After her mind was read, the spoiled brat became the darling of the whole group.

"Xie Mingzhu?!" Xie Yuze gripped his sword tightly and, almost without hesitation, attacked directly in the direction of Luo Hanfeng and Xie Mingzhu.

Luo Hanfeng, with Xie Mingzhu in his arms, dodged away.

As soon as he began to circulate his internal energy, his expression suddenly turned ugly.

Luo Hanfeng clutched his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood onto the ground.

Xie Yuze was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Luo Hanfeng, you've finally met your match?"

"Let's see how you escape now!"

Xie Yuze drew his sword and thrust it towards Luo Hanfeng.

Upon seeing this, Xie Mingzhu immediately tackled Luo Hanfeng and pinned him to the ground behind her.

The sword grazed Xie Mingzhu's arm.

"Ah!" Xie Mingzhu cried out in pain.

Without hesitation, Xie Yuze thrust his weapon at Xie Mingzhu again.

In desperation, Xie Mingzhu shouted, "Third Brother!"

That cry of "Third Brother" successfully stopped Xie Yuze's sword just one millimeter away from Xie Mingzhu's neck.

Xie Yuze was startled.

He looked down at his hand, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't go any further.

Xie Yuze: ?

How is this going?

He felt as if he had lost control of his body.

It felt as if his entire soul was locked inside his body, watching helplessly as he was just a hair's breadth away from taking revenge.

why? !

Why, why!

Xie Mingzhu didn't know Xie Yuze's reason, she only thought that Xie Yuze was moved by her calling him "Third Brother".

She tilted her head back, not daring to even swallow, and spoke softly: "Third Brother, I know you hate me in your heart."

"But ultimately, are you all without fault?"

Xie Yuze looked at Xie Mingzhu coldly.

He tried again, but still couldn't control the body.

How is this going?

Is it because this body isn't his that he can't control it?

Xie Yuze felt waves of soreness and numbness coming from his body.

He couldn't control this body; he could only watch helplessly as it spoke on its own: "Are these your last words?"

Xie Yuze: !

what? !

There's someone else inside his body?!

Xie Mingzhu's pupils trembled slightly. She stood in front of Luo Hanfeng, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably, falling onto the sword Xie Yuze was pointing at her neck.

"Aren't you all at fault? I should have had a happy and fulfilling family, I should have been a princess, all because of you!"

"You ruined my family, made me lose my own parents, and forced me to wag my tail and beg for mercy in front of you. I'm as lowly as a dog!"

You ungrateful wretch!

What nonsense are you spouting!

At this moment, Xie Yuze's anger was unparalleled.

Xie Mingzhu's words were so outrageous that even the original owner of Xie Yuze's body couldn't stand them anymore.

He looked at Xie Mingzhu with pity and said, "In that case, I wish you a happy family in your next life, and that you never come to our Xie family again."

After saying that, Xie Yuze staggered, but regained control of his body.

he:"……"

Xie Yuze felt really pissed off.

However, killing Xie Mingzhu has become his top priority right now.

After regaining control of his body, Xie Yuze missed with his sword and raised it again, intending to give Luo Hanfeng and Xie Mingzhu a good beating.

But this time...

After resting, Luo Hanfeng put his arm around Xie Mingzhu and quickly ran into the woods.

Xie Yuze was shocked.

"Where to run!"

He drew his sword and gave chase.

But those two blows had reopened his wound, and now it was bleeding profusely. The excessive blood loss was making him feel dizzy.

After chasing for two steps, he could no longer hold on and stood there, leaning on his sword, clutching his chest and panting.

the other side.

Luo Hanfeng pulled Xie Mingzhu and ran into the woods.

Run, run, run!

The two of them dared not stop for even a moment.

At the same time, Xie Xing and Jun Lanjin walked slowly hand in hand through the woods.

Behind them were the sounds of fighting, but in front of them lay a silent, still forest.

These two extremes strangely calmed Xie Xing's heart.

She looked down at Jun Lanjin holding her hand, and suddenly asked, "Will Your Highness take wives and concubines?"

Jun Lanjin glanced at Xie Xing: "I will only marry you. As for taking concubines, I have no such intention."

The system subtly commented: "Men's words cannot be trusted; infidelity is in a man's nature."

However, if this person is Jun Lanjin... then it's still believable.

After all, Jun Lanjin doesn't seem to have any interest in romance.

That's how it is in the original book.

The system originally thought it would be very difficult to increase Jun Lanjin's favorability, but later it found that it was easy to reach sixty.

I thought turning sixty would be a good start, but I never expected that even after holding hands and kissing, our feelings for each other would still remain at sixty.

It's stuck and I can't upload it...

This development—

A confidant is not a confidant, and a lover is not a lover.

Even the system had no idea about the future development of the two of them.

Xie Xing ignored the system's words, blinked, and asked Jun Lanjin, "I heard that men in large clans prepare concubines when they are in their teens."

"Does Your Highness have any concubines?"

Jun Lanjin: "..."

He paused, then glared at Xie Xing: "You're a woman, how can you speak so licentiously!"

Xie Xing said sweetly, "It's normal to be curious about these things since I grew up in the countryside."

It wasn't mentioned in the original book.

After all, he's a villain.

Whether a person is clean or not is not as important as the male lead.

"Your Majesty?"

Seeing that Jun Lanjin didn't speak, Xie Xing leaned over and glanced at Jun Lanjin.

Jun Lanjin: "..."

Jun Lanjin tapped Xie Xing's head impatiently, pushing her away slightly, and said, "I have been studying abroad since I was a child, learning from masters everywhere. When I returned after completing my studies, I went to war. I have no concubines."

"Besides, I am exceptionally handsome and have no interest in those women."

It can be said that, apart from the maids, Jun Lanjin's mother rarely came into contact with other women in her life.

As for those who tried to climb into Jun Lanjin's bed, they didn't even get to see Jun Lanjin's face before being kicked out.

Seeing that his expression had changed slightly and he was no longer as composed as before, Xie Xing felt a mischievous urge to play with him.

Unexpectedly, even the prince has a different side.

She seems to know everything, but she's actually so innocent.

She appears cold-hearted, yet she is pure-hearted.

Xie Xing coughed lightly and then asked, "Your Highness, I have a question that I'm quite curious about. Of course, I'm just asking, and I don't have any bad intentions."

"I hope Your Highness will not be angry."

Jun Lanjin glanced at her, and before Xie Xing could speak, he placed his finger on Xie Xing's brow. "Put away your curiosity for now. I don't want to answer."

"Oh dear!" Xie Xing grabbed Jun Lanjin's hand and shook it playfully, saying, "Your Highness, please let me tell you."

"I'm just curious."

Jun Lanjin pursed his lips, withdrew his hand, and asked calmly, "Speak."

Xie Xing coughed lightly: "Your Highness, a man like you, I mean a man like you who is untouched by worldly affairs."

"What I mean is, I'm just curious, don't you have desires for sexual pleasure?"

Jun Lanjin: "..."

Jun Lanjin stumbled.

He turned his head in embarrassment and annoyance, and scoffed, "What nonsense are you spouting!"
