Zu'an walked into a secluded alley and suddenly turned around: "Come out, you've been following me for so long."
Soon Meng Chan appeared at the corner, her beautiful face filled with embarrassment and trepidation.
"Why is the princess following me?" Zu An asked in a deep voice. Although the two had experienced a crazy night, the other party had taken the initiative to use the Forget-Me-Not Rosemary that night, so she should have forgotten about it. Now, from her perspective, he was the great enemy who caused her family's destruction, so he deliberately spoke in a very harsh tone.
Meng Chan hesitated, but ultimately found herself at a loss for words.
From his perspective, I don't know what happened that night. If I tell him, will he think I'm too scheming and feel disgusted?
Seeing that she didn't speak, Zu An turned to leave. Their relationship was too special, so it was best to avoid any further interaction.
Just then, a frivolous whistle suddenly came from the street corner: "Hey, whose young lady is this? What brings you here all alone in the middle of the night?"
It turned out that a few drunken wanderers were passing by when they saw Meng Chan around the corner, and their eyes lit up.
They had never seen such a beautiful woman before, especially since she possessed an innate nobility that seemed out of place in this area, yet held an irresistible allure for those of them who mingled in the lower rungs of society.
As Zu An drove away, he frowned. He had deliberately taken a roundabout route to shake her off, but ended up in the northern part of the city. The security here was far worse than the streets near the Prince's Mansion. People would often be drinking and calling each other brothers one second, and then smashing bottles over each other's heads the next.
Some dark corners can become ideal locations for murder, robbery, and shady transactions.
However, Zu'an was unwilling to pay attention to her. Meng Chan was not only a princess, but also a famous genius girl. With her current cultivation level, dealing with these few martial arts practitioners was just a piece of cake.
For some reason, Meng Chan just shrank back into the corner, neither making a move nor saying a word, only showing a look of fear.
But the more she acted this way, the more ferocity those men displayed.
It seems that the lady of some prominent family in the city has accidentally gotten lost and wandered here. She usually stays indoors and has no common sense or ability to protect herself.
All the prostitutes they encounter every day combined couldn't compare to a single finger of this woman. Under normal circumstances, they would never be able to lay a finger on a woman like her, not even in this life or the next. But today, a windfall has fallen from the sky.
The other woman's clothes were exquisite, made of expensive fabrics, clearly indicating that she came from a wealthy and powerful family. However, they were not worried, as such women valued their reputation above all else and would not dare to make a fuss afterward in order to preserve their honor.
Maybe there will be a chance to force them to reveal their identity later, and then we can use today's events to blackmail them.
Then there will be beautiful women and a constant stream of resources, and everyone will no longer have to live a life of constant danger.
The more they thought about it, the more excited they became. One of them couldn't resist touching Meng Chan's face and said, "My beauty, don't be afraid, I'll make you happy!"
Meng Chan turned her face to the side, trying to shrink back as much as possible to avoid the opponent's attack, but unfortunately there was already a wall behind her, and there was nowhere to hide from now on.
Seeing her frail appearance, the others couldn't contain themselves any longer and reached out to grab her chest, making a move to tear off her clothes.
Meng Chan was "frightened" and closed her eyes, but no one touched her body. Instead, she heard a few muffled groans.
She was overjoyed and opened her eyes. Sure enough, she saw Zu An standing opposite her, while the other martial arts practitioners were lying motionless on the ground.
Zu An said in a deep voice, "Your cultivation has been damaged?"
Meng Chan pursed her lips and shook her head, but her face shone with a joyful glow like that of someone reborn, making the dim alleyway seem to bloom with flowers and instantly filled with bright colors.
"Then why didn't you resist?" Zuan said irritably.
"I just wanted to see if you would save me," Meng Chan finally spoke, her eyes full of laughter.
Zuan: "..."
This woman's thought process is a bit abnormal.
“We are enemies, why should I save you?” Zuan deliberately put on a stern face and snorted.
Meng Chan didn't say anything, just looked at him with a smile.
"What if I hadn't come back? Would you just let them bully you like that?" Zuan couldn't help but ask.
“No, I will kill them,” Meng Chan replied matter-of-factly. “But that would make me very sad.”
Zuan was speechless for a moment, then turned to leave.
Suddenly, Meng Chan hugged him from behind: "Don't go!"
Zu An was taken aback, then realized: "You remember that night?"
Meng Chan blushed slightly: "How could I forget such an unforgettable experience?"
Zuan was somewhat annoyed: "It seems that the Forget-Me-Not Rosemary is just a name without substance."
"No, I had actually forgotten about that night. But I wrote a letter beforehand, and when I saw the letter afterwards, I gradually remembered it." Meng Chan hadn't dared to say it directly before, but what had just happened made her feel the other person's pity, so she spoke up.
Zuan suddenly realized that Forget-Me-Not Rosemary hadn't completely erased that memory, but rather sealed it away. If there were other triggers, it would still remember it.
“We are enemies after all,” Zuan said in a deep voice.
"No, you are our benefactor. It is because of your leniency that more people from the Meng family and the Prince of Dai's mansion were able to survive." Meng Chan hugged him even tighter.
For a moment, Zu An didn't know whether she was telling the truth or not. Smelling her fragrance and feeling the graceful curves of her back, he felt the energy he had finally managed to suppress stirring within him again.
