Chapter 130: Being a slut and still trying to climb up the social ladder

Manluo sighed softly, turned around, opened the window, and let the morning breeze ruffle her hair:

"To outsiders, the imperial family appears resplendent and glorious. However, every tile is soaked in blood, every streak of vermilion lacquer stained with tears. The seemingly splendid throne room actually buries the corpses of those known as destiny."

Xie Zhan never expected that this bright woman in front of him, with a hint of cynicism and mockery in her eyes, had already seen through the essence of the royal family.

She is definitely not an ordinary farm girl.

Although he was far away in Nanzhao, he had some knowledge of poison techniques. There were not many people in the world who could cure the poison of rebirth.

However, he knew that she had no hostility towards him. If she wanted to kill him, she could just take advantage of him being unconscious and get rid of him. Why go to all that trouble?

Xie Zhan gently stroked the brocade handkerchief in his palm, quietly looking at the purple-dressed woman standing by the window:

The morning mist shone a soft light on her hair, her eyebrows were slightly raised like a spring mountain, her dimples were filled with cunning, and even her hair, tousled by the wind, looked like carefully drawn brushstrokes. I couldn't help but stare at her in a trance and blurted out:

"Miss Manluo, are you willing to follow me back to Nanzhao?"

Xie Zhan's voice, mixed with the crispness of morning dew, created subtle ripples in the quiet room.

Manluo trembled slightly when she heard this. She slowly turned around and walked to the couch, gently draping her robe over him.

Then, he lowered his eyes to hide the dark tide surging in his eyes and chuckled softly:

"Second Prince, are you going to take me to Nanzhao to be the princess? Although I come from a poor family, I don't want to be someone else's concubine."

"yes!"

Xie Zhan suddenly grasped her slender hand, his eyes blazing:

"Manluo, I want to marry you and make you my Xie Zhan's princess!"

Manluo had originally been joking, not taking it seriously, thinking it was just a joke. But his words were like a burning coal, burning her heart.

Looking back, her mother died early, and her father listened to his stepmother and sold her, who was only six years old, to a brothel for two taels of silver.

She was beaten and scolded all day long, and even had no food or clothes to eat, so she wanted to escape.

She still remembered that on the day she escaped, she was chased by several thugs from the brothel and had no way out.

It was Xiao Nanyue who threw the silver ingot as he rode past, saving her from the siege.

And she also clung to Xiao Nanyue, and was willing to be a foot-washing maid, as long as she would not be starving or freezing anymore.

Xiao Nanyan asked her if she was willing to be his murder knife? She was only six years old, and she nodded without hesitation.

Why? She wants to learn some skills, kill all the bad guys and protect herself, since she is at the mercy of others.

So, when she learned the skills and walked out of the underground palace, the first person she killed was her biological father!

Xiao Nanyue originally named her Zijing, but she changed her name to Manluo.

Simply because: though the Bauhinia flower is beautiful, it always blooms on the branches of others. She chooses to be a poisonous creeper, climbing over walls and tiles, taking root wherever there is blood, so that every place with light in this world will be tainted with her poison!

Over the years, apart from the deep feelings he had for Xiyan, no one had ever opened their hearts to her, let alone been sincere to her.

She had always used a nonchalant look to hide her inner loneliness and to arm herself. However, looking at the handsome and vigorous man in front of her, the burning light in his eyes warmed her heart:

It turns out that there really are people who can live like the sun.

However, the sun's light and heat were within her reach, but the Chi Zhong Gu in her body reminded her that it was the mark of a deadly warrior planted by Xiao Nanyan. If she had any other thoughts, Xiao Nanyan would activate the poison and she would die.

When she first met Xie Zhan, she only thought he was handsome and kind enough to save her. She felt a little attracted to him, but didn't put too much thought into him. When she heard that he was injured, she took the initiative to save him, which was a way of repaying his kindness.

I originally thought that we would have nothing to do with each other from now on, and might even become enemies.

But she never imagined that the noble Second Prince of Nanzhao would fall in love with her, a humble assassin.

Unfortunately, she always lives in darkness and cannot see the light.

After a long silence, a smile appeared on Manluo's lips and she was about to refuse.

But at this moment, there was a "bang" and the door was kicked open!

A red shadow with a strong murderous aura rushed in, and its black boots rolled over the debris of the wooden door, making a harsh sound.

The man had black hair, loosely tied up with a snake-bone hairpin. His red robe contrasted with his fair skin, and his narrow and long phoenix eyes made him look even more evil and charming.

His eyes were fixed on the intimate couple not far away. His fists clenched involuntarily, as if he had caught an adulterer. A glint of resentment flashed in his eyes.

"Zisha! You little bitch, you're so horny and yet you still try to climb up the social ladder. Have you hooked up with the Second Prince of Nanzhao again?"

Xie Zhan and Man Luo did not expect someone to suddenly break in. They thought that someone was coming to the Regent's Palace to search for someone. However, when they looked closely, they were both stunned.

The person who came was none other than the Poison King Chu Jin!
