CHAPTER 23: CHAPTER 22: THE YOUNG SCOUNDREL BLOCKING THE CARRIAGE IN PUBLIC!

Inside the carriage, Xie Jiuxiao casually engaged in small talk.

"Did you suffer any humiliation at Marquis Wu’an’s estate?"

If so, he would surely rebut against Marquis Wu’an, ensuring his life becomes slightly more interesting.

Yu Nianzhao raised her chin lightly, with a confident smile, "Are you joking? Am I someone who would let herself be wronged? To those rude to me, I’ll repay them double! However, the relationship between me and the marchioness is one thread that can’t quite be severed. Today, I helped her banish evil spirits as a form of repayment, settling past karmas and finally letting go."

Ms Lien gave her life in the human world, a debt of life.

Five years in Tomb Guard City, her death dissolved the Pei Family’s familial curse.

Now, helping Ms Lien expel the evil spirit, preserving her life, resolved her deadly aura.

Karma has completed its cycle, and she has no relation with the Pei Family anymore.

Severing bonds quickly and decisively!

Xie Jiuxiao’s lips curled up, "Indeed, with your personality, it’s hard for anyone to bully you. But hearing those words are really unpleasant."

That Mrs. Pei kept calling her an orphan and a curse, really making one want to shut her mouth.

Xie Jiuxiao seemed oblivious, fiercely protective of Yu Nianzhao.

Yu Nianzhao nonchalantly waved her hand, "Words belong to the people who say them, and I’m indifferent towards them, why care what they say? Unless the words are horribly unpleasant, then I’ll make them say until they can no longer talk."

Just like Pei Yunqi, an Confession Talisman can surely make him obedient!

"Moreover, Mrs. Pei’s brow is tainted with the aura of death, and recent bad luck is looming. Without me needing to do anything, she’ll taste bitterness herself."

However, she was more concerned about the tattoo on her neck, always feeling something strange about it.

[Master, the evil energy on this person is so delicious, truly a great nourishment, I want to swallow him whole.]

[Master, get closer, I want to taste the flavor of the evil qi.]

[Master, quickly go over...]

Yu Nianzhao suddenly slammed into Xie Jiuxiao’s chest, her cheek pressed against his chest.

Xie Jiuxiao let out a muffled groan, gritting his teeth, "Yu Nianzhao, are you trying to murder your husband?"

"Hehehe, I didn’t mean to!"

Yu Nianzhao was a bit embarrassed, warning Jiu Ying mentally, "Jiu, you better behave, this man is my nourishment, his evil qi is endless, can be absorbed slowly, don’t think about swallowing whole and finishing it. If gone, what will you compensate me with? Watch out or I’ll chop off your head to kick as a ball!"

[Whimpering...Master has a man now, and doesn’t want Jiu...]

Yu Nianzhao ignored Jiu’s fake cries, quickly climbed out of his embrace.

In the next moment!

Crash!

The carriage shook violently, Yu Nianzhao had just stood up, only to slam her head into Xie Jiuxiao’s chest again.

Crack!

She could hear the sound of Xie Jiuxiao’s ribs breaking.

Xie Jiuxiao drew a sharp breath, enduring the pain while still holding Yu Nianzhao’s waist, preventing her from falling.

Yu Nianzhao looked up, innocently blinking, "Prince, this time it wasn’t intentional, not me!"

Xie Jiuxiao clenched his teeth, "This prince knows!"

The carriage curtain lifted, Mu Hongxuan entered with a cold face, "Prince, someone was causing trouble ahead, which is why the carriage came to a sudden stop, Prince, are you okay?"

Seeing Yu Nianzhao’s messy hair as she scrambled into Xie Jiuxiao’s arms, her clear eyes misty, while the prince looked at her tenderly.

This ambiguous scene made Mu Hongxuan uncomfortable, his gaze panicking as he lowered the curtain, "Sorry, Prince, it was presumptuous of me, I will make sure to notify before opening it next time."

He regretted it deeply, how could he forget, there’s a Princess Consort Su now, no longer the solitary prince he used to be.

Xie Jiuxiao was in immense pain, temples throbbing.

"Mu Hongxuan, what nonsense are you thinking?"

Thinking he was doing something inside the carriage?

Yu Nianzhao quickly extricated herself from Xie Jiuxiao’s embrace, painting a talisman in mid-air, slapping it onto his chest, a golden light merging into his body.

Xie Jiuxiao felt the pain in his chest alleviate significantly, incredulously raising his gaze, "Is this another talisman?"

"Yes, it’s specifically for pain relief. Something created in mid-air, it won’t last long, next time I’ll paint a few more and carry them in a sachet."

"Alright, this prince is waiting."

Xie Jiuxiao lowered his gaze slightly, concealing his emotions, but couldn’t stop his lips from curling.

Yu Nianzhao quickly alighted from the carriage, spotting a lavishly dressed young noble throwing a tantrum in the middle of the road.

"Ahhh! Give me back Shangyuan Gambling House, why did Prince Su close it down, that’s my lifeline, I’ve spent so much money there, was about to win it back, then suddenly closed down? Why?"

He rolled on the ground, evidently knowing the carriage belonged to Prince Su, thus blocking the path.

Bold and audacious!

Dare block Xie Jiuxiao’s carriage?

Yu Nianzhao lifted her gaze, looking at the sealed Shangyuan Gambling House, with seals still attached, the name plaque still in place.

"Prince, this is Song Jiling, the legitimate grandson of Mr. Song, a frequent visitor at Shangyuan Gambling House. During the raid, he was there, already protested once, should have been confined at Song Mansion recently, somehow let out again."

Mu Hongxuan leaned over, reporting in a lowered voice.

"Bind him and send him back to Song Mansion."

Xie Jiuxiao gave a mere glance, calmly ordering.

"Yes, Prince!"

Mu Hongxuan moved swiftly, but Song Jiling, this spoiled young noble, was no pushover, acted like a shrew while his accompanying servants blocked Mu Hongxuan, preventing him from capturing Song Jiling, causing a brief chaos.

"Ahhh! Prince Su, I’m coming for you."

Song Jiling’s face was dark blue, his eyes deeply shadowed, remnants of madness within, and charged madly towards Xie Jiuxiao.

Killing intent flashed in Xie Jiuxiao’s eyes.

"Jinglan, no!"

A graceful young girl leaped over, trying to stop Song Jiling.

But at that moment, Song Jiling’s mind was fixated solely on attacking Xie Jiuxiao, frantically pushing the girl aside.

Watching the maiden cry out, about to fall awkwardly to the ground.

Yu Nianzhao swiftly moved, one arm wrapping around the girl’s slender waist, while using the other hand to slap a talisman on Song Jiling’s forehead.

Song Jiling, who was just being noisy, froze like a zombie, motionless on the spot.

"Miss, are you alright?"

Yu Nianzhao blinked her pretty eyes, looking at the adorable girl in her arms, flashing a bright smile her way.

Song Caiwei’s heart was still racing, she looked at Yu Nianzhao’s beautiful face, realizing she was still held in her arms, her face flushing with embarrassment, quickly arose, bowing in gratitude, "Thank you, miss, for saving me."
