Chapter 429 The Prey

Although I only caught a glimpse of it, it looked so real that most people would never carve something so frightening on their arm.

Therefore, this person is most likely a death squad member of the Blue Feather Kingdom's royal family.

Who else but Mo Sixuan could command the royal guards of the Blue Feather Kingdom?

Green Water never expected that she would be so lucky; on her very first day of setting up her stall, she attracted the attention of the person behind the scenes.

Wen Zhiming said that the market was crowded and there were too many houses in the alleys. If the criminals were caught here, it would be easy for them to escape or for innocent people to be taken hostage.

It is best to lead people to a secluded, enclosed place.

This assassin clearly didn't want to waste time here, but wanted to use the pretext of a medical dispute to legitimately take her elsewhere.

The two shared the same idea.

On the surface, one appeared aggressive, while the other was forced to comply.

The two dragged each other out of the market and into a dark alley. Just as Green Water was about to speak, the big man turned his head and grinned maliciously, then chopped at Green Water's neck with his large hand.

The green water fell to the ground with a thud, and the big man looked around warily.

As dusk approached, a fiery red ring adorned the horizon, and all around was deathly silence.

The burly man pulled a sack from his pocket, deftly filled it with green water, easily hoisted it onto his shoulder, and leaped onto the top of the wall.

He could carry a person on his back and still easily jump and run on the wall as if walking on flat ground.

Despite its incredible speed, it zigzagged and circled around several times before heading straight west and stopping on the roof of a restaurant called Caixiangju.

There were still a few diners in the restaurant. The big man turned to the back door, stood on the edge of the roof, and easily jumped into the open window on the second floor while carrying the green water.

Mo Sixuan was prepared. He moved the table by the window to one side and watched with amusement as his men released the green liquid from the sack and tied it to the chair.

Is there anything unusual?

The burly man, no longer displaying his previous ferocity, became extremely respectful and obedient.

"Reporting to Master, no one was following us. After we took the girl hostage, we took several detours. Even if there were any tails, we lost them long ago."

Mo Sixuan nodded in satisfaction.

His four assassins were Qingfeng, Chiyu, Baiyue, and Xuankai.

Among them, Chiyu has the best lightness skill. Although Qingfeng's lightness skill is not as good as Chiyu's, he is observant and has strong keen senses. No one has ever followed him without being discovered by him.

Mo Sixuan also went to the market, originally intending to personally capture Lu Shui.

However, seeing that Green Water spoke gently and kindly to the patients, he felt inexplicably displeased. In addition, he was cautious and wanted to avoid being discovered by someone with ulterior motives. After some consideration, he decided that it would be more appropriate to let Qingfeng take action.

Hiding in the shadows, he saw that Green Water had been easily tricked away by Green Peak and had no power to fight back, so he felt even more at ease and returned to his residence ahead of time, waiting for his prey to come to him.

Mo Sixuan had even taken a bath and had a little wine.

Having abstained from sex for so long, he was finally able to indulge himself today, and he was in a very good mood.

He took two steps forward, lifted Green Water's chin, and turned her face left and right to examine it, then couldn't help but smirk.

"It's been over three years since I last saw you, and you're even more charming than before..." He seemed to remember something, his eyes turning cold as he said in a sinister voice, "Could it be that you've been with some random man..."

Qingfeng stood behind him, unsure how to respond.

Mo Sixuan felt that he was in the way, so he waved his hand.

"Get out! Go outside and keep watch. Don't let anyone disturb me."

"yes."

Qingfeng climbed out of the window and then climbed back onto the roof by clinging to the eaves.

Mo Sixuan held his wine cup and circled the green water twice.

The simple room, the dim lighting, the dull dusk, all became bright and cheerful with the arrival of a young and beautiful girl.

Mo Sixuan wasn't in a hurry at all. This place was safe, and Qingfeng was guarding outside. He had plenty of time to slowly enjoy the delicious food.

Looking at Lu Shui's simple and inexpensive attire, he recalled how he had given her a priceless piece of jade, only to have it returned, and a deep sense of unease settled in his heart.

Women who don't know what's good for them should be punished!

Mo Sixuan tilted his head back and took a sip of the fine wine, but instead of swallowing it, he wickedly swirled it in his mouth before spitting it directly onto Lü Shui's face.

The strong liquor jolted Green Water awake.

Upon seeing her surroundings, her expression changed, and her voice trembled slightly with shock.

"It's you! Why are you grabbing me?"

She was knocked unconscious by the burly man and didn't have time to mark the spot, nor did she know where this lecherous man's place was. She also didn't know if Wen Zhiming and the others had caught up in time.

For now, she can only pretend to be confused and try to buy time. Ideally, she should get Mo Sixuan to untie her so that she won't be taken hostage by Mo Sixuan when Wen Zhiming comes to rescue her.

Smelling the alcohol on her body, Lu Shui thought that Mo Sixuan had forced her to drink while she was unconscious, making her feel nauseous and uncomfortable.

Mo Sixuan looked down at her, his thin lips slightly parted.

"Why can't it be me? Who else but me would be so hung up on you? Back then, I gave you a piece of fine jade, saying it could grant you a wish, but you refused it no matter what. You wouldn't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences. Now that you're in my hands, do you know what your fate will be?"

Green Water retorted defiantly, "This is the territory of the Golden Moon Kingdom. How dare you abduct women from our country? If our Emperor finds out, he will not forgive you!"

"You mean Wen Zhiming? He's busy investigating the murderer who killed his daughter and dealing with conflicts with court officials. How could he have time to concern himself with such trivial matters?"

Mo Sixuan carried a stool, sat down in front of Lushui, and sneered.

"Back then, you worked under Meng Lingge. She's now an empress, while you're still just a commoner. If you had known better and followed me, you'd be a mistress by now, living in your own little courtyard with two maids. Why would you need to show your face in public and practice medicine at a stall?"

Green Water sneered inwardly upon hearing this.

Even when Mo Sixuan was a prince, he looked down on women, thinking that they should be grateful to him for taking a liking to them. Now that he has ascended the throne, he is even more arrogant.

In his eyes, women could only live by depending on men. Following him would give her an independent courtyard, two maids to serve her, and allow her to bully and play with him at will. That was the best choice for a powerless female doctor like herself.

He simply doesn't understand what he wants.

Now, Lu Shui is a renowned physician in the Imperial Medical Academy, with several female apprentices under her. Her monthly salary is enough to allow her to live a decent life, and she has the means and ability to choose her own husband.

He is much freer and more comfortable than the master Mo Sixuan described.

She never wanted to be a jealous, domestic woman; she wanted to be independent, strong, and in control of her own destiny.

But now she was in a passive position. In order not to anger Mo Sixuan, she could not say a word of her true feelings and could only try to go along with Mo Sixuan.

Mo Sixuan treated her as prey, but wasn't Mo Sixuan also her prey?

Today she must show Mo Sixuan what it means for someone who plays with eagles to have their eyes pecked out by the eagle.
