The Princess Cannot Escape: The Cunning Prince Is Not to Be Messed With

Chapter 260 Death

"Miss, are you alright? I didn't mean to. Let me see if you're hurt anywhere." Yin Quan stared intently, and her mind went blank. This man was exactly the perfect lover in her mind. His perfect profile, his gentle and jade-like eyes, his light blue clothes, and his white jade crown.

His smile was neither too deep nor too shallow, and even the pair of jade-like hands in front of him made Yin Quan's mind wander. "Young master? May I ask your name and whether you are married?" The man blushed, and Yin Quan almost lost control and was about to pounce on him. "What do you mean by that, young lady? I have lived in this cave all my life and have never seen the outside world. How could I be married?"

Kuang Zhi, who had been watching from inside the cave, finally cracked his usually unwavering expression even when Mount Tai collapsed before him. He rubbed his throbbing temples, his anger surging. This damned woman's greatest obsession was lust!

Among the disciples over the centuries, none had ever been trapped by lust, so lust was placed last. Yin Quan only needed to persevere one more step to perfectly pass through reincarnation. He had thought that she was a person with strong convictions and would suffer excruciating pain in the six realms of reincarnation. But to his utter surprise, he had still misjudged this woman.

He vowed to teach her a lesson and show her what it meant to be a knife hanging over one's head by lust. He looked closely at the man that Yin Quan's desires had conjured up. He resembled Xiahou Ying by seven or eight points, and there was a hint of evil about him. He was not just a miniature of any man. Upon closer inspection, he even found a few of his own reflections on that man's face.

If he hadn't lived for thousands of years and seen all sorts of storms, Kuang Zhi would probably be furious with his disciple. A faint laugh drifted to his ears, "This girl is indeed extraordinary, she actually got stuck on lust, haha, so funny, senior brother, don't you mind if junior sister comes to take a look too?"

Kuang Zhi's voice turned colder than once. "Get out."

"Senior brother..."

"I don't want to say it a second time." Piaomiao could tell that Kuang Zhi was really angry, so she had no choice but to obediently walk out. As soon as Piaomiao left, Kuang Zhi quickly wrote two large characters on the stone wall. Suddenly, the characters were enveloped in golden light and instantly disappeared into the man's body. Kuang Zhi's lips twitched into a sinister smile. This time, he would not hold back.

How to describe Nianlang? The more you look at him, the more he fits Yin Quan's criteria for a partner. Just now, he accidentally twisted his ankle, and he gently helped her to the side and started massaging her foot. He didn't say much, but his voice was extremely pleasant, like a clear mountain spring that captivated people.

"Where are you going, young lady?" Yin Quan suddenly remembered that she needed to get out of this so-called cycle of reincarnation as soon as possible. "I need to hurry up and go find my husband." Nian Lang's expression was somewhat gloomy. "Alright, I'll take you out now. The exit is just ahead. Be careful."

Yin Quan had only taken a few steps when she suddenly turned around. "Why are you staying here alone?" Nian Lang looked at Yin Quan as she returned and a glimmer of hope appeared in his eyes. "Because no one is willing to take me away. I've been here alone as the guardian of the exit for so long that I don't even remember how long. I just watch batches of disciples come and go, and I envy them a little."

"Come with me?" Nianlang stood up excitedly. "Really? Can I really come with you?" Yin Quan nodded. "After we get out, I'll take you around and make sure you're happy." Nianlang nodded hurriedly; that was wonderful. Nianlang helped Yin Quan out of the Six Paths of Reincarnation not far.

Xiahou Ying was getting anxious waiting at the exit. When he saw Yin Quan come out with a man, his expression changed. He subtly slapped Nianlang's hand away and pulled Yin Quan into his arms. "Why did it take you so long to come out? Are you hurt anywhere?" Yin Quan shook her head and turned to Nianlang.

“Come here, this is my husband. Husband, this is a friend I met inside. He’s a pitiful person, all alone in there. I think we should let him come with us from now on.” Xiahou Ying said unhappily, “If you think he’s having a hard time living inside, I’ll send someone to take him to a better place, then you don’t have to worry about it.”

"Hey Xiahou Ying, you can't be that petty, can you?" Xiahou Ying didn't back down at all, and Yin Quan suddenly got a little angry. "Xiahou Ying, you're just jealous. You'd better become a vinegar jar in the future, then the family won't have to brew vinegar anymore." After saying that, she pulled Nian Lang over. "Don't pay attention to him. Xuan Qingzi will definitely arrange a place for you to stay. Just stay here in peace. I'll take care of that coffin-faced guy."

As expected, Xuan Qingzi liked Nianlang very much after seeing him. The two talked about wine and poetry, and their elegance was unparalleled. Yin Quan looked at him from afar and felt that for a moment, Nianlang was so beautiful that he seemed otherworldly. She rubbed her eyes. He was clearly still there, but why did he look so ethereal and illusory?

"Yin Quan? What are you looking at so intently?" Yin Quan looked at Nian Lang, who had somehow appeared in front of her, and quickly turned her head away, somewhat embarrassed. "N-nothing... why did you come out?"

"I saw you at the door, Yin Quan... Thank you." Nian Lang's eyes reflected her image, and at that moment she felt her heart pounding wildly. She dared not look into his eyes again. "Well, I have something to do, I'll be going now."

Back in her room, looking at the familiar furnishings, she felt a sense of unreality for some reason. The image of Nianlang in her mind was like a curse that wouldn't go away. That face was so clear, yet so blurry. He was like a person, someone she didn't want to think about, but she always thought about.

Suddenly the door opened, and Xiahou Ying walked in, his face pale. "Something happened in the capital, we have to go back. Pack your things and leave tomorrow night." Yin Quan was still a little dazed. "Okay, then I'll go tell Nianlang." Xiahou Ying frowned, somewhat disgusted, and said, "Are you still going to take that man with you?"

"Is there something wrong with it? I brought Nianlang back, so I have to take responsibility for him. Wouldn't it be better to take him back to the capital and settle him in properly?" Xiahou Ying suddenly sneered. "Yin Quan, I underestimated you. How many people do you want to divide your heart among? Gu Lounan? Me? And that Han something-or-other who you can't forget, and now there's Nianlang. Do you also want to enjoy the blessings of having multiple wives?"

Xiahou Ying's words sent chills down Yin Quan's spine. "In your heart, am I just such a fickle woman?" Xiahou Ying retorted angrily. "You know whether it's true or not." Yin Quan felt her eyes sting. "Get out. I don't want to see you." Xiahou Ying slammed the door and left. As soon as he was gone, Yin Quan collapsed onto the bed, tears streaming down her face.

She thought Xiahou Ying understood her best, but now it seemed she had been overthinking it. She drifted off to sleep and woke up to find the sun already setting. She rubbed her swollen eyes and thought of Nianlang. For some reason, she really wanted to see him.

She found herself drawn to Nianlang's door, where a familiar voice immediately caught her attention: "Leave Yin Quan, no matter what your purpose was in approaching her."

Nianlang's voice was filled with guilt, "I'm sorry I disturbed you. Don't worry, I'll leave tonight." Yin Quan rushed in, "Xiahou Ying, are you crazy? You weren't like this before." Xiahou Ying's voice trembled uncontrollably when he saw Yin Quan, "You actually came to his room in the middle of the night? Yin Quan, have I been too lenient with you? I can't bear to do anything to you, but I absolutely cannot keep this man."

He pulled out a long sword from somewhere, and Yin Quan exclaimed, "No!" Nian Lang didn't know any martial arts at all. At that moment, Yin Quan didn't know where the strength came from, and she suddenly rushed forward to block Nian Lang.

Xiahou Ying hurriedly stopped, "You're crazy! Yin Quan, you're crazy! Go away, I don't want to see you! Go away!" Yin Quan pulled Nian Lang out the door, and when they arrived at Yin Quan's room, Nian Lang said with some self-reproach, "You shouldn't have done this, he loves you."

“But his love only allows him to be intimate with Qin Chang’an, but he can’t tolerate me having two friends. I don’t want to stay here anymore. Let’s go. I’ll explain to him after he’s thought it through. Otherwise, it will all be in vain.”

Nianlang nodded. "Then where do we go now?" Yin Quan took a deep breath. "The world is vast, and there's nowhere that isn't a good place." The gleam in Nianlang's eyes stirred Yin Quan's heart. "Then let's go to Jingzhou. It's closer to here." Yin Quan nodded, and that night the two of them led two horses down Tianji Mountain.

As soon as she arrived in Jingzhou, Yin Quan had a bad feeling. She suddenly became worried about Xiahou Ying's poison. She was so busy being angry with him that she didn't know how badly his poison had progressed.

"What's wrong? Do you regret it now? If you can't let him go, then go back. I can go by myself." Yin Quan shook her head. "It's okay. I'll go back after he calms down in a few days." Nian Lang remained silent. The two traveled through mountains and rivers until they arrived in Jingzhou. They stayed at a remote inn in the area.

That night, Yin Quan slept unusually soundly for some reason. When she woke up early the next morning, she saw a man in fine clothes sitting in front of her, sipping tea. When he turned to look at Yin Quan, she felt a chill run through her body.

"Xiahou Jue, how is it you? Aren't you... weren't you exiled?" He stood up and walked slowly to Yin Quan. "You and Xiahou Ying have been gone for so long, do you think the capital is still the same? The old emperor is long dead, now I am the emperor, and neither you nor Xiahou Ying will live."

"Impossible, impossible, you won't succeed. How did you know I was here?" Xiahou Jue suddenly burst into laughter. "Good question. This is all thanks to your Nianlang." Nianlang walked out from the depths, shedding his blue robe and putting on a bright crimson robe. His otherworldly face no longer had the gentle smile of a spring breeze.

That wicked face revealed a hint of disdain. "Miss Yin, I'm so sorry, I'm sorry you trusted Nianlang so much." Yin Quan looked at that face and for some reason the more she looked at it, the more familiar it seemed. It looked like someone, like Gu Lounan!

"Hmph, all your efforts have been in vain. But as you saw when I left, Xiahou Ying and I have already broken up. Don't even think about him coming to save me." Nianlang walked up to her step by step, pinched her chin, and clicked his tongue. "I really like this little face. After Your Majesty succeeds, please give her to me. I will definitely treat her well." For some reason, Yin Quan felt disgusted when she looked at Nianlang.
