She had truly forgiven him time and time again for the sake of the Mysterious Spirit Bead. But now, she couldn't continue to forgive him like this.

If she were to be forgiven again, she would become the one who died first.

Since Xuanyuan Wentian wanted to kill her from the start, there was no longer a need for her to be merciful.

Xiao Lan quickly formulated a new plan in his heart.

In Xiao Lan's eyes, Xuanyuan Wentian could see a terrifying killing intent. Although the killing intent disappeared in an instant, it was exceptionally clear. Just like the time in the carriage, she was willing to risk her life to kill him.

Xuanyuan Yun secretly took a deep breath. This time, Xuanyuan Yun's expression was deep and his heart couldn't help but sink.

He didn't know why, but when he saw how ruthless Xiao Lan was towards him, he suddenly felt as if he was unable to breathe, and his heart felt even more stifled.

Good, very good. She also wants to kill him, then let's see if the current her has made any progress.

In that instant, Xuanyuan Wentian's originally completely retracted two fingers once again filled with the Mysterious Sky Spirit Solar Art's true energy and directly rushed towards the center of Xiao Lan's brows without dodging at all.

Xiao Lan was startled when she saw this.

If it was the past, she would have thought that Xuanyuan Wentian's actions were nothing to fear, but now, she could clearly feel the flow of his internal energy and could completely feel the terrifying True Qi that was attacking her.

However, at this moment, she was completely powerless and had no strength to dodge Xuanyuan Po's terrifying attack.

Xiao Lan helplessly watched Xuanyuan Yun's fingers coming closer and closer to her forehead. In the end, she closed her eyes as if she was making the decision to do so.

At this moment, she recalled Yannuo's warning to her not to let Xuanyuan Po touch you, because the Heaven and Earth Wake and the Mysterious Sky Spirit Yang Method were rivals, and if there was a next time, she would turn into a pool of blood and die.

He died in a pool of blood …

For a moment, the corners of Xiao Lan's mouth slowly curled up. Her expression was as though she had seen through everything, but it also seemed as if she was already fearless.

From her point of view, being eaten by others meant death, and being turned into blood meant death. In any case, death followed death, so be it.

Xiao Lan began to calmly wait for this fatal blow.

However, she waited and waited. After a long time, no pain came. Instead, she heard a buzzing sound.

It was the terrifying sound of some kind of projectile whistling through the air in the nick of time. After the hum, a man's leisurely laughter came from outside the window.

"I didn't expect that the Regent would make a move on a woman, and it's his own imperial concubine. It looks like the legend of the Nine Sparrows' wedding ceremony is fake."

With that, the man gave a polite smile.

Xiao Lan quickly opened her eyes and looked towards the source of the sound through the open wooden window.

What a handsome young master.

They saw a man dressed in elegant silk robes holding a fine black jade in his hand as he leisurely stood under the pine and cypress of Evergreen like a portrait or a scene.

He is...

Xiao Lan's eyes squinted, and she recalled that his voice …

He was the crown prince of Nanxuan, Duanmu Zimo.

Duanmu Zimo could feel Xiao Lan's gaze directly looking at Xiao Lan, then he smiled faintly without the slightest hint of unpleasantness, as if he was bathing in the warm spring wind.

Xiao Lan's originally serious eyes now revealed a shocked light.

What did this Crown Prince Nanxuan mean?

Did she know him well?

Why was he smiling at her, and even more importantly, why did he want to save her?

Xiao Lan's expression was extremely serious for a moment.

As for Xuanyuan Yun, he lightly glanced at Prince Mo and then looked at Xiao Lan. However, Xuanyuan Yun's gaze clearly stayed on Xiao Lan for a few more seconds.

When Duanmu Zimo saw that the two of them had already noticed him, he bluntly walked into the room.

When Duanmu Zimo entered the inner room, Xiao Lan discovered that an extremely beautiful woman was following behind him.

Xiao Lan wasn't puzzled as well. She immediately thought of the princess of Nanxuan, Duanmu Yan.

Xiao Lan's gaze naturally sized up Duanmu Yan's face. Indeed, a girl that could make Xuanyuan Wentian describe her as devastatingly beautiful was truly beautiful.

At this moment, Duanmu Yan also looked towards Xiao Lan, but when their gazes met, she quickly withdrew her gaze. It was obvious that although she was a princess of a country, Duanmu Yan wasn't as calm and composed as Xiao Lan.

Although the subtle actions between the two girls happened in an instant, the two men at the side saw it clearly.

For a moment, the smile on Duanmu Zimo's face became gentler as he looked at Xiao Lan, and Xuanyuan Yun once again glanced at Xiao Lan, his expression as calm as ever.

When Duanmu Zimo and Duanmu Yan had just reached the center of the inner chamber, Windy ran in, stepped into the inner chamber, and ran to a place not too far away from Xuanyuan Wentian as he respectfully greeted him with a bow.

"Prince, Prince Mo and the princess were informed that the King's Mansion's Ruyi School had properly prepared and moved here in advance, and this subordinate was unable to inform you in time, so I have been derelict in my duties."

Xuanyuan Yun turned his head to look at Ru Feng.

He wanted to report in advance as well, but the moment Prince Mo entered the manor, he actually made a beeline for the orchid garden. He did not even manage to catch up with him before he could catch up.

After a moment, Xuan Yuan slightly shifted his gaze, looking at Duanmu Zimo with a cold and tranquil expression.

"I believe Prince Mo and the princess have been tired out these past few days. It's best if they rest early. Ru Feng, escort the crown prince and princess back to the Wishing Pavilion."

"Yes." Ru Feng quickly stepped forward. "Prince Mo, please come over to the princess's side."

The intent to expel Xuanyuan Wentian had already become clear, but Prince Mo was still smiling amiably, standing in his original spot without moving at all.

"Regent, are you angry that I've stopped you from attacking your wangfei?"

Xuanyuan Guang suddenly smiled when he heard this. He raised his eyes and stared at Duanmu Zimo with a profound gaze.

"Make a move? "Where did Prince Mo see this duke attack this prince's wangfei? It's just that she's been sleeping for many days and her body is weak and unable to stand up. This prince wants to support her and that's all."

"Furthermore, this is a matter of this king's family. How could Crown Prince Mo not be concerned about this king and his wife?"

After he finished speaking, Xuanyuan Yun directly took a step forward and gently held onto Xiao Lan's hand, then smiled gently at Xiao Lan.

Facing Xuanyuan Yun's smile, Xiao Lan's body instantly trembled and every pore on her body began to contract, and goosebumps rose all over her body.

Pretending to be in love?

Fake harmony?

Xiao Lan slowly lowered his eyes and looked at Xuanyuan Wentian, firmly gripping her hand.

Hypocritical, extremely hypocritical!

One second he was going to kill her.

Xiao Lan unhesitatingly tried to pull her hand away from Xuanyuan Feng's palm, but how could she? She had such strength that she couldn't even break free with a single finger.

Seeing that he was unable to break free from Xiao Lan, he used all his strength to pull his fingernail into Xuanyuan s palm, and very quickly, a stream of warm blood flowed out from his palm.

Sensing the sticky feeling, Xiao Lan couldn't help raising his head to look at Xuanyuan. He had already bled from the injury, so why didn't he let go?

Perhaps because he had detected Xiao Lan's gaze, Xuanyuan Feng suddenly turned his head towards Xiao Lan and bent down in an unexpected manner, whispering into Xiao Lan's ear.

"This king has heard that if I merge with a woman who possesses Rebirth Gu worms, especially seeing blood on the first night, no matter who it is, their power will definitely increase greatly. Why don't we try it out tonight?"

"You!"

Xiao Lan suddenly widened her eyes as she fiercely glared at Xuanyuan Yun.

"You, vulgar!"
