Phoenix Cries Across the World: The Cold-Hearted Princess is Too Alluring

In the stillness of the night, the occasional sounds became all the more distinct.

Chu Yingge lay on the bed, listening to the rustling sounds around her. She couldn't help but frown. With the sensitivity of an assassin, she naturally sensed the approaching killing intent.

He slowly sat up in bed, his left hand sliding down to grip the long whip coiled around his waist.

This is a habit she developed in the 21st century: weapons must never leave her body, whether she is sleeping or doing anything else.

By lifting the curtain and in the moonlight, Chu Yingge could clearly see the figures outside the door stirring restlessly.

One, two, three, four—there were only four people. Chu Yingge felt a little relieved. These people were so cautious; they must have ill intentions. If it weren't for her sensitivity to killing intent, she really wouldn't have been able to detect their approach based on anything else.

However, now that she had discovered it, she naturally wouldn't fall for these people's tricks.

She wanted to strike first.

The person outside the door seemed unaware that the people inside had regarded them as prey, and gently pushed open the door.

Chu Yingge crouched low, and the moment the door was pushed open, she lashed out with her long whip at the man in black in front of her.

Caught off guard by Chu Yingge's move, the man in black instinctively dodged backward. Before he could react, Chu Yingge's second attack struck his neck.

The man in black retreated repeatedly, while Chu Yingge pressed forward step by step, finally shifting the battlefield to the courtyard.

Chu Yingge tugged at her long whip, a contemptuous smile appearing on her lips. Now the space was much more spacious, and she could finally unleash her full power.

The four men in black looked at each other, not expecting to be outmaneuvered by a little girl. Their eyes grew even more menacing as they simultaneously raised their knives and thrust them toward Chu Yingge's face.

Not far away, Mu Ziyuan stood with his hands behind his back, watching the fight in the courtyard. He showed no intention of helping, because he believed that the princess he had chosen would not be unable to defeat such a few people.

Every move was deadly, but Chu Yingge dodged them all. She wasn't completely at ease, but she could at least keep up.

However, this approach is not a viable solution. She must find the weaknesses of these individuals to achieve a decisive victory. Otherwise, once her stamina is exhausted, she will gain no advantage whatsoever.

Thinking of this, Chu Yingge increased the speed and force of her movements, wielding her long whip so that the man in black could not get close to her at all.

Suddenly, Chu Yingge's attack slowed down, and she took a solid blow from one of the assassins. Even though it grazed her shoulder, she could still hear the sound of metal cutting through her skin.

Backing away, Chu Yingge gasped for breath. Damn it, the clash of energies within her body at this moment had drained all her strength.

Seeing this, the men in black wanted to quickly and decisively eliminate the person in front of them, but just as they raised their knives, the scene seemed to freeze. All four men in black stood in front of Chu Yinge, holding their knives and remaining motionless.

Chu Yingge was puzzled, but before she could think about it, the man in black in front of her was torn to pieces, as if he had been ripped apart, and blood mist sprayed towards Chu Yingge.

I instinctively tried to shield myself, thinking I would definitely get some on me, but instead I fell into a warm embrace.

Holding the person in his arms, Mu Ziyuan tiptoed to the side, avoiding contact between the filthy blood and the person in his arms.

He took out a small porcelain bottle, removed the stopper, and placed it between Chu Yingge's noses. In no time, Chu Yingge recovered and raised her head to carefully examine the person in front of her.

It's not hard to guess that the person who delivered the medicine last time was the man in front of you.

She wore a black phoenix robe, her hair was tied up high and held in place by a black jade hairpin. Her exquisite features were as if they had been sculpted, her narrow phoenix eyes had a fatal allure, and her high nose bridge and thin lips were perfectly set.

Such men are either rich or noble.

Moreover, he is definitely a ruthless character.

Withdrawing her scrutinizing gaze, Chu Yingge rose from Mu Ziyuan's embrace, lowered her head, and coiled the long whip in her hand back around her waist.

"Thank you sir for saving my life."

"That's it?" Mu Ziyuan looked at his empty arms, feeling a little unsatisfied.

Chu Yingge slowly raised her head, looked at the man in front of her, and suddenly smiled calmly.

“I, Chu Yingge, have never liked owing others anything. Speak, what is it? I don’t believe you came to the backyard of the Prime Minister’s residence specifically to save me.”

Chu Yingge wasn't stupid. Of course, she knew that the person in front of her wouldn't have come here for no reason; they must have some ulterior motive. She was fairly familiar with the things in the Prime Minister's residence, and if it was something she could obtain herself, she would certainly be happy to help.

Upon hearing Chu Yingge's words, a hint of amusement flashed in Mu Ziyuan's eyes, and his gaze towards Chu Yingge became more appreciative. He liked intelligent women, especially someone like Chu Yingge.

"Then tell me, what exactly is my purpose in coming here?"

"Of course, it's something they're eyeing in the Prime Minister's residence," Chu Yingge said confidently.

Mu Ziyuan smiled and moved closer to Chu Yingge, so close that they could hear each other breathing.

With a smile in his eyes, he slowly said, "You're very clever. I do covet the things in the Prime Minister's mansion, but I'm not in a hurry to have her right now."

"Then I'll offer it to you with both hands when you want it, to repay your two life-saving graces."

"If that's the case, then that would be perfect." Mu Ziyuan straightened up and distanced himself from Chu Yingge.

He was about to marry the woman in front of him, so of course he wouldn't rush into having his little princess.

Mu Ziyuan took out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket and handed it to Chu Yingge: "I think you'll find this useful. After all, I might not be able to appear as timely next time."

"Thank you."

Chu Yingge didn't refuse anymore. She would accept anything that was good to her. She took the small porcelain bottle, nodded to Mu Ziyuan, and turned to walk into the room.

Tonight's events were no accident. She still needed to be cautious and investigate the matter thoroughly. Of course, the identity of the man in front of her was also worth investigating further.

Although he saved her several times, she still needed to be cautious without fully understanding his background.

Whether they are friend or foe remains to be verified.

Looking at Chu Yingge's desolate back, Mu Ziyuan's lips curled into a smile, but the next second, his whole body was filled with hostility.

Under heaven, everyone knows that the ninth young lady of the Prime Minister's mansion is his legitimate wife. Anyone who dares to assassinate her at this time is truly courting death!

He wanted to see who had the audacity to mess with his people!
