Chapter 405 Luring the Tiger Away from the Mountain, He Went Too Far
What exactly is the Seventh Prince's purpose?
Jun Lanjin grasped Xie Xing's wrist, trying to pull Xie Xing out of Luo Hanfeng's arms.
"I've had enough of Prince Jin's act. Why don't I let Prince Jin see my act too?"
Luo Hanfeng did not answer Jun Lanjin's question, but instead smiled gently.
Jun Lanjin's eyes turned cold, and in a short while, he made his move against Luo Hanfeng.
He raised his hand, his palm striking directly at Luo Hanfeng's face.
Luo Hanfeng pulled Xie Xing up from the ground, avoiding Jun Lanjin's palm strike. The two were not far apart, with Xie Xing standing between them.
One person held Xie Xing's wrist with a light but firm grip, while the other person wrapped their arms around Xie Xing's waist, pulling them into their embrace.
Xie Xing: "..."
She was so dizzy from being pulled that she didn't even have time to react before Jun Lanjin grabbed her hand and pulled her back against Luo Hanfeng's chest.
In front of Jun Lanjin, he grabbed Xie Xing's chin and kissed him.
Xie Xing's eyes widened.
System: [Holy crap?!]
After Xie Xing realized what was happening, he immediately began to struggle violently.
Jun Lanjin's eyes widened slightly, just as he was about to make a move.
Luo Hanfeng raised his head and looked at Jun Lanjin provocatively: "I've heard that Your Highness isn't very good at kissing women. It's truly laughable that Your Highness, at your age, has never touched a woman."
"How about I, Your Highness, teach you?"
"..."
silence.
There was deathly silence all around.
After Xie Xing realized what was happening, he was filled with boundless rage.
Unable to bear it any longer, she raised her hand and slapped Luo Hanfeng across the face.
"Snapped!"
In the silent space, the crisp sound of the slap was exceptionally loud.
Luo Hanfeng took the slap, turning his face to the side.
He wasn't very angry. Touching the side of his face that Xie Xing had slapped, he actually smiled happily.
"Your Highness is not speaking, is he thinking about something?"
Xie Xing was so angry she vomited blood. She couldn't help but curse, "Madman! Beast!"
He kept saying he loved her, but all he did was use her to get revenge on others!
Jun Lanjin gripped Xie Xing's wrist tightly, his expression growing increasingly cold. He pulled Xie Xing out of Luo Hanfeng's arms and into his own embrace.
"Luo Hanfeng," Jun Lanjin's voice was as cold as ice: "You seem to have victory in your grasp by provoking me, the King?"
Luo Hanfeng stared at Jun Lanjin, who was holding Xie Xing in his arms, with a sinister look in his eyes. His hands, which were hanging in his sleeves, were trembling.
Despite his provocations, Jun Lanjin was not even slightly angered.
Luo Hanfeng stared intently at Xie Xing before laughing, "As expected of a prince, you are so generous. I underestimated you."
"But you can barely protect yourself. You can protect her for a while, but can you protect her forever?"
As he spoke, Luo Hanfeng laughed again.
He raised his hand, put his thumb and forefinger to his lips, and whistled.
A loud whistle rose from the sky, and then a great fire broke out in the eastern part of the palace.
"Go away!"
"Help! Fire!"
A scream erupted from the palace servants outside.
Jun Lanjin turned his head and looked through the window toward the fire.
Taking advantage of the opening, Luo Hanfeng flipped over and jumped out of the window.
Before leaving, he whispered these words in Xie Xing's ear:
"Don't forget our promise."
Xie Xing's entire body stiffened.
By the time she finished hearing those words, Luo Hanfeng had already disappeared from sight.
Xie Xing: "..."
She lifted her foot, about to move, when the clattering sound of the chains startled the two of them.
Xie Xing was furious. She pursed her lips, which were still bright red from Luo Hanfeng's kiss, and the anger in her heart just wouldn't subside.
She was both angry and scared, realizing for the first time how terrifying this so-called dark and insane male protagonist was.
If she had any strength or even a little martial arts skill, she wouldn't have been humiliated like this.
Xie Xing was furious.
"Is your foot alright?" Jun Lanjin's voice came from above.
He lowered his eyes, his gaze falling on Xie Xing's ankle, which was rubbed red by the heavy shackles.
Jun Lanjin's pulling force was never too strong; at this distance, in a fight with Luo Hanfeng, it would be Xie Xing who would get hurt.
Therefore, Jun Lanjin only fought with Luo Hanfeng briefly, trying to snatch Xie Xing from Luo Hanfeng's hands.
He never expected that Luo Hanfeng would do such a thing in front of him.
Jun Lanjin lowered his head, looked at the lock, took the hairpin off Xie Xing's head, inserted it into the lock, and opened it in a few quick movements.
Xie Xing looked at his ankle, surprised: "Your Highness can pick locks?"
“Of course I know a little bit of everything.” Jun Lanjin’s gaze fell on the patch of white skin on Xie Xing’s chest, but after just one glance, he looked away as if he had been electrocuted.
He pursed his thin lips and said, "Luo Hanfeng knows that I have planted secret guards by your side. He used these guards to lure me here, a diversionary tactic."
"I suppose he has some other scheme in mind."
Jun Lanjin's voice came slowly. He turned around, his back to Xie Xing: "Change your clothes."
Xie Xing, clutching his clothes, quickly turned around and went to the screen to change his clothes upon hearing this.
After changing his clothes, Jun Lanjin turned around again.
His gaze fell on Xie Xingyan's red lips, his eyes darkening for a moment, before he asked, "What did he say to you?"
Xie Xing took a deep breath.
She gritted her teeth, though she didn't want to appear too weak and useless in front of Jun Lanjin right now.
Luo Hanfeng was really too much. Before she could even speak, tears started falling uncontrollably.
She sniffed and said, "Your Highness, he's a complete madman."
Jun Lanjin remained silent for a moment.
If Xie Xing didn't possess modern thinking and have a stronger capacity for tolerance, Luo Hanfeng's actions could drive anyone with excessively strong moral principles to their death.
Especially in front of other men.
Jun Lanjin was clearly at a loss as well.
His usually calm face now revealed a terrifying killing intent.
He took a few steps closer to Xie Xing, gently wiped Xie Xing's lips with his fingertip, and said in a gentle voice, "Don't worry, I will send people to protect you."
"This will never happen again."
Xie Xing bit her lip.
She said, "Your Highness, I will personally avenge today's humiliation."
That's absolutely ridiculous.
She felt that Luo Hanfeng was a person whose personality was not even fully developed.
His so-called love is frightening, and even more so, ironic.
Luo Mengfei was also startled by the commotion outside.
She rushed out of the palace and opened Xie Xing's door.
"Xie Xing! The Eastern Palace is on fire!"
The moment the door opened, Luo Mengfei's voice abruptly stopped.
She opened her mouth, her gaze widening in astonishment as she looked at Xie Xing and Jun Lanjin, and at the mess on the floor inside the room.
After a long while, she finally stammered, "What...what did you all do in the house?"
