Feng Yexuan's words sent a jolt through Chu Qianli.
This man in black was a figure known throughout the Northern Underworld Kingdom.
Jian Wuying, the foremost assassin!
No wonder his martial arts were so formidable; even with his vital points struck by silver needles multiple times, he could still stand!
As the two sized up Jian Wuying, he was also observing them.
He sneered, "The esteemed War God of Northern Underworld, Prince Xuan, actually ventured alone into this land of death for a mere woman."
"It seems the rumors outside that Prince Xuan dislikes his new bride are all false."
Finally, his gaze locked onto Chu Qianli.
The coldness in his eyes intensified in an instant.
"Do you truly believe the weak woman you brought back is incapable of even lifting a chicken?"
This woman had nearly taken his life several times.
She was incapable of lifting a chicken?
What a joke!
Feng Yexuan remained expressionless, the internal energy in his palm unreleased, maintaining his guard against Jian Wuying.
After taking a deep breath, Jian Wuying suddenly leaped up and swiftly retreated behind them.
"This debt will be repaid another day. Chu Qianli, you had better stay alive until I return!"
The tree shadows rustled.
Feng Yexuan had no intention of pursuing. After Jian Wuying left, he immediately headed in the direction from which the moonlight came.
Chu Qianli, however, was still pondering Jian Wuying's words.
The meaning was clear: she had made an enemy of him.
Once he recovered from his injuries, even if no one paid to have her killed, he would personally end her!
Having stirred up such a significant problem, her future days would likely be difficult.
"Still not leaving? Do you want to stay until when?" a chilling voice suddenly sounded.
Chu Qianli's thoughts snapped back. She turned her head and saw Feng Yexuan staring at her, a hint of displeasure in his eyes.
She was somewhat taken aback.
Why did that look seem like jealousy and anger?
But Prince Xuan being jealous of her? What a joke!
This man had been affected by an aphrodisiac because of her in the early hours of the morning.
At this moment, he probably wished he could tear her apart.
It was truly unexpected that he would come to save her.
"Thank you." Regardless, he had saved her life.
It was only right to say thank you.
Unexpectedly, Feng Yexuan let out a cold laugh, "Do you think I came here to save you?"
Chu Qianli remained silent. Was it not?
"I merely came to capture you and flay your skin myself!" He quickened his pace.
Chu Qianli's heart grew cold.
As expected, Prince Xuan hated her to the core.
She didn't know what punishment awaited her if she returned with him. If she didn't...
Awoo—
The sound of wolf howls was clearly not far away.
However, because Jian Wuying and Feng Yexuan both exuded an aura of extreme coldness and killing intent, even the wild wolves feared them.
They dared not approach casually.
Chu Qianli immediately quickened her pace, following closely behind Feng Yexuan.
She had used most of her silver needles. If a few more wild wolves appeared, she might not be able to handle them.
Feng Yexuan, walking ahead, spoke in an extremely cold tone, "Besides wild wolves, there are venomous snakes and ferocious beasts here. If you don't hurry, don't blame me for abandoning you."
Chu Qianli practically ran, keeping close.
No one could see that Feng Yexuan, hearing her anxious panting, finally allowed his face, which had been tense all night, to relax slightly.
There was even a hint of a smile in his eyes, one he himself didn't notice.
This damned woman finally showed some fear.
He had thought she was truly so audacious as to fear nothing!
After all, she was still a woman...
Upon returning to the foot of the cliff, Chu Qianli was so out of breath she could barely stand.
Feng Yexuan paused. She couldn't stop herself and ran headfirst into his broad, firm back.
