Chapter 62: The Gathering Storm 2

  The scorching sensation was swirling and sweeping, the man's solid body pinned her down tightly, she couldn't move at all, she grasped his shoulders tightly, her fingernails scratched his skin, but he didn't feel a thing.

  Nalan Xiong was stripped bare in no time. Nalan Xiong stopped struggling and bit down hard on the scorching lips.

  Above, the man let out a low grunt, and a bloody smell wafted through his mouth.

  Nalan Xixi took advantage of the opportunity to run down from the bed and push open the man who was blocking her way.

  A man rushed over in one swift motion and tightly wrapped his arms around her from behind. "Xinuo, don't be afraid! It's me..."

  At this time, the palace maidens in the courtyard heard Nalan Xianyu's cries for help and hurriedly walked in with lanterns, quickly lighting up the candles in the bedroom.

  Nalan Xinnuo panted heavily, the lamp light flickered back on, and the palace maids saw the two naked figures in front of the bed, scaring them into a hasty retreat. Nalan Xinnuo came to her senses, lifted her tear-stained eyes, and gazed at Nan Gongyin who was still embracing her.

  Nan Gong Jin looked at her shocked and angry expression, hooked up the corner of his mouth, his pale skin looked extremely seductive under the light, the blood thread between his lips flowed down to his chin, dripping onto Nalan Xianyu's chest.

  Nalan Xixi looked at him with a mischievous grin on his face, and suddenly burst into loud sobs.

  She has never been humiliated like that in her life, and was even ready to cry out for help, it's simply a loss of face!! Utterly humiliating!!

  Nangong Jin saw Nalan Xianyu burst into loud sobs, startling him so much that he hastily got up and pulled her into his arms. She had always been icy and strong, making it impossible for anyone to protect her, but suddenly she was crying like this, leaving him at a loss.

  Nangong Jin wrapped her in his arms like a baby, gently swaying her back and forth, softly comforting. "Sorry for scaring you, I thought even if you couldn't beat me, you should know it's me, didn't expect it to turn out this way. Since you knew that much, how dare you let yourself go hungry? What if you really ran into bad people?"

  Nalan Xixi couldn't stop crying, her pride had just been completely destroyed. And to make matters worse, she was starving, and wasn't she starving while waiting for his return? But he actually scolded her!

  Nalan Xixi cried even louder, clinging to his neck like a little monkey, panting heavily.

  Nangong Jin smiled wryly and hugged her tightly, "But I'm not worried either. If we really encounter bad people, it's only your turn to bully them. I was almost bitten unconscious."

  Nalan Xixi raised her head and took a glance at the blood on his mouth, slightly furrowing her brow. She pouted and hid in his arms, refusing to acknowledge him.

  Nan Gong Jin couldn't help but laugh at her crying, tear-stained face. At this moment, she didn't have her usual coldness and ruthlessness, but was completely unguarded, just like a little kid, making people want to spoil her.

  Nalan Xixi sobbed. "I must... kill you... I must!"

  She was crying so hard that she couldn't catch her breath, and her face was a mess of tears. She looked like a bullied little girl, yet she was still talking tough. It was really cute. Nangong Jin smiled helplessly and kissed away her tears. "Okay, okay, tomorrow I'll prepare my sword and come to apologize in person. Please, madam, feel free to kill me, okay?"

  Nalan Xixi couldn't help but smile as she gently wiped away the blood from Nan Gongyin's mouth, her eyes filled with concern. "Does it still hurt?"

  Nangong Jin nodded cleverly. "It hurts."

  Nalan Xixi held the candlelight under that enchanting and handsome face, leaned in close, and gently licked his wound.

  "Hmm..." Under the soft, smooth and wet touch, the wound was slightly painful, but more of an indescribable numbness. Nangong Jin wrapped his arms around her, and Nalan Xianuo carefully continued to lick his wound.

  "How about now? Is it better?" Nalan Xianuo raised her head, with Nan Gongyin's blood on her lips, shining red and enticing under the candlelight.

  Nangong Jin's breathing was a bit disordered, he wrapped his arms around her waist, turned over and pressed her onto the bed, softly whispering "It's getting more and more painful, looks like it'll hurt for another year or so..."

  Nalan Xixi's face turned red, and she rarely showed a shy expression, which made Nan Gongyin almost forget to breathe.

  Looking at Nan Gong Jin's slightly dazed expression, Nalan Xianuo quietly wrapped her legs around his waist, softly whispering a few words in his ear, seductively swaying her hips. Nan Gong Jin's face turned red upon hearing this, he lifted her up and punished her by nibbling on her collarbone.

  Nalan Xixi's body trembled slightly, and she felt weak all over. Looking at her eyes that were as hazy as water, and her cherry lips that were slightly parted in temptation, Nan Gongyin found it difficult to restrain himself. At this moment, he had completely let down his guard.

  Nalan Xixi saw the opportunity was ripe, a flash of cunning in her eyes, and suddenly she made her move, sealing off Nangong Jin's acupoints.

  The pain in the cave made Nan Gong Jin suddenly wake up, and in a daze, Nalan Xianyu quickly got up, pushed him down with one hand, and looked at his face with a smile of satisfaction.

  Ignoring Nangong's warning gaze, Nalan Xinnuo got out of bed, jumped up and ordered the palace maid at the door: "Bring me something to eat."

  The palace maid retreated at the sound, and Nalan Xixi dressed herself. She smiled faintly at Nan Gongyu, who was lying on the bed with a dense desire that had nowhere to be released.

  "Your Majesty, I'm so hungry. Just now, I almost fell into the hands of bad people, so I'll go eat something first. It might take a year or two, Your Majesty, don't wait for me."

  Nangong Jin looked at her complacent appearance, getting angry to the point where his eyebrows were about to twist together. Unfortunately, she had simultaneously pressed the mute acupoint, not only unable to move but also unable to speak.

  How could he forget, she is Nalan Xixi!

  Who says Nalan Xingde's dictionary has the word "let bygones be bygones"?

  In the dead of night, the Empress Dowager's palace was quiet and still.

  On the rooftop, a team of black silhouettes sped swiftly under the moonlight.

  The leader remained silent, and with a simple gesture, the entire team worked together seamlessly.

  Suddenly, another black shadow flashed from a distance, and the slender figure jumped agilely on the rooftop, like a ghost. She jumped to the rooftop where the man in black was standing. Under the moonlight, the unique leather mask became even more somber. Everyone stopped and nodded when they saw the newcomer.

  Nalan Xixi looked at the Empress Dowager's palace in the distance and said in a low voice: "Kill."

  Upon hearing this, the crowd rushed to the courtyard where the Empress Dowager's bedroom was located. Nalan Xinnuo stood on the rooftop, leaning against the bright moon, gazing down at everything in the mortal world like a dark night god of death.

  A group of people sneaked into the courtyard where the Empress Dowager's bedroom was located and headed towards a side chamber.

  In the midst of silence, a sudden burst of chaotic footsteps came from afar, and everyone looked at each other in confusion, unsure who the newcomer was. Just as they were considering whether to retreat, the other party had already arrived.

  Extremely fast speed, extremely agile movements.

  As they looked up, another group of black-clad men were running towards them. The leader signaled for everyone to retreat and not to engage in a fierce battle here, but the other side seemed to be giving them no chance to leave.

  Suddenly, the sound of swords and knives rose from the Empress Dowager's palace.

  Nalan Xixi looked at the sudden sound of swords and knives in the nearby courtyard, the panicked and noisy voices of the palace maids and eunuchs, and frowned.

  The opponent is a top-notch expert, and such an expert in the entire Luotian should only be Nan Gongjin. However, how could he appear in the palace of the empress dowager? The black-clothed men were not eager to fight, but the opponent pursued them relentlessly.

  The lanterns in the empress dowager's palace lit up, and from the rooms in the courtyard, Zhao Song burst out of the door, rushed into the palace, shouting: "Assassins!! Protect the Empress Dowager!!! Inform the Imperial Guard! Quick! Go report to the Emperor!"

  The eunuchs and palace maids retreated at the sound, Zhao Song rushed into Murong Empress Dowager's bedroom, the empress dowager had already woken up, sitting pale-faced on the couch, seeing Zhao Song arrive, the empress dowager let out a sigh of relief. "Who is it?!"

  Zhao Song walked up to the Empress Dowager and said in a low voice: "It's someone from Nalan Xianyu."

  The Empress was shocked. "Nalan Xinnuo?! How is it Nalan Xinnuo again!! Didn't she die?!!"

  Zhao Song thought for a moment and said softly, "She's not dead..."

  The empress was flustered, "Who is this Nalan Xinnuo? She's not someone I don't know. 'Why has she come back?! Didn't the prince say that Nalan Xinnuo was indeed his old friend?! What's going on?!'"

  Zhao Song let out a light sigh. "Your Highness, I've said it before, that Nalan Xinnuo is plotting something treacherous, deceiving the Emperor and the Princess. Now she knows that Your Highness was going to get rid of her a few days ago, so she's come back for revenge."

  Murong Taifei's face turned deathly pale, "What to do...... She wants to come and seek revenge, can't hide from it, can't hide from it......"

  Zhao Song hurriedly comforted her. "Your Ladyship, don't be afraid, my men have driven them off, and for the time being, everything is all right."

  Muyong Taifei heard this and gradually calmed down, but was extremely angry. "Go and summon Wang Shang for me."

  Luli Palace, Nalan Xinnuo slipped in, the night-watching palace maid had already fallen asleep. Nalan Xinnuo rushed into the bedroom, took off her clothes and hid under the bed, then agilely jumped onto the bed.

  Nangong Jin was still awake, but his body had already recovered. Seeing Nalan Xianyu's serious expression, he felt a pang in his heart.

  Nalan Xixi lay on the bed and opened Nan Gongyin's acupoints.

  Nangong Jin took a deep breath and looked at Nalan Xianyu. "What's wrong?"

  Nalan Xiner's eyebrows furrowed slightly. "That day, Nalan Yanran came to tell me that Zhao Song was secretly plotting a conspiracy, so I sent someone to investigate him and found that Zhao Song had laid an ambush in the Empress Dowager's palace with a team of top-notch experts. It seems that Nalan Yanran didn't lie."

  Nangong Jin's expression turned slightly cold. "What scheme? What does he want to do?"

  Nalan Xixi paused for a moment, then said in a low voice: "He wants to use several routes of cavalry to make trouble at the ceremony of granting titles, saying that he wants to show signs of rebellion to intimidate the Empress Dowager, but ultimately it will inevitably be inviting wolves into one's home."

  Nangong Jin heard this and was taken aback, "You're saying..."

  Nalan Xixiao nodded, the situation was now out of control. The dark guards she had brought were all elite warriors who had undergone extremely rigorous training, and there should be very few people in the world who could handle them. But those people had easily repelled them. As for Zhao Song himself, Nalan Xixiao knew that despite his exceptional martial arts skills, he was no match for her.

  It seems that is one of the several groups he mentioned.

  At this time, a loud noise came from outside the palace. A eunuch rushed in and knelt down on the ground, "Your Majesty! There is an assassin going to the Empress Dowager's palace with the intention of making an assassination attempt! The Empress Dowager asks you to go over immediately!"

  Nangong Jin said coldly: "I know."
