23: Protect Zhou Wan'er

Zhou Wan'er's face turned pale with fright, and she quickly turned to flee, but Chen Xuan soon caught up to her.

At this point, Chen Xuan stopped pretending and directly tore off the mask on his face, revealing his true appearance.

"Little lady, don't run, let's have a good chat," he said, returning to his original voice.

However, at this moment, Zhou Wan'er couldn't care less about that; she ran away quickly again without looking back.

Chen Xuan: "..."

Finally, after Zhou Wan'er had run a long distance, she looked back.

..."Chen Xuan?"

"Why aren't you running anymore?" Chen Xuan asked with a smile.

"You...!"

Chen Xuan stepped forward, grabbed Zhou Wan'er's hand, and pulled her into his embrace.

"Let go of me!" Zhou Wan'er struggled desperately, but she couldn't break free from Chen Xuan's embrace.

"You let go of me!" Zhou Wan'er shouted. She was extremely scared now, so much so that she couldn't even tell if the Chen Xuan in front of her was the real person, nor did she know what would happen next.

"A few days ago, you couldn't bear to let go; why the change in attitude now?"

At these words, Zhou Wan'er's movements finally stopped.

"Let me see your chest?"

Chen Xuan: "?"

However, he still lifted his clothes to show her a glance. Seeing a mole on Chen Xuan's chest, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"You, you, where's my thing from that day?"

"Are you talking about this?" Chen Xuan took out the Extreme Dao Emperor from just now.

"Wuwuwu, you bad guy, you scared me to death!" Zhou Wan'er cried and directly pounced on Chen Xuan, continuously hitting him, and even biting him!

"You weren't suspecting that I was fake just now, were you?"

"Wuwuwu, of course I suspected! I can't tell the difference! Do you know how scared I was? Wuwuwu!"

"Alright, alright, it's my fault, I apologize, okay?" Chen Xuan was most afraid of women crying; the more they cried, the more he wanted to transform into a villain...

"It's just your fault! Why did you want to scare me for no reason! I just felt like dying!"

"Then I'll compensate you, okay?"

"What will you compensate me with?"

As soon as Zhou Wan'er finished speaking, she already was.

"You...you..." She stammered, unable to complete her words.

"Then I'll compensate you with this, okay?" Chen Xuan said, taking out a precious body-protecting treasure, handing it to Zhou Wan'er, and asking with a smile.

Zhou Wan'er took the treasure, and a blush appeared on her face. She never expected Chen Xuan to be so...generous! This was a rare and priceless treasure!

"You..." Zhou Wan'er held the treasure in her hand, feeling a bit at a loss for a moment.

"Wan'er, I won't scare you again in the future," Chen Xuan whispered.

"That General Zhao brought me to this kind of place, there must be some unspeakable secret. Perhaps there's something tracking me, and someone will come looking for me soon..."

Zhou Wan'er's face was flushed. Although she also wanted to give everything to Chen Xuan, she absolutely did not want anyone watching, even if her attendants were all women!

"Don't worry, I'll protect you," Chen Xuan's eyes darted around.

"Mhm." Zhou Wan'er nodded, feeling a warmth in her heart. In this Secret Realm, though full of dangers, with Chen Xuan by her side, she felt much more at ease.

"So what do we do now?"

"What do we do? Someone was tracking you just now. I'll help Sister-in-law find the tracking device first!"

"But..."

"No buts!" Chen Xuan recalled the very unpleasant experience from last time.

With a hardened heart, he directly pulled out a new set of clothes, swiftly and neatly changed Zhou Wan'er's attire, and threw all the treasures on her body onto the ground. Then, he led the refreshed and noble lady away from the scene.

The "tragedy" that occurred in the City Lord's Mansion last time, he absolutely would not allow it to happen again!

At this moment, Zhou Wan'er had just experienced great sorrow and great joy, and was at her most ( ) time. As long as he employed a small trick on the boat, she would definitely get terribly seasick!

Soon, he found a cave, and with a few leaps, he entered it.
