361: Zhu Dening

Liu Gong Wang thought for a moment before shaking his head. "I just said, you've already been exposed. With your build and cultivation, as soon as you make a move, you might be recognized. If the Liu Family falls out with the Prince Fus Mansion then, it won't be good for your relationship with Long Yuan!"

"Are there really that many people watching at all times?" Liu Rushi asked skeptically.

"Why doesn't the Young Miss go out with my daughter Ru Hua and have a look?"

"Alright! I haven't seen Little Sister Xiao Hua in a long time!"

Before long, Liu Rushi went out shopping with Liu Gong Wang's daughter, Liu Ru Hua... Liu Ru Hua was as her name suggested, a little beauty herself. However, she usually lived in seclusion and rarely showed her face in public. Today, Liu Gong Wang had finally let her out, and she was overjoyed. She quickly pulled Liu Rushi along to browse the shops. But after a while, Liu Rushi noticed a problem and asked curiously, "Xiao Hua, why are there only men on the street? I haven't even seen a single older woman?"

"Hehe, Sister is so intelligent, can't you guess the reason?" Liu Ru Hua giggled.

"What reason? This is very abnormal. Could all those women have gone to a concert?" Liu Rushi asked suspiciously.

"The concert is still three days away!" Liu Ru Hua reminded her.

"This... just tell me. This is my first time here, how would I know the reason?" Liu Rushi's curiosity was piqued, and she quickly urged her.

Liu Ru Hua turned her head and gestured toward the Prince Fus Mansion, huffing, "Isn't this all because of the evil deeds of the Prince Fus Mansion? How could ordinary people dare to let their women appear near here? If it weren't for Sister coming today, I would still be staying at home as usual!"

"So that's how it is... How detestable!!!" Liu Rushi realized the truth and couldn't help but spit in disgust. She understood now; it seemed the rumors about Prince Fu kidnapping women weren't just groundless, but were solid facts. Otherwise, how could there not be a single woman here?

Moreover, she and Liu Ru Hua had only been browsing for a short while, but with her keen spiritual sense, she had already detected countless gazes lingering on the two of them. These people were not ordinary folk, but individuals with relatively high cultivation. This made Liu Rushi wary; who were these people?

Could they be the people from various major powers and Families stationed nearby to monitor the Prince Fus Mansion, as Liu Gong Wang had mentioned?

While Liu Rushi was lost in thought, a sudden commotion broke out on the main road in the distance. The crowds on the street dodged to both sides as warning bells rang frantically... "What's going on?" Liu Rushi asked.

"It's probably people from the Prince Fus Mansion passing through. They always make such a scene whenever they move. We're actually used to it!" Liu Ru Hua smiled.

"Those beasts!" Liu Rushi spat.

Sure enough, just as Liu Ru Hua expected, a team of Monoceros Horses arrived from a distance before long. The person clearing the way in front had a majestic build and an imposing Aura, and no one dared to block his path. Quite a bit of clutter was left behind on the road... "Look, that's a Winged Lion mount!"

"That mount is so beautiful!"

"Tall and robust, with four hooves stepping on clouds, eyes like crystal beads, and fur like a bristling ball..."

"Good heavens, those two wings are also starting to take shape..."

As the team passed, a Winged Lion in the middle caught everyone's attention. A pair of small wings had already grown on its back, but they were far from fully formed, showing it was a Winged Lion cub. However, the Winged Lion's Bloodline was of a high level and extremely precious. To be able to own a Winged Lion cub as a mount, one's status could well be imagined... Liu Rushi looked up and saw that the person sitting atop the Winged Lion was a very fat man, appearing to weigh no less than six hundred catties. If not for it being a Winged Lion, a Monoceros Horse probably wouldn't have been able to bear his weight.

"Who is this? I heard Prince Fu is a very fat man; could this be Prince Fu himself?" she asked.

"No... this is the Fifth Young Master of the Prince Fus Mansion, named Zhu De Ning! Young Miss, be careful. I've heard this man is extremely lecherous. I didn't expect we'd run into him as soon as we came out... We should leave quickly!" Liu Ru Hua felt something was wrong and tried to pull Liu Rushi away... But her reaction was too slow. Zhu De Ning had been drowsy from drink, but upon hearing a voice transmission, he perked up. Following the direction his servant pointed, he saw the pair of beauties, Liu Rushi and Liu Ru Hua. His eyes immediately lit up, and he was completely smitten!

Although both beauties were wearing veils at the moment, one could tell they were undoubtedly beauties just by their figures and appearance. Zhu De Ning's mouth watered, and without a second thought, he shouted, "Quickly, bring those two women over! This young master wants to show them some love when we get back!"

"This..." The guards below looked at each other, none of them daring to move.

In the past, they would have kidnapped the women without hesitation. But recently, Prince Fu had issued an order strictly forbidding anyone in the residence from kidnapping women, on pain of death!

Moreover, Prince Fu had matched his words with actions; it had been a long time since anyone had seen him kidnap a woman. Thus, the subordinates had long since restrained themselves and stopped participating in such wicked deeds. They hadn't expected the Fifth Young Master to give such an order today. What should they do?

Seeing the reaction of his subordinates, Zhu De Ning became enraged. "Are you deaf? Why haven't you snatched those people for me yet?!"

"Young Master, the Prince has ordered... no more kidnapping women..." a guard said weakly.

"Preposterous! My father's order was for you lowly servants! Quick, they're going to escape if you wait any longer!!!" Zhu De Ning barked.

"Young Master, I'll do it!!!" one guard shouted in response and rushed toward the Liu sisters. This guard was the same lackey who had just sent the voice transmission to Zhu De Ning, clearly one of his confidants.

"Sister, run!" Liu Ru Hua urged, pulling on Liu Rushi's sleeve.

"Don't worry! Just watch the show!" Liu Rushi laughed. She was already overjoyed in her heart. She had wanted to attack the Prince Fus Mansion anyway, and now this opportunity had fallen right into her lap. It couldn't be more perfect!

Zhu De Ning's lackey was swift, pouncing toward the pair like a leopard, his hands forming claws as they reached for them!

"Ah!!!" A miserable scream drew the attention of everyone nearby. The man's face was contorted in agony, looking wretched as he held up two arms that had lost their hands, blood spraying out as if it cost nothing... "Heavens—" everyone cried out in shock, not expecting this woman's strike to be so ruthless, severing the lackey's hands with a single sword strike!

Liu Ru Hua looked at Liu Rushi in shock, her whole body trembling uncontrollably. She had never seen such a scene before. She hadn't expected her cousin's strike to be so brutal. It was over, it was all over... "Bitch! How dare you resist? Apprehend her and punish her immediately!!!" Seeing this, Zhu De Ning roared in fury, his layers of fat quivering.

The guards below didn't dare delay any longer and swarmed forward, rushing toward Liu Rushi...
