The woman was seriously injured by Mu Qihan's palm strike. Aggravated by Nan Chaoyu's words, she went even more berserk!
She stubbornly tried to charge forward again. "You can't touch my husband! You vicious woman! What right do you have to be a princess!"
Nan Chaoyu stopped in her tracks and stared coldly at the woman rushing towards her.
Before the woman could reach Nan Chaoyu, someone stopped her.
"Princess, please be magnanimous. She's out of her mind. Don't lower yourself to her level."
Saying so, the person dragged the woman away!
They were afraid that Nan Chaoyu would be annoyed by this woman and abandon them.
Seeing this, Nan Chaoyu dispersed the spiritual power in her hand. Without a word, she walked back to Mu Qihan, took out hemostatic powder from her bosom, and applied it to Mu Qihan's wound.
Mu Qihan wanted to say that he could do it himself, but seeing Nan Chaoyu's expression, he swallowed the words.
For some reason, he had an intuition that it was better not to provoke her at this moment!
The moment this thought flashed through his mind, Mu Qihan couldn't help frowning.
This feeling again, as if he knew this girl very well?
But they had only known each other for a few days, right?
Could it be that, as she said, they knew each other before?
What exactly was the memory he had lost?
Nan Chaoyu was concentrating on dressing the wound, but her heart was in turmoil.
Mu Qihan had forgotten their past memories. The way he looked at her was like looking at a stranger. It was impossible for her not to feel hurt!
That's why she addressed him as Young Master Mu. Besides being afraid that he would be reluctant to be estranged from her, wasn't it also a reminder to herself?
But when he had blocked the dagger regardless of his own safety this time.
It made her remember that in the fire back then, he had also saved her without hesitation!
Clearly, nothing had changed!
Each with their own thoughts, the atmosphere fell silent. Only Nan Chaoyu was concentrating on dressing the wound.
"All done. Don't let the wound get wet. You have to stay by my side until the wound heals. Your subordinate..."
Nan Chaoyu originally wanted to ask where Xiao Tian had gone, but then she remembered that there were still people in Wuxiang City who wanted to harm this young master in the secret realm. So she decided, "Forget it. I'll take care of you."
Mu Qihan knew what she was thinking. He shook his head. "Xiao Tian won't betray me. It's too much of an indignity for you, a princess, to take care of me."
Nan Chaoyu pouted and muttered, "You weren't this polite before. You used to order me around whenever you got the chance!"
Although her voice was soft, Mu Qihan heard it clearly. His heart skipped a beat. He raised his eyes to look at Nan Chaoyu and asked seriously, "Miss Nan, did we really know each other before?"
"..." Nan Chaoyu was blocked by his serious look. She felt a breath stuck in her chest and glared back at him.
Mu Qihan was a bit confused and was waiting seriously for her answer.
"Master Mu, don't tell me you think I've been deliberately approaching you these days under the pretext of being an old acquaintance?"
Wasn't it?
Mu Qihan shifted his gaze uncomfortably. Although he didn't say it explicitly, his expression told Nan Chaoyu that was exactly what he thought.
Nan Chaoyu didn't expect him to think like this. In his eyes, all her actions these days had made her look like a scheming woman deliberately approaching him?
For a moment, she was so angry that her eyes turned red. She glared at Mu Qihan hatefully and turned around to leave!
She had been looking for him since her rebirth and had been worried about him. She had really wasted her good intentions on a heartless man!
"It would be better to feed it to a dog than to him!"
Mu Qihan saw her red eyes but she stubbornly turned her head and walked away. He immediately panicked.
He quickly followed up. Hearing this sentence, he paused.
She still had this unforgiving temper!
The thought flashed through Mu Qihan's mind, and the corner of his mouth curled up involuntarily.
But in an instant, the smile froze.
This familiar yet strange feeling emerged again!
This was the first time so many unexpected emotions had appeared in him. It seemed that he really knew this princess before!
Thinking of this, Mu Qihan shook his head resignedly. He caught up with Nan Chaoyu and grabbed her with his uninjured hand. "Miss, I was impolite."
Hearing the address "miss", Nan Chaoyu got angry. She turned her head, wanting to vent her anger.
But seeing his injured hand, her momentum weakened.
Forget it! Who asked him to have lost his memory?
She said in a somewhat low tone, "What do you want?"
Seeing that she stopped, Mu Qihan let go of her hand and took a step back. "I thought too much and misunderstood you. Since you and I are old acquaintances, I'm sure you won't mind."
Nan Chaoyu felt a little unhappy when he distanced himself from her. Hearing his words, her eyes rolled.
On one hand, he said she was deliberately approaching him. On the other hand, he used the old acquaintance relationship to get closer.
He really was as sly as ever!
But she just didn't want to let him have his way. She took a step forward, stood in front of him, and tilted her head slightly.
"If you're so polite, why did you hug me in the secret realm? Or do you test every girl who deliberately approaches you like this?"
Thinking of this, Nan Chaoyu narrowed her eyes.
Judging from this man's defensive nature, there must have been many girls approaching him before!
But with a face prettier than most girls, it was no wonder!
Mu Qihan also thought of what had happened in the secret realm. But could he admit that it was out of mischief that he wanted to see how shy this girl was but still flirting seriously?
No!
So, Young Master Mu instantly resumed his cold and aloof image. He slightly raised his chin, showing Nan Chaoyu a perfect jawline, and said in a deep voice, "This is my own business. Since you claim to be my old acquaintance, I don't need to test you anymore."
After a pause, he added, "You know I've lost my memory. No matter what our relationship was before, for now, we're just strangers."
When Nan Chaoyu heard him start speaking, she knew he wouldn't say anything nice. But hearing this sentence, her heart sank.
Just strangers?
Mu Qihan felt the person in front of him hold their breath. His heart ached, and he also felt uncomfortable. He quickly said, "What we need to do now is to get out of here. Everything else is my private matter!"
Although Nan Chaoyu knew that he was drawing a clear line with her, he didn't immediately turn his back on her. She felt a little better!
But the words "private matter" stuck in her mind.
Mu Qihan didn't know at this moment that he had just stirred up a huge jealousy.
He suddenly remembered, "You fell into the spiritual lake in the secret realm. How did you get out?"
At that time, he only remembered that after she fell into the spiritual lake, he felt absent-minded, as if he was about to lose something very important.
In a daze, when he woke up, he was on a boat.
He even forgot how he got out of the Soul-Swallowing Sea Secret Realm!
