Glimmers danced in the man's eyes before he paused and continued, "He's still in the Daoguang Palace discussing your marriage with the empress dowager."

Chen Mu Mu was speechless.

Don't hit your face too fast.

Su Yanyan, the princess of the empress dowager, had also gone over to discuss the marriage alliance with the empress dowager. They had kidnapped the wrong person, right?

Su Yanyan would definitely not be willing to marry Murong Yu.

Su Yanyan was a ghost. If one could think of a way to pretend to be sick to avoid the marriage, then they could think of another way to reject Murong Yu.

Murong Yu, who had captured the wrong person, could only face him head-on. It was definitely not going to be good for him.

Chen Mu Mu laughed in schadenfreude, but suddenly remembered that she was currently a fake princess. Murong Yu and his comrades would care about the real princess' life, but they might not care about the safety of a passerby like her.

Especially after being deflated by Su Yanyan, when he returned, Murong Yu's emotions were still unknown to him, no matter how irritable he was. What if he treated her like an outlet to vent his anger?

She was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. If the man in front of her found out that she wasn't the real princess and started a fight, how would she die?

Therefore, she had to settle this man before Murong Yu returned.

His eyes flickered, and his tone was calm.

"When will your prince come back?"

However, even if he finished discussing matters with the empress dowager, Murong Yu probably wouldn't come here. After all, this place was so shabby and crude, how could it possibly be the resting place of a king?

And from what the man said, this so-called princess was going to stay here for the night …

Was he trying to intimidate her, or was he deliberately tormenting her?

The man's expression didn't change as he wiped the oily knife with a piece of cloth. "After we finish talking about the princess' marriage, we'll be back."

Who knows when the conversation will be over?

Maybe a while, maybe later.

And she didn't have time to wait.

After a moment of silence, he asked, "Give me my item."

"No." The man rejected her bluntly. "The contents of the princess' bag are too frightening. It's better if I take care of it on her behalf."

After pausing for a moment, she cast a sidelong glance at her and said, "Before His Highness is done with his matters, I will have to trouble the princess to stay here for a period of time."

It was a nice thing to say, but it was just detaining her.

Chen Mu lowered his eyes as he calculated the path he would take in escape.

The man called out to her and asked, "Why isn't the princess eating the roasted chicken? Could it be that my cooking skills are too poor to enter the princess' eyes?"

No matter how good her cooking was, Chen Mu Mu, who had been tricked by wild game, did not dare to eat food that was grilled by strangers.

The highest realm of feeding poison was to subtly cause one to fall. For example, the last time when she was tricked by the masked man, she was unable to see through the poison in the food.

There were mountains beyond the mountain, and people beyond the mountain. She didn't dare to be overly confident.

He smiled faintly and said, "I had a bad stomach from eating bad food at noon. I still don't have any appetite."

The man thought for a moment and an awkward expression appeared on his face, "I've given Princess a myriad of drugs to clear her intestines. Her body should be much better now, right?"

Only after hearing the words of the man did Chen Mu realize that her body felt much more refreshed compared to before she fainted.

Nodding, he replied, "It's much better now."

Most likely, when he carried her here, he was also afraid that she would stink from her noisy stomach.

If he had been constipated...

Chen Mu Mu Mu glanced at the man with interest. 'Will this fellow just throw me into the pond?'

The hypothetical matter did not conform to reality. Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu couldn't restrict his thoughts and wanted to continue speaking with the male lead, but that person stood up and looked at the fireworks that suddenly shot up from the night sky, his expression slightly changing.

Princess, this humble one has to leave for a moment.

Offended?

That's not a good word.

Chen Mu became vigilant, but before he could even react, that person had already hit her twice.

In the ancient times, acupuncture was much faster than herbal medicine, and in just a second, it stopped Chen Mu Mu.

Not only that, he couldn't even speak a single word.

Chen Mu Mu Mu's eyes widened as he watched the man carry her on his shoulder. He then leaped onto the roof of the dilapidated palace, and dashed back and forth in the darkness.

Can't move, can't talk, like fish on a chopping board.

A deep sense of powerlessness, a deep sense of humiliation.

In the end, she, Chen Mu Mu, was still … Too weak.

The feeling of putting his life in someone else's hands was too bad.

If he could escape this time …

Chen Mu Mu's eyes narrowed as he made his decision in his heart.

If she could safely escape this time, she would definitely become powerful. She definitely wouldn't allow anyone to bully her again!

Perhaps it was because the heavens had heard her prayers, but a shadow suddenly appeared behind the flying man.

The man went east, the shadow east, the man west, the shadow west.

He was being followed!

Realizing this, the man lowered his body and settled down in a secluded palace.

The black shadow caught up. The black shadow covered his face and landed within the palace.

The man's entire body tensed up as he stared at the masked man with a cold gaze. With a sinister tone, he asked, "Who are you? Why have you been following us all this time?"

The man didn't answer, instead, he pulled out his sword and swung it towards the man's face.

This was a fighting style that Chen Mu Mu Mu had never seen before. He was clearly wielding a sword, but he didn't execute any sword moves. It was as though he was waving a kitchen knife …

A chop, a chop, a chop...

However, the strength was still quite extraordinary. Not only did the wind from the sword sweep up a cloud of dust, it also chopped off several thick old trees in the palace.

The man could also be considered an expert, but he was completely crushed in such a disorderly manner. He was completely unable to display any of his strength.

Moreover, he was carrying a burden on his shoulder.

In order to protect Chen Mu Mu Mu, Zhang Xuan's clumsy body wasn't able to dodge in time. As the sharp wind from the sword brushed past him, two bloody holes appeared on his shoulder and arm.

"Hmph." The man gave a stuffy groan as he looked at the bleeding wounds on the body. Finally, he realized that Chen Mu Mu was a burden and gritted his teeth as he placed Chen Mu Mu on the ground and charged at the black clothed man while bearing the two wounds.

Then... He was not a match for the man in black.

The black clothed man's sword technique that was like chopping vegetables did not decrease just because the man was missing Chen Mu Mu's burden. Instead, it became even sharper.

The sword was like the wind, and it moved like a shadow. Because it was too fast, the sky and earth were covered in sword shadows.

In less than ten seconds, the man was pierced by the sword wind until he became a sieve, covered in blood.

Chen Mu Mu, who had his acupoints pressed down and was unable to move or speak, could only use his eyes to look in the dark night, thus being able to see the results clearly.

The man in black was clearly teasing the man on purpose.

Realizing this, the man stepped back, his eyes red.

"You've gone too far!"

He fiercely gritted his teeth, raised his sword and was about to rush up, but suddenly, a gust of wind blew over.

Hualala …

The man's clothes turned into dust and disappeared.

Then, a naked man appeared.

Chen Mu Mu was dumbfounded.

The man was also dumbstruck. After being stunned for a moment, he loosened his grip on his sword and quickly covered a certain spot.

However, he still won.

One of the instigators was still unhappy. Looking at the man's dumbstruck expression while covering his own bird, he hefted the sword in his hand and pointed it at the unspeakable part of the man.

Thinking of the black clothed man's perverted sword wind, the man let out a cry. He no longer cared about Chen Mu Mu and the swords on the ground and leaped onto the roof of the palace. Then, he ran off with his life on the line.

Chen Mu Mu Mu originally thought that the black-clothed man would chase after her, but to his surprise, the black-clothed man was even more interested in her. He only indifferently swept his gaze over the white silhouette as he walked towards her.

Chen Mu Mu blinked his eyes as the alarms in his heart rang, and his face became as calm as ever.

In any case, she couldn't move right now, nor could she resist. If the black clothed man did anything to her, the worst outcome would be death.

If the worst were to happen, what wouldn't they be able to accept?

Chen Mu Mu calmly gazed at that person.

"Ya, he's actually so calm." The man in black opened his mouth. His voice was melodious and was filled with a hint of regret, "If I knew you wouldn't have panicked, I wouldn't have come all the way to the palace looking for you. I almost died from exhaustion."

The corners of Chen Mu Mu's mouth twitched, and his eyelids twitched as well.

Hearing such a melodious voice, even if one could not see the person's face, she could immediately guess who it was.

Su Yanyan.

"How boring." Su Yanyan took off the black cloth on his face, glanced at her, and said, "My acupoints have been pierced, I can't move my body much, and I'm not afraid of death."

Chen Mu Mu couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Silly girl." Looking into her eyes, Su Yanyan sneered. He extended his hand and touched her head before opening her acupoints.

After he finished unlocking his acupoints, he could tell that her chest was a lot bigger than his, thus he curiously reached out his hand … He touched it again.

"Su Yanyan!" Having obtained her freedom, Chen Mu Mu Mu slapped her hand away before gritting her teeth, "You're a lady, how can you be so perverted!"

"I'm not a pervert." Su Yanyan's face was serious, his gaze was still fixated on her chest, "However, yours seems to be older than me."

Did she think that just because her expression was serious, she would not know her lust?

After taking in a deep breath, he stood up and stretched his body before looking at Su Yanyan who was dressed in black.

"Nice figure."

"I thought you would praise my martial arts." Su Yanyan said.

Chen Mu Mu smiled.

In fact, staying in the Ancient Era for so long, she had already researched on some of the things unique to the Ancient Era. The first time she met him, when she checked Su Yanyan's pulse, she had already discovered the hidden Inner Qi in Su Yanyan's body.

How could it be possible to have inner strength but not martial arts?

Thus, Chen Mu Mu was not surprised by the move that Su Yanyan had displayed in front of her.

However, Su Yanyan's sword technique was an eye-opener for her.

"Your sword art is not bad."

Chen Mu Mu Mu praised, his eyes narrowed with a mocking smile.

Su Yanyan looked at her smile and was stunned for a moment. "I wasn't full when I was young.

"Here you go." Su Yanyan passed a cloth bag to her, "Don't lose it next time."

Chen Mu glanced at it, and saw that it was her personal cloth bag. During the battle just now, Su Yanyan had casually let it go.

After experiencing the fish on the chopping block's annoyance and seeing the life-saving item once again, Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu felt a sense of familiarity.

Therefore, he sincerely thanked Su Yanyan: "Thank you."

You're welcome, you're my little brother." Su Yan tied her longsword around her waist and patted Chen Mu Mu's shoulder. "Come, let's go. The palace compound. If something big happens, it won't be good to walk out.
