The Dramatic Crown Princess Wants to Poison Me!-Chapter 102: Brother Zheng

A few people looked at the two teenagers in front of them.

Xia Wenjin, with arched eyebrows and eyes full of laughter, seemed innocent and harmless. Despite her adeptness in speaking, her eyes appeared to pierce directly into one’s heart, leaving no place to hide. However, her undeveloped stature gave off a slight sense of childishness.

Huangfu Jingchen, standing tall and straight, exuded a cool indifference, his whole demeanor noble and elegant like the phoenix dancing in majestic splendor, untouched by worldly matters.

However, because their appearances were so exceptional, like celestial beings or paintings, and their young age, they inevitably garnered some disdain from these people.

Perhaps, they were just some young hotheads eager for merit, sneaking out from home?

Mountain Goat Beard demanded, "Who are you?"

Xia Wenjin replied, "We are government officers, do you believe it?"

Huangfu Jingchen: "..."

This question clearly aimed to make people disbelieve, didn’t it?

Mountain Goat Beard sneered, "Government officers? Brat, are you weaned? How dare you flaunt authority here? Do government officers know the secret signals of the Jianghu? Do they have the guts to barge in here with just the two of you?"

Xia Wenjin laughed, "Admitting it openly, are we?"

At this moment, two more burly men entered from outside and shook their heads at Mountain Goat Beard.

This Mountain Goat Beard was cautious; there were lookouts outside who traced Xia Wenjin and the other’s path for a while and, finding nothing unusual, came to report.

"Admitting it openly, so what? With just the two of you, do you think you can do anything to us? You shall stay here too!" Mountain Goat Beard confirmed there was no one following the two and, assuming they merely trespassed, his attitude changed.

Such two people could not be government officers. Perhaps they were scions of a Jianghu family out for experience, knowing some Jianghu lingo, with some skills, assuming they were invincible.

With Mountain Goat Beard’s command, five people immediately encircled and trapped Huangfu Jingchen and Xia Wenjin. Mountain Goat Beard stroked his beard and sneered, "Brats, let grandpa teach you a lesson today; the Jianghu is perilous, not a place for naive children like you to roam freely!"

Huangfu Jingchen’s gaze turned fierce. He knew some villains had foul mouths, but to start by calling themselves elders was truly infuriating. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Xia Wenjin retorted angrily, "I initially wanted to give you a chance, hand over the person, and all could be negotiated. Since you’re courting death, let this young master play with you!" She prepared to take action.

Huangfu Jingchen grabbed her and pulled her behind him, whispering, "Let me handle this, you protect yourself!"

Xia Wenjin looked at Huangfu Jingchen in surprise; protect herself? Wasn’t this guy always eager to stay as far away from her as possible?

Nonetheless, this action was quite manly.

Thinking it over, Xia Wenjin reckoned that perhaps her skills weren’t on par with Huangfu Jingchen’s, so she decided to stand by as support and assist if he couldn’t manage.

Thus, she promptly agreed, "Alright!"

Surprisingly obedient? Huangfu Jingchen couldn’t help but curl his lips into a smile, his mood significantly lifted.

As his gaze swept across the five men, sharp as an eagle, he thought they, who abducted innocent women for profit, ignoring the suffering of broken families, did not deserve to live.

Mountain Goat Beard also instructed, "Quick battle, we can’t linger here, we must leave soon!"

Whether those people attacked first or Huangfu Jingchen did, in a flash, punches were thrown, white garments fluttering, and soon the field’s situation was apparent. Huangfu Jingchen’s swift moves quickly overpowered the brawny men, allowing him to take them down within a few moves.

Four men were already knocked down. The lean and sturdy man had slightly better skills and was still holding on, ensuring that Xia Wenjin didn’t have to intervene.

Watching Huangfu Jingchen’s mighty display, she clapped her hands and laughed, "Brother Zheng is amazing, amazing, amazing!"

Huangfu Jingchen, preparing to subdue the sturdy man with another move, stumbled slightly at her words, nearly falling, allowing the man to evade.

He turned back, annoyed and embarrassed, snapping, "Shut up!"

Xia Wenjin playfully stuck out her tongue, making a face at him.

The little pink tongue mischievously sticking out, looking both charmingly cute, made Huangfu Jingchen’s heart involuntarily flutter; abruptly, he pinched his own thigh.

Damn it, what was he thinking?

That’s Long Yang, Long Yang!

He doesn’t like men, he doesn’t like men!

Repeating this mental construct several times, he finally regained composure. Fortunately, the sturdy man was no match for him, otherwise, being distracted could have brought trouble.

Seeing no advantageous situation, Mountain Goat Beard’s eyes darted around as he tried to flee, ducking low.

But after only three steps, a small bag was hurled at his head.

The small bag, soft upon impact, didn’t fall off. Mountain Goat Beard instinctively grabbed it and discovered it was a small purse. Out of habit, he pinched to feel what was inside, and with the pinch, powder spewed out, covering his face.

He screamed, letting out a pig-slaughtering wail as tears streamed from his eyes.

The powder turned out to be chili powder.

The searing pain in his eyes made him forget to escape, clutching his eyes in agony.

When Huangfu Jingchen looked over, Xia Wenjin gave him a radiant smile, bright as the sun, "No need to thank me, it’s what I should do!"

Huangfu Jingchen: "..."

He was just surprised. Was there a need to thank her?

Nonetheless, well done!

The lean man, though the best fighter among them, was no match for Huangfu Jingchen. Seeing his companions routed, his morale crumbled, allowing Huangfu Jingchen to sweep him off his feet and immobilize him with a precise strike, rendering him unable to move.

Huangfu Jingchen turned and asked, "Do you have any rope?"

Xia Wenjin patted her waist.

Huangfu Jingchen understood, realizing his question was rash. They had hurriedly come out, with no rope. But why did Xia Wenjin pat her waist?

His gaze unavoidably drifted to her waist, accompanied by the memory of her playful pink tongue flicking out, causing a ripple in his heart again, prompting him to pinch himself once more, suppressing these ridiculous thoughts.

Simultaneously, a thread of anxiety arose inside him.

This kid doesn’t intend to return his Jade Pendant, staying only because he can’t escape; although Xia Wenjin is Long Yang, the one stirred up was him alone?

He was getting more and more out of sorts.

How could he... towards a man...

No, this is an illusion! He isn’t! He hasn’t! He would never harbor such thoughts!

Xia Wenjin, unaware of Huangfu Jingchen’s inner turmoil, revealed a teasing smile, flipping her sleeve open, and said, "No rope, but I have this!"

Huangfu Jingchen: "..."

Isn’t this the silver thread she used to tie sparrow legs earlier? This thing can bind a person?
