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

Chapter 368

"it is good."

Changsheng readily agreed.

"As for Chenghe, she's fine."

Upon hearing this, Nalan Jingwen lost his composure. "How do you know?"

Changsheng's expression was very calm, as if he were talking about something insignificant.

"Before I found you, I had already sent someone to rescue her. After all, I have to show some sincerity when cooperating with you, don't I?"

Nalan Jingwen stared intently at him, astonished by his cunning.

I had always known that he was a strategist and a genius, but after getting to know him, I couldn't help but be shocked. It would be hard to find another person of such talent and intelligence in this world. If he were healthy, I can't imagine how formidable he would be.

Changsheng met her gaze directly without flinching.

"Does Your Highness wish to thank me? It's not that there's no opportunity; I happen to be short of someone to serve me."

Of course, he also has a sharp tongue.

Nalan Jingwen couldn't help but sneer, "Do you know the saying that goes, 'Too smart people die young'?"

Extreme intelligence is bound to bring harm; for every gain, there is a loss. Everything has a price already set in secret, not to mention his exceptional talent and good looks, which will surely incur the envy of the heavens.

Chang Sheng's eyes flickered, but he returned to his lazy demeanor.

"Your Highness, have you forgotten that I can only live to be twenty years old?"

He was predicted from a young age not to live past twenty, and every day after that was spent waiting for death. Perhaps it was the case that everyone in his family was born with disabilities, so his mother never thought of prolonging his life. Besides, prolonging life would come at a price, it would be an act against the will of heaven, and his life was already destined.

Due to his physical condition, he developed more slowly than his peers. He learned to talk when his peers had already learned to walk, and he could only walk when his peers could run and jump. However, he could not walk continuously and needed to sit in a wheelchair. Children, not understanding, would laugh at him for being a cripple.

He cannot experience great joy or sorrow, nor can he learn martial arts or practice swordsmanship. He has many limitations. He is too intelligent, yet he is trapped because his body cannot bear the weight, which is why he suffers.

Later, he began to study medicine and poisons, learn embroidery and cooking, learn carving and planting flowers. He learned everything he could do. Except for things that required physical exertion, he was almost omnipotent.

Because of his health condition, his mother would always sigh as she looked at him. At that time, he thought that he must do something, that he must leave his mark on this world.

However, it was too difficult for the man to leave his name, so he decided that he must seize the world.

Make sure everyone remembers him!

Nalan Jing fell silent upon hearing his nonchalant words.

Is being too intelligent a blessing or a punishment?

She didn't look at him again, turned around and went into the house.

"Remember to be on time tomorrow morning."

……

Fearing that Pei Yunche would be awakened, Nalan Jingwen added a sleeping potion to his dinner. Before dawn, he arrived at the place he had arranged to meet Changsheng.

The two remained silent and headed towards the southern wilderness.

It took them almost a month to reach the border. Nalan Jingwen silently looked at the scene before him, then at the only horse beside him, and said wearily, "Are you sure you only prepared one horse?"

It's just a horse, but why is it so small? It can only seat one person!

Changsheng nodded and blinked. "We've spent a lot of money on this trip, and we're a bit short on cash lately. Having a horse is good enough; don't be picky."

He can be short of money too?!

What a hell.

"Why don't you just sell any one of your things and you'll have money?"

Changsheng shook his head repeatedly, "No!"

Nalan Jingwen was speechless for a moment, then looked at the jade pendant hanging on his body. Changsheng followed her gaze and shook his head again.

"This can't be sold either."

Nalan Jingwen's gaze wandered and landed on a corner of the sachet peeking out from his arms. It looked bulging and probably contained a lot of valuables.

Before she could speak, a pair of pale hands immediately covered her mouth, and Changsheng's eyes showed vigilance.

"That won't work either, don't even think about it."

Nalan Jingwen: "..."

I wonder what kind of treasure it is that's so rare.

Okay, she gave in and was just about to mount her horse when she caught a glimpse of Changsheng's pitiful eyes. Anyone who didn't know better would think she had bullied him.

Nalan Jingwen fell silent again, stopped mounting his horse, and then stepped aside.

She doesn't bother arguing with sick people about these things.

Changsheng immediately smiled, his eyes crinkling, and reached out his hand to her.

"I can't get up there."

Nalan Jingwen: "..."

Nalan Jingwen's forehead twitched violently, then he picked him up and mounted the horse.

"Sit down."

It sounded rather like he was gritting his teeth.

The boy, sitting leisurely on horseback, seemed completely unaware, blinking his innocent eyes as he thanked her.

It's just not sincere at all.

Nalan Jingwen resignedly led her horse forward. The road was full of rivers and streams, and she was almost always traveling by water. Fortunately, the water was not deep, and she could cross it directly. Over the past few days, her clothes had been wet and dry repeatedly, and had become quite wrinkled.

Changsheng, on the other hand, was leisurely sitting on horseback enjoying the scenery. His clothes were still clean and tidy, and he would occasionally take out snacks from his pocket. I don't know where he, who looked so thin, had stored so much food.

I don't know if they're here for vacation or what.

"Would you like some grapes? Nalan Jingwen."

He pulled out a bunch of grapes from somewhere, and stretched out a fair and slender hand in front of Nalan Jingwen, holding a small grape in his hand, waving it in front of her.

Nalan Jingwen was already used to him always producing food like magic. Just as he was about to open his mouth, the hand in front of him reached back. Nalan Jingwen looked over and saw that he had stuffed the food into his mouth without hesitation.

Nalan Jingwen: "..."

There was no one around in this desolate wilderness, so he simply took off his veil and let his true nature shine through. Without his disguise, Changsheng looked much more pleasing to the eye; his cheeks were bulging out, like a little hamster.

While eating, he kept spitting out the grape skins.

Seeing Nalan Jingwen turn to look at him, he paused in putting the grapes in his mouth, and hesitated before reaching out to her.

"Do you want it?"

He looked reluctant, and Nalan Jingwen silently looked away, saying, "You eat it yourself."

Hearing this, he smiled again and continued to stuff grapes into his mouth, making spitting noises all the while.

His voice could be heard all the way.

"Nalan Jingwen, would you like some peach blossom pastries?"

"Eat it yourself."

"Nalan Jingwen, would you like some candied lotus seeds?"

"Eat it yourself."

Would you like some candied hawthorn?

"yourself……"

Before he could finish speaking, Nalan Jingwen heard the crisp sound of him biting into the candy shell; he really wasn't even pretending anymore.
