Married To The Cruel Crown Prince

Chapter 555 - My Ideal

Once Quan Bo left the place, Nianzu turned to them, who was glaring at him.

"Don't you know that you should not look into the eyes of a nobleman?" Xie Tian scolded Nianzu.

"It is strange to see that a mere commoner is bothering you so much that you three tried to blackmail my friend," asserted Nianzu and snickered.

"Mind your language, Nianzu," Liu Shing reminded him. "You only need to beg for forgiveness from Young Master Luo Zhen," he stated.

"Beg for forgiveness," Nianzu chuckled. "If it solves the problem, then I will do it," Nianzu said. Luo Zhen had not expected that Nianzu would agree to this so easily.

"Do you think I will easily forgive you? You insulted me in front of the noble classmen. I heard that you are making an extra living by writing and transcribing books. I will make you and your petty wife my servant!" Luo Zhen pronounced and smirked.

"Watch your tongue, Young Master Luo. I had warned you the other day too not to involve my wife in your ridiculous conversation," Nianzu asserted with a calm face. "As I said you all are young people, so do not involve yourself in the life of others just for your own fun," he suggested to them.

Luo Zhen started to laugh and stepped towards Nianzu.

"A commoner must not tell me what to do or what not to. This is the first rule to not get into the bad side of a nobleman," Luo Zhen stated. "Your poor wife will beg me to save your life!" He stated.

Nianzu chuckled. "That would never happen," he replied with a confident tone.

Nianzu never believed in fights and he negotiated most of the time. Also, in front of them, he could not fight… not because he could not defeat them but because they might get suspicious of him and could trouble him more by checking about his background. He thought to calm the situation through the conversation.

"Young Master Luo shall not waste his time on a commoner like me. I apologize to you. For a second, I forgot that I am in front of an upper-classman," Nianzu lowered his head. Xie Tian and Liu Shing smiled as Nianzu lowered his head.

Luo Zhen put his right hand on Nianzu's left shoulder and pressed his fingers. Nianzu did not lift his eyes. He felt a little pain which he could endure easily. Luo Zhen pushed him and Nianzu fell to the ground.

Nianzu narrowly gazed at him when Luo Zhen kicked him and he laid flatly on the ground. He kicked on his liver's side.

"Ahh," Nianzu hissed in pain. Luo Zhen put his right leg on Nianzu's chest and pressed him down. "This is your place," He said. Nianzu coughed blood, but he did not fight back.

"Grab both of his hands. He has pride in those. I will cut them today," Luo Zhen said furiously. "Then, I will make your wife my chief servant," he smirked. "You think women should be kept at a higher place than men. I will make you see her place," Luo Zhen affirmed.

Nianzu understood that Luo Zhen would not understand his words. So, he decided to fight. Luo Zhen pulled out the sword from his sheath when Nianzu, using his strength, pushed his leg away and swiftly stood up. Because now if he did not fight back then he might lose not only his hand but also Chuntao.

"How dare you?" Luo Zhen shouted.

Nianzu had taken out the fan from inside his robes and opened it. "I thought my apology will be enough to calm down the anger of Young Master Luo. I was wrong. Some kids understand after getting beaten up," Nianzu stated.

"You think you can beat me with that paper fan!" Luo Zhen said astonishingly and started to laugh. Liu Shing and Xie Tian also came towards Luo Zhen.

"This might look like a normal paper fan but believe me it will defeat you three," Nianzu stated. "So, if you three do not want to get beaten up and humiliated, you three shall stop," Nianzu asserted as he moved the fan a little.

Luo Zhen's facial expressions turned grim and he attacked Nianzu. He slashed the sword to the front. But Nianzu swiftly moved backward and defended himself using the fan, which was on the hilt of the sword, and his other hand had caught Luo Zhen's hand.

Nianzu swiftly removed his hand from the hilt and hit Luo Zhen's chest, who was pushed backward. Liu Shing and Xie Tian asked Luo Zhen if he was fine.

Nianzu smiled and took his right foot back. Again he started to fan himself. The night had started to fall, and visibility had lowered.

"Go home before you three end up hurting," Nianzu again warned them.

Luo Zhen again attacked him… this time with full force. Nianzu protected himself well with the fan in his hand. Xie Tian and Liu Shing were awestruck to see the fighting abilities of Nianzu, who sliced off the fan in the air and defended himself from getting injured from the sword. They were scared, so did not step ahead.

Luo Zhen could not even touch Nianzu while he was being kicked many times. At last, Nianzu hit on the back of his palm with the fan because of which Luo Zhen loosened the grip on the sword. It fell from his hand. Nianzu kicked on the hilt of the sword and it bounced off the ground. Nianzu quickly caught it and put it on the neck of Luo Zhen who widened his eyes.

"The sword can cut a paper into pieces making it not valuable in the eyes of Young Master Luo. However, this paper, when used in a fan, has the ability to defeat a man with a sword. Even the pettiest thing has its importance. I think the three young Masters failed to understand this smallest thing from their teachers," Nianzu asserted.

"Don't worry. I will not kill you. Also, Little Kid, do not waste your energy behind a commoner," Nianzu proclaimed and pulled his hand back. He threw the sword on the ground and walked past them.

"What was that?" Liu Shing asked and looked at Luo Zhen.

"Why did you two not help me?" Luo Zhen shouted at them.

"We were scared and--"

"Leave it! You two are cowards," Luo Zhen shouted at them and turned back. Nianzu had vanished from his sight. "He is not an ordinary commoner," Luo Zhen murmured.

Nianzu came out of the isolated place when a familiar hand surrounded his shoulder. He tilted his head and saw Fei Jing. "I almost helped you but you already started to fight them," Fei Jing stated. "An exceptional ability to use a fan for defense and attack. I am impressed," he said and passed him a smile.

"This all started because Young Master Fei invited me to his party," Nianzu said annoyingly. "Did by any chance--"

Immediately, Fei Jing cut the words of Nianzu. "No. I did not do that. Luo Zhen took your words to his ego. Also, I only wanted to know about your real self. That's why I called you to the party. I know you are the Fourth Prince. Do not worry. I will not tell anyone. I never knew a Prince could lead such a simple life and get beaten up. You are my ideal, Nianzu," Fei Jing said with glistening eyes.

Nianzu peered into his eyes and pushed him away. He did not say anything and walked ahead. Fei Jing sighed. "You are indeed my ideal, Nianzu," Fei Jing shouted. The people looked at them. Nianzu did not stop and kept walking.. There was a smile on his lips as, after a long time, he fought with someone.
