You Cannot Afford To Offend My Woman

Chapter 767 (Yue Hua vs. Cang Konghong)

In a daze, Mu Ran once again looked at Cang Konghong. It seemed that every time she faced a critical moment in life, he would unhesitatingly protect herself... even if she had just made a mistake moments ago, he still acted this way.

”Miss,” Tang Wei also came over at this moment, supporting Mu Ran. Wei Chang stood beside Tang Wei, puzzled by the Emperorʼs script.

A tragedy of tortured love, a rescue drama, or a life-and-death scenario?

Mu Ran gazed at Tang Wei in a daze, suddenly feeling wronged; she hadnʼt meant it that way just now.

”Tang Sister, Iʼm sorry.” Mu Ran, who had always been strong, unexpectedly started crying out of grievance. This was completely caused by Ye Huaʼs misunderstanding, and of course, their forgiveness. At this moment, no one blamed her for what had happened; they still protected her.

Especially Cang Konghong...

”Miss, donʼt we know your personality well? Everyone makes mistakes.” Tang Wei consoled her with care.

Mu Ran had always faced smooth sailing and rarely experienced setbacks. Even in the Divine Steppes, the Emperor dared not easily accuse her, as Mu Ran had the powerful Supreme Spirit Sect behind her.

However, Mu Ran overlooked one thing: this was not the Divine Steppes, and the person sitting above was not her own Emperor, but an Emperor who truly deserved the title of a tyrant. Those he wanted to kill would not be spared because of any formidable backing.

Not even if the heavens themselves were backing them—the Emperor would execute them without hesitation.

Cang Konghong was helpless just now, carrying out a secret mission from the Emperor to protect Mu Ran.

Mu Ran was about to be punished, why did Cang Konghong step forward?

In fact, Cang Konghong had also hesitated just now. Should he continue with the secret mission or intervene? When Mu Ran was lifted up for the second time, Cang Konghong decided to continue the mission.

Lie Gu, who stood nearby, seemed to understand the Emperorʼs intention, and not just Lie Gu—others more or less grasped it too.

Was the Emperor orchestrating a melodramatic plot?

These subordinates were overthinking it. Ye Hua didnʼt have so many considerations; he just wanted to strike Mu Ran a little.

Mu Ran shouldnʼt have things too easy. Experiencing setbacks would make her realise her shortcomings. The true self was only realised through overcoming hardships. Mu Ranʼs calm attitude just now irritated him.

Yes, Mu Ran did have some wits, but in Ye Huaʼs eyes, she was just a person with brains. If she maintained this attitude, what use was she to him?

Did she really think he desperately wanted her to join them? What a joke!

”The guard who attacked this Emperor, Mu Ran, you and your guard have quite the audacity!” Ye Hua said with a heavy voice, emanating a sense of killing intent.

A bunch of people trying to deceive a poor young girl. They were all in cahoots...

Mu Ran hurriedly knelt down and pleaded, ”Your Majesty, Cang Konghong didnʼt mean it. He was only trying to save me.”

”He is indeed loyal. How do you suggest we handle this matter?” Ye Hua countered. This was also a part of the test, to see how well Mu Ran could handle this situation.

Of course, the subordinates were well aware. The Emperor had started testing, and they were truly fearful of the Emperorʼs tests.

Especially Dou Fushi in the group unconsciously took a step back, shrouded in shadows.

Mu Ran thought quickly. She didnʼt mind her own fate, but she needed to find a way to ensure their safety.

However, there was no way to absolve the attack on the Emperorʼs person. It was impossible.

”Your Majesty, Iʼll exchange my Heavenly Dao Soul to ensure their safety.” Mu Ran had no other options and was willing to offer her own Heavenly Dao Soul.

This was nearly tantamount to sacrificing herself. Extracting Heavenly Dao Soul would not only cost her life force, but it would also lead to her eventually withering away.

Ye Hua was well aware of the significance of Heavenly Dao Soul. He found this proposal somewhat surprising.

They had known Mu Ran for only about a month, and she was willing to exchange her Heavenly Dao Soul for their safety.

It had to be said that Mu Ran was a humane girl, even though she could be quite foolish at times, her mind was straightforward.

The sneak attack just now was the best outcome. Mu Ran was still too upright.

If Mu Ran were a bit more cunning, she wouldnʼt have angered the King. But precisely because of her honesty, Wei Chang had taken an interest in her and had recommended her so strongly.

”Heavenly Dao Soul, thatʼs an interesting proposal.” Ye Hua said in a soft voice.

Mu Ran breathed a sigh of relief, thinking he had agreed.

”However, this Emperor isnʼt interested in your Heavenly Dao Soul. This Emperor has no interest in that.”

Mu Ranʼs anxiety resurfaced as she slumped into uncertainty again. ”Your Majesty, everything was my fault. They only offended Your Majesty to protect me. I beg for Your Majestyʼs forgiveness.”

”Didnʼt you say that just now? This Emperor is a tyrant, and recklessly killing seems to be within the duties of a tyrant. This Emperor is just playing the part of the tyrant in your eyes.”

”I...,” Mu Ran found herself speechless, realising she had indeed spoken those words...

This Emperor was quite formidable... He had managed to crush her in words alone.

”Howʼs that? Has the Saintess been rendered speechless?” Ye Hua asked calmly. His skill with words had certainly improved over time; he effortlessly left this genius at a loss for words with just a few sentences.

”I...,”

Ye Hua looked at Cang Konghong, then glanced at Yue Hua.

”I do have an idea. I can forgive all of your wrongdoings!”

Hearing this, Mu Ran seemed to glimpse hope. ”Your Majesty is merciful.”

”Hehe, now you understand my mercy. Earlier, you shamelessly claimed I was a tyrant.”

Qing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi suppressed their laughter in their hearts. Ye Hua, the penny-pincher, really had frightened everyone.

Mu Ran lowered her head in silence, realising she had learned many things today.

”I see that this guard of yours is loyal and courageous. Letʼs see how much he is willing to give for you.”

Mu Ran was a bit confused.

”Yue Hua!” Ye Hua called out.

Yue Hua, within the group, was briefly taken aback and then respectfully stepped forward, saying, ”Your Majesty! I am here!”

”You shall spar with this loyal and courageous individual here, letʼs see how much he lives up to that reputation!”

This statement left everyone baffled.

They were making Yue Hua fight Cang Konghong!

This... didnʼt seem appropriate. Their relationship was already strained; this would only make it worse. Werenʼt they going to avoid each other forever?

Even Yue Hua didnʼt understand the Emperorʼs intention at the moment. Among so many people, why did he specifically ask Yue Hua to come out and spar with Cang Konghong?

The crucial point was this:

Cang Konghong was currently only at the level of a ”Fighter.” It was evident that the Emperor intended to beat him to a pulp. Yue Hua couldnʼt bring himself to do it.

At this moment, Cang Konghong was also bewildered. He couldnʼt fathom the Emperorʼs intentions—why was he having Yue Hua fight him? It was perplexing...

Not just Cang Konghong; even Qing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi didnʼt understand Ye Huaʼs purpose.

In fact, Ye Hua was granting them a release. Their standoff had no breakthrough point, and it would never be resolved.

Today, he intended for Cang Konghong to understand a lesson: this woman was no longer the person he imagined her to be! She belonged to someone else now!

She could hurt him! Donʼt hold onto even the slightest illusion anymore!

Because itʼs not worth it.
