The Proud Prince and the Arrogant Princess

As he saw Xue Ruyun's head continuously raise up, closing his eyes, and in the instant that Wei Duhong went up and kissed him, he suddenly laughed loudly, "Hahaha, hahaha, you've won."

Wei Duohong turned around and took a few steps back before sitting down. He was purposefully testing out Xue Ruyun just now.

Xue Ruyun's heart that was hanging in the air was finally relieved. She let out a sigh of relief, and put away the powerful cultivation technique that she had been using. Her heart was still pounding.

"What, I guessed it right. You don't dare to?" Xue Luoyun also sat down at the table, poured a cup of tea, and took a sip to ease his mood.

"What a strange woman you are." He stared at her.

"You're also a good king." Xue Ruyun respectfully replied to him.

"Actually, I was testing you just now and knew that you wanted to use your energy to injure me. Actually, this tea is my true purpose." Wei Duohong had an evil smile on his face as he waved his fan at Xue Ruoyun. He couldn't help but feel proud of himself.

"What?" Xue Luoyun looked at her with wide eyes.

"There's aphrodisiac in this tea..." Wei Duohong burst into laughter, his face full of lust.

When Xue Ruyun heard this, he drank half a cup of tea and sprayed it all over Wei Duohong's face.

"Oh, you. Dirty. " Wei Duohong wiped his face with his sleeve in disgust.

"You despicable scumbag!" Xue Ruyun hatefully looked at him, then quickly circulated his Qi in an attempt to force the tea out of his mouth.

"Puchi." When Wei Duohong saw her like this, she immediately burst out laughing.

"I lied to you. "Fool!" Wei Duohong was laughing so hard that his stomach hurt, and he couldn't even straighten his back.

"You!" Xue Ruyun pointed at him, so angry that he couldn't speak. She clenched her fists and wanted to go berserk. However, after giving it some serious thought, he still couldn't help but laugh.

Today was truly too interesting. This Wei Duohong was unfathomable, unpredictable, and truly an expert. Xue Luoyun was filled with admiration. However, seeing how he was smiling, he didn't seem like a bad person.

"Alright, now that I've finished visiting your room, I'll go back." After sitting there for a while, seeing that Wei Duhong was fine and was purely joking with her, he stood up and was about to take his leave.

"Alright, then go to sleep early. And don't drink tea. " Wei Duohong raised his eyebrows as he mocked Xue Ruyun.

"Hmph." Xue Ruyun turned around and walked out.

"Miss, are you alright?" Yun Zhi had been standing guard outside the door the entire time, and when she saw that Xue Ruoyun had come out, she quickly went to greet him.

"Don't worry, anything will happen to me." Xue Luoyun waved his hand.

"I thought you were drunk just now and entered the King's room. You worried me to death." As Yun Zhi thought about what had just happened, she became extremely worried.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Xue Ruyun smiled, knowing what Yun Zhi was worried about.

"That's good, that's good." Yun Zhi couldn't help but nod her head. Ye Zichen returned to his room with a relieved expression.

A smile appeared on her face as he watched their retreating backs through the window. His face still had the tea that Xue Ruoyun had just sprayed on it. He hurriedly took out his silk handkerchief, causing the snow-white silk handkerchief to be covered in brown. He shook his head, let his hair down, and went inside to bathe and change.

Xue Duan Sheng and his family travelled day and night on the boat, and continuously travelled for two to three days. Only after seeing no one catching up did they feel at ease.

"We finally made it out." Mrs Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, afraid that the unblinking group of pirates would go back on their word and chase after them. After travelling for so long, he had finally bypassed Pirates' Island. The rest of his journey was relatively safe, so he could be at ease.

Xue Duan Sheng stood at the bow of the vessel, feeling dejected and speechless. A group of people in the cabin were celebrating the survival of their family.

"You don't know, when that pirate caught me, fortunately, I resisted with all my might and used my fist to beat him with it before he let go." Remembering the scene back then, Xue Lian had praised himself as if he had relied on himself to escape. He had completely forgotten about Xue Muyun.

"Sister, you are too brave." Xue Shaoli covered his mouth as he laughed, but the servants with conscience could see through him. It was obviously the young miss who had risked her life to save them.

Now that she had fallen into the tiger's den, it was unknown whether she was dead or alive. These people were not only ungrateful and wanted to save the Miss, but they also laughed and talked without craving for anything. They didn't even have the face to say that they were relying on themselves. The servants secretly despised these people.

Unlike Xue Lian and the other two, Xue Duan Sheng was always silent. Standing on the bow of the ship, his heart was heavy. He would often look back, hoping that a miracle would happen and Xue Ruoyun would catch up. However, she was always disappointed and didn't know how she was doing.

When Madame Zhao saw his appearance, she knew he was worried about Xue Luoyun. "Old master, don't worry. That girl is fine." Madame Zhao lightly comforted Xue Duan Sheng. Although she said it in such a manner, in her heart, she believed that Xue Ruoyun would absolutely not be able to come back.

When she thought about how fierce Lu Yida was, and how he killed without blinking an eye, Xue Ruoyun must have been in extreme danger. However, this was exactly what Mrs Zhao wanted, so she couldn't allow Xue Ruoyun to die early. When Mrs Zhao thought of this, she could not help but smile.

"I didn't expect that the heavens would really help me this time." For so many years, née Zhao and her two daughters had tried everything they could, but they couldn't touch a single hair on Xue Ruoyun's body. Now, however, they were greatly aided by the pirates.

"That pirate Lin Que Yi seems to have some humanity in him. He appreciates Lin Yun a lot, so he shouldn't be harming her for now, right?" Xue Duan Sheng was very accurate in his judgement. This pirate was extremely interested in Xue Ruoyun, so he should be able to kill him within a short period of time. However, this was just a wishful thinking on his part. The pirates were naturally temperamental, so who could have guessed it?

"Yeah, yeah." Mrs Zhao agreed. However, he was thinking behind his back that perhaps Xue Luoyun's innocence had already been taken away by the leader of the pirates. He deserved it. This time, even if she were to live a lowly life, her reputation would be tarnished and she would be despised by others for the rest of her life. Madame Zhao was so happy that she was about to fly to the skies when she thought of the consequences that had befallen Xue Luoyun.

"This won't do. I have to properly spread this matter. I have to destroy her innocence and make her despised by the world." Mrs Zhao thought in her heart as an incomparably sinister light flashed in her eyes.

Mrs Zhao made a decision in her heart. She thought of an excuse and prepared to go ashore. When she saw someone, she said that Xue Muyun had been robbed and his innocence taken away by that pirate.

In the courtyard of the Rain Pavilion, Mu Ying was sitting by himself, reading a book quietly. The side of his face looked sharp and sharp, smooth as jade, elegant and graceful, peerless in the world.

He looked at it for a moment, then frowned. Looking at the displeasure on his face, it was hard to tell how many girls felt heartache.

Actually, Mu Sheng's thoughts were interrupted by someone. The person who interrupted him was none other than that arrogant Xue Ruyun. Seeing the words "Northern family, unique and independent," he could not help but think of a certain someone, so he stopped thinking.

He put down the book and took out a jade hairpin from his bosom. This was the remains of the mother of Xue Ruyun, who had been swapped for a bun.

Along the way, he continuously sent out quite a few hidden guards to take turns protecting Xue Ruyun in secret. He wanted to pass on her journey to Mu Ying, but he couldn't let anyone know.

That day, when he heard that Xue Ruoyun and the others had exhausted all their resources, in order to deal with the mess that Xue Lian and the others had left behind, he had no choice but to take out his mother's things and change them. This Xue Lian and the others were truly despicable. Mu Ying wished he could dismember their bodies into ten thousand pieces.

It was said that Xue Ruyun was extremely pained at that time, and was extremely reluctant to part with it. Mu Sheng immediately sent a message to the guard on the other side to bring the jade hairpin over.

Thus, after Xue Luoyun and the others left, a dark and cold shadow guard with heavy killing intent walked into the steamed bun shop. After the shop owner had obtained the jade hairpin, he had no intention of selling it. He hung the sign for closing time, sat down, wiped his hands, and took out the jade hairpin carefully to examine it.

Sensing a black shadow blocking his way, the boss raised his head and saw a tall and burly masked man appear before his eyes. He was dressed in black and his eyes were filled with killing intent.

Before he could react, the longsword in the dark guard's hand pressed against his neck. The shop owner was so scared that his legs went limp. He quickly kneeled on the ground and asked, "My lord, please spare my life. What is the matter?"

"I saw that man pull out his sword. It was extremely cold." The boss of the bun house was so scared that his entire body turned cold.

"Nothing much, I just wanted to ask you to hand over the jade hairpin." The man's face was gloomy and his fingers rested on the jade hairpin held by the shop owner.

"T-that's out of the question. I only got the bun after selling it." The shop owner gathered up his courage and hugged the jade hairpin tightly.

"Nonsense, how much can a steamed bun sell for?" This jade hairpin is priceless. Even if you sell it, you wouldn't be able to get a single piece of it. It must be you who took the opportunity to make things difficult for others in order to obtain this jade hairpin. " The man's voice was low as he questioned the boss.

"I, I didn't." The boss still wanted to quibble.

"Hmph, you still want to quibble, but you don't know that this person is my friend." "Since you dare to extort this grandpa's friend, I'll trade your life for mine right now." The man raised his sword.

"This little one knows my wrongs, this little one knows my wrongs, and this little one doesn't dare to do that again. Return the original jade hairpin." In order to preserve his life, the boss of the bun house kowtowed again and again and offered the jade hairpin with both hands.

"You don't want it?"

"I don't want it, I don't want it. I just want your life." The boss shook his head. Compared to this ill-gotten fortune, he valued his life more. Even if he saved his life, he could still sell buns.

The man took the hairpin and placed a gold ingot on the table, "I won't let you lose out. Then, take this gold ingot. It's enough for you to sell buns for dozens of years."

"Alright, thank you sir, thank you uncle." The boss of the bun house was overjoyed. His eyes were blinded by the golden light as he continuously kowtowed. Although this ingot of gold was far from comparable to the jade hairpin, it was still enough for the rest of his life. Furthermore, this jade hairpin was too valuable. It was a good thing that he had changed it to gold, since he was worried that the thieves would miss it and put their lives in danger.

"Thank you grandpa, thank you grandpa." The boss of the bun house kowtowed for a while. When he heard no sound, he carefully raised his head and saw that the man in black had already disappeared. He put the gold in his bosom and ran away as if he was escaping. After that, he would probably have to move to his home and leave this place.
