Murong Ce was pinned to the ground by the woman, and the deadwood burning in his hand was pointing towards himself.
Standing against the light, the woman resembled a Divine Sage who had descended suddenly, her entire being exuded a cool and elegant disdain for the mundane world.
“You’re so noisy.”
The woman’s clear voice gained a few shades deeper due to the Night Color.
Murong Ce, unusually, did not react at all and just stared at her intently.
“Release Young Master Murong!”
Those on the periphery, after their initial shock, quickly came to their senses and crowded around.
“Who allowed you to come over, step back!” Murong Ce rebuked them, his face transforming from ferocious to affectionate, “Ying Yu, you weren’t frightened, were you?”
Chuzheng: “…”
This person had quite a reputation in Jianing Country.
But he seemed not to be from Jianing Country.
Due to an accident, Murong Ce met Chu Yingyu, and after love at first sight, he pursued her relentlessly.
Unfortunately, Chu Yingyu did not fancy him and refused to pay him any attention.
So…
“I am not Chu Yingyu.” Chuzheng kicked him to the ground, pressed the still-sparking deadwood onto his shoulder with his hand, and coldly warned, “Don’t call me that.”
Looking just like that bastard really was her rotten luck.
Murong Ce felt the same pain as Xie Shu and couldn’t help but cry out.
From high above, Chuzheng looked down at him indifferently. Just as she was about to kill Murong Ce, two strands of Xuan Qi attacked from her left and right.
“Young Master Murong!”
As Chuzheng dodged the Xuan Qi, Murong Ce got dragged away by someone.
Chuzheng glanced over, so many people…
She couldn’t win.
Forget it.
Chuzheng turned and walked over to Xie Shu.
Only then did Xie Shu see clearly what she held in her arms, a golden bundle. The little creature lifted its head, its fiery red eyes rolling around as it surveyed him, seemingly with bad intentions.
Chuzheng stood in front of him, her thoughts unclear.
After a while, she held the Tianjin Mouse properly and stretched her hand towards him, “Get up.”
Xie Shu’s peripheral vision caught Murong Ce behind him, his face twisting darkly as he watched them.
Xie Shu withdrew his gaze, looking at the hand in front of him, noting how pale and slender it was.
Before, whenever she wanted to touch him, Xie Shu would feel disgusted, but now he actually found that hand attractive, wanting to reach out and hold it.
And he did just that.
Xie Shu concealed the murderous intent in his eyes, raised them, and smiled lightly, “Your Highness went through quite some trouble to find me, should I be grateful?”
Chuzheng nodded earnestly, “Mhm.” Be sure to thank me! I’m a good person!
Xie Shu: “…”
Xie Shu frowned slightly, that strange feeling again, what was she playing at?
Xie Shu used Chuzheng’s help to stand up.
These days, he’d been tormented by Murong Ce quite a bit, his body simply couldn’t hold up, and before he could steady himself, he started to fall towards the ground.
Chuzheng, holding the Tianjin Mouse, didn’t want to let go, so she could only watch with wide eyes as Xie Shu fell.
Chuzheng: “…” No, the Little Mouse is more important!
Tianjin Mouse: “…” Humans are terrifying, this poor little fellow, tormented by that man, and now about to be tormented by this woman.
Xie Shu: “…”
So this was her punishment for running away?
Xie Shu pushed himself up and stood again.
