- Chapter 67 - The Humble Concubine Will Not Be a Cannon Fodder 017
Not long after Sheng Nuan lured the group of assassins away, another group of black-clad men appeared ahead. They ignored the passing carriages of the manor and instead blocked Xiao Dingcheng’s route back to the city.
From a distance, Sheng Nuan sharply pulled the horse’s reins and dashed into the nearby forest…
The black-clad assassins lying in ambush ahead didn’t realize they had been exposed. Seeing what they believed was Xiao Dingcheng changing direction, they revealed themselves and began to chase after her.
The horse, however, was greatly hindered in the dense forest, and it wasn’t long before Sheng Nuan was overtaken and surrounded by the assassins.
It was only then that the assassins realized they had been chasing the wrong person… Damn!
The black-clad men fell into a brief stupor. Sheng Nuan, as she removed Xiao Dingcheng’s outer robe, chuckled and tried to negotiate, “Hey, did you guys mistake me for someone else? Haha, I was wondering why I was being chased when I haven’t offended anyone. Turns out it’s all a misunderstanding…”
She continued with a smile, “It’s a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! Since it’s a misunderstanding, how about we call it off? Haha…”
In the next instant, all the assassins raised their swords.
Sheng Nuan’s smile slowly faded, and she sighed, “Is this really necessary?”
Her expression was very sincere, “I really don’t like killing people, but if you try to kill me, I’ll have to defend myself. If it comes to that, with my lack of experience, things might get messy… If you die, don’t blame me.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the assassins attacked.
Sheng Nuan sighed, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes…
She really doesn’t like killing… but good words can’t persuade a damned ghost¹, and it’s beyond her control!
When the assassins saw it was a woman and, after being surrounded, acted shamelessly and made jokes to save themselves, they concluded that she must have been pushed out by Xiao Dingcheng to be the scapegoat.
Since they couldn’t capture Xiao Dingcheng, this woman had to be killed as a deterrent against him… For this reason, the black-clad men initially didn’t all rush in, and only five approached, aiming to be cautious.
But when those five were struck down with a sword to the throat, the remaining assassins finally realized something was amiss. Their expressions changed drastically, and their eyes filled with shock and doubt.
This kind of skill… When had such an expert appeared in the capital?
Who was this woman?
Without time to think, the assassins closed in again…
Though Sheng Nuan had a boost in strength, she was still an ordinary person. Surrounded by a multitude of black-clad assassins and lacking experience on how to conserve her energy, she fought fiercely. By the time she had taken down most of them, the remaining assassins were practically terrified out of their wits.
And Sheng Nuan herself had reached the end of her strength.
Sheng Nuan, exhausted, tried to negotiate with customer service: “Can’t you give me a full health reset?”
Customer service replied flatly: “Do you think you’re playing Honor of Kings²?”
Sheng Nuan sighed: “Bao’er³, my love for you has been misplaced…”
Customer service snorted: “Your love got me renamed to ‘Customer Service’ in the main system, you know?”
Sheng Nuan: ……
She muttered complaints but didn’t dare say more.
Though her limbs felt weak and exhausted, she didn’t show it. Instead, she put on a fearless facade and asked the remaining black-clad men with a smile, “Still want to fight?”
The assassins exchanged glances, then charged at her again…
Damn it, they weren’t scared off!
Seeing this, Sheng Nuan dropped her “expert” posture, cursed, and turned to flee… Just then, as a figure dressed in white descended.
It was Princess Lin’an.
Sheng Nuan was stunned, watching in disbelief as Princess Lin’an, who looked like a celestial being descending from the heavens, pulled out a narrow long sword and stepped in front of the assassins.
“Princess…”
Sheng Nuan didn’t dare run anymore. She sighed and turned back to join the fray.
She soon realized that Princess Lin’an’s skills were incredibly formidable… She was as graceful as a thunderous dragon. With a single strike of her sword, heads began to roll.
A few moments later, they finished off the remaining assassins. Sheng Nuan quickly walked over to Princess Lin’an, calling out, “Princess…”
Princess Lin’an turned to look at her, her ethereal, beautiful face now speckled with bl00d, giving her a strangely otherworldly appearance.
Sheng Nuan was momentarily speechless… and then, in the next instant, she saw the princess’s body sway before spitting out a mouthful of bl00d.
Sheng Nuan was horrified and rushed to catch the other person. “Princess, are you alright?”
“I won’t die,” Princess Lin’an said coldly.
Sheng Nuan was left completely bewildered…
Princess Lin’an had actually come to save her?
What kind of fantastical event is this?!
Not wanting to waste time, and fearing the situation could worsen, Sheng Nuan supported Princess Lin’an to walk. “Princess, let’s leave here first.”
The horses had already been killed by the assassins, so they could only walk… But as misfortunes never come singly, just a few steps into their journey, heavy rain suddenly began to pour from the forest sky.
Sheng Nuan wasn’t bothered by the rain, but Princess Lin’an’s face was pale, with a body on the verge of collapse. It was clear that things were not looking good.
Not daring to risk taking the princess any further in the rain, Sheng Nuan, with the help of customer service, found a nearby cave for shelter.
Thankfully, they had a fire source, and the cave was just big enough for them to take shelter… Sheng Nuan quickly started a fire, then took off her outer robe and spread it over some wood by the flames to dry.
She turned to Princess Lin’an and urged, “Princess, take off your outer clothes and dry them, or you’ll catch a cold.”
Princess Lin’an didn’t respond or move.
Sheng Nuan sighed and directly reached out… Princess Lin’an whipped his head around. “What are you doing?”
“Take off your outer robe and let it dry by the fire. Wearing wet clothes like this will make you catch a cold,” Sheng Nuan explained as she continued to persuade.
Fortunately, though Princess Lin’an said nothing, he didn’t resist either, allowing Sheng Nuan to remove his outer robe and hang it over the wood to dry.
With the intricate and heavy layers removed, their figures became more apparent, and the contrast was stark.
Princess Lin’an appeared slender, yet next to him, Sheng Nuan seemed petite and delicate in comparison… However, his face was far too pale, utterly devoid of color.
Sheng Nuan looked worried. “Princess, are you alright?”
Princess Lin’an gave her a faint glance. “I’m fine.”
But just as he spoke, bl00d suddenly trickled from the corner of his mouth… Sheng Nuan froze. “You’re coughing up bl00d! Where are you injured?”
Completely flustered, Sheng Nuan reached out, trying to check for injuries, but the next moment, her wrist was caught in a vice-like grip.
Despite being pale and coughing up bl00d, Princess Lin’an’s grip pinched like iron pliers… Sheng Nuan yelped in pain and hurriedly explained, “I just want to check if you’re hurt.”
Princess Lin’an’s gaze was deep and unreadable, his eyes roiling with emotion. After a pause, he spoke in a cold voice, “If you were worried, why didn’t you come back to see me for thirteen years?”
In the end, he couldn’t hold back any longer. He could no longer pretend they were strangers.
Sheng Nuan was stunned.
Come back… Thirteen years…
Her eyes widened in disbelief as she stared blankly at Princess Lin’an. After a long moment, she tentatively asked, “Xiaoyu?”
She couldn’t believe it. “Are you Xiaoyu?”
