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

"Does it still hurt?"

"what?"

"nose."

Xin Moyan then came to her senses, a beautiful smile curving her lips. She said gratefully, "It doesn't hurt anymore, hero. Thank you for helping me again."

"...I am not a hero."

Strange, I've only seen him twice, but why does he always seem so familiar?

"Uh... Young master, you saved me twice, but I don't have much money on me. I don't know how to contact you. I'll have my family come to thank you when I get home."

Her eyes were clear and sincere, and her smile was so bright and beautiful that it was hard to feel any dislike for her. He pulled himself out of his thoughts and said calmly, "You don't need to thank me. Just be more careful next time."

Xin Moyan felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this. She didn't like owing favors to people, especially since he had helped her twice.

“Young master, you have saved me twice, and I should repay you twice as well. I left in a hurry last time, so please don’t be polite this time, otherwise I will feel very bad.”

He didn't answer Xin Moyan's question, but instead changed the subject, asking, "What did those people have to do with you? Why did they try to kill you?"

Xin Moyan also found it strange. Could it be that the original owner's enemy? But Cailian said that she was the one who was bullied in the past. At most, she would bully others a little. It shouldn't have caused such a big hatred that she would have to kill someone to silence her.

"I don't know. They say I messed with the wrong people, but I don't know them."

A flash of malice crossed the man's eyes. Seeing her blank expression, he continued, "In the future, if you don't have any attendants, don't go out easily."

Xin Moyan scratched her head awkwardly. It was strange, but every time she went out, as long as her brother wasn't with her, all sorts of things always went wrong. Fortunately, she always met kind people who helped her escape danger. Thinking of this, she quickly asked, "Young master, may I ask your name and address? I will definitely come to thank you when I return to my residence."

The brow beneath the mask suddenly furrowed, and he said in a calm and unhurried tone, "Xuanyuan."

"Xuanyuan?"

She never expected to meet someone with the surname Xuanyuan; she had only ever seen that surname in novels!

"Ah."

"Hehe~ Young Master Xuanyuan, how may I contact you in the future?"

"We will meet if we are destined."

His voice remained aloof and cold, yet it did not inspire fear. However, she actually wanted to ask for his contact information so that she could send him some gifts and money later, even though his demeanor suggested he was wealthy and noble.

The man turned to leave, but then, as if remembering something, he turned back and asked her, "Do you know the way back?"

"what?"

That's right! This is the middle of nowhere, and she doesn't know the way. What will she do if she and this Young Master Xuanyuan part ways here?

Seeing her confused and bewildered expression, the man sighed inwardly.

“This is the west of the city, and few people come and go here. If you die here today, by the time your family finds you here, your body may have become something under this mud.”

"Is this...is this place very far from the capital?"

Xin Moyan was stunned, but she also felt very lucky. Thanks to meeting Young Master Xuanyuan, she was not reduced to the point where no one would collect her body after she was killed!

"Well, at your walking speed, it will take at least an hour."

"An hour? How could that group of people have been so fast?"

"A person who practices martial arts year-round should naturally have exceptionally light and agile movements, in addition..."

He paused for a moment, his brows furrowed, but Xin Moyan couldn't see his expression.

"Furthermore, those people were not from Yuanqi, and their skills and moves all relied on speed to win, which is why they were able to kidnap you here so quickly."

Xin Moyan didn't quite understand either, but if Young Master Xuanyuan said that these people were not Yuan Qi's people, could it be that the original owner had offended people from other countries in the past?

However, no matter who those people were, she was lucky to have been rescued. Now, she still had to find a way to get back; her brother must be worried sick.

Thinking of this, she quickly gave him a very bright and ingratiating smile and said with a smile in her eyes, "Young Master Xuanyuan, as the saying goes, if you want to help someone, help them to the west. I am all alone in the west of the city and I don't know the way. Why don't you do me a favor and take me to the city? I will reward you handsomely and be eternally grateful."

A subtle smile flickered in someone's eyes as they calmly said, "I don't need money."

"Ah? What do you want? Young master, you don't know, I have nothing but money."

Xin Moyan spread her hands. She still felt that it was more convenient to take money. Besides, her brother said that the family had a lot of money. He heard that she was learning to paint, and her brother even gave her 100,000 taels yesterday. This young master Xuanyuan is so kind-hearted, so why don't... give him 10,000 taels?

"Haha~"

He couldn't help but chuckle; it was obvious they wanted to settle things with money.

“Young Master Xuanyuan, please don’t laugh. I’m serious. If you escort me into the city, I’m willing to offer you ten thousand taels of silver.”

He calmed himself down a bit and continued, "I've said it before, I don't need money."

"What kind of reward would you like, young master?"

"I've saved you several times, so... how about I repay you with my body?"

"..."

Xin Moyan didn't react for a moment, just staring blankly at the man in front of her. Had she misheard?

The corners of someone's mouth turned up slightly, as if there was a hint of a smile, but he still stared straight at the stunned Xin Moyan.

After a long while, her thoughts gradually returned, and she asked uncertainly, "Young master, you just said that I should repay you with my body?"

"Hmm, is that alright?"

"This... of course not. Please tell me the direction of the capital, and I will walk back myself! If you would like to tell me your address, I will definitely come to thank you in person. But to offer myself in return is really too much."

She waved her hands repeatedly, saying it was ridiculous. If her brother found out that this young master Xuanyuan had saved her and was now asking her to repay him with her body, he would probably pick up the Biyue Sword and fight him to the death!

"Are you unwilling to marry me, or do you already have someone else in your heart?"

Could it be that she still harbors feelings for Yuan Huailie?

"Tsk~ I say, Young Master Xuanyuan, if you don't want to marry me, how can you say you're already set on someone else? We've only met twice, isn't it a bit too hasty to offer yourself to me like this? Besides, you're all covered up so well, I haven't even seen your true face yet, what if..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but the meaning was clear...

"Are you afraid that my true face is something you can't show to others, so you don't want to marry me?"

"No, I don't think we're very familiar with each other. There are many ways to repay a debt of gratitude, and I certainly can't offer myself in return. It would be more sincere to prepare money and gifts another day."

He ignored her words and continued the previous topic.

"If you agree to marry me, I will make sure you are satisfied with my true appearance in the future."

“…Brother, I don’t mean anything about your appearance or ugliness, but rather that repaying a debt of gratitude should not be done by offering yourself in marriage. That would be a very irrational thing to do.”
