Chapter 8: 008：帅，实在是帅！

008: Handsome, truly handsome! Wow! Previously, she had only felt that the beautiful man was charming, enchanting, and delectable, but looking at him now, that was likely due to the drugs he had ingested. A man like this could not be described by "enchanting" alone!

The beautiful man's features were like a painting. His handsome face, carved as if by a knife and axe, combined with eyes as piercing and deep as a frigid pool; framed by the setting sun, his white robes fluttered like a banished immortal while his dark hair swayed lightly. His cold, upright physique was like a god descending from the heavens, making one feel an involuntary sense of awe and fear.

Sheng Luo swallowed hard. Handsome, truly handsome! Beautiful, truly beautiful! The combination of the two was not contradictory at all, but rather made one's heart itch with unbearable desire! At this moment, she finally understood why those older women and aunties were so desperate to claim him!

Beside Ming Zun, the two guards who had been guarding Sheng Luo earlier saw that the suspended Sheng Luo had finally woken up, only to start drooling over their master! Their mouths twitched even more violently!

Looking at the crowd of Mo Yun Pavilion members below Sheng Luo, who were holding her hostage, their eyes twitched incessantly. This girl—she couldn't possibly not have realized her own situation yet, could she?

"Well? Has the Lord decided whether he wishes to cooperate with this Palace?" A handsome man in black robes spoke as he reached out to tug at the white silk in the hand of the maid beside him. As he did, the woman, who was tightly bound by the white silk and suspended from a tree branch above, swayed violently. Facing this, Ming Zun's reaction remained indifferent. The man was in no hurry, waiting for his response with considerable patience.

This was the first time he had seen a living woman by Ming Zun's side; he refused to believe that this filthy woman held nothing special for him!

"Pavilion Master Xiao seems to think that grabbing some random cat or dog can threaten our Master!" Mu Yan snorted coldly, casting a disdainful glance at the still-swaying Sheng Luo, suspecting that Xiao Moyun had left the house without his brain. Their master would never compromise with others! And especially not for a woman!

Sheng Luo narrowed her eyes. *Cat or dog! Dammit! You're talking about your own big family!*

If she hadn't figured out the current situation after swaying for so long, it would truly be an insult to her reputation as the Poisonous Vine! Although her body was tied tightly with white silk, at least her acupoints had been released! Stretching her neck, which was a bit stiff from looking down for too long, Sheng Lao slowly turned her head. Only a ghost would want to know what terms they were discussing! She just wanted to see which brainless fool thought that holding a prisoner of this handsome man could threaten the man himself!

With just one glance, Sheng Luo wanted to curse the heavens again! How could the soil and water of ancient times be so good! How could they produce so many handsome men and beautiful women! Looking at that handsome guy protected by a heavy guard, he looked quite grand, but unfortunately, his brain wasn't working very well!

While Sheng Luo was still lamenting that even these minor guards and maidservants were so fresh and tender, Xiao Moyun's aura suddenly changed due to Mu Yan's words! Seeing that Ming Zun still maintained an indifferent expression, Xiao Moyun curled his lips.

"The Lord truly needs to discipline his subordinates! When the Master is speaking, how can a servant find the place to interject!"

As Xiao Moyun's light voice fell, Sheng Luo felt a powerful surge of true qi bypass her feet and head toward Mu Yan beside Ming Zun. In the next second, she saw Ming Zun wave his hand, and the true qi that had previously attacked Mu Yan abruptly changed direction, heading straight for Xiao Moyun!

"Hmph! My subordinates are not for you to manage!"

Xiao Moyun's expression turned cold as he met the strike with his palm. Even though he used his full strength to block it, he was still forced back several steps, a metallic taste of blood rising in his chest.

Sheng Luo's eyes lit up. She turned toward Ming Zun and shouted at the top of her lungs, her voice sounding incredibly sorrowful and hopeful! "Lord, save me! Help!" This guy surnamed Xiao was no match for the handsome man. A wise man chooses his side carefully; picking the right side to lean on was the only smart move.

The dozen or so guards beside Ming Zun heard this sudden, sorrowful cry, and black lines simultaneously appeared on their foreheads. They wanted their Lord to save her? This woman—is she truly out of her mind?
