After conquering seven male favorites, the vicious heroine wants to run away

Chapter 170 An eyesore, eat it all up
“As a daughter-in-law, I am already ashamed to come to see my mother empty-handed, and you won’t even let me pay my respects to her,” she narrowed her eyes and boldly guessed, “Are you trying to make me bear the reputation of being unfilial?”

The word "husband" escaped her lips as if it wanted to seep into his very bones and blood, piercing through the hard shell that encased his heart.

Before he could even hear anything outside, the wind had covered his ears, and his fragile heart was forcibly taken over by her.

Why are there such people in this world? She is like a clear spring, the water of which flows through one's blood, and once touched, it can never be forgotten.

"Can you hear me if I try?"

Seeing him in a daze, Shi Nuanyu waved her hand in front of him.

A gentle breeze blows, and the rapeseed flowers sway in the breeze.

He hadn't yet mustered the courage to speak, but said, "Mother, your son has brought his wife to see you."

Shi Nuanyu kowtowed respectfully.

"Daughter-in-law Shi Nuanyu has met her mother."

Mother, rest assured, your child has grown up and knows what he is doing.

Nuannuan will be with him, so you can rest assured.

The rapeseed flowers beside them were bent over by the wind, their petals brushing against their shoulders, and then rising and dancing in the air.

His gaze, which had never been one to try before, followed her every move, and his previously empty heart was filled at that moment.

Only now did he realize that all his past opposition was out of a fear of losing her attention.
Mother, please forgive your unfilial son for being unable to keep his promise to you.

Falling in love with her was something he hadn't expected.

The mud on her hands was really an eyesore, so he led her to get up and walk to the nearby stream to wash her hands.

The soil disappeared, revealing pale hands, which were also peeling away his heart.

He squatted down beside her, washing the mud off their bodies together. Looking at her fingers, he tentatively moved closer and hooked his little finger around hers.

The next moment, he hurriedly turned his head away, not daring to look at her suspicious eyes. After a moment, he slowly spoke.

"Does Your Highness wonder why your mother, as the wife of the Alliance Leader, was buried in a neglected mountain?"

She was indeed puzzled, but it was his private matter after all, and she couldn't ask too many questions no matter how puzzled she was.

Without trying, and without continuing the conversation, he led her to sit down on the stone bench below.

"What does Your Highness think of the scenery here?"

Shi Nuanyu followed his gaze and took in the misty, towering mountains, and even the entire Wulin Alliance.

She hadn't noticed it before, and didn't expect to see such a beautiful view from this spot.

"Sitting here makes all my worries disappear."

Before she could even try, the corners of her mouth turned up, carrying a faint smile.

"My mother once said something similar. Before I was nine years old, my mother and father were an enviable couple in the martial arts world, and she was also a promising candidate to strengthen the martial arts alliance."

My mother was a natural talent for martial arts from a young age, and she also inherited my grandfather's last wish to strengthen the martial arts alliance.

The good times didn't last long; various countries suddenly launched an attack, causing heavy casualties to the Martial Alliance. They only survived because His Highness took a liking to them.

Upon hearing this, Shi Nuanyu looked at him with deep apology.

He didn't try to tighten his grip on her hand. "Serving His Highness was my own decision. Back then, I deliberately appeared before His Highness."

The gamble is whether His Highness will take a liking to me; fortunately, this appearance is somewhat useful.

At that time, the martial arts alliance was on the verge of destruction. He had heard that Princess Nanyue liked handsome men, so he deliberately came up with this drastic measure. Before entering the palace, he was prepared to be tortured.

Shi Nuanyu stared at him in surprise, "So you were the one who orchestrated what happened back then?"

This is quite different from the description in the book.

Wait, it seems like I missed something.

The content she read in the book was entirely from the original owner's perspective, and the continuation of the story was based entirely on what the original owner saw and heard. Therefore, she was unaware of the male protagonists' perspectives.

Thinking about it this way, it's terrifying. He chuckled ironically, "Just taking a chance."

No one believed that he, at only nine years old, could make such a plan, and rumors spread in the martial arts world that his mother had given him to the Southern Moon royal family in exchange for the peace of the martial arts alliance.

"I thought that if I followed His Highness into the palace, my mother would be safe. Five years ago, I rashly left the palace to return to the Martial Alliance and witnessed Wei Chao poisoning my mother."

It was then that I realized that Wei Chao had deliberately approached my mother. All he ever wanted was the position of leader of the martial arts alliance, and Li Mei was his childhood sweetheart.

After his mother's death, he feigned grief by holding a grand funeral and then, in a perfunctory manner, buried her in the Wei family ancestral cemetery.

Shi Nuanyu was shocked. She never expected that there was such a part in the middle. Five years ago, he was only fifteen years old. How did he get through that period of time?

She intertwined her fingers with his thumb, trying to comfort him.

Without ever looking down at their intertwined hands, the sorrow in my heart gradually faded away.

Unable to contain herself, Shi Nuanyu asked, "And then?"

"Then, I dug up my mother's grave with my own hands, carried her body up the back mountain, and buried her in her favorite place in life."

He could no longer hide the smile on his lips; although he was talking about sad things, he felt no sadness in his heart.

If she remembered correctly, the Wei family ancestral graves were about fifty miles away from the Martial Alliance. How did he manage to reach the Martial Alliance?

In Shi Nuanyu's mind, she saw a boy in red, stubbornly carrying a corpse on his back, walking step by step down the road.

His feet were bleeding, but he refused to stop.

"I haven't tried it yet," Shi Nuanyu said tenderly, hugging him tightly. The man hadn't expected her to do that, and they both fell to the ground due to inertia.

She hugged his waist tightly, offering comforting words.

"Don't be afraid, I will accompany you to take revenge, I will protect you. You will become the leader of the martial arts alliance, and you will fulfill your grandfather's and mother's last wishes."

Before I had even tried it, my heart skipped a beat, and I stood there dumbfounded, feeling the woman's warm embrace.

She felt sorry for him; she was sad for him.

No one ever said they would protect him.

Shi Nuanyu, you truly are a bewitching spirit in the mountains; he no longer wants to escape.

The desires in his heart were about to burst forth, and he could no longer suppress the surging emotions within him.

Before he could even turn over and pin her down, he saw her eyes were red and he helplessly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Your Highness, please don't cry," he forced a big smile. "I hate it when women cry. I only carried her for thirty miles."

Later, the silly boy came to help me. He helped me bury my mother, so I'm not alone.

The more she talked, the more upset she became. Tears welled up in Shi Nuanyu's eyes like a kite with a broken string, and she couldn't stop them.

She sniffed and said, "I haven't tried it yet, but you're still the same as before. I'm not used to you being like this."

All the sadness vanished, and without trying to hold her tightly, he roared angrily in her ear.

"Shi Nuanyu, can't you stop trying to coax me?"

Shi Nuanyu teased, half-laughing and half-crying, "Oh, now you call me by my real name instead of Your Highness. Didn't you call me Your Highness so happily before?"

She couldn't stand his feigned happiness; it wasn't something she had never tried before.

She's really an infuriating woman.

Without even trying, she gasped for breath and threatened fiercely, "Shi Nuanyu, if you keep teasing me like this, I'll kiss you as punishment."

Seeing the woman's bewildered look, he felt quite smug. "Scared?"

Shi Nuanyu shook her head, suppressing a laugh, "This is the first time I've ever heard of such a punishment."

"You don't know what's good for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he bent down, his face flushed, and kissed her one kiss after another, wiping away the tears on her face.

They were an eyesore, and he was going to eat them all.
