Chapter 619: She Was Already Tuoba Xiao’s Woman

Chapter 619: She Was Already Tuoba Xiao's Woman

Without warning, the young man practically dragged her out of the carriage.

Qingluo panicked when she saw this and rushed forward to pull his arm away, but as soon as her hand touched him, she felt his arm was like an unyielding fortress.

In one swift motion, he pushed her aside, causing her to fall onto the seat, and then pulled Su Youyue out of the carriage.

"General Tuoba, what do you mean? Are you trying to kidnap me?" Su Youyue hadn't expected him to act so unpredictably.

Moreover, she had disguised herself so well. How had he even recognized her?

A crowd of citizens had already gathered to watch. Seeing Tuoba Xiao pulling a woman, they first thought the famously unpredictable young general was seeking revenge. Even after hearing Su Youyue's words, they remained doubtful, but the next moment, Tuoba Xiao lifted her onto his horse, clearly planning to take her away.

Su Youyue was startled. Since she became pregnant, she had avoided horseback riding to protect her unborn child. If Tuoba Xiao were to take her away on horseback like before, her baby could be at risk!

But exposing the shadow guards hidden nearby now would surely raise suspicions among those hunting for Meng Ziyu and Shen Yuansong!

As she thought about how to signal Zhe Ying, Tuoba Xiao reached out to force her onto the horse.

Su Youyue could no longer endure it. She twisted around on the horse and slapped him across the face.

She had wanted to do this for a long time!

The slap rang out, and everyone present was stunned.

Including Tuoba Xiao himself.

He hadn't expected Su Youyue to strike, and no one had ever dared to slap him before, so the slap caught him completely off guard.

His face snapped to the side, his expression obscured by the strands of hair falling over his forehead, making it impossible to read.

The more this was the case, the more terrified the onlookers became.

Someone had actually slapped General Tuoba! She must not know how he usually deals with people... She's finished!

After the slap, Su Youyue came to her senses and felt a twinge of regret.

She had just struck this madman in public. Whether he would go mad or not was one thing, but the Emperor of Dongrong would surely go berserk!

"General Tuoba, please restrain yourself. I, Shen Nan, am a virtuous woman. Even if I die, I will not follow you under such unclear circumstances."

She tried to salvage the situation, glancing around. When her eyes fell on Shen Zhuyu and Shen Yuanfeng, she froze.

But the siblings were even more stunned than she was.

They had gone to the Bai family but hadn't found Shen Nan. Yet, on their way back, they had run into her.

They had planned to confront her about Shen Yuansong's whereabouts as soon as they saw her, but witnessing this fearless little lunatic slap Tuoba Xiao in public left them dumbfounded.

Did Shen Nan have a death wish?

In the Holy City, if she offended Prince Bei, she might still survive. But if she provoked Tuoba Xiao, she truly had no hope...

Everyone knew he was a complete troublemaker!

For a moment, the siblings dared not approach Su Youyue to question her. They feared that stepping forward now would only implicate them with Tuoba Xiao.

Everyone waited for Tuoba Xiao's reaction, imagining how he would tear apart this audacious woman who had dared to slap him.

But against all expectations.

The young man pressed his tongue against the side of his face where he'd been struck, and when he turned his head, the corner of his mouth lifted.

"Good... very good..."

"You still won't admit it..."

"Who else but you would dare strike me like this!"

The crowd was confused, but seeing Miss Shen still standing unharmed, they couldn't help but secretly marvel.

Tuoba Xiao turned to mount his horse, and Su Youyue raised her hand again.

Daring to strike again?

The onlookers were stunned.

This Miss Shen, how could she be so foolhardy!

This time, Tuoba Xiao was ready and dodged, but Zhe Ying charged forward, launching an attack.

Tuoba Xiao reacted swiftly, turning around and forcing Zhe Ying to retreat.

Not to mention the numerous burly guards behind him, who also stepped forward, quickly tangling with Zhe Ying.

"Who's left by your side now?" Tuoba Xiao turned around, teasing, "Are you still hoping for Xie Yuan to save you? He's probably in no position to help himself, let alone you."

Hearing this, Su Youyue realized this madman, having only returned for a couple of days, probably already knew everything.

Whenever he appeared, she faced endless troubles, and now she was truly in a predicament.

If she went with Tuoba Xiao, she feared the madman might actually lock her away, somewhere Xie Yuan would never find, and even if the Emperor of Dongrong himself intervened, this madman wouldn't let her go.

If she didn't go with him, she might have to reveal her identity.

Her plans had only just begun...

Once again, she found herself in deep trouble because of this madman.

At that moment, an arrow came slicing through the air, heading straight for Tuoba Xiao's chest.

In an instant, the sharp arrowhead was about to pierce Tuoba Xiao's chest, and before the crowd could even gasp, the young man suddenly sidestepped and snatched the arrow mid-air.

Everyone couldn't help but look in the direction from which the arrow had come.

They spotted a man in a dark golden mask who had not yet put down his longbow, but instead had nocked a second arrow: "Let her go."

His voice was as sharp as the arrow on his bowstring, carrying an overwhelming pressure.

The young man beside him seemed flustered: "Hey, Helian, calm down, calm down, that's General Tuoba, if you hurt him, the trouble would be huge..."

Yuwen Jing was sweating profusely; he had been shocked when he saw Tuoba Xiao also trying to snatch Miss Shen. Wasn't Tuoba Xiao uninterested in women? Why was he snatching someone in the street?

But when he turned around to gossip with Helian Lin, he saw the man had already shot an arrow at Tuoba Xiao, nearly scaring him to death.

The man had no intention of listening to Yuwen Jing and repeated: "Let her go."

The arrow was already aimed at Tuoba Xiao's head.

But the young man seemed as if he didn't know the meaning of fear, leisurely spinning the long arrow between his three fingers.

"Helian Lin, what is this woman to you? What I, the general, want to do is none of your business!"

He sneered mockingly, clearly confident that the man before him wouldn't dare to admit his identity.

"What, are you trying to steal my woman?"

At these words, Su Youyue clenched her fists, while the crowd around them burst into an uproar.

Tuoba Xiao's woman? Who, Miss Shen?

Could they believe their ears?

Seeing the crowd's reaction, Tuoba Xiao seemed quite pleased, spinning the arrow in his hand a couple more times: "This woman has long been mine, just waiting for me to return and make her my lawful wife. You, Helian Lin, dare to challenge me for a woman? Think carefully about your place in the Holy City!"
