Chapter 14

(Activating emergency escape procedure… Host, is there a possibility that the original body was very skilled in martial arts and you’re too weak to use it properly?)

【Absolutely not!】

There it was again, that voice she could understand but full of words that made no sense to her. This time, it was accompanied by sounds that didn’t even sound human! Jiang Ruohua couldn’t afford to be careless, but she was now sure of one thing: Prince Ying was trying to escape!

Last time Prince Ying came, the so-called inner voice kept saying things like “my wife” and “female lead,” which she didn’t understand at all. But upon reflection, she realized these terms referred to the same person — herself! In other words, despite her disguise, Prince Ying had recognized her true identity!

Gritting her teeth, Jiang Ruohua’s attacks grew even more decisive, with several strikes narrowly missing Prince Ying’s vital points. His skills had deteriorated. If this continued, he would exhaust his strength before she did. Today, Prince Ying must die!

Given Prince Ying’s petty and treacherous nature, the future would undoubtedly be disastrous if he escaped today!

She couldn’t allow it!

Her movements became even more vicious. Her dagger had already pierced Prince Ying’s skin, and she could hear him grunt in pain. Sensing victory, Jiang Ruohua raised her hand, aiming to stab his throat!

【It hurts! It hurts! Damn, I can’t beat her! How much longer until the teleportation? I’m really going to die here!】

(Five… four… three…)

Sweat dotted Jiang Ruohua’s forehead. She delivered a punch and a kick, knocking Prince Ying to the ground, immobilized. In the next moment, she raised her dagger and thrust it towards Prince Ying’s throat!

(One.)

In the blink of an eye, a splitting headache struck her. The dagger seemed to pierce through cotton as it reached Prince Ying’s neck, making Jiang Ruohua stumble forward and miss her target!

She staggered and steadied herself with her hand on the ground. When she stood up, Prince Ying had vanished without a trace.

What was that? Witchcraft?

Jiang Ruohua tightly closed her lips, her breath trembling. She had failed. Prince Ying had escaped, vanishing right before her eyes as if by some sorcery, accompanied by that inhuman voice counting down!

What was going on? Jiang Ruohua examined her surroundings and found nothing out of place. She checked herself and confirmed she hadn’t lost anything. Almost immediately after leaving Grandpa Gao’s house, she had heard Prince Ying’s inner voice and noticed a shadow in the trees.

His method of hiding was clumsy, unlike Prince Ying’s usual habits. Was he deliberately showing weakness to her? Or had his skills deteriorated? Staying calm was second nature to Jiang Ruohua. An unexpected failure didn’t make her lose her cool. Instead, she carefully tidied herself up, ensuring she left no trace behind. Fortunately, there was no one else following her. Since it was just between her and Prince Ying, knowing that she intended to kill him wasn’t enough to threaten her.

She hadn’t carried anything that could be used as evidence against her, and Prince Ying had nothing to prove her involvement. He was helpless against her.

Hurrying back to the mansion, Jiang Ruohua was met by Huachan, who held a small oil lamp with a weak flame. “Miss, you’ve been gone a long time. Did something go wrong?”

“No,” Jiang Ruohua replied, changing out of her nightwear. “Make sure to dispose of this nightwear when you get a chance.”

Not leaving any evidence behind was crucial. She also removed the silver hairpin she used to fasten her hair and said, “I’m tired of this style. In a few days, find a craftsman to melt it down and make something new.”

“Miss, this hairpin…” Yinqiu knew what was hidden inside the pin and was momentarily confused.

Jiang Ruohua didn’t elaborate. “Better safe than sorry. Besides, I have plenty of such hairpins. Since I took this one out today, I won’t use it again.”

She couldn’t afford to leave any loose ends.

Changing into her nightwear, Jiang Ruohua lay in bed, reflecting on everything that had happened recently. From Zhao Yuexi coming to her, claiming Prince Ying had a sudden change of heart, to Prince Ying himself refusing to break off the engagement and the strange inner voices she heard during their encounters…

Especially those inner voices, which honestly didn’t sound very intelligent.

They didn’t resemble the Prince Ying of old, nor did they seem like the man in her dreams who was cunning enough to kill his father. Had something gone wrong when the engagement was annulled? Could it be that she had kicked him so hard that he became foolish? The idea seemed laughable and naive. If it were that simple, life wouldn’t be so hard since everyone could get what they wanted.

Maybe Prince Ying had always been someone with a particularly rich inner life, which just appeared silly to her. The words she couldn’t understand, she had no way of interpreting for now. Prince Ying’s intense reaction upon seeing her was likely because he wanted to regain the Jiang family’s support.

Without the Jiang family, he would lose significant backing. Her quick and decisive annulment of the engagement was something he hadn’t expected, especially since she knew about the future.

Without her as his fiancée, Prince Ying would lose a major ally. Consequently, Zhao Yuexi, the ‘beloved’ used as a pawn, would lose her value as well.

Thinking this way, everything made sense. But why had Prince Ying known she was seeking help from Grandpa Gao tonight? Was it that his martial arts had deteriorated or was he deliberately showing weakness? It was too soon to tell, but she couldn’t be complacent. Even if his skills had declined, he had escaped tonight using some kind of sorcery. Jiang Ruohua had never seen anything like it before, but it proved one thing: Prince Ying didn’t intend to kill her.

If he had such sorcery, killing her would have been easy. The fact that he didn’t do so and instead fled showed he wasn’t planning a deadly confrontation.

However, Jiang Ruohua wouldn’t allow herself to be used by him as in her dream. Prince Ying might have spared her today, but she wouldn’t accept this false kindness. Although tonight’s events were unexpected, she would eventually find out what sorcery Prince Ying used!

It seemed her enmity with Prince Ying didn’t end with the annulment of their engagement. She would find out what he was up to. She would not let him or his plans harm her or her family again! Her strength wasn’t enough yet. After tonight, Prince Ying would probably not give her another chance to act alone. She needed to strengthen herself and increase her power.

Taking a few deep breaths, she closed her eyes and felt sleepiness take over. Sorcery might be terrifying, but some things left her no choice but to face them.
