You are all bad women! Don't come over!-Chapter 478 - 461
Han Muxue showed a puzzled look, "Then what are you trying to say?"
Shen Mochen, filled with bitterness, sighed deeply, "Actually, I don't really like her, but the problem is, she really likes me... to the extent of 'marrying no one but me,' insisting that I go to Roman and marry her."
Han Muxue's expression cleared slightly, "If you don't like her, then what are you worried about?"
"Hasn't the captain told you? Her family is no ordinary family, you know about the ten marquises of Roman, right?"
"I've heard a bit."
Han Muxue nodded.
As one of the two poles of the world, the vast majority of people have some understanding of Roman. For example, people know that the ten marquises rank just below the Roman Royal Family in status, and rumors among the public describe their overwhelming power and influence. Even many young girls' novels include stories about "the unavoidable encounters with the young master of a Roman marquis' family."
Shen Mochen's face was full of anguish, "Kajiena... her full name is Catherine Petrovna Alexandrova. She is the only direct heir of one of the ten great marquis families of Roman, the Alexandrov Family... she is the future Marquis Glanjin."
Han Muxue was instantly shocked into a gaping stare, "What? She, she's actually the young lady of a marquis' family?"
"If you don't believe me, you can ask the captain."
"She... then... how do you know her..."
"Her father happened to come to our Gaotang State as a diplomat; we were classmates at First Middle School."
"How could this be... But even so, she can't just force... a common man to marry her, right?"
Han Muxue was dumbfounded. Although Liu Chaoyan was also considered a young lady, she did not flaunt it, being so humble and low-key, making it easy for people to forget her status.
But an existence like Catherine was akin to a princess or a prince from fairy tales for a commoner like Han Muxue... How did she end up becoming rivals in love with such a person?
"Indeed, the law doesn't allow it, but the problem is, there will always be a group of people who can trample on the law..."
"No, no... Even if she is a marquis from Roman... but this is Yupi..."
"You don't really think our superiors would stop her, do you... They would probably be more than happy to tie me up and send me over for a politically arranged marriage!"
"You, you're not lying to me?" Han Muxue's lips trembled.
"Which part are you referring to?"
"Everything! Everything!"
Shen Mochen solemnly swore, "I swear, if I'm lying, may lightning strike me down, and let there be no peace! She really plans to return to Yu Huai in half a month, and her ultimate goal is to marry me!"
"... Captain, Captain!"
After the panic, Han Muxue staggered towards Liu Chaoyan's room.
Shen Mochen followed her in, only to hear Han Muxue dragging her words out with a sobbing tone, "That, his ex-girlfriend, is she really a marquis from Roman?"
Liu Chaoyan gently embraced Han Muxue, soothing her with tenderness, "If nothing unexpected happens, she indeed is the future Duchess."
Han Muxue was completely panicked, "Then what do we do? Captain, can't you talk to her, ask her to like someone else..."
"I can't really speak with Her Highness the Princess..." Liu Chaoyan said with a slight bitter smile, "And besides, who one likes or dislikes isn't something that can be easily discussed and decided."
"Actually, I really don't have much interest in that young lady." Shen Mochen said with a face full of bitterness, "But she truly wants no one but me for marriage, which really puts me in a difficult position. And with her extremely powerful background, how can an insignificant superpower user like me confront her directly?"
Han Muxue bit her lip, wiped away her tears, and spoke with passion, "Then I'll fight her for it, whatever princess she may be. If she dares to steal my man, I'll slaughter her! I refuse to believe that a princess isn't human!"
Liu Chaoyan quickly consoled her, "Calm down, little Xue. What you want is to be with Shen, not to die alongside her."
"What am I supposed to do..." Han Muxue suddenly grabbed Shen Mochen's hand, staring straight into his eyes, "Let's elope!"
Shen Mochen shook his head and sighed, "In this day and age, even if we run to the ends of the earth, it's pointless..."
Han Muxue panicked, "Then let's flee to Huaqi Country..."
Shen Mochen sighed heavily, "Even though the two countries are at odds, they definitely won't offend a Marquis of Roman just for two ordinary superpower users. Don't panic... Actually, I already have a plan."
Han Muxue's eyes widened with surprise and delight, "What plan?"
"We can't confront her head-on, after all the difference in strength is too great, but we can take a softer approach... We can't stop her from taking me away to Roman to get married, but we can make her give up on her own!"
"How can we make her give up?"
"As long as she no longer likes me, she'll give up on marrying me, right?"
"Right!" Han Muxue clapped her hands.
This really was the perfect solution.
Han Muxue hurried out, "Wait for me a second."
Shen Mochen and Liu Chaoyan exchanged glances, and shortly after, Han Muxue rushed back in wielding a knife.
"Brace yourself, don't be afraid, no matter what you turn into, I'll always love you, don't be scared, it will be quick..."
Han Muxue revealed an incredibly kind and gentle smile.
"No, what are you trying to do?"
Shen Mochen was terror-stricken.
"She must only like you for your face... as long as I mark up your face, she'll definitely give up... hey, don't run, I'll be gentle!"
"Calm down, this isn't the fundamental way to solve the problem!"
Under these circumstances, how could Shen Mochen not run? Thus, the two of them started running circles around Liu Chaoyan.
"Captain, don't just stand there, save me, Captain!" Shen Mochen cried out in desperation, sweat forming on his forehead.
Liu Chaoyan very cooperatively uttered with no emotion or energy, "Calm down, calm down, don't let anyone get hurt!"
Such lackluster effort naturally led to no results, and Shen Mochen became even more anxious, screaming out, "Sister Cai, save me!"
"Oh my, what's going on with you two!"
Cai Yuncui, ever the savior in times of need, finally arrived. She got a fright when she saw Han Muxue chasing Shen Mochen with a knife but quickly realized what was happening, took a risk stepping forward, and snatched the knife away from Han Muxue.
"Sister Cai, you are the best!"
Taking advantage of the situation, Shen Mochen plunged into Cai Yuncui's arms, burying his face deep and taking deep breaths.
Cai Yuncui's face flushed slightly, somewhat angry, "What happened, how did this mess start? No, no matter what happened, you can't use a knife! That's so dangerous!"
Han Muxue licked her lips and sadly recounted the whole situation.
"That young lady is that fierce..." After listening to the explanation, Cai Yuncui blinked and suggested, "Then we might as well just stay put at our base... After all, ordinary people can't get in."
"That's too naive, Sister Cai," Shen Mochen spread his hands, "Even though the law states that, there's always a group of bastards in this world who ride roughshod over people and tread on the law. Plus, Kajiena is a superpower user herself, it would be simple for her to get in here."
Han Muxue grew impatient, "So, we should just follow my plan..."
Shen Mochen quickly interjected, "No, no, no, actually, I've got a plan that offers the best of both worlds!"
"What's the plan?" Cai Yuncui and Han Muxue asked in unison.
"Kajiena likes me so much not just because of my handsome and attractive appearance but even more so because of my loyal and noble character!" Shen Mochen said, eyes wide open.
"And what kind of guy do girls hate the most? That's right, a disloyal scumbag! So, as long as I become a flirty scumbag, she will surely begin to despise me!"
