My Princess Holds Superpowers

Chapter 91: Can the person he seeks refuge with protect him?

Looking at the sky, it had almost turned dark, and this was not a place to linger. Sikong Mo got up, covering his wound, and slowly walked away.

Not far away, Si Bei, who had been tasked by Sikong Mo to contact his subordinates, returned only to find that Sikong Mo and Si Nan had been chased and separated. He and his men had been searching for a day and a night with no clue in sight.

Feeling both irritated and uneasy, Sikong Mo suddenly appeared not far away.

Si Bei immediately knelt down, “Prince, I have arrived late, please punish me.”

After traveling some distance, Sikong Mo began to feel weak again. At this moment, he didn’t respond but just raised his hand to signal Si Bei to rise, “How is Si Nan?”

“He was slashed several times, and he has been taken to the medical hall,” said Si Bei, filled with murderous intent. Then he asked, “How are your wounds, Prince?”

“It’s nothing serious,” replied Sikong Mo. In a turn, he commanded, “The girl who sold medicine at the medical hall last time, arrange for someone to protect her.”

“Prince?” Si Bei was stunned. Their master had always despised women, and here he was asking him to arrange protection for a mere maid? Had he misheard, or had his wise and mighty Prince misspoken?

“For all these years, she is the only one who has touched me without triggering my rage,” Sikong Mo sighed.

“Understood,” Si Bei instantly grasped the situation.

Because of certain incidents, the Prince disliked women. When facing them, he reacted as if facing poison, any closeness leading him to a murderous frenzy. All these years, there had been no exceptions, and those women with impure intentions who tried to seduce the Prince invariably paid with their lives.

Because of this, the entire world knew that Dongyue’s War God King could not be near women.

However, the Prince’s dislike for women was one thing, and the War Prince Residence might manage without a Princess Consort, but it could not go without an heir.

The Prince was the only successor of his line; the vast War Prince Residence couldn’t lack descendants to carry on the bloodline.

In an instant, Si Bei thought of many things, even ideas that Sikong Mo himself had not considered, showing how worried he was about his master having no wife at the age of twenty.

Sikong Mo had walked a few steps, then turned around and said, “On second thought, don’t arrange for someone to go after all. Just send her two thousand silver notes as a token of gratitude for saving my life.”

Silver was something Sikong Mo was not short of, but the girl lacked support. Giving her too much might bring danger instead.

Moreover, right now, many were only too eager for his demise. The girl was just an ordinary farm lass; his rash decision to have someone watch over her would only expose her to others and potentially bring immeasurable harm. It was better not to stir up unnecessary trouble.

“Understood,” Si Bei, although not knowing why his master had suddenly changed his mind, knew that whatever the command, right or wrong, he had to follow it.

Si Bei looked up and spoke again, “Prince, the County Magistrate of Shuangxi Town has probably been colluding with the old Princess Consort for some time. I’ve received the news that the County Magistrate Residence’s people spotted us as soon as we arrived at the medical hall. Later, the tracking of you and Si Nan was done by the assassins connected with the County Magistrate Residence.”

“Heh!”

“Then let him see if the person he has allied with can protect him when it really matters!” There was a flash of bloodthirst in Sikong Mo’s eyes.

…

When Ye Jiu descended the mountain, the sky was nearly completely dark; she hurriedly delivered the bowl to Zhuzi’s home and then rushed back to her own.

At this late hour, she hadn’t returned home yet, and she could only wonder how worried they must be.
