There was an uproar among the audience below the stage. The madam was extremely shocked, unable to believe that there could be a man so incredibly beautiful.
"Why do you claim he's a man? What if it's just an excuse for you to take him away?" One of the young masters was clearly unconvinced and loudly voiced his doubts.
As soon as he spoke, the others began to make a racket, putting the madam on stage in an extremely awkward situation.
"Gentlemen, please calm down, please calm down." With great difficulty, the madam managed to settle these hard - to - serve guests. She put her hands on her hips, looking domineering.
Puffing out her chest, as if showing her dissatisfaction towards Shu Yue, she said, "Kid, then show us some evidence. Otherwise, why should we believe you?"
"Right, show us the evidence!"
They kept shouting around Shu Yue. But Shu Yue just gave them a cold and icy glance, and the noisy crowd was instantly silenced.
He remained completely unmoved and calm. "I have no obligation to prove it to you. In any case, I'm taking him away."
With an arrogant and cold smile on his lips, ignoring the hostile looks from the entire audience, he carried Shu Yao off the stage.
"Stinky brat, do you think you can just come and go as you please in my place? Boys, stop him!"
The madam roared menacingly. At her command, several bare - chested burly men rushed out from behind the stage.
The originally lively and festive atmosphere was instantly overshadowed by the appearance of these men.
The young masters who had been indulging in the wine and women, along with the beauties beside them, all stepped back.
They were all watching the show with great interest and had no intention of getting involved.
Shu Yue was surrounded. There were five burly men around him, taller and stronger than he was. They had well - defined muscles and looked extremely fierce.
His slanting eyebrows and deep eyes knitted together, showing a glint of cold light. Beneath his seemingly calm exterior, he was unconsciously worried about the current situation.
Under normal circumstances, he would be confident enough to defeat these men.
But now with Shu Yao in his arms, he was helpless no matter how capable he was.
He suddenly wished he had three heads and six arms so that he wouldn't be at a loss in this critical moment.
"Do you want to fight me one by one or all at once?"
"Kid, don't be so arrogant. If you put down this beauty, we'll let you go. Otherwise," the big man with a small topknot on his head glanced in the madam's direction and cracked his knuckles. "We'll carry you out feet - first."
He thought this would scare Shu Yue, but this man just gave a cold and wild smile:
"Sure, I'd like to see how you're going to carry me out feet - first."
Every word he said was full of unyieldingness and arrogance. His heroic eyebrows became even more wild and charming because of this pride.
"Since he's bent on seeking death, don't waste any more words on him. Attack!" The madam was enraged by Shu Yue's arrogance and waved her hand to give the order to all the big men.
Shu Yue's steps faltered. Just as the fists around him were about to land on his face, suddenly a gust of wind blew by, stinging his cheeks.
However, a shrill scream in his ear made him open his closed eyes. He looked up.
What came into view was a graceful figure in snow - white clothes. The white veil fluttered along with her long hair. Her hair was coiled up high in a winding shape, with only a white jade hairpin. Her waist was as slender as a willow, and her shoulders were as sharp as if carved.
Her beautiful and charming eyes were enough to captivate anyone's heart. Although she was extremely charming, there was a hint of coldness in her.
Shu Yue was stunned. Wasn't this the fox spirit Liuli he had saved that day?
Looking at the big men again, he found that somehow one of their hands had been cut off. Blood had stained the red carpet, and they were all rolling on the ground, screaming in pain.
He saw Liuli smiling seductively, but this smile sent chills down one's spine.
"Who dares to hurt my benefactor? You're seeking death." Liuli glanced at the men disdainfully. The entire Yanyun Tower fell into a suffocating silence because of this devilish woman.
The smell of blood in the air made them feel nauseous. After a moment's pause, they all let out shrill screams and fled in a hurry.
The madam was so frightened that her legs were shaking. She opened her mouth wide, pointing at the devil from hell with a trembling finger, but couldn't say a word.
"Let's go." Liuli didn't care at all. She grabbed Shu Yue's arm and, before he could say anything, turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared from the huge Yanyun Tower.
All that was left was a scream that echoed through the entire Yanyun Tower: "Ah!!! Murderer!!!"
The treehouse.
A green mist landed outside the treehouse and transformed into a black - and - white figure.
Facing each other, Shu Yue just said lightly, "Thank you for saving us."
Regarding Liuli, he resented her for hurting his father. But now that she had saved them, he didn't know how to view this fox spirit.
There were good and bad demons, but it was a fate he couldn't control.
At this moment, Liuli shed her fox spirit's cruelty and charm. In front of this handsome man, she was actually a young girl with a budding heart.
"Mr. Shu, you saved me. I should repay you." She lowered her eyes. Her charming face was more beautiful than a flower. Her slender fingers were like jade onions. From the inside out, she exuded a shy and charming aura.
"You've already repaid your debt. We're even now." Shu Yue was about to enter the treehouse coldly when he was grabbed by a slender hand.
"Mr. Shu, are you still angry that I hurt him that day?"
Liuli glanced at Shu Yao in his arms. Her heart suddenly felt blocked. And Shu Yue's coldness made her heart sink.
Shu Yue just turned his head slightly, showing half of his cold and handsome profile. Every word was cold: "Liuli, we've only met once. There's no question of being angry or not. I don't have the right either. You don't need to think too much."
"Anyway, thank you for today." Without any expression, he carried Shu Yao into the treehouse, shutting Liuli out.
Liuli was heart - broken that Shu Yue didn't give her a chance to say anything. At the same time, she unconsciously resented the man who always stood in her way.
Her originally gentle eyes were now filled with a cold green light. Gritting her teeth, she left a sentence: "Shu Yue, I won't give up."
With a wave of her sleeve, she transformed into a green mist and disappeared...
Shu Yue simply regarded Liuli's appearance as a coincidence, just the so - called repayment of a debt of gratitude.
He didn't think much about it and focused all his attention on his father.
Just when he was worried that Shu Yao still hadn't woken up, he finally heard the man groan a few times.
"Dad!" Shu Yue called out happily, but all he got in return was Shu Yao frowning more uncomfortably and writhing his body.
He also noticed that his father's skin, which was originally as pale as snow, was now as red as a sunset and as beautiful as a peach blossom, incredibly beautiful.
Not only his face but also the snow - white skin on his neck was tinged with a pinkish glow.
What was going on?
"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Shu Yue tried to wake him up and stopped Shu Yao from pulling at his clothes with his hand, fearing that he really wouldn't be able to control himself.
