Chapter 143 I looked in the mirror before going out, and I looked beautiful!
If it were anyone else, she would definitely doubt where his confidence came from, but she had great confidence in their prince.
Wu Ziyan had just arrived on the street, already carrying packages in both hands; today was another "wonderful" day.
Suddenly, screams came from the crowd. Wu Ziyan knew they were here!
She also pretended to be panicked, and Mo Baiyun watched her exaggerated acting from the pavilion not far away, finding it somewhat amusing.
Wu Ziyan clutched the package to her chest, her eyes wide, and dodged the crowd.
At this moment, a group of people dressed as brothel servants appeared from behind, chasing after a man in fine clothes.
His every frown and gesture attracted the attention of those who were trying to avoid him.
Some people even forgot to chew, and the candied hawthorns in the children's hands fell to the ground. They had never seen such a beautiful person before.
Perhaps there were no people in the capital who looked somewhat exotic yet were of the Wu Dynasty.
Wu Ziyan hid behind a small shop, watching the group of people pursue her. Her eyes were also fixed on Qi Zexuan's face. What a beauty!
She was a beauty that seemed to belong only in heaven, as if she were not of this world. Logically, the system should have displayed a prompt, but it didn't, not even a description!
Even if she's incredibly beautiful, so what? She's not the one she's trying to win over, so she immediately lost interest.
Mo Baiyun was also leaning against the rooftop, her eyes looking at Wu Ziyan shifting from bright to dim, and even her expression became uninteresting.
He admitted that the man was quite handsome, and according to Wu Ziyan's previous personality, he would definitely like him, but why did he lose interest after only a moment of interest?
He emerged from behind the shop like a passerby, not even bothering to glance at Qi Zexuan.
[Damn it, there are so many men I haven't even conquered yet, I can't be bothered to waste my time on an NPC.]
Qi Zexuan ran towards her as soon as he saw her, and she probably knew that this must be the spy that Mo Baiyun had told her about using a honey trap.
She may be beautiful, but you need to be alive to enjoy it. Why go back to find another stunningly beautiful person and stir up hatred?
"Wife, save me!" His voice was extremely pleasant, neither effeminate nor affected; it sounded like the voice of a sunny, cheerful man.
Wu Ziyan, with a blank expression, pointed at herself and said, "Me?"
This time, it was Qi Zexuan's turn to be shocked. Logically speaking, someone like her should have stunned him for a while, but Wu Ziyan didn't show the slightest bit of emotion when she saw him.
The group of servants who came to arrest him got closer and closer, but he no longer cared why Wu Ziyan wasn't looking at him.
He stretched out both hands, trying to grab Wu Ziyan's hands: "Save me, please, my wife."
When Qi Zexuan's hand was about to touch her sleeve, Wu Ziyan quickly backed away, saying, "No, no, no, it can't save me at all!"
Qi Zexuan: ?
This was a little different from what he had imagined. Logically speaking, if he asked Wu Ziyan for help, she would definitely save him, or even protect him.
"Miss!"
"What? So many tall, beautiful women, and you didn't grab them? Do you think I, this weakling, can protect you? Are you out of your mind? What are you thinking! Didn't you see those people were carrying knives? I don't know any martial arts!"
The people behind them were getting closer and closer, regardless of any unexpected changes along the way.
He grabbed Wu Ziyan's wrist. This man was strong enough, and his hands were big enough to wrap around her entire wrist.
He intended to pull her in front of him to shield himself from two blows, but Wu Ziyan was short. As he pulled, Wu Ziyan leaned back, and he inertia ended up in front of her. The servants didn't stop in time!
A knife sliced across his shoulder, drawing blood instantly. It seemed this time the attack was truly ruthless. Wu Ziyan inwardly praised, "They really went all out to lure me in!"
Qi Zexuan gritted his teeth. He hadn't expected this woman to be this kind of person, completely unmoved by his good looks.
It would be a lie to say she was unmoved. While the servants were stunned, Wu Ziyan touched his chest with the speed of someone trying to steal a bell. It was very firm. Unfortunately, he was her enemy!
Qi Zexuan also sensed Wu Ziyan's subtle movements, and he stared at him in shock.
Wu Ziyan grinned and blinked: "Oh, young master, are you alright? Good heavens! You're bleeding!"
Wu Ziyan deliberately grabbed his wound and squeezed it hard. The blood, which was already somewhat congealed, bled again after she injured it a second time.
Qi Zexuan winced in pain. His current persona was that of a courtesan, so he had to endure it. He revealed a charming smile: "My lady, if you don't let go, something bad will happen to me."
She feigned surprise, covering her mouth with both hands and saying, "I'm sorry, I scratched your wound!"
At this moment, the servants were unsure whether to go forward or not, until they received a look from Qi Zexuan.
He shouted in a vicious tone, "You think you can escape the clutches of our Drunken Flower Pavilion?"
"Why don't you go back with your sisters? We'll definitely take good care of you. There are still some adults waiting for you. How will we explain if you run away?"
"But I've already saved enough money and obtained my indenture! Why won't you let me go?"
"No? My beauty, how could I be so confused? You're from Zuihualou?" Wu Ziyan asked in confusion, as she had never been to Zuihualou.
Qi Zexuan thought that Wu Ziyan frequented Zuihualou and had never seen him, the top courtesan. He had even thought of what to say.
Then Wu Ziyan said, "Are all the beauties inside like you? I've never been there before!"
Qi Zexuan was puzzled again. This useless princess who only liked to eat, drink and have fun should have been going to such places often, but she said that she had never been there!
This stopped him from explaining, and he didn't care about anything else. He just ordered the servant to slash her a few times, and then he would save her. Wouldn't that be perfect?
But who knew that Wu Ziyan was a thief? Seeing the servant's gleaming knife coming towards him, he suddenly crawled under the cart selling goods, and the knife slammed into the wood.
This once again shattered Qi Zeyun and Qi Ersu's worldview. What kind of princess was this, actually crawling under a shop cart in the street? Where was the dignity of royalty?
Seeing that she had missed, she crawled out again, shouting, "Why are you trying to kill me by capturing this beauty! Take him back with you!"
Everyone was stunned. This was completely different from what they had initially thought, said, and rehearsed! How could they possibly perform like this?
Never mind, just go and chop. Wu Ziyan grabbed Qi Zexuan's hands, but in a way that was behind him, like an eagle catching a chick.
Those people saw Qi Zexuan blocking their way, so they couldn't even manage to cut him down.
Qi Zexuan was completely bewildered by Wu Ziyan and began to doubt his own personal charm. Wasn't he handsome? He had clearly looked in the mirror before going out, and he was perfect!
