The Dramatic Crown Princess Wants to Poison Me!

Chapter 29: Chapter 29: Sinister Grin

Underneath the sunshade, a burly man immediately swung a long whip, lashing it onto several ”servants” lagging behind, eliciting cries of pain. Those people didn’t dare to delay and quickened their pace.

Though the burly man and patrols were blocking the way of Huangfu Jingchen and Xia Wenjin, when these people appeared, they did not accidentally hurt them but instead made way.

Li Hai hesitantly stepped forward, whispered a plea to Xia Wenjin, ”Brother, I did not come willingly. Let’s just pretend for a bit. I won’t hurt you!”

Xia Wenjin glanced at him. This man’s cowardly manner was truly lacking any manly spirit, even inferior to her, a woman.

However, he was, after all, a pitiable person.

Xia Wenjin did not attack him.

Li Hai staggered among the burly men, moving awkwardly. He knew Wang Wan’er’s people wouldn’t harm him, nor would Xia Wenjin, so he deliberately ran recklessly, appearing very diligent. However, no matter how he ran, he still stayed close to Xia Wenjin.

Xia Wenjin fought against many, feeling invigorated, without any fear.

The patrols at first held back, but seeing this rascal too troublesome, accidentally getting hit, with the places struck being painfully sore, they stopped holding back, attacking fiercely.

However, Xia Wenjin still managed with ease.

At this moment, Xia Wenjin made a false move, landing right at the edge of the Snake Cave.

A venomous glint flashed in Li Hai’s eyes; he suddenly stretched out his hand, using all his strength to push Xia Wenjin.

He sneered viciously, whispering, ”Die!”

This guy offended Miss Wang; sooner or later, he’s a dead man. If he succeeded, perhaps he’d earn merit, gaining more favor from Miss Wang, maybe even enjoy a separate courtyard and better life like those few people.

”Be careful!”

Huangfu Jingchen was over a zhang (about 3 meters) away, entangled by several people. But he was focused on Xia Wenjin, and upon seeing Li Hai’s sneak attack, he immediately cried out a warning while enduring a few hits, darting towards them.

However, he knew very well that with such a distance, even if he lunged, it would already be too late.

Unexpectedly, this coward Li Hai turned out to be so vicious.

Xia Wenjin was rescuing them from misery, yet he resorted to such a venomous act.

Wang Wan’er was also shocked, suddenly standing up, covering her mouth with her hand.

Li Hai’s cruel grin spread across his lips; as if he saw brocade clothes and exclusive favor beckoning to him.

However, his hand pushed at nothing, and because he used all his strength, he couldn’t stop himself, crashing forward.

Ahead was the Snake Cave. He screamed in terror, ”No...” but had already lost his balance, plummeting into the Snake Cave!

A shrill scream echoed from the cave, the sound growing fainter.

Xia Wenjin let out a cold laugh. A pitiable person must have despicable aspects! This Li Hai, in the face of Wang Wan’er’s malign power, was as timid as a mouse, thinking Xia Wenjin was easier to handle, he used such insidious means. A person like this, with a heart so wicked, is no less than Wang Wan’er’s, and deserves death!

In fact, when Li Hai rushed forward, though Xia Wenjin thought him pitiful and didn’t intend to attack him, it didn’t mean she completely dropped her guard against Li Hai. When Li Hai made his move, her body swiftly shifted diagonally, the Shadow Circulation Step as fast as a phantom, completing a mirror swap in the blink of an eye. Originally before Li Hai, she had already moved behind him. But her movements were so swift that Li Hai didn’t even realize.

This was a sudden change. Hearing the screams, Wang Wan’er thought Xia Wenjin had been pushed into the Snake Cave; such a rare find, she had not tried yet, how could it be fed to the snakes first. Furious, she wanted to tear Li Hai to pieces. Fuming with anger, she opened her mouth to curse, but looking closely, saw Xia Wenjin still standing well, while Li Hai, who pushed, had disappeared.

She breathed a sigh of relief, laughed, ”Well done, deservedly! Li Hai deserves more than death!”

Huangfu Jingchen’s eyes turned deeper; he had been watching Xia Wenjin’s side all along, when she used that marvelous step method, he clearly saw it all.

Only till this moment did she reveal her true capabilities?

This kid, glib and shameless, he thought she only had skills for talking and appearances, now it seemed, her real abilities were not weak.

Vicious dogs and poisonous snakes couldn’t even manage to frighten, might even accidentally hurt her precious ones. Wang Wan’er raised a hand and waved it; the four burly men understood, taking the vicious dogs away.

Over there, two people covered the entrance of the Snake Cave.

Inside, three people were enough for these snakes to digest for a while.

But Wang Wan’er was also quite upset; though they were rare finds, still too lacking in insight. Otherwise, she’d break with tradition, catch them, and spike their supper with something. Tonight, let the emperor go forcefully!

Her patience was exhausted, shouting, ”Are you all useless? Can’t even capture two people?”

Xia Wenjin looked at the patrols and burly men closing in again, and charged forward. After a while, she gasped for breath, waved her hand saying, ”Stop, stop!”

Trying her best to save people, yet in the end, being harmed by those she intended to save, people here had already developed servile nature under Wang Wan’er’s malicious methods, even aiding and abetting the evil, perhaps not worth saving.

Xia Wenjin calmed down.

Eliminating the Governor Wang and Wang Wan’er, the harmful father and daughter, wasn’t achievable by random fighting here.

Wang Wan’er held herself lofty, saying, ”Do you have anything to say?”

Xia Wenjin’s gaze spun around, sweeping across the courtyard filled with patrols and burly men, gasping heavily, almost out of breath, saying, ”Miss Wang, you have more people, I concede! Tell me what to do, and I’ll do whatever you say, no more fighting.”

Wang Wan’er looked over coldly; this rascal particularly rebellious, even daring to jump into the Snake Cave to rescue people, earlier scared her so much, thinking such a rare find would be fed to the snakes in a twinkling.

Hearing her give in, Wang Wan’er felt slightly relaxed, snorting with a laugh; she never worried about not being able to subdue these two. If needed, she could use piles of people to bury them, why worry?

Over here, as Xia Wenjin stopped, Huangfu Jingchen also arrived beside Xia Wenjin, naturally stopping too.

Wang Wan’er let her gaze sweep across their faces, liking them more the more she watched, but still deliberately putting on a stern face, saying, ”Are you really submitting?”

Xia Wenjin exhaled a long breath, seemingly steadying her breathing only then, her eyes shining brightly, smiling warmly, saying, ”Really submitting!”

”Whatever I command you, you’ll do?”

Xia Wenjin’s expression extremely sincere, ”Miss Wang, please command us, we’ll certainly obey!”

Wang Wan’er looked at Huangfu Jingchen, unwilling to talk to this malicious woman?

Xia Wenjin immediately said, ”I promised, my brother would promise too!”

Seeing Xia Wenjin’s good attitude, Wang Wan’er felt very satisfied; she staged such a big act primarily for this effect.

Now, with the effect achieved, she immediately said, ”Considering you still have some sense, I won’t pursue this further. If you don’t obey, I have ways to make you! She turned to Qiao Xi, ”Arrange for them to serve tonight!”
