Chapter 16 He Likes Men
Cheng Sijin was almost mad with anger. She used both fists and feet, and each move came like dense raindrops. Shen Yue was also happy to spar with her, grappling, throwing, palm strikes, leg sweeps... The two figures intertwined and flew in the small shop.
“Snap—”
The tea set was smashed to pieces.
"Bang—"
There was a big crack in the counter.
"Ouch--"
Unfortunately, the servant was injured by mistake.
The two fought back and forth for a full quarter of an hour. Shen Yue finally lost her patience and used a "silk-wrapping hand" to hold the other person in her arms, with her slender fingers hooked on her delicate chin.
"Have you had enough of the beating, pretty girl? Can you sell me the medicine?"
"……dream!"
Cheng Sijin was filled with shame and anger, and while Shen Yue was not paying attention, she took out two poison needles from her sleeve.
How could Shen Yue not notice it?
She had been prepared for this and could easily kill the opponent with one strike before he could make a fatal move.
Unexpectedly, just when Cheng Sijin was about to take action, a familiar male voice suddenly came.
"Stop it."
Following Shen Yue's surprised gaze, a man in black brocade clothes and a mask on his head slowly walked out of the dark room.
"Prince...Prince?"
How come he is here?
Xiao Yuheng seemed a little embarrassed and was slightly stunned.
Is his voice so distinct that he's instantly recognisable?
Never mind, he was going to reveal his identity anyway.
A certain man stretched out his fair and slender hand, silently took off the mask, revealing his handsome face.
"Ahem, Sijin, this young master wants the antidote, just give it to him, otherwise he will be too anxious to sleep."
He raised his eyebrows slightly, leaned forward slightly and faced Shen Yue directly, "Is that right, Shen Er?"
“…” Damn?
Shen Yue was almost stunned.
He actually knew it was her!
When did he know? From the moment she called him "Prince"? From the moment the secret room door opened? From the moment she entered the black market? Or had he always known she was from the Netherworld Palace?
But anyway, he knew it.
what to do?
Kill him?
Thinking of the tea leaf he threw away today, Shen Yue swallowed guiltily.
Ancient people's martial arts were mostly a combination of moves and internal strength. Based on her experience in the study, she could still fight Xiao Yuheng on equal terms in terms of moves, but if it came to internal strength, she would definitely not be his opponent.
Let’s take a soft approach.
Thinking of this, she quickly withdrew the hand that was hooking Cheng Sijin's chin, took off the mask, and revealed a flattering smile.
"Hey, Your Majesty, what a coincidence, meeting you here. Have you eaten? And you look so handsome today..."
Xiao Yuheng raised his eyebrows and just looked at her quietly. When he heard her say "handsome", he subconsciously looked at his own outfit.
This was a casual outfit he had picked out when he left the house. Apart from the top quality material, the style was nothing special. But from what Shen Er said, it seemed like he was praising his good looks?
Speaking of good-looking, Shen Er is the one who really shines today. He is wearing a royal blue tight-sleeved suit, which makes his skin look fair and translucent. It is obviously a standard men's outfit, but he manages to make it look feminine.
Her pair of peach blossom eyes were bright and clear, her small nose was covered with an almost invisible layer of sweat from the fight just now, her plump lips opened and closed, and although she was speaking words of flattery, they sounded surprisingly nice.
And those hands, they are just small and look soft...
Oh no, why is his hand... still on Cheng Sijin's waist? How can this be so embarrassing!
Our little shadow guard Shen Yue was trying to curry favor with the boss with a playful smile, but somehow he suddenly pulled her over.
"What does it look like for a man and a woman to be tangling with each other?"
Her boss seemed a little unhappy.
That's right, it would be strange if he could be happy when his woman was beaten up and molested by another man.
"Um, I know I was wrong! I didn't mean to touch your woman, I really didn't!"
The boss was on top, Shen Yue did not hesitate to kneel down on the ground.
Xiao Yuheng frowned unconsciously, "Who said she is my woman?"
"Huh? Isn't it?" the two women said in unison.
Shen Yue raised her head in surprise: "You guys were still playing tricks a few days ago, and this is not your woman? Really not?"
Cheng Sijin also put her hands on her hips in confusion: "Master, Master, it was agreed that I'm the top performer and you're the patron, and I'm not your woman? Huh?"
"cough……"
Seeing the two people's inquiring eyes, Xiao Yuheng looked away uncomfortably.
“Shen Er is one of us, there is no need to hide it.”
He moved to the counter, and the servant hurriedly brought the last surviving chair over and placed it behind him. Cheng Sijin also brought hot tea and served him, "Young Master, please."
"Um."
The man took the teacup calmly and blew gently to remove the hot steam from it, completely unaware that Shen Yue's mouth was slightly open in shock.
"Young Master?" She blinked. "So, Wanbao Pavilion is the prince's property?"
The man raised his eyes to show his agreement.
"What about Man Ting Fang as well?"
The man did not deny it.
"Miss Cheng is also the prince's person?"
The man was about to nod, but frowned slightly.
This is a good thing to say, but it doesn't sound very pleasant.
"To be precise, she is one of my subordinates."
"Oh, I see."
Shen Yue suddenly realized, and seemed to remember something. She stood up happily, came behind Xiao Yuheng, and massaged his shoulders like a lackey.
"Well, Your Highness, since Wanbao Pavilion belongs to us, it shouldn't be difficult to reward your little shadow guard with an antidote, right? I'm talking about the kind that can completely detoxify."
Xiao Yuheng wanted to laugh after hearing this. What's the point of talking about our family or not? Who wants to talk about "ours" with him?
But he didn't refute it in the end, and raised the corner of his mouth proudly, "Of course it's not difficult."
When Shen Yue heard this, she punched even harder.
"Thank you, Your Majesty?"
After hearing what she said, the corners of Xiao Yuheng's mouth, which had just been raised, fell again.
This kid is doing this again.
Last time, he took away the title of second director without waiting for him to say anything, and this time he did the same thing again, trying to cheat him out of the antidote. He is so cunning!
"I only said it wasn't difficult. When did I say I would reward you?"
Xiao Yuheng raised his eyebrows, with a hint of smile in his eyes.
Shen Yue was standing behind him, so she couldn't see his expression. She thought he was going to embarrass her, so she said anxiously:
"Your Highness has long known my identity, yet he has spared my life. This shows that I am still of some use to you. Please be merciful and save me. I will not let you suffer any loss!"
"really?"
"Yeah, yeah, seriously!"
The little shadow guard nodded rapidly, his voice filled with uncontrollable joy. The man smiled even more brightly when he heard it.
Cheng Sijin, who was standing by, witnessed all this. Her eyes were already rolled up to the sky, and her mouth was turned into an inverted U shape.
In the past, many young ladies from aristocratic families showed their affection to the young master, but he never caught their eye. I never thought that he actually likes men. Wow!
