Chapter 331: Nangong Yupiao Was Attracted to Guan Chibei

Nangong Yupiao drifted out of the room and walked leisurely to the only window in the corridor. She occupied the window and ensured that she could enjoy the freshest air alone.

She was afraid that she would not be able to breathe because of the fire.

However, there was a child who had just reached Nangong Yupiao’s waist. It was a boy. He was chubby and had a round face. He looked like he was carved from jade. His eyes were black and bright, and they were watery. He looked very innocent.

He was wearing noble clothes. Just the jade pendant on his chubby waist was shocking because it was a Pixiu that had jade inlaid with gold.

A Pixiu was the son of a dragon. Only the imperial family could use it.

If this child was not from the imperial family, he would be from another family close to them. In short, he was related to the imperial family.

Nangong Yupiao had forgotten that everyone who could stay on the Tianzi floor of the Golden Inn was either rich or noble. It was possible for them to have any background.

Not everyone was afraid of her identity.

This boy was protected by only a guard. That guard’s face was stern and cold, and his aura was extraordinary. He was dressed in black, and his eyes were cold and calm. He was also very handsome!

That guard’s martial arts were extraordinary at a glance. He protected the boy’s safety but did not restrict the boy’s actions. It was as if he allowed the boy to do whatever he wanted and only protected his safety.

The boy ran out of the room and walked to the window. He turned his head and said, “Uncle Leng, carry me. I want to take a breather. I smell smoke.”

The cold man didn’t say a word. He just walked forward and wanted to pick up the boy.

Unexpectedly, Nangong Yupiao frowned and displeasure surged up. She immediately refused, “No, who allowed you to come over? I don’t allow anyone to be so close to me.”

Nangong Yupiao’s usual behavior acted up. She raised her chin and looked at the boy. “Stay three steps away from me.”

However, the cold man did not seem to have heard her words at all. He only listened to the boy’s instructions and walked forward. He bent down and picked up the boy.

The boy was quite firm and his weight was definitely not light. However, the man seemed to be under no pressure and picked him up naturally.

Nangong Yupiao’s expression became ugly. She shouted coldly, “Get lost. I said that you’re not allowed to come over.”

Unexpectedly, as soon as Nangong Yupiao said these words, the boy’s expression suddenly changed for some reason. He said in a childish voice, “How dare you!”

There was an inexplicable domineering aura.

The entire corridor fell silent.

She was really shocked by the boy’s aura and words.

Who would be used to saying such words?!

Ordinary families did not seem to know how to say such things, nor did they have such an imposing aura…

Hence, everyone was suddenly stunned by the boy. They were not afraid of this chubby boy, but they were stunned by this sound.

However, when everyone looked over with strange gazes, Nangong Yupiao’s expression became even uglier. The child’s merciless reprimand of a high-ranking official just now had also offended her dignity as a daughter of a rich family.

Nangong Yupiao was enraged and scolded, “Where did this bastard come from? Get lost!”

The moment this was said…

For some reason, the air seemed to have frozen.

The aura on the cold man suddenly attacked in an extremely domineering manner. That aura was oppressive and terrifying. He moved as if he wanted to do something, but before he could do so, the boy in his arms moved faster than him.

“How dare you!”

The boy’s voice was also filled with shock and anger. After cursing, he actually jumped out of the man’s arms and bumped into Nangong Yupiao.

Something shocking happened in an instant. The moment the scene appeared, everyone was shocked.

The boy was like a stone as he smashed heavily into Nangong Yupiao. His entire body seemed to be covered in anger, and it was extremely shocking…

Nangong Yupiao also widened her eyes.

Their actions happened in an instant…

The boy knocked into Nangong Yupiao’s body heavily. Nangong Yupiao was weak and her lower body was not stable at all. Furthermore, it just so happened that the window of this inn was not opened high. Nangong Yupiao opened her mouth and let out a cry. Then, her eyes widened in shock, and her upper body leaned back…

The window was broken by the force. Nangong Yupiao… was actually knocked out of the window and fell out!

Due to the momentum, the chubby boy also fell out with Nangong Yupiao!

However, a thin but strong hand reached out and grabbed the boy’s belt. Then, it pulled him back.

Nangong Yupiao, who had fallen out of the window alone, was confused.

“Ah!”

Screams sounded from the surroundings.

“Yupiao!” Even Madam Rufei exclaimed in shock.

Everyone watched helplessly as Nangong Yupiao fell.

The night, the fire, and the light from the top floor reflected on Nangong Yupiao’s body.

During the fall, Nangong Yupiao’s unhappy and angry expression finally turned to fear.

“Ahhh—”

Nangong Yupiao forced out a series of cries.

Her heart was beating like thunder as if it was about to jump out of her chest.

The fear of death filled Nangong Yupiao’s mind. Could it be that she was going to die from this fall?

At the same time, Guan Chibei and Ye Lulu stood by the window, wondering if they should jump down. It seemed that there was a big fire.

The third floor they were on was not particularly high. It seemed that it was possible for Guan Chibei to jump out and escape with Ye Lulu.

After they escaped, they would see how the inn was doing. It seemed safer to make plans then.

“Let’s go?”

Ye Lulu was more decisive and turned to look at him.

Guan Chibei’s eyes darkened. He nodded and was about to hug Ye Lulu’s waist when a scream sounded from outside the window. A shadow seemed to have fallen.

In an instant, Guan Chibei’s reaction was extremely fast. His eyes darkened and his figure flashed. His movements were faster than his thoughts. In the blink of an eye, his figure had flown out and caught the person who had fallen from the sky.

It was Nangong Yupiao.

As Nangong Yupiao had fallen from the fifth floor, the inertia was too strong. Guan Chibei was no exception. After saving Nangong Yupiao, he followed her down.

Just as Nangong Yupiao thought that she was going to fall to her death…

Facing the dark sky, the stars, and the pieces of wood that fell with her…

In the end, just as her mind went numb and she was feeling extreme fear…

A figure suddenly flew out from the window beside her. It was as if there was divine light. Most importantly, there was hope for life. Just as her heart was about to explode, he saved her in time.

He even hugged her waist.

Furthermore, because of the way they landed, that person saved her and naturally spun her around in the air a few times…

Nangong Yupiao’s heart returned to its original position. She suddenly had hopes of living. It was obvious that she had been saved at this moment. How strong was the feeling?

Especially since Guan Chibei was very handsome.

Nangong Yupiao’s head suddenly leaned back. Her gaze landed on the face of the person above.

She saw a handsome face against a dark background.

Over the past year, Guan Chibei had been controlling this body bit by bit.

Furthermore, after Ye Lulu transmigrated, the Guan family’s food standards had also increased. When they ate well and were nourished, Guan Chibei’s appearance changed.

His skin became fairer and cleaner, and his facial features became more defined. His eyebrows were deep, and his nose bridge was high. His eyes were deep and calm, but they looked enticing.

He could originally be considered delicate with a hint of simplicity from the mountains. His youthful aura covered his original looks, revealing a mature charm and a man’s edge.

Unknowingly, his appearance was already that of a deep and handsome man with defined features.

Guan Chibei was already handsome, and this scene… was a moment of hope in a hopeless situation. Therefore, the moment Nangong Yupiao saw Guan Chibei…

It was as if she saw a heavenly deity descend.

Nangong Yupiao’s gaze paused and focused on Guan Chibei’s face.

There was still despair and fear in her eyes. She was stunned for a moment and instinctively looked at Guan Chibei. She realized that she was saved and felt safe. Under such circumstances, this sense of security… naturally relied on Guan Chibei.

Moreover, what made Nangong Yupiao feel extremely embarrassed was that… this man’s arm was wrapped around her waist and he was hugging her.

This… This…

The daughters of noble families always had strict rules. They rarely touched any men, including their closest, father. This was definitely the first time Nangong Yupiao was so close to an adult man.

After Nangong Yupiao reacted, her face flushed red. She was at a loss for what to do, embarrassed and a little angry.

Coincidentally, Guan Chibei had saved Nangong Yupiao and landed safely.

He must have used his Qinggong. Although he kept falling, by the time he landed, all the strength had been removed. He brought Nangong Yupiao to land steadily.

When they landed, time froze.

There were a few people on the top floor, led by Madam Fei. They looked down with frightened expressions.

When they saw that Nangong Yupiao’s figure had been saved, all of them heaved a sigh of relief in unison, and their faces were ghastly pale like paper.

Nangong Yupiao’s feet landed on the ground, and only then did she recover from her shock. Her gaze landed on the man’s face in front of her again. Her heart moved, and her face suddenly turned pink.

She opened her cherry lips and felt her heart beating fast. Her thoughts were surging.

This man… had saved her life.

At that critical moment, he gave her a superb feeling.

It was very difficult… to not have any reaction.

At that moment, Nangong Yupiao… was attracted to Guan Chibei.

Who… was he?!

His martial arts were amazing. She fell from such a high place, but he could still catch her. Furthermore, the two of them stopped safely. He was skilled. Who was he? What was his identity?!

Nangong Yupiao was stunned and her gaze was fixed on Guan Chibei.

Just as Nangong Yupiao felt that she and Guan Chibei were standing in a beautiful and romantic embrace, Ye Lulu looked down from the third floor.

As soon as Guan Chibei saved her life, he immediately let go of Nangong Yupiao. He looked up at Ye Lulu, who was still above, and opened his arms. He said calmly:

“Jump down. I’ll catch you.”

Nangong Yupiao’s heart was still pink when she was suddenly let go. Because she had been too shocked just now, her legs went limp and she could not stand steadily. She swayed suddenly and almost fell.

Nangong Yupiao was stunned and came back to her senses. “Huh?”

This… why did this skilled man suddenly let go of her?

In the next second, she heard the man speak. She looked up and saw a face that looked like a lotus blooming in clear water.

Beautiful was the second adjective that came to mind. The biggest feeling was liveliness.

This perspective was also against the dark night sky. She popped her head out of the window on the third floor and looked down slightly. Her small face only looked pink and white like snow, and her eyebrows were filled with spiritual energy, making people feel attracted to her at a glance.

Nangong Yupiao had yet to react.

Ye Lulu was confused.

She did not pay much attention to Nangong Yupiao. She happened to see someone falling from the top floor. Guan Chibei had martial arts, so his first reaction was to save her. What was wrong with that?

She did not think much of it. It was a matter of life and death. He should save them if he could. However, what did Guan Chibei say to her after he landed?

Jump down?

He would catch her?

Did he say wrongly? He wanted her to jump down!

Guan Chibei looked up at her. “Yes, jump down. I can catch you.”

The hall was on fire. The people upstairs did not know how to get down. It was fine if the fire in the hall was controlled. Who knew what the situation was now?

Guan Chibei had already landed because he had saved someone. Only Ye Lulu was still in the room upstairs. He would definitely bring her down as well.

Then she might as well jump down and let him catch her.

Ye Lulu’s beautiful face distorted for a moment before she popped her head out and said, “Re… really? No, how can I just jump down? I can’t do it.”

Guan Chibei replied calmly, “I can catch you. Be bold.”

Ye Lulu argued, “I really can’t.”

Jumping off a building? Was this a joke?

Although she believed in Guan Chibei’s capability, this psychological barrier was not easy to overcome. In any case, Ye Lulu really could not do this.

“Don’t be afraid. Jump.” Guan Chibei’s voice softened as he looked at her.

She met Guan Chibei’s eyes.

Ye Lulu paused. She wanted to do as he said and stop dawdling, but she was indeed in a difficult spot. She was struggling to overcome her psychological barrier.
