"Start over, your mother."
Ye Luan ignored him. "Put me down."
Xiao Chi Zhan looked at her cold face, pursed his lips, and after a moment, he withdrew, tidied her clothes, and put her down.
He didn't want to go too far, lest he truly anger her and suffer the consequences himself.
Ye Luan was so angry at his actions that she couldn't speak. She vented her anger by stomping on him fiercely, then turned to leave.
Xiao Chi Zhan instinctively grabbed her.
She turned back coldly, glaring at him with gritted teeth.
"Do you believe I'll stab you to death with a knife?"
Xiao Chi Zhan looked at her, silent for a moment, his voice hoarse and deep, "Stab me to death."
Ye Luan: "---"
"Do you need me to help you hold the knife?"
Seeing her silence, he suddenly grabbed her hand and pressed it against his own neck, saying coldly, "You can also choose revenge. Choke me to death."
"Do whatever you need to do to vent your anger!"
Ye Luan was infuriated by his reckless demeanor.
"Do you think I wouldn't dare?"
Xiao Chi Zhan remained silent, tightening his grip on her hand, veins bulging, his breathing becoming difficult as his strength gradually increased.
Ye Luan looked at him in shock as he used her hand to try and strangle himself. His ferocity was so extreme it made her teeth itch with anger.
She immediately pulled her hand away, yelling, "You crazy lunatic, you idiot."
"Yes, I am a lunatic. I just can't live without you."
He grabbed her hand again and pulled her into a fierce embrace.
"Luan Luan, I'm addicted to you, I can't quit."
Ye Luan was held by him, his strength so great it felt like he was trying to merge with her very bones and blood, leaving no room for anything else.
She bit down hard on his neck, tasting the coppery tang of blood before releasing her mouth.
He made no sound throughout, holding her tightly.
"If you want to bite me to death, then bite me. I'm willing to die by your hand."
Ye Luan sneered, "I don't want to dirty my mouth killing a lunatic like you."
Xiao Chi Zhan ignored her words, dismissing them, and continued to hold her without letting go.
"Let go!"
"No." After saying that, he asked again, "Is that okay?"
Ye Luan was amused by his actions, "What do you think?"
Xiao Chi Zhan fell silent and buried his head in her neck.
This dead lunatic was completely unyielding and had a thicker skin than a city wall.
"I never knew the princes of Daliang could be so shameless."
"Only with you."
Ye Luan was speechless. She didn't know what to do with him.
Xiao Chi Zhan, not hearing her speak, pressed his lips heavily into her neck, possessively declaring his claim, "You are mine."
Ye Luan deliberately defied him, venomously saying, "Wrong. You're holding someone else's fiancee. At best, you're a lover."
As she spoke, she deliberately disgusted him further.
"Oh, if you're willing to be one, I might be able to give you that chance."
The hand around her waist tightened, and she could even sense the malevolent killing intent emanating from him.
Unsure if he would fly into a rage, she wisely closed her mouth.
"If you have one man, I'll kill one. If you have two, I'll kill a pair. Luan Luan, you know I'm a killer and not a good person."
Unbelievable!
A single word, unbelievable!
Ye Luan was so angry she trembled, letting out a cold snort, "Indeed, not a good person."
He also let out a low snort, mumbling into her head.
"Ye Luan, you're just a coward."
As the words fell, a flicker of pained embarrassment flashed across Ye Luan's face. With a surge of strength she didn't know she possessed, she pushed him away. Without a second glance, she turned and left. kanδん
Xiao Chi Zhan didn't chase after her. He reached out and touched the bead of blood on his neck, a faint smile gracing his lips.
"Your Highness, the Prime Minister has sent a letter."
A voice came from behind him. He silently withdrew his gaze, paced to under the banana fan, and picked up Xueqiu, who was sleeping soundly on the ground, handing it to the hidden guard behind him.
"Send her back."
"Yes."
-----
Xiao Chi Zhan returned to the inn, but as he rounded the corridor, he collided with Chi Yan, who was dressed in a seductive manner. Without even looking, she barreled straight into his embrace.
He narrowed his cold eyes, a frigid glint shooting out. He took a step back and unexpectedly grabbed the neck of the woman who had deliberately crashed into him.
"Looking to die?"
Chi Yan's face turned red as he choked, gasping for breath.
Those beautiful, clean hands seemed like blood-stained claws extended from hell, pallid and terrifyingly cold.
"I thought it was A Ba Huan, I didn't realize some brainless fool had bumped into me."
As soon as he was released, Chi Yan clutched the pillar, coughing violently from the pain. His fair neck was red.
This person had truly intended to kill.
"I never imagined the Prince of Mobei would be so blind."
She spat out the taunt through gritted teeth.
Xiao Chi Zhan narrowed his eyes slightly, smiling sinisterly, "Not only am I blind, but I'm also selectively deaf."
Chi Yan's face turned pale, a chill creeping up his spine. He unconsciously took a few steps back.
"What are you afraid of?" He disdainfully wiped his hands with a handkerchief and looked at her with mocking ridicule. "I'm giving you this chance, let's see if you're useful."
Chi Yan leaned against the red pillar, glancing back a few times. Sensing that the person had left, he crossed his arms and smiled faintly, "Your Highness indeed has extraordinary courage."
Xiao Chi Zhan smiled darkly, "Without this courage, how could the thirteen prefectures of Mobei have all returned to our Daliang."
'Your Highness has quite the tone.'
"You can try."
With that, he threw the handkerchief and turned to leave.
Chi Yan watched his arrogant retreating back, his teeth gnashing in frustration.
This madman, to be so lowly in love, how laughable!
"A Ba Huan."
Chi Yan heard the voice and withdrew his gaze, "How is it?"
"We've found out. This person is currently at the Shen residence. The Crown Prince has announced he will marry her, and she will accompany the Crown Prince to the palace this time."
Where did this woman come from, to be entangled with both of them?!
Chi Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, a wicked smile curving his lips, "Princess Xuan Le has returned, hasn't she?"
"Yes."
"Leak this information to her. There will be a good show this time."
With that, she flicked her sleeves and turned to leave.
Chi Yan did not return to his courtyard but went directly to Mo'an Hall.
Inside, it was quiet.
A person clad in a kasaya stood tall by the window. Hearing the movement, they did not turn around.
She sneered, raised her eyebrows, and walked behind him to embrace his waist.
"Holy Monk, what are you thinking about?"
Her voice was as alluring as ever, enchanting and captivating.
Xu Qing's expression was cold and distant, his facial features as profound as a Greek sculpture, his pupils the color of obsidian devoid of any impurities, as cold as a Tianshan snow lotus.
"Why?"
Chi Yan's eyebrows flicked up, "Is the Holy Monk asking why I'm trying to seduce the Prince of Mobei?"
He remained silent!
She continued, stroking his robes, "Don't you people from the Central Plains love to watch the snipe and the clam fight so the fisherman can profit? I'm just learning a thing or two to see if it works."
