His Highness the Crown Prince Always Wants to Marry Me

Chapter 8: The Boy in Red (Two)

The boy in red suddenly shot up and barely dodged the man’s palm strike. A sharp dagger was drawn from his cuff and stabbed into the man’s heart.

Yu Qing Qian folded her arms and leaned against the big tree, watching the boy in red with interest.

She didn’t expect that this person could fight back like this after the poison in his body was completely activated and exploded. This cruel temper made the admiration in her eyes even denser.

The remaining Body Tempering Masters obviously didn’t expect that the boy in red could hide such explosive power. His eyes were cold. No wonder that person told them not to underestimate His Highness the Crown Prince before coming.

He learnt from the lessons of the previous people, took out the sword from his waist, swung the sword, and stabbed towards the boy in red with all his strength without hesitation.

The boy in red’s poison had completely exploded at this point, and all his strength was used to kill the two people just now. He could only watch the longsword fall towards him.

He swore in his heart that as long as he didn’t die today, after returning, one day, he would make life worse than death for that mother and son pair, and destroy their entire clan behind them.

[CLANG!]

A peach blossom dart¹ flew out from the side and knocked the man’s longsword down.

“Who?” the Body Tempering Master didn’t expect that his full-strength sword skill would be shot down by someone’s dart, and he turned his head with vigilance in his eyes.

Yu Qing Qian jumped down from the big tree and played with the peach blossom dart that bounced off the longsword.

She didn’t talk nonsense, tossed it casually, and the dart stabbed into the neck of the man opposite instantly, killing him with one blow.

The opponent’s eyes opened wide, and there was only fear and horror in his eyes before he died.

The boy in red had discovered the existence of Yu Qing Qian earlier, but he didn’t expect that this bright and beautiful girl would help him, and her methods were also so decisive and ruthless.

He looked at Yu Qing Qian coldly, tightly holding the dagger that was still dripping blood in his hand warily.

Yu Qing Qian walked up to the boy in red and raised an eyebrow: “Is this your attitude towards your saviour?”

“I can still kill him without you.” The boy in red sneered and disapproved.

Yu Qing Qian hooked her lips up and with a flash, landed in front of the young boy, grabbing his other hand.

Right now, the young man’s seemingly free hand held a silver needle with a sharp light between his two fingers.

The boy in red didn’t expect Yu Qing Qian to be so fast, and her strength was even more amazing. He furrowed his brows slightly, “How did you know there was a poisonous needle hidden in my hand?”

“I felt it.” When Yu Qing Qian was on the tree, she keenly sensed something extra in the free hand of the boy in red.

“I didn’t expect you to not only be an Innate Spiritual Plant Master, but also a Body Tempering Master.” The red-clothed boy didn’t continue to ponder about why the other party could see through him, “Can you let go now?”

It wasn’t that he wasn’t wary of Yu Qing Qian, but he guessed that the other party wouldn’t kill him.

Yu Qing Qian didn’t immediately let go of the boy in red, but instead raised his hand and cut his finger with a peach blossom dart. A few drops of dark red blood with black strands fell from his fingertips onto her palm.

The boy in red looked at her in confusion and asked: “What do you want to do?”

“Just studying what kind of poison you were poisoned with.” With a thought, Yu Qing Qian’s wood-type variant ability circulated in her meridians for a macrocosmic orbit², and the drops of blood in her palm were instantly refined by her.

The boy in red furrowed his brows deeply as he watched the several drops of his own blood in her hand disappear into thin air. He felt an indescribable strange feeling. He found that he could no longer see through this girl more and more.

He noticed her back in that small border town. A woman who could ride a rank 2 Scarlet Flame Horse was either very capable or had a deep background.

And when in the tavern, he accidentally caught the leaf-like mark on her wrist when she was drinking, that made him become a little more curious about her.

Her actions now puzzled him, and at the same time, aroused the interest in his heart.

²a ‘microcosmic orbit’ (小周天) is, in real life, a Taoist qi’gong energy cultivation technique that develops the flow of qi through one’s body along certain pathways. This is a ‘macrocosmic’ orbit (大周天) ngl, don’t know the difference ahahah…
