Sleep! Damn it! He was about to go crazy!
The prince was furious, and the consequences were severe! Zhao Huiyin, you’re done for!
The birthday banquet at the royal residence ended in discord, transforming what had been a lively scene into an eerie silence. Guests exchanged glances, hastily bidding farewell, their footsteps tinged with panic as if afraid to be caught in this oppressive atmosphere.
Only the servants remained to clean up. Luo Hanfei summoned his trusted aide, his brow furrowed and eyes blazing with anger. With a wave of his hand, he commanded, “Bring me the Jade Disc.”
Yunshuang immediately frowned, her brows knitting together like two caterpillars entwined. Discontent seeped into her voice as she protested, “Are you really going to give up the Jade Disc like this?”
“Is that maid worth it? Don’t forget you staked your own life as collateral with your royal brother! You promised nothing would happen to the Jade Disc! Luo Hanfei, are you even listening?” Yunshuang raised her voice, her tone sharp enough to pierce eardrums. She stomped her foot in frustration, her body trembling with rage.
Luo Hanfei paid her no mind. He quietly toyed with the Jade Disc his aide had brought him, his gaze fixed on it as if it were the most important object in the world, completely ignoring Yunshuang’s outburst.
Yunshuang stomped again, the force so great it felt like she could crack the ground beneath her. “If you really use the Jade Disc to save that maid, I will definitely have my brother execute her!”
This time, Luo Hanfei finally turned to look at her. His gaze was calculating, as if assessing a stranger, mixed with disdain. The corners of his mouth curled slightly upward in a mocking smile.
Yunshuang felt a pang of discomfort, as if a heavy stone were pressing down on her heart. Yet she became even more resolute: her worthless life was not worth the Jade Disc! Even less so was it worth him trading his entire future for!
Luo Hanfei glanced at the object in his hand—the mere Jade Disc: “It truly isn’t worth it.”
He let out a soft snort filled with contempt before putting away the Jade Disc and said expressionlessly, “Show them out.”
His voice was as cold as ice, devoid of any warmth.
In the past two days, the Wang residence had fallen into a strange silence. Gone was Zhao Huiyin's boisterous presence, her laughter echoing through the halls, leaving an emptiness that felt palpable. The quiet enveloped every corner of the estate like a vast net, creating an oppressive atmosphere.
He had to bring her back.
And then, give her a good beating! His fists clenched unconsciously, anger flashing in his eyes as Zhao Huiyin's face filled his mind. Gritting his teeth, he thought furiously: how could she not tell him that she knew Zhou Changyi!
And so intimately! And so... The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, his expression darkening like the sky before a storm.
Achoo it!
Someone was cursing her!
Zhao Huiyin looked around suspiciously, her eyes scanning the area like searchlights. Aside from the empty walls, there was nothing else.
This was a den of thieves, the temporary hideout of Thief King Zhou Changyi, dim and damp, exuding a musty odor.
It was said that the people in this den revered Zhou Changyi, treating him like a god.
Zhou Changyi was a legendary figure known throughout the land as a chivalrous thief; tales of his exploits circulated widely in the martial world.
Zhao Huiyin found it somewhat amusing. No wonder the habitual thief Zhou Changyi was so hard to catch; it turned out he was the Thief King in his past life! She curled her lip in disdain at the thought.
But when did a chivalrous thief stoop to such despicable acts as kidnapping? It wasn't until she arrived here that she realized this Zhou Changyi was not the same as that Zhou Changyi. But by then, it was too late; she had become a caged bird.
With a resigned sigh, she plopped down on the ground like a deflated balloon.
How pitiful...
Would Luo Hanfei come to save her? She heard that it would take a priceless treasure to exchange for her freedom. Would he be willing to part with it?
Her eyes reflected a glimmer of hope mixed with worry, her hands nervously twisting the hem of her clothes.
It had been two days, and there was not a single sign of movement.
Did he not want to come...
Would he not come...
Although she felt like she had known this all along, there was still a twinge of sadness, just a tiny bit. Her eyes reddened slightly, as if something was blocking her heart.
Because it seemed like he had never called her by her name. Little Guardian, Little Guardian—it sounded so awful. Would it kill him to say her name?
This was ridiculous; why was she being so petty? Why was she becoming increasingly melancholic? She slapped her forehead, trying to shake off the feeling.
No, she couldn't waste time being sad! She needed to find a way out for her future! She stood up, her gaze firming as she paced back and forth in the room, as if contemplating some grand plan.
As for Luo Hanfei... let him take his princess to die! She would visit his grave! She thought fiercely, clenching her fists tightly.
