Chapter 131: You Are Only Responsible for Being Beautiful as a Flower!

Baili Jinchuan rushed into the tent too quickly so that there were only a few guards following behind him. When they saw the scene in front of them, they were all stunned. For a moment, they didn’t know how to react.

Chu Junyi’s eyes turned cold. He flicked his wrist and used a hidden weapon to hit the guard’s wrist who was lifting the curtain at the door. The curtain of the tent instantly dropped off to prevent the people outside from entering the tent.

Someone at the door immediately asked, “Your Highness, what happened? Is there something wrong?”

“It’s fine. There are too many vipers inside. All of you wait at the door to protect the others. Don’t come in.” Baili Jinchuan struggled to suppress the anger in his heart. His eyes shined with ferocious coldness, and he wished he could kill Chu Junyi on the spot.

Chu Junyi hugged Shen Ninghua in his arms and did not let her go. Instead, he faced Baili Jinchuan head-on. The collision of their auras was so powerful that it caused uncontrollable panic in the hearts of the others in the tent.

Shen Ninghua exerted a little strength and withdrew from Chu Junyi’s embrace. She turned to look at Baili Jinchuan and said, “Your Highness.”

Baili Jinchuan shifted his gaze to her and gritted his teeth. “Shen Ninghua, have you declined to accept my love because of this man?”

“So what?” Shen Ninghua’s expression was calm, and she completely ignored Baili Jinchuan’s rage.

Hearing this, Chu Junyi was delighted. The wonderful feel of Shen Ninghua’s skin still lingered on his lips. He couldn’t help but look at her more gently and dotingly.

Baili Jinchuan suddenly lost his rationality. He took a long sword from the guard’s hand and shook off the vipers in front of him. He strode in front of Shen Ninghua and placed the sword on Chu Junyi’s neck. “You rejected me time and again for this pretty toy boy who only knows how to play tricks and show off talent?”

Chu Junyi lowered his head and looked at the sword that was against his neck. He did not immediately flip it away, but turned around to wait for Shen Ninghua’s reaction.

Shen Ninghua’s expression became even colder. “I remember telling you that even if there weren’t anyone else, I wouldn’t agree to marry you.”

Baili Jinchuan’s fists creaked. “In which aspect am I inferior to him? Power, status, or the passion for you? Shen Ninghua, I love you wholeheartedly. What else are you not satisfied with?”

Shen Ninghua smiled coldly. “Your Highness, you say that you love me wholeheartedly. Alright, I want to ask you. If I hadn’t recovered my appearance, and instead looked like a ball of charcoal, would you love me?”

“I will!”

“You won’t! You will try your best to make use of my talent when you see it, but you definitely won’t be as attached to me as you are now!”

“This assumption doesn’t count at all. The moment I saw you, you had regained your appearance. How can you be sure that I won’t fall in love with the other you who has a plain look?” Baili Jinchuan glared at Shen Ninghua and roared in a low voice.

Shen Ninghua smiled and said, “Alright, this assumption doesn’t count. Then let me ask you another question. You keep saying that you love me wholeheartedly, but you used Madam Zhou’s death to pressure me and even try to ruin my reputation to achieve your goal. What do you say about this?”

“I’ve already explained it. It was because I wasn’t thoughtful at that time. I have already apologized to you. Why are you still obsessed with it?” Baili Jinchuan was impatient.

Shen Ninghua looked at him coldly and said firmly, “That’s why I won’t choose you. In your heart, if you like me, I can’t refuse. You only treat me as a trophy. What you are chasing is the pleasure of conquering, not me, Shen Ninghua! If you really like me, you wouldn’t speak to me in such an impatient tone!”

Baili Jinchuan choked. “I was just speaking without thinking.”

“The more common the occasion is, the more you can see a person’s real character. You have never placed me on the same high position as you. How can you give me the feelings I want?” Shen Ninghua turned her head, unwilling to see his expression.

With a slight movement, the tooth marks bitten by Chu Junyi on her neck were exposed to Baili Jinchuan’s eyes!

“You…” Baili Jinchuan’s eyes burned with fury. “No matter whatever you say is just an excuse. You are having an affair with this man!” As he spoke, he felt a wave of shame that resulted from being betrayed surged in his heart. He suddenly stretched out his hand and pinched Shen Ninghua’s neck.

“I treat you so well. You actually have an affair with another man behind me. You…deserve to die!”

Chu Junyi’s expression changed abruptly. His index and middle fingers abruptly clamped onto the sword at his neck. With a bang, the sword was broken into halves. Then, he grabbed the half-broken sword and slashed it down towards Baili Jinchuan’s arm which was pinching Shen Ninghua’s neck!

The sound of the sharp blade piercing into the flesh caused one’s heart to tremble in fear, and the intense pain made Baili Jinchuan suddenly restore his senses. His cold and gloomy gaze landed on Chu Junyi. Then he tightly gripped the other half sword blade in his hand and stabbed it towards Chu Junyi’s chest!

His aura was so powerful, and the half sword in his hand was like a flood dragon, flickering with a cold light as it flew towards Chu Junyi’s chest like lightning!

A trace of violence flashed through Chu Junyi’s eyes. He slightly twisted his body and dodged to avoid his vital part from the strike. Then, he allowed the broken sword to pierce into his shoulder. Blood instantly flowed out like a gush!

“Chu Junyi!” Shen Ninghua was shocked. She did not expect that Chu Junyi would not dodge at all. “Are you stupid? Why didn’t you dodge?”

Chu Junyi did not care about the wound in his chest at all. He flipped his hand over and slapped Baili Jinchuan in the chest.

Seeing Baili Jinchuan being hit away flying, the dumbfounded guards at the door immediately raised the spears in their hands and were about to charge towards Chu Junyi. Just as they were about to move, they all felt a pain in the back of their necks and immediately became unconscious.

Qing Que knocked all the guards unconscious and leapt back to bed.

Shen Ninghua supported Chu Junyi, pulled the quilt from the bed, and tore off the cloth to bandage his wound.

Chu Junyi stopped her. “Ninghua, there’s no need for the bandage. Let’s hurry up and leave now.”

“You could dodge the sword. Why didn’t you?” Shen Ninghua was filled with anger. He once criticized her for not caring about her own health, but what was he doing now?

Chu Junyi smiled and hugged Shen Ninghua’s shoulder to support himself. “Do you understand how I felt when I saw you surrounded by snakes?”

Shen Ninghua frowned and was about to get angry.

Chu Junyi hurriedly explained, “I am a man, so it is only natural for me to do these things. As a lady, you only need to be responsible for being as beautiful as a flower and I will protect you against all dangers.”

“You…” Shen Ninghua’s heart unconsciously tightened. She didn’t know how to express the feelings that she had never felt before.

Chu Junyi smiled. “Although I want to marry you, I will not use the method of destroying your reputation to achieve my goal. Baili Jinchuan saw our actions. If he insisted on pestering us, we would definitely fall in a passive position. Therefore, I must get wounded by receiving his strike!”

“Even if you are injured, wouldn’t he still be able to find trouble with us?”

Chu Junyi covered his chest and jumped off the bed. He picked out a red-patterned flat-headed viper from the group of snakes. “This snake is called the Scarlet Ring Snake. People bitten by it will hallucinate.”

Shen Ninghua immediately understood him. “You meant the Second Prince hallucinated after being bitten by the snake. He mistook us for having an affair and stabbed you with his sword. He also hurt himself.”

Shen Ninghua was now having a complicated mood. When Baili Jinchuan saw her embraced by Chu Junyi, she instantly thought of the consequences. She also faintly had a countermeasure in her heart. That was to marry Chu Junyi afterwards to silence the rumors. However, she didn’t expect him to use such a method to protect her reputation…

“That’s right!”

After Chu Junyi had the snake bite Baili Jinchuan, he pulled out the half-cut sword from Baili Jinchuan’s hand and stabbed the fallen guards on the ground. “These guards tried to prevent the Second Prince from harming himself, but they were killed by the Second Prince instead.”

Shen Ninghua nodded, signaling Bai Ruo to speak.

Bai Ruo nodded and screamed, “Help, the Second Prince has gone mad!”

Hearing this scream, the guards waiting at the entrance of the tent hurriedly rushed in, and they were instantly scared out their wits by what they saw.

The ground was filled with guards who lay here and there with no sign of life or death. The Second Prince was also lying on the ground covered in blood. Lord Chu, who had just been promoted, had a half-broken sword in his chest and lay beside Prefectural Princess Zhaohua.

“Your Highness, what…what’s going on?”

Shen Ninghua raised her head and said with a pale face, “Forget about it for the time being. Carry the Second Prince and Lord Chu out and find the imperial doctors!”

“Ah, yes!”

Seeing Chu Junyi being carried out with blood all over his body, Xiao Huanxi cried out in alarm and hurriedly pounced over. “Brother Junyi!”

Shen Ninghua’s eyes were cold as she raised her hand to block Xiao Huanxi. “Don’t touch him. Step down!”

Xiao Huanxi suddenly raised her head, and her eyes were filled with hatred. “What happened to Brother Junyi? What did you do to him? Don’t stop me. I want to see him!”

Shen Ninghua ran out of patience and raised her hand to slap her in the face. “Do you want to kill Chu Junyi? What’s the point of arguing at this time?”

Xiao Huanxi was stunned by the slap. She covered her face and didn’t know how to respond.

Shen Ninghua didn’t have time to talk to her. “Where are the imperial doctors?”

“Your Highness, we are here.”

“The Second Prince was bitten by the Scarlet Ring Snake. Send someone to find the antidote. Lord Chu was injured when the Second Prince went crazy. Quickly find a tent to stop his bleeding and treat him.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

Shen Ninghua turned around and looked at the surrounding guards. “Most of the vipers gathered at the edge of my tent. Use torches to drive the other snakes towards my tent. We will retreat and evacuate from the area where the vipers are. By the way, where are the Fifth Prince and the Sixth Prince of the Great Yue Kingdom?”

Baili Jinze and Bu Jinglan? Everyone was dumbfounded. It was only now that they realized that they hadn’t seen the two of them.

Shen Ninghua frowned. “Half of the guards stay here to drive away the vipers. The others go and look for the two princes!”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

With Shen Ninghua’s order, everyone hurriedly moved, and for a moment, things seemed to be in an orderly manner.

Just as they retreated while driving the vipers away, a guard suddenly exclaimed.

“I found them. The Fifth Prince and the Sixth Prince of the Great Yue Kingdom are both here!”

Shen Ninghua turned around. The two of them had been bitten by some kind of snake and were in a coma. At this time, there was no time to explore the reason why the two of them fainted together. “Carry them and retreat!”

After four hours, they left the area occupied by the vipers and all collapsed to the ground.

Shen Ninghua turned around and looked around. It was night and they did not have time to notice the route of their retreat. Now they were surrounded by forests, and they were unable to discern the direction.
