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

217 Unparalleled Hero

Qian Jiu first looked down at the steamed bun by his feet, then looked up at Shen Xu’s flat chest.

He was initially incredulous, then badly shaken, and finally angry and twisted.

“Are you a man?”

Shen Xu raised his chin. “Aren’t you talking nonsense?”

Qian Jiu roared, “Then why are you wearing female clothes?”

Shen Xu could not expose the fact that he had exchanged identities with Duke Lang and his wife, but he could not think of a suitable reason for the time being. He might as well give up.

“I like it! Can’t I?”

Qian Jiu was almost crazy.

He had taken a huge risk to get a woman back. He thought that she would be a high-quality product that could be sold for a high price. He did not expect her to be a man!

Qian Jiu stepped on the steamed bun and cursed angrily.

“What’s wrong with you? How can a grown man wear women’s clothes and deceive others!”

Shen Xu did not back down. “You’re the one who’s blind. How dare you blame me? If you have time, go find a doctor to take a look at your eyes. Otherwise, you’ll harm others in the future!”

Qian Jiu grabbed his collar. “Do you believe that I’ll kill you now?!”

Shen Xu was still very afraid of death. Seeing the fierce glint in the other party’s eyes, it was obvious that he really wanted to kill him. He immediately admitted defeat.

“Big Brother, let’s talk nicely. If you kill me, it won’t end well for either of you. Why don’t you let me go now? As long as you let me go. I’ll let bygones be bygones and pretend nothing happened.”

Qian Jiu laughed in anger.

“Please get this straight. You’re the one who has no end now. Since you’re not a woman, you can’t be sold for money. What I can’t sell for money is trash. Trash has to be disposed of.”

Shen Xu immediately said, “As long as you return the steamed buns to me, I can continue to pretend to be a woman.”

Qian Jiu did not want to waste any more time on this weirdo. He still had to think of a way to deal with the upcoming situation. His superiors had instructed him to find a few good people recently. He originally thought that the mission could be completed, but he did not expect that the person he kidnapped was actually a pervert.

In the end, it was all for nothing.

Qian Jiu was furious.

He drew a dagger with a glinting its blade.

“Don’t you like to wear female clothes? I’ll send you to hell now. When you’re a woman in your next life, you can wear female clothes as you please.”

Shen Xu was shocked. “You can’t kill me! I’m the heir of Prince Min’s Mansion!”

Qian Jiu sneered. “If you’re the heir, I’ll be the king!”

With that, he placed the dagger on Shen Xu’s neck and prepared to slit his neck.

This scene frightened the girls in the cell. A few of the timid ones cried out.

Yu Niaoniao was also anxious.

Why weren’t Duke Lang and the Eagle Guards here yet?

If they didn’t come, Shen Xu’s life would be lost here!

Yu Niaoniao gritted her teeth. She could not let Shen Xu die here.

From the looks of it, she could only expose her identity and show that she was a woman. She had the value of being sold to divert Qian Jiu’s attention and stall for time to save Shen Xu.

She shouted at Qian Jiu next door.

“Wait a minute! Don’t you want women? I am… ”

Before she could finish, she heard someone stagger into the dungeon, shouting at the top of his lungs.

“Ninth Master, something bad has happened. The Eagle Guards have found this place! Those brothers outside have been destroyed. We can’t stay here anymore. Let’s run!”

Yu Niaoniao’s words spun in her throat, suddenly becoming imposing.

“I am your ancestor!”

Shen Xu, who had already collapsed in despair, instantly revived on the spot.

He laughed out loud. “Qian Jiu, you scumbag, you’re dead meat!”

Qian Jiu was incredulous. Thinking he had misheard, he hurried to the door and asked the man who had come to report.

“What did you just say? How did the Eagle Guards find us here?”

“I don’t know either. They suddenly appeared and killed many of our brothers. I had risked my life to come here to report. Those Eagle Guards are not human. They are ruthless and murderous If we fell into their hands, we would definitely be better off dead. Master Nine, let’s escape before they find this place!”

Qian Jiu looked back at the girls in the cell with a fierce glint in his eyes.

“They’ve all seen me. They can’t be left alive. Kill them all.”

Hearing this, Yu Niaoniao was shocked.

She immediately leaned over the small window and shouted outside.

“Your Highness! Help! We’re here!!!”

She remembered that Xiao Juan’s senses were abnormally sharp. He could hear voices far away. If he’d been nearby, he would have heard her. It turned out she’d gambled right.

In the next moment, Xiao Juan appeared at the end of the corridor, followed by the heavily armed Eagle Guards.

They headed straight for Yu Niaoniao.

Yu Niaoniao looked at them as if she was looking peerless heroes. They were simply too dashing!

She put her arm out the window and pointed next door.

“The bad guys are next door. Catch them before they get a chance to kill anyone.”

...

Qian Jiu saw that the situation was bad and asked someone to close the door. Unfortunately, it was useless.

Xiao Juan used his internal energy to kick open the cell door.

The girls in the cell hugged their heads and cried in horror. Only Shen Xu was laughing.

“You’re finally here, haha!”

In the next moment, Qian Jiu’s dagger was pressed against Shen Xu’s neck.

That cold and dangerous touch made Shen Xu’s scalp tingle, and his laughter stopped.

Qian Jiu threatened Shen Xu loudly in front of him.

“If you take another step forward, I’ll kill this kid!”

Xiao Juan said expressionlessly, “If you kill him, you won’t live either.”

Qian Jiu said, “Even if I let him go, I won’t live!”

Xiao Juan said, “Then you can die together.”

...

Qian Jiu did not expect such an answer and was momentarily at a loss for words.

Shen Xu was furious. “Cousin, we’re family. How can you treat me like this?”

Xiao Juan said, “When you called me a heartless beast in the past, you never thought that I was your cousin.”

Shen Xu choked.

After a while, he argued weakly, “You can’t blame me. Everyone in Imperial Capital is scolding you. If I don’t scold you, it’ll make me seem unsociable.”

Xiao Juan said, “I really can’t blame you back then, but you can’t blame me now.”

Shen Xu choked again.

Qian Jiu finally realized that the hostage in his hand did not seem to be very useful.

But at this point, he could not find any other hostages who were more useful.

He could only bite the bullet and try to wake the other party’s conscience.

“You’re brothers, after all. You can’t just watch him get killed, can you? You’re not that cold and heartless, are you?”

Xiao Juan replied calmly, “Not only am I cold and heartless, but I’m also inhumane. Everyone knows about this.”
