Chapter 759: The Mantis Stalks the Cicada
Murong Dan waved to her with a smile: "The night is lovely tonight, Miss Yu."
Yu Muhan clenched her fingers tightly, the faint pain in her fingertips quickly calming her down: "Young Master Murong... are you also out enjoying the night view?"
"certainly."
Murong Dan pointed to the stars in the night sky, "Such a beautiful night, it would be too unromantic not to come out and appreciate it."
He had indeed been here for a long time!
A chill ran through her body, and Yu Muhan's face turned pale. She just wanted to leave as quickly as possible—she didn't want to have any more contact with this strange man!
Just as Yu Muhan was about to turn and leave, a man's calm voice came from behind her: "Miss Yu, there's no need to rush away. I won't do anything to you."
"..."
Yu Muhan paused slightly, her back stiff, without turning to look at him.
Murong Dan nimbly leaped down from the tree, put her hands behind her back, and walked slowly towards her with elegant steps: "Actually, I had already guessed that you couldn't bring yourself to be cruel to Ye Fei."
"That day, everything you said to me was just to appease me, wasn't it?"
As Murong Dan drew closer, the masculine aura emanating from him stirred up a disturbing image deep within Yu Muhan's memory.
Her breathing suddenly quickened, and she took a step back, her body trembling uncontrollably: "Don't...don't come near me!"
But Murong Dan ignored him, and his approaching figure terrified Yu Muhan.
Danger!
What is she going to do?!
Oh, right... she also has the Purple Poison that Xiao Fei gave her!
Yu Muhan immediately took out a small bottle from his pocket, his trembling hand on the stopper, intending to pull it out.
But the next second, a surge of spiritual energy firmly restricted her movements, and then Murong Dan's hand reached out—
Yu Muhan subconsciously closed her eyes, only able to feel his hand taking the small bottle away from her palm.
Murong Dan held the small bottle, her gaze fixed on the purple liquid inside, her eyes flashing slightly: "What is this?"
Yu Muhan opened her eyes and glared at him angrily: "Give it back to me!"
Murong Dan seemed oblivious to the girl's anger, simply shaking the small bottle gently in front of her with a somewhat eerie smile: "Could this... contain some kind of poison?"
"Hmm, let me guess—did Ye Fei give it to you?"
A fierce light flashed in Yu Muhan's eyes. Without hesitation, she rushed forward to snatch back the Purple Poison. Murong Dan easily grabbed her hand and smiled elegantly: "Don't waste your energy, little girl."
Yu Muhan glared at him, tears of hatred welling up in her eyes: "What exactly is your purpose in approaching me?!"
Murong Dan smiled and gently wiped away her tears: "Miss Yu, how about we join forces?"
Yu Muhan stood there stunned. Join forces...cooperate?
"Your most respected mother was poisoned by the Holy Church, and you were threatened by the Holy Church because of this. You hate the Holy Church and wish you had the power to kill everyone in the Holy Church, right?"
Murong Dan's smile turned wicked: "Let's turn the Holy Church upside down together!"
Yu Muhan opened her eyes wide.
Is that why he joined the Holy Church?
After a long silence, Yu Muhan stared at him with an incredulous look: "You...who exactly are you?"
Murong Dan released Yu Muhan's hand and gently stroked the top of her head as if comforting a child: "Who I am is not important."
