The Eldest Princess, anxious and urgent, asked, "How is she?"
The servant quickly replied, "The Commandery Princess has been rescued and is clamoring to see you now."
Upon hearing this, the Eldest Princess finally relaxed and turned to Jun Moling, saying, "Moling, you go back to the mansion first. I need to visit the nunnery and see her."
Jun Moling looked at the strands of white hair at her temples, and a wave of pity surged in his heart. He said softly, "Aunt, why don’t you bring Cousin back? But make sure she doesn’t act recklessly again."
The Eldest Princess, overwheld with emotion, grasped Jun Moling’s hand tightly and said, "Moling, thank you. I will personally bring her back.
She is paralyzed now, and I promise she won’t act recklessly again."
"Yes, Aunt, but once she’s back, you must keep a close watch over her. If she dares to harbor any ill thoughts against Ruoxi again, then forgive for being ruthless," Jun Moling said with a determined look and serious tone.
The Eldest Princess nodded repeatedly, "Rest assured, I must go quickly now."
Jun Moling nodded, gesturing farewell, and returned to the mansion.
Once ho, he relayed the matter to his wife, Shen Ruoxi.
Shen Ruoxi remained indifferent and said calmly, "Cheng Caiyun is already crippled, what storm can she stir? Even if she’s still unwilling to give up, I have no fear. In the dictionary of my life, there’s no such word as ’fear.’"
Jun Moling held her hand tightly, comforting her, "Don’t worry! I just see Aunt aging, with white hair already at the temples. You know she only has one daughter, the cousin.
But I have explained clearly to Aunt, if she continues to cause trouble, I will not be rciful."
Shen Ruoxi nodded, then said, "Alright, I have sothing to discuss with you."
Jun Moling sat up straight, "What is it?"
Shen Ruoxi spoke gently, "Zhen’er has gone back to her hotown and asked you to send soone to take care of her businesses."
At the ntion of Ning Zhen, Jun Moling beca indignant and said angrily, "Wife, I will not send anyone."
"Husband, do you want my businesses to collapse?" Shen Ruoxi frowned slightly.
Hearing her words, Jun Moling felt a bit pleased, "That would be great; if the businesses collapse, I will support you. Do you think I can’t support my own wife?"
"Who would be against money? Letting the businesses fail? Be quick, and getting along with Ning Zhen might help a lot, reducing our losses." Shen Ruoxi was serious and insistent.
Jun Moling was stunned at first by her words but soon grasped the deeper aning, after pondering for a while, he said softly, "What you say makes sense. If she has returned, I think she needs soone to provide protection."
Shen Ruoxi agreed with his words, knowing that ever since Ning Zhen’s father passed away, their enemies hadn’t shown up, but it didn’t an they had given up on those interests. Being cautious was never wrong.
"What you say is very true, protection in the dark is good. If she has uncovered any clues, it might attract enemies." Shen Ruoxi’s eyes showed worry and caution.
Jun Moling nodded heavily, responding, "Alright, leave it to ."
Shen Ruoxi nodded slightly, understanding that she had selfish motives. But she thought, if a person doesn’t care for themselves, heaven and earth will erase them, everything she was doing was to protect her husband and this warm family.
anwhile, Xing Yuan heard that Ning Zhen planned to go back to her hotown and was silent for a long ti. Ning Zhen was carefree, granting him freedom directly, "You may stay and not co with , or stay here, or leave, as you are free."
Xing Yuan was taken aback by her words. He wasn’t unwilling to leave, but deep down, he found an attachnt to Ning Zhen.
However, it seed to him that Ning Zhen only regarded him as a lover, a companion, and this acknowledgnt left him feeling both disappointed and uneasy.
He thought of himself as a Young Master of the Demon Sect, soone who once commanded wind and rain in the world.
To hone his skills, he had entanglents with many won, enjoying their company but remaining unattached.
Yet unexpectedly, he found himself subdued by Ning Zhen. Her attitude towards him was sothing he really couldn’t make peace with.
"What am I to you, really?" Xing Yuan couldn’t resist, finally asking the question buried deep in his heart.
Ning Zhen was surprised by the question too and took a long ti before she replied slowly, "I have made mistakes, once intervening in another family, back then I really didn’t think I was wrong until it caused a lot of trouble, then I realized how wrong I was.
Shen Ruoxi saved my life, so if you want revenge, I will help Shen Ruoxi. Not leaking information to her is already being fair to you.
Between us, it’s just mutual needs. I no longer believe in love, wanting people here to practice monogamy like us is simply impossible.
Since I can’t find single-mindedness, I act as I please. If I et soone suitable, we stay together, if we grow tired, we separate. As long as I can have a fixed partner and not cheat or look for more, it’s already upholding my moral bottom line.
"So, you are always free. I’m returning ho, you can co with , or stay at the other courtyard, or leave."
Xing Yuan’s eyes darkened instantly, a fierce energy bursting forth, he gritted his teeth and said, "You know who I am, killing you is as easy as lifting a finger. I only abandon others, no one abandons first, Ning Zhen, don’t provoke , or we’ll die together."
Ning Zhen, having martial arts skills, though not as impressive as Shen Ruoxi or Jun Moling, still possessed the sensitivity to perceive the strength of opponents’ martial arts.
Previously, Xing Yuan’s martial arts were only slightly better than hers, but now, she could clearly sense that his martial arts had beco fathomless.
She did not understand why he had improved so rapidly during this period, but she could guess that he might have been internally weakened before due to injuries, and now he had recovered to his peak state.
Ning Zhen smiled faintly, "To be honest, I’m really not afraid to die, otherwise I wouldn’t be with you.
Don’t try to scare , I find being with you quite pleasant, and people just pursue that feeling. As for feelings, I’m sorry, I can’t provide them."
Xing Yuan felt a wave of frustration. She’s right, she has never feared death; since the first ti he kidnapped her, she had shown no fear, even overpowering him.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a bit heated, irritated at himself for being so easily swayed by her allure; whenever he thought of her body, he couldn’t control himself.
"Do you an you’re tired of ?" Xing Yuan knew he shouldn’t place himself in such a humble position, but he knew deep down that it was he who couldn’t leave her now.
Ning Zhen recalled his prowess in bed. Truth be told, not even Xiao Chengyi could compare.
She shook her head lightly, "No, we are still very compatible. I just wanted to know your thoughts."
The look in Xing Yuan’s eyes was deep. He was burdened with avenging his father’s death, with Shen Ruoxi still alive, and the Demon Sect in others’ hands, he had many important matters to deal with, matters of the heart were not what he ought to be pondering now.
Yet he didn’t know why, but when he thought of having no further ties with her, it seed those grudges beca unimportant.
Xing Yuan gazed complexly at Ning Zhen, thoughts swirling.
He tried to calm himself, to refocus his mind on revenge and reclaiming the Demon Sect, but Ning Zhen’s radiant face was sothing he couldn’t let go of.
