Chapter 34

These eight men weren’t weak. They were at least sixth-stage True Cultivators or higher. Mu Yurou had really invested a lot into this.

“What I hate the most is how you act so indifferently, as if everything is within your control. Mu Qianyue, I won’t let you marry into the Prince Jing Manor so smoothly. I want your name to be tarnished and for you to live a life worse than death!” Mu Yurou’s eyes were seething with wild fury and hatred.

“You hate me that much?” This method was really vicious.

“I don’t lose to you in terms of beauty, my aptitude is stronger than yours, and I’m better at expressing myself compared to you. Why are you the one enjoying a dignified status and receiving the love from everyone since birth? Why are you the one to become the future Crown Princess? On the other hand, I’m just a normal citizen and I can’t even afford a piece of beautiful clothing, let alone all those cultivating resources! My father even lost his life to save your grandfather. He was my only kin! Although Mu Hong took me in as his adopted granddaughter, I’m just treated as a servant!

“That’s why I swore that I would seize all of your possessions, one by one, including Brother Yu! And I succeeded! But your sudden change destroyed everything that I’d so carefully planned out! Why are you suddenly not a fool anymore? Why?!” Mu Yurou bellowed out in great pain, her eyes looking red and deranged.

Mu Qianyue’s eyes changed when she heard that, the cold gleam in the depth of her eyes slowly gathering together. Although Mu Yurou was just an adopted daughter of the Defender Marquis Manor, her grandfather had nurtured her, treating her as he would his real granddaughter. Yet, Mu Yurou thought of her grandfather in this manner!

“Grandfather has always treated you as if you’re his real granddaughter! You were the one who were blinded by your own selfish interests!”

“Hmph! You’re that old man’s real granddaughter, so naturally you would speak up for him. If he really treated me as his granddaughter, then why did he have to let you stand between me and the Crown Prince despite knowing that I like the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince also likes me?” Mu Yurou’s wore a vicious expression and said, smiling coldly.

“Stubborn!” If her grandfather were to know that Mu Yurou, whom he had treated so sincerely, turned out to be so cold-blooded, he would definitely be heartbroken!

“Don’t worry, after you die, I won’t let that old man off so easily either!” Mu Yurou smiled savagely.

The words made Mu Qianyue’s gaze turn cold. Her family was her bottom line that was not to be touched. Ever. Those who did must die!

Mu Yurou swung her sleeve, revealing a callous smile, and said to the black-clothed men, “Do it! Just don’t kill her!”

“Heh… Do you really think that your plan is really flawless?” Mu Qianyue’s lips curled up and she wore an expression as if she was looking at an idiot.

As her voice ended, Ding Hao came walking out from the forest together with several tens of shadow guards. “I didn’t expect that Master had brought up such an ingrate after all these years!”

When Mu Yurou saw Ding Hao and the others, her countenance changed drastically and became ghastly pale. Why did Ding Hao come? Did he hear everything they had said earlier? How was she going to get out of this? Turning swiftly, she wanted to leave but was grabbed by Ding Hao, lifted up like a small chicken, and tossed in front of Mu Qianyue. The black-clothed men she had spent so much to enlist were also rapidly suppressed.

“Young Miss, how are you planning on dealing with her?”

“An eye for an eye.” Mu Qianyue left these five words indifferently and left.

Ding Hao’s eyes revealed a sharp coldness when looking toward Mu Yurou. Since she wanted to harm the Young Miss’s reputation, then he’d just destroy her reputation.

An eye for an eye indeed.

“Feed this to them.” After taking out a bottle of medicine and handing it to a shadow guard next to him, the men were each fed with a medicinal pill. Ding Hao then led everyone to leave.

After those men took the pill, their faces flushed up and they kept on tugging at their clothes until they ripped off the restraining items. When their gazes landed on Mu Yurou, who was at the side, they instantly turned into ferocious and hungered beasts, pouncing toward her like demons.

…

Mu Qianyue sat on the Prince Jing Manor’s sedan. After they went through with the rituals, she entered the room directly. In comparison to the liveliness in the Crown Prince Manor, Prince Jing Manor was a lot quieter.

However, she liked the peace.

A pair of big wedding candles were lit in the room and a red blanket was laid out on the bed. Longans, peanuts, and dates were scattered all over it.

After Mu Qianyue entered the room, she took off her veil and lay on the bed, munching on the dates while shaking her legs leisurely.

Not long later, a lass came to bring food for her. They were all food that she liked.

Oh, they knew what she liked to eat. It seemed that they had spent some effort!

At the thought of what was said when Cang Ming said via a voice transmission when the betrothal gifts were brought, Mu Qianyue’s eyes narrowed. Was Nalan Jing really simple-minded? Would a simple-minded person know to use money to wheedle her?

After having her fill, Mu Qianyue lay back onto the bed in contentment. Since she had woken up too early, she was starting to feel sleepy.

Footsteps rang out from outside the room, then the sound of the door opening entered her ears.

Nalan Jing was wearing red wedding attire, his black hair fastened up with a jade hairpin. He looked especially spirited and handsome, looking more handsome than he had in the past. His pair of glaze-like purple eyes were really entrancing.

When Nalan Jing saw the young lady lying on the bed and not caring about her image at all, his lips curled up into a faint helpless smile. There was a hint of adoration in that smile as well. However, in her drowsy state, Mu Qianyue didn’t see it.

“Wife, we haven’t drank the cross-cupped wine yet!”

Looking at the figure slowly feeling his way to the table, Mu Qianyue walked up to him and helped him sit down. It was rare for him to feel happy, so she should just go along with him, right?

She poured two cups of wine and passed one to him.

Nalan Jing’s fingers that were slender like jade held onto the cup, seemingly a little nervous and excited at the same time. “After today, you’ll be mine! No one is allowed to snatch you away!”

Hearing that, Mu Qianyue’s lips twitched helplessly. When she opened her mouth, she found that she was unable to say a word. Should she tell him that marrying him was just an interim solution? That she didn’t really like him?

This guy would probably be so angry that he’d break out in tears!

Even as she mulled over it in her head, she performed the wedding rituals as she should.

“Alright, we’ve drank the cross-cupped wine. You should go back to rest. I’m going to sleep.”

“Go back to rest? This is my room. My dear, where do you want me to go back to rest?” Nalan Jing asked, looking puzzled.

His room?

Mu Qianyue was stunned and her eyes darted around the room. Oh… There was only one bed. How were they going to sleep here?

“I’ve got it. My dear, you must be despising me and you want to chase me out, right?” Nalan Jing’s head drooped down, his face wearing a dejected expression.

“No, no, why would I chase you out? It’s just that… it’s just that I’m not used to sharing a bed with someone else…” Mu Qianyue let out a sigh, feeling stuffy. Wasn’t she nornally a cold-blooded and heartless person? Why was it that when it was matters concerning him, she changed completely?

This wasn’t logical!

“Alright, you can come up. I’ll share half with you.” Mu Qianyue didn’t notice the gleam of joy in someone’s eyes, indicating a successful scheme.

Suddenly, a body came pressing down.

Mu Qianyue opened her eyes and looked at the man who was pressing down on top of her in astonishment. “What on earth are you doing?”

“Uhh… Making babies…” Nalan Jing wore a blank expression. “They say that we can have babies like this. After we have babies, you won’t run off anymore.”

Uhh!

Mu Qianyue was completely speechless. Damn, who told him about this?

They must be asking for a beating!

“Be good, get off me quickly…” She took in a deep breath and tried hard to calm herself down.

But a certain someone continued to press down on her, having no intention of getting off of her at all. “No, I want to make babies!”

Pffft!

To hell with making babies!

Mu Qianyue held back her impulse to curse with great difficulty. What on earth was this? She really had the urge to vomit blood!

“You aren’t getting off? If you don’t, I’ll get angrーMmmm…”

A soft feeling suddenly came from her lips and Mu Qianyue suddenly felt as if she had been electrocuted!

F*ck!

Just like that, her first kiss had been stolen!
