in the water, she could travel fastest and evade Zhen Xu easiest.

Midway, she sensed Shen Wanqing was waking and promptly fed her Spiritual Spring Water mixed with sleeping pills so she would fall asleep again; as for the other two, she administered injections directly.

She continued drifting, only to discover Zhen Xu ahead once again.

Pei Shu’er’s scalp tingled upon sighting that distinct white monk robe; she felt like a psychopath murderer was stalking her.

She quickly covered her mouth and nose, diving down, unwilling to confront him, lest it disrupt her journey home.

Zhen Xu searched again, and finding Pei Shu’er missing, patiently waited on the spot again, ultimately going downstream.

He stayed there for half the night, only then did Pei Shu’er emerge from the water.

After the chaos, she finally learned how to swim.

She changed into dry clothes as the effects of Shen Wanqing’s medication wore off, and was slowly waking.

Upon opening her eyes, Shen Wanqing was met with a completely unfamiliar setting.

This was a village, and they were in the forest. Pei Shu’er had a pot cooking something, already done, smelling fragrant.

Shen Wanqing looked at Pei Shu’er and smiled: "Shu’er, how come after a sleep, we are already here?"

Pei Shu’er replied: "I carried you out; you were sleeping so soundly I couldn’t bear to wake you."

Shen Wanqing nodded without further questions, her eyes full of "Shu’er is remarkable".

Pei Shu’er found that her mother truly placed great trust in her; no matter the words, she believed whatever Pei Shu’er said.

She felt warmth and assurance in her heart.

After finishing their meal, Pei Shu’er took Shen Wanqing downstream along the river; the farther they walked, the more households they encountered.

Listening to their accents, Pei Shu’er realized these people were not Dayan people but were Great Shang people.

However, none of them knew the way to Dayan as they hadn’t been so far.

Floating along the stream for an unknown distance, Pei Shu’er and Shen Wanqing finally saw a road.

Upon seeing the road, Pei Shu’er breathed a long sigh of relief; she sensed this was the road to Dayan.

Only on the road did she encounter Zhen Xu once again.

Turns out, he was deliberately waiting for them here, and it seemed he’d been waiting a long time.

The anger and coldness in Zhen Xu’s eyes were more intense than before, but his voice remained as crisp as spring water.

"Benefactors, I’ve come to resolve our karmic entanglement."

Pei Shu’er waved her hands repeatedly.

"No, we have no entanglements; don’t make it sound like there’s some romantic tie between us."

If there was any connection, it was that this cold monk kept trying to kill her.

Zhen Xu said nothing more, proceeding to walk towards Pei Shu’er.

Pei Shu’er’s first action was to carry Shen Wanqing on her back and start running like mad.
