As soon as I put it on, I met a sickly man

The flames flickered, and figures loomed. It was impossible to tell who was coming, or whether they were friend or foe. Jiang Yue's brow furrowed slightly, a sense of unease rising in her heart, a premonition confirmed when she saw who was coming. They were none other than Mu Yang and Lin Ran. Mu Yang's face was terrifyingly gloomy, like the dark clouds before a storm, oppressive and suffocating. Lin Ran wore his usual sneer, which looked particularly sinister in the flickering flames, as chilling as the venom of a venomous snake. Jiang Yue's heart sank to the bottom of the valley, and a feeling of powerlessness spread throughout her body. She knew that this time, she was in big trouble.

Mu Yang walked to the front of the villa, his eyes fixed on Jiang Yue. They were filled with hurt and anger, mixed with a hint of possessiveness, making Jiang Yue feel uncomfortable. He opened his thin lips slightly, his voice low and hoarse, with a hint of suppressed anger, "Yuer, why did you leave me? You know very well that you are mine..."

Jiang Yue felt a wave of despair. She tried to remain calm and said in a calm tone, "Your Highness, I think you misunderstood. I have never been yours, and I have never promised you anything."

Mu Yang's expression grew even darker. He took a step forward, approaching Jiang Yue with a dangerous look in his eyes. "Yuer, don't try to challenge my bottom line. You can't escape. You can only be mine!"

"Your Highness, please respect yourself!" Jiang Yue suppressed her fear and tried to remain calm. She knew that facing a yandere like Mu Yang, any sign of weakness would only make him more aggressive.

Mu Yang acted as if he hadn't heard her words and continued, "Yu'er, come back with me. I can forgive you for what happened. You are still my princess. I will treat you well and will never let you suffer any grievances again."

"Your Highness, you really misunderstood. I have never had any romantic feelings for you. You can't give me what I want." Jiang Yue's voice was filled with fatigue. She was really tired of this endless entanglement.

Mu Yang suddenly laughed, and that laugh was creepy. "Can't give it to me? Yue'er, there is nothing in this world that I, Mu Yang, can't get! You are no exception!"

Lin Ran, standing aside, remained silent. He watched all this with a cold eye, the smile on his lips growing deeper and deeper. He enjoyed watching Jiang Yue struggle, enjoyed watching her helpless. This gave him a perverted sense of satisfaction.

Ding Chen couldn't bear to watch any longer. He protected Jiang Yue behind him and looked at Mu Yang firmly. "Your Majesty, Miss Jiang doesn't want to go with you. Please don't bother her anymore!"

When Mu Yang heard this, he could no longer suppress the anger in his eyes. He turned his head and looked at Ding Chen with a cold tone, "Ding Chen, you are looking for death!"

"Your Highness, I'm just protecting the woman I love. What's wrong with that?" Ding Chen met Mu Yang's gaze without fear.

"My beloved woman?" Mu Yang laughed in anger, "Ding Chen, do you think you are worthy?!" He turned his head and ordered Lin Ran coldly, "Lin Ran, do it!"

Lin Ran couldn't wait any longer. He nodded with a sinister smile, "Yes, Your Highness!" With a wave of his hand, his men pounced on Ding Chen and his servants like hungry wolves. While Ding Chen's servants were well-trained, Lin Ran's men were clearly well-prepared. Their numbers were numerous, and their attacks were brutal. Ding Chen's servants gradually lost ground. Lin Ran's men were extremely cunning, constantly employing underhanded tactics, targeting vital parts of the human body, each one deadly... Lin Ran grinned grimly, inching closer to Jiang Yue, who was protected by the crowd behind him. A greedy glint flashed in his eyes, "Miss Jiang, offending Your Highness is not a wise move..." He reached out, ready to grab Jiang Yue...

In a flash, Ding Chen dashed in front of Jiang Yue and swung his sword to deflect Lin Ran's outstretched hand. "Lin Ran, just try to touch her!" Ding Chen roared, his eyes burning with fire.

Lin Ran sneered, "Ding Chen, you can't even save yourself, and you're still thinking of being a hero and saving the damsel in distress? How ridiculous!" As soon as he finished speaking, he engaged in a fierce battle with Ding Chen. Blades flashed and shadows clashed, and for a moment, it was difficult to tell who was winning.

Though loyal to their master, Ding Chen's servants were gradually outmatched by Lin Ran's well-trained men. They outnumbered them, their attacks were brutal, and their strikes targeted vital points, each one fatal. Ding Chen's servants gradually became covered in wounds, and their movements began to slow.

Seeing Ding Chen and his servants gradually losing ground, Jiang Yue was extremely anxious. She bit her lower lip tightly, feeling extremely anxious. Although she was an expert in medicine, she did not know martial arts and could not directly participate in the battle.

"Miss, be careful!" Qiu'er exclaimed, protecting Jiang Yue behind her. A man in black took advantage of the chaos to get behind Jiang Yue and slashed at her with a knife.

At the critical moment, Ding Chen caught a glimpse of this scene. He struggled to force Lin Ran back, then leaped forward and blocked Jiang Yue and Qiu'er. The blade ripped through his clothes, leaving a deep wound on his arm, and blood instantly dyed his sleeve red.

"Ding Chen!" Jiang Yue exclaimed, her eyes instantly red. She couldn't just stand by and watch like this any longer!

Jiang Yue stopped retreating. She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. Her eyes quickly scanned the surroundings, finally landing on a patch of dense grass beside the courtyard. Images and properties of various herbs flashed through her mind, and a bold plan gradually took shape in her mind.

While no one was paying attention, she quietly slipped to the edge of the bushes and quickly picked some herbs. These herbs looked ordinary, but in fact they were all highly toxic. With simple processing, they could be made into a powerful poison.

Relying on his superb medical skills and the experience accumulated in his previous life, Jiang Yue quickly crushed the herbs, mixed them together, and then made some simple poison powder.

She carefully hid the poison powder in her sleeve, then quietly went behind Lin Ran's men and sprinkled the poison powder on them when they were not paying attention.

Lin Ran's men were caught off guard and, after inhaling the poison powder, began to feel dizzy and weak. Their swords fell to the ground one after another, and they staggered to the ground like drunkards.

Ding Chen's pressure was immediately relieved a lot. He seized the opportunity and repelled the remaining men in black one by one.

Mu Yang's face darkened when he saw this. He had never imagined that Jiang Yue would actually use poison! He glared at Jiang Yue angrily, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

He rushed towards Jiang Yue, trying to take her away by force. Jiang Yue dodged and provoked Mu Yang with words, "Prince, you will never win my heart like this! You will only make me hate you more!"

Mu Yang was enraged by Jiang Yue's words, and he attacked even more ruthlessly, with each move being fatal!

Mu Yang became even more furious when he saw Jiang Yue helping Ding Chen. His scarlet eyes fixed on Jiang Yue, as if he wanted to devour her. He personally rushed towards Jiang Yue, as fast as lightning, trying to take her away by force. Jiang Yue nimbly dodged Mu Yang's attacks. As she dodged, she provoked Mu Yang with words, "Your Highness, you will never win my heart like this! You will only make me hate you more! Do you think you can win me by force? You are wrong!"

Seeing Jiang Yue in danger, Ding Chen desperately rushed towards Mu Yang, blocking Jiang Yue and trying to stop him. "Mu Yang! Stop! You can't take her away!" Ding Chen roared, his voice trembling with anger.

"Ding Chen, get out of here!" Mu Yang was furious. He didn't expect Ding Chen to dare to stop him.

"I won't let you hurt her!" Ding Chen said firmly, his eyes filled with determination. "I will protect her with my life!"

Jiang Yue was deeply moved when she heard Ding Chen's words. She hadn't expected Ding Chen to go so far as to confront Mu Yang for her. Her eyes welled up, but she fought back the tears. She knew now wasn't the time to cry; she had to find a way to resolve this crisis.

Mu Yang was enraged by Ding Chen's words. He pulled out a sharp dagger from his waist and pointed it at Ding Chen. "You're looking for death!"

Ding Chen met Mu Yang's gaze without fear, "Even if I die, I will protect her!"

Mu Yang raised the dagger and stabbed at Ding Chen. Jiang Yue's heart leaped into her throat, worried about Ding Chen's safety. She didn't know how to resolve this crisis. In the nick of time, Ding Chen's servant risked his life to push Ding Chen away, and the dagger pierced the servant's chest. The servant groaned and collapsed in a pool of blood.

Ding Chen was heartbroken, he hugged the servant lying in a pool of blood, tears streaming down his face. Jiang Yue was also stunned by this sudden change, she did not expect that someone would sacrifice their life to save Ding Chen.

Mu Yang was stunned when he saw his dagger pierce Ding Chen's servant. Then, a ferocious smile appeared on his face. "Hahaha! Ding Chen, this is what happens when you go against me! Do you think you can protect her? You are too naive!"

Jiang Yue looked at Mu Yang's ferocious smile, her heart filled with fear and anger. She knew that Mu Yang was a ruthless man who could do anything. She had to find a way to escape from here, otherwise, both she and Ding Chen would be in danger.

Just as Mu Yang raised his dagger to stab Ding Chen again, a melodious flute sound suddenly rang out. This flute sound seemed to have a mysterious power that stunned everyone present. Mu Yang's movements also stopped. He turned his head to look in the direction of the flute sound, and a puzzled expression appeared on his face.

"Who is it?" Mu Yang asked in a low voice, with a hint of vigilance in his voice.

The sound of the flute grew closer, and a figure in white slowly appeared in everyone's sight! He held a jade flute in his hand, and the sound of the flute came from this jade flute. He walked in front of Mu Yang, stopped, and slowly raised his head, revealing his face.

"It's you..." Mu Yang's face turned pale instantly, and his voice trembled, as if he had seen something terrible. The man in white raised a meaningful smile at the corner of his mouth, "Long time no see, Mu Yang..."
