Nineteen years after the Emperor Xun's reign, in the Black Tortoise era, on an ordinary day in 146 years, the capital city, Qin Creek, was bustling as usual.

Suddenly …

Chase after them!

An extremely discordant voice resounded like a thunderclap in the sky. The commoners of Qin Creek were all horrified to find out that the Royal Army, which was dressed in the same scarlet armor and had nine thorny tail, had swarmed into the streets of the forest like a swarm of bees.

Catch the assassin! It was the brat on the roof!

How dare he barge into the palace right under the eyes of the Regional Commander? Chase after him! Don't stop!

Don't let him get away!

Continue! Keep going!...

The army roared at the flustered guards and chased after the black shadow above them amidst the surging crowd …

Chaxianyu's gaze paused for a moment, and then aimed at an open shutter in front of him. Without even thinking, he abruptly dove in …

Ah, it hurts!

Chaxianyu didn't expect that there would be someone standing silently with their back to the window, there was not enough time to stop their footsteps. Smashing into that person's back, his already small nose became even flatter …

Shier Hong reacted quickly and turned around, catching the falling beauty in time. He glanced at his face vigilantly, and when he saw Chaxianyu baring her teeth, he stopped for a moment, before immediately stabilizing the girl's arms.

Hey, why don't you just let go of me... Chaxianyu was so angry that she covered her nose and was about to shout at her opponent. Suddenly, she was stunned as if she had discovered something.

Chaxianyu saw a pair of ice-cold golden eyes staring at her earnestly and calmly, like a mirror that clearly reflected everything she had said.

Chaxianyu was very surprised, with a flip of her hand, she grabbed Shier Hong's thin sleeves, pulling her pair of beautiful eyes, using her brute force, to draw closer to herself.

It's the first time I've ever seen someone's eyes look so good.

Chaxianyu commented as she clicked her tongue. This big sister, you must have come from a good place? Are there any alien bloodlines? Do you have any thoughts of entering the palace?

Shier Hong did not speak.

He followed Chaxianyu's pull with interest, and quietly looked at the woman in front of him, who had taken his eyes as an exhibition to admire, and even had a serious expression on her face.

A trace of jade-like warmth slowly appeared in his originally brilliant golden pupils … Even he himself did not notice that the color of his eyes, which had been unique for the past thousand years, was slowly changing.

Chaxianyu, who was concentrating on admiring the beautiful eyes of her opponent, wanted to exclaim out loud! It's amazing how the color can change... Suddenly, the foreign beauty covered her mouth with her hand.

Lord Hong? Lord Hong, are you there? This subordinate is the Imperial City Guard Squad's Overseer!

It's over!

did not expect the soldier to catch up so quickly, and panicked a little. She anxiously looked all around to find a place to hide, but when Shier Hong saw her flustered expression, a hint of playfulness flashed past his eyes. After pondering for a bit, he smiled.

The man calmly raised an arm and slapped the wide Zhexiu away. His other hand wrapped around Chaxianyu's shoulder as Chaxianyu heavily smashed into his chest with a pu sound.

Don't make a sound.

A deep and magnetic voice entered Chaxianyu's ears.

Chaxianyu's entire person was enveloped by the wide sleeves, and was stuck on the other party's chest.

Shier Hong closed her Zhexiu, ensuring that Chaxianyu was completely covered up, before he finally raised his head and spoke in a clear voice.

Come in.

This subordinate will trouble sire to take a rest, he should be punished with ten thousand deaths! This subordinate dares to ask sire, have you seen a person dressed as an assassin? The executive officer stood respectfully in the doorway, his head drenched with cold sweat, his voice trembling, his hands clasped together in a deep bow.

No.

Shier Hong lazily spat out these two words, but the governor felt his hair stand on end, cold sweat trickling down his face.

Thank you, Sir! Your subordinate will take his leave now! With a click, the bolt closed.

Hiding within Shier Hong's sleeves, Chaxianyu did not dare to move at all. She immediately struggled to push Shier Hong away, and her eyes widened in disbelief.

You, you, you, you … You're a man?!

Unexpectedly, Shier Hong laughed involuntarily when he was asked, he laughed out loud, his fingers covering his lips, he smiled as he raised his eyebrows, the way he looked at Chaxianyu was extremely enchanting, why, do you think I am a girl?

Chaxianyu was at a loss for words. She helplessly rolled her eyes, just as she was about to turn and escape from the window, Shier Hong suddenly pressed her hand on the wall and leaned over to cover Chaxianyu.

You want to leave just like that?

The man had long, straight, dark hair, which he casually draped over his shoulders, trailing down the ironed gold hem of his plain robe. In order to catch the expression of the Fish, a few strands of hair fell off from its ears. From this angle, the Fish could clearly see that there was a demonic red lotus on his forehead, which was hidden by his long hair. All he could see was a pair of long and thin eyebrows, soft lips, pure white skin, and a pair of smiling golden eyes.

If you don't want to let go, don't blame me for being impolite. Chaxianyu raised her head, staring at Shier Hong and warned him fiercely.

Heh.

The ridiculously beautiful man in front of him suddenly laughed.

I protected you and you intend to leave with your benefactor?

The corner of Shier Hong's lips raised, as he was very satisfied with Chaxianyu's reaction.

It looks like you don't intend to return your things.

Chaxianyu saw the man slowly take out a purple colored cloth bag from his chest.

Oh? You really don't intend to take it back?

Give it back to me!

Chaxianyu was so angry that she jumped and reached out to grab the jade bag in Shier Hong's hands. She was neither fast nor slow and easily dodged the attack, after a few rounds, not only did Chaxianyu not manage to get his hands on the jade bag, she was even like a cat who was being played around, gasping for breath.

Damn it! Chaxianyu secretly complained. Based on her own observations, this man shouldn't have any soulforce at all … But! But no matter what, they couldn't get close to him. She was no ordinary person …

Chaxianyu secretly thought that since she had learnt most of her martial arts, no matter how good her Qing Gong was, it would not be able to compare to her at this point. She sneaked a glance at Shier Hong who was leisurely walking to the side of the table and brewing tea.

Cough cough! Chaxianyu pretended to cough a few times, put her hands behind his back, straightened his back, and slowly approached Shier Hong.

Chaxianyu said in a charming voice, her face was full of smiles, and she blinked her eyes hard at Shier Hong, trying his best to seduce him.

What? Not snatch anymore?

Shier Hong pretended not to see Chaxianyu's flattery, he slowly took off the lid of the teapot and spread the tea seed, releasing a sweet fragrance.

Milord ~ Look at you, you look like a direct descendant, you have an extraordinary temperament, a dignified and powerful demeanor, a generous hand, and an extraordinary aura. Eh, you're still … Also...

What else? Shier Hong was still smiling, laughing until his eyes turned a deep green.

Go on.

Chaxianyu choked, this time she was in a difficult situation, in her heart, there was a little Chaxianyu kneeling down and beating her chest with her kicks, it was so sad that it was almost a blur.

If I had known earlier, I would have taken the Chinese Literature lesson … This was truly a loss to him!

Chaxianyu did not give up. She racked her brains and searched her stomach.

Seeing that she was struggling to think through it, Shier Hong stopped laughing and hooked his finger at her …

Come here.

Chaxianyu quickly ran over, still acting like a dog leg to show her goodwill. What did Master want to say?

Shier Hong propped up his face with one arm, the other hand lazily poked at the black mask hanging around Chaxianyu's neck.

Your assassin attire looks very unprofessional. Could it be that this is the first time you've entered the palace?

Chaxianyu laughed dryly, hahaha, hahaha, Master's eyesight is really good! This was the first time, the first time he didn't have any experience! Hahahaha...

As you have just heard, even the governor of the imperial guards would not dare to overstep his boundaries with me.

Shier Hong observed Chaxianyu's expression carefully, there was playfulness in her eyes, no matter what, breaking into the palace without reason or attempting to escape, was an unforgivable sin, you and I will not recognize each other, but I will protect you this time.

Chaxianyu wanted to say something, but she hesitated. Just as she was about to speak, the man continued, although I don't like to use my authority to pressure the innocent, nor am I interested in the scheming and scheming of the officials, it doesn't mean that I can watch someone commit crimes right in front of the emperor without doing anything.

Shier Hong held onto his white robes, and seemingly speaking in a casual manner, he said, "It is my duty to fulfill my duty to hand you over to the imperial government."

Are you threatening me?

When Shier Hong heard, he raised his head and saw Chaxianyu's restrained smile.

Now that you return the jade bag to me, I can still spare your life.

Ha ha-ha ha-ha ha-ha ha-ha ha-ha!" You are as interesting as I expected.

Chaxianyu was frightened by Shier Hong and retreated a few steps.

— Very interesting. With much difficulty, Shier Hong stopped laughing, he straightened his body and picked up his teacup, his tone filled with happiness.

Come find me tomorrow at this time, I'll think about it again and not return it to you.

Chaxianyu was enraged, she rushed forward and grabbed the man's collar, you are acting shameless!

Oh?

Shier Hong raised his eyebrows and grabbed Chaxianyu's chin. Then, he leaned over and muttered in an ambiguous manner, "Then, I'll hand you over to the imperial government." He was at his disposal.

Chaxianyu tried her best to struggle free, she sprinted to the window and jumped onto the roof, just as she was about to turn around and leave, her figure suddenly stopped, she stopped her movements, and thought for a moment, then turned her head around with red eyes and bit her lips and asked.

Do you mean what you say?

I, Xu, have always kept my word.

Chaxianyu remained silent, lowered his head, raised it again, looked at the man deeply, and then disappeared from the window.

Shier Hong walked towards the window and leisurely leaned against it as he played with Chaxianyu's Redbud Jade Pouch with a fingertip.

He unhurriedly took out a wooden token from his bag. His green and heavy eyes were instantly dyed a bright gold.

On the front of the token, there was a calligraphy that was imprinted deeply into the four-tailed six-legged Phoenix pattern. On the other side was the tea clan's totem, the Eight Star Formation, one of the four most influential clans in the world.

It seemed that the identity of this assassin couldn't be underestimated. Shier Hong's narrow eyes curved, and from between her dark red lips, revealed a faint smile.

Perhaps … My lovely Princess Xin Ning?
