The Dramatic Crown Princess Wants to Poison Me!-Chapter 69: No Bottom Line

Huangfu Jingchen stood proudly, but did not respond to Ding Qi.

Bai Feichen frowned in distress, knowing that the people of Haotian Village always kept their word, so they couldn’t go back on their promise. But now they had to make their young lady serve as a slave for a year, and he couldn’t make that decision. Not to mention he was a hundred and eighty times unwilling; even if he agreed, how could the young lady still go back for her marriage? Besides, becoming a slave? That’s not easy at all?

But the "creditor" was still there demanding repayment, and the young lady had admitted the situation, they were indeed at fault.

Seeing Bai Feichen fall silent, Xia Wenjin patted his arm, "Uncle Bai, step aside!"

Bai Feichen frowned and said, "Xiao Jin, you still need to go back and get married, you really can’t go and be a slave!"

Xia Wenjin: "..." She would rather be a slave.

However, she still comforted him, saying, "Uncle Bai, don’t worry, I’ll be back soon." She walked past Bai Feichen, leisurely heading to the courtyard.

The people of Haotian Village saw her coming and immediately made way for her.

At this moment, Xia Wenjin walked leisurely through the crowd, looking relaxed, while Huangfu Jingchen seemed more like the prisoner.

Nevertheless, Huangfu Jingchen remained poised and upright, his back straight, not feeling at all out of place, even though he was surrounded by so many from Haotian Village.

Xia Wenjin stopped a few feet away from him, smiling cheerfully, "Chased all the way here? Tired?"

Huangfu Jingchen’s face darkened!

He had known she wasn’t dead.

To keep his jade pendant, she even resorted to faking her death to escape. If she hadn’t stood out so much among a group of bandits, he didn’t know how long it would have taken to track her down.

However, seeing Xia Wenjin smiling in front of him, a part of him quietly relaxed inside.

From the moment he saw her "body," even though he firmly believed she was alive, he couldn’t be sure. Now, she stood right in front of him, truly alive.

Although he was angry about her deception and for stealing his jade pendant, seeing her standing safe and sound before him allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief.

Huangfu Jingchen extended his hand, "Hand it over!"

Xia Wenjin sighed, rubbing her forehead as if unable to bear it, blinking her eyes, "You really do care more about money than your life. Do you even know where you are right now?"

"Even at the ends of the earth, you must return what’s mine!" Huangfu Jingchen said coldly.

With a smile on her face, Xia Wenjin said, "Young Master, for this year, I’m yours, so your things are naturally mine to keep on your behalf. In a year, I’ll return everything to you!"

Xia Wenjin’s words "I’m yours for this year" shocked everyone, including Huangfu Jingchen himself.

Bai Feichen was so startled his voice sharpened, "Xiao Jin, what are you saying?"

Xia Wenjin gave him a reassuring look and said, "For this year, I’m the servant of Young Master Huang, aren’t I his person then?" As she spoke, she even cast Huangfu Jingchen a coquettish glance.

Huangfu Jingchen: "..."

That damned Long Yang!

Luckily, it wasn’t a close contact, just a flirtatious glance, he handled it calmly.

Bai Feichen: "..."

Xia Wenjin sighed and said, "Young Master Huang, you are too reckless, although I ran away, and you’re angry, it wasn’t worth risking yourself. I’m a person who keeps my promises; if it weren’t beyond my control, I would have definitely come to find you. But look at your current situation... they are bandits, very fierce ones!"

As if to match Xia Wenjin’s words, from the shadows, Bai Feichen’s towering figure stepped out, his face stern, coldly snorting, "Where did this kid come from, daring to challenge Haotian Village, capture him alive!"

The people of Haotian Village were previously surrounding without attacking because they had no order. Now that the Fifth Village Chief gave the command, they instantly howled as they rushed toward Huangfu Jingchen.

Although his late-night intrusion seemed reckless, Huangfu Jingchen had come prepared. He believed even if they all rushed at him, he could still escape unscathed.

But he never expected these people to be so unscrupulous. As they attacked, they threw flour, chili powder, salt, knockout drugs, pebbles, sand... all sorts of things, mixed in with punches and kicks, creating utter chaos.

Huangfu Jingchen was caught completely off guard by this shameless tactic. When had he ever seen such a shameless way of fighting?

These people weren’t lacking in martial arts skills, and the things they threw were well-coordinated. Huangfu Jingchen waved his sleeve to fend them off wave after wave...

Even Xia Wenjin was stunned. This wasn’t right. Didn’t Uncle Bai say he was trustworthy, but now there were no limits, leaving her in the dust?

Bai Feichen laughed heartily, "Kid, if you take Xiao Jin away, how can she still get married? You’ve heard the saying ’Better break ten temples than ruin one marriage,’ right?"

Then, he leaped like an eagle grabbing a chick, catching Huangfu Jingchen, whose face was covered in flour, in the attempt to escape, and quickly sealed his acupoints. Then he commanded heroically, "Tie him up!"

Turning around, he reprimanded the people of Haotian Village, "You wasted so much! Have you emptied the kitchen of the inn? Clean up quickly, and if the innkeeper asks tomorrow, don’t confess, or you’ll have to pay for it!"

Xia Wenjin: "..."

She covered her face quietly, retreating to the side.

Don’t ask who she is, she doesn’t know these people!

With his eyes unable to open and his acupoints sealed, Huangfu Jingchen was quickly and thoroughly tied up.

Bai Feichen laughed, "Xiao Jin, don’t even think about running away, no one can save you, just go back and get married obediently!"

Xia Wenjin: "..."

The old ginger is indeed spicier, her little thoughts were seen through by Bai Feichen at a glance.

Bai Feichen had Huangfu Jingchen thrown into an empty room, loudly ordering, "Chop him up for the journey tomorrow!"

Turning back, with a friendly smile, he said, "Xiao Jin, we still need to travel tomorrow, go to bed early!"

What else could Xia Wenjin say? She went back to her room dejectedly.

Huangfu Jingchen lay quietly in the room.

Upon hearing the words slave and servant, the people of Haotian Village did not treat Huangfu Jingchen kindly, thinking he was too audacious to even consider making their young lady a servant.

So, he was casually thrown on the ground.

Huangfu Jingchen didn’t mind, pursing his lips, his gaze deep and dark.

His Jianghu experience was still lacking, he thought he was ready to face many opponents, but he didn’t expect them to fight dirty, which threw him off briefly. But Bai Feichen, with his sharp eyes, immediately noticed this slight mistake, and captured him.

The lively exterior returned to silence, his appearance like a stone breaking the surface of the water, causing a moment of chaos, but like a stone in water, once the ripples spread, calm returned.

Except for his face covered in flour, he didn’t inhale knockout drugs, nor did the chili powder harm him. The ropes tied him up tight, but those weren’t a problem, the issue was with his acupoints sealed.
