Looking at her averted eyes, Xiao Chengyi smiled deeply.

He had always thought that this was a little girl whose entire body was covered with thorns, making it impossible for him to get close to her.

Now it seemed that she was just a fourteen year old ordinary little girl.

"Go sleep on your own. This King has matters to attend to."

Xiao Chengyi gently rubbed her head, then turned and walked to the table to sit down, and continued reading his own book.

Mu Qianyu lifted her hand and caressed her head, thinking back to Xiao Chengyi's actions just now.

For some reason, she did not resist and instead felt a sense of warmth.

Just like how big brother cares about little sister.

When the sleepiness hit him again, Mu Qianyu stood there dumbly. It was not possible for him to not sleep either.

Xiao Chengyi did not even raise his head to look at her, quietly reading by himself, as if he had completely forgotten about her.

Mu Qianyu hesitated for less than an hour before she finally couldn't take it anymore. She sat on the side of the bed, leaned on the side, and fell asleep with her head tilted to the side.

The night was a bit cold, so Xiao Chengyi stood up, wanting to add some clothes. Only then did he realise that the girl had fallen asleep beside the bed.

In her dreams, she still seemed to be unsteady. Her little face was tightly knitted, and both of her hands were clutching her clothes.

However, under the light of the candlelight, her delicate face was still mesmerizing.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Chengyi's heart suddenly sank.

He had grown up like this, but this was the first time he saw a girl sleeping.

After a moment of thought, he walked over to the bed and took her in his arms.

It was a very light feeling.

His movements were also very light, as if he was afraid of waking her up.

He opened the tent and placed her on the couch. Then he took off her shoes and pulled the blanket over her.

He, who had a noble status, had always been served by others. When had he ever served anyone else before?

He didn't even know how to take care of others. However, when he saw her, for some reason, he started to feel pity for her.

Perhaps he was truly tired, or perhaps he had temporarily lost his martial arts, causing his vigilance to drop.

Mu Qianyu was not woken up by Xiao Chengyi's actions, instead, because he had changed to a more comfortable environment to rest, his tightly knitted little face gradually relaxed.

His quiet appearance gave him a sweet and refreshing feeling.

Unknowingly, Xiao Chengyi had stood beside the bed for a long time. Only when the candlelight gradually dimmed down, did Xiao Chengyi abruptly wake up and return to the table to read his book.

In a daze, a group of black-clothed men continued to chase from behind. Longsword s that flashed with a cold light had already left their sheaths and were shooting straight at them.

Behind him was the towering cliff. Taking a small step back, he fell off the cliff.

The wind was whistling in his ears. The cliff was so deep that he couldn't see the bottom. He just kept falling, and there was no end to it …

The scene changed slightly.

The handsome and charming man wore a white suit. With a charming smile and a gentle expression, it was as if a spring breeze had brushed past his heart.

As he swapped rings, he slowly reached into his clothes.

When he retracted his hand, he did not have the marriage proposal ring that his fiancee expected.

There was only a polished pistol and the muzzle aimed at her.

With a bang, he pulled the trigger. The fiancée in formal attire fell to the ground as blood continuously flowed out from the hole in her chest …

"No!"

A sharp cry pierced the silent night.

The people who were hiding outside and eavesdropping exchanged a glance.

"Prince Jin, do you think our Duke …"

Sui Yang looked at Xiao Qi who was leaning on the wall, waiting to watch a good show, wanting to say something but hesitating.

"Is this what Xiao Chengyi did?"

Listening to that miserable scream, Xiao Qi rubbed his nose and said, "There's no need to be so rough, right? I'm still a young lady that hasn't reached my age yet."

"You also know that it's a little girl?"

Sui Yang pouted. You know how to push people in.

"What? You want to fight over a woman with your Prince?"

Xiao Qi glanced at Sui Yang.

Sui Yang snorted, he raised his head and said complacently: "I am the most loyal to my Duke, why would I covet the future princess of our palace?"

He had a different opinion from the Luo brothers. At all times, they respected their master's opinion.

But sometimes it had to be changed a little.

For example, Sui Yang was clearly more anxious than his master about the matter of his wangfei.

His master was already 23 years old. If he didn't have a woman by his side, he would be known as a man with a broken sleeve.

"Are you okay?"

Xiao Chengyi put down the book in his hands, he did not get up, but turned to look at Mu Qianyu who was covered in sweat and asked in concern.

He knew that at this time, it was best not to go over.

Mu Qianyu wiped off the cold sweat on her forehead. She didn't understand why she had to do two every time she had a nightmare.

The nightmares of his past life intertwined with the nightmares of the Modern Realm, both of which occurred at the moment of his death.

She had been trying very hard to forget about her nightmare wedding with the Blue Court.

However, after more than ten years of nightmare, her memories of that period became even deeper.

It also made her dislike men more and more.

Suddenly, he heard a concerned voice.

Mu Qianyu turned her head in shock. When he saw Xiao Chengyi's eyes that were as black as ink, he finally remembered where he was.

But...

She touched her lower body. It was a very soft feeling, and her body was also very warm.

Lowering his eyes, he realized that he was actually sleeping on Xiao Chengyi's bed.

He was shocked, and his eyes widened. Instinctively, he lifted the blanket that was covering him.

She stared at herself once before moving her body and looking down at herself.

In the end, he got off the bed barefooted and walked around the room in a hurry.

No matter how calm and reserved Xiao Chengyi was normally, he would remain calm in the face of situations.

It was also broken by Lady Mu's abnormal action, causing him to be unable to remain calm.

What was she doing?

Could it be a nightmare?

After walking around a few times, he realized that there was nothing abnormal happening to his body. There was no pain anywhere, especially when he didn't feel anything at all.

Only now did Mu Qianyu truly believe that she wasn't stronger than that fellow.

He was relieved and patted his chest, looking scared to death.

In the end, this was the Prince Li. After looking at it for a long time, he seemed to understand why she had gone crazy.

Prince Li was instantly unhappy. What did this woman mean, was he that kind of beast?

Being thought of as a beast by others, Xiao Chengyi truly could not sit there and did not say anything.

However, before he had even opened her mouth, Mu Qianyu had already asked him: "What are you doing?"

He had somehow fallen asleep on the bed. If it wasn't him, who else could it be?

Just as Xiao Chengyi was about to speak, he immediately swallowed his words back.

Just a moment ago, he was just surprised, but now, he was about to be infuriated by this woman.

What was he doing? He was just afraid that she would catch a cold, okay?

He, Xiao Chengyi, had never cared for women, had never cared for women before.

He had done his best.

What did this woman mean? Why was she so hostile?

The well-groomed Prince Li could not help but lose his temper, as his anger rose to the surface.

He picked up the cold tea on the table and gulped it down.

Fire!

Seeing that he was actually drinking cold tea in the middle of the night, Mu Qianyu felt like asking, "Are you losing the battle?"
