In the small courtyard, the two embraced in silence.

Yang Muxi's mind was in turmoil. She couldn't sort out her feelings for Jiang Chen and fell into confusion, standing there lost in thought.

Jiang Chen saw this and seized the opportunity, holding the delicate body in his arms tightly, savoring its softness.

As the saying goes, the timid starve to death, while the bold die of gluttony.

While the Grand Master Yang hadn't reacted, he would enjoy it while he could. Opportunities to take advantage like this were rare and shouldn't be missed.

Just as Jiang Chen was reveling in the fragrant embrace, Yang Muxi came back to her senses.

Her beautiful eyes widened, and with a mix of shyness and anger, she slapped away the large hand on her waist. "Jiang Yan, you incorrigible lecher!

"You just walked through the gates of hell, and you still have the energy to think about these wicked things. You're really, really…"

Seeming embarrassed to say the word, Yang Muxi suddenly stopped and glared at Jiang Chen before pulling away.

Jiang Chen stood there, letting Yang Muxi retreat, not pressing too hard.

Chasing a woman was like flying a kite; it required a balance of tension and release.

"Muxi, I am fond of you, so naturally, I want to be close to you. It's a man's nature, and I can't control it."

His sincere gaze made Yang Muxi's heart, which had just calmed down, beat faster again.

Hastily looking away, she coldly snorted, "Since you are fond of me, why hide your identity and refuse to tell me your real name?"

"How can I believe you with that kind of attitude?"

Jiang Chen was speechless, and after a long while, he said bitterly, "Muxi, I really have my reasons.

"If I don't hide my identity, I'm afraid I'll lose you in an instant. That outcome is more painful than death… I dare not take that risk!"

Jiang Chen's pained tone didn't seem fake. Yang Muxi's heart clenched, and her cold tone gained a hint of concern.

"What reasons? Would telling them threaten you?"

"Jiang Yan, I have some skills. As long as you tell me honestly, I will do everything in my power to help, no matter what difficulties you encounter!"

"Of course, you can't be the kind of villain who is full of evil, nor can you commit crimes…"

"No, what are you thinking?"

Jiang Chen interrupted helplessly, but his gaze towards Yang Muxi gained a touch of tenderness.

"Muxi, I can reveal my identity, but you have to promise me one condition first!"

"That is, from now on, you are not allowed to use force. If you beat me to a pulp, you'll have to live as a widow for the rest of your life."

Yang Muxi's face turned red with anger, and she was about to explode.

But Jiang Chen preempted her, "Look, you get angry over such a small thing. It makes me feel very insecure."

"Your martial arts are so strong that ten of me tied together couldn't beat you. What if you really killed me?"

Yang Muxi frowned. "Jiang Yan, you shameless scoundrel, watch your words!"

"If you try to trick me again or take advantage of me with your words, I won't be polite!"

"Muxi, are you agreeing?" Jiang Chen asked with a smile, showing no fear.

"You!" Yang Muxi gritted her teeth and said angrily, "I agree, but you must tell me the truth this time!"

"If you dare to lie to me again, I will chase you to the ends of the earth and take your lying dog's life!"

As if he didn't hear Yang Muxi's threat, Jiang Chen approached with a bright smile, leaned close to her jade-like ear, and whispered:

"Come closer, my identity involves many secrets. Be careful…"

Yang Muxi's delicate body trembled from the heat on her ear, and her mind went blank for a moment. She subconsciously followed Jiang Chen's lead, pressing her pretty face closer.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen grinned with a hint of triumph, leaned in, and covered Yang Muxi's red lips, forcefully invading!

Breaths intertwined, body temperatures exchanged.

The sweet, soft taste made Jiang Chen sink into bliss.

After a long time, until an inappropriate impulse arose in his body, Jiang Chen reluctantly withdrew.

Such an obedient and well-behaved sect leader was rare; it was a pity to only sample it lightly.

Wiping the moisture from Yang Muxi's lips, Jiang Chen intimately lifted her chin and kissed her fair cheek.

He said with a smile, "Sect Leader, you should come back to your senses. Don't you want to know my identity?"

His frivolous tone brought Yang Muxi back to her senses and ignited her anger!

"Jiang Yan, you bastard rogue, you, you're courting death!"

Saying that, she pulled out the soft sword from her waist again, menacingly holding the sword against Jiang Chen's neck.

Although the folk customs of Great Wei were open and the restrictions on women were not strict, kissing was something that could only happen between husband and wife!

Jiang Chen's action completely robbed her of her innocence, and she could only marry him!

Yang Muxi's pretty face was flushed with shame and anger, her delicate body was slightly weak, and her mind was full of intimate scenes between the two. The sword in her hand could no longer move, and it was just placed against Jiang Chen's neck without any lethality.

"Uh, Muxi, calm down. Didn't you promise me not to use force just now? You can't go back on your word!"

Jiang Chen's smile remained unchanged, and the calmness in his expression made Yang Muxi want to tear the lecher's face apart.

However, thinking of her promise just now, coupled with the inexplicable feelings in her heart,

She hesitated for a while and chose to stop.

However, after being tricked by Jiang Chen so many times, she had completely learned her lesson, and her beautiful eyes looked at him warily.

She said coldly, "Jiang Yan, I'll let you go one last time. Tell the truth quickly."

"If you dare to play tricks and harass me again, don't even think about leaving this courtyard today!"

Although her words were very domineering, Yang Muxi subconsciously avoided Jiang Chen's eyes when she spoke.

As a result, the warning effect was greatly reduced, like a spoiled daughter-in-law's coquettishness, which not only failed to threaten but also made people itch even more.

It made people want to take her into their arms and cherish her fiercely!

Jiang Chen struggled to look away, using the surrounding scenery to distract himself and suppress the erotic thoughts in his mind.

After the multiple tests just now, he was sure that even if his identity was really exposed, Yang Muxi wouldn't do anything to him.

At worst, she would just give him a cold shoulder for a few days; he just needed to coax her.

Therefore, he was not nervous at all now… However, he still had to put on a show. If his attitude was too casual, he might fail, so caution was the best policy.

He put on a solemn expression: "Muxi, although I am not a prince, I didn't lie to you about being a member of the royal family."

Hearing this, Yang Muxi's expression improved a little: "Humph, it's good that you still have some conscience. Continue!"

Jiang Chen coughed lightly and said cautiously, "Actually, my status in the royal family… is a little higher than a prince."

"?" Yang Muxi was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding.

The only people in the royal family with a higher status than a prince were the Emperor and the Regent… but Great Wei didn't have a Regent?

Yang Muxi's pupils suddenly dilated, and she looked at Jiang Chen in disbelief…
