Chapter 45 This madness is unique to the Empress…
Fu Yun paused, glancing down at his right shoulder. Out of the corner of his eye, he vaguely saw half a silver-white iron piece. The blade gleamed coldly in the light, like frost in winter, chilling and sharp.
Fu Yun frowned slightly and asked in a cold voice, "Who is it?"
The other party snorted coldly, his tone mocking: "To remain so calm even when disaster strikes, you've got some nerve."
Fu Jun was puzzled. The voice sounded unfamiliar to him. What was his purpose in suddenly taking her hostage?
"Are you robbing me or is this a personal vendetta?"
There was no response from the person behind her. Just as Fu Jun was wondering what was going on, she said, "You..."
He suddenly felt a slight rustling sound of clothes fluttering behind him, followed by a light poke with a fingertip on several acupoints on his neck and body. After that, his limbs stiffened and he was unable to move.
The words he was about to ask were all stuck in his throat.
Fu Yun: "..." Well! Now there's no need to say anything more.
After restricting Fu Yun's movements, the person behind him removed the sword and began to walk slowly. His gaze remained fixed on Fu Yun, sharp as a blade, as if he wanted to pierce a hole in him.
It wasn't until the person walked up to Fu Yun that Fu Yun could see clearly that the person in front of her was wearing a white cat mask, had a tall and slender figure, wore a dark blue robe with a belted waist, had her hair tied up in a bun, and had a chilling killing intent in her eyes, yet also faintly revealed a strange emotion completely different from the killing intent.
Fu Yun couldn't figure out the person's purpose for a moment, so she could only observe him expressionlessly.
The person in front of me was tall and slender, and judging from his clothes and the way he tied his hair, he was dressed like an ordinary man.
But in a matriarchal society, only women are allowed to practice martial arts, so could this person be a woman disguised as a man?
However, the person in front of her was tall and slender, half a head taller than Su Fuyun, and lacked the curves typical of a woman, with a flat chest, which was really not in line with the identity of a woman.
Fu Yun was also confused for a moment, unable to tell whether this person was a woman disguised as a man or not.
Just as he was wondering what was going on, he saw the other person sway, then be struck on the back of the neck. His vision went black, and he was instantly plunged into darkness, losing consciousness in an instant...
Fu Yun slowly woke up from her coma. When she opened her eyes, she saw unfamiliar red curtains and was momentarily disoriented, not knowing what day it was.
He stared blankly at the bed curtains for a while, his thoughts gradually returning, and he remembered that on his way from the martial arts arena to the shop, he had been kidnapped in a small alley.
My current situation is the same as before I was knocked unconscious. Except for my eyeballs, which can move, my limbs are still stiff and I can't move my whole body. I can only lie stiffly on the bed.
"Little Bus, where is this?"
[In an inn.]
Where are the people who took me hostage?
[She's sitting by the window!]
What exactly is he trying to do?
I don't know, this plot point wasn't in the original book.
Fu Yun: "..."
Is this another one of those ridiculous hidden plot twists?
[Probably, maybe!]
Fu Yun: "..." I'm so tired!
Just a few days later, he was kidnapped again. Is he destined to be kidnapped?
"Do you know whether the person who kidnapped me is male or female?"
[I'm sorry, Mr. Fu, I can't tell either; this person wasn't mentioned in the original book.]
Alright! We're at a loss now, let's just wait for them to make their move!
"Da! Da! Da!"
They sensed that someone was awake, and footsteps could be heard inside the room.
As the footsteps drew closer, a person wearing a white cat mask appeared beside the bed.
His sharp, piercing gaze fell condescendingly on Fu Yun's face, staring at her coldly for a long while before he crossed his arms and spoke arrogantly: "I've heard that you're extremely eloquent and persuasive, able to command others' obedience with just a few words. But now that you're in my hands, what good are your silver tongue? I naturally have ways to leave you speechless."
Fu Yun looked at him expressionlessly, finding the man utterly inexplicable.
However, one thing is worth noting is that this person said something behind me earlier, so the voice was not very clear.
Now it sounds much deeper and richer than a melodious female voice, leaning towards a clear and mellow mid-low range, a voice unique to a young man, perhaps only two or three years younger than Su Fuyun.
Fu Yun racked her brains for a long time, but couldn't recall ever seeing this person before.
Just as Fu Jun was pondering, the masked man suddenly sat down by the bed, then raised his left arm and gently stroked his right cheek, his misty eyes revealing an unfathomable gloom.
The cool touch on her cheek immediately gave Fu Yun goosebumps.
No, why does this feel so creepy? Could this kid be some kind of skinning criminal who enjoys peeling people's skins?
At this moment, the other person suddenly lowered down and slowly approached Fu Yun, gritting his teeth as he whispered in his ear, "Young Master Su, you've been having a good time lately! Everyone's completely smitten with you, aren't you quite pleased with yourself?"
Fu Yun was speechless: "..." What on earth is wrong with him?
A sharp pain suddenly shot through the tip of my ear; it was clear that someone had bitten me with their teeth.
Fu Jun's brows furrowed suddenly, and a surge of anger ignited in his heart. If he could speak, he would definitely teach this arrogant brat a lesson. He's not even fully grown yet, and he's already acting like a crazy, paranoid idiot.
"Just wait! When I'm fully grown, I'll make you wish you were dead, and you'll be forced to kneel at my feet like a lowly slave, at my beck and call, and subjected to my wanton humiliation."
Hot breath sprayed into his ear, and Fu Yun was so shocked that his hair stood on end: "?" Is this kid crazy? What kind of nonsense is he talking about?
[Wait a minute! Something's not right! This kid seems to have feelings for you more than just friendship! Look at his eyes, his actions... it's like he both loves and hates you. Could he be an admirer of yours?]
Xiao Ba jokingly said with schadenfreude.
Fu Yun: "..." Are you kidding me?! This guy is obviously a lunatic! He's just a little kid, what kind of infatuation is he talking about!
No, no, no, think carefully. Have you rejected any strange people recently?
Fu Yun stated firmly: "I am absolutely certain that there is no one of this gender."
[I see! That's strange then. Could it be a karmic debt incurred by the original owner of this body?]
Fu Yun said irritably, "That's a question for you! You're the director who has the script."
[This wasn't mentioned in the original book, so I can't provide you with any useful information.]
Fu Jun was speechless and could only sigh inwardly: "I can't speak or move, and I have no way of figuring out this kid's purpose. It's really annoying."
As things stand, he doesn't seem to intend to kill you, or at least he doesn't pose a threat to your life.
Fu Yun: "I'd rather he just give me a quick death and not give me all this nonsense. I'm about to have a heart attack."
Just as Fu Yun was about to lose her temper, the masked man finally sat up straight again, his gaze slowly sweeping over Fu Yun as if admiring a work of art. His palm slowly traced across Fu Yun's chest, then her waist, her forearm, and finally settled on her fair and slender hand.
He slid down his wrist, gently stroking the back of Fu Yun's hand, then slowly slid it to interlock with hers, looking down at Fu Yun with a half-smile: "Do you prefer the servants who linger around you, or the general with the illustrious military achievements, or perhaps the commander of the Imperial Guard?"
Fu Yun: "..." He really went completely mad.
Judging from his tone, it seems he's been monitoring me all along?
The masked man gripped Fu Yun's hand tightly, lowered his head to kiss Fu Yun's fingertips, his movements gentle, but his eyes were filled with ferocity: "But I think they're all too annoying to look at, they make me angry just looking at them. How about I kill them all and bring them to you and me for some entertainment?"
Fu Jun was speechless, his scalp tingling with rage. He felt like he was choking on a mouthful of blood, unable to swallow it or choke on it.
This kid is more than just a lunatic, he's also a gay guy!
What kind of shit have I been dealing with?
"Xiao Ba, hurry up and think of a solution. If this continues, I'll either be driven to death by him or die of anger."
Don't panic, don't panic, help is on its way.
Fu Jun asked, half-believing, half-doubting, "Really?"
【How could I possibly lie to you at a time like this? You can't stand it, and neither can I. This hidden plot seems to be in the wrong movie set, right?】
【wrong……】
Fu Yun: "?"
Just then, the sound of orderly footsteps could be faintly heard outside.
Someone has arrived.
Upon hearing footsteps, Xiao Ba instantly forgot what he was about to say.
Fu Yun couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.
"Mu Xin, I know you're inside. If you hand over Young Master Su, we'll spare your life."
The masked man scoffed coldly, his tone impatient: "I underestimated these lackeys; they reacted quite quickly."
Upon hearing this, Fu Yun's pupils dilated slightly, her eyes filled with disbelief: "What? This young man is actually that bandit leader?"
That slender and tall figure doesn't look like it at all!
In my memory, although she was tall, she was definitely not thin and frail. She was neither fat nor thin, and her feminine features were quite obvious. She was definitely not the flat-chested person she is now. How could the same person have such a big difference before and after?
[So it was her! That explains her strange behavior earlier.]
Xiao Ba was quite moved by this.
Hey! I wasn't kidding you, was I? My savior has arrived!
Fu Yun: "You just said that this character wasn't mentioned in the original book. I'm asking you, isn't that contradicting yourself?"
That slap came so fast, like a tornado.
Fu Yun: "..."
Despite her identity being exposed, Mu Xin wasn't annoyed at all. She looked at Fu Yun and smiled arrogantly: "I didn't expect them to find us so quickly. We didn't even have time to play! What a disappointment."
As she spoke, she suddenly leaned forward and planted a kiss on Fu Jun's cheek with her red lips. Then she said with regret, "I really wanted to take you with me and let them experience the torment of being torn apart. But it's not the right time yet, young man. Wait for me, I will come to find you soon."
Fu Yun: "..."
As soon as Mu Xin finished speaking, he turned and left.
Fu Yun only heard the sound of wood striking each other, and then the room fell silent.
"Mu Xin, a wise man submits to circumstances. You are surrounded. I advise you to recognize the situation, give up resistance, and surrender. If you dare to harm Young Master Su in the slightest, we will spare no effort to tear you to pieces."
Ye Lan's cold, sharp voice came from outside the door again, filled with a sense of oppression.
"Don't waste your breath, just charge in."
A clear, melodious yet sharp voice rang out; it was Zhilan's unique voice.
Fu Yun was startled: "Why is she here?"
