Chapter 1290: The Emperor Is Pregnant 4
On the contrary, it was more playful.
"You saved my life."
Su Yan nodded.
"Yes."
Thankfully, she had greatly increased her physical strength.
If Xiao Hua knew, she would definitely grumble quietly.
Previously, with the Host’s physical strength, that Assassin was simply no match.
Situ Xiu looked at her somewhat dazed expression.
For some reason, he became a bit interested.
"What reward would you like from me?"
The pleasant voice slowly descended.
Su Yan was serious.
"Anything?"
Situ Xiu was twirling the Jade Buddha Beads in his hand.
"As long as it’s something I can give."
Su Yan’s voice was soft, with a touch of brightness in her eyes.
"Can you take me to the Capital?"
There’s quite a distance from here to the Capital.
If traveling on foot, it would take at least another day.
Situ Xiu laughed lazily.
"What else?"
"That’s all."
Su Yan obediently replied.
Xiao Hua immediately gave her Host some advice.
"Host, he’s the one who said anything goes. Why not spend a night with him?"
After hundreds of years of practice, Xiao Hua’s limits had gradually expanded.
Before, she used to be a Tongzi who would feel embarrassed even mentioning a kiss.
Situ Xiu twirled the smooth beads in his hand, his cool lips still carrying a hint of smile.
"From what you’re saying, I’m only worth this paltry travel expense?"
Su Yan hadn’t expected him to be caught up on this issue.
She shook her head and said seriously,
"No, you’re priceless, a treasure beyond value."
If she obtained it, she wouldn’t trade it for any amount of money.
Perhaps it was Su Yan’s sincere gaze.
Once those words came from Su Yan’s mouth, no one would doubt the truthfulness of them.
Situ Xiu’s smile at the corner of his lips deepened as he looked at her.
"You really know how to talk."
The words fell.
Su Yan suddenly looked up at the sky.
A Black-clothed Man flew down from the tree.
He aimed directly at the center of the carriage cover.
She quickly reached out, pressing one hand against the carriage.
With the other hand, she grabbed Situ Xiu’s hand and instantly pulled him out of the carriage.
Situ Xiu’s eyelids drooped, his gaze indifferent.
He suddenly looked up at Su Yan.
His gaze grew increasingly ambiguous.
Just as she touched him, his Inner Strength had immediately lashed out at Su Yan.
However, it seemed to have no effect on her.
Moreover, her strength was tremendous.
He even felt a sense of confinement.
That petite person seemed like a fortress, keeping him securely protected.
Su Yan looked up at him,
"Are you alright?"
Situ Xiu looked at his wrist being grasped.
It was already bruised and purple.
Presumably, the waist hugged by that slender hand was also going to be bruised and purple.
Situ Xiu’s eyes turned gloomy.
He glanced at the Black-clothed Man who had suddenly descended from above.
His voice was slowly prolonged,
"Not taking action yet?"
The words fell.
Su Yan thought she was supposed to strike.
She nodded, picked up a stone from the ground, and threw it at the Black-clothed Man.
Bang!
The stone originally aimed at the Black-clothed Man’s chest collided with a snowflake-shaped Dark Weapon.
The Dark Weapon swished and stuck into the tree.
And the stone Su Yan launched flew up and directly hit the Black-clothed Man’s forehead.
Blood streamed down with a sudden gush.
Caught off guard, his Inner Strength became unstable.
He fell from the height.
In the next second, the Black-clothed Man was surrounded by five Blue-clothed Hidden Guards.
The Hidden Guards were also wronged.
If the master doesn’t tell them to take action, they’re afraid of being reprimanded if they act rashly.
Moreover, such Black-clothed Assassins couldn’t hurt the master.
Situ Xiu’s attention turned to Su Yan.
