Catch me? You wish!
Murong Xue lightly sneered, tapping her toes lightly, her delicate silhouette moved backwards two steps in a flash. The wind carried her hair and brushed the tips of Ye Yichen’s fingers, barely missing his grip.
Ye Yichen looked at his empty hands, his eyes darkened – after learning martial arts, be it alive or dead, if he wanted to catch something, he would be able to catch it with his hands. But Murong Xue actually escaped his clutches. What is happening?
“Your highness, the hour is almost over!” A careful reminder came from behind him. Ye Yichen’s confused look immediately turned clear and his handsome face returned to its usual coldness. He coolly replied, “I know!”
Raising his head and looking towards Murong Xue, his eyes flashed, “Murong Xue, return with me to my Mansion immediately. I can overlook the wrong words and actions you just said and did!
Upon saying that, two servants carried over a small sedan chair. Its pink roof and curtains formed a halo of warm light, hazy and aesthetically pleasing!
But Murong Xue’s eyes filled with derision – a pink small sedan, used only for marrying concubines!
Three days ago, she had thrown out Ye Yichen’s bride price. Three days later, Ye Yichen didn’t even bother with marriage formalities, didn’t register with the authorities, and didn’t even send a welcome party. A marriage sedan – he directly used a pink sedan chair to bring her into the Prince Jing Mansion as the lowest of concubines, saving on the bride price and humiliating her, completing stepping over her!
No wonder he’s the God of War. He’s always thinking about revenging on people who have gone against him.
She is the wife-born lady of the Marquis’ Mansion. In front of all the court officials and the Capital, by sitting this concubine pink sedan chair, being carried into the Mansion from the side door or even the backdoor, she will definitely be looked down upon, disdained and laughed at, becoming a side-joke at dinners and even pointed at till she is unable to look straight.
Is this what Ye Yichen calls taking care? More like he thinks that she is not ill enough, and not dying fast enough, so he is prepared to help her towards death!
Murong Xue curled her lips, and lightly sneered, “What if I say no?”
Ye Yichen had been observing Murong Xue. When she saw the pink small sedan chair, her calm eyes stirred up a storm and then immediately returned to calmness. Her rejection made him frustrated and he blurted, “Then don’t blame me for not being courteous!”
Murong Xue tutted disdainfully, “When has your Highness been courteous to me?” Since Ye Yichen returned to the Capital, he had given her if not humiliation then insult, not a bit of respect, least to say courtesy!
“Murong Xue!” Ye Yichen’s face darkened and his cold voice revealed that he had gritted his teeth in anger. He had patiently explained to her so much, but she didn’t display any happiness and didn’t even have a change of heart – only to reply to him a heartless rejection! How overconfident!
If she doesn’t accept his kindness, there is naturally no need for him to be courteous!
Ye Yichen’s eyes filled with cold hostility and his clenched fingers abruptly opened. Heavy internal strength gathered in his palm forming an unseen deadly rage dispersing into the air, bringing fear into people.
Murong Xue narrowed her eyes. The original person was a weak and delicate lady without any internal strength. Although she is good at fighting techniques, but without the help of internal strength, she definitely cannot go up against Ye Yichen!
Wind rushed towards her. It was Ye Yichen making his move. Her eyes flashed and she was just about to avoid him when she saw Murong Ye pounce in front of Ye Yichen and held his right wrist tightly, shouting, “Sister, go quickly!”
His move blocked, Ye Yichen’s face darkened till it was scary and he used the back of his palm to hit Murong Ye’s chest.
Murong Ye could not avoid in time and was hit to the ground. But without even thinking, he stretched out his arm again to tightly hug Ye Yichen’s leg!
Looking at his pale face, Murong Xue’s eyes flashed wit a complex look, “Brother!” Although Muong Ye was an incompetent playboy, when it came to his sister, he gave a hundred percent of his care!
“I’m fine!” Murong Ye looked up towards Murong Xue and forced a smile – it was worse than a look of crying. “I am a Marquis, Ye Yichen will not dare to kill me. Quickly run and find a safe place to hide. After today it’ll be fine!”
Ye Yichenhad returned victorious and was watched by the Capital. Since he went all out to take her as concubine, he definitely did not cover up his movements and there should be a lot of people in the Capital that knew he came to the Murong ancestral cemetery to ‘welcome’ the marriage!
If he killed Murong Ye here, then his position as Prince Jing would be at its end.
“Take care, brother!” Murong Xue solemnly said and without a look back, turned and ran – Ye Yichen had come to ancestral cemetery for her. If he knew that she was gone, Ye Yichen would not stay there any longer and Murong Ye would be safe!
Seeing Murong Xue run further and further, and Ye Yichen’s leg was like bound to a rock, unable to move for a bit, a darkness formed in his eyes and he harshly kicked Murong Ye, “Scram!”
A sharp pain passed through his chest and immediately dispersed to his extremities. Murong Ye cried out in pain and his arm unwilling gave way. His entire being rolled into the bushes, his handsome face pale, and whole body so painful that he burst out in cold sweat!
Ye Yichen ignored his plight and strode towards Murong Xue, chasing.
Hong Xiu and Anxiang looked at each other and rushed forward, prepared to stop him!
Ye Yichen, expressionless, flicked his finger and two bouts of internal strength lashed out and mercilessly hit Hong Xue and Anxiang such that they flew out 6, 7 meters away and heavily knocked against a tree trunk before falling onto the ground. Both were concussed and despite several tries, could not get up.
Ye Yichen didn’t even bother looking at them before he walked past and gave chase towards the direction Murong Xue had disappeared to.
Murong Xue left the cemetery and blindly ran in the tall grass. After god knows how long, a cliff appeared in front of her. The cliff was very steep and not scalable. At the bottom of the cliff, tens of meters down, were rapids with an unknown destination. The opposite cliff was tens of meters away and could not crossed!
Murong Xue’s eyes hardened and she was just prepared to run back when she saw Ye Yichen leisurely emerging from the bushes. His purple gold crown and red wedding robes were not even a bit messed up. Even in the bushes, he had a look of leisure. He calmly looked at her, and his eyes flashed an unexplainable brightness, like he had chased a prey of interest. He happily asked, “Why have you stopped running?”
“There’s no road anymore!” Murong Xue snapped. The original person’s body was sickly and even when paying her respects to the ancestors, she had only explored the area around the cemetery and had never gone far before. She didn’t know the way and had ran flustered into this dead-end.
“In front of you is a cliff, behind you are your pursuers, what are you going to do?” Ye Yichen asked lowly, moving step by step towards Murong Xue.
“Neither because I don’t want to jump off the cliff, nor do I want to be a concubine!” Murong Xue lightly smiled like a hundred flowers blossoming.
The bright smile looked strange in Ye Yichen’s eyes and he had a bad feeling.
