at the same time.
Inside the cave, a sleazy Alpha wielding a weapon is stealthily approaching Chi Zaiqing.
Walking up to Chi Zaiqing, the man rubbed his hands together excitedly: "Little beauty, don't move, be a good girl, I'll take good care of you, I guarantee you'll feel so good you won't know which way is up..."
The cold muzzle of the gun was kicked away by Shi Xi, who had already sensed it, before it could even be aimed at the sleeping person's forehead.
Shi Xi's eyes turned icy: "You're courting death."
Bullying a spoiled young master right in front of him? Does he think his bodyguard is dead?
Before Shi Xi could retaliate, the man with the weapon had both arms dislocated by another man who suddenly appeared out of nowhere. As he let out a scream, he was knocked unconscious by a chop to the neck from the newcomer.
"……?" How come this person is stealing his spotlight?
Shi Xi looked at the man in front of her with dissatisfaction in her violet eyes.
The man had an unlit cigarette dangling from his mouth. He took off his black gloves, impatiently brushed his messy red hair back, revealing a handsome and unruly face.
He said to Chi Zaiqing and Shi Xi, "I'm sorry to have disturbed you."
The cave was filled with pheromones that smelled of plum wine, so strong they were almost intoxicating.
It's easy for people to have all sorts of wild thoughts.
In the dead of night, a lonely man and woman are alone in a room, cuddling and embracing...
Shi Xi and the newly awakened Chi Zaiqing exchanged a glance. Chi Zaiqing seemed startled by the sudden incident, shrinking back slightly before looking up at the man timidly, asking, "...What are you doing here?"
Shi Xi's eyes flickered slightly. Judging from Chi Zaiqing's tone, it seemed that she knew him.
He silently sheathed the dagger in his hand.
Chu Yao took out a lighter from his pocket and slowly lit a cigarette.
"You're doing your job, so continue."
Sensing the sarcasm in his tone, Shi Xi was speechless.
I don't know where the other person got that messy relationship from.
Taking a drag of his cigarette and exhaling, Chu Yao put his hands in his pockets and glanced at Shi Xi with his golden eyes—
She's a pretty, aloof beta, and quite skilled too.
Chu Yao thought to himself.
No wonder Chi Zaiqing eloped with him.
Upon smelling the smoke, Shi Xi frowned slightly, coughed, and mentally recalled the plot.
They found out the other party's identity: Chu Yao was Chi Zaiqing's childhood sweetheart.
Besides Sheng Yingpu, he was another admirer of Chi Zaiqing.
Like Chi Zaiqing, the Chu family was a renowned arms manufacturer in the empire, and Chu Yao was also the second son in his family, a rebellious Alpha.
When Chi Yan'an learned that his beloved younger brother had run away from his wedding with a vulgar mercenary, he immediately summoned Chu Yao, who was far superior to Gao Buran in every way.
After all, when choosing a husband for Chi Zaiqing, Chu Yao was also on the shortlist.
However, because Chu Yao's personality was too arrogant, Chi Yan'an was afraid that Chi Zaiqing would not be able to handle such a person, so he replaced him with the steady and reliable Jiang Yichen.
Chu Yao initially thought that Chi Zaiqing and Shi Xi were lovers. Although he felt that Chi Zaiqing's taste was not very good, he still respected and blessed them.
It wasn't until Gao Buran took the money and left that he realized his relationship with Chi Zaiqing was just a simple employer-employee relationship, and he made up his mind to pursue Chi Zaiqing.
Childhood sweethearts vs. a rival who suddenly appears in love.
It's fair to say that the later part of the story is a complete bloodbath!
Thinking of this, Shi Xi instantly became excited.
Upon hearing Shi Xi's cough, Chi Zaiqing immediately glared at Chu Yao with annoyance.
Chu Yao glanced at Shi Xi, noticing that he seemed to be in some discomfort. He paused for a moment, then threw away the cigarette he was holding and stomped it out.
Chi Zaiqing glanced at Chu Yao, her expression warning, and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Ah Ran and I didn't..."
"Shh." Chu Yao suddenly spoke up, gesturing for the two to be quiet.
Chi Zaiqing immediately realized something was wrong and instinctively shut up.
Chu Yao's ears twitched slightly. He turned around and put on his gloves with a wary expression.
Hurried footsteps could be heard outside the cave.
Shi Xi took out the short knife she had just received at her waist, her violet eyes looking at the cave entrance without any emotion.
I was just about to take action.
But his gaze was fixed on a pair of dark eyes—Jiang Yichen's.
Sheng Yingpu was also nearby.
Each of the two men was carrying a man as if he were a chick.
Seeing that they were all on his side, Shi Xi put away his short sword.
Cheng Hao, who arrived last, was stunned by the scene before him: "..."
It feels like I missed a great show while I was out.
Dropping the branch he was holding, Cheng Hao picked up the rope on the ground and tied up the three people who had broken in.
As for Chu Yao, the military had long-standing business dealings with the Chu family, so he naturally knew him.
"Together?" Chu Yao raised an eyebrow at the sight, looking at Shi Xi with a surprised expression.
Goodness, her fiancé and his mistress together? Is Chi Zaiqing, that little madwoman, really going this far?
Ha, looks like this is quite a show.
Chu Yao made his own assessment.
"Hmm," Shi Xi replied perfunctorily, "You could say we're together."
...
Just as Cheng Hao finished tying up the person, it started raining heavily outside.
Too lazy to wait for them to wake up naturally, Shi Xi punched each of them in the stomach.
The three of them hissed in pain!
He woke up immediately.
The leading man looked at Shi Xi and asked, "Aren't you a beta?"
"Alright." Shi Xi ignored him and turned to Jiang Yichen. "They're awake. Go ask them."
Jiang Yichen nodded slightly and asked the leading Alpha, "Who are you?"
When Alpha saw Jiang Yichen, his body trembled as if he were a mouse seeing a cat.
He stammered, "Jiang...Jiang Yichen, what are you doing here?!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yichen narrowed his eyes and sized up the Alpha.
He then remembered who the other person was: a space pirate he had captured two years ago, who had been exiled to a remote star system.
I never expected to run into you here by such a coincidence.
Jiang Yichen looked at him coldly, "Even in exile you're not behaving properly. It seems the initial sentence was too lenient."
"..." Alpha's expression almost crumbled.
He never expected to run into Jiang Yichen in such a godforsaken place; he must have had the worst luck imaginable!
If I had known Jiang Yichen was here, I would never have come over even if you killed me.
"Ah Ran, is he going to kill someone?" Chi Zaiqing leaned on Shi Xi's shoulder and wrapped her arm around Shi Xi's. "It sounds terrifying..."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yichen turned to look at Chi Shixi, "I didn't intend to kill anyone."
That omega, I'll seize the opportunity to sow discord among him.
"I'm sorry," Chi Zaiqing smiled insincerely, "Judging from your tone just now, I thought you were going to resort to torture."
"No," Jiang Yichen said. "I won't do that."
Shi Xi took his words as an attempt to appease Chi Zaiqing and did not take them to heart.
After speaking, Jiang Yichen turned his head, his dark eyes scrutinizing the group of people.
