Chapter 81 Being Cared For
Xie Guixue looked at Su Muyao and slowly reached out his hand.

Su Muyao watched his movements, unsure of what he was going to do, but instinctively she didn't want to dodge.

So I stood there and looked up at him.

Xie Guixue stretched out her slender, plum-bone-like fingers and gently smoothed her wind-blown hair.

Gently tuck it behind her ear.

He was being very careful with his fingers, but they accidentally brushed against Su Muyao's skin.

Su Muyao felt a cool, tingling sensation on that part of her skin.

Because snowflakes fell on her head, her hair became slightly damp.

Fearing she would catch a cold, Xie Guixue warmed her fingers and dried her hair.

His movements were gentle, yet he appeared very attentive.

He said gently, "It's alright, you were just tired and need to rest."

He could see how tired she was, and he couldn't let her use her powers to heal him any longer.

She needs to rest and recuperate.

At that moment, Su Muyao's heartstrings were touched by his words.

At that moment, she felt like she was being cared for.

This is the most genuine feeling she has experienced since coming into this world.

It seems to be mixed with nothing else.

Such a pure act of care.

Just as Su Muyao was about to say something, Xie Guixue said, "They've come looking for us. I should go."

As he spoke, he tucked the ice crystal pendant back into her clothes, saying, "Keep wearing it; it will protect you."

"Don't be afraid, nothing will happen."

I will always be here!

After he finished speaking, he gave Su Muyao a deep look.

Then a blizzard struck, the surrounding black mist dissipated, and Xie Guixue disappeared from the spot.

Su Muyao actually wanted to say something, but at this moment her heartstrings were touched and her mind was in turmoil, so she didn't know what to say for a moment.

Just watching him disappear, for some reason, I felt a sense of loss.

It's a very complex feeling.

……

The road seemed to be split into two spaces, and suddenly the sound of a carriage breaking apart rang out.

Immediately afterwards, the ruptured streets seemed to be pieced back together, restoring their original appearance.

"Wife master!"

"My lady, are you alright?"

"My lady, are you alright?"

Wen Nanxi, Hua Linye, and Xiao Jihan rushed over and carefully examined Su Muyao.

The three of them had pale faces, red eyes, and an unnatural aura.

Moreover, they looked somewhat disheveled, with bloodstains on their bodies.

Then she saw more than a dozen assassins lying on the ground.

The three of them watched Su Muyao remain silent, and their hearts were in their throats.

Wen Nanxi's gentle, picturesque eyes were now filled with a look of deep sorrow and self-reproach.

Hua Linye's fox-like eyes were tinged with a bloodthirsty red.

Xiao Jihan was already somewhat cold-hearted, and now his expression was even colder, with an unquenchable killing intent surging around him.

"Wife master?"

Wen Nanxi's voice was no longer calm as before; it was now heavy and hoarse.

Su Muyao snapped out of her daze and said, "I'm fine!"

She didn't say what happened, only that nothing was wrong.

He remained calm and did not blame them.

But the more this happened, the more panicked the three of them became.

Wen Nanxi said hoarsely, "My lady, it's our fault for not protecting you well."

"You can do whatever you want to us, hit us or scold us, and it's normal for you to blame us."

Hua Linye handed the knife directly to Su Muyao, saying, "My wife, I'll feel better if you stab me yourself."

Xiao Jihan moved his lips, wanting to say something, but didn't know what to say.

This time, in the end, it was their fault for not protecting her.

They had no idea what was happening here.

No matter how vicious the methods the other side used to stop them and cut off the street, it was ultimately their dereliction of duty. Even if Su Muyao is alright now, it might just be luck.

They dared not imagine what would have happened if something had actually happened to her!

Therefore, all words are pale and powerless.

Su Muyao said calmly, "I'm really fine, you don't need to blame yourselves."

“The other side wanted to kill me, they calculated your strength, and deliberately looked for an opportunity to stop you, it’s not your fault.”

That being said, Wen Nanxi still felt something was different.

She didn't trust them enough to begin with.

She appears calm now, but there seems to be a sense of detachment about her.

It's as if there's something separating us from them.

How could Wen Nanxi not be flustered?

He wanted to say something, but seeing her tired expression, he said in a low, hoarse voice, "It's good that you're alright."

"Are you tired? Let's go home!"

Although she wanted to know what had just happened, Wen Nanxi didn't ask anything.

He knew she needed to rest.

After what just happened, Su Muyao was indeed quite tired and had no desire to continue shopping or do anything else.

She nodded and said, "Let's go back first!"

"But what about these corpses?"

"The news has already been spread, and Lord Yun will soon send someone to handle it."

"Cloud City will likely investigate this matter and strengthen its defenses."

In this way, those people won't be able to appear in Cloud City as easily as they have this time.

Someone committed murder in Cloud City, which is a challenge to the authority of the Cloud City Lord.

You should know that the rules set by the City Lord of Yunxiao City stipulate that fighting is not allowed.

That is why countless people are willing to come to Yunxiao City to work, allowing Yunxiao City to develop peacefully and harmoniously.

Only then could Cloud City be so prosperous.

Su Muyao nodded and stopped worrying about it.

Instead, they went back together.

On the way back, Wen Nanxi transformed into a snake and carried her.

Wen Nanxi's movements were very steady, maintaining a certain speed, as if afraid of making Su Muyao uncomfortable.

Wen Nanxi wanted to say something, but after hesitating for a while, she said, "Those people are hired assassins. One of them used a move that looks like the kung fu of the Chen family in Beast King City."

“I will find out about this and kill everyone involved.”

After a pause, Wen Nanxi said in a low voice, "My wife, I'm sorry!"

Wen Nanxi's voice was low and dejected.

An aura of loneliness emanated from him.

Su Muyao was thinking about something when she heard Wen Nanxi's words and sensed his aura.

Her expression shifted slightly; she knew they had done their best.

It's just that the person behind it was too ruthless and only wanted her dead.

She can't rely on anyone to protect her; she needs to become strong quickly.

However, with the pendant given to her by Young Master Xie, she felt a greater sense of security.

Su Muyao had calmed down by now, and some of her subtle emotions had dissipated.

She softened her tone and said, "Wen Nanxi, you don't need to blame yourself."

"Actually, I know you did your best."

"And I shouldn't have suddenly appeared on the street to protect that cat; I didn't know it was a trap for me."

If it hadn't been a cat, any other animal wouldn't have elicited that reaction from her.

But she had a cat in the apocalypse that stayed with her for many years, and it died protecting her in the end.

That was a knot in her heart.

So at that time, it was a conditioned reflex.

However, this incident also reminded her that she must become stronger as soon as possible.

"No, my wife, please don't say that. It's all my fault."

If he were physically healthy, he could use secret techniques to enhance his strength for combat, and this wouldn't have happened.

As if remembering something, Su Muyao asked, "By the way, one day you came back late and smelled of blood. Did you also encounter an assassin like that?"
