CHAPTER 34: CHAPTER 34: MALE BODHISATTVA!

Wenxi tightened the person in his arms, a smile gentle yet concealing a blade, "I remember you, you’re just a negligible knight by Her Highness the Princess’s side. How did you end up here?

Oh, did you lose your way? You’ve inadvertently disrupted my rendezvous with Her Highness the Princess. Please leave now."

"Rendezvous? You call this a rendezvous?!

She’s clearly not in her right mind already!"

Xu Mo said as he insisted on taking Ruan Li into his own arms, but at this moment, Ruan Li was limply leaning against Wenxi, and afraid of hurting her with force, he was unable to snatch her away from Wenxi.

"Allow me to remind you, Her Highness is my fiancée. Even if I have done something to her, it is with the Queen’s permission. You are merely a little knight, I hope you do not forget your standing."

Wenxi’s smile deepened, he gently caressed Ruan Li’s cheek, looking at him with a determined expression.

Xu Mo was furious, he directly grabbed Wenxi’s collar, "Let go!"

The enraged fox shed all its disguises, leaving only a thought of silencing him. He narrowed his eyes, his face expressionless, but his aura made Wenxi uncontrollably fearful.

"What are you doing! I am a guest of honor! Someone, quickly capture this rude and insubordinate criminal!"

This was a premeditated hunt, the assassins long waited at the periphery, responding to the prince’s command as they flooded out, encircling him.

Xu Mo saw a mass of about thirty people forming two or three circles, and let out a cold laugh, "Are you sure these people can stop me?"

He drew the sword from his waist, his gaze sweeping inch by inch over the surrounding assassins.

"What are you standing around for! Kill him!"

The assassins overwhelmed Xu Mo completely, while Wenxi successfully retreated with the princess in his arms.

He had no heart to watch the ants’ tragic deaths, leaving calmly with the princess.

Xu Mo wielded his long sword, cutting down wave after wave, yet each time he was about to catch up, another wave surged forward.

Seeing Ruan Li’s figure about to vanish from his sight.

He plunged his long sword deep into the ground, slicing through the swords coming at him.

Xu Mo, holding the broken sword, rushed straight towards Ruan Li, a broken sword, one strike to the throat.

Clang—

Wenxi only felt a strong wind graze past his neck, a broken sword suddenly embedded in the wall before him.

He suddenly clutched his neck, the intense pain rendering him unable to make a sound, only able to widen his eyes in terror and glance back, yet even before he could see, he collapsed with a crash.

Xu Mo had already pulled Ruan Li out just as he was about to fall.

However, part of the blood still splashed onto Ruan Li’s cheek. Xu Mo took out a cloth from his pocket, folded it into small pieces, and meticulously wiped the bloodstains from her face.

He picked up Ruan Li, striding toward the main road.

Behind him, Wenxi’s terror-struck dying expression continued to gaze in Xu Mo’s departing direction, golden sunlight turning the vast bloodstains into a golden-red, resembling a splendid painting.

Ruan Li slowly awakened, rubbing her aching head, and upon opening her eyes, she saw Xu Mo silently seated in front of her.

The man’s solitary aura was so intense at the moment, it seemed as if it would condense into a bottomless ocean, suffocating yet helpless.

Ruan Li softly called out, "Xu Mo?"

"Mm, I’m here."

His blue and white knight’s uniform had long been soaked with large stains of blood, the thick scent of blood noticeably filling the room.

Ruan Li carefully recalled her memories before she fainted... it seemed Wenxi had drugged her, so did Xu Mo rescue her?

But why is there so much blood on him?

"Xu Mo, what happened to you?" Despite sensing the dull atmosphere surrounding him, she still spoke.

"Nothing, there’s just a little more left in the story. Do you want to continue?" The man turned his face, revealing a flawless side profile like white jade, a light-colored tear mole at the corner of his eye adding a seductive chill.

Ruan Li glanced at the panel, but strangely, there was no task prompt.

"It seems my storyline is finished, do you still have more?"

Xu Mo’s voice was suppressed, spilling out a deep and thick sound, "Mm."

"Then let’s continue, it shouldn’t take much longer... right, Xu Mo, what’s with all the blood on you?" Ruan Li asked casually.

Xu Mo curled his lips, "I just killed a few dogs that were in the way."

"Your clothes are dirty, do you need to take a bath and change?" Ruan Li wasn’t afraid of what he said because this was in the game, she asked considerately.

"...Then you might have to wait a bit longer."

The sound of water came from the bathroom. Ruan Li felt her clothes were a bit heavy, so she got out of bed and changed into a simple long dress from the wardrobe, sitting by the bed, bored, staring at the floor.

The water suddenly stopped; Xu Mo must have finished.

"Your Highness, I don’t have any clothes to change into." The voice came from the bathroom.

Ruan Li considered finding a servant to get clothes but decided against it, so she shouted to Xu Mo, "There should be a towel beside you, just wrap that around you, remember to wrap it tightly."

Clack, steam poured out from the door gap, a snow-white body faintly visible in the mist, gradually becoming clear with each step.

Ruan Li’s gaze landed on his upper body, her eyes openly showing surprise and admiration.

Two drops of water slid down his taut skin, along the crisscrossing muscles, one disappearing into the mermaid line faintly visible...

Bringing Ruan Li’s gaze with it.

Seeing her trance-like appearance, a faint smile appeared on Xu Mo’s peerlessly handsome face.

The man stepped forward a few steps, Rauan Li immediately drew back her gaze as if touching electricity, her ears turning red, she regretted, she might doubt her already limited resolve.

Ruan Li immediately lowered her head, "I’ll go outside to find you some clothes."

She hastily tried to run out but was pulled back by Xu Mo.

He held her hand against his waist and abdomen, "How does it feel?"

Man Bodhisattva!

Ruan Li’s face began to heat up, stammering, "Quite good."

"Compared to other men?"

"??" Seeing the man’s half-smiling eyes, Ruan Li instantly understood, "You feel the best, really."

She clearly saw Xu Mo’s smile deepen, but why did the air around them feel increasingly colder?

The skin under her palm remained blazing hot.

The man chuckled lightly.

What is he concerned about... tch.

"Do you want to keep touching?"

Ruan Li was about to nod, but seeing the beauty in front of her, she resolutely said, "I’ll go find you clothes, don’t catch a cold!"

The man’s red eyes narrowed slightly, seemingly not expecting any woman to endure like this.

He held a stiff smile as he said sinisterly, "Just remember to come back."

Ruan Li’s hurried footsteps suddenly faltered, nearly spraining her ankle.
