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

Meanwhile, Xie Xing was captured by two guards and taken to some unknown place, a secluded spot.

This place is like a base, built on the mountain like the Ghost Palace.

Not long after Xie Xing was locked in a room, the door was kicked open, and Luo Hanfeng staggered in, supported by someone.

The guards tried to treat Luo Hanfeng's wounds, but Luo Hanfeng coldly told them to get lost!

The guard trembled, glanced at Xie Xing, and then obediently withdrew.

As soon as the guards withdrew, the surroundings fell silent.

Luo Hanfeng leaned against the bed in a disheveled state, his hands shrugged, his face extremely pale. The only sound in the room was his heavy breathing.

Xie Xing's back stiffened, and he glanced at Luo Hanfeng with curiosity.

Luo Hanfeng had blood on his lips, and his light brown eyes were quietly looking in her direction.

Xie Xing: "..."

She shrank back in fright and moved further away from Luo Hanfeng once more.

The surroundings were completely silent, except for Luo Hanfeng's gloomy eyes, which seemed to want to kill.

Xie Xing coughed lightly. To save his life, he could only say, "Let's make this clear beforehand, I didn't call this person here. You can't blame me for it."

Why does he look so disheveled?

[Could it be that he was beaten by the prince?]

Xie Xing harbored suspicions while glancing at Luo Hanfeng from time to time.

Luo Hanfeng laughed: "If you want to see, why don't you come over and I'll show you openly and honestly."

"Look at your lover, look what he did to me, it makes you feel so good."

Xie Xing trembled.

She touched her nose and chuckled awkwardly, "Haha, don't you dare slander me, he's not my lover."

"Is that so... cough cough cough." Luo Hanfeng coughed as he said, "If he's not your lover, then who is?"

"Jun Lanjin?"

"I heard it just now. Even when you saw him, you kept calling him 'Your Highness.' Do you really want your prince to come and save you?"

Luo Hanfeng became more agitated and soon spat out another mouthful of blood. He then lowered his head and remained motionless.

Xie Xing: "..."

[At this rate of vomiting, could he be dead?]

[Oh my god, go take a look! He's the male lead, he can't die!] The system panicked.

Xie Xing was speechless.

She cautiously approached Luo Hanfeng, intending to check his breathing to see if he was really going to die.

suddenly!

Luo Hanfeng raised his hand and suddenly grabbed Xie Xing's wrist.

He raised his head, his bloodstained lips looking incredibly alluring. He laughed, and this laugh diluted the gloom hidden in his eyes, even revealing a touch of childlike innocence.

"Got you."

Luo Hanfeng looked at Xie Xing smugly.

Xie Xing: "..."

system:【……】

One person, one rule, just stared speechlessly at Luo Hanfeng.

Xie Xing said, "With such serious injuries, why don't you find a doctor to take a look at you?"

Luo Hanfeng grasped Xie Xing's hand, raised his head, and looked directly at Xie Xing.

He tilted his head, leaning against the bedside with a somewhat unruly air, as if he didn't care about his injuries at all: "What, are you worried about me?"

"It was your lover who hit you."

Xie Xing: "..."

[You keep calling me your lover, how come I don't beat you to death?]

Luo Hanfeng was like the weather, changing his expression constantly; one second he was smiling, the next he turned cold.

"Speak up, are you worried about me?"

Knowing full well that Luo Hanfeng had a perverse obsession with her, Xie Xing was even less likely to give Luo Hanfeng hope at this time. She said, "I'm afraid you'll die here and your guards will tear me apart."

When Luo Hanfeng heard these words, he only heard the first half, not the second half.

He smiled again.

With a sudden pull, he drew Xie Xing into his arms and whispered, "I knew you were worried about me."

Xie Xing: ?

This person has become obsessed.

She stayed in Luo Hanfeng's arms, thought for a moment, and then decided to shut up and not say anything.

She fell silent, but Luo Hanfeng continued to chatter on and on.

"I fought him today. No wonder he is the Ghost King of the Ghost Palace. He is very strong. If I hadn't been injured before, I wouldn't have been defeated by him so easily."

"Of course, he was a max-level villain from the start."

Xie Xing didn't reply, but silently complained in his heart.

In fact, if Jun Lanjin hadn't been either poisoned or on his way to being poisoned, Luo Hanfeng wouldn't have even made it this far.

Luo Hanfeng gritted his teeth and said bitterly, "He will definitely not get away with this. My Frost Palm is not to be trifled with. When we get back, I'll freeze him into an ice sculpture."

Xie Xing: [So you're quite capable, huh?]

As Luo Hanfeng spoke, he changed the subject: "Jun Lanjin doesn't love you at all; he only wants to use you."

Xie Xing paused for a moment.

She looked up and met Luo Hanfeng's light brown eyes.

"He only uses you; all his kindness is fake. He's not even as sincere as I am towards you."

"Xie Xing, give me a month. If you haven't fallen in love with me after a month, I'll let you go."

"Don't love him, love me instead, okay?"

Luo Hanfeng's eyes were full of seriousness.

Xie Xing: "..."

Xie Xing remained silent.

She really didn't know what Luo Hanfeng was talking about.

After much thought, Xie Xing couldn't help but ask the system: "Didn't you say he was the most cunning and manipulative person? Why do I now think he's just a love-struck fool?"

The system said sarcastically, "How do you know that his current love-struck behavior isn't just an act to deceive you?"

Xie Xing: "..."

is it necessary?

Luo Hanfeng's face darkened.

System: [He's making promises to you now, but over there, he also promised the female lead, Xie Mingzhu, the position of Empress, didn't he?]

Ultimately, he only loves himself.

He craves power, which is why he can navigate relationships with Xie Mingzhu. He might also find you novel, hence his unwavering devotion to you.

Never be fooled by a man's facade.

Xie Xing's eyes widened.

Xie Xing suddenly realized.

Xie Xing praised, "System, it seems you really know a lot."

The system's tone was deep and serious: "We system developers have seen it all, and we understand it all. You are not my first host."

I only wish you could guard your heart.

Luo Hanfeng: "..."

It's not a pleasant feeling to be spoken ill of to someone's face.

He was not convinced.

Why is he given such a negative evaluation?

He's not a good person, but Jun Lanjin is?!

As if hearing his thoughts, Xie Xing said, "Don't worry, I can tell the difference."

Luo Hanfeng: "..."

Upon hearing these words, Luo Hanfeng silently shattered once again.

He only felt that his physical injuries had worsened.

it hurts.

dying.

In a corner where Xie Xing couldn't see, Luo Hanfeng's face contorted into a grimace.

He's not a good person!

It's all Jun Lanjin's fault for pretending to be a good person!

He wanted to personally tear off this man's hypocritical mask in front of Xie Xing.

Just as his face contorted in rage, he heard Xie Xing say, "Seventh Prince, since you're going to set a one-month agreement for me, how about this..."
