Best friends dressed up in ancient times to become mistresses? You run, I run too!

The sun was just beginning to rise.

The hill behind Putuo Temple is covered in lush green grass, with a warm breeze blowing.

Jiang Yanche wore a moon-white brocade robe, with delicate cloud patterns embroidered in gold thread on the collar and hem, which shimmered brilliantly in the sunlight.

A gentle breeze blew by, causing her clothes to flutter.

He laughed freely, revealing a set of neat and bright white teeth, and his captivating peach blossom eyes curved into crescent moons.

He gazed intently at Shen Ningzhu, giving her the illusion of deep affection. Such a man could easily make a woman fall into his trap of gentleness. (Image of Jiang Yanche) Unfortunately, Shen Ningzhu knew that beneath his gentle exterior lay a formidable character.

"Zhuzhu, you're so heartless! After all this time, don't you miss me at all?"

Shen Ningzhu frowned.

Listening to these incredibly misleading words, Shen Ningzhu knew almost without thinking that this bitch was trying to harm her.

The other party continued speaking on their own.

"I have been thinking of you day and night, unable to sleep. As soon as I received your message, I put aside everything and rushed over to meet you."

Sure enough, a sinister voice came from behind, "Zhuzhu is really energetic. She can run so far in the blink of an eye."

It’s over.

Shen Ningzhu mechanically turned her head and saw Jiang Xuan Yan, who was full of murderous aura. She lowered her head with a look of utter despair, as if she had lost her parents.

Waaah, she must have forgotten to check the almanac before going out today, otherwise why would she be so unlucky?

"Oh, my royal brother has arrived?"

Jiang Yanche greeted him with a smile, showing no sign of nervousness or embarrassment at being caught. "Zhuzhu, why didn't you tell me you had someone with you?"

"Your Highness Prince Chen, please be careful with your words. We are not acquainted."

Shen Ningzhu was so angry she wanted to tear the other person's mouth apart. "Besides, if I had known you were coming, I wouldn't have come. After all, men and women shouldn't touch each other. Your Highness Prince Chen's actions and words are inappropriate and can cause misunderstandings, but I can't be like you."

A look of hurt flashed across Jiang Yanche's eyes.

"Oh, if you say we're not familiar, then we're not familiar. I'll listen to you."

Shen Ningzhu: ...

So shameless.

Is this bitch determined to pin this on her? What a nutcase! What did she ever do to him? I feel like my chest is about to explode with anger.

Jiang Xuan Yan gave him a cold sidelong glance and ignored him.

He stepped forward, put his arm around Shen Ningzhu's shoulder, pulled her into his embrace, and said gently to her:

"It's windy here, and it's getting late, we should head back."

"Ah."

The two walked intimately down the mountain. When they reached a secluded spot, Jiang Xuanyan suddenly grabbed Shen Ningzhu by the back of the neck and slammed her against a thick tree trunk.

His tall, imposing figure slammed down, his eyes blazing with intense fury that threatened to engulf anyone who looked upon him.

"Did you invite him here?"

"I do not have."

"Hmph, I doubt you have the ability to send messages out of the Crown Prince's residence. But, did I not tell you to stay away from him? Hmm?"

"Tell me, what exactly is going on between you and him?"

Shen Ningzhu was on the verge of tears. She took the initiative to hug his strong and muscular waist, stood on tiptoe, and kissed his two angular thin lips.

The man was stunned for a moment.

He grabbed her by the neck and shoved her away. "How dare you! Who gave you permission to touch me? I'm warning you, don't try any tricks on me. If you don't give me a straight answer this time, don't blame me... Ouch!"

Shen Ningzhu seized the opportunity, her soft red lips quickly pressing against the man's Adam's apple, sucking on that sexy protrusion. No matter how the other party pushed her away, she refused to let go, like a stubborn plaster.

Jiang Xuan Yan sighed deeply, feeling a strange mix of emotions.

He was secretly annoyed. How could someone who practices martial arts make such a basic mistake?

That was his Achilles' heel, yet he allowed Shen Ningzhu to exploit it so easily.

Thank goodness she wasn't an assassin, otherwise he'd probably be dead by now. He swallowed hard, his voice hoarse and tinged with anger.

"Let go, or don't blame me for being ruthless and merciless."

As he spoke, he gripped Shen Ningzhu's thin shoulder with his claw-like hand.

"Um~~~"

He used so much force that Shen Ningzhu's bones almost shattered, and she couldn't help but groan in pain, naturally releasing the pressure in her mouth.

The other person paused for a moment, but did not move their hand away, though they clearly loosened their grip.

Shen Ningzhu's lips didn't leave his Adam's apple; instead, she gently kissed it, one kiss after another like a chick pecking at rice, her voice plaintive.

"Brother Yan, you doubt Zhuzhu again. Is it only when I cut out Zhuzhu's heart and hand it to you that you will you believe in Zhuzhu's true feelings for you?"

Jiang Xuan Yan remained silent for a moment.

He suddenly laughed, "There's no need for such trouble. I do have a method that I'd like to explore."

"Wh...what method?"

"You started this fire yourself, so of course you should put it out yourself."

Shen Ningzhu's lips twitched. Light a fire? What fire could she possibly light? It's not like she hasn't lit one before. But has he ever gotten angry? He's even more virtuous than Liu Xiahui, so why is he reacting again this time? It can't be because of what just happened, can it?

Meeting his dangerous gaze, Shi Ningzhu's heart trembled violently, and a bad premonition surged into her mind.

Soon, as if to confirm her thoughts, Jiang Xuan Yan suddenly began to pull at her collar, his cool lips forcefully landing on her slender neck, winding their way down.

He tore off her waist belt and lifted her thin skirt with his fingertips.

He's insane! In broad daylight, he actually intends to... do it to her in this desolate wilderness...

Her thoughts suddenly returned to a month ago, and the horrific scene on the mountainside of Tianshui Village echoed in her mind, making her tremble uncontrollably.

"No. Jiang Xuan Yan, please, not here."

"I have men guarding the area for miles around, so no one will come to disturb us. Shen Ningzhu, now let me teach you who your man is."

As soon as he finished speaking, he buried his head and bit down hard on her delicate collarbone. He used force, and in an instant, a faint smell of blood filled the air.

Shameless scoundrel.

Shen Ningzhu shook her head desperately, scratching Jiang Xuanyan's back with both hands, her roughness tinged with a hint of ruthlessness. She raised her hand and slapped the man across the face.

The man finally stopped and looked up at her intently.

How dare she hit him?

No one in this world dares to slap him in the face.

Shen Ningzhu's exquisite fox-like eyes welled up with tears, a fierce glint within them, and she sobbed:

"Let's go back to the manor. I'll let you do whatever you want with me, okay?"

He should have been begging him, but his tone was incredibly forceful.

The leaves above rustled and swayed, creating a rhythmic melody. The sun had somehow disappeared behind the clouds, occasionally peeking out with only half its face.

To Shen Ningzhu's surprise, Jiang Xuan Yan actually straightened up for the first time, snorted coldly, picked up the waist belt from the ground with a livid face, and fastened it back up.

……

After leaving, Liu Zhiyi went to a clothing store. When she came out again, she was wearing a moon-white men's outfit.

Her thick, black hair was tied high into a ponytail with a white ribbon.

After several twists and turns, we entered an empty alley and stopped in front of the third house on the right.
