Thinking about it, he was about to step forward, but as soon as he lifted his foot, Long Yitian's instructions suddenly came to mind, making him stop in his tracks.
Although Xiong Yujie is currently the woman he likes very much, his relationship with Long Yitian, which has lasted for many years, is naturally deeper. Moreover, they will become in-laws in the future, so there is no reason for her to lie to him.
So, Fan Youbai thought for a moment, then adjusted his breathing to be as weak as possible, drew his sword, cut a wound on his arm, smeared blood all over his body, and staggered forward, pretending to be very weak.
"who!"
Upon hearing the noise, Xiong Yujie, who was cultivating, immediately reacted, her eyes flashing with a sharp light.
"It's me."
Xiong Yujie's cultivation level was already quite high, so Fan Youbai didn't find this reaction strange.
"you…"
However, Xiong Yujie's reaction was much stronger. She jumped to her feet, her eyes wide, and exclaimed, "You... how could you..."
Why did they come back?
According to the plan, weren't they supposed to be killed by that monster?
At this moment, Xiong Yujie was extremely panicked. If Long Yitian and the others were not dead, then she was doomed.
"Princess Zhenxuan, I'm so sorry!"
Fan Youbai thought she was shocked by his injuries, so he quickly said with a sorrowful expression, "Brother Long... Brother Long and the other guards were all killed by that monster. Only I escaped. I've used up all my supplies. Please help me heal."
"You're saying my brother and the others are all dead?"
Upon hearing this, Xiong Yujie was taken aback, but quickly calmed down and walked towards Fan Youbai.
"Princess Zhenxuan, you..."
At this moment, Fan Youbai also noticed something was wrong. Xiong Yujie's current reaction showed no sadness whatsoever; rather, it was more of a feeling of joy!
The undisguised joy on his face—would a normal person react like that upon learning of their brother's death?
At that moment, Fan Youbai felt as if her heart had fallen into an ice cellar, chilled to the bone.
She now feels that he is no longer a threat because he is seriously injured, so he is no longer willing to pretend?
"sorry."
Xiong Yujie's face was cold and aloof, and she was surrounded by murderous aura. There was no trace of her usual gentle and weak appearance.
"Why?"
Fan Youbai was truly hurt, her eyes filled with pain as she pressed for an answer.
"Because I am an unfortunate person."
Xiong Yujie gripped the hilt of her sword, walked up to Fan Youbai, and said indifferently, "I know you like me, but I am an extremely selfish person. I must get what I want, and I can't stand seeing others doing well."
"But you can live a good life."
Fan Youbai said with slight excitement, "Originally, you could have lived a very good life, with Brother Long and Wan'er, and... and me, I would have been willing too..."
"You're only willing because I'm a princess."
Xiong Yujie spoke softly, her eyes twisted with a hint of malice, "Unfortunately, I am not. There's no need to hide it from you now. I'm just a fake princess, and everything here will leave me sooner or later."
Originally, she thought she could rest easy from then on, but from the moment she met Long Buji, she knew that there were some things she still wanted to fight for.
The way to win someone over is either for the other party to make the first move, or for her to make the first move.
She wouldn't give anyone the chance to wrong her.
Therefore, she had no choice but to make the first move.
"No, it's just that you think too badly of everyone."
Fan Youbai looked directly at Xiong Yujie and said, "Brother Long is, after all, the Crown Prince. Even if you are a fake princess, he can't just drive you away like that..."
