Hu Yan Nan’s eyes narrowed, speaking barbarically, “You are now my woman. I don’t allow you to take a single step out of this mansion. Go back!”
He gestured with his eyes for Shan Xiao Ya to return. She stood motionless, looking at Hu Yan Nan with cold disdain. Tianen Temple was right in front of her, and she could almost see its gates. How could she give up so easily? This was the only clue she currently knew about returning. So close, yet being stopped seemed impossible.
Meeting Hu Yan Nan’s icy gaze, she said, “Aren’t you overstepping? A real man should have broad ambitions. Are you really going to quibble with a woman and risk losing face?”
Hu Yan Nan narrowed his eyes dangerously, saying with some impatience and contempt, “Whatever I want to do, no one can obstruct me, let alone you. Go back quickly!”
单小雅 gritted her teeth and said, “No need for you to help, I can walk by myself.” After saying this, she glared at Hu Yannan with hatred and turned to walk down the mountain.
Hu Yannan followed behind her, watching her struggling steps, feeling a hint of compassion. He wanted several times to help her dislocated arm, but his pride prevented him from doing so. He followed behind her, looking at her stubbornness and coldness with a bit of heartache.
The reluctant Shan Xiaoya walked very slowly in front, and with the injury to her arm, she could barely move. Hu Yannan had been following her for a long time and finally lost patience. He quickly took a few steps and, before Shan Xiaoya could react, he tucked her under his arm, gathered his inner energy, and flew up to the roof, taking a shortcut to the General’s Mansion.
Upon arrival at the General’s Mansion, Hu Yannan ruthlessly threw Shan Xiaoya into the long-uninhabited lower courtyard overgrown with weeds. He coldly said, “Stay here and fend for yourself. Don’t even think about leaving the General’s Mansion.” Then he flew over the wall.
Shan Xiaoya struggled to stand up, her left arm completely useless, relying only on her right hand for support. She looked at the desolate courtyard and gave a self-deprecating smile.
