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

Chapter 171 The Irresponsible Woman
Inside the attic, Shi Nuanyu leaned against the small couch, amused as she watched the man who was almost shoved into the corner. He had been like this ever since she came back.

"You're the one who kissed me, so why are you acting like this, being bullied?"

He never tried covering his face and burying himself in the corner, no matter how much she talked until her throat was dry, he didn't respond at all.

Shi Nuanyu had really lost her patience, and it was as if she was bullying a young, unmarried man.

She picked up a cushion and threw it at him forcefully, shouting, "Are you alive or dead? Make a sound!"

She waited for a while, and just as he was about to continue hiding, a faint voice rang out.

"squeak."

Shi Nuanyu waited for him to continue, but then there was no further response.

Just as she was about to lie back on the small couch, a figure jumped through the window and startled them.

"elder sister."

Before she could ask, the boy threw himself into her arms, looking aggrieved.

Shi Nuanyu touched his slightly damp robes, "Did you get caught in the rain last night?"

He crouched in the corner, not having tried on the mask properly, his ears twitching slightly as he tried to discern the sounds outside. After a few breaths, he spoke seriously.

"There are about thirty people heading towards Chunri Tower."

"Someone's here to cause trouble," Shi Nuanyu said, looking at the pitiful-looking boy with a knowing look in her eyes. "But did they spot you?"

As one of the seven male protagonists in the book, the young man is quite powerful and it's impossible for him to be exposed so easily.

Hua Lingyan's eyes showed helplessness, and he lowered his head guiltily.

“Ah Ling won’t be discovered. On her way back, she encountered a doctor dressed in blue. He stopped Ah Ling and shouted for people to arrest her.”

A doctor in blue robes.

Shi Nuanyu grasped the two keywords, and a figure appeared in her mind.

Before she could think it through, and before she could even try to describe the man's appearance in a sarcastic or eerie way, she was still in the process.

"That man was a pretty boy, with a brocade pouch embroidered with plum blossoms at his waist, and wearing an ugly blue robe, going around seducing people?"

Hua Lingyan blinked and nodded obediently, "Yes, he grabbed A-Ling and wouldn't let her leave, saying that A-Ling was an assassin. In her anxiety, A-Ling injured him, which gave her the chance to run back to see her sister."

The boy looked so pitiful with tears in his eyes that Shi Nuanyu touched his face with heartache.

After all this commotion, the martial arts alliance should have realized what was happening, which is why they brought people to chase after them.

"How could this man be so vicious?" Wei Wei cursed. "These past two days, he's been trying to find opportunities to bump into that poisonous woman every day. What is he up to?"

He crossed his arms and snorted coldly, looking the composed woman up and down.

"We can't expect someone to volunteer themselves; what if they're tempted?"

Shi Nuanyu laughed, "We haven't tried yet. If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute."

Just a moment ago it was acting like a quail, but now it's turned into a fiercely competitive miser.

"Sister, have you really fallen for that young master?"

The boy's eyes dimmed as he slowly stepped out of her embrace.

"If Sister likes that young master, will she still like Ah Ling?"

They hadn't even tried to make a scene big enough, so they didn't hold back in attacking him.

"No, that clueless pretty boy is good at gaining sympathy. This morning, he put on a show of being bullied in front of the poisonous woman. Someone was bewitched by his good looks and eagerly went to save him."

Hua Lingyan's pupils contracted, her eyes reddened slightly, and tears fell one by one.

The two of them were singing in unison, and Shi Nuanyu could no longer bear it. She yelled at the man who was watching the drama unfold.

"Shut up if you haven't tried it yet."

“You,” Wei Zengshi stared at her in disbelief, “Shi Nuanyu, you have taken liberties with me. If you don’t want to take responsibility, fine, but you even yelled at me for some random man outside.”

After other men kissed her, she would throw herself into their arms and pour out her heart, spouting words of responsibility and affection as if they were free.

When it came to him, not only was there no promise or expression of affection, but he was also yelled at by her for no reason. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, wishing he could kill that man right now.

Shi Nuanyu rolled up her sleeves and retorted, "I haven't even tried! When have I ever taken liberties with you? It was clearly you..."

The two, noisy and confused, did not see the murderous intent that flashed in Hua Lingyan's eyes. He glanced at her indifferently.

“Miss A Yuan, an assassin infiltrated the Martial Alliance last night. Please do me a favor and inform them. Only when I see that the princess is safe can I feel at ease.”

Wei Chao spoke with genuine sincerity, putting on a show of genuine concern for the princess.

A-Yuan remained unmoved, standing ramrod straight in front of the door, her surging killing intent relentlessly pressing towards him.

"Anyone who disturbs the princess's rest shall die."

Wei Chao's face contorted for a moment as he let the internal energy strike him, and a mouthful of bright red blood spilled from his mouth.

"I have offended you greatly, and I hope Miss A Yuan will forgive me."

The three people upstairs had already stopped fighting when they spoke, and they climbed neatly onto the small couch to look outside.

"How mighty! Ah Yuan truly lives up to her name; a single sharp glance is enough to force the martial arts alliance leader to back down."

Shi Nuanyu exclaimed, "One person is like a thousand troops, that's amazing!"

Without having tried, he scoffed, "Wei Chao is a bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong. He doesn't dare offend His Highness, so he tries to bully His Highness's maid to save face, but he didn't expect the maid to be such a tough nut to crack."

Before he was nine years old, he truly believed that Wei Chao was a loving father.

When his mother was training him, he always said that as the son of the leader of the martial arts alliance, he didn't need to work hard. Now that I think about it, he was already paving the way for his childhood sweetheart.

“What a hypocrite,” Shi Nuanyu chimed in, glancing at Wei Chao below who was apologizing, a wicked smile playing on her lips.

Turning her head to look at the boy beside her, she gently comforted him, "Ah Ling, go take a bath first. Once this is over, I'll come find you."

Hua Lingyan's eyes lit up, and she quickly ran to the bathroom.

Having never seen this before, he snorted in dissatisfaction and lay on the small couch, sulking.

Shi Nuanyu raised her eyebrows slightly, a mischievous thought forming in her mind. She reached out and slapped his upturned buttocks.

"Alright, you have things to do too, go on."

Before he could even try, he shuddered, clutching his backside and quickly retreating a few steps. "You, you, you, Shi Nuanyu, you're flirting with me!"

Shi Nuanyu shrugged indifferently, "At worst, you can take the picture back."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man jumped out of the window.

She chuckled to herself, thinking to herself: What a coward.

Hearing the commotion inside the building, Wei Chao stopped in his tracks and gave his subordinates a signal to act secretly.

"The leader of the martial arts alliance has quite the nerve, trying to outsmart me right here."

Shi Nuanyu slowly walked downstairs, glanced at the people who came in with disdain, and sat down on a chair.

The maids served him in an orderly manner.

"Princess, please forgive me," Wei Chao knelt on the ground. "This humble subject was truly worried about the princess's safety, which is why I had no choice but to offend Miss A Yuan."

He lowered his head, a fleeting look of humiliation in his eyes.

“Oh,” Shi Nuanyu tapped the tea table lightly with her fingertips, “An assassin infiltrated the Martial Alliance, putting me in danger. Wei Chao, what is your punishment?”

Wei Chao's face was deathly pale, and he lowered his body and crawled on the ground.

"The Martial Alliance has made such a grave mistake that I dare not defend myself. I beg Your Highness to spare the members of the Martial Alliance in consideration of their efforts. I would gladly die for this cause."

With just a few words, she was portrayed as a violent person. If she were to retaliate and massacre the martial arts alliance, she would have another crime on her record.

That's a clever plan.

Shi Nuanyu's eyes turned slightly cold as she followed his words, "What you mean is that I should kill everyone in the Martial Alliance?"

"Wei Chao, even if you want to solidify your position as the leader of the martial arts alliance, you shouldn't have done something like killing all the younger generation."

Unlike the original owner, she wasn't easily swayed by others' emotions.
