Chapter 59 – Vent The Evil Prince and his Precious Wife The Sly Lady (1/2)

His arm made a vicious swing towards Ye Yichen. A powerful energy emanated from the movement and passed though Ye Yichen’s defences. It resulted a long, thin cut that extended from the back of his hand to his elbow. Blood was pouring out from the cut, staining his sleeve.………..

“Ye Yichen, you are not fit to lecture Xue!” Ouyang Shaochen’s clear voice pierced the air, arousing Ye Yichen’s anger.

Ye Yichen’s expression turned stoned-cold, “If not I, then who? I am the legal future husband of Murong Xue and everyone in Jing City knows that!”

“You publicly shamed her by demeaning her into a concubine. Because of that, she became a laughing stock to people. And to force her to remain as your concubine, you put her in peril by destroying all the fire lotus seeds you could find. She could’ve died without those during her attacks! When the carnivorous flower struck her, you did not even ask about her well-being, you were tightly holding another woman. How can you be fit to be her future husband?” Ouyang Shaochen was looking at Ye Yichen with contempt.

“This is my business; you do not have the right to question it!” Ye Yichen’s voice was icy, his eyes held a dangerous gleam: When Murong Xue extended her arm towards the carnivorous flower, he was about to stop her but at that time, Qin Yuyuan was tightly holding onto his arm, he couldn’t stop her on time…….

“I do not give a damn about your business! But you had involved Xue!” OuYang Shaochen glanced at Qin Yuyuan, “King Jing had only stopped teaching you a few years ago and now you’ve gone and fallen in love with this woman. Your taste is beyond atrocious. If King Jing hadn’t made the move to engage you with Xue, there wouldn’t have been any ties between you two……”

Qin Yuyuan’s face turned into a shade whiter than pale. Beneath her sleeve, she curled her hand tightly into a fist.

Ye Yichen’s face turned livid with anger, “Ouyang Shaochen, don’t you bully others in this!”

“Me? Bullying?” Ouyang Shaochen smirked ever so slightly, but it had shown enough sarcasm:

“Ye Yichen, the reason why we are ‘flirting’ because she is hurt and I’m tending to her wound. As to why she got hurt, it was to rescue you! If her hand hadn’t bled, how would you two still be standing here, unharmed?”

“It’s fine if you don’t thank her for her actions, but yet instead, you chose to lecture her. This character of yours is so dreadful that no one dares to even point it out…”

Ye Yichen’s face darkened to a dangerous shade of murder, enunciating every word, he spoke, “Yu Yuan does not know how to defend herself, I had to protect her. Regarding Xue….”

“Xue has me. Next time, you need not worry about her business. You need only cleanly break off the engagement.” Ouyang Shaochen said icily.

He then turned around to face Murong Xue and gently he spoke, “The sky has darkened, let’s find some place to rest.”

“Alright!” Murong Xue nodded and started to leave: The sun was already below the horizon, it was quickly getting dark. They had walked for two or three hours, endured two battles and were exhausted. They indeed needed to find a safe haven to rest.

OuYang Shaochen walked side-by-side with Murong Xue, his arm gripping on her shoulder to support her. The sight of that made Qin Yuyuan boiled thick with jealousy and hatred: She was just someone who was abandoned by Ye Yi Chen, how could she have found so much favour in OuYang Shaochen? This wasn’t the way it should be…….

A faint smell of blood roused Qin Yuyuan to her senses, she looked at the long cut on Ye Yichen and was filled with the need to care for him, “Yichen, your wound seems really deep….”

“It’s nothing, don’t worry about it. Let’s also find somewhere to rest for the night.” Ye Yichen calmly replied.

He gazed at the quickly disappearing Ouyang Shaochen and Murong Xue with an expression that was unreadable.

Murong Xue and Ouyang Shaochen followed a small path and emerged from the tall grass to find a small stream ahead. The stream gurgled with crystal clear water. The area was filled with flat patches of grass and flowers which swayed with the wind. It was an enchanting sight.

There was a clearing beside the stream which was ideal for a resting place. Wu Heng was responsible for collecting firewood while Xun Feng went to catch some fish.

Ouyang Shaochen guided Murong Xue to sit on a big rock. He then took out a white bag filled with water and gave it to her.

“Drink some water.”

“Thank you!” Murong Xue smiled and took it from him: She hadn’t had any water for about two or three hours, she was indeed thirsty.
