I owe him a favor

It was late at night, and after Chao Rirou fell asleep, Yue Lanxiu sent her home.

As expected, the two old guys at home hadn't gone to bed yet. They were too angry and too sad to sleep.

When they saw him and Chao Rirou coming back, they didn't start scolding him, because Yue Lanxiu and the housekeeper had already put together a story, and the servants also said the same thing, saying that there were robbers invading, and Master Xiu fought with them, and finally defeated them with a small number of people, and sent them to the police station.

Although the two old guys were in great pain, fortunately no one was injured, so they just considered it as a way to avoid disaster.

Later, Chao Rirou made amends by giving Xia Tianhan a lot of her treasured antiques! He saw that they were all fakes!

Yue Lanxiu returned to his room to take a shower. Glancing at the bruises on his arms, he couldn't help but complain, "That damn girl pinched me so hard!"

Forget it! She would be fine even if she strangled him to death!

Who made him owe her?

Ever since he witnessed her being nearly strangled to death, he secretly made up his mind to treat her well and never let her get hurt again!

I always feel that I have let her down, so I want to make up for it, so I let him protect her well.

So he must find out those who want to assassinate her!

It's time! He's almost ready, it's time to go meet the person Tang Qianjiao mentioned!

Before dawn, when everyone else was still fast asleep, Yue Lanxiu drove out in his jeep.

The place he was going to now, although not as mysterious as the island he had visited last time, was also a desolate place with no one living within a radius of hundreds of miles!

He was driving on a mountain road, with gloomy woods on the left and a steep cliff on the right!

I don’t know what kind of crisis is waiting for him where he is going this time!

After driving for an unknown amount of time, it was already daybreak and he saw an old but imposing manor nestled among red flowers and green trees at the foot of the mountain.

That should be the destination of this trip.

It’s a beautiful place too!

He suddenly thought of what Chanel had said before: beautiful appearance often hides poison!

Thinking of her, a smile appeared on his lips. She should be enjoying breakfast comfortably now!

I felt hungry just thinking about breakfast, so I reached out to the passenger seat, wanting to take something but felt nothing. I looked around in confusion, "Huh? Where are the donuts I prepared?" Did I forget to take them?

"Here, for you." Someone in the back seat then handed over a donut.

"Oh, thank you."

He had just taken a bite when he slammed on the brakes and glared back through the rearview mirror, his eyes almost popping out.

He saw that in the back seat, the woman he thought should stay at home was sitting there, munching on a donut with great composure!

"Why are you there!" Yue Lanxiu turned around and shouted, staring at her in shock and anger.

"I was just about to ask you, where are you taking me?" She blinked her big, seemingly innocent eyes.

"I told you to go home!" He, who was always good-tempered, couldn't help but get angry. He had known her for a long time, how could he not see that she was playing dumb! She must have sneaked into the car when he wasn't paying attention! This woman was very sneaky! How could he have overlooked it!

"How could he do this? Going out on his own!" She had basically guessed what he was going to do. It must be related to Tang Qianjiao's gang! The same gang that wanted to assassinate her.

However, this guy is too brave and always acts alone!

Although she knew that he was very capable and almost omnipotent, didn't he know that there are always people better than you?

She didn't realize she was worried about him, which was one of the reasons she followed him. After all, her physical condition and skills were not as good as before. If she hadn't been worried about him, she wouldn't have rushed forward!

"I'm going to do serious business! Don't make a fuss! Don't bother me!" He rarely showed a serious expression, especially to her.

"I won't bother..."

"I'll take you home." He didn't let her finish her words. He turned around, started the car and prepared to turn around.

Although it was just a simple sentence, Asahirou could hear the decisiveness in it.

He looked at her bright eyes through the rearview mirror and said, "Then I won't bother you. Stop the car and let me out. I can go back by myself."

"No way! Just sit still!" Afraid that she would open the door and jump out of the car, he had the foresight to lock the door.

He would not take her on any risk this time no matter what.

She could guess his thoughts, and he could also understand hers. This girl must have known where he was going and who he was going to meet! Otherwise, why would she follow him?

Bastard! How did he guess that she wanted to jump out of the car? "Wait! I'll go back with you, but you have to let me go to the bathroom first! My stomach suddenly hurts!" She said with a look of compromise, pointing to the woods on the side of the road.

"Ah?" Yue Lanxiu's handsome face frowned. This woman was really tricky. He didn't know if what she said was true or not.

"I'm not lying to you, it really hurts!" Her eyebrows were squeezed together in pain.

He was skeptical.

She was in so much pain that tears came out of the corners of her eyes.

He was so scared that he quickly unlocked the car door.

Asahiro hurriedly got out of the car, lest he discover that she was pretending and get arrested again!

As smart as Yue Lanxiu was, he caught the smile of triumph in Zhao Rirou's eyes the moment she opened the door.

"That damn girl lied to me again!" He gritted his teeth and got out of the car as fast as he could.

I chased her into the woods, but there was no sign of the dead girl.

He was such an idiot for believing her! Why didn't he learn his lesson and always got fooled by her?

Is she an ordinary woman who sheds tears? The tears she shed are a trick!

"Don't run away, come back here! I'll take you to the Oscars to receive the award!" Shouldn't this acting skill win first place?

Asahirou was not stupid enough to make a sound. Don't think she didn't know that he was trying to follow the sound to determine the direction.

"You're not coming out? When did you become a mouse and like hiding?"

"Are you afraid of getting beaten? Have you finally realized that you are no match for me?"

Humph! Provoking him is useless! Zhao Rirou leaned against a tree, closed her eyes and listened to his shouting with a half-smile.

"Don't you want to know why I know you have a mole on your left thigh? Come out and I'll tell you!" He didn't believe she could keep her composure!

He couldn't hide the anxiety on his face.

Now he just hopes that she will show up soon and stop hiding!

This forest was eerie and scary, and he always had a bad feeling about it. His premonitions were usually accurate.

Her anger was ignited, but she still kept her composure. Bastard! Just wait!

Seeing that she still refused to come out, he had no choice but to admit defeat in desperation, "Forget it, I surrender, I'll take you there! Just take you there!" How could he not know the purpose of her doing this?

Once this woman makes a decision, even eight oxen can’t change her mind!

If he doesn't take her with him, she will take action on her own!

As I said, instead of letting her act alone, it’s better to do it under his nose!

Right now, we need to take her away from this strange place as soon as possible.

This place is not far from that ancient manor. Who knows if it is also their territory.

Upon hearing this, Asahiro opened her eyes with a smile, waiting for his words!

Just as he was about to respond, he suddenly felt something was wrong. His eyes became sharp and he looked around.

I don't know when the fog started to appear in the forest, and it filled the entire space in an instant, making everything around me hazy.

Zhao Rirou frowned. This fog was strange. She felt dizzy and drowsy even in the midst of it.

She subconsciously ran back, running towards Yue Lanxiu.

But after running a few steps, he was surrounded by a huge black shadow.

As her gaze slowly shifted upwards, the corners of Asahiro's mouth twitched. What the hell is this?! Why does it look so much like a dinosaur from a movie?!

Is there a movie being filmed nearby?

Before she could think, the dinosaur suddenly rushed towards her with a thud! thud! thud! It was stepping on footprints that were almost bigger than her!

She had no choice but to turn around and run.

Yue Lanxiu also secretly cried out in disbelief! His premonition was right again.

The surrounding scenery is becoming more and more chaotic!

"Hey, little girl, where are you? Hurry up and speak!" He looked around, his sharp eyes unable to hide his worry.

"I'm here, ah——" This time there was a response, but it was a scream of distress.

Yue Lanxiu rushed towards the source of the sound.

Just nothing.

"Help!" Another cry for help soon came from the front.

In this way, Yue Lanxiu kept following the voice, but never found any trace of Zhao Rirou.

He didn't know that he and Asahiro were running farther and farther in opposite directions.

It seemed like someone was secretly manipulating and trying to separate them.

Perhaps because he was too anxious, he hadn't noticed anything strange yet.

Asahirou ran desperately, the damn dinosaur chasing her relentlessly! She began to realize that this was no simple matter! This was no accident! It must have been premeditated!

It’s probably prepared for her!

Suddenly, her feet felt empty, and she plummeted without warning. The misty forest before her eyes suddenly vanished like an illusion, transforming into a bottomless cliff.

Zhao Rirou was suddenly shocked, but after all, she was someone who had experienced many storms and waves, and she regained her composure in less than a second. With a flash of silver light, a silver chain emerged from her sleeve and quickly and steadily wrapped around a tree on the edge of the cliff.

His life was temporarily saved, but the tree was not big and could break at any time due to gravity!

"Yue Lanxiu--" she called for help without thinking.

Yue Lanxiu's heart suddenly shook, and he couldn't help but stop chasing.

He also noticed something was amiss. At first, the cries for help sounded like Chanel's, but after calming down and listening again, he felt the tone was off. That woman always spoke with a condescending air.

A man was hiding in the dark. Seeing that he seemed to be at a loss, a sneer of contempt came out of his nose.

Although the sound was almost inaudible, Yue Lanxiu's ears were very good.

I don't know when a branch appeared in my hand, and in the blink of an eye it was shot out, heading towards the top of a tree.

"Ah——" The man screamed and fell from the dense tree.

She looked at the man standing in front of her in surprise, and then she realized that she had been attacked.

She was careless and underestimated this man!

He looked like a harmless animal, but as he walked slowly, he had an aura that made people step back.

Also, she only just noticed how handsome this man was!

"Finally found you!" Yue Lanxiu's eyes flashed with surprise. He really didn't expect that the other person would be such a young woman. No! To be more precise, it should be a girl.

But he didn't dare to underestimate this girl. If she wasn't so cocky, it would probably take him some time to find her.

"You're the one who created this fog, right? Is there something drugged in it?" Before she could reply, Chao Rirou's cry for help came from afar, "Yue Lanxiu, where the hell have you been?"

Yue Lanxiu disappeared from the girl's sight as quickly as a gust of wind.

The girl was once again shocked by his ghostly speed.

At the same time, he was extremely surprised. Wasn't the woman still alive? Shouldn't he have been deceived by the illusion she created and fallen into the abyss and died?

She gritted her teeth, stood up, and quickly followed to see what was going on!

Her speed was actually not slow, but no matter how fast she was, she could not compare with Yue Lanxiu. By the time she caught up with him, Yue Lanxiu had already rescued Zhao Rirou.

Hiding in the hard-to-see bushes, she gazed in amazement at the woman leaning against a man's chest on the edge of a distant cliff. Her hands slowly clenched into fists. Damn it! Did we fail here too? That woman is so lucky!

Zhao Rirou lay on Yue Lanxiu's chest and rested for a while.

Strange! She felt relieved in his arms.

Boom, boom, boom! That was the sound of his strong heartbeat, which seemed to be beating a little fast!

Yue Lanxiu only appeared calm on the outside, but inside he was in a state of panic. Only when he felt the soft, warm fragrance of the jade in his arms did his heartbeat gradually return to its normal rhythm.

"I wanted to return the favor, but now I owe you one more!" She muttered into his chest.

His body trembled slightly, and he said nonchalantly, "I didn't ask you to return it."

"But I don't like owing people!" Especially something as valuable as a favor.

"Then pledge your love to me!" A half-serious, half-joking voice came from above his head.

Asahiro looked at him blankly, and when she saw the undisguised mockery in his eyes, she immediately pushed him away, "Get out!" He didn't even notice when he was teasing her!

"Then don't lean into a man's arms casually!" Yue Lanxiu warned her seriously, "And don't talk to a man's chest. Is that any different from blowing into his chest?" If she continued to talk to his chest, he would go crazy! He wasn't a piece of wood!

So he had to "ask" her to leave his arms on her own.

When my arms are empty, my heart will be empty too.

His eyes suddenly became stern, and he heard a slight movement behind him.

A cold light shot out from the flowers and plants and headed towards Zhao Rirou's chest.

Just when it was only a few centimeters away from the target, Yue Lanxiu intercepted it with his bare hands.

Chao Rirou was not too surprised, she could intercept it by herself, and Yue Lanxiu's skills were better than hers, so it was no problem for him to intercept the hidden weapon with his bare hands!

I almost got lost in his handsome moves.

But the girl hiding in the dark was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped. Is this guy still a human being?

She could still believe that she could catch a fly in the air, but this was a hidden weapon, a hidden weapon shot out from her hand! The speed was enough to be comparable to that of a fired bullet!

Just when she wondered if there was something wrong with her eyes, Yue Lanxiu had already turned around and returned the hidden weapon.

By the time she realized it, the hidden weapon had already penetrated her body.

"Ah—" A pitiful scream. It was so accurate! It hit the same wound exactly.

"Who is this person?" Chao Rirou walked over with elegant and steady steps, like a cheetah.

"The person who created the illusion for you! Didn't you just say that you saw a dinosaur? It must be the illusion she created for you!" Yue Lanxiu followed behind her and at the same time made sure that there was no danger around.

"Illusion?" Asahirou immediately understood what was going on. No wonder dinosaurs appeared...it turned out to be an illusion.

She had only heard of illusions before, but today was her first time experiencing it.

It can indeed kill people without them even noticing!

He looked at the person in front of him with some surprise. She was actually a girl, no older than eighteen. "You're not even an adult yet!"

The girl suddenly smiled charmingly and turned to look at Yue Lanxiu. "Do you think I'm an adult?"

When she wasn't smiling, she gave off a pure, innocent vibe. When she did, she looked like a hundred flowers in full bloom, truly stunningly beautiful. Her figure, slender where thin, and rounded where round, had the potential to easily captivate men. This was Yue Lanxiu's assessment of her appearance.

He looked her up and down, and finally his eyes paused on her pale face.

The girl originally wanted to tease him, but instead she lowered her face shyly because of his unscrupulous gaze.

Did this man just look at that part of her?

Strange! If it were any other man, she would have blinded them long ago.

Maybe she knew she couldn't beat him, she explained to herself.

"Have you seen enough? You don't even let go of minors?" Asahiro looked at him as if he were a pervert.

"She was poisoned." Yue Lanxiu frowned.

Upon hearing this, Asahiro's gaze immediately returned to the girl's face. Indeed, her originally pale face was gradually turning darker. "That hidden weapon was poisonous, and now you're reaping what you sowed." A mocking arc appeared at the corner of Asahiro's mouth.

"Don't you have any antidote on you?" Yue Lanxiu asked, squatting beside her.

"I don't have it with me!" The girl shook her head. Who would have thought that it would poison her.

Seeing Yue Lanxiu pick her up, Zhao Rirou frowned, "Why do you want to save her?"

"Maybe it's still not too late to send her back now." He really couldn't bear to see a young girl die in front of him.

As if seeing through his heart, Asahirou snorted coldly as a reminder, "Don't forget what she did to us just now. She will definitely do the same thing again in the future!" There should be a limit to excessive sympathy!

The girl in his arms also had confusion in her eyes, "Why did you save me? I'm your enemy!"

"Considering that you are still in the bud." Yue Lanxiu's evil smile touched the girl's heart.

Asahiro's eyes were almost rolling to the back of her head. In her opinion, he was getting lustful again!

In the speeding car, the girl sitting in the back seat with Asahirou told him that she lived at the foot of the mountain. If you follow the mountain road to the end, you will reach the destination. There is only one manor there, so it is easy to find.

Yue Lanxiu had long known that she was from that manor.

"You should know who I am now." The girl said weakly, her head leaning against the glass window.

"Well, I have an appointment to meet the owner of that manor today." Yue Lanxiu said calmly.

"The owner of that manor is my master, Luosha. He said that a distinguished guest would arrive today and asked me to go out and greet him."

"What a unique way of welcoming." Asahirou, who was resting with her eyes closed, suddenly said sarcastically.

"I heard that you are very powerful, so I wanted to test how capable you are!" The girl's eyes were always on the rearview mirror. She looked at Yue Lanxiu and explained subconsciously.

Yue Lanxiu looked at her in the rearview mirror and gave her a nonchalant smile.

The girl then turned her gaze to Zhao Rirou and said coldly, "As for you, no one wants to greet you, only people want to..." She didn't say it out loud, but just sneered intriguingly.

Yue Lanxiu's eyes suddenly darkened.

Of course Asahiro knew what she was talking about, only someone wanted to kill her!

"Brother Xiu, someone wants to kill your sister. You have to stand up for me and help me find the person who wants to kill me." Chao Rirou suddenly looked at him pitifully.

Yue Lanxiu was disgusted by her pretentious tone and got goose bumps. But how could he not understand her intention?

"Don't worry, I will definitely help you find out who that person is!"

After that, the two of them stopped talking, as if waiting for the other person to speak.

The girl looked as if she was hesitant to speak.

It was not until the car stopped in front of an ancient and imposing gate that she finally made up her mind and spoke, "In consideration of you saving my life, I can tell you who wants to kill her. That person's surname is Tang!" She looked at Yue Lanxiu and said sincerely.

Just when Zhao Rirou and Yue Lanxiu thought it was Tang Qianjiao, the girl continued, "Call me Bai Mei!"

Tang Baimei! Zhao Rirou was startled. Who is this?

Are Qianjiao Baimei and Tang Qianjiao sisters?

She, Asahirou, definitely doesn’t know this person!

Then it must be related to Chanel!

She originally thought that the girl was talking about Mizuki Rei!

Is Shui Wulian related to this group of people?

"I don't owe you anything. We have nothing to do with each other from now on!" The girl said and got off the car first.

"There are still some good things in the clear distinction between gratitude and resentment!" Chao Rirou thought that there would be reluctance in Yue Lanxiu's eyes, but she only saw a vague calculation.

Although it is faint and invisible, once you see it, you see it. It is the look you have when you are scheming against others.

He is plotting against that girl!

This man's mind is quite deep and cannot be easily seen through!
