Fighting violence with violence

A white afterimage suddenly flashed behind Mu Yuyan, raised a foot, and kicked straight at her backside.

The brutal, arrogant kick struck Mu Yuyan squarely in the backside, with a force that was a special kind of excruciating.

"Ah-!"

How could Mu Yuyan have expected Mu Yunxi, who had been in front of her, to suddenly appear behind her and give her backside a vicious kick? With a cry of surprise, her entire body fell into the lake with a splash!

With a loud splash, Mu Yuyan swallowed two mouthfuls of water before managing to stand up, her face flushed red and turning blue and purple with rage.

The water where Mu Yuyan had fallen was shallow, only reaching her waist when she stood. Looking at Mu Yuyan, whose soaking clothes clung to her body and left her charms exposed, Mu Yunxi laughed.

"Oh my, what a big drowned rat! Tsk, tsk, quite the figure!"

Mu Yunxi's lovely, faintly smiling face was full of cold mockery as she looked at Mu Yuyan's face, angry and furious, hateful and pitiful.

What did it mean to repay someone in their own coin?

The sisters Mu Yuyan and Mu Luoyan tripped her up every other day. Did they really think she, Mu Yunxi, was easy to bully? If they annoyed her, she would simply beat them up.

Mu Yunxi had always liked fighting violence with violence!

"Ninth Sister, you-you! Fourth Prince, you must uphold justice for me!"

Upon hearing Mu Yunxi's words, Mu Yuyan was in no hurry to cover her exposed charms. Instead, she looked at Xuanyuan Jin with a face full of grievance, her pitiful appearance enough to make anyone's heart ache.

Mu Yunxi stood coldly to one side, a faint, mocking curve on her lips.

Sure enough, the sight of the aggrieved beauty made Xuanyuan Jin's expression grow even darker and angrier.

Mu Yunxi actually dared to act so outrageously right before him. She truly recognized neither law nor heaven.

"Enough, Mu Yunxi! You've played hard to get long enough. I advise you to know when to stop!"

Hearing Xuanyuan Jin's words, Mu Yunxi could not help a look of contempt rising on her cold, delicate face.

"Fourth Prince, you think far too highly of yourself. With that paralyzed face of yours, not to mention the fact that you're impotent, what exactly do you think would make me play hard to get with you?"

"You... Mu Yunxi, you know the truth perfectly well. But you have indeed caught my attention. You win. I came this time to take back what I said before. Our engagement stands, so you no longer need to play hard to get with me!"

Xuanyuan Jin recalled his imperial father's words. He had rejected the idea inwardly before, but after witnessing this woman's ruthlessness, his feelings had grown somewhat more complicated.

"What?"

Hearing Xuanyuan Jin's words, Mu Yunxi practically wanted to curse his mother.

Fuck, what was going on? The engagement stood?

"Mu Yunxi, you're still playing dumb? You must be beside yourself with joy. You've gotten your wish. I'll marry you and make you my secondary consort!"

Xuanyuan Jin's gaze darkened further as he watched Mu Yunxi playing dumb like this.

But to Mu Yuyan, who was still standing in the lake shivering with cold, those words brought nothing but jealous hatred.

Why? Why could that bitch Mu Yunxi still become the Fourth Prince's secondary consort?

"Xuanyuan Jin, are you fucking delusional? When was I ever happy to marry you? Even if you gave me a dozen men like you, I wouldn't spare them a glance!"

Secondary consort? She, Mu Yunxi, wouldn't even care to be empress. Where exactly did Xuanyuan Jin get the confidence to think she wanted to marry him?

At that moment, not only was Mu Yunxi angry, but Jun Ling, who was concealed in the shadows and stealing occasional peeks at his little thing, was angry too.

His woman-and this damned piece of trash dared lay a finger on her.

Sensing the anger and dangerous aura radiating from their master, Mo Yan and Mo Li behind him hurriedly took a step back of their own accord.

"Mo Yan, Mo Li, beat him up!"

The ruthless, bloodthirsty voice rang out, chilling and demonic, like the voice of an asura from hell.

"Huh? Beat him up? May I ask how you want us to beat him, Master?" Mo Yan asked.

"Leave him bedridden for a few months!"

"Master, he is a prince, after all. Wouldn't leaving him bedridden for a few months be a bit inappropriate?"

Mo Yan felt deeply conflicted. Leaving him bedridden for a few months meant having them beat this Fourth Prince within an inch of his life, didn't it?

His master must be jealous, and not just a little jealous, either. Poor little piece of trash. Rather than take the road to life, he insisted on hopping down the road to death!

Now he had capsized in a gutter, hadn't he? Fighting their master for a woman was simply courting death!

"If I say it's appropriate, it's appropriate!"

Jun Ling swept his dangerous gaze coldly over him. That arrogant, domineering air of looking down on all things made Mo Yan's slight frame tremble, and he immediately dragged Mo Li away in headlong flight.

Jun Ling turned his gaze back below, staring coldly at Mu Yunxi, his eyes full of danger. If this woman dared utter a word of agreement, he would show her exactly why flowers were so red!

Xuanyuan Jin had thought that, having said so much, Mu Yunxi should surely agree happily. Yet what kind of attitude was this woman showing? Even playing hard to get ought to have its limits!

Xuanyuan Jin's gaze darkened, and he snorted coldly. "Could it be that you want to be my principal consort? Do you think you're qualified?"

Hearing Xuanyuan Jin's words, Mu Yunxi truly felt the urge to throw this stone-faced scumbag out.

"Xuanyuan Jin, I'll say this one more time. I have absolutely no interest in being your woman. Go find whoever you like. You're beneath my notice. Now get the hell out!"

Having spoken coldly, Mu Yunxi turned and headed straight into the house. Let Xuanyuan Jin be as angry and furious as he pleased. What did any of that have to do with her?

"Damn you, Mu Yunxi! Don't fail to appreciate a favor. One day, I'll make you regret this!"

At Mu Yunxi's arrogant attitude, Xuanyuan Jin's expression was far beyond merely angry. He flung out those words viciously, then swept his sleeve and left.

Poor Mu Yuyan and Mu Luoyan were still soaking in the lake, with absolutely no one paying them any attention.

They struggled in the icy lake water for a long while before finally climbing out, but they had never looked so wretched, and their hearts hated Mu Yunxi all the more.

The moment Mu Yunxi pushed open the door and entered the room, she caught a faint, cool, delicate fragrance drifting through the air.

The next second, a silver figure appeared before her like a ghost. Beneath his silver mask, his eyes were deep and cold as he looked at Mu Yunxi with complete seriousness.

"You're going to the Mystic Heaven Demon Forest?"

Mu Yunxi had long since grown immune to Jun Ling's way of appearing. She swept her a cool glance, then walked straight past him to the wardrobe to pack her things.

Seeing this woman actually ignore him like this, Jun Ling's cold eyes darkened once more.

With a beckoning motion of his large hand, Mu Yunxi instantly fell into Jun Ling's arms, utterly powerless to resist.

Mu Yunxi's expression changed. Hating her own helplessness before this dangerous man, she simply closed her eyes.

She couldn't beat him in a fight or an argument anyway, so she might as well close her eyes and play dead!

Jun Ling, however, adored the feeling of holding Mu Yunxi like this. He settled her on his lap and narrowed his cold eyes slightly at the woman in his arms, whose face plainly said she did not want to see him.

"Open your eyes and look at me, or I'll kiss you!"
