Yun Xiao was speechless and said nothing more. The point was that she had saved Yan Yu, which was already her limit. There was no need to do anything more for him. What kind of relationship did they have?
Yan Yu glanced at Yun Xiao. Seeing that the woman said nothing, it was clear that this place had long become Murong Chong's territory. He could only say with a cold face and overflowing chill.
"What do you want to talk about?"
"You have internal and external injuries. To recover, you will need at least a month of rest. I can find a place for you to recuperate quietly, but you owe me a favor, which I will collect from you in the future."
Murong Chong's expression was indifferent, elegant, and gentle. As he lowered his head, his eyes glittered, but when he looked up again, his dark eyes were like cold stars, as deep as an ice pool, with sparks flying. It seemed that if Yan Yu did not agree, he would immediately drive him away.
Prince Yan Yu of Bei, on his handsome and elegant features, the paleness suddenly turned dark and bruised.
Was it true that a fallen tiger was bullied by dogs? Even though the Shenlong Palace was very powerful, he was still the dignified Crown Prince of Bei Chao, and he was actually being threatened by this man.
Moreover, this man looked completely justified. One should know that he already owed Yun Xiao a favor and would have to repay it in the future.
Did he have a reason to owe another person a favor? And this person clearly wasn't a good person.
He was a killer, bloodthirsty and demonic.
He really didn't know why Yun Xiao would like such a person.
Moreover, anyone with eyes could see that this man wasn't genuinely trying to help him. He was just finding a plausible excuse to prevent other men from being around Yun Xiao, and he even made him owe him a favor. He was indeed cunning and insidious, but Yan Yu wouldn't fall for it.
"You're dreaming. I'll recuperate here in the medical clinic and won't go anywhere."
"How dare you."
Murong Chong's face suddenly changed. He was cold, solitary, arrogant, and domineering. His dark, sinister eyes were instantly filled with murderous intent. He absolutely would not allow this man to stay by Xiao'er's side.
Firstly, it was to eliminate anyone who posed a threat to him, but more importantly, because this man was injured, those in the shadows might find this place and implicate Xiao'er. He absolutely would not allow such a thing to happen.
He had only two paths to choose from.
"You can choose: one, leave here immediately; two, come with me. Staying here is out of the question."
Yan Yu completely ignored the man's dark, bloodthirsty eyes and only looked at Yun Xiao, saying in a deep voice, "I want to stay here."
Yun Xiao's pure and ethereal little face was covered with frost. She slightly frowned in thought and finally agreed with Murong Chong's words.
Since that Prince Xin could assassinate him, he might find the medical clinic. Therefore, for his safety, he should go with Murong. Murong had a way to prevent anyone from finding him.
Since she had saved him, she was waiting to collect a favor. How could she let him die?
"Crown Prince Yan, you should still go with him, because I cannot guarantee that those people won't find you. They might very well find this place, and then you might not be able to hide. However, Murong can do it. Only by surviving this tribulation can you have the chance to return to Bei Yan. Now is not the time for impulsive actions."
A large part of the reason why Yan Yu did not want to go with Murong stemmed from the man's subconscious sense of territoriality, the competitive spirit of "two tigers cannot share one mountain."
However, after Yun Xiao's calm and unhurried explanation, Crown Prince Yan Yu of Bei fell into deep thought with a cold face. The current situation was indeed like this. Although Murong Chong had ulterior motives and did not want him to approach Yun Xiao,
it was indeed safer for him to go with him, and it would also ensure Yun Xiao's safety.
Yan Yu's eyes were dark and cold. He was leaving not because he truly wanted to go with this man, but because he didn't want the person who saved him to be in danger again, and also to incur another favor from him. It was truly stifling.
"Good."
Yan Yu responded in a deep voice.
Murong Chong smirked with satisfaction and ordered Zhuifeng, "Immediately take people to make arrangements. Be sure not to let any wind leak."
"Yes, Master."
Zhuifeng responded, snapped his fingers towards the outside, and two subordinates walked in. Those two walked in expressionlessly, as if indifferent to the scene before them, only bowing their heads and waiting for orders. Zhuifeng said, "Take this person away."
"Yes." The two stepped forward, one on each side, and helped Yan Yu down from the couch, walking out.
Moonlight streamed down from the sky, illuminating Yan Yu's handsome features. His eyes were bright and exceptionally charming. He spoke slowly, "If there is ever a time when Yan Yu's help is needed, you can send people to Bei Chao."
His tone was extremely arrogant, completely unconcerned by the current situation. He was determined to return to Bei Chao and would become the Emperor of Bei Chao.
As the group left, the flower hall became quiet. Wanwan retracted her gaze from outside the door, glanced at the scene before her, smiled, and quietly withdrew.
Murong Chong picked up Yun Xiao and went upstairs.
The thudding footsteps were steady and powerful. Yun Xiao clung to his neck and said with annoyance, "Let me down. I'm fine."
This man was truly a jealous person. Although it was to save Yan Yu, in his heart, he still wanted to get rid of the other person and even made Yan Yu owe him another favor.
He would be the Emperor of Dong Qin in the future, and Crown Prince Yan Yu of Bei would be the Emperor of Bei Chao. At that time, he could use this condition to propose a non-aggression treaty with Yan Yu, allowing him to consolidate Dong Qin in a short period.
"No."
Murong Chong completely ignored her and carried her upstairs with large strides, heading straight for the bedroom.
Yun Xiao was too lazy to argue with him, and she was indeed unable to do these things. She might as well let him have his way.
In the dark night, Murong didn't say much or do much. He just held her and rested quietly.
The next day, when Yun Xiao woke up, he was long gone. He only left a note on the table.
'Xiao'er, be good and eat your meals. If I find out you're overthinking again, I will punish you.'
Upon seeing the last sentence, Yun Xiao's face flushed instantly. This was because most of his punishments involved intense kissing, hugging, and biting, which were truly unspeakable. Yet, Wanwan still curiously asked, "Master, what does it say?"
"It's nothing, just telling me to eat more."
Wanwan didn't believe it at all. If it was just about eating more, why would her master's face turn red? Even if she didn't say it, she could guess that it must be some sweet words.
Thinking of Murong Chong, she increasingly felt that he was very suited to her master. Although the world spread that he was cold, bloodthirsty, and a killer, in fact, they had never seen him kill indiscriminately. On the contrary, he loved her master dearly, not only getting nosebleeds but also writing sweet words.
Her master was so happy now.
Wanwan suddenly felt a little melancholic. Where was her own happiness? There wasn't even a shadow of it.
The two women had their own thoughts, and the small building was exceptionally quiet.
Because Yun Xiao's health was not very good, she stayed in her room to recuperate, eating and sleeping diligently. After two or three days, her body had recovered wonderfully.
However, Murong did not come again during these two or three days, and Yun Xiao enjoyed a rare few days of leisure.
