Whoosh—
In a burrow.
Luo Nangui poked his head out and looked ahead.
On the flat grassland, a small wooden cabin stood out of place.
In front of the cabin was a patch of forest that had been nearly chopped bare.
"Huh? What's Ye Wangchuan doing, chopping trees for no reason?"
Luo Nangui scratched his head in confusion.
But none of that mattered now.
The most important thing was to save the young lady!
With that thought, Luo Nangui pulled out a half-heart-shaped stone from his pocket.
This stone, of course, was also a system item.
Its function was simple and straightforward.
The closer two heart-shaped stones were to each other, the brighter they would glow.
It was thanks to this that Luo Nangui had been able to find this place.
Otherwise, searching through such a vast realm would have taken who knows how long.
Luo Nangui checked the brightness of the stone.
Confirming that he was heading in the right direction, he waved his hand and led the group of people behind him forward.
This time, he had come prepared!
He had brought five companions from the Murong family!
He refused to believe that a group fight wouldn't be enough to take down Ye Wangchuan!
Soon.
The Murong family group, using their burrowing method, got closer and closer to the cabin on the grassland.
When they were only a hundred meters away from the other stone.
Luo Nangui stopped.
He carefully dug open the ground above and quietly peeked out.
And then...
He saw his young lady, Murong, wearing matching outfits with Ye Wangchuan!
Murong was lying in Ye Wangchuan's arms, looking utterly shy!
And the young lady's expression... seemed to be enjoying it!
"Pfft!"
Luo Nangui pulled his head back underground and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Brother Luo Nangui! What's wrong?"
Several underlings looked at Luo Nangui with concern.
Luo Nangui wiped the blood from his mouth and explained.
"I'm fine. I just saw Young Lady Murong being forced into Ye Wangchuan's embrace, and it made me so angry that I felt a bit of rage burning in my heart."
"That Ye Wangchuan is truly despicable! We must avenge the young lady!"
Luo Nangui's words successfully riled up the other servants.
"That damn Ye Wangchuan, how dare he do such a thing!"
"Exactly, the young lady is proud and aloof. She would never willingly let a man hold her."
"Ye Wangchuan must be a greedy and lustful scoundrel, obsessed with the young lady's beauty!"
A bit of anger can boost morale and sharpen the spirit.
Seeing this, Luo Nangui was quite satisfied.
It seemed that his usual preaching of the "Young Lady Murong is the best" ideology in the Murong family had successfully spread.
"No time to waste, let's charge!"
Luo Nangui waved his hand and began rapidly digging toward Ye Wangchuan's location.
......
......
On the grassland.
Ye Wangchuan's lips curled into a slight smile.
As expected, they've arrived.
Fortunately, he had been paying attention to his surroundings, allowing him to vaguely notice the moment Luo Nangui peeked out.
If he had been even slightly distracted, he might not have noticed the tunnel they had dug.
"They're here. Do as we planned."
Ye Wangchuan whispered to the puppet.
The puppet nodded in response.
After a moment.
Boom!
A patch of land suddenly exploded.
Six servants leaped out, charging toward Ye Wangchuan.
Among them was Luo Nangui.
Luo Nangui's lips curled into a smirk.
At this distance, Ye Wangchuan had nowhere to run!
If Ye Wangchuan dared to detonate those explosive talismans from before, he would be blown away on the spot!
Moreover, since Luo Nangui was at his peak condition, he could forcibly share the damage with Murong.
Therefore, he wasn't worried about Ye Wangchuan using Murong as a hostage to threaten them!
Everything was foolproof!
Ye Wangchuan, your biggest mistake was crossing me!
Just as Luo Nangui was feeling smug inside.
"Everyone, stop!"
The puppet's loud shout made all the servants halt, including Luo Nangui.
After all, Luo Nangui had taught these servants that the young lady's orders were above all else!
Even Luo Nangui's own commands were not as high-priority as the young lady's!
Ye Wangchuan smirked arrogantly at Luo Nangui.
He spoke, "Luo Nangui? Your young lady and I are clearly friends. What are you trying to do here?"
Hearing this, Luo Nangui immediately grew furious.
He pointed at Ye Wangchuan and angrily retorted, "Friends? You're no friend! I saw how you didn't hesitate to throw a spear at the young lady back then."
Ye Wangchuan chuckled lightly, "Ah, you're wrong about that. Shouldn't you ask your young lady if we're friends or not?"
With that, Ye Wangchuan raised his hand and pinched the puppet's cheek, saying, "Isn't that right?"
"Ye Wangchuan, you bastard!"
Seeing Ye Wangchuan pinch his young lady's face, Luo Nangui immediately prepared to rush forward and beat him up.
At that moment.
The puppet's face turned red, and she meekly said, "Ye... Ye Wangchuan is indeed my friend. It was just a misunderstanding before. Please don't look at him like that."
"..."
Everyone froze.
Some of the servants glanced at Ye Wangchuan's figure, appearance, and attire, letting out teasing "Oh~" sounds.
Others looked at Luo Nangui with pitying expressions.
Luo Nangui was momentarily stunned, then frowned and continued.
"Young Lady! Are you being threatened?"
"Don't worry! With so many of us here, and my ability to share damage, we can subdue Ye Wangchuan in an instant if you give the order. He won't be able to harm you at all!"
At that moment.
"No need for all that trouble."
Ye Wangchuan stood up.
At the same time, he picked up the puppet and brought her over to Luo Nangui before setting her down.
Ye Wangchuan looked down at the puppet and straightforwardly asked.
"Murong, do you like me, or do you like Luo Nangui?"
"Of course, it's Luo Nangui!"
The puppet followed the script Ye Wangchuan had given her earlier.
Hearing this, Luo Nangui's face lit up with joy.
As expected!
The young lady still thinks of me!
Then, Ye Wangchuan smirked mischievously and added, "Then, tonight, do you want to stay here with me, or go back with Luo Nangui?"
The puppet's face turned red, and she buried her face in Ye Wangchuan's chest, saying nothing.
But at this moment, silence spoke louder than words.
The servants looked at Murong in Ye Wangchuan's arms, then turned to glance at Luo Nangui.
Some even let out a few "tsk tsk" sounds.
As for Luo Nangui, he remained silent for a moment.
The next second, a trickle of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
It was blood from biting his own tongue.
"The young lady must have been brainwashed or hypnotized! I'll take her away! All of you, kill Ye Wangchuan!"
Luo Nangui roared, swiftly pulling the puppet out of Ye Wangchuan's arms!
The surrounding servants immediately pounced.
They might have been watching the drama earlier, but they fully believed Luo Nangui's words.
There was no way the young lady would suddenly fall for someone else!
For the young lady, fight!!!!!
Seeing this, Ye Wangchuan frowned slightly and drew a long spear, engaging in combat with the servants.
Meanwhile, Luo Nangui took the opportunity to escape.
