"Then where can I hide? Why did you come in? Are you looking for death?" Su Nuannuan stomped her feet on the bed. At this time, she could see clearly that the reason why the handsome and upright young marquis turned into a ball of matter was because he was covered with a tattered wet quilt that he had pulled from somewhere.
"With me here, it's not that easy for you to die." Duan Tingxuan was so angry that he simply stopped talking to this "stupid woman". He untied the quilt and jumped onto the bed. Without saying a word, he carried Su Nuannuan on his back. Then he heard a "meow" and it turned out that the big tabby cat Zhaocai was squeezed between the two of them and let out a scream.
Duan Tingxuan rolled his eyes and didn't bother to throw the dead cat out. He pulled the big quilt over his back, barely hiding his and Su Nuannuan's figures. The room was already a sea of fire, with no place to stand. Su Nuannuan's eyes widened in fear, and she couldn't imagine how Duan Tingxuan would take her out in such a desperate situation.
"Put me down." Su Nuannuan said these words subconsciously out of fear and guilt, but heard Duan Tingxuan sneer and said, "This is really not like a stupid thing you would say. Hold on tight." As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly grabbed the pillow on the bed and threw it out with a shake of his hand. At the same time, he rose from the ground and flew over the sea of fire in front of the bed like a roc. In a blink of an eye, he was at the door. As he was about to die, his body fell down, and the pillow happened to fly over. So the young marquis tapped his feet and used the power of the pillow to raise his body again. The flames quickly passed by him, and the next moment, he had carried Su Nuannuan through the outer room and landed outside the house.
This series of actions was so fast that in the blink of an eye, Su Nuannuan was saved. When she got off Duan Tingxuan's back, she heard a continuous crackling sound. Turning around, she saw that some small beams were broken and collapsed by the fire. In just a moment, several houses were engulfed in flames.
"Oh, so many things, my jewels, my silver, my cloth..."
Su Nuannuan let out a deafening scream. Without a second thought, she ran back to the house to rescue her treasures, but was pulled back by Duan Tingxuan. He shouted angrily, "Are you going to die? You are still thinking about those material possessions. This is thunder and fire. It is a blessing from heaven that I can rescue you. Those things are gone, and I will give you ten times or a hundred times more."
"But I haven't worn that plum blossom hairpin yet. Just... it's gone like this, I can't accept it." Su Nuannuan really liked that plum blossom hairpin. Who would have thought that she had never worn it once, and it was gone like this? It's a national treasure, and it can be placed in a museum in the future. It's enough to be the treasure of the museum.
"It's just a plum blossom hairpin. If you like it, I'll go find the Fourth Prince and ask him to ask the Imperial Household Department to make another one." The Imperial Household Department was the royal government, and even Duan Tingxuan didn't have the power to send him there. But the young marquis had a lot of power and friends, and all of them were extraordinary. Just to get in through this backdoor, he even pulled the Fourth Prince out.
"No need. Like you said, it's a blessing that no one is hurt." Su Nuannuan finally came to her senses and nodded sadly, "It's still dangerous here. Let's take shelter in the yard first. Why hasn't the rain stopped yet? It's so annoying."
"It's much smaller now." Duan Tingxuan said, and led the three women down the stairs. The quilt he was wearing was picked up from the balcony. It was prepared by Su Nuannuan to build a warm cellar in winter, so no one cared about it being exposed to wind and rain. But unexpectedly, it became a life-saving thing today. Otherwise, no matter how powerful the young marquis' martial arts was, he would have been injured after going in and out of the sea of fire.
It was because the rain was light that the fire became more intense. If it had been a downpour before, the fire might not have been able to start. At this moment, several people watched the fire spread to the side rooms, and they couldn't help but feel terrified. Meiyue Tower was located in a remote area, and it was too late to send people to put out the fire. They could only watch the fire continue to devour everything like a demon.
"Ah! There are still those seafood in the kitchen."
The young marquis who had just reprimanded Su Nuannuan for thinking about material things suddenly screamed and ran to the kitchen. After Su Nuannuan was stunned, she didn't bother to laugh at Duan Tingxuan. She threw the fortune in her arms and ran to the kitchen. Honglian and Xiangyun looked at each other: OK! Both masters have bravely stepped forward, what else can they say? Hurry up and follow to rescue the seafood.
Perhaps the heavens could not bear to let these two foodies get too desperate, and finally let them move the several large jars of seafood out before the fire spread to the kitchen. The young marquis once again fully demonstrated his martial arts skills to the three masters and servants. He could carry the large jars filled with water and seafood, which weighed several hundred kilograms, and walk sideways. Su Nuannuan, Honglian Xiangyun and the combined strength of the three of them could not move the jars.
"Experience, this is all experience." Looking at the several large tanks of seafood that were finally saved, Su Nuannuan looked at Honglian and Xiangyun seriously and taught them: "In the future, we must remember that large tanks cannot be placed in the kitchen, but should be placed outside. If something happens, it will not affect the innocent people."
"Okay, you're still concerned about this now." Duan Tingxuan wiped his sweat and panted. Even if he was a martial arts master, he couldn't move more than a dozen large water tanks in one breath. I don't know why the old man put so many water tanks in the kitchen compartment. Was it also for raising river seafood?
"Then what should I care about?" Su Nuannuan looked at the miserable appearance of the scumbag and thought about how he had just saved her regardless of danger. It would be a lie to say that she was not touched. She was not a person who could not distinguish between good and evil, so her tone was rarely calm.
However, Duan Tingxuan showed a wicked smile, and looked back at the house with the roof burnt off. He did not show any expression of regret or sorrow, but said happily: "What do you care about? Is there any need to ask? Do you still want to continue living in Meiyue Tower?"
The touch of gratitude that Su Nuannuan felt for saving her life suddenly vanished. She didn't expect that in the face of the fire, Duan Tingxuan was still planning to earn her back to the backyard, and was so excited about it: "My Lord, this is a fire. No matter how bad Meiyue Tower is, it is still a house in your mansion, right? It was burned like this, and you don't feel sad at all?"
"I'm not heartbroken. As long as you can come back to the backyard and stay with me day and night, what does a mere Meiyue Tower mean to you? I've already restrained myself by not laughing out loud, okay?"
"You...are you still human? Still laughing? There are at least a dozen houses here. Even if you are pretending, you have to pretend to be a little sad, right?"
Su Nuannuan was furious, but saw Duan Tingxuan thinking seriously: "Well, if you are not sad, you are not a human being? You have to pretend, right? Well, I am very sad. There are so many rooms. They are the hard work of my grandfather. Now they are burned... Hahaha, no, I can't pretend. I really think this fire is too good. It must be God helping me. Look, Nuannuan, even God doesn't help you. He thinks you should go back to the backyard. Hahaha..."
"Get out of here." Su Nuannuan was so angry that she kicked Duan Tingxuan on the leg. The young marquis, who was always agile, didn't even dodge. It can be seen how immersed in joy he was at this moment, so that his vigilance to the outside world was reduced a lot.
"Really, Nuannuan, I'm really happy. Anyway, no one is hurt, so what's a few shabby houses?" Duan Tingxuan finally didn't dare to go too far. He stopped laughing after being kicked, but saw Su Nuannuan staring blankly at the burning house, with tears slowly welling up in her eyes. Gradually, the tears condensed into tears, slowly flowing down the corners of her eyes.
“Nuan Nuan…”
The young marquis was stunned. Meiyue Tower was a dilapidated corner of the mansion. No one had ever cared about it. He didn't feel sorry for such a dilapidated place. He thought that Su Nuannuan wouldn't care about it. After all, this woman used to be very extravagant. These dilapidated houses were just tools for her to get angry with him. Now that they were burned down, maybe it was just what she wanted. Then she could go back to the backyard. But he didn't expect to see her crying like rain at this moment. How could Duan Tingxuan not be surprised?
This call made Su Nuannuan unable to hold back her sadness any longer. She cried out "wow" and squatted on the ground, holding her head and crying. Her crying made Honglian and Xiangyun sad, and the young marquis was at a loss. His heart, which had always been cold and calm, seemed to ache slightly.
"Don't cry, Nuannuan." Duan Tingxuan stepped forward and pulled Su Nuannuan up, his voice gentler than ever before.
"I was hoping to live a carefree life here forever, but now it's all gone, everything is gone, wuwuwu..."
Su Nuannuan was really sad. Meiyue Tower was a run-down place in the eyes of everyone in the Marquis' Mansion, but in her heart, it was the only paradise that belonged to her in this strange fictional era: here, she could live a carefree life and dream without restraint. But she didn't expect that God would be so cruel that he would take away the only piece of pure land that belonged to her. She didn't want to go back to the backyard of the Marquis' Mansion and fight with those women for favor and intrigue. She really didn't want to. She just wanted to be a quiet foodie.
"Nuannuan, the old must go before the new can come, this is your motto." Duan Tingxuan comforted his heartbroken wife. The rain stopped at some point, making Su Nuannuan, with tears on her face, even more charming.
"What do you mean? Will you help me rebuild Meiyue Tower?" Su Nuannuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and she looked at Duan Tingxuan with hope.
"Okay!" Duan Tingxuan blurted out as if bewitched. But he immediately realized that something was wrong: letting Su Nuannuan return to the backyard, wasn't that what he had been looking forward to? How come God had finally given him the opportunity, but he was so stupid as to push it away? Duan Tingxuan, Duan Tingxuan, are you crazy?
As soon as he thought of this, the young marquis hurried to make up for his loss before Su Nuannuan could jump for joy, and said seriously: "That's impossible."
"What do you mean?" The smile that had just bloomed on her face froze, and Su Nuannuan looked at Duan Tingxuan angrily: "Are you kidding me?"
