With a hint of desire in his sleepy eyes, the man stared intently at Miao Suhuai, scrutinizing her from head to toe, and unconsciously licking his lips.
Chen Zhou felt nauseous at the sight of him. This was the third young master of the Murong family? He had no trace of cultivation aura about him; he was just an ordinary person, and his body was extremely weak and thin. He probably couldn't even beat a scholar.
"Fairy Miao, have you made up your mind? When will you marry me?" Murong Fu asked, his eyes fixed on Miao Suhuai with greedy intent.
Miao Suhuai was somewhat afraid, but she didn't show it. Having seen far more terrifying things in the countryside since childhood, she had long since developed a strong heart.
“Bring my parents out of Mindao and move them into the city, and I will agree to your request,” Miao Suhuai said slowly.
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhou clenched her fists; her parents had already been murdered!
Murong Fu could change a person's appearance or even alter their background, but it was absolutely impossible for him to directly relocate two ordinary people to the imperial city.
The rules in the South were strict, and it was explicitly stipulated that people of the common people could not move into the city during their lifetime.
If Murong Fu violates this rule, it could bring immeasurable losses to his family.
Murong Fu dared not risk his family's life.
"I can give them endless riches and glory," Murong Fu said slowly, without directly answering the question.
He cannot take them to the capital, but he can send them a great deal of gold and silver.
“I don’t need that. I just need them to be able to leave the common people’s city and enter the capital to live a good life,” Miao Suhuai said firmly.
The woman standing next to Miao Suhuai immediately became furious. Was Miao Suhuai really going to refuse a polite offer and then drink a forfeit? She had been serving her every day, and she really thought she was a fairy?
"Hahahaha! What a filial woman! I like her, hahahaha!" Murong Fu suddenly laughed, already having a plan in mind.
"Guards! Go to the city immediately and bring the Miao couple into the city. We will hold a banquet tonight!" Murong Fu shouted.
A voice came from outside the wooden house: "Yes!"
It seems that Murong Fu is unaware of the Miao couple's murder.
Then Murong Fu waved to the woman, who lowered her head and left. Only Murong Fu and Miao Suhuai remained in the room.
"Are you satisfied now, Fairy Miao?" Murong Fu grabbed Miao Suhuai's hand and said menacingly.
Miao Suhuai's body jolted as if electrocuted, quickly escaping Murong Fu's clutches.
"What? You're still not satisfied?" Murong Fu's expression changed, and his previous happiness vanished in an instant.
Miao Suhuai said tremblingly, "If my parents enter the city safely, I will keep my promise."
"What if I ask you to comply now?" Murong Fu said fiercely.
"Then you should arrange a ghost marriage," Miao Suhuai said.
Chen Zhou couldn't help but curl his lips. This woman was too ruthless. Murong Fu was clearly a person with an abnormal temper, not someone to be trifled with. If these words angered him, his whole family would not survive.
Even though she's now the only one left in her family.
"Woman, do you know you're playing with fire?" Murong Fu's expression turned cold.
Miao Suhuai suddenly turned around and wanted to leave the wooden house. Just as she touched the door and was about to push it open, Murong Fu pounced on her like a hungry old wolf.
"Thump..."
Miao Suhuai was tackled to the ground by Murong Fu, who then immediately began his next move.
"Help!" Miao Suhuai shouted loudly.
But this is Ganlinfang, who would come to rescue Miao Suhuai?
Without saying a word, Chen Zhou kicked aside the tile next to him and jumped down, landing right next to Murong Fu.
"Smack..."
Chen Zhou kicked Murong Fu in the abdomen, causing Murong Fu's abdomen to collapse immediately. Murong Fu was like a deflated balloon, spinning 360 degrees in the air before crashing heavily into the door.
Then he lost consciousness.
Chen Zhou quickly stepped forward and checked Murong Fu's breathing, finding that he was still alive, just unconscious.
That physical fitness...
He fainted from just one kick.
Before he could even activate the protective jade pendant, Chen Zhou could kill him while he was unconscious.
However, Chen Zhou did not take any further action, but instead looked at Miao Suhuai, who was standing up shakily.
Miao Suhuai was not seriously injured; she just looked at Chen Zhou with curiosity.
"You are..." Miao Suhuai asked.
Chen Zhou did not answer directly. He did not know when Murong Fu would wake up. The best thing to do now was to escape from here.
Without saying a word, Chen Zhou picked up Miao Suhuai, kicked off with his feet, and rushed onto the roof.
"Don't speak," Chen Zhou said coldly, forcing Miao Suhuai to suppress her questions.
For some reason, Miao Suhuai trusted the man in front of her very much.
He might have saved himself.
Also, he smelled a familiar scent on Chen Zhou, and the clothes he was wearing seemed to be ones his father had worn as well.
Chen Zhou collapsed on the road, his own clothes already covered in blood. The old man rescued him and changed him into one of his favorite clothes from his youth, since he himself would never have the chance to wear it again.
So when Miao Suhuai smelled the clothes and saw their appearance, she felt a familiar scent and inexplicably felt at ease.
Chen Zhou was running across the rooftop when he was suddenly shocked by Miao Suhuai's silence. This woman hadn't made a sound at all. Wasn't she afraid that he was there to kidnap her?
Chen Zhou flew over rooftop after rooftop. With the Swallow Shadow Ghost Step, these skills of scaling walls and leaping across eaves were child's play.
When Chen Zhou entered the city, he chose a small inn on the outskirts of the city. Now he rushed there with all his might. He planned to tell Miao Suhuai everything that had happened and take her to see her father and mother.
Chen Zhou hadn't figured out how to tell this woman all this. After all, he really wasn't good at doing things that people with such a strong sense of justice did. He was just a nobody, and even a nobody like him had spent a lot of time hesitating to save her in order to repay a debt of gratitude.
