Chapter 81: Taking your life is just a breath away

At the end of October, the streets and alleys in Beijing were filled with a bleak and chilly atmosphere.

The cold wind blew in the middle of the night, the tree trunks swayed, and countless yellow and withered leaves fell down.

Soon, the ground was covered with a layer.

With a creaking sound, a figure emerged from a hole in the wall of a house. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, he ran away in the darkness.

The fallen leaves rustled as my feet stepped on them.

She was dressed as a maid, with an unbandaged wound on her forehead exposed, emitting a faint smell of blood.

But at this moment, she couldn't care less. She had to escape first! Staying in the mansion would only lead to death!

A team of patrolling soldiers passed by, and she was so frightened that she quickly ducked and hid in a garbage dump on the side of the road.

After a long time, she made sure that the person had gone far away before she stuck her head out.

Shaking off the debris from her body and shoulders, she spat in disgust: "Bah! When I turn things around, I will repay you for all this suffering double!"

After venting her anger, she ran away.

But at the end of the alley a few steps away, a man was standing against the wall, quietly as if waiting for something.

The woman couldn't see his face, but she instinctively felt the murderous aura around him.

She panicked and turned around to run, but before she could take a few steps, she was picked up by someone, carried across the streets and alleys of the capital, and finally abandoned in a desolate courtyard.

The woman was carelessly thrown to the ground, the sudden impact knocking her unconscious. The dry wound on her forehead began to ooze blood again.

The woman looked up and found that there was already someone in the yard.

The moonlight reflected on his face, casting a strong and resolute outline.

If this person is not Mu Rong, then who else could he be?

"Mrs. Xu, where are you going so late at night?" He looked at Xu Liu coldly.

Xu Liu was panicked. The bleak aura emanating from Mu Rong made her feel the threat of death.

Bringing her here will definitely not lead to anything good!

Xu Liu knelt down with a plop, and said submissively, "There is a misunderstanding between this subject and Sister Rong. I would like to step out for a few days. When Sister Rong has calmed down, I will go back and explain to her."

"Is this a fatal misunderstanding?" Mu Rong slowly walked up to her and looked down at her. "This woman, whom I wouldn't even touch with a hair, you dare to poison her..." Xu Liu was panicking: "My Lord, please spare me! My Lord, please spare me!"

Mu Rong's face was stern. "You don't think I brought you here just to save your life, do you?"

Xu Liu choked up. She looked at the deserted courtyard and knew that there was nowhere to hide tonight.

She simply stood up and glared at Mu Rong with red eyes: "My Lord, don't forget, I am Xu Rongrong's nominal mother! If I die, she will have to observe mourning for three years!"

Mu Rong sneered, "Who said you were dead? Madam Xu clearly returned to the old house that night. As for you... you were just a beggar who died of hunger and cold in the middle of the night."

"No! Don't... Help..." Xu Liu wanted to shout for help.

Mu Ai, who had been silent all the time, suddenly took action and broke her larynx.

Xu Liu fell to the ground, twitching and rolling all over.

Large mouthfuls of blood gushed out of her mouth, and she stared at Mu Rong with a vicious look.

Mu Rong looked at her calmly, watching her die slowly and painfully from bleeding and suffocation.

After a long time, everything fell silent.

"Let's pack it up." Mu Rong said this and disappeared into the night.

……

Returning to the Mu residence, he climbed over the wall and came to Xu Rongrong's room.

The girl had already fallen asleep, and the moonlight shone through the window lattice, illuminating her peaceful sleeping face.

Mu Rong leaned over and gently kissed her forehead.

The girl's sweet fragrance filled his mouth and nose, but just a quick taste was far from enough to satisfy him.

His lips slowly moved down and entangled with hers.

"Hmm..." The sleeping girl seemed to be waking up, and he raised his hand to touch her sleeping spot.

The girl stopped struggling and collapsed beneath him.

His red lips were pried open, his pearly teeth parted, letting him do whatever he wanted...

This was the first time he was so close to her since returning from the hunting ground.

It was like a fish that had been out of water for a long time, and in its extreme hunger and thirst, it found a clear spring and wanted to swallow it whole.

After a long time, he reluctantly let her go.

It seemed that because the kiss just now was too intense, Xu Rongrong's cheeks flushed and her brows were slightly wrinkled.

He smoothed the wrinkles between her brows with his fingertips.

"Don't be afraid, I will protect you." He lowered his head again and kissed the corner of her lips.

Afterwards, I left with a hint of reluctance.

The cold wind in the yard blew away the beauty in his heart. In the past life... when everything was settled, he looked back on her short life.

Only then did I realize how much suffering she had endured.

Xu Liu destroyed her girlhood and also destroyed Wen Yao and Luo Shu, whom she regarded as sisters.

But such a filthy thing is not worthy of polluting her eyes.

Let him handle it.

He pursed his lips and looked up at the deep night sky.

After a long silence, he whispered, "Come out."

Chu He stepped out from the shadows: "When did the Marquis become such a pervert?"

Mu Rong looked at him coldly: "This is not the place for you."

"I'm Miss Xu's bodyguard. Since someone broke into her courtyard, I had to come."

Mu Rong sneered, "Can you stop me?" A flash of light appeared in Chu He's hand, and two flying knives shot out quickly, heading towards Mu Rong's face.

Mu Rong did not move, but stretched out his right hand and the flying knife fell into his fingertips.

He waved his hand casually, and with a "swish" sound of breaking through the wind, the two flying knives sank deeply into the tree trunk beside them and disappeared without a trace.

The next moment, Chu He's palm wind attacked, forcing Mu Rong to leap into the air.

The two sides fought fiercely, and every move was fatal.

But not a single leaf in the yard was damaged.

Another flash of light and shadow appeared, and the hidden weapon in Chu He's hand flew out. Mu Rong dodged sideways and several strands of hair were cut off.

But Mu Rong's hand had already grasped Chu He's throat, and with just a little force, he could break it.

Mu Rong looked at him and said, "This is the second time you have been defeated by me." Chu He clenched his fists. In his previous life, he had fought with Mu Rong countless times, and the outcome was difficult to determine.

But how could there be such a difference in this life?

Could it be?

Chu He asked: "When was your previous life..."

"Seventeen years of Rongjing... After your death, I lived another eighteen years." Mu Rong replied.

"Did you avenge her?"

"Of course!" Mu Rong's eyes were deep, as if he was thinking of the day when Wu Tianqi was pierced by thousands of arrows.

He ordered the Mu family army not to hurt their vital parts.

He just watched from afar, looking at the man whose body was pierced by sharp arrows and who was wailing like a hedgehog.

Only when the other party could no longer scream and move did he draw his bow and shoot an arrow through his chest.

"Then why don't you kill me?" Chu He interrupted Mu Rong's thoughts.

Although it was not his intention, Xu Rongrong in her previous life died at his hands after all. Since Mu Rong did not even let Wu Tianqi, the emperor, go, how could he let him go?

This is also what he has been puzzled about.

The sky gradually turned white. Mu Rong looked at the faint white light with a deep gaze. "It will only take a breath to take your life. I won't kill you because she doesn't want you to die. But if you dare to hurt her, I will make you live a life worse than death!"

"You too." Chu He replied.

Mu Rong raised an eyebrow: "Hmm?"

"If you dare to hurt or humiliate her again, I will take your life even if it means my own death!"
