Wen Yuan left quietly, and Chunhua only got a letter from her parents on her dressing table the next morning.
The letter said that he would travel with Shen Huaiyan and would be back in three months at most, so that his parents would not have to worry.
Mother Wen felt something was wrong and wanted to send someone out to look for her, but was stopped by King Dingnan, "Shen Huaiyan will not let our daughter be wronged. Let's see how good she is."

"This is the first time for me to go out alone. No matter where I go, there are always a lot of maids and secret guards around me. Now that you are by my side, I feel at ease." Wen Yuan tilted her head and smiled sweetly. Very much like a child who gets candy.
Shen Huaiyan also responded with an endearing chuckle, and touched her face with a warm hand, "Actually, if it weren't for the demon catcher who took advantage of my unpreparedness to sneak up on me, I would be a fox who has been practicing for thousands of years. The demon wouldn’t have been so seriously injured by him, and you won’t be hiding with me today.”
The two discussed it and decided to go back to Feihua City. After all, it was far away from the capital and still Wen Yuan's territory. No one would be so unreasonable to take action on her land.
"Miss!" A familiar voice came from not far behind. Chunhua was carrying her baggage and running all the way to catch up with Wen Yuan and Shen Huaiyan. "Miss, wait for me!"
"Chunhua?" Wen Yuan glanced at Shen Huaiyan suspiciously, "How did Chunhua know that we would pass by here."
When Chunhua caught up, she took a breath and rested for a while, "Miss, let Chunhua follow. We have grown up together since childhood. Without me by your side, Miss will sometimes feel powerless."
This is true, not to mention that Chunhua's loyalty to herself is evident from time to time, so you can completely trust her.
"Okay, I really don't feel used to it without you." Wen Yuan took Chunhua's hand, "No one saw it when we came out, right? Did Qiuyue tell her?"
"Of course not." Chunhua quickly shook her head and denied, "I know that Qiuyue has some thoughts about the young master, so I will definitely not bring her here. Don't worry, miss, no one knows that I left. Even if Brother Ying and the others see it, they will definitely not I told the master and his wife.”
Feng Ying and this group of secret guards are all on the same side as Wen Yuan, and they will definitely not betray Wen Yuan.
She felt relieved after saying this, and the look on her face relaxed.
Chunhua suddenly remembered something that happened before going out, and decided to tell Wen Yuan to let her make the decision, "Miss, when I left the palace, I overheard Master Wufeng and his master plotting something. It seemed to be about the foxes in the capital. The monster will definitely not be able to escape... We need to catch the fox.”
After saying this, Chunhua looked at Shen Huaiyan worriedly.
Her words made Wen Yuan's heart tense and her expression became panicked again. At this time, she could definitely conclude that the fox her cousin and his master were talking about was Shen Huaiyan.
But my cousin is not a well-educated scholar, so why did he get involved with the monster hunter?
Could it be...
Could it be that he left the palace for so long just to learn how to catch monsters?
"Whoever he wants to catch is his business, we just pretend we don't know."

When the sun was going down, the three of them found a simple inn in the mountains. No one understood why the inn was built in such a remote place.
The innkeeper is a young man, more than seven feet tall, with unshaven beard, dark skin, and strong arm muscles. He looks like a trainer.
"Shopkeeper, we have two rooms. Let's make some side dishes and send them to one of them." Chunhua took the initiative to take the responsibility of communicating with the store as usual.
The shopkeeper looked at Wen Yuan for a few times, his expression unclear, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Chunhua knocked on the table and reminded him in time, "Shopkeeper, I'm talking to you. What do you think my young lady and uncle are doing?"
Chunhua's words also secretly reminded the shopkeeper not to have any bad ideas about Wen Yuan.
The man looked back and smiled, "How should we arrange the guest room? Ordinary room or..."
"Of course it's good." She didn't think much and replied quickly. Unexpectedly, it was this ordinary answer that put Wen Yuan in trouble.
During the meal, Chunhua served the dishes beside Wen Yuan as usual, but this time Wen Yuan pulled her over to sit down, "It's not like we are in the palace, there are just a few of us here, let's sit down and eat together."
"How good is this... we still have to distinguish between master and servant..."
Before Chunhua finished speaking, Wen Yuan forcibly pulled her to sit next to her, "In front of outsiders, you and I are master and servant. In front of our own people, you are my sister."
During the meal, Wen Yuanyong felt someone was wandering outside the door, but when Chunhua went out to see there was nothing there, "Maybe I'm sensitive."
But in this wilderness, it's not a bad thing to be more cautious.
Now that Shen Huaiyan was seriously injured, it would be difficult if a demon hunter took this opportunity to take Shen Huaiyan's life.
The three of them had just finished their dinner when the shopkeeper knocked on the door. As planned, the time was quite precise.
"Girls, there is a natural hot spring behind our inn. I only discovered it when I came here to do business in the early years. The scenery there is also very good, and you can also see the waterfalls on the mountain. You two can try it later. .”
After saying that, the waiter with a sinister look on his face quickly packed up the dishes on the table and exited the room.
These words made Chunhua excited, and she immediately ran to the baggage to find Wen Yuan's pajamas, "Miss, let's go take a bath later. Hot springs are good for your health."
"Okay, I'll be there in a minute. Go to the room and get all my bath beans and balm." As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Yuan realized that he came out in a hurry this time and didn't bring anything with him...
When the master and servant were at a loss what to do, Shen Huaiyan stood up from the side and said, "Chunhua, you go and prepare first. I'll have a few words with the lady."
After confirming that Chunhua had left, Shen Huaiyan opened the pair of bracelets he wore with Wen Yuan, "It seems you didn't listen to what I said last time. Come on, I prepared these before I went out. After you come back with a nice shower..."
What he will do when he comes back... He won't say more. Wen Yuan will understand the tacit understanding between people who love each other.
"Otherwise..." Shen Huaiyan smiled evilly and moved closer to Wen Yuan, casually picking up a strand of her hair with his fingertips, "The young monk takes a bath with the beautiful lady?"
Wen Yuan blushed instantly and pushed away the man who was close to him, "Who wants to be with you! Just stay in the room!"
As soon as the cunning fox beauty left, his expression changed, and his dark and stern eyes made people shudder.
The hot springs are steaming, and Yuan is lying on the stone steps comfortably, enjoying the rare leisure time.
After soaking in the spring for an unknown amount of time, Wen Yuan fell into a deep sleep in the spring water. When she woke up again, she found that she had put on clean pajamas and was lying in Shen Huaiyan's arms.
Wen Yuan liked to smell the faint scent of herbs on his body, but there was something wrong with the smell on him tonight.
It must have been cleaned carefully, but you can still smell a bit of blood.
She playfully drew circles on Shen Huaiyan's bare chest with her fingers, "Who did you kill while I was asleep?"
"A few flower pickers, one of them is the shopkeeper of this inn." Shen Huaiyan didn't want to hide Wen Yuan, he also knew that he couldn't, she was too keen in this regard.
The shopkeeper ruined many girls who were resting in this inn. By doing this, Shen Huaiyan was doing harm to the people.
Wen Yuan gently opened the man's clothes, and at the same time unbuttoned his own shirt, letting down his long hair. "The dead vine birthmark on your spine is very beautiful..."
The man stroked Wen Yuan's back with his hand almost obsessively.
On Wen Yuan's back, there is a long cinnabar withered vine birthmark, which she has had since she was a child.
But Wen Yuan didn't like this special mark. She pushed her hair to her chest and turned her face to look at her shoulder. There was a hint of melancholy in her eyes. "A fortune teller once said that this was an ominous birthmark." , will cause war in the future.”
"How do I remember that when my Yuanyuan was born, the heavenly gates opened and auspiciousness descended from the sky?"
She has always kept these words in mind, but after so many years, she still doesn't know which war she has caused.
"Charlatans mostly make a living by pretending to be gods, so don't worry too much." Shen Huaiyan gently touched the birthmark with his cold fingertips, and a glint flashed in his eyes, "I think this birthmark can bring me luck."
Every time he touched this birthmark, Shen Huaiyan always felt numb and full of power. Maybe it was just his imagination.
…
The next morning, Chunhua searched around the inn, but couldn't find the shopkeeper. She ran a long way to buy a few meat buns for Wen Yuan, "Miss, you can eat something to fill your stomach first, and we'll wait until we get out of here." There should be a village on the mountain, let’s find a restaurant.”
"I remember there was no bun stall nearby. Did you go far away to buy them?" Wen Yuan took the buns and gave three to Shen Huaiyan, two to Chunhua, and kept two for himself.
Unexpectedly, Chunhua gave all her buns to Wen Yuan again, "My lady will feel uncomfortable if she doesn't eat in the morning. Mr. Shen, remember this, don't let my lady go hungry in the future."
After saying that, she ran away immediately, as if she was afraid that Wen Yuan would return the meat buns to her again.
Looking at Chunhua's back, Wen Yuan smiled slightly, "What a silly girl, I can't eat so much by myself..."
Wen Yuan smiled and gave the two extra meat buns to Shen Huaiyan, and the man also smiled bitterly, "The princess is really feeding her like a pig."
"Yes, my Wen Yuan's exclusive pig, royally certified~" As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them laughed immediately. Chunhua could also hear the cheerful laughter of her young lady in front of her.
I haven't been this happy for a long time. It's so good. It's so good to have Mr. Shen by the princess's side.
As soon as they set off on the road, Wen Yuan felt strange. He opened the curtain of the carriage and leaned back to see that everything was normal. He had to sit still and said, "I always feel like someone is following us, but every time I look for it, there is nothing. Could it be mine?" illusion?"
It was not an illusion. Shen Huaiyan also noticed that someone was following them, but every time he dismounted and looked for it, there was no trace. This further proved that the person following them was highly skilled in magic and could hide his aura and body shape so perfectly.
but……
As long as Wen Yuan is not harmed, he will do it. If he dares to touch her even if he is a god, he will not be able to protect her.
