Chapter 372: Don ‘t Touch Her

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the end, her desire to live prevailed.

Princess Tao Ran endured the humiliation and resentment and silently put on her clothes.

A guard from the Chen Nation rushed over with a lantern.

“Your Highness, the Sixth Prince of the Dayan Nation sent a letter and asked you to read it as soon as possible.”

Han Chengxi took the letter.

In addition to a thin letter, there was also a small and exquisite butterfly jade pendant.

There were only a few words in the letter. It roughly meant that the Princess Consort of Lang County had run away. This was the jade pendant she carried with her.

Han Chengxi could not help but frown. “You can’t even catch a woman. Why is the Sixth Prince of the Dayan Kingdom so useless?

He placed the letter in the lantern and lit it by candlelight.

After the letter was burned to ashes, Han Chengxi put the butterfly jade pendant into his sleeve.

“Let’s go.”

They took a few steps and realized that there were no footsteps behind them.

Hence, Han Chengxi stopped and turned to look at Princess Tao Ran.

“Didn’t you keep calling him Brother MO Zhu just now? Let’s go. I’ll bring you to see your Brother MO Zhu now.”

After knowing that she could see Xiao Juan, Princess Tao Ran’s eyes finally lit up.

Although it was no longer possible for her and Xiao Juan, Xiao Juan was strong in martial arts. He might be able to kill Han Chengxi and avenge her.

Princess Tao Ran strode forward with her sore legs and followed silently.

Han Chengxi believed that he had planned everything flawlessly.

He first bribed the palace maids serving Princess Tao Ran and asked the palace maids to secretly tamper with Princess Tao Ran’s knockout powder, making the effects of the knockout powder even stronger.

After Princess Tao Ran attacked Xiao Juan, the killers that Han Chengxi had arranged beforehand would seize the opportunity to attack Xiao Juan.

Xiao Juan, who was drugged, would definitely not be able to withstand the siege of so many killers. In the end, he would only die.

The truth was developing far more smoothly than Han Chengxi had expected.

Not only did he drug Xiao Juan, but he also took advantage of Princess Tao Ran’s body for nothing.

Calculating the time, Xiao Juan should have already become a corpse.

Han Chengxi planned to check the results and let Princess Tao Ran personally admire the scene of her lover’s tragic death.

Unexpectedly, when they arrived at their destination, he saw corpses everywhere.

Only one person remained standing.

That person was Xiao Juan.

The cold moonlight shone on him, illuminating the blood stains on his body.

The No Return Saber in his hand fell slightly, and drops of blood fell from it.

He slowly raised his head. There was no light in his dark pupils. They were as cold and deep as a bottomless abyss that would crush a person once he fell into it.

An indescribable aura of danger surrounded him.

At this moment, Xiao Juan did not look like a living person, but more like a demon who had just crawled out of hell.

Han Chengxi had never expected such an outcome.

All the killers he had hired died, and in the end, only Xiao Juan remained.

What kind of monster was this guy?

Princess Tao Ran was also very afraid but happy at the same time.

As expected of her Brother MO Zhu. He was so powerful!

She could not help but take two steps forward and call out in a hoarse voice, “Brother MO Zhu!”

However, Xiao Juan did not seem to know her. His gaze was as cold as ever.

He spat out a word coldly.

“Kill.”

Princess Tao Ran said, “Look carefully. I’m Tao Ran.”

In the next moment, Xiao Juan waved the No Return Saber and slashed at her. Princess Tao Ran was shocked. Her mind went blank and she forgot to dodge.

In the end, Han Chengxi reached out and pulled her away.

Princess Tao Ran was still in shock.

She looked at Xiao Juan a short distance away and felt that he was both familiar and unfamiliar.

Logically speaking, Xiao Juan was her ideal man.

He was cold, heartless, powerful, and unstoppable.

But the thought of almost dying under his saber just now petrified her. Her intense fear kept rising.

She didn’t even have the courage to look at him directly.

At this moment, she was no different from those who hated and feared Xiao

Juan.

After the initial shock, Han Chengxi regained his composure.

He looked at Xiao Juan and said.

“You’re very powerful. I admire you for that. I even regret it. Why wasn’t someone as powerful as you born in the Chen Nation?”

Xiao Juan’s response was only one word.

“Kill! ”

Seeing that he was about to attack him, Han Chengxi quickly said.

“If you move again, Yu Niaoniao will lose her life!”

When he heard the words “Yu Niaoniao”, Xiao Juan suddenly stopped.

Seeing this, Han Chengxi knew that his guess was right. Xiao Juan was really lovestruck. His only weakness was Yu Niaoniao. As long as an enemy grasped this, no matter how powerful he was, he could only obediently surrender.

Han Chengxi took out the butterfly jade pendant from his sleeve and shook it gently.

“Do you see that? This is Yu Niaoniao’s belonging. She’s in Noble Consort Shuts hands now. If you don’t want her to die, put down the knife in your hand and don’t resist again.”

With that, he threw the butterfly jade pendant over.

Xiao Juan raised his hand to catch the jade pendant.

He looked down at the butterfly jade pendant lying quietly in his palm. An image appeared in his mind:

Yu Niaoniao took out a butterfly jade pendant from her makeup and hung it on her waist. Then, she spun in front of him, and her skirt fluttered. As she smiled, her eyes crinkled. “Do I look good?”

Xiao Juan looked at her bright smile and replied sincerely, “Yes.”

Warm memories broke through the clouds, momentarily illuminating his entire world.

Reason returned, and there was light in his eyes again.

Xiao Juan gripped the butterfly jade pendant tightly and said hoarsely.

“Don’t touch her.”

Han Chengxi said, “I told you, as long as you do as I say, Yu Niaoniao will be safe.”

A butterfly jade pendant didn’t mean anything, but what if?

What if they really caught Yu Niaoniao?

Xiao Juan could not afford to gamble, nor did he dare to.

He slowly loosened his fingers, and the No Return Saber fell to the ground.

Han Chengxi looked at the guards behind him.

The guards carefully approached Xiao Juan. Seeing that he had no intention of resisting, they swarmed forward and pressed him to the ground.

Seeing that Xiao Juan had been restrained, a smug smile appeared on Han Chengxi’s face.

“A wolf, but tamed into a dog. How interesting.”

Princess Tao Ran did not expect Xiao Juan to be captured so quickly.

Once again, she clearly realized how important Yu Niaoniao was to Xiao Juan.

Even if he went berserk, he would still preserve the last bit of gentleness for Yu

Niaoniao.

Although Han Chengxi was smug, he did not forget.

He remembered what Shen Rui had said in the letter. Yu Niaoniao had already run away. Perhaps she was on her way. He had to make it quick.

Han Chengxi made a prompt decision. “Kill him.”

Xiao Juan was firmly pressed against the construction site. A guard raised his saber and aimed the blade at the back of his neck.

Princess Tao Ran stared fixedly at Xiao Juan. As long as he was willing to ask her for help, she would think of a way to stop Han Chengxi.

However, Xiao Juan did not even look at her.

He was actually willing to die for Yu Niaoniao.

The moment the blade fell, a small crossbow bolt suddenly shot over and hit the knife.

The knife fell from his hand and landed ten feet away.

Xiao Juan saw the crossbow that had fallen to the ground and recognized it at a glance. It was a crossbow he had specially customized for Yu Niaoniao.

It was Yu Niaoniao!
