CHAPTER 108: CHAPTER 106: TIME TO MAKE IT UP TO HER

Nangong Mo silently reflected on himself in his heart.

The little one is angry!

She doesn’t want to hear his explanation!

He must coax her well!

He took a breath, just about to speak, when he saw Yun Ran turn around and leave.

Nangong Mo quickly grabbed her hand, "Where are you going?"

Yun Ran rolled her eyes, "Let go of your dog paw."

Nangong Mo held tighter, "No."

"Do you believe I’ll chop off your paw right now?"

Nangong Mo: "...I believe. Where are you going?"

Even though he said he believed, he didn’t let go.

"I’m going to see handsome men, hurry up and let go of that dog paw of yours, don’t delay my enjoyment of handsome men."

Nangong Mo: "..."

This grudge-holding dead girl!

"I am one, if you want to see, then look at me."

Upon hearing this, Yun Ran couldn’t help but twitch her mouth, how could there be such a narcissistic person?

"Who wants to look at you? What’s so nice to see? Sinister, shameless, and has no integrity! Makes one want to slap to death!"

"Also, go find your gentle little beauty! If you don’t let go, I will kick you into the lake to feed the fish."

Nangong Mo: "..."

...

Yun Ran stealthily slipped into the small courtyard with Dabai.

Not daring to get too close, she couldn’t hear what the people inside were saying.

Although they only met a few times, Yun Ran was very sure that Nangong Jue was definitely not as gentle and harmless as he seemed on the surface.

Her intuition told her that this person was terrifyingly deep. Beneath his gentle and sunny exterior lay an unfathomable heart.

Seeing him, she couldn’t help but think of a plant: the Ghost Realm Ghost Vine.

On the surface, the plant bathes in sunlight, blooming with bright blue flowers, fresh and elegant, seemingly harmless.

But in fact, its roots extend hundreds of meters underground and crazily spread in all directions, with the roots covered in poisonous thorns. Wherever the Ghost Realm Ghost Vine grows, no grass grows within tens of miles around.

Yun Ran couldn’t explain why, intuition is always hard to explain clearly.

The rumors in the town didn’t say that the Crown Prince knew martial arts, but Yun Ran felt he did, and he was quite skilled.

So she didn’t dare to get too close.

After observing for a while, Yun Ran gently stroked Dabai’s fur, "Go, don’t hurt anyone."

Dabai blinked its amber tiger eyes, stood up, and with a push of its hind legs turned into a white lightning bolt shooting towards Nangong Jue and others talking in the courtyard.

"Roar—"

A tiger’s roar pierced the sky.

Dabai’s tiger eyes widened, its sharp claws waving, pouncing towards the crowd.

Its momentum was truly astonishing.

The few women in the courtyard screamed in panic, hugging their heads and fleeing.

Lan Yi, despite her pale face and eyes full of fear, stood in front of Nangong Jue, "Your Highness, be careful!"

Nangong Jue was stunned, glanced at Lan Yi, pushed her aside, and at the same time raised his hand and sent a fierce palm strike towards the incoming White Tiger.

In mid-air, the White Tiger’s body paused, stepped back a few steps, and landed, but quickly bared its teeth and charged at Nangong Jue again.

Nangong Jue stood in the courtyard, his eyes slightly narrowed as he looked at Dabai, his voice sharp and cold.

"Filthy beast! Don’t be presumptuous in front of me!"

In the courtyard, there was no wind, yet his robes billowed and flapped noisily.

A terrifying aura spread around him, like a storm, with him as the vortex, engulfing everything around.

The White Tiger, known for its fierce and brutal nature, was momentarily intimidated by the aura emanating from Nangong Jue, letting out a low whimper of unease, hesitating to move forward.

Yun Ran, hiding in the shadows, was also shocked.

She clearly saw just now that the aura on Nangong Jue was dark, fierce, violent, bloodthirsty, and sinister.

It was a breath more terrifying than a fierce beast, full of the scent of destruction and death.

So, even Dabai was intimidated,

And, she must not have seen wrong, there was a moment when his eyes turned blood red, a bewitching red, ghostly and terrifying.

This red wasn’t the same as the redness in one’s eyes when angry.

In such a situation, the only thing she could think of was that his pupils turned red due to going berserk, practicing some kind of sinister mental method that turned his pupils red, or drug-induced, or perhaps naturally red pupils.

As she watched Nangong Jue slowly raise his hand, with violent power condensing in his palm, Yun Ran suppressed the storm of shock within her heart and quickly walked out.

"Dabai? Dabai, where are you?"

"Roar—"

Dabai seemed to see a savior, warily backing several meters away from Nangong Jue before quickly turning its head and running to Yun Ran.

Yun Ran looked surprised, "Dabai, how did you end up here? Didn’t I tell you not to run around? What if you scare someone?"

"Crown Prince, you weren’t hurt by Dabai, were you?"

At this moment, Nangong Jue had none of the previous momentum?

His brows were gentle, and his jade-like face wore a gentle and elegant smile, "Don’t worry, Wanyue, I’m fine."

Yun Ran seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "That’s good! Dabai must have been hungry and came out looking for food, but I didn’t expect it to come here."

"No harm done. This White Tiger looks quite mighty and splendid."

Nangong Jue shot a look over, causing Dabai to shiver apprehensively.

Yun Ran reached out to stroke its white fur, her gaze moving to the huddled, trembling group in the corner, "Are you ladies all alright?"

"Th-thank you, Princess, for your c-concern...we’re okay..."

That voice was visibly chattering, the souls that had flown away seemed not to have returned yet.

But Lan Yi, watching Nangong Jue look at Yun Ran with a soft and smiling gaze, especially with such a gentle tone...

She unconsciously clenched her palms, lowering her eyes to hide the dark light within.

"Lan Yi greets the Princess."

Lan Yi stepped forward to salute, her manner graceful, her voice soft and gentle, "Lan Yi dares to ask, when is the Princess available to start lessons?"

Nangong Jue glanced at her, lightly scolding, "Don’t be nosy."

Lan Yi’s body trembled, suddenly kneeling, "This servant has spoken out of turn! Please punish me, Crown Prince and Princess."

Yun Ran’s gaze moved subtly between the two, lightly smiling, "Miss Lan Yi, you speak too harshly. Please stand up! Inform the female official that class will start tomorrow."

Lan Yi did not move from her kneeling position, Nangong Jue spoke calmly, "Aren’t you going to thank the Princess?"

Only then did Lan Yi stand, performing a graceful bow to express her gratitude to Yun Ran.

Nangong Jue left the courtyard with Yun Ran, bidding farewell to Nangong Mo.

"Ninth Prince, take care and rest well. I’ll come to see you when I have the time."

"You better never have the time."

Hearing this, Yun Ran thought, isn’t this asking for trouble? She quickly stepped forward to shield Nangong Mo behind her.

"Crown Prince, he always talks like this, please don’t mind him!"

Having just glimpsed Nangong Jue’s true nature, Yun Ran was really afraid that he might impulsively take out Nangong Mo.

Although she didn’t know Nangong Mo’s actual strength, thinking that his eyes and legs weren’t functioning well now, if it came to a fight, he would surely suffer a loss!
