When Chu Mo heard Shen Yun say this, he couldn't help but curl a wicked smile at the corner of his mouth. This dog of a man is really shameless. He's gotten used to calling her that and actually thinks Ning Yin is his wife.
She now increasingly wanted to teach Shen Yun a lesson, to let him know that a woman like Ning Yin was not someone he could covet.
Thinking this, Chu Mo drew a silver whip from his waist and casually flicked it to the ground. With a snap, it landed steadily at Shen Yun's feet, raising a cloud of dust.
"Heh, since General Shen says so, then I shall presume to overstep my bounds today. If General Shen can defeat me, I will acknowledge that you are worthy of Miss Ning. Otherwise, there is no woman I cannot obtain!"
Upon hearing this, both Shen Yun and Ning Yin were astonished. Ning Yin looked up at Chu Mo, and Chu Mo met her gaze, giving her a barely perceptible smile.
His handsome, youthful appearance and upright, pine-like figure were in no way inferior to Shen Yun before him.
If Chu Mo hadn't been a woman, the King of Chu would probably have valued her highly. Ning Yin thought to herself that saving Qing'er back then was indeed a wise move.
Now that she and Xiao Xuan are in the enemy country's palace, they are fortunate to have Chu Mo's help, which ensures that their plans will go smoothly.
Ning Yin was lost in thought, while the two of them were already eager to try, especially Shen Yun, whose eyes were filled with a frighteningly strong hostility after being provoked like this.
Shen Yun placed his hand on the sword at his waist, a clear look of disdain on his face.
If he couldn't beat Xiao Xuan, that would be one thing, but the woman in front of him was weak and helpless, and all she had was a mouth.
He originally disdained to compete with a woman, as that would be beneath his dignity.
But after witnessing Chu Mo's extremely ambiguous gaze and arrogant tone, he could no longer suppress his urge to teach Chu Mo a lesson.
She's just a pawn used by the King of Chu to conquer cities and territories. Even if I accidentally hurt this woman later, the King of Chu probably won't blame me.
He is now the First-Rank General of the Cavalry of Chu, and everyone has to show him respect. For example, the commander of the Imperial Guards last night was subordinate to his power.
Shen Yun made a mental assumption, then sneered and slowly drew his long sword from his waist, pointing it at Chu Mo.
"Your Highness, it was you who provoked and insulted my wife first, so I will have to offend you. If I hurt you later, please don't blame me."
Shen Yun thought that by making things clear beforehand, he could rest easy.
Before he finished speaking, the silver whip suddenly danced like a dragon, carrying a sharp aura. All that could be heard was the whooshing sound of the wind. Shen Yun hurriedly dodged to the side, but was still struck on the arm by the whip. Instantly, blood seeped from his arm.
Chu Mo made another move, whipping the whip several meters away, as if it was about to wrap around Shen Yun's arm. Shen Yun almost lost his grip on his longsword, and before he could dodge, Chu Mo kicked Shen Yun to the ground.
Shen Yun felt his heart tremble violently, and the pain was almost unbearable.
Seeing that Chu Mo was about to continue his attack, he quickly stood up, supporting himself with his longsword.
"Hehe, it seems this general should use his trump card to show you how powerful he is!"
Shen Yun recalled his previous battle with Xiao Xuan, in which he lost because he had held back too much, giving Xiao Xuan an opportunity to take advantage. Now that he had encountered such a shameless person again, he no longer wanted to hold back.
Shen Yun rushed forward in one stride, his long sword flashing like lightning as it swiftly sliced across Chu Mo's shoulder. But Chu Mo knew that if she wanted to make Shen Yun suffer today, besides giving him a good beating herself, she also needed to get the King of Chu to punish him.
After all, the King of Chu still needs his help. Moreover, how could the King of Chu tolerate a foreign official daring to openly injure his daughter in the harem just because he has some power given to him by the King of Chu?
The imperial authority, after all, would not tolerate any outsider challenging it.
Chu Mo wanted the King of Chu to punish Shen Yun, so she could find a reason to expel Shen Yun and Ning Yin from the palace. This way, it would be easier for Xiao Xuan to rescue them from outside.
Her mind has always been shrewd and cunning. In just a few minutes, she had made all the predictions and planned everything, just waiting for Shen Yun, this fool, to fall into the trap.
"General Shen's martial arts are nothing special after all. Does he really deserve the title of General of the Cavalry? I think the young lady would be better off following this prince than with such a good-for-nothing who is not worthy of the title!"
After Chu Mo finished speaking, he gave Ning Yin an ambiguous look. These words undoubtedly reignited the flame in Shen Yun's heart.
The ferocity in Shen Yun's eyes vanished instantly, replaced by an intensely red killing intent.
He even thought that although it was difficult to deal with this androgynous creature inside the palace, he had plenty of ways to make Chu Mo disappear suddenly outside the palace.
Shen Yun gritted his teeth and angrily swung his sword, each move aimed to kill.
Seeing Chu Mo retreating step by step, almost unable to hold on, Ning Yin hurriedly tried to stop him, but Shen Yun seemed not to hear her and continued to press forward, crushing her all the way to the vicinity of the artificial hill.
Behind the artificial hill was a huge lake. Shen Yun seemed to be in a bloodthirsty rage, and just then, a bright yellow imperial carriage came from the opposite direction.
The King of Chu, holding a folding fan, could hear the violent clanging of weapons clashing in the distance.
Occasionally, a few sparks could be seen flashing in the air. The King of Chu squinted and looked over again, just in time to see Shen Yun gritting his teeth and swinging his sword at Chu Mo.
Chu Mo seized the opportunity, exposed her arm, and with a blink of an eye, she was touched by Shen Yun's sword. Finally, she took a slight step back and fell directly into the bottomless lake.
Chu Mo's servants quickly surrounded him, shouting, "Something terrible has happened! General Shen has killed the princess! Someone come quick!"
Ning Yin hadn't expected that Shen Yun would actually hurt someone, and she rushed over worriedly. Looking towards the lake, she saw several eunuchs had already jumped in to rescue the person.
Ning Yin turned around and glared fiercely at the already deranged Shen Yun, who was still tightly gripping the blood-dripping longsword in his hand.
At the same time, the emperor's carriage arrived beside them. With a shout from the eunuch, Shen Yun finally came back to his senses from his previous frenzy.
Turning his head, he saw the King of Chu with a gloomy face. He quickly got out of the sedan chair to check the situation on the lake. When he saw that the eunuchs had already pulled Chu Mo out of the water, he breathed a barely perceptible sigh of relief.
The King of Chu shifted his gaze from Chu Mo and swept it coldly over Shen Yun, who was still holding a long sword. The murderous aura in his eyes seemed to want to tear Shen Yun to pieces.
"General Shen, are you planning to kill my own daughter?"
Shen Yun was startled by the authoritative voice and quickly dropped his sword, kneeling on the ground.
