"There's no need for thanks. Since you're living in my house, I should protect your safety. This is my token, so if there's anyone who is disrespectful towards me, I can reveal my token." As Shen Hanxin spoke, he took out a glowing golden Wood Token and handed it over to Duan Mu Yan.
Not declining, Duan Mu Yan casually accepted the token before looking at Shen Hanxin.
"Does Your Highness promise that after Meng Yan takes out this order badge, she will not be beaten up by others?" Duan Mu Yan spoke with a serious tone, causing Shen Han Xin to be stunned for a moment before bursting out laughing. There had never been anyone who dared to question her authority, and there had never been anyone who had allowed him to laugh to her heart's content.
Seeing Shen Hanxin's reaction, Duan Muying pursed her lips and kept the token in her bosom. Just as Duan Mu Yan was about to express his gratitude, he suddenly heard a sharp voice coming from the entrance of his residence.
"Is the reason why Mu Wang is smiling so happily? Is it because the marriage with Yuying nearing?" Xia Hou Yu's phoenix eyes widened slightly as she walked proudly towards the two people in front of her. Just as she entered the mansion, she saw the scene of Meng Yan luring Shen Hanxin. The anger hidden in her heart was ignited once again. Seeing that it was Xia Hou Yuying, Shen Hanxin gradually restrained his smile, but the corner of his lips still curved up in a dazzling arc.
"What kind of wind brought Princess Yuying here?" Shen Hanxin looked suspiciously at Xia Hou Yuying as she tapped her chin.
"Han Xin, what are you saying? I'm sure you've received the imperial decree bestowing upon you. Yu Ying is here to discuss the date of your wedding." As she spoke, Xia Hou Yu Ying held Shen Hanxin's arms with both hands, acting extremely intimate, while her eyes glanced at Duan Mu Yan from time to time, trying to seduce Shen Han Sheng without losing her memories. Now that she did, she really thought of herself as a fairy that loved everyone! Xia Hou Yuying did not think so.
"Oh, it's this matter. What does Prince Rong mean?" Shen Hanxin did not push Xia Hou Yuying away, only raising her eyebrows in response. At the side, Duan Mu Yan felt that it was inappropriate for her to be here, so she bent down to pay her respects.
"Since Your Highness has matters to attend to, Meng Yan will take her leave." Without waiting for Shen Han Xin to reply, Duan Mu Yan had already turned and left, and looking at her back, the smile on Shen Han Xin's lips grew even wider. What a good Meng Yan, she gave him endless surprises every time, and he was suddenly glad that she did not let Shen Han Sheng bring her away, otherwise, she would have lost her.
"They're all gone, what are you still looking at!" Xia Hou Yuying snorted coldly. While she was speaking, she had already let go of Shen Hanxin's arm.
"What is it? Jealous? The reason why my fourth brother was so nice to Miss Meng Yan and my princess was jealous is because she likes my fourth brother. Today, I have only chatted with Miss Meng Yan for a short while and yet you are so unhappy is not because I like you, right? " Her long and narrow eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at the girl in front of him with interest. He was very clear on the purpose of Xia Hou Yuying marrying into the Mu King's manor.
"This princess will never like you in this life!" Xia Hou Yuying angrily said.
"Oh, that is for the Wind Blade! So the princess was using the name of marrying into the Mu King's manor to get closer to the Wind Blades? If that's the case, This King will not mind having a green hat, as long as the princess likes it. " The smile on Shen Hanxin's face became more eerie, and Xia Hou Yuying felt her cheeks burning as she glared at Shen Hanxin.
"Father is waiting for your betrothal gift. I hope you won't deliver it too late." Sooner or later, she would personally kill Feng Dao. As long as he was alive, she would never be able to escape the shadow of that time.
"Princess, don't worry. This King is not like that untactful Fourth Brother who can become the son-in-law of the Xia Family. This King needs to know!" "Tomorrow, the King of Japan will send her a betrothal gift. The princess will be waiting to marry into Mu King's Manor and spend the night with me at the Spring Festival Gala …" The corners of Shen Hanxin's lips curled up, his smile becoming even more impudent.
"You'd better not go back on your word! "Otherwise..."
"Otherwise, it would mean that the princess would have her marriage annulled twice. In that case, would the princess still have the face to continue living in this world? Sigh, Han Xin is a kind person, I can't do such a thing. " Shen Hanxin's words were like sharp blades stabbing into Xia Hou Yuying's heart. Sooner or later, she would make Shen Hansheng pay double the price for breaking off the engagement. When Xia Hou Yu Ying stormed to the mansion's entrance, she was facing the wind blades returning to the mansion.
"Your subordinate pays his respects to Princess …" The Wind Blade lowered its gaze and no longer looked at Xia Hou Yuying. Unfortunately, it was just stirred up by Shen Han's message. Seeing the Wind Blade at this moment, the anger in Xia Hou Yuying's heart surged.
"Scram!" A gatekeeper servant is not worthy to pay respects to this princess! In the future, if you see me around, don't taint my phoenix eyes! " Xia Hou Yu Ying's cunning words were like whips as they hit Feng Dao's body. His bleeding heart began to hurt even more, but he remained silent, lowering his head even more.
After Xia Hou Yu Ying left, Feng Dao choked and walked in front of Shen Hanxin.
"Replying to Master, I heard that the seven holy maidens of the Moonlight Palace were staying in the Residence of Duke of Han yesterday." Wind Blade reported truthfully.
"Oh, what is Shen Hansheng singing about? Does he want to make a move? That shouldn't be the case. With his current strength, if he wanted to use force, it would be akin to throwing a stone with an egg. Forget it, let's not bother about him for now. Wind Blade, help This King prepare some betrothal gifts and make a trip to Xia Hou Manor with This King tomorrow. Since our princess is in such a hurry to get married, This King has no reason not to grant her wish! " Shen Han Xin turned to look at Feng Dao, sighing from the bottom of her heart. He was originally a man of steel, but now he was bullied by Xia Hou Yuying without saying a word. Perhaps he didn't teach him well enough.
"Your subordinate commands." Feng Dao respectfully said as he turned to leave. After Wind Blade left, Shen Hanxin's gaze shot towards the direction Duan Mu Yan left in a profound manner. Oh, Shen Hansheng, if it wasn't for this king's permission, could you have entered my manor so blatantly?!
When they parted ways, Duan Mu Yan's expression remained as calm as ever, without the slightest hint of gentleness.
"Meng Yan, did Shen Hanxin do anything to you?" That gorgeous purple dress fluttered in the wind, causing people to like her. Duan Mu Yan quietly sized up the man in front of her, the concern in her eyes definitely not an act. It was just that she really couldn't recall anything about Shen Hansheng, not even a single image.
"What does the Duke of Mu think the Duke would do to Meng Yan? Actually, Han King could rest assured. Meng Yan knew that with her understanding of the Mu King, what she was worried about would definitely not happen. But King Han, if you come in next time, you should first pass on the message to Master. " Could it be that Duan Moyan's prophecy was really the reason why Shen Hansheng was caught red-handed when he jumped down from the high wall?
"If you remember the past, you probably wouldn't think this way." A hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
"King Han seems to know a lot about Meng Yan's past. If that's the case, Meng Yan is willing to listen." Duan Mu Yan's clear eyes shone with a bright radiance. She would not easily believe everyone's words, but at the very least, she should at least have some information. Just based on her own hard work, it was unknown when she would be able to recover.
Speechless, Shen Hansheng wanted to say something, but he hesitated. Perhaps, at some point in time, he was willing to let Duan Mu Yan forget everything that had happened. Otherwise, how would he explain things to Duan Mu Yan?
"Since King Han has revealed the truth without any intention, Meng Yan will not force you. Meng Yan still has matters to attend to, so excuse me!" Duan Mu Yan's voice grew colder and colder, Shen Han Sheng's hesitation caused her to be on guard. If it wasn't for the fact that she had some unspeakable secrets, she wouldn't have needed to hide it from him.
"Han Sheng can only tell you that we have shared life and death together. In Han Sheng's heart, the entire world is not more important than you!" As long as you are willing, Han Sheng is willing to give up all of his power and wealth to accompany you out of this place. " At this moment, as long as Duan Mu Yan were to nod her head, Shen Hansheng would still choose to abandon her and flee far away.
"Meng Yan really wants to know. Other than you, is there no other kin in Meng Yan's world? No more friends? There is no longer anything more meaningful? " Duan Mu Yan snorted disdainfully, she knew that she wasn't a woman that valued love more than anyone else. Shen Hansheng avoided the crucial point, obviously feeling guilty in his heart.
Speechless, Shen Hansheng was rendered speechless by the question. He was unable to tell Duan Mu Yan that the person closest to her was no longer in this world, and that her friend was no longer in the Southern Yue. Noticing that Shen Hansheng was stumped again, Duan Mu Yan turned around and left without a second word.
"Mu …" While Shen Hansheng was muttering to himself, Shen Hanxin had already walked up to him.
"Mu what?" When Shen Hansheng heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He had almost revealed his identity just now. If Shen Hanxin were to find out Duan Mu Yan's true identity, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Mu Wang must have been watching from the shadows for a long time. How is it? This should be the result of you being satisfied." Shen Hansheng hid the worry in his eyes as he raised his eyebrows and asked. He had the same phoenix eyes and the same face, but what was different was that Shen Hansheng's gaze contained a domineering aura that no one could resist. On his body, there was always the majesty of a king, and on Shen Hanxin's face, there was more mystery and gentleness.
"I'm just curious, just what was Meng Yan's previous identity? Why did you hesitate just now?" Could it be that you killed their entire family and forcefully kidnapped them? " It was just a joke, yet it stirred up a thousand ripples in Shen Hansheng's heart. Even though it wasn't as serious as Shen Hanxin had said, he had indeed killed Duan Jingyang with his own hands, causing him to slump on the Dragon Couch.
"Let me warn you, if anything happens to Meng Yan, I, Shen Hansheng, will definitely make you pay an unimaginable price!" Shen Hansheng spoke coldly, the brutality in his eyes concealing his guilt.
I also warn you, whoever makes a big mistake must have some other choice. In the entire Southern Yue, you are the only one who is my opponent, I do not want you to fall early. If victory comes too easily, I am afraid I will not cherish it! Shen Hanxin shrugged, his eyes full of anger.
"Han Sheng will not disappoint you!" Shen Hansheng coldly replied, and then bypassed Shen Hanxin to leave, but heard Shen Hanxin quietly open his mouth.
"When you have time, go see second royal brother. If you don't want to end up like him, don't come look for Meng Yan again, she will only distract you. I don't want others to say that I won't win in any way, and don't worry, I won't use Meng Yan to threaten you no matter what!" Shen Hanxin spoke decisively, already having made up his mind.
Speechless, Shen Hansheng only paused for a second before he leaped up and left the Mu King's Manor.
As a prince, Shen Hanxin's betrothal gift was naturally extraordinary. The front yard of the mansion was already packed with several chests that Shen Hanxin had brought with him, leaving almost no place to rest.
