Xie Jingrun narrowed his eyes. This brat was clearly doing it on purpose. How dare she give a rabbit a name similar to hers!
He said with a stern face, "I don't think either of them sounds good. How about we call it Qingqing?"
Rong Qingqing: "..."
"No, that sounds awful." Realizing her mistake, she looked down at the little rabbit and said, "From now on, you'll be called Xiao Xiu."
Xie Jingrun paused, then suddenly turned back and snatched the little rabbit from her hand. "This rabbit is so plump; it will definitely taste delicious when roasted."
After saying that, he threw it to Changfeng, saying, "Take it and kill him."
Changfeng took the rabbit and held it in his arms, but it felt like holding a hot potato. He reluctantly agreed, "Yes."
"Stop!" Rong Qingqing stood up, her face full of anger. She opened her mouth as if to curse, but when she met the man's gloomy eyes, she immediately stopped and softened her tone, saying, "I'll just stop calling it Xiao Xiu, okay? Please don't eat it. Xiao Xiu... no, the little rabbit is so cute, I want to keep it." At most, she wouldn't call it Xiao Xiu in front of Xie Jingrun anymore; in private, she could call it whatever she wanted.
Xie Jingrun's handsome face quietly turned red.
Does that mean he's cute?
He immediately frowned. How could a man be described as cute?
He was very resistant to it.
"Is it okay?" Rong Qingqing didn't notice his strange behavior. Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, she couldn't help but tug at his sleeve.
Seeing the girl's almost ingratiating expression, Xie Jingrun pursed his lips, about to agree, but suddenly his expression changed, he grabbed her waist and quickly fell to the ground.
"puff--"
At the same time, the sound of arrows piercing the mud could be heard.
Before Rong Qingqing could react, Xie Jingrun pulled her into a few rolls on the grass.
"Puff puff puff..."
Several sharp arrows were now lying on the grass where the two men lay.
Shangguan Yanran was watching the interaction between the two with great interest when suddenly, the situation changed drastically, and someone actually shot a sneak attack.
She was still standing there in a daze when Changfeng rushed over and took her behind a big tree nearby.
The assassin failed to hit Xie Jingrun several times, so he simply abandoned his bow and arrow, drew his sword, leaped out, and slashed at Xie Jingrun.
Xie Jingrun held Rong Qingqing with one arm and drew his sword with the other to parry.
For a moment, the woods were filled with the sounds of clashing weapons.
The assassin was highly skilled in martial arts, and his every move was ruthless and deadly, aiming directly at Xie Jingrun's vital points.
Xie Jingrun was able to protect Rong Qingqing while still managing to handle the situation with ease.
However, the assassin quickly realized Rong Qingqing's importance to Xie Jingrun, and then turned his attack on Rong Qingqing.
As a result, Xie Jingrun found himself somewhat overwhelmed.
Seeing this, Changfeng, who had been observing, handed the rabbit to Shangguan Yanran, drew his sword, and leaped towards the assassin.
The assassin was already struggling to fight Xie Jingrun when, caught off guard, someone pulled out a knife from behind and struck him in the back.
That assassin was ruthless; he took a sword wound but didn't even blink, instead deliberately revealing an opening to Xie Jingrun.
Then, taking advantage of the moment when Xie Jingrun thrust his knife, he suddenly threw several hidden weapons at Rong Qingqing.
Xie Jingrun was startled. With a flick of his knife, he deflected all the hidden weapons.
But at the same time, a muffled "poof" sound suddenly came.
Xie Jingrun froze, looked down, and saw Rong Qingqing suddenly wrap her arms around his waist and stand in front of him.
On her back, bright red blood was spreading.
