Chapter 142 Master, please think about Xiao Yan Yan
Upon seeing the signal, Mo Feng of the Ming Prince's Mansion ordered all the Imperial Guards to withdraw from the Ming Prince's Mansion.
As he was leaving, Shen Yujing stopped him, "General Mo, have you found the thieves?"
“Your Highness, I am merely acting under orders. Please do not make things difficult for me.”
Mo Feng had a long sword at his waist, his hand gripping the hilt. Although his words were earnest, his expression showed that he didn't take Shen Yujing seriously.
Mo Xuanben disliked Mo Feng's behavior and wanted to teach him a lesson, but Shen Yujing stopped him.
"General Mo, what are you saying? The Princess is only thinking of my safety. She only hopes that you can capture that thief as soon as possible, so that the Princess may not be assassinated again someday."
Speaking in an extremely calm tone, he uttered harsh words, but Mo Feng didn't take it to heart and retorted, "Thank you for your kind words, Your Highness."
He then ordered his deputy general to lead the Imperial Guards back, while he himself led a group of men toward the location where Shen Sangwan had sent the signal in the suburbs.
At this moment, Shen Sangwan and Ruoxin sat on the ground in the suburbs, observing the white-haired boy leaning against a large rock.
The hair isn't in good quality; it looks like a wig, all messy. No wonder I initially thought it was an elderly person's hair.
【Master, are we just going to wait like this?】
What else can we do?
"There are no horses here, I can't possibly let Ruoxin, a weak woman, carry this person back!"
Just as Xiaotong was about to refute Shen Sangwan's words, a bird that looked like a magpie flew onto Ruoxin's shoulder.
The other person took a small piece of paper from the bird's leg, unfolded it, and handed it to Shen Sangwan.
"Your Highness, Ruoying's letter."
He took the note, glanced at it quickly, and his heart skipped a beat.
"Xiao Tong, the person inside Shu Yan's body is dead. Then, is my little Yan Yan—?"
Cen Yan's soul resides within that white-haired boy. I can sense her presence, but I don't know if she can return to that body. I'll probably have to ask the people on Earth.
Shen Sangwan didn't care whether the boy was awake or not, and slapped him twice across the face.
"Your Highness!"
While Ruoxin was still in shock, Shen Sangwan punched her twice more in the chest.
"Master, master, be gentle! Don't kill him!"
Xiao Tong stomped his feet in frustration. He only wanted Shen Sangwan to wake up the white-haired boy, but he didn't expect her to beat him to death!
"cough cough..."
A breath of pent-up frustration was exhaled with a cough, giving a feeling of release, as if someone who had been suffocating had finally found relief.
The boy took several deep breaths of fresh air.
[Master, judging from his expression, he seems to be choking.]
Shen Sangwan rolled her eyes, pretending not to hear Xiao Tong's question.
"Tell me, what have you done to the princess?"
The white-haired youth had barely recovered his senses when a long sword was already resting on his shoulder, just inches from his neck.
Even the slightest movement can cut the skin.
"Your Highness, the Eldest Princess?"
The boy looked up, somewhat uncertain, and hesitated for a moment.
"Now that you know who I am, quickly replace the princess's soul with your own and make that imposter in the palace get out of here."
Shen Sangwan pretended not to know that the fake Shuyan's soul was dead, and resentfully pressured the white-haired boy.
"Your Highness's haste is not good. If I were to be injured, Your Highness's most important people might never be able to appear again."
Shen Yujing had previously told him that the person who swapped souls was extremely important to Shen Sangwan, so he had plenty of opportunities to negotiate and was not afraid of being intimidated by the other party.
After all, it was Shen Sangwan who was asking him to do something, not the other way around.
Are you really not afraid of death?
"Your Highness has misunderstood. If I were to die, your friend would probably have no choice but to follow me to the underworld. But that's alright, having someone to keep him company will keep him company."
"you--!"
Faced with the boy's nonchalant and fearless demeanor, Shen Sangwan was furious and really wanted to draw her sword and stab him through.
"State your conditions, and how you can get the person released."
Fortunately, Ruoxin stopped her, preventing Shen Sangwan from acting impulsively.
"Your Highness just saved my life, and I should repay a favor. Unfortunately, I am a Northern Witch, and Your Highness is my sworn enemy. This... is quite a dilemma. However, I have a plan, but I don't know if Your Highness would be willing..."
"Xiaotong, I want to kill him!"
【Master, let's not act impulsively. Impulsiveness is the devil. Let's think about Xiao Yan Yan. If you kill him, everything will be over.】
Shen Sangwan endured it again and again, her grip on the sword hilt tightening. After taking several deep breaths, she said, "Speak, stop being so wishy-washy."
"Why not have the princess marry me, so that we can form a marriage alliance with the Northern Witches and establish friendly relations?"
I thought I would hear some harsh conditions from the other party, such as ceding cities or paying a certain amount of food and money, but I didn't expect him to be such a shameless person.
"You've just arrived in Nanjing, so you probably don't know that I have a fondness for women, and I'm not interested in you."
After speaking, he looked the other person up and down.
But as soon as Shen Sangwan finished speaking, the other party disregarded the sword at his neck, stood up, and smiled excitedly at Shen Sangwan, saying, "That's just the way it is, I am a woman, which just happens to suit the princess's wishes."
Seeing the other person approaching so close that they were about to pounce on her, Shen Sangwan was so frightened that she quickly took several steps back.
"Damn it, one after another, am I some kind of hot commodity? Why do they all love to flock to me?"
"Stop, stop! You stand right there!"
Shen Sangwan raised her sword and pointed it at the other person, temporarily using the long sword to isolate herself from the white-haired boy.
"What did you just say? You're a woman—!"
Shen Sangwan looked at the man several times. From head to toe, there was not a single part of him that resembled a woman; he was exactly like a young man.
He was still a fair-skinned and handsome young man.
"Ha! What fair skin and beauty? This is a traitor from an enemy country! What's he thinking all day long?!"
After mentally berating herself, seeing the other party's posture as if to move forward again, Shen Sangwan gripped her longsword tightly and rebuked him fiercely, "If you move forward again, don't blame me for being ruthless with my sword."
"But I feel that Your Highness would be reluctant to harm me."
Seeing that the other party was fearless, Shen Sangwan directly drew her sword and stabbed it into the man's heart.
And without the slightest hesitation.
If we don't teach her a lesson, she'll probably start taking advantage of us.
The boy sensed the killing intent and was forced to retreat repeatedly. In the process of dodging, he aggravated his internal injuries, spitting out a mouthful of foul blood that splattered on the ground, instantly causing the green grass to wither and die.
"Your Highness, be careful."
Seeing this, Ruoxin quickly pulled Shen Sangwan aside to a safe distance.
The boy, having nothing to support him, fell backward.
It crashed heavily into the mud.
"Your Highness, please wait here. I will go ahead and take a look."
