After conquering seven male favorites, the vicious heroine wants to run away

Chapter 268 Life-or-Death Struggle
“Poisonous Woman, they’ve all gone mad, each one bloodthirsty as a beast. Everyone at Merlo Manor has been killed. We can’t stay here any longer.”

I never tried to pull her along and run wildly through the backyard garden.

What did he say?
Who died?
Everyone in the manor is dead?
Zhenbao and Ara are both dead?

She just fainted from sleep, so why are all the people she cares about dead?

Shi Nuanyu's mind was in a daze, and she ran along numbly. She tripped over something and fell forward uncontrollably.

"Be careful."

A cry of surprise rang out, and she was immediately picked up and carried away. Looking behind her, she saw that what had tripped her was a person's leg.

The man lay on the ground, his life hanging in the balance, half of his body slumped in the flowerbed.

Shi Nuanyu asked in a hoarse voice, her body icy cold.

"A-Shi, is Tao Huiyan dead?"

He lay in a pool of blood, his eyes fixed on her with resentment.

She couldn't forget, nor could she understand, why they killed each other.

Without even looking around, he cautiously grabbed her and leaped up into the tree, hiding her there.

"He's dead. I shattered his heart meridian with one palm strike."

He shattered his heart meridian with a single palm strike!

Shi Nuanyu hesitated, her hands trembling uncontrollably as she stared at the person before her in despair.

Why did you kill him?
She didn't believe it was to avenge Ah Ling.

Shi Nuanyu couldn't bring herself to ask; she didn't dare to hear the answer.

Never before had I been burned by a look of despair. I raised my hand to cover her eyes and sighed.

"I have never gotten along with them. We have different paths and cannot work together. Even if there is a brief period of cooperation, there will inevitably be conflict when the cooperation ends."

What does it mean that there will inevitably be conflict?

Shi Nuanyu was truly puzzled and gripped his arm tightly, eager to know an answer.

Shouldn't the male protagonists help each other?

Thinking of the ending in the book, after the male protagonists cooperated to kill Princess Nanyue and destroy Nanyue, the struggle between them began.

One disappeared without a trace, one rose to a high position, one died a martyr, and the rest died in the struggle.

The biggest winner in this book is Qinghe, who sits in a high position with no one behind him. Yu Changfeng, who is his equal, also had a chance to be the winner.

He became an enemy of the two kings, but at the crucial moment, he allowed Qinghe's sword to pierce his heart.

"Shi Nuanyu," Wei Zengshi said helplessly, lowering his hand and meeting her helpless gaze, "accept reality."

You want to have a peaceful relationship with them, but who knows what they're thinking? They're all complete madmen. Once the divorce papers were signed, everyone wanted to prove themselves right; they turned Mello Manor into a battlefield.

Those people were too crazy. He didn't want to get involved, but he had to because of his status, both to survive and to get some proof.

This proves that he is worthy to stand by her side.

Shi Nuanyu grasped the key point and signed the divorce agreement!

Could it be that their internal strife stemmed from the divorce agreement?

"You've been up in the tree long enough, come down and fight this general to the death."

Dan Baiyu looked up and stared at the two menacing figures in the tree with a sinister gaze. His cold, gloomy voice interrupted their conversation, and the heavy sword slid across the ground with a grating sound.

He was fighting with others, while she was flirting with other men as if no one else was around. Did she think that he, the general, was dead?

When Shi Nuanyu heard the sound and looked over, the joy on her face vanished. Her heart felt like it was being tightly bound by a rope, and a thought arose spontaneously: it was another act of killing each other.

“Ayu.”

She whispered, shaking her head helplessly, "Don't hit me."

Ah Ling is dead, Ah Yan is dead, and she doesn't want anyone else to sacrifice themselves.

Before he could even react, his brow furrowed, his face contorted with rage, he shielded Shi Nuanyu behind him.

"You are a general and the leader of the martial arts alliance, do you think I'm afraid of you?" After saying that, he instructed her, "Wait for me here. I'll go deal with that shameless brute and then come pick you up."

"catch?"

With disdain in his eyes, Shan Baiyu picked up the heavy sword with one hand and planted it in the ground, the blade penetrating a third of the way in.

"Your Highness's decision to stay or leave is not up to you, and you are not worthy to do so."

Anger couldn't compare to the jealousy in her heart; she wished she could tear the man who was in her way to shreds.

Whether I am worthy or not is not for you to judge.

Without offering any sarcastic remarks, he drew his longsword and leaped down.

The two exchanged several blows, each move sharp and aimed at taking the other's life.

Shi Nuanyu watched anxiously from the tree. The branch she was on was too high for her to climb down. She gritted her teeth and slowly tried. Just as she stretched out one foot, her waist was tightly hugged, and in the blink of an eye, she was being held in someone's arms.

"Your Highness is quite daring. This tree is three or four meters tall. If you fall from it, you will be crippled even if you don't die."

Yu Changfeng joked and teased her as he carried her down to the ground.

Seeing her dazed expression, Yu Changfeng pinched her cheek in displeasure.

"Seeing me is like seeing a ghost. Am I really that frightening?"

Shi Nuanyu instinctively struggled and questioned, "Yu Changfeng, what do you want to do here?"

It couldn't be what she suspected.

Yu Changfeng understood her thoughts, took the hand on her clothes and kissed it.

“A cunning and wicked man has stolen my wife; naturally, he must be killed.”

Before she could react, he grabbed her and leaped behind Wei Zengshi, channeling his inner strength to strike her from behind. Wei Zengshi, who was entangled in a fight with Shan Baiyu, had no time to react and his body was thrown forward by inertia. Shan Baiyu raised his heavy sword and struck him in the abdomen.

"No."

Shi Nuanyu screamed desperately, helplessly watching him fall from the sky and crash heavily to the ground, blood gushing from his mouth.

"No, you mustn't die before you've even tried."

He escaped the inevitable death in the book, and the revival of the martial arts alliance has a bright future. He cannot die in a meaningless struggle.

"Let me go, let me go."

Shi Nuanyu pounded on Yu Changfeng's chest. She had finally changed everything, why was he treating her like this?

“I won’t let you go,” Yu Changfeng refused outright, holding her tightly in his arms. “Greedy woman, you can only choose one of the seven of us, and that one must be me.”

Together they would reclaim their territories and become the rulers of the world; they should have been a perfect match, sharing glory and wealth in high positions.

"They are just insignificant grasshoppers on Her Highness's path."

“That’s not how it is,” Shi Nuanyu retorted, tears streaming down her face. “They’re not grasshoppers, they’re living, breathing people. They deserve a bright future. Yu Changfeng, I hate you.”

“Hate,” Yu Changfeng laughed instead of getting angry, pinching her chin, “Nuan Nuan, we are all the same kind of people. You have no right to hate me. In chaotic times, who can live long? They just died early.”

A cool breeze blows, and pear blossoms fall like pieces of paper money. The clear sky is instantly covered with dark clouds.

Behind him, Shan Baiyu's face was ashen, and he dragged his heavy sword closer step by step.

"Your Highness, you've had enough of hugging and cuddling. It's time to return Your Highness to this general."

What right does the crown prince of the enemy country have to marry Princess Nanyue? He is the one most qualified to stand by her side.

When they reached the untested corpse, they paused for a moment, then ruthlessly stepped over it.

Yu Changfeng released the person in his arms and turned around to face the challenge with considerable confidence.

"General Shan is indeed very powerful. Very well, I will make you submit to my authority."

The two locked eyes, both displaying undisguised murderous intent.

Taking this opportunity, Shi Nuanyu ran to Wei Zengshi's side, trembling as she hugged his head and shouted angrily.

"That's enough, how many more people do you want to die?"
