Xie Beihan strode over, grabbed Ye Luan's left hand, and pulled her into his arms with a tug.
Xiao Chi Zhan was numb from the successive shocks.
He watched the woman he longed for in his heart being held by another man, his heart aching as if pricked by needles.
Good!
Very good!
The most cruel thing in this world wasn't that she had perished in the sea cave, but that she was still alive, standing before him, with another man! And treating him like a stranger!
Xie Beihan smiled sinisterly and said, "Your Highness, this is the daughter of the Censor, you must have mistaken her."
He had never seen Xiao Chi Zhan so out of control. It was magnificent!
Truly magnificent!
Xiao Chi Zhan stared intently at the familiar delicate face, his eyes flashing with ferocity.
The next second, a dark muzzle was swiftly pressed against Xie Beihan's chest, and a bloodthirsty killing intent spread through the surroundings.
"Let her go."
Even if she turned to ash, he would recognize her!
"What? Is Your Highness planning to kill this prince in Bei Qi?"
Xiao Chi Zhan sneered, his cold, pale fingers pulling the trigger.
"This king thinks you've truly lived long enough."
Xie Beihan's eyes turned cold, and he immediately dodged, drawing his saber and slashing.
The crescent moon hung high in the sky, and the Eastern Palace was engulfed in flames.
The wind blew, stirring up waves of killing intent. In the garden, figures clad in black and purple clashed fiercely, their attacks ruthless, as if aiming to take each other's lives, every move fatal.
Ye Luan watched the two streaks of afterimages, her expression unchanged.
"Meow meow--"
Xue Qiu held her skirt hem in its mouth, its wet eyes looking at her pitifully.
Ye Luan reached out, intending to pick up the little furball on the ground, but glanced at the black figure and paused, stopping her hand.
She hardened her heart, not looking at Xue Qiu, and turned to leave.
The two were fighting too fiercely to notice her departure. It was only when Xiao Xue Qiu risked its life to tug at Xiao Chi Zhan that he realized she was gone.
Xie Beihan was forced back several steps. He touched the blood at the corner of his mouth and smiled coldly.
"Xiao Chi Zhan, her head was injured when she jumped into the ice cave. She doesn't remember you."
Xiao Chi Zhan's face was sinister and cold, his eyes filled with terrifying scarlet.
"What did you say?"
"She doesn't remember you. She's fallen in love with me and is now my fiancée."
Xie Beihan's expression was chilling, accompanied by a perverted smile.
"On my joyous wedding day, I will host Your Highness as my honored guest."
As soon as he spoke, a kick was aimed at him. He eyed it coldly and dodged.
Xiao Chi Zhan's gloomy eyes were filled with bloodthirsty malevolence.
"Even if she's paralyzed, she'll only be mine."
Saying that, he bent down, picked up Xue Qiu from the ground, and was about to chase after her when he paused. He turned back, his killing intent palpable.
"Our grievances will be settled on the battlefield. If you dare to have designs on her again, this king will use the might of Da Liang to destroy Bei Qi. I mean what I say!" WΑp. kanshu伍. net
The flames in the Eastern Palace spread further, and the air was filled with the smell of burning.
When Xiao Chi Zhan found his way out, he happened to run into Li Qiong Yu, who was dressed in a flamboyant red robe.
"Where are you going?"
He had no intention of bothering with him and pushed him aside to move forward.
Li Qiong Yu raised an eyebrow, "What are you going crazy for? Isn't the fire supposed to be burning?"
Xiao Chi Zhan stopped, his expression terrifyingly dark.
"Burn!"
He wanted to destroy this Eastern Palace, to see how she would live here!
The thought of her living in the Eastern Palace these days made him want to kill!
"Your Highness."
Xue Ren hurried over.
"Miss Ye is over at Qu Yuan."
Miss Ye?
Li Qiong Yu was bewildered in the wind!
He watched the retreating figure and quickly grabbed the cold Xue Ren.
"Hey, what Miss Ye, Ye Luan?!"
Xue Ren nodded, "Yes." 看書溂
"Did I hear that right? Didn't she fall into the ice cave? She's alive, and she's here in the Eastern Palace of Bei Qi?!"
Xue Ren was held tightly by him and quickly pushed him away, "Young Master Li, you should hurry and attend to your business. This subordinate needs to protect His Highness."
"Don't! He has so many hidden guards, one less won't matter. Hurry and tell me, where is Ye Luan?"
----
Not long after Ye Luan escaped with the palace attendants, she was forcibly brought to this small garden by the Dragon Scale Guards.
It was very secluded, the fire had not spread, and it was silent.
She looked calmly at the surrounded Qu Yuan, leaning against a red pillar, silent.
When Xiao Chi Zhan found her, he saw her in a light green dress, her gracefully curved neck exposed, her figure slender, and her waist like a willow.
The bright moonlight spilled onto her fair collarbones, making her look incomparably radiant!
He stood there, gazing at her greedily, his heart seemingly stopped beating.
The wind stirred the peach blossoms in the courtyard, and the bamboo forest outside rustled.
Xiao Chi Zhan slowly put down Xue Qiu and walked over, reaching out to gently embrace her fragrant body from behind.
"Luan Luan."
A living person, no longer a cold jade sculpture.
His chest pounded, and his arms holding her trembled.
He missed her, he truly missed her!
The days without her felt like years.
Ye Luan lowered her head, a strand of hair sliding down her fair cheek. She seemed lost in thought.
Xiao Chi Zhan gently tucked the strand of hair behind her ear, turned her body to face him, his voice slightly trembling.
"Luan Luan."
Ye Luan looked up and said in a faint voice, 'Let go of me, I really don't know you.' 看書喇
The cool spring light spread across their faces.
Her clear, transparent eyes held a chilling unfamiliarity.
"Her head was injured when she fell into the ice cave, and she doesn't remember you."
Recalling Xie Beihan's words, Xiao Chi Zhan's slightly dazed eyes narrowed, and a glint shot out from his crimson pupils.
His gaze was like a fierce beast on the prairie, dangerous, and the light emanating from it was unfathomable.
Ye Luan's expression remained unchanged, and she looked at him coldly.
They were very close. If she moved even slightly, her red lips would brush against his prominent Adam's apple, so she had to step back.
Suddenly, his arm tightened, encircling her waist and pressing her into his embrace. A hint of tenderness bloomed in his eyes, and his fingers came up to stroke her dark hair, his voice gentle.
"It's okay if you don't remember me, let's start again!"
Ye Luan was stunned and hadn't said anything yet.
His slightly cool lips brushed across her forehead, nuzzled her cheek, and his voice was hoarse.
"I am your husband, Xiao Chi Zhan!"
As he spoke, he leaned down and pressed his lips against hers, devouring that soft expanse.
In that instant, Ye Luan's mind exploded, leaving it blank.
She wanted to struggle, but he immediately caught her hands. The heat in his palm made her entire body feel as if it were burning.
Xiao Chi Zhan hadn't intended to, he just wanted to kiss her.
But he couldn't control himself. The moment he kissed her, the bone-deep craving began to surge, and he felt as if he were burning, instinctively wanting more, much more.
"Good girl, open your mouth."
