A short night is hard to please! A stunningly handsome prince dotes on her exclusively.

Upon hearing Xin Moyan's identity, the man burst into laughter as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world. In the end, tears even welled up in his eyes.

"...Yan Yan, he despises you and even called you ugly."

Hua Buyu's eyes suddenly turned icy cold. How dare he insult Yan Yan? This guy is definitely dead!

Xin Moyan was also helpless, since her previous deeds were too famous in the capital!

The man gradually stopped laughing. His face, so fat that his eyes were barely visible as slits and covered in oil, revealed a cunning and lewd expression. He was staring at the two men with a lecherous look. His large belly made his steps extremely slow and comical.

"My two beauties, let me tell you, I am the richest man in this whole West Street. If you come with me and become my eighteenth or nineteenth concubine, you will be dressed in gold and silver and live a life of luxury. Why not?"

"Damn it! Eighteen or nineteen-year-old concubines? Why don't you just die?"

"Oh! What a feisty young lady! I like her, hahaha~~~"

The middle-aged man slowly approached them, his rat-like eyes gleaming with a lewd light. He licked the corner of his mouth, which was full of yellow teeth, and his expression was truly disgusting.

"Yan Yan, he's so disgusting, I'm so scared!"

Hua Buyu tugged at her sleeve, her tone tense and uneasy, but a hint of excitement flickered in her eyes as she silently counted down in her mind…

Xin Moyan swallowed hard. She didn't know what to do. With only four arms and four legs, she couldn't outrun this group of people, and they didn't know any martial arts. She should have waited for her brother to come home before going out to play.

The middle-aged man walked closer and closer, and when he was still a step away from the two of them, he reached out to grab Xin Moyan's shoulder.

"Five, four, three..."

"what!"

A wide, snow-white robe fluttered past, and a tall figure descended from the sky. The lewd man's arm hung down behind his shoulder in a strange posture, as if... it was broken.

Xin Moyan hadn't reacted yet, just staring blankly at the man whose face was contorted in extreme pain and who was covered in sweat.

The group of followers who had been blocking their way rushed forward instantly. The man in white turned around, and in just a few moves, they were all knocked to the ground and fled in terror. Only the extremely lewd rich man remained, lying on the ground, pale-faced and trembling, unable to speak.

Hua Buyu hurriedly tugged at Xin Moyan's sleeve and exclaimed happily, "Yan Yan, look! A hero saves the beauty!"

The man in white was facing away from them, so they couldn't see his face clearly, but they could vaguely sense a chill emanating from him.

"what!"

Another scream rang out, and the middle-aged man fainted, a large pool of bright red liquid slowly flowing from his lower body.

He immediately turned around, dressed in white, exuding an aloof and cold temperament. His exquisitely beautiful face, flawless and unreadable, revealed no emotion, and his voice remained as clear and melodious as a mountain stream.

"Are you okay?"

Xin Moyan opened her eyes wide and looked at the man in disbelief.

How could it be him? The white-clad man I met in the palace that day.

"Wow! What a handsome man, Yan Yan. Look at this young master, he has a face that can bewitch all beings."

Hearing Hua Buyu's exaggerated expression, he just twitched the corner of his mouth, ignored her, and stared straight at Xin Moyan.

Retracting her amazement at his appearance, Xin Moyan politely said, "Thank you, young master. How could it be you?"

"Just happened to be passing by."

Before Xin Moyan could reply with just four concise words, Hua Buyu quickly moved closer to him, smiled shyly, and then asked with feigned modesty, "Young master's righteous assistance today and your wise and heroic demeanor have truly won my heart. May I ask your name and address, so that I may bring my friend to your home to express my gratitude another day?"

Upon hearing Hua Buyu's words, the man's gaze grew even colder, and his tone became increasingly indifferent.

"No need."

"Hey~ How can you say it's not necessary? Young master saved us, we must repay him, that's the rule of the martial world, Yan Yan, don't you think?"

Hua Buyu shook her arm, signaling her to speak.

"Ah? Yes! Young master, thank you for saving us. Since you were in the palace that day, you must be from a prestigious family. May I ask your name? My brother and I will personally visit you with gifts to express our gratitude another day."

Xin Moyan snapped out of her daze and continued Hua Buyu's words, after all, they had saved them and should indeed be properly thanked.

"No need."

It was still the same two words, but this time the tone wasn't as cold and indifferent as before.

He always said it wasn't necessary, that he only had a little over a hundred taels left, and asked if he should give him money as a token of gratitude.

"Oh! Young master, you don't need to be so polite. We should be thanking you. You keep saying it's not necessary. Well... seeing how beautiful you are, and even though I'm not very talented, I'm not bad-looking either. How about... I offer myself to you and spend the rest of my life serving you? Young master, would you agree?"

After Hua Buyu finished speaking, she quickly took a few more steps closer to him with her alluring and seductive gait, but before she could touch his robes, he dodged her to the side.

"Cough cough cough!!!"

Upon hearing these bold words, Xin Moyan suddenly choked on her saliva and stood to the side coughing incessantly.

"Yan Yan, are you alright?"

"I...cough cough cough...I'm fine!"

The man's face immediately darkened, and he turned to leave. Unexpectedly, Hua Buyu grabbed Xin Moyan's wrist, rushed to his side, and then smiled ingratiatingly.

“Young master, could it be… that you don’t like me? That would be truly heartbreaking. However, the debt of saving my life is greater than heaven. If you do not like me, then look at my friend. Her appearance is even better than mine. She is a beauty that can topple kingdoms and cities. She is a perfect match for your temperament. Why don’t you consider my Yan Yan?”

"..."

"..."

"Don't speak, stop now."

Xin Moyan quickly stopped her from speaking further, and then took out a purse from her bosom containing the change she had just received.

"Well, young master, thank you for saving us today. We have no way to repay you. There isn't much silver in here, but it's a small token of our appreciation. Please accept it, and we will feel at ease."

"Yan Yan, don't thank me with money. This young master is much more handsome than that prince. It would be a shame not to repay him with your body!"

"..."

"..."

The two were speechless again. This was hardly gratitude; it was clearly lust at first sight!

"I don't need money."

"No, I always repay kindness, young master. Great kindness needs no thanks. We'll meet again someday!"

Fearing that Hua Buyu might make some more outrageous remarks, she quickly stuffed the purse into the man's hand, grabbed Hua Buyu, and ran towards the alley entrance.

"Yan... Yan Yan, I haven't asked your name yet!"

He looked thoughtfully at the purse in his hand.
