Chapter 1278 Blood Debts Must Be Paid With Blood
"Scram!" Feng Yexuan's face darkened. He grabbed Chu Qianli's wrist and pushed her away.
Caught off guard, Chu Qianli lost her balance and, before she could react, was pushed by him, landing with a thud on the ground.
A sharp pain shot through her backside. The small stones on the ground were incredibly uncomfortable!
She glared at Feng Yexuan.
Feng Yexuan sat up and pulled his clothes together. He stared at the woman before him, as drenched as he was, his eyes filled with anger.
"Who allowed you to touch this King!"
"You were unconscious. I was just saving you, not what you think."
However, Chu Qianli also knew that this man had a notoriously volatile temper. Once he made up his mind, it was difficult to change his thoughts.
As expected, Feng Yexuan didn't believe her.
"Save this King? Why were you fumbling all over this King's chest?" Feng Yexuan snorted coldly, his face like frost.
He stood up and shook off the water.
Water droplets were still dripping, indicating they hadn't been on shore for long.
However, he did seem to have fainted in the water earlier.
"Remember now? If it weren't for me, Prince Xuan would have become a water ghost tonight." Chu Qianli smiled calmly.
There was no sarcasm in her tone, but she was stating a fact.
Feng Yexuan snorted, somewhat annoyed that he had been saved by this "shameless woman"!
"This King owes you a favor, and I will repay it another day. But if you dare to disrespect this King again, I will not let you off lightly!"
Chu Qianli let out a breath. She wanted to say something, but in the end, she bit her lip and remained silent.
It was good that he was alive and well. At least, there shouldn't be any problems for now.
As for other issues...
A flicker of something crossed Chu Qianli's eyes. She stood up, no longer looking at him, and slowly walked back to the riverbank.
"Don't go any further!" Feng Yexuan strode forward and stood beside her.
He had the air of someone who would slap her back if she dared to take another step forward.
"I wasn't planning to go down, I just found something down there."
Feng Yexuan was slightly taken aback: "Found what?"
However, this "shameless woman" was different from how he knew her, appearing quite docile?
Chu Qianli was indeed a bit more docile, not arguing or throwing tantrums.
She took out some items from the Qiankun Chain, which she had found underwater earlier.
"What is this?" Feng Yexuan's brows furrowed slightly. He picked it up, sniffed it, and his eyes instantly became serious: "It's gunpowder!"
"So, this is your era's gunpowder?"
"It's the mixture of saltpeter and sulfur left behind after the gunpowder exploded."
"Your era also has sulfur?" Chu Qianli was somewhat surprised. It seemed she was still not familiar enough with this era.
Feng Yexuan merely glanced at her indifferently and said nothing more.
Indeed, his headache was gone, and he had reverted to being the aloof, arrogant, and self-important Prince Xuan.
However, Chu Qianli's gaze towards him now held no resentment.
"So, this city moat was indeed blown open by someone."
Her hand, which hung by her side, gradually clenched.
She clenched it so tightly that her sharp fingernails dug into the flesh of her palm.
These damned bastards!
How many innocent people had they killed for power?
Along the way, there were corpses everywhere. An entire village had vanished without a trace!
She couldn't let these people go!
She had to make them pay for their blood debts! She had to make them pay the price!
