Chapter 202 - 202 Trilateral Love

202 Trilateral Love

There were no relay stations or guest houses in the mountains. There was not even a village to be seen.

They stayed until the sun was about to set.

They still had not found a place to stay. They could only set up camp and plan to make do for the night.

If it were any other time, Shen Xu would definitely complain.

However, he had just obtained a beauty today and was in a good mood. When he heard that he was going to spend the night in the mountains, not only was he not dissatisfied, he even smiled at Duan Nian’er.

“It’s a beautiful sunset out there. Why don’t we go and see it together?”

Although it was a question, he did not ask for her opinion. He pulled her out of the carriage.

Duan Nian’er’s gaze scanned the crowd and quickly found Xiao Juan.

She did not know where she got the strength from, but she suddenly broke free from Shen Xu’s hand and ran toward Xiao Juan without care.

In front of everyone, his woman pounced on another man. This was simply stepping on Shen Xu’s face.

Shen Xu was furious. “Stop right there!”

With that, he strode after her.

At this moment, Yu Niaoniao was talking to Meng Xizhou.

Meng Xizhou had just brought people into the mountain to hunt a few rabbits. He handed the rabbits to Yu Niaoniao and said that it was for her and the Duke.

Yu Niaoniao took the rabbit. “Thank you, then.”

When she heard the roar, she looked at Shen Xu and Duan Nian’er and saw Duan Nian’er rushing in front of Xiao Juan.

Duan Nian’er was like a deer that had lost its way in the forest. Her body could not help but tremble as she looked at Xiao Juan with helplessness.

She pleaded tearfully.

“Sir, please save me and my parents. As long as you can save us, I’ll do anything.”

Xiao Juan was unmoved and said coldly, “Move.”

Duan Nian’er seemed to be clutching at straws. She refused to give up easily.

“My parents and I encountered bandits today and were almost insulted by them. At the critical moment, you appeared in time to save me. You are my hero and the person I admire. From that moment on, I swore to myself that I would follow you forever! I know that you have a noble status. A person like me is not worthy of you. I don’t need a title. I just need to stay by your side and serve you for the rest of my life. Please give me this chance.”

She spoke sincerely and looked at Xiao Juan with deep affection and admiration.

She saw that Xiao Juan was standing still. Although he did not react, he did not refuse.

Hence, she mustered her courage and wanted to reach out to pull Xiao Juan’s sleeve.

Seeing this, Shen Xu, who was following closely, was immediately exasperated.

“She’s my woman. If you touch her, I’ll never let you off!”

In the eyes of others, this scene was like an eight o’clock drama. Two men were fighting for a woman, and a battle was about to break out.

Meng Xizhou was very worried that the Princess would be angry and hurriedly comforted her.

“Don’t worry. I’ll help you get rid of that woman.”

Now, the entire Justice Department only recognized Yu Niaoniao as the Princess Consort. No matter how many women Duke Lang would have in the future, they would firmly stand on the side of the Princess Consort.

Yu Niaoniao saw Xiao Juan raise his hand.

She thought that Xiao Juan was going to respond to Duan Nian’er and was quite unhappy.

However, in the next moment, she saw Xiao Juan slap Duan Nian’er in the face!

The force wind was sharp and oppressive like a thunderbolt.

If this slap landed, her brain would be blown out.

No one expected that the scene, which was a melodramatic love triangle a moment ago, would become a live King of Hell tearing a beauty apart.

The change was so sudden that everyone was stunned.

No one stood up to stop Xiao Juan.

Seeing that the palm was about to land, Duan Nian’er’s body suddenly twisted. Then, she slipped and fell to the ground in a sorry state.

It was also because of this fall that she managed to avoid Xiao Juan’s palm.

Xiao Juan’s palm missed.

However, he did not have much of a reaction. He calmly retracted his hand and looked at Duan Nian’er with an extremely deep gaze.

His palm strike was intended to test Duan Nian’er.

The result of the test was as he had expected. Duan Nian’er knew martial arts.

Although the way she pretended to fall seemed like a coincidence, her instinctive reaction when she was in danger had betrayed her.

Shen Xu was originally prepared to curse. However, after seeing that Xiao Juan even hit a woman, Shen Xu was instantly speechless.

As expected of the living King of Hell! It was her bad luck for eight lifetimes that Duan Nian’er liked him.

It was not only Shen Xu. The others around him also had mixed feelings.

It was not unreasonable for Duke Lang to be single for twenty years.If not for the emperor’s blessing, he would probably still be single.

Meng Xizhou looked at Yu Niaoniao carefully.

He was even more worried.

Duke Lang was so ferocious. What if he attacked the Princess in the future?

Looking at the Princess Consort’s small body, Duke Lang would probably only need one blow to kill her.

Duan Nian’er was guilty but she used the act of wiping her tears to avoid Xiao Juan’s gaze.

She cried and said, “Why did you attack me, Your Highness? Did I do something wrong and make you unhappy? Tell me, I’ll definitely change.”

Shen Xu helped her up. “Alright, since he doesn’t like you, whatever you do will be wrong. You should just follow me in peace. As long as you serve me well, I won’t treat you badly.”

Duan Nian’er carefully looked at Xiao Juan, only to see him staring at her coldly.

Her heart tightened. She knew that the other party was already suspicious of her, so she hurriedly looked away and fell weakly into Shen Xu’s arms.

“Young Master, my foot hurts. I think I accidentally twisted it just now.”

Shen Xu was naturally very happy that a beauty had thrown herself into his arms.

He chuckled at Xiao Juan as if he was showing off, then hugged Duan Nian’er and walked back.

“It’s fine. I’ll help you back to rest. I have ointment for blood circulation in the car. I’ll apply it personally later. I guarantee it’ll make your feet recover quickly.”

With that, he did not forget to rub Duan Nian’er’s waist.

Duan Nian’er clung to him and sobbed softly as if she had been wronged.

She knew in her heart that she would definitely not be able to seduce Xiao Juan. At this moment, she could only settle for the next best thing and change her target to Shen Xu.

Thinking of Xiao Juan’s merciless slap just now, she hated him in her heart. She vowed that she would make him suffer!

Xiao Juan walked up to Yu Niaoniao and realized that she was still looking at him in a daze.

He had to ask.

“What happened to you?”

Yu Niaoniao gave him a thumbs up. “Brother, you’re awesome! You can actually be so ruthless to such a delicate little beauty.”

Xiao Juan said truthfully, “She has evil intentions and is not a good person. It’s fine to kill her.”

Yu Niaoniao was very surprised and hurriedly asked for the reason.
