If it were a man standing here today, he might have softened his heart. Unfortunately, the person standing here today is Qu Qingxi, Ren Nuanyun's enemy.
When the Crown Prince saw Ren Nuanyun come out, he immediately put on a distressed expression and went forward to support her, saying, "Why did you come out? You should rest now."
Then she looked reproachfully at Chunyi, who was standing to the side, "What are you doing? It's so cold outside, and you still called your young lady out. What if she gets sick from the cold wind?"
Chunyi felt wronged. She didn't want to come out with Ren Nuanyun, but Ren Nuanyun forced her to. What could she, a mere maid, do?
"And where is Chunxin? Where did she go? Why isn't she here?" The Crown Prince saw that Ren Nuanyun only had Chunyi by her side, and he immediately became angry again.
“Chunxin said she was tired, so she went to rest early.” Ren Nuanyun glanced at the Crown Prince with a slightly aggrieved look, taking the opportunity to sow discord between him and the Crown Prince.
Seeing this scene of mutual affection between the two, Qu Qingxi was speechless. Ren Nuanyun really knew how to pretend to be a good person. However, even if she couldn't kill Ren Nuanyun today, Qu Qingxi was determined to skin her alive and teach her a lesson.
Qu Qingxi walked slowly toward the group. The Crown Prince and Ren Nuanyun were startled and instinctively pushed the people next to them away. The eunuch and Chunyi next to the Crown Prince were pushed toward Qu Qingxi.
The Crown Prince tried to take Ren Nuanyun away, but before they could turn around and take two steps, Qu Qingxi flew in front of them. The Crown Prince turned his head instinctively and saw that the eunuch and Chunyi were lying on the ground, their fate unknown.
"What exactly do you want to do?" The Crown Prince was extremely panicked, but he still subconsciously stood in front of Ren Nuanyun, wanting to protect her.
Seeing this touching scene, Qu Qingxi smiled sarcastically. Qingzhu is still lying in bed. Even if her body recovers in the future, she will still have many scars.
If someone hadn't discovered the fire in time and extinguished it today, those nine people there would probably have lost their lives on the spot. How innocent they were!
Doesn't the Crown Prince like to be a hero? Fine.
Qu Qingxi stepped forward directly. The Crown Prince originally wanted to put up a fight, but with his mediocre skills that were only good for showing off, he seemed to have almost no effect on Qu Qingxi.
Qu Qingxi stepped forward and grabbed the prince by the neck, staring coldly at the person in front of her. The prince was terrified when he saw the person in front of him. He had never been so close to death before. Looking at the person in front of him, he felt that he would be strangled to death in the next second.
The figure before him resembled a vengeful demon from hell, ready to take his life at any moment.
Ren Nuanyun, who was standing to the side, was also frightened by the scene before her. She frantically pleaded with the system in her mind, "System, quickly think of a way to save the Crown Prince! This person is going to kill the Crown Prince!"
The system calmly replied, "Host, don't worry. The Crown Prince is the male lead; he won't die easily."
"Not easily killed?" Qu Qingxi also heard this.
Qu Qingxi shifted her grip on the Crown Prince, so the Crown Prince must be similar to Ren Nuanyun, the kind that can't be killed.
However, the system only said that death would not be easy, but did not say that injury would not occur.
Qu Qingxi stared at the person in front of her and curled her lips. She released her right hand, and the prince fell to the ground due to gravity. Qu Qingxi then kicked the prince more than a dozen times, specifically targeting places that hurt a lot but did not break bones.
It wasn't that Qu Qingxi couldn't bear to part with the prince's bones, but rather that she couldn't bear to part with her own feet; her feet were very precious.
The crown prince had already covered his head with his hands, curled up in a ball, and kept dodging Qu Qingxi's feet.
After a while, Qu Qingxi took two steps back and saw that the prince's originally blue clothes were almost entirely covered in white footprints.
Looking at the marks on the prince's clothes, Qu Qingxi even doubted that the soles of her shoes must be perfectly clean at this moment.
Having punished the Crown Prince, Qu Qingxi turned and walked towards Ren Nuanyun.
The crown prince, who had just been protecting Ren Nuanyun, was now lying on the ground, groaning in pain, and had no regard for Ren Nuanyun at all.
"What are you going to do?" Ren Nuanyun subconsciously stepped back, looking at the person in front of her in horror. Although she knew she wouldn't die, she couldn't bear it if the person in front of her beat her like a prince.
"System, think of something quick, think of something quick, she's coming!"
[Host, please don't panic. If anyone threatens your life, the system will activate emergency measures to punish the person who harms you.]
"Then how can we punish her?" Ren Nuanyun was terrified, but the person who came was walking very slowly, each step feeling like a trampling on her heart.
Qu Qingxi did this on purpose. Death itself is not scary, but the wait before death is absolutely terrifying.
The system will monitor the host's body. If the damage inflicted on the host reaches 30%, the system will electrocute the host upon contact.
Hearing this, Ren Nuanyun breathed a sigh of relief. 30% didn't sound like a high percentage; it meant that if the other party hurt her, they would be punished.
Qu Qingxi stepped forward and slapped Ren Nuanyun hard across the face twice. At the beginning, Ren Nuanyun had sent many assassins to kill her, and she hadn't returned the favor to them yet.
Ren Nuanyun had never been treated like this before, and she collapsed to the ground in an instant.
At the same time, a notification sounded in the system: [The damage to the host has reached 20%.]
Qu Qingxi sneered, then squatted down and looked at the disheveled Ren Nuanyun. She then quickly reached out and grabbed Ren Nuanyun's neck. Ren Nuanyun couldn't breathe, her face quickly turned purple, and her limbs became weak.
All that could be heard was the system's voice continuously ringing out.
[Damage detected is 25%.]
As Qu Qingxi tightened her wrist, the cold voice rang out again.
[Damage detected: 28%.]
[Damage detected at 30%. Emergency measures to be activated shortly. Countdown: 3 seconds. Three, two, one.]
Just before the countdown ended, Qu Qingxi slammed Ren Nuanyun against the wall. Ren Nuanyun crashed into the wall and then fell to the ground. Her white undergarment was now filthy and she looked extremely disheveled.
[The host has not made contact with the other party and cannot cause harm.] The system's cold voice rang out, but Ren Nuanyun almost vomited blood from anger.
It was just a hair's breadth away, just a second's difference, and the system could have harmed the person in front of him. Why did he suddenly let go?
Ren Nuanyun was filled with resentment. She looked up at the dark figure standing there with hatred. He was so close to being electrocuted. What a pity.
"You ungrateful wretch, how dare you hit me! When the people from the capital arrive, they will tear you to pieces!" In desperation, Ren Nuanyun could only choose to provoke the person in front of her.
