Without any place to hide, XuanRong could only turn back her head and stare at Long Hao Chen. She could not help but chuckle and mock herself.

This time, she was truly reckless… and she had to pay the price for being reckless.

'I guess, I'll just have to fight till death huh…'

XuanRong could not help but wish. Hoping that she would be saved by that person she longed to see.

'Hahahah! As if.'

"YOU!! HOW DARE YOU a.s.sa.s.sINATE THIS PRINCE?! THIS PRINCE WILL MAKE SURE THAT YOU DIE UNDER MY FEET!!"

Long Hao Chen moved, using all of his strength, he slashed his words vertically.

*baaam!!*

Before his sword touched XuanRong's clothes, a shadow suddenly appeared in between them. In a blink of an eye, Long Hao Chen flew away. He could not understand. Everything was very fast. The only thing he recalled as he flew backwards, the moment that shadow appeared, his chest was struck by a palm containing inner qi[2].

XuanRong's eyes were glued at the person's back in front of her.

'It can't be…'

"Why… why are you here?" XuanRong subconsciously whispered.

When Xu Fei Yi arrived near at the residence where the delegates of Jing Country resides, he noticed the red firework at the distance. His countenance darkened. Signaling the five shadow guards behind him, Xu Fei Yi ordered each one of them to and visit the four sides of the residence and help their Ladys.h.i.+p's personal maidservants.

Without any delay, Xu Fei Yi went towards the signal. When he arrived at the edge, he saw his beloved woman looking tired while being chased by that barking dog Long Hao Chen.

When Long Hao Chen was bullying the 'weak' Xu Fei Yi when they were at the Jing country, Xu Fei Yi did not put him in the eyes and never got angry towards him, letting Mu Qing do the work. But now, looking at XuanRong's pitiful appearance, Xu Fei Yi's fury exploded.

'How dare this worm hurt This Lords.h.i.+p's woman? Seeking death!!'

Like flicking an ant, Xu Fei Yi snorted when he saw the battered Long Hao Chen on the ground.

"Why… why are you here?"

Hearing her question, Xu Fei Yi turned his head and angrily stared at XuanRong.

Looking at the eyes behind the mask, XuanRong could not help but shrink back. She suddenly felt afraid. It was the first time she saw his eyes filled with anger and frustration.

'Frustration?' XuanRong was puzzled.

"Are you done playing around?" His cold voice echoed in her ears.

XuanRong could not help but glare back at him.

'Playing around? Do you think that I was only playing?!'

XuanRong wanted to retort back but when she noticed the chilling air around him, she could not find the courage to speak. She suddenly felt like a little cat who was caught stealing food.

Although she was glad that he came and saved her, it did not mean that he could act like she did something wrong. For her, everything that she did was for the sake of her survival and the survival of her love ones.

How come in front of this man's eyes, she was only playing around, causing trouble?

XuanRong could not help but feel perplexed and frustrated.
