The Physicist Wife Who Overturned The World Novel - Chapter 1028

1028 Make a Deal (1)
Xue Fanxin did not know what had happened to the Nine-tailed Silver Fox, nor did she know what had happened after that. She only knew that the storm, lightning, and thunder had stopped. This meant that the Nine-tailed Silver Fox had already completed its advancement. She needed to escape faster.

“Fanjiu, I really can’t walk anymore. Can we rest for a while?” Because Zhou Xiaotong had been rushing, his clothes were torn by tree branches, and his shoes were torn too. His limbs had quite a few small injuries. His clothes were drenched by the rain, and his hair was in a mess. He looked extremely sorry. At this moment, he really could not walk anymore, sitting weakly on the ground and panting.

“Alright, let’s rest for a while.” Xue Fanxin knew that Zhou Xiaotong’s stamina had already reached the limit, so no matter how anxious she was, she had to stop and rest.

“Thank you!”

When Zhou Xiaotong heard Xue Fanxin say to rest, he immediately lay down. He was so tired that he did not even have the energy to speak. He closed his eyes to rest. If he had not tried his best to stay awake, he would have fallen asleep the moment he closed his eyes.

!!
He had been on the run for a few days and was constantly exhausted. He really did not know how long he could last.

“Xiaotong, I’m sorry for making you suffer with me.” Xue Fanxin looked at Zhou Xiaotong’s sorry state. She no longer had any thoughts about it, only shame.

She had originally wanted to test Zhou Xiaotong and see if he was qualified to become a member of the Black Shadow Guards, but she had changed her mind now.

Zhou Xiaotong was only an ordinary person with some talent. Her and Ah Jiu’s future paths were abnormally difficult. That was fighting with the heavens. They really shouldn’t involve Zhou Xiaotong.

Hence, when they reached a safe place, she should let Zhou Xiaotong be free and let him live a life that belonged to him. After all, she could not guarantee his future.

“I was the one who willingly escaped with you. How can you say that you harmed me? Furthermore, if I had not escaped with you, I would have died long ago.” Zhou Xiaotong did not have any complaints about the current bitterness and exhaustion. After all, this concerned his life.

“You can leave after you escape from the Flowing Cloud Sect and are safe.”

“Leave… Where can I go?”

“You can go wherever you want.” Xue Fanxin was unwilling to talk to Zhou Xiaotong anymore. She closed her eyes to rest. After escaping for a few days in a row, not to mention Zhou Xiaotong, even she felt very tired. However, no matter how tired she was, she had to escape, or her life would be in danger.

Zhou Xiaotong had been running for his life these few days and had never thought about where to go after successfully escaping. Xue Fanxin’s sudden mention made him feel very confused.

He wanted to follow the Ninth Imperial Consort, but he could not say such a thing and was too embarrassed to say it.

Who was the Ninth Imperial Consort? She was a high and mighty person. She must have many capable people by her side, and he did not have any outstanding ability. Why should he follow the Ninth Imperial Consort?
If Zhou Xiaotong did not say anything, Xue Fanxin would not mention it either. The two of them rested quietly and continued on their way. After fleeing for three days, they finally arrived at the so-called Netherworld River.

The Netherworld River was filled with thick fog. Not only did the fog block one’s vision, but it was also poisonous. If one smelled too much, they would definitely be poisoned.

However, poison was not a powerful thing to Xue Fanxin. An antidote pill could resolve the problem of the poisonous fog. What troubled her the most now was how to cross the Netherworld River.

“Fanjiu, this river is a little strange. There’s so much fog and it’s cold. Should we go over?” When Zhou Xiaotong saw the Netherworld River, he felt an inexplicable fear. He did not dare to go forward and retreated slightly.

“We must cross the river. Only by crossing this river can we be safe.”

But how should she get there?

Just as Xue Fanxin was feeling troubled, the cry of an eagle suddenly sounded from the sky. A few large eagles flew freely over the Netherworld River.
