The Captivating Crown Prince

Chapter 75

“Where is he?” The ten men in black observed the two who had disappeared into the forest and looked around anxiously, “Scatter, split up and look!” After saying that, they split into three groups and began to slowly search the forest. Nangong Qian and Shang Wuxin, who were hidden in the dark, watched the ten people leave without moving, and then quietly followed one of them.

Seeing that the three teams were far apart, even if there was a fight, it would not attract the two teams. Nangong Qian and Shang Wuxin hid behind a big tree. Nangong Qian looked at Prince Shang and could not bear to let such a weak person like her be involved in this matter. However, it was too difficult for him alone.

However, Shang Wuxin did not bother with Nangong Qian’s caring gaze. She broke off a branch and rushed forward, attacking a man. Shang Wuxin’s speed was fast and vicious, and his martial arts were high, with some moves that others could not fathom. Hence, his chances of winning were very high in a short period of time.

As for Nangong Qian, he was not the least bit embarrassed when facing the two of them. The short sabre in his hand was as nimble as his own hand, but it only took a moment for it to injure the two people. However, even though Nangong Qian was dealing with these two people, he still paid attention to Prince Shang from time to time. He was also surprised by Shang Wuxin’s martial arts. He did not find it strange that Prince Shang had kung fu, but it was unusual that the killing intent he exuded was too strong, not to mention, because of how good his kung fu was and the way he killed people. However, what Nangong Qian felt was more than vigilance, it was a ripple in his heart. With such skills and killing intent, it meant that he had experienced a life that was not human.

While Shang Wuxin was dealing with this person, Nangong Qian also dealt with the two of them. At the same time, the two withdrew their hands and looked at each other, seeing the admiration and admiration in each other’s eyes. Nangong Qian looked at the tree branch in Prince Shang’s hand, and her phoenix eyes shifted as she thought of a plan.

“There are seven more!” Shang Wuxin looked at the tree branch in her hand and laughed. However, the laughter was becoming more and more cruel and sinister, like a demon licking blood.

Nangong Qian felt pain in his heart and disappeared before he could notice it. Nangong Qian wiped off the blood on Prince Shang’s hand, then took off the branch in Prince Shang’s hand and said, “I will kill the people who follow me!”

He knew that the two of them would be faster and that he would not be injured if he was alone, but he did not want to see Prince Shang looking like this. He could feel that Prince Shang’s aura of darkness was so thick that he almost could not see him clearly.

Shang Wuxin broke another branch, saying as she walked, “I do not wish for Prince Qian to be injured within the country of Shang, and I do not wish to see any friction between the two countries at this time!” This meant that she, Shang Wuxin, would never intervene if it was not because of her weakness!

Nangong Qian was both angry and happy at the same time. He was happy that Prince Shang helped him and did not abandon him at this time. He was angry that Prince Shang had only done all this for the benefit of the two countries, and there was a deeper meaning in his tone.

The night quietly approached, and at this time, Shang Wuxin and Nangong Qian were no longer as clean as they were in the afternoon. Although the two of them were not seriously injured, they were still slightly injured, and coupled with the fact that their clothes were in a sorry state after running for so long in the woods, both Shang Wuxin’s white robe and Nangong Qian’s purple robe were badly damaged by the tree branches.

Nangong Qian looked at the wound on Prince Shang’s face caused by the tree branch. Just as he was about to stroke Shang, his rough fingers were dodged by Shang Wuxin. Although he did not particularly reject the man’s approach, his intimate actions did not cause Shang’s heart to waver.

Nangong Qian withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened, but when Shang Wuxin relaxed, he raised his hand and wiped off the blood on her cheek. Nangong Qian found it hard to let go of his tender skin, but he still took his hand away. He explained, “It’s stained with blood, it’s ugly!”

Even if it’s ugly, it’s not for you to see! Shang Wuxin’s expression was dark as she watched Nangong Qian leave. She believed that the two of them had not returned for so long. With the fearless people who had returned, she was afraid that the crown prince’s residence would be in chaos.

Shang Wuxin’s guess was not wrong. Although the crown prince’s residence could not be seen by outsiders, it was in a state of panic. Not only the crown prince’s residence, even General Leng and Young Noble Huan in the capital had mobilized people to search for him. There were also assassins from the Cold Star Pavilion secretly searching for him in the shadows.

The night gradually darkened. After an afternoon of intense fighting, both of them were unable to hold on to their physical strength. Nangong Qian was a man but still felt a little tired, and Shang Wuxin’s bad health coupled with the woman’s physical strength made her look more haggard.

Nangong Qian thought for a moment before squatting down and saying to the stunned Prince Shang, “Come up!”

Shang Wuxin did not even bother to look at the crouching Nangong Qian as he ignored him, wandering in the forest. Nangong Qian, who was standing behind him, clenched his fists to suppress the anger that was gushing out of his chest. He was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and strangle this Prince Shang who did not know what was good for him.

A wind began to blow within the forest. Then, he saw that the originally dark horizon was becoming more and more oppressive, and the air became thinner. The entire forest was devoid of any light. If it weren’t for the fact that the two of them had good night vision, who knew how many times they would fall?

“It’s going to rain!” Nangong Qian looked at the sudden change in the weather with some emotion. It was not that he had anything but he was worried about Prince Shang’s health. There was no shelter in the forest, not even a cave. The two of them could use their lightness techniques to quickly return, but it would still take a long time. Moreover, if they were to use their inner force endlessly now, the consequences of assassinating the two of them would be unimaginable.

Just as Shang Wuxin was about to say something, a strong wind blew through the dark sky like hell. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning lit up the sky, breaking their line of sight. A long bolt of lightning flashed across the horizon, accompanied by rumbling thunder and a gale of wind.

“Bang!” The thunder deafened the ears.

Just as Nangong Qian was about to cover the young man’s ears, he saw a scene that shocked him. The young man, regardless of whether he was facing a battle or scheming, had a face as pale as paper. His dark eyes were so cold and terrifying that he seemed like a soulless puppet. If not for Nangong Qian being extremely reliant, he would not even feel the young man’s body slightly tremble.

At this time, Shang Wuxin was completely immersed in her own world, just like every time she had encountered thunder. At the age of eight, she could hear the thunder roaring on a thunderstruck night, she saw her parents abandon her and watch her being sent to the bed of that man. She experienced a fear she had never experienced before, she had tasted the most painful torture in the world. The humiliation of wanting to scrape his flesh off with a knife began on a thunderstorm.

“Prince Shang!” Nangong Qian gently held onto Prince Shang’s shoulder, only to discover that the youth did not move at all, as if he was going to disappear or go crazy at any moment. Nangong Qian felt very flustered. He could only use the gentlest voice he had in his life to shout, “Wuxin …” Wake up! No heart… “Don’t be afraid!”

The smart Nangong Qian already knew the crux of the problem, the reason why Prince Shang suddenly acted like this was because of the deafening thunder. Nangong Qian pulled the youth into his embrace as if he was a ghost and covered his ears with his hands. He opened his robe and wrapped him around himself, blocking out the thunder outside.

“Wuxin …” Nangong Qian did not know how to comfort him, so he could only keep on calling out Shang Wuxin’s name. He kept patting the boy on the shoulder, trying to give him courage to wake up from his nightmare.

Perhaps it was because the thunder in his ears had died down, or because the people around him kept shouting, or because this hug was too warm, Shang Wuxin’s eyes started to move a little, but before Nangong Qian could feel happy, she was slapped by Shang Wuxin, and was merciless.

“Pu!” Nangong Qian spat out a mouthful of blood a few meters away, but before he could get angry, he saw the youth standing there. The youth withdrew the fluctuations in his eyes, and his dark black eyes were like stars in the night sky.

“Kill you!” “Kill you!” Shang Wuxin looked at Nangong Qian, who was standing a few meters away, and let out a beast-like wail, which made Nangong Qian want to cry. He looked at the youth and shouted, “Don’t touch me!” “Don’t touch me!”

Nangong Qian felt his heart ache. It was as if someone was tearing at his weak heart, causing him to wish he could pull out his heart. Compared to the pain he had suffered for so many years, he now understood what pain meant.

He would not harm Shang Wuxin, but if Shang Wuxin were to continue hurting herself, Nangong Qian could only keep dealing with Shang Wuxin’s attacks. Nangong Qian kept on shouting out Shang Wuxin’s name, he had never thought of hurting Shang Wuxin.

Nangong Qian held both of Shang Wuxin’s hands firmly in anger. Perhaps the thunder had disappeared, or perhaps the heavy rain on Shang Wuxin’s face had woken her up a lot, so Shang Wuxin was back to normal.

Seeing that Nangong Qian was still injured, Shang Wuxin knew what she had done. There had been weather reports in the world, so every time it rained, she locked herself up and couldn’t hear the thunder, but now she was out of control.

Shang Wuxin withdrew his hand from Nangong Qian. Even though his body was still trembling, he was still in a terrible state, but at least he had control over himself.

Seeing Prince Shang’s thin and trembling body slowly moving through the heavy rain, Nangong Qian asked worriedly, “Are you alright?”

Before Prince Shang could reply, he saw Prince Shang look back, but his eyes were too cold. There were too many things he could not see clearly in the ice. Shang Wuxin’s entire being became a little terrifying, and just as Nangong Qian was about to say something, he was interrupted by a sudden voice.
