“I’ll settle the matter of secretly helping them escape with you later,” Liu Yu’s silhouette appeared on the carriage window, elegantly yet radiating an inexplicable coldness. “Listen, Lan Jiao Long, I want her to be my only queen! As for the King of Night Mountain, I want him dead!”
“Yes,” Shui Ruo Han responded weakly.
I was deeply shaken, especially by Liu Yu’s last four words, feeling like an ice-forged sword was slowly approaching us.
Raising my eyes, I saw a nameless killing intent in Night Suo’s eyes. Feeling a chill, I quickly called out, “Coachman, drive.”
“Right away…” the coachman shouted naively, driving away from the town.
y glanced at Night Suo’s eyes, nearly burning with jealousy. I decided to surrender and honestly explain, hoping for leniency, “Liu Yu…”
Seeing Night Suo’s misty eyes burning even more intensely, I quickly sat opposite him and changed my approach, “Chen Wang was imprisoned in the dungeon by your father eight years ago. At the time, my nanny and I were also imprisoned. He really liked to stick close to me… He even promised to make me his queen.”
I seemed to be speaking more and more incoherently, becoming less afraid.
He suppressed his anger, coldly saying, “Daring to hide this from me, aren’t you afraid I might kill you in a fit of rage?”
I abandoned all guilty expressions, laughing and playfully throwing myself onto him, hanging one hand on his shoulder and repeatedly lifting the corners of his mouth, pleading, “I’m not afraid. My Night is quite calm.”
“Stop trying to bewitch me,” he coldly grabbed my audacious hand, his jealous facial features softening somewhat. “I thought he was searching for us because he was wary of my blue hair. So it was actually for you.”
“It was just child’s play back then…” I nestled my head on his shoulder, looking at his handsome and demonic face and pleading again, “Besides, Night won’t mind.”
“Spending day and night together, and I won’t mind?!” he emphasized, jealousy returning to his brow.
“Then why didn’t you rush out to duel Liu Yu just now?” I quickly countered. He was stunned, seemingly unprepared for my sudden redirection. His misty eyes darkened, uncomfortably saying, “Because you just told that woman that wherever I am, you’ll be too.”
