Masquerade in Bridal Attire and Marry the Prince

79. Who Get Hurt and Who Is Nervous?

Translator: Antonia

Altogether fifteen hitmen came down, all of them master cultivators. The moment they showed up, the hidden guards set themselves and in an instant started a fight. Yuxing Tianrui and Du Chuxuan also opened their eyes at the moment.

It wasn’t easy to fall asleep on a summer night. These hitmen had acted too hastily. So what they had blown in knockout incense? How could they make sure that the couple had inhaled it? Du Chuxuan, hugging himself, watched with a cold eye Ada taking the hidden guards to fight against the hitmen and stood protectively before Yuxing Tianrui.

The sound of fighting seeming isolated, Yuxing Tianrui stared at the man in front of him with surprise. There had been people doing the same for him, but those were either his subordinates or guards, and they only did so out of sense of duty. Their protection couldn’t make him happy.

But at this moment, the situation gave him a feeling that Du Chuxuan’s existence was very important to him. This thought gave him joy and even the impulse to risk his safety to see how nervous Du Chuxuan would become. Once taking shape, the idea went out of control.

The next second, without deliberate pretence, danger came. In a ten vs. five fight, even if every of the hidden guard was outstanding, they fought painstakingly. Ada saw a hitman slipping from under his arm and rushed fiercely towards Yuxing Tianrui.

Du Chuxuan was staring at the situation. Supposedly, his powerful instinct would enable to act quick and escape the attack even if he hadn’t noticed it. Subconsciously, he moved his left foot and was ready to slide away, but suddenly at the thought of Yuxing Tianrui standing behind him, he immediately drew out the sword and pushed the hitman off.

The hitman obviously hadn’t expected that the fragile looking Crown Princess should know how to play sword. Without hesitation, he made a weird sound, on which the other hitmen began to fight more wildly. For a time, another two hitmen managed to turn to attack the couple.

This time, Du Chuxuan was alerted. Each hidden guard could barely resist two hitmen at the same time, so he was quite nervous to face three of the hitmen while protecting a person. He frowned slightly, surprised that with such a huge incident taking place, the palace guards should not arrive yet.

There was no time for him to think it over, and the three hitmen all came at him in tricky angles. As long as he revealed any flaw, Yuxing Tianrui behind him would be exposed into danger. Du Chuxuan also bit the tip of his tongue to focus and wielded the long sword in his hand fast to defend.

He used the other hand to push Yuxing Tianrui further back to the bed. The spacious room now became a little crowded accommodating nearly thirty people. To Du Chuxuan at this moment, Yuxing Tianrui lying on bed safe and sound was the greatest help.

He stood between the bed and the hitmen, face a little twisted, “What? Are you trying to climb onto His Highness’s bed?” He said it in an extremely alluring way and made the three men dizzy for a while, especially when the clothes he was wearing now were pretty exposed. The bright moonlight revealed his fair skin, which made people want to touch.

The three men’s look changed slightly, and one of them took the imitative to attack Du Chuxuan’s waist. He flashed and kicked the man off, when he found another man was seizing this opportunity to dash to the bed. Du Chuxuan’s eyes turned red at once and he hastened to stab the man.

Yuxing Tianrui also reacted quick. He tossed on the bed and escaped the dangerous blow, but then at the sight of the splashing red before his eyes, he was put in a daze. However, Du Chuxuan, as if not feeling the pain, kicked the man right away. It turned to be a trap aimed to let Du Chuxuan expose himself.

The moment when Du Chuxuan stuck out his sword to protect Yuxing Tianrui, he was already exposed to the saber of another hitman. Over there, Ada had dealt with other hitmen and could finally gave a hand over here. At this scene, he gasped. He had witnessed how desperate Du Chuxuan had acted on the battlefield, and now his admiration towards him grew more.

The hitman was stilled for a while too. The position he targeted was very accurate, right at the person’s chest. Either men or women, as long as the heart was pierced through, there was no chance of surviving. Yet, the hitman also felt that something seemed to be wrong at the place he tried.

With this on his mind, when he drew back, the saber went to one side and instantly ripped out Du Chuxuan’s clothes. Immediately, the flat chest of Du Chuxuan was exposed in front of everyone.

“How dare you!” Yuxing Tianrui instantly understood what kind of situation this was and had no mood to care too much, pulling Du Chuxuan back at once, “Ada, if you can’t handle these people well, you don’t need to see me again.”

After saying that, he still found the anger stuck in his heart when he saw the blood stain on Du Chuxuan’s chest and added fiercely, “Kill them all! Kill every one of them who saw Her Highness’s body!”

With this order, the guards found the task much easier. After all, the hitmen were here to assassinate His Highness, so the hidden guards’ first reaction was to keep them alive for interrogation, and this was also why they had been acting with great caution. Now, with His Highness’s order, they had nothing to worry about and started to go all out.

Hearing that order, Du Chuxuan understood that Ada and the hidden guards were capable of coping with the hitmen and was relieved. Only then did he begin to feel the pain and could no long constrain his groan.

Unexpectedly, the prince holding him wasn’t nervous but anxious with anger, “Aren’t you terrific? How did you let yourself get hurt? You deliberately let me worry, huh?”

Anyone else would be pissed off, but Du Chuxuan wasn’t anybody. He took it only in one way—his tsundere prince finally stopped being mad at him! Every of his words was speaking his heart, which was more precious than gold, “Your Highness is showing care to me? Am I dreaming?!”

On seeing his happy face, Yuxing Tianrui felt upset. He now totally understood that he was screwed. He not only failed to test out Du Chuxuan, but instead gave out all his heart. Was it what was called go-for-wool-and-come-home-shorn?

Depressed, he immediately threw Du Chuxuan onto bed and decided not to talk to him. Yet, when Du Chuxuan cried in pain, Yuxing Tianrui became nervous again on the instant.
