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

The guard immediately carried Jun Lanjin on his back, then turned to Xie Xing and said, "Fifth Miss Xie, I'll take the Prince first, leaving one guard behind to accompany you."

Xie Xing subconsciously wanted to nod, but then she thought again, what if she was killed while following Luo Hanfeng alone?

She immediately shook her head and said, "Take me with you too, I want to go with the prince."

As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Hanfeng grabbed her hand.

Luo Hanfeng appeared gentle and refined. He said softly, "Your Highness's safety is more important. I'm here, and I will protect Miss Xie."

Xie Xing turned around in alarm.

She doesn’t want it!

The Blood Fiend Guard paused, but it was clear that Jun Lanjin's life was more important at this moment. He could only nod slightly, then, carrying Jun Lanjin on his back, used his lightness skill and disappeared from Xie Xing's sight in a few leaps.

Only Luo Hanfeng, Xie Xing, and the remaining Blood Fiend Guard were left behind.

Luo Hanfeng looked down at her: "What? Fifth Miss Xie, do you not want to see me?"

Although her voice was gentle, the grip on Xie Xing's wrist gradually tightened.

"Hiss." Xie Xing bit her lip in pain, her almond-shaped eyes reddening, but she dared not speak out in anger.

Luo Hanfeng smiled faintly and released Xie Xing's hands.

Xie Xing immediately jumped away, getting eight zhang away from Luo Hanfeng.

Seeing her eagerness to escape from his side, Luo Hanfeng's eyes deepened. He put his hands behind his back and gently rubbed his fingertips together.

Ah, we can't keep avoiding him like this.

Luo Hanfeng's eyes flickered slightly.

The guards led the way, while Xie Xing followed behind them, keeping a safe distance from Luo Hanfeng.

The surroundings were quiet, and neither of them spoke.

But Xie Xing's heart was not at peace.

[Jun Lanjin suffered such serious injuries, will he ever recover?]

[And what about the poison in his body? Could it have worsened because of this?]

[I think Luo Hanfeng is definitely up to no good. Could he be trying to figure me out here?]

Xie Xing had a miserable look on his face.

She mentally complained to the system, "I failed my mission again. I didn't manage to assassinate Xie Mingzhu, nor did I give them a chance to spend time together."

The system sighed: "In the original storyline, reinforcements didn't arrive this quickly. It's probably because Jun Lanjin was brought into the picture; the Blood Fiend Guards acted fast, arriving the very next day."

Luo Hanfeng followed behind, listening to the little girl's thoughts.

The corners of his lips turned up slightly.

is it?

What if he wanted to kill Jun Lanjin right here?

Finding a way back from the bottom of the cliff was difficult; the trees were dense and the road was rugged. As she walked, Xie Xing suddenly stopped and looked down at her feet.

She's been running around like this for the past two days, and the road is already difficult to walk on, so her shoes have worn out.

Xie Xing looked directly at the exposed big toe.

She twitched her toes, trying to pull her foot back.

"what are you doing?"

Luo Hanfeng's voice came from behind.

Xie Xing immediately pulled her feet back. She was wearing riding clothes, and the skirt wasn't long enough to cover her feet.

Although this era was not as harsh on women, feet were still considered the most private part of a woman's body and should not be shown to men casually.

not to mention--

In Xie Xing's eyes, Luo Hanfeng was a pervert. Just yesterday, this pervert told her that he liked her. If he saw her feet, wouldn't he get excited?

Xie Xing shook his head.

No no no.

Xie Xing didn't reply to Luo Hanfeng; instead, he turned and followed the guards ahead.

Just then, the guard who had carried Jun Lanjin away earlier returned.

His expression was grave: "Let's go! Someone's catching up with us."

"They are from the Yama's Palace."

Upon hearing the name of the Underworld, Xie Xing suddenly turned around and looked at Luo Hanfeng.

Luo Hanfeng met her eyes, his clear and innocent gaze fixed on her.

Xie Xing: "..."

She angrily complained to the system: "He's so pretentious!"

I knew it! Nothing good ever comes from him around!

System: [...It's clear that the male lead wants to kill Jun Lanjin right now.]

Has he already planned this far ahead? Did he know Jun Lanjin would be in his way?

It's no longer a question of whether it's blocking the road or not.

If Luo Hanfeng had stayed with them, Jun Lanjin would have died here long ago.

This doesn't work.

Xie Xing couldn't reveal Luo Hanfeng's identity, even though she knew it was definitely Luo Hanfeng who was behind it all, just waiting to kill Jun Lanjin.

But if he says it out loud, Luo Hanfeng will lose his disguise and start a killing spree.

Xie Xing was getting anxious.

There was no use in her being anxious. Compared to these highly skilled martial artists, she was just an ant that could be crushed at any moment.

She possessed neither exceptional martial prowess nor exceptional intelligence.

She's just an ordinary person.

It was extremely difficult for ordinary people to survive in ancient times.

Xie Xing's mind was in turmoil, constantly thinking about how to shake off Luo Hanfeng.

However, before she could think for long, Luo Hanfeng lifted her collar from behind, leaving her with her arms and legs hanging down and her collar facing upwards.

Xie Xing stared blankly at Luo Hanfeng.

Luo Hanfeng smiled at her, then turned to the guards and said gently, "Then I'll take care of Miss Xie."

The Blood Fiend Guard's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Luo Hanfeng.

Now that things have come to this, Luo Hanfeng no longer conceals his strength.

How could a useless prince jump off a cliff unscathed?

The Blood Fiend Guard paused for a moment.

He nodded and walked quickly forward.

Luo Hanfeng picked up Xie Xing and followed closely.

Xie Xing: "..."

She felt uncomfortable being carried, and after kicking her legs, she said, "Don't carry me, I can walk by myself!"

"Oh?" Luo Hanfeng raised an eyebrow, lifted Xie Xing up in his arms, and pulled him into a princess carry. "How about this?"

Xie Xing: !

When they switched places just now, she almost thought Luo Hanfeng was going to throw her away. She waved her little hands in the air a couple of times and finally grabbed Luo Hanfeng's hair precisely.

Luo Hanfeng: "..."

The pulling sensation on his scalp made his face darken instantly: "Let go!"

Xie Xing did not let up.

Not only did she not let go, but she clung to Luo Hanfeng with both hands and feet like an octopus.

A soft body suddenly pressed against him, and the sweet fragrance of a young girl wafted over him, causing Luo Hanfeng to freeze completely.

He was immediately at a loss for what to do with his hands.

He frowned, glanced at the girl in his arms, and his thoughts drifted. She hadn't bathed for two days, so why did she still smell so good?

But he quickly stopped thinking about whether it smelled good or not.

Because Xie Xing—she rode on his head!

They truly rode on his head!

In this respect, Xie Xing was as slippery as an eel. He grabbed Luo Hanfeng's hair, climbed up to him like a tree, and then rode on his neck.

"hiss!"

Luo Hanfeng gasped.

"Xie, Xing!" he couldn't help but growl.

Xie Xing trembled and gripped Luo Hanfeng's hair even tighter, pulling his head back so hard it almost hurt him to death.

"Get down!" Luo Hanfeng warned coldly.

Xie Xing was frightened by him, and held his head in her hands, stubbornly saying, "I won't go down!"

"Who told you to scare me? I'm just sitting here."

Luo Hanfeng: "..."
