Rumor Has It That I'm Pregnant with His Highness' Child

251 Hug

Xiao Juan raised the No Return Saber and aimed it at the scar-faced man’s neck.

It looked like he was prepared to kill him with one strike.

Lo Pingsha hurriedly called out to him.

“Your Highness, spare him!”

Xiao Juan paused.

He looked up at Lo Pingsha coldly.

Although he usually had a cold countenance, it did not scare Lo Pingsha. This was different. Lo Pingsha was constantly warning himself in his heart to be careful of the man in front of him. He was very dangerous!

Lo Pingsha broke out in cold sweat and spoke with difficulty.

“Your Highness, leave him alive so that we can get the mastermind out of him.”

Xiao Juan’s thin lips moved slightly as he slowly spat out a word.

“Kill.”

Lo Pingsha tried his best to persuade him. “Calm down. Keeping him is more useful than killing him.”

Xiao Juan still said that word.

“Kill.”

His tone was calm and terrifying.

At that moment, he didn’t look alive. He looked more like an emotionless robot who only knew how to kill.

He raised his hand and pierced the scar-faced man’s neck.

The scar-faced man’s eyes widened. His body twitched violently a few times before he stopped breathing.

Xiao Juan pulled out the No Return Saber and walked towards Du Tao.

Du Tao was still squirming, trying to ease the itch by rubbing against the ground.

When he saw Xiao Juan walking over, he hurriedly moved back and shouted in fear.

“Don’t come over!”

Lo Pingsha walked forward and tried to stop Xiao Juan.

Xiao Juan aimed the No Return Saber at Lo Pingsha and spat out a word coldly.

“Kill.”

Lo Pingsha’s scalp tingled. “Your Highness, calm down. It’s me. I’m Lo Pingsha.”

Xiao Juan was silent for a moment when he heard Lo Pingsha.

Lo Pingsha thought he had calmed down and was about to relax when he heard him say, “Kill anyone who stands in my way.”

Lo Pingsha froze, his face turning even paler.

In terms of martial arts, he was no match for Duke Lang.

If Duke Lang wanted to kill him, he had almost no chance of survival.

Yu Niaoniao could not watch helplessly as Xiao Juan attacked Lo Pingsha.

She mustered her courage and ran over. She grabbed Xiao Juan’s arm and spoke slowly in a sweet voice.

“Baby, stop killing, okay? I’m scared.”

With that, she hugged Duke Lang’s arm tighter, not giving him a chance to swing his saber.

At the same time, she did not forget to signal to Lo Pingsha to run away.

Lo Pingsha hesitated. He was very worried that Duke Lang would be so murderous that he would not even let Yu Niaoniao off.

Xiao Juan stood still. His dark eyes slowly rolled as he looked at the girl beside him. To be honest, his current emotionless appearance was really terrifying.

Yu Niaoniao tried her best to suppress the fear in her heart and smiled sweetly.

“Baby, can you give me a hug?”

Lo Pingsha secretly tightened his grip on the silver needle. As long as Duke Lang wanted to kill her, he would throw out the silver needle. As for whether the silver needle could hit Duke Lang, that would depend on fate.

Xiao Juan still did not move.

But at least he didn’t say “kill” again.

Yu Niaoniao felt that this was a good sign. It meant that her wheedling was still effective on him.

She hugged his waist and buried her face in his chest.

“Baby, let’s go home, okay?”

She was only that strong, and Xiao Juan could easily break free.

But he didn’t move. He just stood there.

He could feel the warmth of her body and the softness of her cheek against his chest.

After a long time, he spoke slowly.

“Niaoniao…”

Hearing him call her name, Yu Niaoniao was delighted. She hurriedly looked up and saw a little light in his eyes. It was no longer dark.

She knew that he had regained his senses!

Yu Niaoniao was extremely excited.

...

She was scared out of her wits just now!

She thought he would kill her when he went crazy!

Xiao Juan raised his hand and placed his palm on her head, rubbing it gently.

“I’m sorry. I must have frightened you.”

He knew what he had just done and was terrified. Fortunately, he woke up in time. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Yu Niaoniao originally did not want to cry, but when she heard this, she felt a lump in her throat and tears immediately fell.

She hugged Xiao Juan and cried, “Wuwuwu, you scared me to death just now!”

Xiao Juan felt very guilty. He didn’t know how to comfort his little princess, so he handed her the No Return Saber.

“Why don’t you cut me to vent your anger?”

Yu Niaoniao cried even harder. “Are you scaring me again?”

Xiao Juan hurriedly wiped her tears. But because there was blood on his hand, the wipe only made her face dirtier.

...

Yu Niaoniao did not know and was still crying.

“Can you stop scaring people like that?”

Xiao Juan promised seriously, “Yes!”

Yu Niaoniao held back her tears slightly. “Also, don’t leave me alone again. Even if there’s danger, I can bear it with you.”

Xiao Juan’s heart softened.

“Alright, we’ll bear it together.”

Yu Niaoniao said, “Hug.”

“Okay. Hug.”

Xiao Juan hugged her tightly as if she was the most precious treasure in the world.

The couple hugged for a long time before separating.

Xiao Juan turned around and saw Lo Pingsha.

“Why are you still here?”

Lo Pingsha was speechless.

“Then I’ll leave?”

Although he knew he was killing the mood by standing here, he had to remind them.

“There’s also Du Tao here. What should we do?”

At this moment, the itch on Du Tao’s body had eased a lot.

He began to plan what to do next.

He had made up his mind.

No matter how the Eagle Guards interrogated him later, he would insist on not confessing.

In any case, Duke Lang did not have any real evidence to convict him.

Xiao Juan seemed to have seen through Du Tao’s plan and said coldly.

“Let’s go to the Eastern Expedition Army camp.”

Yu Niaoniao asked, “Is it through the secret passage?”

Xiao Juan said, “No, we’ll use the main entrance.”

Du Tao was overjoyed when he heard this. He was worried that he would not be able to escape. When he returned to the camp of the Eastern Expedition Army, he would be able to order his soldiers to take down Duke Lang.

As for the reason, he had already thought of it. He would say that Duke Lang and the others had murdered Tang Pei!

Because he had something to look forward to, Du Tao did not do anything else and appeared especially well-behaved.

Lo Pingsha grabbed the back of Du Tao’s collar and dragged him out like a dead dog.

Outside the courtyard, Shen Xu and the others saw Duke Lang come out and immediately took a few steps back in fear.

Yu Niaoniao hurriedly said, “His Highness is fine.”

Everyone looked over and saw that Duke Lang had already put away his saber. He did not look so scary anymore.

Only then did they lower their guard and let out long sighs of relief.

Prince Min said awkwardly, “I’m sorry. We made a fuss.”
