"No!" Su Ranran exclaimed in shock, wanting to stop it, but her hands were tightly held by the guards behind her, and she could only watch helplessly as the heart that had just started beating again burst with blood, splattering Chu Yuan's face.
He slowly turned his head, his eyes filled with a bloodthirsty frenzy, still wearing a smile, but under the backdrop of bloodstains, that smile appeared particularly grim.
Xiao Zhu remained unconscious, his consciousness not yet clear. His body suddenly convulsed, then returned to calmness.
She is completely dead.
"Madman! Madman!" Su Ranran could no longer understand the man in front of her.
He is a complete lunatic! A p*****t!
She angrily asked, "Why?"
Chu Yuan licked the blood at the corner of his mouth and said with satisfaction, "I only wanted you to demonstrate your medical skills. When did I ever say I would spare your lives?"
Su Ranran couldn't believe it and said, "Me... us? Are you still going to kill me?"
Chu Yuan looked at her with appreciation as she displayed a mix of anger and despair on her face. He loved this, the feeling of rendering others powerless.
"You killed me, you will also die, no one will save you!" Su Ranran said angrily.
Chu Yuan raised his hand, pulled the cotton cloth off her face, and grabbed her chin with his blood-stained hand, quickly leaving a glaring blood red mark on her fair face.
"When did I ever say that I wanted to save myself?" Chu Yuan's eyes curved as he admired the despairing yet beautiful face of the woman in front of him.
He never thought about saving himself. The time he had left was enough to complete his mission, and once it was done, he would destroy everything in this world, including himself.
How could it be her turn to save him.
Simply naive, a joke.
Su Ranran looked at the man in front of her, with a face half fair and half bloodstained, and those eyes that seemed to be smiling but not really. His phoenix eyes were clear and shallow, but his pupils were extremely deep, making her unable to see through him at all.
"Do you not want to live?" she asked with difficulty.
"Why do you want to live?" Chu Yuan asked mischievously in return.
She was stunned by such an obvious question, paused for a moment before answering, "Of course, everyone wants to live, every life is precious!"
"Is that so? Well, I prefer tearing them apart." Chu Yuan said, and ordered the guards to bring all the people caught last night to kneel outside in the courtyard.
Following a gesture from him, the guards raised their knives and in an instant, the heads of about ten people fell to the ground, blood splattering everywhere.
Su Ranran was shocked to the core as she watched this scene, her heart trembling for a long time unable to savor it again.
Although she tried to tell herself that this was just a world in a book, these people were just characters on a page in the real world, but the smell of blood and warmth made her very uncomfortable, almost nauseous.
"You are very beautiful," Chu Yuan said as he gently stroked her cheek with his hand, feeling its soft and smooth texture.
His hand was somewhat cold, causing Su Ranran to shiver involuntarily and resist such a touch.
Chuyuan smiled and suddenly bent down to capture her lips, exploring them intimately.
Suddenly, two cold lips covered her lips, a mixture of charm and blood rushed in, Su Ranran's eyes widened in shock. This surprise allowed the other party to take advantage and absorb the fragrance.
Chuyuan closed his eyes contentedly, enjoying the scent of this woman.
Su Ranran snapped back to reality from the shock, feeling a wave of nausea rising from the bottom of her heart. She was both angry and annoyed, and she clenched her teeth fiercely.
Anyway, given the current situation, she couldn't strategize against him anymore, so she stopped hiding herself.
Chu Yuan released him in pain, his tongue bitten and bleeding trickling down from the corner of his mouth. He wiped it with his hand, but his gaze never left Su Hanhan.
Su Ran was momentarily held at knifepoint, but Chu Yuan gestured to let her go. He still used the short dagger to stroke her cheek, admiringly saying, "You are truly beautiful." As he spoke, he used the knife to trace down her cheek, all the way down, ultimately pointing directly at her racing heart.
Su Ranran closed her eyes, the icy blade made her want to curse "f**k".
In my mind, the system is still shouting, "Host, keep up the effort! He is interested in you, look, the space has expanded a bit!"
Su Ranran used her consciousness to probe into the space, and indeed it expanded a tiny bit, faintly revealing a corner of another shelf where half a box of medicine could be seen, while the other half was still hidden in the mist.
This eerie affection, better not have it at all.
Su Ranran ignored the system and coldly said, "Have you thought about it? If I die, you won't survive either."
"Of course, this is so much better." Chu Yuan smiled even more brightly, and with a stronger force, the sharp dagger deeply pierced into Su Hanhan's chest.
Su Ranran: What's the use of having such a perverted crush on him? It's just asking for trouble!
System: ...
Su Ran's chest suddenly turned red, a sharp pain spreading from her chest to her whole body, making it difficult for her to breathe. She collapsed softly, but was caught by Chu Yuan.
Su Ranran was in so much pain that she couldn't breathe, but the man in front of her still had a gentle smile on his face.
Unfair! Outrageous! How could they let her die in just one episode!
She struggled to raise her hand, wanting to slap that smirking face, but in the end, it just fell back down suddenly.
Everything fell into silence, consciousness gradually fading away. She died.
But she was so angry! She felt her hands still waving, cursing the damn villain in her heart.
"Smack! Smack! Smack!" She could clearly feel her angry slap landing on something.
My hands are a bit sore.
She finally focused her gaze and realized that she was sitting on top of a young man, with her arms around him.
And on the angry face of that young man, with fair skin tinged with a hint of red, thin lips, high nose, and sharp phoenix-like eyes, he looked like a miniature version of a villain!
At this moment, the young boy's fair cheeks were already swollen and red, with faint red marks of five fingers visible on his face, looking miserable. His clear eyes were staring straight at her, but they were deep and calm, showing no sign of resentment. His deep eyes were like a deep pool, reflecting Su Ranran's figure deeply within.
What? How long has she been wearing this again?
System: Sorry, it was a system bug before, causing a misplacement and making you miss the timing. We have now fixed the bug, and this time the positioning is accurate, allowing you to successfully travel to the time when the antagonist was fourteen years old. We hope you will continue to work hard!
Su Ranran: Huh? Was that last time just a joke to play with my feelings?
System: Um... you can also think of it as practice, right? After all, it can help you gain experience.
Su Ranran: Bah! What kind of practice is this! Why don't you go die and try it out? Do you know how painful it is?
System: Sorry, we will compensate you by allowing you to freely move three times a day to access the items you need in the future. Do you agree?
Su Ranran thought for a moment and realized that she had been kidn*pped and had no control over the situation. She then said, "OK, you better not mess up this time. If I fail again, you're finished too!"
System: "Host, of course the system hopes for your success, after all, we are in this together. You must keep going!"
Su Ranran shook her numb and sore hand, then glanced at the pitiful-looking antagonist beneath her. After hitting him so many times, she felt a bit relieved, so she got off him, clapped her hands, and took two steps back.
The villain's deep and mysterious eyes finally stopped looking at her. She looked away with a calm expression, lowered her head, and rubbed her swollen cheeks, showing neither humility nor anger.
He was thin and frail, wearing a washed-out gray cloth robe. The shoes on his feet had holes, revealing two round big toes. His hair was disheveled from being recently beaten on the ground, and his cheeks were red and swollen. Despite his disheveled appearance, his delicate and handsome features were still discernible.
Thin, pretty, sickly, and helpless... The villain at this moment exudes a sense of pitiful vulnerability, inexplicably evoking sympathy.
Su Ranran shook her head: "...No, I won't pity this future murderer!"
At this moment, there was a sound of applause behind her. Su Ranran turned around and saw several boys and girls who were around eleven or twelve years old, all dressed in luxurious clothing, with a few eunuchs following behind them.
At the forefront is a younger boy, probably only eight or nine years old, dressed in a light yellow dragon-patterned robe. His round face looks childish, but his expression is arrogant, with one side of his thick and short eyebrows raised, giving him the appearance of a spoiled landlord's son. At this moment, he is clapping his hands and saying, "Good, not bad! It's no wonder you're following Gu, these claps are strong enough!"
Su Ranran listened to him calling himself an orphan, and then dug into his original memories, realizing that he was the current Crown Prince Chu Chang, with his mother being Empress Wei Xuejiao.
According to the plot setting, the Chu Emperor in this book is approaching old age but still indulges in l**t and alcohol, with numerous concubines, hence there is no shortage of princes. With many princes vying for the only throne on the dragon chair, various powers in the court and harem take turns competing, with several changes of crown prince. The entire kingdom of Chu is thrown into chaos and unrest, transitioning from its former prosperity to decline.
Su Ranran was not sure which prince this prince in front of her was, but she was certain he was not the last one. Therefore, he was just another cannon fodder like the original body, who knows when he might meet his end.
The current self is just a follower of cannon fodder, the cannon fodder among cannon fodders.
Behind him were his younger sister, Princess Chu Yao, his study companion Liang Feng, his follower Guan Yiyang, and his original self, a group of little bullies who followed the prince around, causing trouble and playing with birds and dogs. They were known as the "Five Little Bullies of the Capital" and beating up the villains like today was almost a daily occurrence.
The antagonist didn't provoke the protagonist at all, they were just squatting by the wall digging grass. Unfortunately, the protagonist and their g**g of little bullies happened to pass by. Perhaps they were too focused and didn't notice, so they didn't have time to avoid them and ended up getting beaten up.
The antagonist in the book had a tragic childhood, growing up with his sinful mother in a cold palace, neglected by his father and unloved by his mother. He was often bullied, and at this moment, it is clear that the person who is bullying him is a prominent figure.
At this moment, Su Ranran feels that this little weirdo is quite innocent and pitiful from an objective perspective. But from an emotional standpoint, it feels kind of satisfying to bully this little weirdo back using her original aggressive nature.
At this moment, the lackey behind the young prince, Liang Feng, said, "Not only blocking the way, but also not bowing to the prince when you see him, very rude."
The henchman sneered and said, "Exactly, how could a few slaps settle the matter? Disrespecting the crown prince is a capital offense, killing him would be considered lenient."
The small antagonist on the ground passed by the crowd with a calm and indifferent expression in his eyes, showing neither anger nor joy. However, Su Ranran inexplicably felt a silent mockery towards them in his eyes... Then, in just a moment, those handsome eyes and brows slightly curved upwards, a faint smile appeared on the corners of his mouth, like a gentle breeze brushing against the face.
But when Su Ranran saw this familiar smile, her heart trembled.
