Chapter 91 [VIP] Shadow Guard (5)
When Nan Yan was finally willing to let go, Ying Shiqi almost fled away like a wolf.
He said he wanted to check the corner again to see if there were any subtle marks left by the Shadow Guard Building. Maybe he could still contact them.
Of course this is just an excuse.
The real reason was that Seventeen found that something was wrong with his body, as if he had a fever, and the fever was getting worse and worse. Whenever Nan Yan touched him, he would have an inexplicable impulse to go over and smell the warm breath from her lips and teeth, to have her rub against him, to press her under him and kiss the delicate and soft skin on her neck hard, and then do what he wants.
The thought really frightened him.
Seventeen's face turned red.
There was only one thought in his mind, which was to escape from here! Far away, otherwise he really didn't know what stupid things he would do.
But before that, Seventeen was considerate enough to settle Nan Yan in a deserted, remote temple to prevent anyone from noticing, and he also covered the door with a layer of dense weeds.
After doing all this, Seventeen hurriedly left the ruined temple and hid alone in the depths of a distant stream. He hid in the deepest place and no one noticed him.
He then covered his chest, as if he was suffocating, and tugged at the collar of his shirt, causing it to open slightly, revealing the wound inside that had been bandaged by her before.
Seventeen looked at the bandage and thought of the lingering fragrance on it. He lowered his head as if possessed by a ghost, and carefully put his nose close to it, sniffing it gently like a thief.
The smell was actually very faint, but it was still smellable. It was the faint fragrance emanating from the master's body when he pounced towards him.
As Seventeen smelled it, he inexplicably felt hot. He didn't know why, but the nameless impulse in his chest not only did not dissipate, but it became even bigger, as if a fire suddenly ignited in his body, burning him all over and making him unable to vent it.
And this discomfort was accompanied by a strange itching feeling, a feeling I had never experienced before. This feeling was so unfamiliar.
Inexplicably, it reminded him of a certain early morning when he was woken up by the heat. After waking up, he found that his penis was a little messy and he thought it was his... (I didn't write anything). Because he was too embarrassed, he didn't dare to tell anyone about this. But after that, he never dared to drink water before going to bed every night, for fear that he would accidentally do the same thing again.
The feeling now was so similar to that time, so similar that even though he didn't understand anything, he still felt embarrassed, his face flushed (it was really nothing) and he clenched his fingers, but he didn't know what to do?
So I subconsciously lowered my head and saw, (really nothing) and then stared at the slightly raised part of my body, completely stunned.
On the other side, Nan Yan temporarily hid alone in the ruined temple. Apart from some cobwebs and dust, there was nothing unsafe here. After all, the two of them were running for their lives, so they shouldn't be too ostentatious, otherwise they would be chased and killed again, which would be troublesome.
I don't know how long I waited. When Nan Yan heard the noise coming from the door again, she thought that the other person had finally come back. Without thinking too much, she quickly opened the door and went to meet him. Then she threw herself into the arms of the person who came, complaining and shouting,
"Seventeen, why did you come back just now? I've been waiting for you for a long time. Where did you go secretly, leaving me here alone?"
"Seventeen?"
Ye Qiu followed suit subconsciously.
He was suddenly embraced by Nan Yan, and he didn't have time to dodge. However, after hearing what she said, he knew that he had found the right place. "Fourth Miss, you have recognized the wrong person. I am not Ying Shiqi. I am Ye Qiuchen, the new shadow guard assigned by the Shadow Tower. I have come to take you back."
"Ye Qiuchen?"
When Nan Yan heard the sound, she realized something was wrong.
She subconsciously raised her head and saw clearly that the person in her arms was not Seventeen, but Shadow Guard Ye Qiuchen, whose clothes and accessories were very similar to Seventeen's. She was immediately surprised, "Why is it you? Where is Seventeen? Where did he go?"
Nan Yan naturally recognized Ye Qiuchen as well.
He is also the killer of Shadow Guard Building.
In the original story, he was a shadow guard to protect her third brother, but in this story, Ye Qiuchen's life is not very good, it can even be said to be very miserable.
In the original plot, Third Brother Ye is vicious, outspoken, and very pleasure-seeking. He has no mercy on his half-brothers and sisters, let alone the servants. He hardly treats the servants around him as human beings, especially the shadow guards, whom he kills and plays with at will, just like chickens, ducks, cats, and dogs.
He even built a zoo in the secret department of the Shadow Building, raising all kinds of ferocious beasts in the zoo. He also liked to throw all his servants into the zoo to fight with the beasts, and only those who survived were qualified to become his shadow guards.
Ye Qiuchen had suffered many serious injuries and endured many hardships because of this. It was precisely because of this that he hated Shadow Guard Tower, Qixia Villa and everyone in it so much.
Later, during one of his trips, Third Brother Ye was retaliated against and seriously injured. During his escape, due to the disparity in strength, the guards around him were killed one by one. Originally, Ye Qiuchen tried his best to save him, but not only was he ungrateful, he pushed Ye Qiuchen out to block the attack.
It was fortunate that Ye Qiuchen was not doomed, as he survived the fall after being stabbed several times and sliding down the hillside. However, Third Brother Ye accidentally broke his leg while escaping, and was eventually caught up by a group of killers. Ye Qiuchen hid in the dark, watching him being hacked to death one by one, and an inexplicable sense of pleasure arose in his heart.
It turns out that the high and mighty masters would cry like ordinary people when they were slaughtered. This was the first time that Ye Qiuchen felt endless hatred in his heart. That idiot was even worse than them. The way he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy was really ridiculous!
Afterwards, Ye Qiuchen returned to the Shadow Guard Building and reported the truth about the people being hunted, but he concealed the truth about not helping the dying man. He was also severely punished with two hundred lashes in the Punishment Building for failing to protect his master. On the day the punishment ended, his entire back was beaten to pieces, and he was covered in blood and couldn't even stand steadily. His face was as pale as paper, and he almost lost his life.
But he gritted his teeth and held on, because only by enduring could he survive, and now he is alive.
But now he still needs to make amends for his crime, and coming here to pick up the fourth young lady is his current task.
However, when Ye Qiuchen looked at the many members of the Ye family in Qixia Villa at this time, his mentality had undergone some subtle changes. He even had a hint of hatred towards them in his heart. He felt that his life had become so miserable because of them. He did not think that they were superior to others, nor did he think that he was born to work for them.
If he is given the opportunity, he can definitely do better than them and go further than them.
…
To be honest, Nan Yan could actually understand his vengeful mentality and his desire to climb up the social ladder.
Especially at the end, when he joined forces with the male protagonist to destroy Qixia Villa, she did not feel too much resentment. Instead, she thought it was good that such a filthy place was destroyed.
After all, everyone longs for freedom, and the original owner was a weak person who had been imprisoned and had no choice.
But when he became the next owner of Shadow Guard Building and tasted the benefits of power, his mentality changed completely.
Swinging his sword at the weaker ones does not satisfy his vengeful heart; he is simply being sadistic.
His final act of attacking and retaliating against those innocent women in the Ye family was even more difficult for her to accept.
Ye Nanyan in the original text was just a chess piece. The biggest difference between them was their identities. Ye Nanyan had never hurt anyone, and even asked someone to call a doctor for him when he was injured. But her mistake was that she should not have been born in Qixia Villa and should not be the daughter of the owner of the Villa, Ye.
But this identity did not bring her any benefits. Instead, it was a lifelong confinement. She spent her whole life exchanging interests for Qixia Villa. If the Gao family had not been wiped out in the beginning, she would even have to marry a dying old man as a stepmother. She finally escaped from this hellhole with her beloved, but was caught again in the end. She was obviously a pitiful person, but the final ending was the most tragic.
…
Nan Yan exclaimed in surprise, and quickly loosened her collar, which she had been holding tightly to. She also glanced behind him several times, and when she saw that there was indeed no one following her, she raised her head to look at him.
"Why is it you, Seventeen?"
Ye Qiuchen said calmly, "I didn't see Seventeen on the way here. I saw the mark he left on the wall, so I followed him all the way here."
"Then what are you doing here?" Nan Yan asked again.
Ye Qiuchen then looked up at her and continued, "I am here to take the young lady back. The owner heard that the Gao family was destroyed and the young lady disappeared the day before her wedding, so he specially ordered me to come and find out the news. If the young lady is still alive, I will take her back."
After he finished speaking, Nan Yan immediately understood, and a look of enlightenment appeared on her face, "So you came here because you saw the mark left by Seventeen."
She breathed a sigh of relief, took a few steps back and continued, "But I can't go back with you now. Seventeen hasn't come back yet. I have to wait for him here."
Ye Qiuchen frowned unconsciously when he heard this. He was a man who had to redeem himself for meritorious service, so naturally he wanted to complete the task as soon as possible. However, he didn't expect that the fourth young lady would not want to go with him. If he delayed, wouldn't he be punished again when he returned?
He thought for a moment and continued, "Don't worry, young lady. I will leave a sign of the Shadow Guard Building here. When Seventeen comes back and sees the sign, he will naturally understand where you are going. He can also catch up with you immediately, so there will be no delay."
Nan Yan shook her head at him, looking unhappy, "No, I promised Seventeen that I can't leave here casually. I won't go with you."
Ye Qiuchen had never seen such a stubborn master before, and he felt a little impatient. He let out a breath and suppressed his emotions. He continued to persuade, "But on the way here, I saw many beggars in the crowd asking about the young lady's whereabouts. Maybe the killer who wiped out the Gao family before has caught up with us. If we don't leave as soon as possible, it will be dangerous."
"Then I can't leave Seventeen alone. He doesn't know about this yet, and he's injured. I don't know if he'll be in danger if he runs into them."
As she spoke, her tone seemed a little anxious. She turned around and hid in the ruined temple again, her eyes still searching around cautiously, fearing that she might see any strange figures.
Ye Qiuchen immediately looked at her strangely, still respectful on the surface, but full of ridicule in his heart, "But how can Seventeen's status be compared with that of Miss?"
"Of course the master's safety is more important!"
Nan Yan didn't even look at him and continued to refute, "No, I won't go with you. Anyway, no matter what you say, Seventeen is as important to me in my heart."
Ye Qiuchen suddenly fell silent for a moment after hearing this.
His eyes fell on Nan Yan who was not far away. Seeing her dirty appearance, he didn't have any special feeling in his heart. However, after hearing what she said, he had a different impression of her.
He didn't know whether what she said just now was sincere or false. But whether it was true or false, it had nothing to do with him. After all, he was not her shadow guard.
Ye Qiuchen thought about this and suddenly chuckled. No one knew what he was laughing at. Anyway, he took a few steps forward and walked right in front of Nan Yan. His attitude was still respectful, "It's not up to you, Miss, to decide."
"I am here to take you back, young lady. I cannot leave you here alone. As for Seventeen, he will come to look for you when he returns."
Nan Yan stepped back subconsciously when she saw him approaching, with annoyance flashing in her eyes, "What do you want to do? I've already said I won't leave, do you dare to attack me?"
"I dare not. I am only here to take you back."
"You said you didn't dare, who told you to touch me? I've already said I'm not leaving, let go!"
"I really have no ill intentions. I am just following orders. Please don't make things difficult for me, young lady."
Ye Qiuchen stretched out his hand and grabbed Nan Yan's wrist. Nan Yan was unable to dodge and because of inertia, she uncontrollably crashed into the other person's arms. This caught Ye Qiuchen off guard. He originally planned to knock the person unconscious and carry her back...
But Nan Yan struggled too hard, her fingers kept waving, and she poked his eyes several times, which made Ye Qiuchen unable to subdue her for a while. He simply imprisoned her in his arms and held her tightly. After all, she was the master, and he couldn't really do anything to her.
Nan Yan was still struggling, her face flushed with anger, her eyes full of anger and grievance, "Bullshit! It's obviously you who are making things difficult for me. I've already said I won't leave, why do you insist on taking me away? Seventeen, Seventeen, come and save me, there are bad guys bullying me, Seventeen..."
As she spoke, she began to call Seventeen's name, each voice sounding more aggrieved than the last. Originally, Seventeen was calmly rushing back here on the road, but when he heard the crying and shouting coming from the ruined temple, his face suddenly changed. He didn't even see who the person holding Nan Yan was, and he just chopped at him with his sword.
Fortunately, Ye Qiuchen reacted in time, pushed Nan Yan away with his backhand, and jumped to avoid the attack. However, when he saw who was behind him, his face became a little grim.
"Ying Shiqi, what are you doing?"
Ye Qiuchen turned around and questioned Seventeen.
If he hadn't dodged quickly, he would have been killed. When did this guy become so cruel to his companions?
Shiqili over there ignored him. He put his arms around Nan Yan's waist and held her in his arms. He rubbed her forehead lightly with his chin, with a soothing look on his face, as if he was holding a lost treasure that had been found again. His strength was so strong that even Nan Yan felt a little pain in her waist.
He wasn't very good at comforting people, but when he heard her cry for help, he was so nervous that his heart almost jumped out of his chest.
His palm subconsciously placed on her back and patted it gently.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."
When Nan Yan heard the sound, she knew someone was supporting her waist. She simply buried her head in Shiqi's chest, rubbed her cheek against his neck, and began to cry and complain.
"Seventeen, it was him. He was the one who bullied me..."
After hearing this, Seventeen finally saw her appearance clearly. She looked like someone who had been bullied. Her eyes were slightly red from crying, her hair was untidy, and even her collar was torn, revealing her fair skin...
When Seventeen saw it, his expression suddenly turned extremely ugly.
His lips were pursed tighter.
As soon as he thought that his master was completely seen by the man opposite him, for a moment, a murderous intent suddenly surged in Seventeen's heart.
He drew his weapon almost subconsciously, and his two eyes shot out like sharp arrows in the direction of Ye Qiuchen, and then without saying a word, he launched another wave of attacks with an expressionless face.
"You bullied her!"
Seventeen was really angry this time, angrier than ever before. He didn't even know what was wrong with him, especially when he saw Nan Yan looking so badly bullied, he was so angry that he wanted to kill the person opposite him with a knife.
Ye Qiuchen knew something was wrong when he saw the look on his face!
He subconsciously retorted, "I didn't."
But the other party obviously didn't believe it, because the sword had already come towards him. It was simply unethical!
He was clearly here to take Ye Nanyan back to the villa, so why would they fight with him? If they delayed the mission, both of them would be in trouble.
Ye Qiuchen also had a temper, and this man started to attack without saying a word, which made Ye Qiuchen very angry, but he was no match for him, so he could only dodge the attack while trying to explain, "Ying Shiqi, don't forget that I am also from the Shadow Guard Building. What are you doing now? I came here to pick up the fourth lady. I can assure you that I definitely did not bully her!"
As if the situation was not chaotic enough, Nan Yan fanned the flames with a hint of mist in her eyes and sounded extremely aggrieved. "Nonsense! Seventeen, don't believe him. He bullied me. He really bullied me! He just touched me, touched my waist..."
As soon as she said this, Seventeen's attacks became more fierce, and his eyes became colder and colder. If he wasn't still injured, he would have broken both of his hands today!
He didn't even dare to touch the lady's waist.
How dare this bastard offend her? !
Seventeen felt that he was getting angrier and angrier.
Ye Qiuchen on the other side really couldn't understand, when did this guy become so unreasonable? He had never been so cruel during the fight in the Shadow Guard Building before.
Even if he became the shadow guard of the Fourth Young Miss, he would not be so ruthless. He obviously came here to protect the Fourth Young Miss. What's the matter with him suppressing her now?
"Ying Shiqi, are you crazy?"
"I've already said it, this is all a misunderstanding. I didn't mean to offend Miss Four. She just did it herself..."
Really, it would have been better if he hadn't explained. After his explanation, Seventeen really didn't even have the last bit of mercy left.
"Can you please say that again?" He clenched his knuckles.
Ye Qiuchen was also annoyed, "It's the same no matter how many times you say it! I've already said it, I haven't offended her."
"Why didn't you push her away?"
"Why would I push her away? I came here to pick up the Fourth Young Miss. Ying Seventeen, have you forgotten your identity? The Fourth Young Miss is the master, and you are so nervous about her. Do you have any plans for the master?"
The last sentence really touches my heart.
Seventeen clenched his weapon tightly, his moves became more and more fierce, and his attacks became faster and faster. Ye Qiuchen's arm was scratched several times. In the end, the two of them fought from inside the house to outside, and the movement was so loud that even this small broken temple was almost overturned.
In the end, both of them suffered a lot of injuries and had to stop because of exhaustion, but even so, they still glared at each other fiercely.
