If I were a man, I'd marry you

  It turned out that way, the maid in green finally breathed a sigh of relief, her words were sinister and strange: "Don't you wonder why she treats you like this? She is your mother"

  "Hmph..." Yun Chu coldly smiled, raised an eyebrow and lightly said: "I'm not her biological child, what's so strange about her wanting to kill me?"

  "Do you know this secret?" The maid in the green dress was shocked, and a hint of murderous intent flashed at the bottom of her eyes. If Yun Chuyue had heard something back then, she would have risked everything to make a move.

  Fortunately, Yun Chu's next words dispelled her thoughts. Yun Chu raised an eyebrow and sneered: "This is also a secret. In this world, there is no mother who does not love her own child. Zhao Ruxue treated me like that, how could she be my biological mother?"

  Yun Chu's eyes drooped, silently observing the expression of the maid in green clothes. After seeing her reaction, she was even more certain about what she had said. Zhao Ruxue was indeed not the birth mother of this body: "So, if you really want to exchange something meaningful, why not use my own mother's identity?"

  "This won't do," said the maid in green, vetoing it. If this were to get out, she would be even more unlikely to escape with her life.

  "Hmph... you don't say it, I'll find out myself. Whether this deal goes through or not is up to you." Yun Chu raised her eyes, a cold and frosty aura shooting straight at him.

  She took another glance at the green leaf in Yun Chu's hand, and the maid in green was so frightened that she had never been so frightened even after all these years of struggling in the palace. She quickly made the fastest calculation in her mind, took out a piece of white jade from her sleeve and handed it to Yun Chu, saying

  "I've made this deal, but you have to let me go first. This is a token I carry with me; with it, you can find me."

  Yun Chu took over the white jade, her mind racing quickly, but in just one second, a cold arrow pierced through, straight into the chest of the green-clad maid. Without even a muffled groan, the maid fell to the ground, fresh blood seeping through her clothes and staining them a dark color. The person hiding in the shadows saw that she had no vital energy left and smiled as they left.

  Yun Chu was shocked, took over the body of the green-clad maid, checked her breath, and shook his head helplessly. It seemed that someone wanted to kill her to silence her, how detestable! He took out the wound medicine he had prepared himself and gave it to her to take.

  Looking up at the sky, he said gloomily: "Whether you can wake up or not depends on your luck"

  It's just that I'm one step further away from the truth, but it's also a big progress, at least she doesn't have to spend so much thought proving anything.

  A gentle breeze blew by, and the smell of blood mixed with a hint of decay wafted past her nose. The creaking sound of doors opening and closing echoed through the air. Yun Chu turned around to look behind her, and a slender figure in red stepped into her line of sight, its footsteps eerily clear as if accompanied by an otherworldly effect, making her heart flutter. The large door, shrouded in dust, seemed to have a life of its own, opening and closing without anyone touching it.

  Stunning, domineering, these were the first thoughts that flashed through Yun Chu's mind, and she involuntarily said: "Indeed a demon"

  The red brocade fluttered, the cloud sleeves rolled up shallowly, and in the instant they brushed past each other, a light breeze swirled around, carrying with it a faint scent of bamboo that wafted into her nostrils, sweeping away the previous musty smell. The entire person, along with everything around her, felt like an illusion. Yun Chu was shocked and amazed, thinking to herself that even the special effects in TV dramas couldn't compare to the shock this demon brought her.

  "My territory doesn't like dirty things"

  Just as Yun Chu was stunned, Lan Huan coldly glanced at the blue-clothed maid on the ground and slowly spat out this sentence. His jade-like handsome face was filled with deep disgust, his clear and cold voice seemed to come from heaven.

  "Ah!" Chu's thoughts were suddenly pulled back, she violently shook her head, what was wrong with her just now, to actually be enchanted by this demon, how... humiliating.

  "What's your territory?" How can the Blue King's Mansion be built in the Imperial Palace? Besides, how can the Blue King's Mansion be so corrupt? She treats me like a three-year-old child, how despicable.

  Yun Chu took a few steps forward, staring at Lan Xuan's figure and sizing him up carefully. The more she looked, the more unbalanced her heart felt. A man could be handsome to this extent; it was unclear whether he was a masterpiece of heaven or a flawed work.

  "Alas... it's really unfair." Yun Chu sighed from the bottom of her heart, although this body was also exceptionally beautiful, but when she saw a beauty, she still couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

  Lan Xuanhao furrowed his brow, clearly not understanding what she was saying. He looked at her with a puzzled expression, but didn't say anything.

  Yun Chu stared at him fiercely for a few moments, her eyes filled with frustration and regret. Finally, she let out a long sigh: "Ah... I wish I were a man."

  Lan Xuan's doubts grew even stronger. This woman didn't take the dead person away, what was she doing here talking nonsense? It was truly inexplicable. Who knew that Yun Chu's next words would almost make him go crazy.

  Yun Chu raised her eyebrows and shook her head, sighing "If I were a man, I would definitely marry such a beautiful woman"

  Lan Xuanhao's face changed color upon hearing this, his eyes flashing with anger. He hated being called a woman the most, and this woman was quite bold to provoke him.

  "Are you tired of living?" Unlike the calmness before, the hoarse angry voice made Yun Chu's heart jump in surprise.

  Those burning flames of anger in his eyes made Yun Chu realize that she was dealing with a completely different person, and the rumors about women being doomed when they got close to him seemed true. Looking at herself, she appeared to be quite close to him already. Just as this ominous thought flashed through her mind, she felt a sudden lightness under her feet, and her body was lifted high into the air.

  She only felt that she was like a small chick, easily pinched in the eagle's hand. Just now when facing the maid in green and her subordinates, she still thought that the kung fu she had learned in modern times could be used, but facing this demon, what she had learned before was simply useless, with no power to resist.

  "For now, it's still more important to save one's life: 'Hey, I was just joking, no need to be so serious'"

  "Cough... cough..." Her throat was tightly locked, and the uncomfortable breathing made Yun Chu feel very distressed. This suffocating feeling, how long had it been since she last endured it? Since she became accomplished in her studies, she had never been bullied, let alone faced danger. If not for that one knife from her father in her past life, she wouldn't have died.

  "Hey... let go" was again pinched in his hand, and it's uncertain when the next second will be suffocated.

  "Alright, alright, I take back what I said earlier. You're not beautiful, you're ugly, extremely ugly, to the point of being unmatched...” Yun Chu saw that he was unmoved and couldn't care less about saying more, her mind spewing out a string of nonsense.

  She might have been able to persuade him with ordinary human thinking, but this demon was clearly not an ordinary person. In the absence of a better plan, she could only rely on her own luck now that she was no match for him.

  Lan Xuanhao heard this and didn't say a word, but his usual calm smile was nowhere to be found. For the first time, he felt an overwhelming urge to laugh and cry at the same time. His hand suddenly softened, and he pushed her to the ground, his face cold as he said, "You're really a nagging woman, won't you die if you don't speak?"

  Yun Chu took a few deep breaths, carefully rubbed the neck that had been pinched by him, rolled her eyes and gave him a resentful look: "Nonsense, if I don't speak, of course, I'll die." As if waiting for you to strangle me to death.
