Shen Zhi Qiao cursed in his heart.

Just now, if she hadn't seen that Nan was defending behind her, even if they were to attack her, she definitely wouldn't have ignored them.

But now, even her shadow was nowhere to be seen as she headed south. Her aura immediately weakened.

She couldn't guarantee that she could choose a few men by herself.

He habitually rubbed his sleeves, but realized that he hadn't brought the silver needles with him when he left the manor long ago.

She lowered her eyes slightly. If she were to fight, she would only end up being beaten!

Just as she was thinking, she saw a few men slowly walking towards her. She was shocked and immediately raised the large stone in her hand and shouted, "Don't come over …!"

After her loud shout, those men truly stopped moving. Instead, they instantly disappeared.

The situation in front of him caused Shen Zhi Qiao to be stunned. What was going on?!

There was a rustling in his ears, and when he turned around, he saw that she was putting on her clothes with her back to him.

However, not most of them were torn apart and couldn't be worn anymore.

Even though she took action, she didn't feel pity for what had just happened.

After all, she had faced her in the same way before, and she even felt that she deserved it from the bottom of her heart.

He looked at the big demon on his robe and took it off.

He shook her hand, then walked over to her and bent over her.

However, before her fingers could leave the body, she suddenly turned around, and a pale face with blood oozing out of the corner of its mouth appeared in front of her eyes.

Shen Zhi Qiao's heart skipped a beat and he almost fell to the ground.

Just as she managed to stabilize herself in a fluster, she suddenly stood up and waved her hands towards Ye Zichen with a ferocious expression.

She reached out her hand in panic to block it, but her palm landed on the back of her hand.

Shen Zhi Qiao flew into a rage, and slapped him back, "Shen Shu Zhi, are you sick!?"

In any case, she was the one who saved her, so he didn't need her to be grateful to him. At the very least, he shouldn't have attacked her so rudely!

Shen Zhi Qiao's slap was not light either. Five dark red finger prints appeared on the side of her face.

Blood was still trickling out from the corner of Shen Shuizhi's mouth as she opened her mouth to speak. Her lips were dyed red, while her eyes seemed to be stained with the blood. She glared at Shen Shuo, "Slut!"

The moment she heard her voice, everything that had puzzled her this night suddenly became clear.

His hatred for her had seeped into his bones, into his blood!

She was glad that she didn't bite her to death when she bit her tongue just now, because one day, she would definitely repay this deep grudge with a sea of blood!

The hatred in her eyes was so thick that it couldn't be resolved. Shen Zhiqiao couldn't figure out what she had done to make her feel such hatred.

And now she looked into her eyes as if she believed she had arranged everything that had happened to her tonight.

Shen Zhiqiao couldn't help feeling depressed. He didn't want to stay any longer with her, so he turned around and walked toward the entrance.

"Shen Zhiqiao, there will be a day when I will skin you layer by layer, burning you into pieces so that you can never reincarnate. I will make you pay the price for everything that happened earlier. I, Shen Shuzhi, swear to the heavens!"

That deep-seated hatred caused Shen Zhi Qiao to tremble uncontrollably. She clenched her fists, stopped, and closed her eyes. She truly felt that she had endured enough.

From the moment she appeared, it had been her doing everything she could to persecute her. What right did she have to shout at her? It was as if her hatred was as deep as the sea.

Turning around, he leapt in front of her and grabbed onto the clothes in front of her chest. With red eyes, he looked into her eyes:

"Shen Shu Zhi, I don't know why you hate me so much, but I'll tell you!

You forced me to leave Hou Mansion, I tolerated you because Qi Mujing loved you;

In the men's prison you set traps to harm me, I did not take revenge on you, because Qi Mujing loves you;

The reason I saved you today, I didn't just sit by and do nothing. It's also because Qi Mujing loves you …

Therefore, do not think that I, Shen Zhi Qiao, can be easily bullied. If you push me too far, I, Shen Zhi Qiao, am not a kind person.

After saying that, he flung her away and turned around to leave. However, when he reached the entrance, he paused for a moment, "Today's matter, I'll pretend I didn't see it. You better take care of yourself!"

Heart, dull pain!

Qi Mujing, Qi Mujing, what exactly did you do to me? Even though you and I have nothing to do with each other anymore, you still know that the person you love has never been me … I've lied to you for six years, but I still don't want you to feel sad …

The air was eerily quiet. It was cold and ghastly, and the chilliness that could freeze one's heart and bones made one feel as if they had just entered the Ghost manor.

The two of them looked at the gloomy Emperor who was standing to the side, not daring to breathe. Even though the Emperor was extremely cold, he was covered in sweat.

Tuoba Yu narrowed his eyes and stared at the back of Shen Zhi Qiao. His thin lips were stretched into a straight line, and his voice was low, as if he was floating from a far distance away. "What's going on?!"

The person who had been standing not far behind him had cold sweat dripping down his back. When those cold words came out of his mouth, he kneeled on the limestone road and repeated what had happened one word at a time with a trembling voice.

When he finished, the air was colder than before.

After a while, he said coldly, "Do you know what to do?"

He shook his head towards the south, "This servant was ordered to stay at the Dragon's Dweller Palace to take care of the young lady and has never left."

He knew in his heart that the Emperor didn't want tonight's matter to reach the Empress Dowager's ears through him.

However, what shocked him was that the woman who had just shouted for help was none other than the wife of the loyal marquis, Qi Mujing, who had yet to pass.

Furthermore … The emperor had just witnessed the entire process, but he hadn't helped her. In other words, this scene had clearly been arranged by the emperor.

As a servant, he had to observe the situation and think carefully. If the lady hadn't suddenly rushed forward, the emperor wouldn't have ordered the men to retreat, and the fiancée of Marquis Zhong Lie would have already met with an accident.

As for why the Emperor did this, his intuition … It must be related to that girl.

Tuoba Yu's expression remained cold and grim. His slanted long brows revealed a hint of sternness and his exceptional face was filled with a cold aura. His thin lips slightly opened as he spat out a word, "Scram!"

However, heading south felt like an amnesty, quickly thanking him and disappearing at the fastest speed possible.

After all, today he could be considered to have indirectly destroyed the Emperor's plans. If he'd chased away the Zheng Beauty earlier, the young lady wouldn't have come out with him, and even more so wouldn't have coincidentally met with such a situation.

Thus, if the Emperor were to criticize him, he would suffer greatly!

After he left, Tuoba Yu's cold gaze swept in the direction that Shen Zhiqiao had left. The words that she had just said repeatedly appeared in his mind.

Just because Qi Mujing liked it, and Qi Mujing loved it, could she do anything?!

The tip of her nose coldly snorted. Her phoenix eyes flickered with a sharp light like an icicle, and her seductive lips curled up into a smile.

What should I say about you, greatness or selflessness?

However, if I wanted it, I'd rather destroy it than give it away unless it's tightly gripped in my palm!

Therefore, even if you cry in my arms, I will never let you laugh in others' arms!

From now on, I must let you carve this consciousness into your bones and heart!

The moment you returned from the Immortal's Brothel, I decided that even if you hate me, you will still be my dead body when you die!
