Chapter 1 The Commander's Excessive Pampering of His Wife
Nanshan Temple,
In a secluded side room on the left.
A woman dressed in a blue dress, without any headdress, and possessing striking beauty, sat at the table, her chin resting on her hand, staring intently at the teacup on the table...
A moment later, a man dressed in black with a handsome appearance barged in and closed the door behind him.
Luo Xi saw a stranger barge in and quickly stood up.
Upon seeing someone inside, the man immediately reached out and forcefully grabbed Luo Xi by the neck.
Luo Xi: !!!
"Ugh..." She remained calm and kicked the man in black hard there.
The man groaned in pain, then released his grip on Luo Xi's neck, collapsed to the ground, and passed out.
Luo Xi also fell to the ground, and it took her a while to recover.
Then, her gaze fell on the man in black, her eyes filled with murderous intent.
He had a wound in his abdomen, and it looked quite serious. No wonder he passed out so quickly.
After a moment, Luo Xi stood up. She looked left and right, trying to find something to kill him.
Finally, her gaze fell on the teacup on the table. She walked over, picked up the teacup, and smashed it hard on the head of the man in black.
With a loud "bang!", a large gash appeared on the man's forehead.
Then, Luo Xi bent down, picked up a sharp shard, and began slashing at the black-clad man's neck, one slash after another, each one more severe than the last...
She had no grudge against this man, yet he barged into her room and tried to strangle her. If he hadn't been seriously injured, and if she hadn't been calm enough to kick him there, she might have lost her life there.
Therefore, he must die.
Finally, the man in black died, completely and utterly dead...
Just then, footsteps sounded outside—not just one, but many…
Several people were standing at the door of her room.
This room has no windows, only a door, and there are people standing outside the door at this moment.
It seems she can't leave even if she wants to.
Luo Xi guessed that these people were probably looking for the man in black.
He just didn't know if those people outside were his people or people who wanted him dead.
She guessed it was the latter.
The fact that this man in black barged into her place clearly meant he was trying to hide from someone...
"Knock knock knock..." The knocking sound rang out.
Lu Yan stared at the door. "I am Lu Yan, ordered to capture the assassin. Have you seen him...?"
Before he could finish speaking, the door opened from the inside.
He was stunned when he saw a few drops of blood on Luo Xi's beautiful face.
Then, his gaze shifted downwards, noticing the obvious strangulation marks on her neck, and his eyes turned slightly cold.
Luo Xi pointed inside, "Lord Lu, is he the assassin you're looking for?"
Lu Yan looked in the direction Luo Xi was pointing and saw the black-clad man lying motionless on the ground with blood all over his neck. He couldn't ignore the wound on his neck.
Lu Yan's gaze fell on Luo Xi's small hands, which were stained with blood.
Okay, he knows who did it.
Luo Xi noticed Lu Yan's gaze and explained, "He broke into my room and tried to strangle me."
"Luckily, he was seriously injured, otherwise, I would have died..."
Lu Yan: "Yes, I understand. Miss Luo, you did a great job."
Are you alone here? Where is your maid?
Luo Xi lowered her eyes. "She...she was called away by her mother."
Lu Yan: !!!
What was Madam Luo planning to do by sending Miss Luo's maid away?
"Miss Luo, this room is unavailable. I'll have someone arrange another room for you, is that alright?"
Luo Xi: "Okay, thank you, Lord Lu."
After Luo Xi left, Lu Yan entered the room, drew his sword, and beheaded the man in black...
