Chapter 85 Woman, you provoked me first, you have to take responsibility!
At this time, the cruise ship slowly stopped, and the surroundings were silent, with only the whisper of waves lapping against the side of the boat.
Lan Xiyue was soaked all over, her clothes sticking to her skin. She shivered with cold when the wind blew. Even though she wrapped herself in the robe that Mo Liyuan had just thrown to her, she was still cold and it only covered her proud figure.
"Well, Your Majesty, please be magnanimous and take me back to the shore. I'm soaking wet and it's really uncomfortable."
Mo Liyuan gently played with the jade-smooth ring with his fingers, his eyes deep, not even looking at Lan Xiyue.
"Lan Xiyue, you haven't answered this king yet, why did you deliberately jump into the lake?"
Lan Xiyue secretly complained in her heart, why is this man so difficult to deal with? Is this going to never end?
Did she really have to tell the truth, that she had deliberately jumped into the lake because she wanted to kill the prince?
The thought of this made her shudder and quickly put this absurd idea out of her mind. The Crown Prince was this stinking man's nephew. If he turned his heart towards the Crown Prince, wouldn't she be walking into a tiger's mouth, courting her own death?
"What? Haven't you figured out how to fool me yet?" Mo Liyuan's tone was filled with teasing and dissatisfaction. His gaze finally moved away from the ring and swept coldly towards Lan Xiyue.
"Your Highness, I... I was just worried about my second sister. I was so anxious that I accidentally fell into the water." After saying that, she lowered her head, not daring to look directly into Mo Liyuan's eyes.
System: "Master, I actually don't think the Regent has much of an uncle-nephew relationship with the Crown Prince, otherwise I wouldn't have told you to be more honest. The Regent should have guessed it was you who was responsible for the Crown Prince's Chinese medicine incident last time, otherwise he wouldn't have said that."
Lan Xiyue thought to herself that what the system said made sense, but this man was moody and unpredictable. If she told the truth, wouldn't she be handing the evidence to others?
"That being said, this man is too dangerous. What if he turns ruthless and brings up old scores? How can a daughter of a marquisate like me fight against a prince like him? My status is suppressed and there's evidence against me. I don't want to take any risks."
System: "Yes, the host is right. It's better to be safe than sorry." This system also relies on the host to earn points, and it still needs to reach the peak, so the host cannot get into trouble.
Mo Liyuan felt a surge of anger when he saw that every word she said to him was a lie.
At the same time, Dongfang Ming, dressed in red, stood tall on the shore with dark eyes, staring at the luxurious cruise ship in the center of the lake in the distance, with complex emotions surging in his heart.
"Young Master, the Great Elder's men have already gone back." Punu reported in a low voice, a hint of urgency in his tone. "If the wizard can calculate the whereabouts of the holy object, the Great Elder will definitely send more people to retrieve it. It will be even more difficult for the young master to obtain the holy object during the day. Why not take advantage of the Great Elder and his men's absence and kill that woman to take back the holy object?"
Dongfang Ming heard this and sneered, "No! That girl is quite skilled and has a close relationship with Mo Liyuan, the regent of Dongyao. My recent investigations have revealed that Mo Liyuan treats her with special affection. We must not act rashly. The Miao region is already in chaos, and it can't withstand a war."
Upon hearing this, Punu scratched his head anxiously, his face filled with anxiety: "Young Master, what should we do? The holy relic is right before our eyes, are we just going to rush about? Young Master has been lurking in Dongyao Country for half a year, and finally discovered the holy relic. If we don't seize it now, when will we? If the Great Elder and his men get the holy relic, your status..."
Dongfang Ming glanced at Punu lightly, a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes. "Great Elder? Ha! Punu, you underestimate that little girl. This young master has fought with her before, and she is quite powerful.
But this young master is very confused. Why is my grandfather's ring in the hands of a little girl like her? Since my grandfather passed away, no one knows where his body is!
It was only after the high priest and the wizard jointly calculated that they found out that my grandfather had passed away. This little girl was probably not even born at that time!"
Having said that, a hint of deep thought flashed in Dongfang Ming's eyes.
Punu was also confused and couldn't figure it out.
At this moment, a man in black appeared and half-knelt on the ground, "Young Master, a secret letter!"
Dongfang Ming took the letter, opened it, and a murderous look flashed in his eyes. "Let's go, set off immediately to return to Miaojiang!"
"Yes, young master."
Dongfang Ming gazed at the cruise ship in the distance and whispered softly, "Little girl, we will meet again." After that, he turned around and disappeared on the shore.
On the cruise ship, Lan Xiyue hugged her arms tightly with both hands and paced back and forth on the deck, trying to dispel the coldness around her body by walking.
After walking around for a while, Lan Xiyue finally stopped and her eyes fell on Mo Liyuan, who was sitting there leisurely and contentedly not far away. He sat there quietly, making her hate him to the core.
Lan Xiyue shamelessly moved over and sat next to Mo Liyuan without hesitation. She suddenly said, "Your Highness, I love you!"
Since you won't let the cruise ship go back and let me catch a cold, I can't let myself suffer. I'd rather earn some points and some health points.
System: "One hundred points have been credited!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the air around them seemed to freeze.
Mo Liyuan glared at Lan Xiyue fiercely, his deep eyes flashing with unprecedented terror and anger.
His low and cold voice sounded in Lan Xiyue's ears: "Lan! Xi! Yue!" These three words seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, carrying endless chill.
Lan Xiyue was so frightened that her whole body trembled, and she muttered to herself: How could this guy suddenly become so terrifying? She raised a hand and blinked, trying to ease the atmosphere: "Your Majesty, I'm here!"
Mo Liyuan's expression grew increasingly gloomy, his tone icy and piercing: "Ha! Lan Xiyue, am I here just to help you gain points? What do you think I am?"
Lan Xiyue was shocked and thought to herself, oh no, how did he know how to cheat for points?
"System, what's going on? How did he know how to cheat points?"
System: "This system doesn't know either..."
Lan Xiyue lamented in her heart, it’s over, it’s over, how can I earn points in the future!
Mo Liyuan's eyes were as sharp as torches, fixed on Lan Xiyue's ever-changing face. He clenched his hands into fists, his knuckles turning white from excessive force.
This damn woman, she never loved him!
Although he already knew all this in his heart, when he actually saw Lan Xiyue's expression at this moment, Mo Liyuan still couldn't suppress his inner anger.
He suddenly pulled her over, firmly grasped her waist, and pulled her towards him.
Lan Xiyue screamed, lost her balance in an instant, and sat on Mo Liyuan's legs.
She stared at Mo Liyuan, who was so close to her. "What the hell is going on? Help! My heart is beating out of control!"
Mo Liyuan pinched her chin hard, forcing her to look him in the eye: "Woman, you provoked me first, you must take responsibility!"
Lan Xiyue was a little confused. "What? Responsible? Responsible for what?"
Mo Liyuan's eyes were deep as he leaned forward and kissed her on the lips.
