Crossing the World: This Prince is a Little Sweet

"Just passing by..."

Xue Ye looked at the unruly woman sitting on the chair, his cold eyes and eyebrows carrying an incomprehensible emotion.

"On the way? Where are you going?"

Sikong Shu turned her head to look at him. After not seeing him for a long time, she found that the man's aura was even colder.

"No, I just wanted to come and take a look..."

"Look? What's so good about this place? It's still the same as always."

Sikong Shu opened the envelope, took out the letter, and read it carefully. After a while, she threw the letter aside and snorted, "This old woman is really up to no good."

"What does she want you to do?" Xue Ye raised his eyebrows and looked up at Sikong Shu who had a cold face.

"Nothing, just asking me to prepare a poison for her. But this kind of ordering attitude is very annoying."

Sikong Shu curled her lips in disdain.

"Then will you give it to her?"

"Give it to me...why not...if it weren't for her protection, I would have died a long time ago, not to mention founding the Yanyue Palace. I still have to help with this little favor."

Sikong Shu then took out a bottle of medicine from her arms and threw it to him.

"Just give it to her. She knows how to use it."

"So fast?"

Xue Ye reached out to catch the small bottle thrown from the air, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"It's just a bottle of poison, I have plenty of it..." Sikong Shu chuckled.

"Goodbye then." Xue Ye was about to turn around and leave.

"Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Don't you plan to stay with me?" Sikong Shu tried to persuade him to stay.

"How can I accompany you?"

Xue Ye stopped and turned back to look at her.

"Then how do you want to accompany me?"

Sikong Shu stood up from her seat barefoot, walked towards him with a sweet smile. Just as her slender hand placed on Xue Ye's shoulder, Xue Ye quickly dodged a few meters away.

"Ouch, you're moving so fast. I'm not really going to eat you."

“I’m afraid you’ll poison me.”

After Xue Ye said these words, his figure disappeared.

"Oh... that's boring."

Sikong Shu put down her hand that was suspended in mid-air and turned away.

Xue Ye, who had originally left, was now hiding in a secluded dark place. He had a complicated expression on his face. After noticing Sikong Shu's departure, he stayed still for a moment before actually leaving the hall.

In Shangguan Villa, Chu Xi began to treat Shangguan Yun as usual.

"Senior, the water temperature is just right now. Let's get started."

Chu Xi tested the temperature of the medicine in the bucket and spoke to Shangguan Yun very politely.

"Okay, I'll have to trouble Your Highness Changsun from now on."

Shangguan Yun was gently carried into the bathtub by her aunt Li Qing, and the warm medicine just covered her neck.

Shangguan Yun, sitting upright, looked up at Chu Xi standing in front of her and said with a smile, "Your Highness Changsun, I'm curious...how did you and Shuo'er meet?"

Chu Xi was suddenly stunned by Shangguan Yun’s question. How did they know each other?

You can't say that you took advantage of Yan Jingshuo for half an hour when you first met him in the secret room, right?

"Actually, I encountered an assassin on the way to the palace to attend a banquet, and the prince rescued me. That's how we met." Chu Xi said vaguely.

"So that's how it is... Your Highness Changsun, thank you... for saving Shuo'er."

Shangguan Yun looked at Chu Xi with gratitude in her eyes.

"Senior, you are too kind. This is what I should do."

"No... I understand the hardships involved. These are not something an ordinary woman can do. I am really grateful to you."

Shangguan Yun has been searching for an antidote for so many years but to no avail. She is the only one who knows the torment involved.

"Thank you for your understanding..."

Chu Xi's heart was slightly moved, at least his efforts were not in vain.

She knew Shangguan Yun was a very good person.

"Shuo'er is really lucky to meet such a good girl like you."

"Actually... I'm not... that good..." Chu Xi smiled awkwardly.

"No, you are His Royal Highness the eldest grandson. You have done well enough."

Shangguan Yun actually understood what Chu Xi said, but she felt that compared to the life-saving grace, these were really nothing.

"Senior, I..."

Chu Xi was about to speak when she heard the sound of swords outside. She immediately walked towards the door and opened a small crack to check.

They found that there were many men in black outside the yard, and Yan Jingshuo and his men were fighting with them. The men in black were subdued by them in a few moves.

Just as they breathed a sigh of relief, many arrows suddenly shot towards them from outside the courtyard wall. Each arrow was wrapped with oil-soaked cotton cloth and burned with flames, and flew straight towards the house where Chu Xi and Shangguan Yun were.

Upon seeing this, Yan Jingshuo immediately flew in front of the house and used all his internal strength to stop all the arrows in mid-air. Then he stretched out his hand and quickly reversed them in one direction. Suddenly, a wailing sound was heard from outside.

This move stunned Nangong Yu, Shangguan Qi and others. Yi Yue Liuyun also admired Yan Jingshuo's martial arts attainments. They were of similar age, but his martial arts were several levels higher than theirs.

Sun Yuqiong, who was hiding in the dark, cursed in her heart as she watched Yan Jingshuo's actions. How could this kid's martial arts be so powerful?

Isn't he poisoned?

Could it be... Sun Yuqiong didn't dare to think further, she immediately ordered the other men to shoot in both directions, half of the arrows were shot towards the hut, and the other half were shot towards the other house.

The arrows shot at the hut were all blocked by Yan Jingshuo one by one, but the arrows from the other side successfully hit the house, and the house instantly caught fire.

"Hurry... put out the fire..."

Shangguan Qi immediately ordered his men to put out the fire, while Yan Jingshuo stood guard over the hut motionlessly.

His eyes fell on a corner not far away, then he raised his hand and shot a stone towards that corner. The stone went straight through Sun Yuqiong's shoulder and sank into the wall behind her.

Sun Yuqiong didn't dare to groan in pain, but stared at Yan Jingshuo fiercely, wishing she could cut him into pieces.

"What happened outside?"

Shangguan Yun, who had been practicing qigong with her eyes closed, opened her eyes and looked at Chu Xi who was standing at the door in confusion.

"It's okay, senior, just relax and breathe." Chu Xi closed the door and walked to her side, giving her a reassuring look.

"Is there an assassin?"

Shangguan Yun is no fool. She knows that something must have happened with such a big commotion outside.

"Yes, it should be someone from Yanyue Palace."

Chu Xi nodded, guessing that they must know that she helped Shangguan Yun detoxify.

"This……"

When Shangguan Yun heard that it was someone from Yanyue Palace, she frowned and began to worry about the situation outside. She knew Sikong Shu's character too well. She was insidious, cunning, cruel and ruthless, and she loved to poison people secretly.

"Don't worry, senior. They have martial arts skills to protect themselves. They will be fine."

"Is that woman here too?"

"What woman?"

"Sikong Shu"

As soon as Shangguan Yun mentioned these words, her face instantly darkened. One day she would have to kill this crazy woman with her own hands, otherwise it would be difficult to relieve the hatred in her heart and the many hardships she had endured over the years.

She must make this woman look good.

"Sikong Shu?"

Chu Xi has heard this name more than once. Who is she?
