Chapter 31

Suddenly, several figures flew out from the crowd, simultaneously raising their knives to slash at Rong Rong.

Ping An and the others reacted very quickly, blocking the attackers' attack in the first instance.

Swords clashed, sparks seemed to fly, and in the blink of an eye, someone fell to the ground covered in blood.

"Murder has occurred at the Prince Yu's residence!"

"Prince Yu disregards human life! He indiscriminately slaughters innocent people!"

"We demand justice! Kill the demoness! Kill Prince Yu!"

Driven by the sight of blood, the crowd, who had just shown signs of sanity, went berserk once again.

They didn't bother to find out who was dying; all they knew was that the Prince Yu's Mansion was about to unleash a massacre. If they didn't seize the opportunity to unite more people, they might very well be purged by the Prince Yu's Mansion.

At this moment, regardless of whether they knew martial arts or not, everyone rushed towards Rong Rong as if their lives depended on it, reaching out their evil claws towards her.

"Stop! Anyone who comes near will be killed!" Ping An roared, no longer just throwing punches at the examinees, but slashing and maiming them with several knives before kicking them aside.

Rong Rong's bodyguards have also appeared. The assassins hired by Princess Ronglu are highly skilled and cannot be easily dealt with.

The scene descended into chaos. No matter how well Ping An and the others protected Rong Rong, they couldn't prevent all the harm.

Pei Li was anxious to rush forward to save Rong Rong, but Ren Wu grabbed Pei Li's waist tightly and dragged him to a corner, saying, "What are you trying to do, you weakling?"

Pei Li's eyes were red, but he was powerless to do anything and could only stare intently at Rong Rong in the crowd.

Suddenly, Pei Li's whole body trembled and tensed up.

"What's wrong?" Ren Wu asked in surprise.

At the same time, the previously chaotic and noisy Japanese-style building became completely silent, as if a pause button had been pressed, and there was no sound at all in the entire building.

Ren Wu's heart pounded wildly. He looked around in fear and saw everyone staring blankly in the same direction, as if some terrifying being was there, and everyone was possessed.

Could it be that a sorceress has appeared in the world? Have everyone's souls been taken?

Ren Wu's face turned pale instantly, his body trembled, and he slowly looked in the direction everyone was looking. The next second, his body stiffened and he instantly lost his mind.

In the center of their vision stood a divine beauty, as if born from the convergence of all the spiritual energy in the world, more beautiful than anything else, unmatched throughout the ages.

You call her a witch? Perhaps. Just by standing there without saying a word, you'd be willing to give her everything.

But how could she be a demoness? That's an insult to her; she should be a goddess.

Princess Ronglu never expected that the crowd, which had gone mad and lost its reason, could be brought under control so easily.

What she thought was a certain death situation could be resolved by Rong Rong simply by showing her face; Rong Rong didn't even need to say a word, let alone offer a smile.

Look, those candidates who were just moments ago bloodshot and shouting for battle, almost to the point of madness, are now all looking at Rong Rong with infatuation, longing, covetousness, admiration, or amazement.

They've probably all forgotten that they were just shouting and threatening to kill people, haven't they?

Even the upright and honest Pei Jieyuan was somewhat infatuated, so who else could remain unmoved when facing Rong Rong?

Princess Ronglu scoffed, but she had nothing to say. Even she was shaken by the other party. She, who was always full of schemes, was now at a loss and her mind went blank.

It only takes a moment to understand Yang Yan; faced with such a beauty, she was completely convinced of her defeat.

Princess Ronglu silently rose and left. Only Yinghong reacted and followed her; everyone else remained rooted to the spot. Ronglu felt indifferent; she was about to face Prince Yu's wrath. She only hoped her father wouldn't blame her, and that the Ming Prince's mansion could preserve a single bloodline...

It wasn't until Rong Rong walked past the crowd and continued forward that the lobby finally regained its vitality.

The frenzied crowd still surged toward Rong Rong, but the previous murderous intent had been replaced by love.

The distinguished guests in the second-floor rooms also rushed downstairs, and the pressure on Ping An and his guards did not decrease, but instead increased dramatically.

"You, you, you, and you! You dare to covet my host? Just now, it was you who wanted to kill Rong Rong. Get out of here! Don't come any closer!" 666 jumped around in the system space, cursing and swearing.

Rong Rong, who was in a bad mood, was finally amused by the little dumpling.

"Host, don't bother with these people. We'll leave as soon as we finish the mission. Just treat them like paper cutouts!" 666 hands on hips.

"I know, don't worry!" Rong Rong replied softly, her voice no longer showing any unhappiness.

Now Rongrong finally understands her parents. Even the all-powerful Prince Yu couldn't protect her, so what could her ordinary parents do?

Just as Ping An and his group were about to lose control of the chaotic crowd, a loud bang startled everyone as the doors of Hefeng Tower were suddenly kicked open.

A squad of soldiers clad in armor and wielding broadswords filed in, violently pinning those closest to Rong Rong to the ground and holding their swords to her neck.

They are the Xuanjia Guards under the command of Prince Yu!

Upon seeing this, the others immediately regained their senses and stepped aside. The crazy ones all had their legs broken and were thrown to the ground, and the scene was instantly filled with painful screams.

Once the crowd was brought under control, another person walked in from outside the door. It was none other than Prince Yu, Zhu Chunji, dressed in court attire and exuding an imposing aura.

His face was cold and stern, his gaze was deep, and his whole body exuded boundless chill, as if a strong killing intent had solidified into a tangible form.

Those who had just been clamoring to kill Prince Yu and Rong Rong now turned into quails and fell silent in fear upon seeing Prince Yu.

Some even broke out in a cold sweat, feeling lingering fear at their irrational behavior.

They had only ever heard of Prince Yu's illustrious reputation; this was the first time they had seen him in person and experienced firsthand how terrifying he was.

Such a person could send shivers down your spine with just one glance, and yet they dared to shout that they wanted to kill him? Kill his queen?

Some people secretly wiped away cold sweat, some trembled, and some collapsed to their knees.

But none of this caught the attention of Prince Yu. He walked straight up to Rong Rong, bent down, and swept her up in his arms.

A gasp suddenly rang out. Ping An flicked the knife in his hand, and with a whoosh, it seemed to hit everyone's brains. People instantly snapped to attention, shut their mouths, and lowered their heads.

But a very few people still stared intently at Prince Yu and Rong Rong in his arms.

Rong Rong rested her head on Prince Yu's chest, closed her eyes, and looked extremely tired.

She was exhausted; she had experienced too much and it had been too terrifying today.

Her action made everyone unconsciously hold their breath, as if afraid of disturbing her sweet dream, and even more so, they hated themselves for their recklessness just now.

What kind of vile woman is she, a goddess who should not be defiled? Yet she was dragged into the mire by greedy humans. It is those dark-hearted people who should be killed.

Suddenly emboldened, people turned their angry gazes toward Prince Yu, but unfortunately their actions had no effect on him.

Prince Yu kissed Rong Rong's temple, then carried her away from Hefeng Tower.

Ping An and the others quickly followed, and only after Prince Yu had gone far away did the Xuanjia Guards sheathe their swords and leave.

The Hefeng Tower has finally regained its former tranquility.
