C4 (1/2)

On the main street, a mysterious black figure flashed by while holding a young girl in his arms. The young girl was imprisoned within him, unable to move as her mouth was covered by a white cloth.

Only when they reached the dead end did the black figure smoothly put down the woman in his embrace and press her against the wall, leaving her with no place to escape.

After obtaining her freedom, Yan Xiaoxi was the first to probe the man in front of her. He was extremely tall, and wore a blue Cloud Soaring Rune Bat suit. His waist was tied with a rhinoceros' horn, and there was only a white jade pendant on it.

He had a head of shiny, vertical black hair, slanted, straight eyebrows, slender and black pupils, thin and pursed lips, sharp and sharp contours, like an eagle in the night, cold and aloof but also exuding an imposing aura, exuding a domineering aura of aloofness.

Wow, a gorgeous man!

She stared at the watery eyes in disbelief, drooling. ”Brother, are you trying to rob me of my wealth or my beauty?”

Just a moment ago, she was ready to run over to greet Bei Bai Xi, but she was suddenly kidnapped by someone from behind. She struggled all the way until her feet touched the ground, and then she stood there.

Although he didn't know the purpose of the newcomer's visit, the man in front of him was just too handsome. His appearance was comparable to that of Beiming Ce, but his temperament was vastly different.

Bei Bai Xi gave the impression of gentleness and elegance, like the clear and tranquil water of a lake. However, this person gave off a cold and frosty feeling, as though he was a ten thousand year old snowy mountain.

Nangong Lin frowned. He couldn't help but feel astonished at Yan Xiaoxi's reaction.

If it was a normal situation, wouldn't they have shouted out loud in panic?

To think that she could be so calm, and even had such a calm and composed conversation.

”Hand over the scented sachet and you can leave.” Nangong Lin's goal was only to get the scented sachet, so he could let bygones be bygones when Yan Xiaoxi escaped from the marriage.

Sachet?

What is this?

Yan Xiaoxi looked at Nangong Lin with a puzzled expression. She suddenly came to a realization and said, ”I really don't have any money.”

”Really, I'm telling the truth.” Yan Xiaoxi thought that the scented sachet Nangong Lin was referring to the money pouch on her body. His questioning gaze did not forget to add another sentence.

”Woman, This King's patience is limited.” Nangong Lin's voice turned slightly colder.

”Are you the Prince of the Southern Water Country?” Yan Xiaoxi is not stupid, and naturally knows that only the royal family of nobles will call themselves this king.

As she blurted this out, she immediately realized that something was wrong.

He then asked, ”How many princes are there in the Southern Water Kingdom?”

Yan Xiaoxi nervously looked at Nangong Lin as she prayed to the deities in her heart. She hoped that everything wasn't as she had imagined.

However, Nangong Lin's next words immediately shattered her hopes.

”One.” These two words alone were enough to make Yan Xiaoxi feel as if she had fallen into the eighteenth level of hell.

The pretty boy in front of him was actually his recently retired husband, the Prince of Nanshui Country, Nangong Lin.

Heavens, did she have to be so messed with!

Yan Xiaoxi was completely stupefied by this truth. She was stunned for a few seconds before she gave an inexplicable smile and said, ”I'll go back with you.”

On the day of her wedding, her hair was covered with red, and she had never seen Nangong Lin's true appearance. If she knew that her husband was so handsome and rich, then why would she run?

Back then, he should have believed his father's words. He believed that Nangong Lin was a beautiful man, so so many things wouldn't have happened.

Would she not have meat to eat these few days?

”Wuwu.” Suddenly, Yan Xiaoxi felt very wronged.

At this moment, Nangong Lin had a petrified expression on his face. Yan Xiaoxi's expression had changed too quickly. It was as if she was performing a trick. It was simply impossible to guess what he was thinking.

”This King only needs you to hand over the scented sachet.” Nangong Lin once again reiterated that he had no interest in Yan Xiaoxi at all.

”Fragrant Sachet?” Yan Xiaoxi muttered as she searched her mind for memories of the recent days.

Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration. She remembered that on the night of her wedding, she had taken a scented sachet from the bed in her room. It had been secretly taken away along with her purse.

”I don't have the scented sachet.” Yan Xiaoxi answered truthfully.
