All the members are villains, and she just wants to show off when she is dressed as cannon fodder.

Lu Xingzhou's face turned pale, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead, as if he had experienced extreme mental torture. As soon as someone infringed on his safety range, he immediately started to struggle nervously.

His expression was ferocious and twisted, and the fierce light in his eyes was intimidating. His whole person was like a wild leopard, ready to attack at any time.

Yuan Tong'er was accidentally knocked to the ground by him, and Qu Baiyu's people swarmed him.

"stop!"

Yuan Tong'er climbed up with Qu Baiyu's help and quickly stopped the man who came forward to beat Lu Xingzhou.

She protected Lu Xingzhou and looked at Qu Baiyu, who was standing aside indifferently, in disbelief.

"He is Lu Xingzhou! He is the only son of King Donghu and the most noble prince of Donghu. How dare you?!"

Qu Baiyu stood in front of the only light source in the darkness against the firelight, his expression shrouded in the dimness, making it difficult to see clearly. There was an inexplicable chill all over his body that could not be ignored.

"...Yuan Tong'er?"

Lu Xingzhou suddenly murmured in his arms.

Yuan Tong'er got closer to him and saw that he seemed to have regained his consciousness, and then he felt relieved.

"It's me, I'm Yuan Tong'er!"

Lu Xingzhou's weak face was full of disbelief and surprise.

"... Yuan Tong'er... you're still alive? That's great... you're still alive..."

The messy hair was stuck to his face with blood scabs, and there were bruises and new blood stains on his black stubble.

Lu Xingzhou was crying and laughing with some slurred lips and teeth, his hands were hung in the air by iron chains, and he was hanging there on his knees, in a miserable state, without any trace of his former high-spirited, noble and glorious appearance.

Seeing this, Yuan Tong'er's nose became sore and tears flowed out.

She thought Qu Baiyu would really let Lu Xingzhou go as she said after they said goodbye that day, but she didn't expect that he would lock him up like this for half a year!

She pushed aside the messy hair on Lu Xingzhou's face distressedly, and kept responding to Lu Xingzhou's babbling questions.

"I'm alive, still alive."

But he never noticed that the Qubaiyu not far away had already clenched its joints blue and white.

Jealousy was like millions of ants, constantly gnawing at his heart, creeping into his blood vessels, and spreading throughout his body.

When he thought that Lu Xingzhou had gained Yuan Tong'er's pity after only being pitied by someone he had worked so hard to find, he felt as if a huge boulder was weighing down his heart, making him unable to breathe.

Yuan Tong'er tugged at the iron chain, turned to Qu Baiyu and said, "Let him go."

Her tone was calm, to the point of indifference. The tender attachment to Qu Baiyu that he had before was completely gone.

Jealousy, resentment, and all the acrimony in his life reached its peak at this moment. Qu Baiyu's hateful eyes almost burst into flames, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Don't let go."

Yuan Tong'er's eyes gradually turned cold, "Qu Baiyu, I want you to let him go."

His attitude was so firm that Qu Baiyu was stunned.

The dim environment concealed the increasingly sinister eyes. Qu Baiyu was like a poisonous snake hiding in the darkness, staring at the prey in front of him. Just wait for the opportunity to bite and kill in one fell swoop.

That look was so terrifying that even if it was hidden in the darkness, it still made people shudder.

Yuan Tong'er said again: "Qu Baiyu, let him go. He is not your enemy!"

Lu Xingzhou laughed softly, and his laughter echoed in the empty dungeon, which was particularly harsh.

"Yuan Tong'er, don't beg him, he won't let us go."

"us?"

"It's us!"

Lu Xingzhou chuckled, his face full of contempt.

"Qu Baiyu, what you want is the world. For the sake of the world, you will clear all obstacles. Even your own brother, the former prince of Lizhou, is your stepping stone to the top of power!

Your hands are covered with blood, how can anyone in the world get into your heart?

Admit it, Yuan Tong'er is just an obsession that you can't let go of because you can't get it for a long time!

If you were asked to choose between her and Jiangshan, you would definitely choose Jiangshan.

But I am different from you... I only want Yuan Tong'er! "

After he finished speaking, he looked at the dazed Yuan Tong'er, his eyes filled with uncontrollable nostalgia.

With a "crack" sound, Qu Baiyu drew out his sharp sword and instantly pointed it at Lu Xingzhou. At the same moment, Yuan Tong'er rushed out and stood in front of Lu Xingzhou.

"Don't kill him!"

The color of Qu Baiyu's eyes changed slightly. He flipped his palm and the sword immediately deviated from its original direction. It crossed the side of Yuan Tong'er's face and a strand of black hair fell to the ground.

The dungeon was silent, and it was as if one could hear the sound of a wisp of black hair falling to the ground.

For a moment, Qu Baiyu's eyes turned scarlet red, and his deep voice almost broke his teeth.

"You think so too?"

Yuan Tong'er was in shock. She stared at the almost broken Qu Baiyu and didn't know how to answer.

She wanted to believe in Qu Baiyu, she had always wanted to believe in him unconditionally. But what she saw and what Qu Baiyu did during this time had to make her re-examine the powerful person in front of her.

But she softened her tone knowing now was not the time to anger him.

"Qu Baiyu, calm down. I just don't want you to kill him. He is the crown prince of Donghu after all. Whether it is you or Yuan Ruo, now is not the time to annoy King Donghu.

No matter how bad King Donghu is at fighting, he only has one son, Lu Xingzhou! "

"Heh, so what?"

Qu Baiyu said coldly, the chill in his heart almost covering his whole body.

He was extremely angry. Lu Xingzhou deliberately provoked him and wanted to teach him a lesson, but he never wanted to kill him from the beginning to the end. But Yuantong'er's words contained distrust of him, so he simply didn't want to explain.

"I just want to kill him, what can you do?"

He threw the sharp sword in his hand back to the guard beside him and followed suit: "If you dare to take him away today, I will pierce his heart with thousands of arrows!"

After he finished speaking, the guards behind him loaded their bows and arrows, aiming their arrow tips at Lu Xingzhou behind Yuan Tong'er.

Yuan Tong'er panicked, and the scene of the tragic death of the little goldfish appeared in her mind.

She knew that no matter how much she deceived herself, the Qu Baiyu in her heart was already different from the first time. She could no longer trust him wholeheartedly.

At the moment when she couldn't protect Lu Xingzhou no matter how hard she tried, she also knew that she had no chance of winning against the powerful man in front of her. The only thing she could rely on was his love for her.

She hurriedly ran to Qu Baiyu, her eyes were red, and said: "Brother Abao, I beg you... let him go, okay? Don't kill him..."

Qu Baiyu lowered his head and looked at Yuan Tong'er who took the initiative to throw himself into his arms. His eyes were like a sharp knife, piercing deeply into Yuan Tong'er's heart and scraping it bluntly.

Every time you stay for one more breath, you will scrape one more inch.

"Do you like him so much? Can't you let him go?"

So much so that even with this method, I had to let him go!

Qu Baiyu's voice was dull with an imperceptible hoarseness, and there was a blazing flame in his eyes, which was increasingly sparkling with anger and resentment, as if he wanted to swallow up everything behind Yuan Tong'er.

Yuan Tong'er couldn't help but feel horrified by what he saw, and her whole body felt cold.

Then he heard Qu Baiyu sneer and hug him tightly, and a warm, moist but chilling sound came from his ears.

"... Then you can watch with your own eyes how he is killed by me!"
