Chapter 8: 第8章 从美男到未婚夫的飞速转变

It's over!

That terrifying, demonic voice caused Shangguan Ling's body to stiffen. The pursuers were here!

Feng Jinmo's slightly furrowed brows instantly relaxed, and a dangerous glint flashed quietly in the depths of his eyes. *Have they finally arrived?*

A sharp gust of wind pierced through the air before his eyes. In the next second, Shangguan Ling, who had been in his arms, was grabbed by the ear and hauled out.

*Such speed, such agility!* Feng Jinmo couldn't help but admire. How could such skills belong to a young woman in a small border town?

A hint of danger flashed across his brow.

"Ouch, Mother, why are you here?" Shangguan Ling asked softly with a pout, secretly casting continuous pleas for help toward Feng Jinmo.

*Fiancé, save me!*

Receiving her signal for help, Feng Jinmo hesitated slightly. "Miss, perhaps you should let the baby go first, she's about to..." suffocating!

Before he could finish his sentence, Shangguan Ruoyu's cold, piercing gaze stabbed toward him: "Baby? Who gave you the right to call my daughter that? While I don't necessarily reject age-gap romances, I will absolutely, absolutely never entrust my daughter to a kidnapper who snatched her away!"

Seeing this group discussing things among themselves and treating him as if he didn't exist, the bandits began to howl, attempting to assert their presence.

"So noisy!" Shangguan Ruoyu picked at her ear and shoved Shangguan Ling into her son's arms. With a swift spin of her feet, she accurately intercepted a bandit's swinging saber. With a flick of her wrist and a sharp *crack*, the bandit was swiftly flipped onto the ground.

"Mother is so brutal, *sob sob sob*, pretty brother, save me." Shangguan Ling tried to scurry toward Feng Jinmo, but after only two or three steps, her collar was yanked back by Shangguan Bai.

"Sister, please maintain your dignity in broad daylight."

"Old brother, you're clearly just jealous because I'm in high demand and found a fiancé." Shangguan Ling glared at him through bared teeth, proudly puffing out her chest.

Shangguan Bai's blade-sharp eyebrows twitched slightly. "Fiancé? Since when did you sprout a fiancé?"

How could he, her brother, not know about such a thing?

This man must have used sweet words to secretly decide his sister's future. How hateful! Shangguan Bai's cold, small face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. Feng Jinmo stood quietly to the side, a trace of hidden envy glancing faintly over the siblings.

"What are you looking at? Don't you dare set your sights on my sister." Shangguan Bai shielded Shangguan Ling behind him like a mother hen protecting her chicks.

"Pretty brother, save me," Shangguan Ling called out with teary eyes.

*Bang.* The last bandit met his end at the hands of Shangguan Ruoyu. She clapped her hands and, without even glancing at the scum rolling on the ground, walked toward Feng Jinmo with a sharp, imposing aura.

"Alright, the enemies are dealt with. Now, shouldn't we have a good talk regarding the serious issue of you kidnapping my daughter?"

"Heh heh..." Feng Jinmo gave a dry laugh, a bead of cold sweat silently trickling down his forehead.

"What are you laughing at? Do you know what a 'heh heh' laugh implies? Don't think you can gloss over the kidnapping just because you have a face that looks like a playboy's. Let me tell you, it won't be that simple." Shangguan Ruoyu stood with her hands on her hips, ignoring her wailing daughter as she aimed her cannon-like mouth at Feng Jinmo.

"Then, Miss, what is it you want?" Adhering to the principle that the more one says, the more mistakes one makes, Feng Jinmo did not argue. He could tell just how powerful this woman's ability was to distort right and wrong.

*Interesting enough. Quite special.*
