A man's pained cry came.
"With your looks, you still dare to force yourself on someone?"
The clear and melodious voice of a young girl rang out in front of her. Only then did Luo Feiyan slowly open her eyes.
What came into view was the back of a young girl in red gauze.
Tang Qi was even more displeased when he saw his business being disrupted.
What kind of world was this? Even every Tom, Dick, and Harry dared to meddle in his affairs?
"Who are you?"
"Who are you?"
"How dare you meddle in the affairs of this young master?"
"Isn't that exactly what I'm doing?"
Tang Qi conjured a weapon made of spiritual power in his hand. It was a long spear, which seemed to be quite powerful.
"Perfect. Another one has come. It's been a long time since this young master last enjoyed the company of two beauties at the same time. You're in for a treat today."
Zhao Shuning found the lewd words from the man in front of her extremely annoying.
"Pretty girl, let me—"
"Ah!"
Before he could finish his sentence, the whip conjured by Zhao Shuning's spiritual power had already lashed across Tang Qi's face.
The bloodstains left by the whip appeared.
Zhao Shuning's sudden attack not only caught Tang Qi off guard but also greatly surprised Luo Feiyan behind her.
She had never seen such a girl before.
She would attack before finishing her words.
"How dare you hit the young master of Dongzhou? You commoner."
"Stop being so wordy. I've already hit you. What's the point of saying such nonsense?"
Tang Qi stared in disbelief. In the next instant, Zhao Shuning had already appeared in front of him.
Such a fast speed.
Who on earth was this woman?
Zhao Shuning suddenly grabbed Tang Qi's wrist and twisted it half a turn in the opposite direction. With a cracking sound, a blood-curdling scream echoed through the forest.
Many birds in the forest were startled into flight.
"You, you barbaric country woman!"
"You're still so talkative."
Zhao Shuning exerted force with both hands. Tang Qi quickly summoned his spiritual power. Zhao Shuning also reacted immediately upon sensing Tang Qi's spiritual power.
The two spiritual powers collided in mid-air. In just a split second, the outcome was decided.
Tang Qi's spiritual power rebounded and backfired on him.
He let out a muffled groan and spat out a mouthful of blood.
This woman was so powerful.
So far, she was the person with the strongest spiritual power he had ever encountered. Even his elder brother probably wouldn't be able to withstand ten moves from her.
"You really think that wherever you go, everyone will fawn on you?"
Zhao Shuning turned around.
At this moment, fear once again appeared on Luo Qi's face.
Zhao Shuning quickly softened her expression.
This was the real "Luo Qi", someone she couldn't afford to offend.
"Miss, I, I—Ah—"
Luo Qi let out a pained cry and found that her dislocated jaw had been set back in place by the young girl in front of her with bare hands.
"You? Why did you?"
"Don't be afraid. I won't harm you."
Zhao Shuning smiled warmly.
She reached out her hands to Luo Feiyan and said, "Look at this beauty. She's been hurt so badly by these villains."
This beautiful face was now swollen and red. And her arm would surely leave a scar in the future.
"Why did you save me?"
Luo Feiyan asked timidly.
She didn't dare to look into Zhao Shuning's eyes.
It was obvious how many cold shoulders she had endured and how much bullying she had suffered in the past month.
Zhao Shuning gently reached out her hand. Before she could even touch Luo Feiyan, she saw the fear and evasion in her eyes.
Zhao Shuning smiled brightly.
Her eyes were filled with starlight.
Luo Feiyan was entranced.
Such beautiful eyes.
"Don't worry. I won't hurt you."
Luo Feiyan momentarily forgot to react. The young girl's hand gently caressed her face. Before long, the pain on her face actually lessened a lot.
"You, how dare you touch me? Who, who are you?"
Tang Qi behind them got up.
Zhao Shuning was stunned for a moment.
This Tang Qi was really tenacious. Even in such a state, he could still stand up. He was really a cockroach that couldn't be beaten.
But the annoyance in her eyes was only momentary.
Luo Feiyan looked at her worriedly.
Zhao Shuning's heart softened.
How could she let the beauty worry like this?
Luo Qi was a legendary figure in her heart. Even a frown from her would make Zhao Shuning feel guilty.
"Don't be afraid. I'm here."
Whenever she faced Luo Feiyan, Zhao Shuning's attitude would become extremely gentle. She smiled sweetly, making it easy for people to forget that she was the one who had just knocked Tang Qi to the ground with a single move.
Luo Feiyan's eyes also began to soften.
In front of this young girl, she actually felt an unexpected sense of peace.
"Be good. Wait for me."
Zhao Shuning gave Luo Feiyan a sweet smile.
Luo Feiyan's heart skipped a beat. It was as if something had fallen.
Watching the back of the young girl, Luo Feiyan's heart began to beat rapidly.
The young girl was free-spirited and unrestrained.
She could be gentle, spicy, strong, or weak.
Luo Feiyan truly admired the young girl in front of her.
She tightened her grip on her clothes, which smelled of gardenias. Luo Feiyan looked up at Zhao Shuning and smiled.
"Okay."
A beauty was truly a beauty. Even a single word from her made Zhao Shuning feel extremely enchanted.
"So good."
Zhao Shuning smiled and turned around, looking at the man opposite.
Tang Qi's previously arrogant demeanor began to falter when Zhao Shuning turned around.
He still tried to persuade the woman in front of him.
"Do you know Luo Feiyan?"
"No."
"Then why did you save her?"
"Because I like her."
Hearing this, Luo Feiyan behind them tightened her hands. A sweet feeling actually welled up in her heart.
This encounter with Tang Qi had dealt a heavy blow to Luo Feiyan's heart. Even hundreds of years later, the things she had experienced by the river had not faded.
"Miss, do you know that Luo Feiyan has offended not only Dongzhou. If you meddle in this matter, you will surely not end well in the future."
Zhao Shuning pondered for a moment.
Tang Qi thought his persuasion had worked.
Luo Feiyan looked at the young girl, and anxiety also appeared in her eyes.
Indeed, this was a messy situation. The people she was facing were not small figures. It was already extremely difficult for the young girl to step forward and save her in her moment of crisis.
If she offended Dongzhou and the Tianli Kingdom for her, it really wouldn't be a worthwhile trade.
Even if the young girl backed out now and didn't stand by her side, Luo Feiyan wouldn't blame her.
"Miss, you don't have to—"
"Your injuries weren't caused by this brat alone, were they?"
Luo Feiyan was stunned for a moment and then nodded.
"I knew this brat didn't have that much ability. Don't worry. I'll help you get back all the grievances you've suffered and the justice you deserve."
"You—" Aren't you leaving?
The person opposite was the young master of Dongzhou, and there were even other hidden forces. Wasn't the young girl afraid? Why was she willing to confront two great kingdoms for her?
Luo Feiyan's eyes were slightly moist.
Even her own biological father had never treated her this well.
