The martial arts practitioners gathered outside the courtyard instinctively wanted to attack the black horse.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Before they could even get close to the black horse, they were shot down by a hidden weapon thrown by the woman in black.

What a bunch of useless trash!

Seeing Mu Wanqing break through the encirclement, Nalan Sheng couldn't help but curse inwardly.

Nalan Sheng originally planned to take the opportunity to play the hero and save the beauty, but he did not expect that so many people could not stop Mu Wanqing.

However, Mu Wanqing has many enemies, so Nalan Sheng is not worried about not having the opportunity to be a hero and save the beauty.

Therefore, Nalan Sheng's feet flashed with lightning, and he once again transformed into a blur, chasing after the direction Mu Wanqing had fled.

Nalan Sheng followed Mu Wanqing at a brisk pace for more than half an hour before seeing her stop by a stream.

"Hahaha……"

Just as Mu Wanqing dismounted and was about to take her black steed to the stream to drink and quench her thirst, a burst of laughter suddenly rang out.

A strange man, dressed in a yellow robe on his upper body and coarse cloth trousers on his lower body, with an ugly appearance and holding crocodile scissors, came running out of the woods not far away, laughing loudly.

"You brat, I, Yue Lao Er, have finally found you! Why aren't you giving me your life?"

Upon seeing Mu Wanqing, the man in the yellow robe showed no mercy whatsoever. He raised the alligator scissors in his hand and charged towards her.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Seeing this, Mu Wanqing raised her right hand without thinking and waved it, sending several poisoned darts hurtling towards the yellow-robed monster.

"Ding ding ding..."

Faced with the darts that came flying at him, the yellow-robed monster simply raised the alligator scissors in his hand and swung them wildly, knocking them all away.

Seeing that even her best hidden weapons were no match for the yellow-robed monster, Mu Wanqing's expression changed drastically, and she instinctively wanted to ride her black steed away from the place.

Unfortunately, before Mu Wanqing could even mount her horse, the yellow-robed monster had already rushed in front of her, raising his crocodile scissors to snip at her neck.

"Rip—"

Just when Mu Wanqing thought she was doomed, a lightning-infused afterimage suddenly appeared beside her, grabbed her waist, and took a half-step back, narrowly avoiding a fatal blow.

"Snap!!!"

As the gleaming alligator scissors snapped shut just inches from her head, Mu Wanqing's pupils constricted sharply, and she felt a chill run down her neck.

"Hey kid, where did you come from?"

The yellow-robed stranger, having missed his attack, did not launch another. Instead, he questioned Nalan Sheng, who was embracing Mu Wanqing, "How dare you ruin my plans? Are you perhaps this brat's lover?"

"Yue Laosan, don't make false accusations! I simply couldn't stand you bullying a weak woman!"

"Damn it, I'm Yue Lao Er!"

The Crocodile God of the South Sea hated being called Yue Laosan the most. Seeing that Nalan Sheng dared to call him Yue Laosan, he was so angry that he didn't care about Mu Wanqing anymore. He suddenly raised the crocodile scissors and cut towards Nalan Sheng's head.

"Bang!!!"

Before the crocodile scissors could even touch Nalan Sheng, a gunshot like thunder rang out out of nowhere, and a bloody hole appeared on the head of the South Sea Crocodile God.

"Times have changed, Yue Laosan!"

Nalan Sheng let out a cold laugh and put the Desert Eagle in his hand away again.

Upon seeing this, Mu Wanqing's mouth gaped open slightly, revealing an expression of disbelief.

Although Mu Wanqing had never met the Crocodile God of the South Sea before, she could guess his identity by looking at the weapon he used.

After all, Mu Wanqing had recently killed the disciple of the Crocodile God of the South Sea, so it was normal for him to come looking for revenge.

However, Mu Wanqing did not expect that the infamous Crocodile God of the South Sea would be defeated by Nalan Sheng in one move.

Taking advantage of Mu Wanqing's momentary daze, Nalan Sheng directly removed the veil from her face and asked, feigning ignorance, "Miss, since you are so beautiful, why do you wear a veil?"

It must be said that Mu Wanqing was indeed a great beauty, with a pretty and exquisite face, as clear as a crescent moon, as white as snow piled on flowering trees.

"you……"

Looking at the black veil in Nalan Sheng's hand, Mu Wanqing said with a mixture of shame and anger, "Give me back my veil right now."

"Girl, please don't be angry, I was just joking!"

Nalan Sheng paused mid-sentence, then added sincerely, "However, it is indeed a waste of a great beauty like you to keep your face veiled with black gauze all day long."

⁄(⁄⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄⁄)⁄

This was the first time Mu Wanqing had been praised like this, and her pretty face flushed slightly as she asked, "Do you really think I'm pretty?"

"Um!"

Nalan Sheng nodded affirmatively and said, "You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in this world."

Nalan Sheng had no intention of deceiving Mu Wanqing; he had only been in this world for less than half a day.

Besides Zhong Ling, Mu Wanqing was the second beautiful woman he had seen, and Mu Wanqing's looks were clearly superior to Zhong Ling's.

Hearing Nalan Sheng say this, Mu Wanqing couldn't help but feel a surge of joy, and then said shyly, "Then...then I'll marry you and be your wife, okay?"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Nalan Sheng's expression changed slightly, and he deliberately put on a surprised look.

"What? You don't want to marry me?"

Mu Wanqing frowned slightly, and her eyes turned cold.

If Nalan Sheng is unwilling to marry her, then Mu Wanqing will have no choice but to find a way to kill him.

"No, that's not it."

Nalan Sheng waved his hand and said, "To be able to marry a beauty like you is a blessing I have accumulated over three lifetimes."

"I just feel it's all too sudden; I don't even know the girl's name yet!"

Upon learning that Nalan Sheng was willing to marry her, the murderous intent in Mu Wanqing's beautiful eyes slowly dissipated. Instead, she parted her lips slightly and asked, "My name is Mu Wanqing. What's your name?"

"My surname is Nalan, and my given name is Sheng."

Nalan Shengchao Mu Wanqing cupped her hands and said, "Miss Mu, although I would very much like to marry a beauty like you, I am not the kind of person who would take advantage of someone's kindness."

If Miss Mu feels that I saved your life and therefore she should repay me with her body, then there is no need for that.

"I am not offering myself to you to repay your life-saving grace."

Mu Wanqing shook her head and said, "But I once made a poisonous oath in front of my master that I would either kill the first man who helped me remove my veil and see my face, or marry him."

You just saved my life, and I can't repay kindness with evil by killing you, so I have no choice but to marry you.

"I see."

Nalan Sheng nodded slightly and said, "Since Miss Mu once made such a solemn vow, I am willing to take responsibility for what I have done, and I will marry you."
