I am born a beauty, and I am supreme - Chapter 47
Several times his fingers almost touched her hand, but he couldn't move forward even an inch.
What's there to be afraid of? We're all men.
As his superior, it's perfectly normal for him to take the pulse of his sick subordinate.
One last time, his fingers rested on his own leg, with only a tiny gap between them and hers, still hesitating whether to move forward.
The timid fingertips seemed like tiny, independent figures, moving forward, backward, and outward.
He's usually very busy with important national military matters, so how could he be so hesitant and effeminate!
In a trance.
She suddenly chuckled softly.
He pulled his hand back as if he had been electrocuted.
Have we been discovered?
Chu Zhen felt inexplicably hot in the ears.
"The master is so kind," she murmured in his ear.
The tone was extremely intimate.
The warm breath hit his face.
"It feels very warm," she continued, talking to herself.
Chu Zhen was speechless. What was this? Was he acting innocent after getting the benefit?
He remained silent.
"I don't know why, but whenever I'm near an adult, I feel..." she seemed to want to say more.
He glanced at her sideways, only to see that her long eyelashes covered her eyes, which were still closed.
But the more he said it, the more absurd it became.
"I feel..." Her voice trailed off, as if she was hesitating or considering.
He could no longer contain himself; before he could even utter a word of "Shut up," she suddenly opened her eyes and shouted sharply, "Stop the sedan chair!"
Chapter Sixty-One: It's so good
Tang Leyan murmured to herself, as if she was about to say something even more outrageous.
Suddenly his expression changed, and he shouted, "Stop the sedan chair!"
Chu Zhen reacted very quickly.
Without asking her why, he immediately raised his voice: "Stop the sedan chair!"
Tang Leyan looked up at him, her eyes changing from astonishment to admiration.
Their eyes met, and Chu Zhen suddenly felt courageous and reached out to grasp her hand.
Just then, a strange change occurred.
A cry of "Protect the master!" rang out, and the sedan chair bearers put down the sedan chair, drew their weapons, and surrounded it.
However, screams rang out in an instant.
We were a step too late.
Tang Leyan frowned: "We can't stay here anymore."
Chu Zhen nodded: "The sedan chair is the biggest target."
Their eyes met, and they both realized they were thinking the same thing.
He lifted the sedan curtain, ready to step outside.
She grabbed his wrist: "Stop!"
Just then, Chu Zhen heard the ninja shout, "Stop!"
Tang Leyan frowned: "Follow me."
Chu Zhen said, "Okay."
She reached out and placed his hand on her waist.
That soft, small waist.
He was taken aback, then gently wrapped his arms around her waist.
Tang Leyan swung her palm and leaped upwards, jumping out of the sedan chair with Chu Zhen.
The sedan chair the two were riding in also shattered into pieces in an instant.
If you exit through the main gate, you will inevitably receive the same treatment as those in sedan chairs.
Chu Zhen was secretly surprised and couldn't help but turn to look at the person next to him.
While Tang Leyan was in the air, her figure swayed, and in the instant her red sleeves fluttered, she had already deflected no less than a hundred arrows that were shot from all directions.
As she worked, she was secretly shocked.
Her martial arts were already damaged, which is why she had no choice but to hide in Chu Zhen's sedan chair. She never expected to be so lucky and encounter such a thing.
After two moves, his damaged body could no longer hold on.
He managed to land with Chu Zhen, but his body swayed and he couldn't stand up.
Fortunately, Chu Zhen put his arm around her waist and let her lean on him, which prevented her from falling.
She leaned against his strong chest and gave him a grateful look.
He was horrified to see that she covered her mouth with her hand, as if she was trying to suppress something. After she withdrew her hand, a faint trace of blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.
"Injured?" His heart suddenly tightened.
She shook her head: "It's nothing, just an old injury." Noticing his surprised look, she knew she had left a mark and reached up to wipe it from the corner of her mouth.
※※※※※
Assassins suddenly appeared from nowhere and surrounded the area.
These people seemed to have come prepared, and they started killing without hesitation.
In addition, their strange appearance caught them off guard once again.
In an instant, half of the people around Chu Zhen had fallen.
The stench of blood spread, and Tang Leyan felt dizzy.
Chu Zhen was already supporting her weakly, and seeing this, he simply stretched out his arm and hugged her into his arms.
Tang Leyan propped herself up to look at him.
But then he bent down slightly, bent over, and pulled a dagger from his boot that was close to his leg.
He held it across his chest and said in a deep voice, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Tang Leyan smiled slightly, slowly reached out, and hugged his waist.
The moment she closed her eyes, a soft whisper escaped her lips: "You...you're so kind..."
Chu Zhen was looking straight ahead and didn't hear clearly for a moment.
He felt the person in his arms press their face against his chest, and then his chest felt slightly damp. He looked down and saw that his dark blue shirt was now soaked in a large patch on the chest.
It's blood.
Upon seeing this, Chu Zhen felt a chill run down her spine.
※※※※※
The ninja clones protecting Chu Zhen were engaged in battle and were unable to attend to Chu Zhen's side for the time being.
Upon seeing this, the assassin immediately closed in.
He was wielding a long sword, the tip of which was still wet with fresh blood.
Chu Zhen gritted his teeth and fought back with his short dagger. In just a few moves, the outcome was clear.
The two assassins seemed to realize that he was no match for them, and seeing that they had the upper hand, they couldn't help but feel a cruel, cat-and-mouse mentality.
Moreover, this young man, as cold as jade, is the most powerful minister in the Shun Kingdom.
This makes the fun even more intense.
The sharp tip of the knife sliced across Chu Zhen's shoulder, and blood spurted out immediately.
With one hand protecting Tang Leyan in his arms, Chu Zhen fought his enemy with the other. Martial arts were not his forte to begin with, and his opponent was a master. In an instant, he was covered in blood.
But he was stubborn by nature and protected the person in his arms with all his might, so that Tang Leyan was not hurt in the slightest.
During the fight, drops of hot blood splattered and landed on Tang Leyan's face.
She slowly opened her eyes.
His originally nonchalant eyes, with just a glance, revealed the other party's intentions.
The blood dripping from Chu Zhen's body slid down to her lips.
She gently stuck out the tip of her tongue and licked it, then suddenly smiled.
His smile was almost sinister, filled with an eerie aura.
※※※※※
Unfortunately, no one noticed.
Chu Zhen was focused on protecting the person in his arms and had no time to spare.
The assassins, tired of the cat-and-mouse game, decided to finish the fight quickly. They exchanged a glance, their blades gleaming, and charged forward together.
The ninja turned around but couldn't save her in time. Chu Zhen held the person in his arms tightly with one hand, feeling no fear for a moment.
But in that life-or-death moment, a sinister laugh came from his chest: "Ha!"
Chu Zhen felt a surge of power in his arms and was pushed away. The person who had been unconscious in his arms suddenly stood up. His figure was like a ghost. With a sway in the wind, he was already standing in front of the assassin. His red robe was billowing and making a loud noise, as if it were filled with the wind at sea.
The assassins exchanged a glance, rose and rushed forward, their blades striking Tang Leyan with lightning speed.
Chu Zhen wanted to rush forward to help, but heard the red-clad man standing in front of him say indifferently, "You're courting death."
